![Starter pack for [International] Grumpy Old Lefty Gits. NHS & M4A (free healthcare for ALL!) Feed the Poor! / Eat the Rich!
We're GRUMPY because political parties which SHOULD be fighting for us have betrayed us. (Also: my teeth hurt!) We're Old because we're old. We're Lefties because to be anything else would make us vomit.
(Starmer and Biden/Harris admirers: Go soak your heads! You are NOT Leftists! Zionists and arseholes who - during a Dem-backed GENOCIDE - said "Trump would have been even worse!" or even "Enjoy the camps!": FUCK OFF! "The lesser of two evils" is... [checks notes]... STILL EVIL!
"NEVER again!" applies to EVERYONE!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4jmt42zmpu4lclvy5ccgofah/bafkreifiosyz6vdoxf7j4l7pjbsp7vuy77sjbufikclgum7rp5jd25qr7i@jpeg)
Do NOT follow me if you're an admirer of Starmer, von der Leyen, Scholz, Biden, and/or Harris. They all support a GENOCIDAL Israel... and ALL helped pave the way for Trump 2.0
If you say "At least they're not as bad as Tories!", " #BlueCrew", or "Blue Wave"... FUCK OFF! You're part of the problem.

We're pretending the BBC is left wing so Trump can coup it like a Latin American country
In the biggest national scandal of recent days, the BBC accidentally veered from its usual practice of smearing the left and slightly misrepresented someone on the right.

I think this is patently untrue. If you asked anyone who knew something about politics, as opposed to someone uninformed, they’d say Channel 4 News, the Guardian and the Independent were the most trusted sources. I literally know no one who watches the BBC news.

I suspect that the OP is going to block many of us who pointed out that praising a war criminal / mass murderer out of politeness or sympathy for his familyis NOT how a decent person acts... and that the "values" that Biden & Cheney shared should be abhorrent to anyone with a gram of humanity.

A recent Asda TV commercial represents it’s customers as ‘The Grinch’
This character despises Christmas… until it learns about the true meaning of the holidays
But according to Asda, the true meaning of Xmas…
…is to spend money you haven’t got to keep your kids and the actual supermarket happy!

* The Spanish version omits the talk at the end by one of the filmmakers about why they made the video.
But my reason is that the Spanish version inexplicably cuts out the elderly woman, and her answer to the question ("If you could change ONE thing about your body, what would it be?") is SO good!💜

Any Labour *MP* who remained/remains loyal to Keir Starmer's gov't (even if not to him personally) after the 2-child cap, winter-fuel debacle, continuing support for GENOCIDE, sucking up to Trump, mass arrests of OAPs for *holding signs*, and the totalitarian purge of leftists should NOT be allowed👇
to be Green MPs, no. If they defect now, it'll be a case of rats leaving a sinking ship, and their motives for defecting will be to be first-in-line to defend "their" seat (and their privilege) as "Greens" in the next General Election.
If they didn't say a LOUD "NO!" to genocide, etc., fuck them!

Labour & Lib Dem voters need to face up to the fact that the BEST way to stop Reform UK will now be to vote Green.

They're now 3 points ahead of Labour - who are fourth.

Of course, it's not libel if it's true, but it costs money to prove it. Can u help?
