In fact I'm pretty sure Cameron said exactly the same things in some instances, so maybe Starmer just copied and pasted them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495630729880076314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015711327272140942.post-10773449210440008472021-09-26T00:28:28.250+02:002021-09-26T00:28:28.250+02:00Firstly, I thought those were surf boards on the f...Firstly, I thought those were surf boards on the front cover of the essay! <br /><br />Seriously, most of what you've wrote in the first paragraph is just capitalism being capitalism. "Brexit chaos"- the people of countries such as: Libya; Yemen; & Venezuela would laugh at you for saying the UK is in chaos! "Soaring rates of in-work poverty" - you don't have anything against out of work poverty, I take it? "The alarming UK export collapse" - doesn't that reduce the UK's carbon footprint? Honestly, I agree with the points you've made on the Tories eroding our democracy; it's true what they say, 'conservative' is a synonym for 'reactionary'. <br /><br />"But he doesn't actually propose anything to materially help, he just uses the plight of ordinary people to piggyback on." - Opposition leaders have been doing that since the year dot. <br /><br />What's the difference between left-wingers and genuine socialists? Left-wingers want the country to be a fairer place, while real socialists want the world to be a fair place. <br /><br /><br /><br />Mr. Magoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148608007214183881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015711327272140942.post-91426202806059722522021-09-24T13:08:51.939+02:002021-09-24T13:08:51.939+02:00Agree with your analysis, but also concerned by hi...Agree with your analysis, but also concerned by his repeated reference to 'families'.
