Starmer’s ‘beauty of work’ was a nazi propaganda slogan

quote:

During his conference speech today – summarised by one wag as ‘spend 17 years getting ready for work and learning to follow the rules, then the rest of your life working and following the rules’ – Kei Starmer quoted ‘the beauty of work’ as a driving force for what passes for his ‘vision’s the UK.

Starmer attributed his idea to Auden – but in fact the ‘beauty of work’, ‘Schönheit der Arbeit’, was the slogan of a propaganda department of the nazi regime from 1934 to 1945

Insulate Britain is definitely an op. The fact that the group is getting so much media coverage speaks volumes. Only groups where the government have a vested interest ever get media coverage like this, and they are normally controlled opposition groups from the offset. That, and the fact that they are pissing off so many people and giving Patel the excuse to implement more draconian laws.... yup....

The idiots doing the actual protesting are probably just gullible idiots, but the people organising them aren't.

if a person who doesn't get harmed by covid transmits to another person who is not harmed, and those who could be harmed are vaccinated, what's the issue?

And who else do those infected people come into contact with and infect? How many shop workers, transport workers or random passers by do they infect, and those new people infected, who do they then infect and carry on the chain? How many of those might be vulnerable, or have friends or relatives that they come into contact with who are vulnerable?....

Those are now acceptable numbers, even for some in this thread now... apparently... and sadly... :(

Yes, I am happy for 100 old boomers to die of covid after they refused vaccines rather than put a stop on normal life so they can live long enough to toddle over the to ballot box and vote for Boris one last time.

A double vaccinated friend of mine died of covid not so long ago. He was 4 years younger than me.

I'm just going to stop debating with them, but thank you all for confirming what a selfish shithead they are.

I'm glad it wasn't just me, but at least it highlights the very important point of how many selfish shitheads there are in the UK.

I know I mentioned it on the Discord (rip) a few times in the past, but I'm not sure I mentioned in here.

My upstairs, mostly blind 90+ year old neighbour voted for Brexit, because in her own words "I'm fed up trying to understand all those funny foreign accents. I'd rather be seen by British doctors and nurses."

That guy again? Who's publishing his letters more than once a week (or indeed, more than once)?

A quick google suggests he's a frequent letter writer to the Express letter pages.

I steal the screenshots from a group on FB that takes the piss out of people like him, called 'Pointless Letters'.

This just popped up on my radar, and I haven't been able to find anything on Twitter about it yet.

Firefighters 'pulling people out of woods and spraying them' at Sheffield Park Hill flats incident

quote:

Firefighters are spraying people down at the scene of a major incident at Park Hill Flats in Sheffield, say eyewitnesses.

Eyewitnesses say there are now around 20 emergency vehicles and the police cordon has been extended, with firefighters having now arrived on the scene.

Police and the air ambulance arrived at the flats earlier this evening. They are thought to have treated a casualty near the flats building.

Since then, it is understood men appeared to have been removed from woods near the flats, and told to strip down to their underwear and sprayed by the firefighters with an unknown liquid.

It is reported a blue tarpaulin has been placed on the road, and firefighters are wearing high visibility clothing.

The people who have been sprayed have then been given ‘orange ponchos’ to wear, said the eyewitness.

e:

It sounds like it might be a Breaking Bad incident...

It's just been reported that the people who were stripping off and being hosed down were emergency response workers.
