Brexit - we need a general election

However many millions of Remainers hit the streets for ‘people’s vote’ marches, and sign online petitions, it won’t change the fact that the UK is deeply divided, between north and south, city and rural, old and young, middle class and working class.

Personally, I would’ve preferred Remain (+transform) to Brexit, but I think a second referendum could be disastrous - whatever the result. Firstly, it will be another horribly hateful and divisive month or so of campaigning. Then, if Remain wins, Leavers will (kinda justifiably) feel even more fucked over than they already did following decades of neoliberalism. This thing we call democracy will have been massively undermined and right-wing populism will grow, with a Tory government still in power for another three years doing nothing to stop it.

If Leave wins, we get May’s deal. Her deal is bad for the left - it will make it harder to implement socialistic policies in the future, which is essential for addressing the root cause of the anger and desperation in society (neoliberalism).

Labour’s approach of calling for a general election and then going for a different kind of Brexit under a Labour government, seems the most sensible way forward to me. (And I’m not just saying that because I’m a Corbyn supporter!). That’s what Corbyn and Keir Starmer have been getting on with - EU officials have clearly indicated to them that they are open to their kind of deal.

Maybe if all the energy currently put into bringing about a second referendum was put into calling for a general election, there’d be a chance of making it happen somehow?

Mueller investigation ends

The ‘Russiagate’ investigation draws to a close. As any informed person with half a brain could have predicted years ago, no one has been charged with ‘colluding with Russia’.

This fucking stupid conspiracy theory has been widespread across all MSM for over two years. Literally can’t turn on the TV in the US without hearing ‘Russia’ within 10 seconds. And these assholes preach about fake news!!

They should be ashamed and fired. But they won’t be, cos corporate media is not and never has been interested in reality - they are interested in profit, and Russiagate has been great for ratings. Who cares that millions of starving Yemeni children have been ignored as a result? Who cares that it’s fueled a new Cold War between nuclear powers? Who cares that it's massively boosted Trump's chances in the 2020 elections, as he will now be vindicated to an extent in his criticisms of the media 'witch hunt'?

There’s loads of great alt-media online now that is focussed on truth rather than profit and that doesn’t do the bidding of the elite. Seek it out! Before it all gets suppressed as ‘fake news’...

'Bad Jews' targeted - history repeating

Here is a list of Jewish, anti-Israel/non-Zionist leftists, who have recently been smeared as anti-Semites.

The ‘wrong kind of Jews’, or ‘bad Jews’, as Zionist, right-wing Winston Churchill would say.

What is happening in Labour is not a campaign against anti-Semitism. It is a campaign against those who support socialism and Palestinian freedom.

The weaponisation of anti-Semitism is sickening, and... anti-Semitic.
