Said it before…but #Starmer’s support for #Israel while allowing #genocide to be perpetrated in #Gaza and crushing non-violent dissent at home is the equivalent of #Blair’s Iraq War. But it will be far worse this time for #Labour.
My generation protested in their thousands on the streets of London against Blair…but that was back when non-violent protest was never considered a crime, let alone terrorism.
My generation didn’t vote Labour again for a very long time…many still don’t.
So tonight’s bedtime story did end up being about the bitterly cold day my kid’s parents joined their friends and a million other people on the streets of London to protest against Blair taking the country to war with Iraq based on a dodgy dossier or unpublished PhD thesis complete with spelling mistakes…this was followed up by questions about every protest we’d attended since and why were people getting arrested now for peacefully protesting, when they didn’t at protests in the past?
