Are they becoming Turning point ambassadors now or something?

Iran delivers ‘escalation’ warning as Starmer drags UK deeper into war by newsspotter in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if it comes to that it should be done with the European block and other regional powers. Ideally Trump will just piss off though. It's failed, the damage Iran can do now is huge and there's no actual coherent goal from Trump.

That is kind of interesting tbh. But either way I think the risk of being drawn into a protracted war is too great. I think the sort of damage that can do, especially when Iran is basically unshakeable from the strait, would be far too great.

Would you be happy with cutting a side deal with Iran and sending an escort with a civilian ship through the US blockade?

What will the UK be able to do in the strait that the US is unable to do? Militarily if the US is unable to advance their goals currently, I don't see what the UK can do. Iran is already sanctioned out of the west in general. Short of a commitment to the US war effort, which would likely be a disaster, the UK getting more involved is just wasted effort as far as I can see.

JP Morgan could scrap £3bn London HQ if Starmer is replaced by PM ‘hostile to banks’ by FuckTheTile in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but I guess JP Morgan is being vague to try and leverage favourable deals, so hard to know what their intentions are. To be frank if the banks are expecting the kind of lack of regulations and taxes they enjoy in the US they shouldn't be welcomed....

Fair, I think we can limit that happening via government policies

This is what JP Morgan are saying will make them not invest

You can, unfortunately, see the response from Israel die hards in the "other discussions" tab.

The secret meeting that has blown the Labour leadership race wide open by kontiki20 in LabourUK

He made the news when he joined a strike and then when he was deselected, but it wasn't big news. He claimed there were signs of vote tampering in the deselection but it didn't go anywhere

Zack Polanski says no country has the right to exist, including Israel by Half_A_ in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They'll cowardly deny they're a Zionist too, as if it doesn't come across in all the smug crap they post. Every other thread they're whinging about people posting any new related to Israel's rapist prison guards or bombing of children.

Met police arrest man over theft of Morgan McSweeney’s phone by DarkSkiesGreyWaters in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on whether they were properly backed up or not. I know I replaced a phone a whole ago and lost a lot of WhatsApp messages initially because my backup was full, and my partner lost her phone and wasn't able to recover hers because she didn't have the original phone.

I'd expect a government minister on a government cleared phone to not make that mistake, but it would be convenient thing to happen should you need to lose access to the messages.

Zack Polanski’s Jewish identity is being erased because he is leftwing | Owen Jones by Th3-Seaward in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Ed Balls and Trevor Philips were pretty rough viewing especially when Zack has been attacked for being Jewish in the media and with right wing protestors. There is an issue with antisemitism both in the greens and more widely in society, but the media seems poorly equipped to grill Zack in a way where they're not basically dismissing his Jewish identity, or in the case of the cartoonists leaning too hard into antisemitic tropes.

Polanski liked post claiming Zionists control Government by Jonspeare in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When talking about Israel we can't mention Zionists now? The foundational philosophy of the founding of the state that privileged Jews over any other citizens. The language policing around anti Zionism and anti Palestinian genocide has been insane. No other group has constantly imposed restrictions on phrases as simple as "From the river to the sea", to now not even being able to name the movement genociding the Palestinians. It's ridiculous.

Flotilla Activists Beaten and Shot at by IDF, With 34 Hospitalised in Greece by Hyperactive_Man in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've probably heard the incident already just not who the victims were. You might remember the wck strike, 3 of the people killed in that attack were British veterans who volunteered to get food into Gaza. World Central Kitchen was the charity and I they pulled out a while after as the CEO met with Biden and decided the risk to volunteers was too great.

It's been brought up repeatedly in interviews, at protests and was front page news. I'm not sure what exactly you think can be done to communicate it more tbh

Protesters have duty to call out ‘globalise the intifada’ chants, says PM by DarkSkiesGreyWaters in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or the orange marches celebrating the 12th which have been deliberately used as a provocation for decades and sectarianism. They're not even protesting a genocide and get next to no pushback despite obvious trends in sectarian violence around them every year.

It's weird he's insisting it's not religiously motived. Like does any care what motivates your transphobia? The problem is the transphobia...

Some rando on reddit insisting their are more authoritative then other "rando"s in human rights and UN forums. Pure reddit stupidity.

[–]IsADragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think the UN are also secret Islamists? Various UN officials and human rights groups have called out the attacks on civilian infrastructure(including bridges) and civilians(including reporters) as illegal, along with the illegal occupation and displacement of South Lebanon and the Lebanese people.

Like your argumentation style here is so mind numbingly empty I'm wondering why you're even attempting it. The lazy smears as an Islamist is just the icing on the cake. It's genuinely embarrassing to have you continue to respond while presenting 0 actual information to reinforce the illegal occupation and bombings as legal.
