I don't stand with or trust Sir Keir Starmer


Dear World, I'd just like to point out that most UK people think Sir Keir Starmer is a monumental bellend, a weak corporate suck-up, a souless, toxic cowardly genocide supporter, and doesn't tell the truth unless it's dragged out of him. In other words, he's a liar who doesn't even remotely represent our nation  on any  level .
Hiking University Tuition Fees by 13.5% when he has previously repeatedly pledged to scrap them entirely is a total betrayal of young people. Whilst not provide money for things such as the Winter Fuel Allowance and lifting the two-child welfare cap.
One of the most prolific liars in politics, Keir Starmer has no principles, morales or backbone. He is a shapeshifter, saying whatever is convenient at the time to make him look ‘good’. I knew it was going to be a rough four years but he’s exceeded expectations so far. To hear him calling for Israel to commit to a ceasefire while selling it weapons was like a bartender suggesting you quit drinking as they poured out another double whiskey. 
Starmer,  a former human rights lawyer,  then on Monday, reaffirmed he "stands with" and "fully supports" Israel and warned he is "deeply concerned" that the Middle East "is on the brink"
Last month, the UN formally declared Israel an apartheid state and it is currently before the ICJ charged with genocide. This fraud is a foreign agent or a brazen hypocrite who stands with Israel, genocide, apartheid. ethnic cleansing  and  inanticide and shames us on a daily basis.
Israel has confirmed several airforce bases were hit by Iran while civilian damage was "only minor" and caused by shrapnel from interception missiles. But Keir Starmer said: "The Iranian regime has launched over 200 ballistic missiles at civilian targets in Israel."A brazen grave lie.
I have heard Starmer completely condemn Iran's attack on Israel, I  listened to him  refer to children being killed, which I'm terribly sad about, all lives are precious, especially beautiful innocent children, .but I've never heard Starmer  shed a concern for the 20 thousand plus children killed, blown to pieces or buried alive under rubble in Gaza.
Two thousand Lebanese have been killed in the last few weeks. These people do not matter in the slightest to the British government  or Starmer. Indeed, they are enabling and subsidising this bloodshed. I  am not sure who Sir Keir Starmer thinks he’s speaking for but I absolutely do not stand with Israel, nor any other genocidal state that is hell bent on causing World War 3.
Starmer  continues to  kowtow to the State terrorism of Zionist Israel and never condemns it. Justifies mass murder and devastation of innocent Arab civilians by Israel but treats Israeli lives as though they matter more.  
Starmer is a very wealthy man who has a net worth of approximately £7.7 million who has accepted hundreds of thousands in  corporate donations and freebies than all Labour leaders since 1997 and was more than happy to take £20k so his son could study privately while condemning millions of  pensioners to living in the freezing cold. 
All of the donations were within parliament’s rules but Starmer has faced accusations of hypocrisy since the furore comes as he is asking ordinary Britons to tighten their belts. Following a backlash, he announced an overhaul of hospitality rules for government ministers to try to ensure better transparency around what is accepted, and in a  damage limitation exercise Starmer has since  repaid thousands of pounds in freebies in an  attempt to restore trust in politics.
I don't forget that Starmer  has offered no support to working class people striking for better pay, while finding time to condemn every single protest that takes place in Britain. and having a career history of defending corrupt policemen and persecuting the poor. For all the reasons  stated I certainly don’t trust or stand with this  rancid narcissistic,war mongering, serial pledge breaking, shitweasel, who will end up the most hated PM ever, with the clowns in his cabinet not far behind.

Rest in Peace Kris Kristoffersson Outlaw country musician, Hollywood actor and Human Rights Advocate (22/6/36 - 30/9/24)

 

Sad news to  hear that  the legendary Outlaw country musician and Hollywood actor  Kris Kristoffersson has passed. He died at home in Maui Hawaii   at the weekend on Saturday, September 28, 2024,  He was 88. The singer was reportedly surrounded by family at the time of his passing.
 Kristofferson was born in Brownsville, Texas in June of 1936. Kristofferson attended Pomona College and later earned a Rhodes scholarship to attend Oxford University. The child of a military man, he chose to enlist in the U. S. Army as a helicopter pilot upon the completion of his studies. His military career was a promising one, and yet he left the service in pursuit of becoming a Nashville songwriter.  Like many young artists, he struggled to find his footing in a brutal industry, but his  star rose to fame in the 1960’s and 1970’s with hits like Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make it Through the Night, and Sunday Morning Coming Down. His poetic lyrics made an impact on artists of all walks of life, as he became a staple in the country music industry alongside names like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and of course his dear friend Willie Nelson. 
The raw nature of his songwriting and his approach to speaking to the brutal nature of life and love brought a kind of vulnerability to the country music industry that wasn’t present previously. The body of his musical work, alongside that of his fellow outlaw country music artists, has made a lasting impact on the landscape of country music that continues to shape the genre. 
In the 1970’s he began to pursue a film and television career, starring in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, Convoy, and A Star Is Born for which he won a Golden Globe award in 1976.He also appeared in Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, the Blade trilogy, and the video game Fallout: New Vegas. His acting career and his ability to move between the music and movie industries gave his artistic legacy a new kind of depth, and gave the person of Kris Kristofferson a new kind of authority on a national and international level.  He wielded that authority well, and was a devoted activist for human rights and Native American causes, often drawing on his experience in the military to keep naysayers “in check” if they chose to attempt to discourage his work speaking up for causes he believes in.
A critic of U.S. foreign policy, he opposed wars in Latin America and the Middle East and was also a staunch defender of Palestinian rights and a vocal opponent of Zionist Apartheid Israel. He defended family farmers;.
Both publicly and privately he was a man of principle, largely avoiding scandal and always taking seriously his role as a mentor to up and coming musicians.Kris was one of the few big stars that stood up for Sinead O'Connor when she brought up the truth about the Catholic Church back in the early 90s When O’Connor appeared on stage at a Bob Dylan tribute concert in New York, she was met with a storm of boos from the crowd. Kristofferson, standing beside her, offered comfort and defiance in equal measure, telling O’Connor, “Don’t let the bastards get you down.” His solidarity was emblematic of his deep commitment to standing by those fighting for justice, no matter how unpopular their cause at the time,  and that forever makes him a real one, 


Kris was inducted into several halls of fame, including the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Country Music Hall of Fame. His last album, The Cedar Creek Sessions, was released in 2016.it earned him a nomination for Best Americana Album at the 2017 Grammy Awards. 
Kris officially retired from performing and recording in 2021, making only occasional guest appearances on stage, including a performance with Johhny Cash's daughter Rosanne at Nelson's 90th birthday celebration at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles in 2023.
Kris Kristoffersson lived a life marked by artistic brilliance, personal courage, and a relentless commitment to human rights.

"Human rights is something that wasn't hard to be inspired to write about because there have been so many violations of those rights' - Kris  Kristoffersson  

His passing marks the end of an era, but his legacy lives on, He once said that when he died, he wanted Leonard Cohen’s like a bird on a wire’s lyrics on his tombstone. How appropriate for both he and Leonard Cohen truly lived like two magnificent birds on this wild wire. RIP. The  world was a better place because of this man. He is survived by his wife Lisa, eight children, and seven grandkids.

"They're killing babies in the name of freedom, We've been down that sorry road before..."

As thousands are murdered across the Middle East by Israel using weapons supplied by his own country, Kris' lyrics  and  words are as relevant as ever.
