Just imagine how thick you'd have to be to actually believe Theresa May's faux concerns about the suffering of the people in Syria.
Just imagine how much gullibility it would take to actually believe that Theresa May bypassed parliament and defied public opinion to attack Syria because she cares so much about the people who live there.
Theresa May doesn't give a damn about Israeli snipers gunning down journalists and unarmed protesters in Gaza as if killing Arabs is some kind of highly entertaining sport.
She hasn't spoken out against this barbarism and her government still allow arms export licences to Israel so that the Israeli military can use British manufactured weapons against the massively over-populated open air prison that is Gaza.
Theresa May doesn't give a damn about her Turkish mates shooting the Kurdish Rojava in the back as they try to fight off the Saudi-backed ISIS terrorists in front of them.
She hasn't spoken out against these disgusting attacks and her government still allow arms export licences to Turkey so that they can use British manufactured weapons to attack the brave Rojava fighters who are defending their people from ISIS.
Theresa May doesn't give a damn about her tyrannical Saudi mates bombing civilians, attacking refugees, and deliberately causing famine in Yemen.
She hasn't spoken out against these disgusting war crimes and her government still allow arms export licences to Saudi Arabia so that they can use British manufactured weapons to commit their war crimes with, because if we didn't cash in by selling them the weapons, someone else might (yes this is actually the UK government's official position).
And you don't even have to look abroad to find proof of Theresa May's callous disregard for human life, because she doesn't even give a damn that tens of thousands of (mainly vulnerable) British people have died because of her party's sickening obsession with austerity dogma.
She knows perfectly well that thousands have died as a result of Tory cuts to the NHS, to the social care system, to the police and fire services, and to the welfare system, but she's intent on imposing even more hard-right austerity cuts, and inflicting even more suffering and death on her own damned people.
So how on earth could anyone actually believe that this ghoulish and obsessively self-serving woman gives the slightest damn about the suffering of people in Syria?

Anna Campbell gave up her comfortable western lifestyle and her job to travel to the Kurdish region of northern Syria in order to fight ISIS. She did this because the democratic Kurdish Rojava are demonstrably the only real good guys in the brutal Syrian civil war (the other main forces being the Assad regime, ISIS, other Islamist terrorists, Russia, Turkey, and the increasingly marginalised anti-Assad rebels who kicked the whole thing off).
Of course she knew that she was putting her life in danger by taking up arms to defend Kurdish democracy from the threat of ISIS, but she wanted to help make the world a better place.
Anna was killed last week as a result of Turkish shelling in the Kurdish town of Afrin.
Turkey has continually intervened in the Syrian conflict in order to attack the Kurdish forces that are trying to drive ISIS and the other Islamist fanatics out of Syria.
Turkey also stands accused of allowing Islamist extremists and military supplies to flow across the border into and out of Syria, treating wounded ISIS fighters in Turkish hospitals, and funding ISIS by buying their oil.
Aside from their interventions in Syria to support ISIS and other Islamist terrorist groups, Turkey itself is in the grip of a brutal and repressive dictatorship. There are more journalists in Turkish jails than any other country on earth.
Theresa May and the Tories don't care about any of this though. Human rights violations in Turkey, support for vile Islamist terrorists in neighbouring countries, attacks on the Kurds who are fighting back against ISIS ... it's all swept under the carpet because just like Saudi Arabia, Turkey is a marketplace for British weapons.
Just a couple of months ago Theresa May and the Tories signed a £100 million fighter jet deal with the Turkish tyrant Erdoğan.
And Theresa May and the Tories have also flogged an incredible £4.6 billion worth of arms Saudi Arabia in the full knowledge that they're a barbaric tyranny that funds, arms, and supplies terrorist fighters to ISIS, and also uses British weapons to commit war crimes in Yemen.
If Anna Campbell hadn't been killed by the British-backed Turkish forces behind her, she could just have easily have been killed by the Saudi Arabian and Turkish backed ISIS terrorists in front of her. Both of the enemies that wanted to kill Anna and wipe out the emerging democracy in Kurdistan are ultimately backed by Theresa May and the Tories.
Probably the worst thing of all is that it's only really in unusual cases where this Tories' grotesque foreign policy of hawking weapons to the most brutal and tyrannical regimes on earth ends up killing a British citizen that the British media pay any kind of attention.
So often the British press are willing to turn a blind eye when it's gays and atheists being beheaded and crucified in Saudi Arabia; huge numbers of Yemeni civilians suffering Saudi war crimes and starvation; dozens of Turkish journalists languishing in jail for doing their jobs; millions of civilians displaced in Syria and Iraq as the Turkish/Saudi backed Islamist terrorists run amok; or hundreds of Kurdish democratic fighters being shot in the back by Turkish forces as they try to defend their region from Islamist terrorism.
When Britain should be following Anna Campbell's lead and standing in solidarity with one of the few genuinely democratic movements in the Middle East, our government actually arms and supports the tyrants who seek to destroy them.

After demonstrating her weakness by allowing Priti Patel to resign as International Development Secretary, rather than sacking her for her secrecy and lies, Theresa May demonstrated it once again by capitulating to Brexiteer demands that she had to replace Patel with one of their fellow Brexiteers.
The Brexit fanatic that Theresa May has decided to promote is Penny Mordaunt, who was one of the most egregious of the Brexit liars during the EU referendum campaign.
In the run up to the EU referendum Mordaunt decided to go onto national television and repeatedly lie that the UK had no veto to prevent Turkey from joining the EU. She was challenged several times on her claims by the host Andrew Marr, but just kept repeating the her lies by saying "we are not going to be able to have a say" and "we would be unable to stop Turkey joining".
Not only was Mordaunt guilty of outright lying to the British people about Britain's power of veto within the EU, she was obviously doing so in order to provoke anti-Islamic and anti-refugee sentiments, by making reference to the "migrant crisis" amongst her bombardment of lies.
It's beyond doubt that Theresa May knows about Mordaunt's lies and xenophobia-stoking rhetoric, because the furore over her lies about Britain being unable to stop Turkey joining the EU went all the way to the top of the Tory party, with David Cameron issuing a rebuke.
But as has become so painfully obvious since her vanity election backfired so dramatically, Theresa May is in a shockingly weak political position. So she's been forced to elevate one of the worst Brexit liars into her cabinet, not because she feels she's the best person for the job, but because she knows that a revolt by the hard-right Brexit fanatics in her own party would surely be the final straw that brings her shambolic tenure as Prime Minister crashing to the ground.
As much as it's entertaining to see Theresa May reduced from the terrifying right-wing authoritarian wannabe tyrant she wanted to be in April, to a hopeless wreck of a leader being pulled one way and the other six months later, it's also extremely worrying, because the people who seem to be exerting the most influence on her are not the more moderate centre-right Tories, nor the centrist elements of the press, it's the fanatical hard-right Tory "no deal" Brexiteers and the likes of Daily Mail hatemonger in chief Paul Dacre.
We know that the hard-right Brexiteers desperately crave a ruinous "no deal" Brexit because they envisage rich pickings for their disaster capitalist mates as they use the ensuing economic meltdown to buy up swathes of British infrastructure on the cheap like a pack of vultures stripping the flesh off a corpse.
And we can also see that Theresa May has neither the will, nor the authority to stand up to the dangerous "no deal" fanatics in her own party, because there's no other explanation for the elevation of Penny Mordaunt when there are literally dozens of more suitable candidates in her party who don't happen to be one of the most egregious of the Brexit liars.
This latest feeble capitulation to the whims of the hard-right Brexiteers is a evidence that the longer Theresa May keeps clinging to power, the more probable a socially and economically catastrophic "no deal" flounce out of the EU becomes, because she simply doesn't have the authority to stand up to the elements of her own party who are so desperate for it to happen.

October 27th 2017 will go down as a historic day in Catalonia no matter what happens from here on in. The Catalan parliament has voted to declare independence from Spain, and the Spanish nationalist government in Madrid has responded by launching a coup against the democratic and social institutions of Catalonia.
Within minutes of the Catalan declaration of independence the right-wing Spanish government moved to scrap the Catalan parliament, and to give themselves to power to seize control of the Catalan police (Mossos) and independent Catalan broadcast media.
The Spanish prosecutor in Madrid has threatened that everybody involved in the independence vote will be arrested and held as political prisoners like the two Catalan civic leaders Jordi Sánchez and Jordi Cuixart who are already being held captive.
Anyone with any political sense whatever must be able to see what an atrocious mess the Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has made of the situation with his tactics of violent repression and continual bone-headed escalation.
When he used brute force against non-violent civilians on the day of the referendum he not only created a PR disaster for Spain, he also completely destroyed his ability to cite the low poll turnout as a reason the referendum lacks legitimacy (you can't steal an estimated 700,000 votes from ballot boxes and violently intimidate people away from the polling stations, then complain the turnout wasn't high enough).
When he continually refused to enter dialogue with the Catalan secessionists after the vote, and set about plotting a coup to abolish the Catalan parliament instead, he simply spurred them on to make their independence declaration before the Spanish nationalist coup was launched.
Sadly a lot of people who oppose Catalan independence have bought into the simplistic tribal mentality that if you oppose the Catalan secession, then you need to side with and justify the idiotic and self-defeating moves that Mariano Rajoy and the Spanish nationalist establishment have made in response.
Even more disappointingly, several politicians and institutions that should have been positioning themselves as neutrals have destroyed any hope that they can mediate between the factions by openly siding with the Spanish nationalist government in Madrid.
Just hours before the Catalan parliament declared independence and Madrid responded by launching their coup, the EU President Donald Tusk issued what is likely to be remembered as on of the most ill-considered political statements an EU representative has ever made.
His absurd proclamation that "nothing changes", his determination that the EU will only talk with Madrid, and his pathetic "hope" that the Spanish nationalist government don't resort to violence (again) are unacceptable.
Whichever way you look at it "nothing changes" is a delusional rejection of observable reality. Not only has the Catalan parliament unilaterally declared independence from Spain, the Spanish government is launching a social and political coup against Catalonia.
Spain is undergoing its worst political crisis since it joined the EU. In fact it's arguably the worst crisis since the 1936-39 civil war when the fascist military dictator Franco seized control of the country and set about brutally repressing the Catalan people until 1975.
If this kind of extraordinary political meltdown is considered business as usual in the EU, then perhaps the Brexiters were right all along that the EU is an absolutely farcical organisation that the UK is better off out of?
Tusk's declaration that Spain remains the EU's "only interlocutor" is a catastrophic error of judgement under the circumstances. If the EU leadership had any sense whatever they'd be positioning themselves as neutral mediators not openly siding with Madrid and refusing to even talk to the Catalan political leaders, because after all, the Catalan people are EU citizens too.
Then to tack a vague wishy-washy sound bite onto the end of his statement about how he hopes that the Spanish government favours "force of argument not argument of force" is simply not good enough.
The Spanish government already graphically demonstrated its willingness to resort to violence and repression on October 1st (we all saw it happening on social media) and the EU demonstrated its refusal to condemn it, so EU figures simply hoping that the Spanish government don't resort to violent repression again is clearly no disincentive whatever.
What Tusk should have done is explain that it would be unacceptable for an EU member nation to resort to violence and repression against EU citizens, because all EU citizens are entitled to freedom of speech and freedom from state repression.
Another problem with this vague hope that the Spanish government don't resort to violence and repression is that it's stark-staringly obvious that the only way that conflict and violence can be averted now is through urgent dialogue and mediation. Something that Tusk made all the more difficult in his previous sentence affirming that the EU sides with the Spanish government and has no interest whatever in talking to the Catalans or taking on the role of the neutral mediator.
It's hardly possible to be disappointed with the belligerent, violent, and anti-democratic escalations of Mariano Rajoy and his party. He was always a fool promoted way beyond his abilities, and they were always a bunch of extraordinarily corrupt hard-right fanatics. Only a fool would have expected better from that repulsive bunch.
However, the EU stance, as outlined in Donald Tusk's Twitter statement, is absolutely exasperating.
If they continue to bury their heads in the sand and refuse to act as impartial mediators this crisis is only going to get worse, and the EU's critics will have an absolute field day when Catalonia descends into tyranny, police violence, mass civil disobedience, the taking of political prisoners, or even tanks on the streets of Barcelona.
It's bad enough that the EU allows this kind of extreme political repression to go on just across the border in Turkey without imposing sanctions and demanding the restoration of liberal democracy, but it'll be a whole new level of wrongness if they allow this kind of repression within EU borders and against EU citizens, and insist on siding with the government that is inflicting it.

Dear potential Tory voter,
I'm writing this letter about the unbelievable claim that you made about how you would be voting Tory at the General Election because you care so much about the future your grandchildren will be facing!
I'd just like to clarify a few things:
You're going to vote for a woman who U-turns so regularly it's impossible to know which way she'll be facing tomorrow?
Presumably you want your grandchildren to grow up in a world where their political leaders just make things up as they go along to suit their own self-interest.
You're going to vote for a woman whose political party has already condemned 400,000 British kids to growing up in poverty, and who just condemned another 250,000 more to poverty with the child welfare and in-work benefits cuts they introduced at the beginning of April?
Presumably you want your grandchildren and/or their peers to spend their childhood years living in poverty.
You're going to vote for a woman whose political party has overseen the longest sustained decline in real wages since records began, meaning average real wages are an incredible 10% lower now than they were in 2008?
Presumably you don't want your grandchildren to have well paid jobs.
You're going to vote for a woman who licks the boots of Saudi Islamist war criminals and the brutal Turkish tyrant Recep Erdoğan?
Presumably you want your grandchildren to grow up in a world where Islamist war criminals and repressive dictators have more sway with the British government than your grandkids do themselves.
You're going to vote for a woman who has cut real terms spending on education in order to fund tax cuts for her rich mates?
Presumably you don't want your grandchildren to grow up to be smart and well educated.
You're going to vote for a woman who is pushing the NHS to the brink of destruction with her severe funding cuts, hospital closures, her health secretary's ideological war with the junior doctors and the recruitment crisis she's exacerbated by driving EU nurses out of the NHS whilst simultaneously deterring tens of thousands of potential future nurses by scrapping the NHS bursaries?
Presumably you don't want your grandchildren to have access to a functioning health service that is provided on the basis of need, rather than the ability to pay for it?
You're going to vote for a woman whose party introduced the highest public university fees in the world for students in England, ensuring that 2/3 of today's students will never pay off their student debts in their entire working lives, despite paying a whopping 9% aspiration tax on their disposable income for having dared to try to better themselves?
Presumably you don't want your grandchildren to get a professional qualification of any kind, or a massive unpayable debt mountain if they do have such aspirations.
You're going to vote for a woman who is vowing to strip UK citizens of their right to live, work, study or retire in any one of 27 other European nations in order to appease the anti-immigrant fanaticism of the hard-right demographic?
Presumably you don't want your grandchildren to have the same rights to travel and work abroad as you did yourself.
You're going to vote for a woman whose party has created far more new public debt in just seven years than every single Labour government in history combined?
Presumably you want your grandchildren to grow up paying off the massive debts that the Tories are obviously going to continue racking up in order to fund even more tax cuts for the already extremely rich.
You're going to vote for a woman whose party has overseen the least affordable house prices in history and the lowest level of new housebuilding since the 1920s?
Presumably you don't want your grandkids to ever own a house.
Just admit it. You're not really thinking about your grandchildren's interests at all are you?
In the grim amoral calculus you performed when you decided to you want to vote Tory, you decided that trashing your grandchildren's future was worth it in return for whatever (likely imaginary) personal benefit you'd be getting from a Tory government.
You're thinking entirely about yourself and what you want, and just invoking your poor grandchildren to present a (transparently thin) veneer of basic human decency to your utterly selfish "I'm alright Jack" attitude.
I feel sorry for your grandchildren having such a self-serving grandparent. I really do.

The Daily Mail is an extreme-right propaganda rag that gleefully celebrated the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis and promoted Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists in the 1930s, so it's no surprise to see them giddy with joy at Theresa May's efforts to turn the UK into a fanatically right-wing one party state where anyone who dares to try and hold her to account gets "crushed".
"Crush the saboteurs" shrieks the Daily Mail front page, but it's important to remember who these saboteurs are:
First it was the High Court judges who did their job of protecting parliamentary sovereignty and ensuring that Theresa May couldn't just make up the laws of the land to suit her own interests with no democratic scrutiny whatever. "Enemies of the people" for standing up for parliamentary sovereignty!
The only thing the High Court judges were guilty of sabotaging was Theresa May's autocratic power-grab, and the furious tide of right-wing hatred and contempt towards the judiciary for holding their beloved leader to account was a real eye opener for anyone who believes that the government actually needs to be held to account by the judicial system.
Then it was the opposition parties and the House of Lords who tried to add a couple of amendments to the Article 50 bill that Theresa May would never have put through parliament at all if it weren't for the judges protecting democracy from her dictatorial tendencies.
One amendment was aimed at getting Theresa May to start working towards offering some reassurance and certainty to the estimated 3 million EU nationals who live in the UK. "No way" said the Tory party, "the lives of those people are bargaining chips in our power games. If we can't hang the sword of Damocles over their heads, then we won't be able to secure the quickfire pro-corporate anti-worker trade deal we're demanding from the EU". So the simple amendment to get the government to work towards treating these 3 million people as valued contributors to our society was thrown on the scrap heap.
The second amendment was to ensure that parliament gets some kind of meaningful vote on whatever the Brexit agreement turns out to be, but that was way too much democracy for Theresa May and the Tories, so that amendment got thrown out too. This means that the European Parliament will get a democratic vote on the Brexit deal, but the UK parliament won't. Not only that, but all of the national parliaments of the 27 EU states will get a vote on the post-Brexit EU-UK trade deal, but the UK parliament won't.
These efforts to democratically scrutinise what Theresa May is doing, and get her to work towards securing the lives and livelihoods of EU citizens in the UK are clearly far too much for Theresa May and her cheerleaders in the extreme-right press, so she's called a snap election (like she repeatedly promised that she wouldn't) so that she can crush all opposition to her autocratic scheming.
Headlines calling for all opposition to Theresa May's anti-democratic rule to be crushed look like something from Erdoğan's dictatorial regime in Turkey, where opposition politicians and journalists are rounded up and imprisoned, and non-violent demonstrations are ruthlessly repressed. Not something from the country that did so much to enshrine human rights across Europe when Winston Churchill (Tory) and Clement Attlee (Labour) collaborated to introduce the European Convention on Human Rights (you know, the Churchill legacy that Theresa May is so desperate to scrap).
It hardly seems like a coincidence that Recep Erdoğan was one of the first world leaders Theresa May went to beg for a post-Brexit trade deal after announcing her unbelievably crude threat-based Brexit "negotiating strategy" in her woeful January 2017 clown costume speech.
If the English electorate don't wake up soon and consider the horrifying implications of the socially and economically ruinous "no deal" scenario that Theresa May is slow-marching us towards, we're going to end up shunning the liberal democracies of Europe in order to suck up to some of the worst regimes and most unstable leaders in the world, like Erdoğan's Turkey, Donald Trump, Duterte in the Philippines and the barbaric Islamist tyrants in Saudi Arabia that Theresa May loves to grovel for so much.
If the Daily Mail are telling us to help Theresa May to eviscerate all opposition to her dream of turning the UK into a savagely right-wing authoritarian one party state where all dissent to her autocratic rule is crushed, it's about time to realise the importance of electing as many MPs who are willing to hold her to account as possible.

Even though I've stated many times that I don't but into the party political tribalism thing, a lot of people tend to think of me as a Labour Party supporter. I guess that's understandable given the way I've often felt compelled to offer a counter-narrative to the savage propaganda war the mainstream media are conducting against Jeremy Corbyn. I can see Corbyn's problems easily enough, but beneath his poor speaking skills and his lack of charisma, he's a decent man with strong political convictions who has been unfairly maligned by the media.
On the other side of the political spectrum there's another guy I quite like. It's obvious that I have a lot fewer political ideals in common with Ken Clarke as I do with Jeremy Corbyn, because it's pretty damned unlikely that I would share much political territory with a guy who served in the governments of Margaret Thatcher, John Major and David Cameron.
On the other hand I like the way Ken Clarke has become pretty honest and outspoken in his old age.
During the shambolic post-referendum Tory leadership election he was recorded having a candid conversation with his fellow Thatcher cabinet minister Malcolm Rifkind in which he described Theresa May as "a bloody difficult woman" and blasted Michael Gove as being so fanatically right-wing that he even shocked the disgraced Liam Fox.
When it came to the Article 50 vote, Ken Clarke was the only Tory to ignore the party whip and vote against it. It's actually pretty extraordinary that he was the only one given that the majority of Tory MPs campaigned to stay in the EU. However all the rest of them were willing to follow Theresa May's lead and abandon their stated principles in order to vote in favour of this massive act of economic self-harm.
Ken Clarke's explanations over why he decided to rebel were full of more candid political insight.
Clarke on the Tory Brexit shambles
"I've never seen anything as mad or chaotic as this."
This is quite some admission from a guy who served under Margaret Thatcher (Monetarism, 20%+ interest rates, the Poll Tax fiasco), John Major (Rail privatisation, Black Wednesday) and David Cameron (the failed rush to war in Syria, six years of economically ruinous austerity).
"The government are going to extraordinary lengths to try to avoid being accountable to parliament ... It leads me to the unworthy suspicion that they don’t have a clear policy that they have agreed on, so they are trying to minimise its exposure."
It's pretty extraordinary that so little fuss has been made about Theresa May's effort to overrule parliamentary sovereignty and turn the UK into an autocracy where she alone gets to make and repeal laws. Thankfully this dictatorial power-grab was defeated by the courts, hence the hopelessly rushed and error-strewn Brexit white paper and the Article 50 vote.
Clarke on Remain voters
"It's quite obvious that some of the 16 million [Remain voters] were much bucked by the fact that somebody was still being as obdurate as I was and refusing to see why on earth they should all be abandoned. Actually, I think the 16 million were right."
It's pretty sad that the several million Tories who voted Remain are left with just one man to represent their views in parliament because the rest of the Tory MPs are determined to put pure political expediency above what they actually think is best for Britain.
Clarke on Theresa May
"I am trying to minimise giving you opportunities to attack Theresa ... [but] going to see President Trump and President Erdoğan as her first two highly publicised calls showed the limitations of 'the new global politics'."
I suppose that it's good that there's at least one person in the Tory party with a sense of distaste at Theresa May sucking up to a brutal dictator and a bigoted narcissist on the world stage.
Clarke on Donald Trump
"Well, they [the government] have got this slogan about a global Britain, so obviously they want to illustrate this by having good photo-opportunities with leading figures around the world. So I suppose they thought it was quite a political coup to finally land this first meeting with him. But it's a mixed blessing because we happen to have a rather unpleasant and highly unpredictable American president."
Clarke on the fantasy of a beneficial Tory-Trump trade deal
"It's possible that for some reason he [Trump] wants to have a trade deal with us while he's busy repudiating deals with everybody else but I don't ... think ... so."
Conclusion
The reason I quite like Ken Clarke is not because he was the only Tory with guts enough to stick by his principles and vote against triggering Article 50, I quite liked him before he did that.
Back in the 1980s and 90s Clarke was perfectly happy to go along with all kinds of right-wing Tory madness, and he's still a free market fanatic despite openly admitting the catastrophic failure to solve the problem of inequality.
The difference nowadays is that the political spectrum has now shifted so far to the right that a once centre-right Tory has ended up looking like a rebellious leftie these days, simply because he's pretty much stayed where he was while the rest of the Tory party has dashed off into bonkers extreme-right Ukipper territory.
Clarke is still a right-winger, and I fundamentally disagree with him on numerous issues (privatisation, austerity, corporate outsourcing, tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich, tax-dodging ...) but I have a certain measure of respect for him. The main reason I've got time for him these days is that as he's got old and a bit cantankerous, he's taken to quite often telling the truth and plainly expressing his views, which is pretty rare for most politicians, let alone a Tory one.
