Really making a strong argument here, aren’t they.
“My speech was nothing like Enoch Powell’s, I just happened to use some of the same words as him.”
I find this shit funny because it just confirms that starma is a blank slate of a person with no actual values to himself, which tracks with everything he has said about himself.
I don’t even believe he would do anything beyond try and placate the public on the issue, not actual resolve the issues we have with immigration.
Surely this will get him elected.
Eunuch Powell
I’m sure that this revolutionary act of defiance will finally make the electorate want socialism comrades!
Just think – there are peple out there who think editing wikipedia articles is the height of comedy. They could be your neighbours, they could be your workmates. Nobody is safe.
US Left: ‘Don’t vote vote for Biden! He’s a traitor to the Liberal left!’ *Trump gets elected and immediately begins demolishing anything resembling a welfare state in the US and selling it off to their friends, deporting people for their opinions, gives Isreal free reign to slaughter and settle in Gaza*
UK Left, a few months later: ‘Don’t vote for Starmer! He’s a traitor to the Liberal Left!’
I see no way this can end badly.
Yeah ok. Why didn’t they do that with Nigel Farage’s face?
This is pathetic.
You people deserve Nigel Farage.
“Anyone that wants any control on immigration is a literal fascist”
Gosh I wonder why Corbyn and his ilk didn’t win any elections.
I read the speech as a very left leaning individual (a big fan of Corbyn etc) I wholeheartedly agree with everything he said.
There has been a distinct drop in community spirit in the UK, even in my short lifetime. Adding more and more people, especially people with distinctly different backgrounds, cultures and society will only help worsen this problem until it’s unrecoverable. As Starmer put it “an island of strangers”.
This speech bears 0 resemblance to Powell. As anyone with more than 14 IQ will tell you it’s about the context and background as much as it is the words. Powell was a full on racist bastard, Starmer is not.
Demonstrating once again that when the argument is lost most are too immature to stop themselves from using the ad hominem.
What evidence is there it was a Corbynite?
Could have been anyone.
Alexei Sayle, was this you?
Bunch of children.
Ah the wit of the momentum faction of the labour party, and yes that includes the Corbyn lot.
They completely fail to understand people want immigration controls and that this is regardless of their typical political lean. They are also the ones that scream racist at anyone who brings the issue up.
That lot are a fast track to a farage government
Starmer is at least trying to get on with things and address concerns
Corbynites?
Are people still assuming that those on the Left of the Labour party are all Corbyn supporters?
Are these the same people who still use the term ‘Remoaners’ and ‘Two-Tier Keir’??
FFS get a Grip.
If leftists actually listened to Powell, there’d be no threat of reform and they could have their leftist paradise, assuming their socialist policies are economically successful. Instead we have race riots
jesus lmao this sub fucking loves starmer doesn’t it?
Fuck me. The term ‘corbynite’ was one I thought we left behind in 2017. As for editing a Wikipedia article to make a political statement, that must be 10 years *more* out of date.
‘Maybe we don’t need to accept 1 million migrants a year and when we do it might be nice if they spoke English, had some skills and weren’t criminals?’
RAAAAAACCCCIST!
We’re doomed
Wasn’t Starmer supoposed to focus on “smashing the boat gangs and people smugglers”…instead, He decides to go after Care workers from the Phillipines…that man is a disaster.
‘Island of Strangers’ has been taken out of context. He was referring to a failure of integration, not pointing the finger at immigrants.
This is a great insult to the memory of Enoch Powell.
There’s no such thing as a Corbynite anymore
Bitter Corbynites, they won the argument clearly…
Poundshop Powell
Why don’t they all just fuck off to Cuba.
Oh, so Starmer’s Wikipedia page got a bit of digital graffiti? Shocking. Almost as shocking as the idea that anyone still thinks that allotment Gandalf, Jezza Corbyn, was anything other than a one-way ticket to Torysville, propped up by a brigade of £3 entryist cranks.
Honestly,, you can’t polish a figuratively festering ablution, and Labour under Corbyn was beyond even industrial-strength Flash. Blair might have swilled Chardonnay and led us into a godawful war, hollowing out the party like a stale baguette, but at least he won. Then came the years of Miliband’s bacon butty ballet, paving the way for Saint Jeremy and his band of merry Trots who thought “electability” was a dirty word.
Suddenly, proper Labour concerns were out, and barmy ideological purity tests were in. Antisemitism? Handled with the urgency of a sloth on a go-slow. The result? An electoral drubbing that made 2019 a byword for “Labour self-immolation,” leaving the party about as popular as a fart in a spacesuit.
So yes, “Sir” Keir “irons his socks” Starmer is a bit of a snooze. But he’s had to dredge Labour back from the abyss those “kinder, gentler” wreckers plunged it into. Credit (and due criticism when warranted) where it’s due for even attempting that Herculean Hoovering job.
As for the Wikipedia vandals? Meh….
Thing is like at least 60% of the country agrees so I don’t think he’s a racist or a far right. Tories got elected for 14 years because one of the key things in every election was immigration. A lot of people including myself just don’t believe the 2 main parties will ever actually make a dent in immigration and bring it down.
What’s Owen Jones’ wiki username again?
I think the best part of them publicly using the term “the right honorable” is that, when used in parliament, it essentially translates to “that cunt across the bench”

Or maybe it’s reform that did it
