Keir Starmer was not merely a disappointment. He is a mendacious figure of ethical decrepitude, a man who won the Labour Party leadership based on promises that he jettisoned five seconds after winning - a Labour leader who dared banish from the Labour Party not only his predecessor but also remarkable human beings like director Ken Loach - the gentleman who has taken the historic Labour Party and transformed it into a vessel for the very oligarchy it was elected to restrain.Consider the litany of Starmer’s moral and logical failures. He promised a 'different Britain', yet his actions were a masterclass in Tory-lite politics—using the same maxed-out credit card analogies that once served the austerity brigades to justify his own failure of vision. He promised a human rights lawyer’s approach but he embraced a racist-lite version of Farage. On Europe, Starmer promised Brexiteers that Brexit is Brexit yet stood before those who yearn to rejoin the European Union, winked at them to make them feel that Britain would gradually reconnect, even rejoin, with the EU while offering nothing of substance. This is not leadership; it is a fraud.And then there's the manner in which Starmer and his government rushed to offer Israel unequivocal support in pursuing its genocide in Gaza, sacrificing precious political and civil liberties in the UK by imprisoning grandmothers, priests and peaceful activists who dared support Palestine Action, an organisation that Starmer and his minions proscribed as terrorists for practising the usual activist tactics of trespassing to spray paint military planes that had demonstrably aided in the genocide. To add insult to injury, Starmer performed the diplomatic pantomime of recognising a Palestinian state, in a manner that ensured it would never happen.But above all else, this is a government that has learned nothing from the post-2008 era. Starmer and his Chancellor are playing the same tired austerity game while enabling and empowering the Finance Curse perpetrated by the City of London, throwing in forgood measure cuts in international aid to fund a military spending trickle under the guise of a "Strategic Defence Review" . It is the same old doctrine: austerity for the masses, socialism for the financiers and the arms dealers.History will remember Mr Starmer as a man without conviction, a Prime Minister who offers not a shred of honesty, but merely the cruel illusion of change. He is ethically decrepit because he had chosen, consciously, to abandon principle for power. And for that, history will indict him. Good riddance, I say.
"If you want to get a glimpse at the worst anarcho-tyranny in the Western world, look to Britain through the lens of the Grooming Gangs report and Clarkson's Farm.
On one hand, the police actively aided Pakistanis in abusing hundreds of thousands of little British girls, and otherwise did nothing to help those girls or stop the abusers.
On the other, a gentleman farmer will face a ruthless bureaucracy bent on stopping him from engaging in any productive activity.
From national badger protections to local refusals to let him build a parking lot or restaurant, the entire apparatus is arranged against a man trying to follow the law and rebuild his community
That is by design." ~Will Tanner

"Across Britain right now, farmers are shearing their sheep, bagging up the wool, and burning it.
Some bury it.
Some leave it to rot in a corner of the field.
The wool-burning has made the odd headline as a protest, but the truth is duller and sadder.
The fleece is worth less than the diesel it would take to haul it to the depot.
The numbers are grim.
In recent years a kilo of British wool has fetched somewhere between twenty and sixty pence, and hill breeds like Swaledale and Welsh Mountain sank as low as ten.
A whole fleece off a mountain ewe might bring thirty pence.
Shearing that same ewe costs the farmer around two pounds.
One Lincolnshire farmer added it up out loud: over three pounds to shear and cart a single fleece to the depot, and twenty-six pence back. So she burns them.
A great many do.
Here is the part that stings. The shearing still has to happen, every year, whatever the wool will fetch.
A sheep left in full fleece overheats, struggles to move, and gets eaten alive by maggots.
So the job carries on purely as welfare, a cost the farmer simply eats to spare the animal, with the wool itself going on the fire straight after. And think about what this fibre once was.
For centuries wool was the engine of the English economy, the country's greatest export and the crown's main source of tax.
It raised the soaring wool churches of the Cotswolds. It turned merchants into princes.
To this day, whoever presides over the House of Lords sits on the Woolsack, a literal cushion of wool, put there in the fourteenth century so nobody would forget where the nation's wealth began.
Prices have lifted off the floor this past year, the first real relief in a long while.
It still does not cover the shears for a hill farmer. The fibre that built England now smoulders in a heap behind the barn, and almost nobody notices the smoke."
