Just seen Starmer's speech at Silverstone during the week and was really surprised and pleased with it. It's such a tricky subject to tackle the right wings phony culture wars, especially in opposition and way ahead in the polls, but I was delighted he spoke on it. The rights imagined war on woke and the damage such a cruel and insincere tactic is doing needs to be addressed for the good of society.
 
Probably also could happily live in the Grifting thread, but what is this absolute aching gonad on about here????


Britain will be “Venezuela for 20 years” if Labour wins the next general election, Dr Jordan Peterson has warned.

Speaking to The Telegraph, the Canadian psychologist said that it was “highly likely” that Sir Keir Starmer would be elected, but that it would be a “catastrophe”.

In a wide-ranging interview, Dr Peterson also said that believing people can change gender represents “maximal confusion” and criticised the ideology of “diversity is unity”.

He praised Margaret Thatcher as an “ethically admirable person” and a conservative with a “spine”, the likes of whom has been missing from politics in recent years.
Dr Peterson is a best-selling author, psychologist and Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto, with twenty years’ experience of teaching courses at educational institutions including Harvard University.

Labour currently has a 17 per cent lead over the Conservatives in the polls. With Rishi Sunak struggling to unite a divided Tory party, there is speculation an election could be called as early as spring 2024.

Speaking from Toronto, Dr Peterson said: “You guys, you elect a Labour government, you’re gonna be Venezuela for 20 years.

“I’m terrified it would be a catastrophe if the UK voted [in] a Labour government. You’re gonna be in for rough waters if you were foolish enough to do that. But yeah, it’s highly likely,” he said.

Once the richest country in South America, Venezuela has endured a series of crises under decades of socialist rule. Nicolas Maduro, its president, stands accused of tightening his grip on institutions such as the judiciary and the electoral commission, and has most recently threatened to take over an oil-rich region controlled by neighbouring Guyana.


There's also some gibberish about Canadian trans politics, a new University thing he's starting and an unclear vision of society he purports.

Comedic the 'highbrow' Conservative organ is pushing this twonk as an authoritative voice / intellectual rallying point.
 
Look at this vacuous bell end. Caught in the headlights by a perfectly reasonable question that has an easy to explain answer but he splutters away at it.

The Manchurian Candidate.

 
Vote Labour, get Tories.

Did you see Wes Streeting on the BBC today?

"We'll hold the door open to businesses running the NHS".


Don't say you weren't warned.

….Streeting is right in saying it’s not just about throwing more monies at the NHS, it needs a new approach. For example, the IT system is archaic and a nationwide revamp joining up GPs, Hospitals etc using single person identifier (NHS numbers) would make things far more efficient.

He’s spent a lot of time visiting other countries and studying other models. Be interesting to see plans ahead of the GE.
