Who are we fighting?

Oh!!
Is that Starmer on Gladiators?

Most patronising message ever has to be "New Labour New Danger" with a doctored photo of Tony Blair with demonic red eyes.
While ago now.

Whoever the invisible forces are he intends to fight on behalf of the nation, I hope he's considered the fact that our armed forces are very depleted.

They're all just meaningless soundbites.

I thought better of Starmer than to fall into that trap.

AGAA4

At least Starmer hasn't said he will make Britain great again. Not yet anyway.

😁

So far it seems to be pensioners, farmers and parents of private school pupils.
Oh, and a black hole.

Who next, I wonder?

Yes! I think you've nailed it Monica

M0nica

These days anything any politician anywhere says something, is all smoke and mirrors and is totally meaningless.

Their every casual remark has been pored over by political aides in the press office for months, to make sure it promises nothing, commits them to nothing and is total anodyne.

You're so right M0nica but they must feel they have to do it, are probably told to by the PR people.
I think British politics has become such a sad, conflict-bound arena, no one listens to anyone else anymore, debate has vanished, it's all about scoring cheap points.

Not yet anyway there's still time AGAA4

A good explanation of why they say what they do M0nica .

Do you remember the staggeringly meaningless rubbish trotted out during the Covid 19 lockdowns?

For example "Stay home, protect the NHS, save lives."

Protecting the NHS seemed to involve banging saucepans outside your front door every Thursday evening .

I just take it as a phase they use meaning "concentrating energy/resources on issue X or Y" Has been for years I guess.

Plain common sense?". ...well......

In politics, it often appears to mean the POV of the politician makes "common sense" to themselves and their supporters, and they can all go round claiming "common sense"?
