“Labour are the same as the Tories”
It's generally the Keir Starmer thread where this tankie wank comes up every couple of weeks.
I very much agree with your comments, well said!
HousecatHST-
That line is tediously trotted out in the Starmer thread by a couple of trolls on a regular basis, doesn’t matter what is said or information provided in response, on they plough their bullshit furrow.
But you’re right, the rant probably best fits there

Probably the wrong thread but I’ve really had enough of the “Labour are the same as the Tories”. I’m not mightily impressed by Labour but I’m calling bullshit.
Unless you’re trying to convince yourself that Labour is a borderline fascist party that believes in economic isolation and ultra-nationalism while pushing the views of the far right for at least a couple of years if not longer then the suggestion is utterly risible and suggests that you have an agenda, aren’t paying attention or are just very dim (no reason not to be 3 from 3).
But yes, let’s write off Labour, let’s honk on about economic incompetence (hypocrisy much) and pick apart every Labour utterance while giving the Tories a free pass (“time to move on” - fucking A but not in the way you mean). And yes, let’s pile in on Angela Rayner while ignoring Sunak’s, at best, opaque tax arrangements.
I mean, it’s almost like 14 years and counting of Tory destruction, corruption and spite haven’t happened, let’s shift to what Labour, not in power, is and isn’t doing. Labour aren’t implementing policies, they aren’t thrashing around like a fish out of water, gasping for air, they aren’t desperately salting the battlefield.
Labour are far from perfect but they are good enough at the moment, we’ve had 14 years of the Tories clearly showing us who they are and what they represent and they have to go (really, they should hang their heads in collective shame and fuck off quietly to their lucrative non executive directorships and consultancies).
So, Labour and the Tories are the same? Do fuck off
