^^^ torygraph's own editorial includes gems like 'not all those opposed to giving full-throated backing to everything Israel does are evil - some of them are merely stupid, or cowardly', and concludes with a thinly-veiled exhortation to the cops to cave some skulls in at demonstrations this weekend, to show that britain stands on the side of righteousness https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2023/10/13/britain-must-stay-firm-in-its-support-for-israel/  might just be me looking back rose-tinted glasses, but the last few days have felt more deranged even than the post-9/11 aftermath Apraxin fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Oct 14, 2023 |

However, several senior Tories have also spoken out against it and are warning that it could inflame tensions between Jewish and Muslim communities already heightened by war in the Middle East. no 10: this will cause some internal division within labor and potentially increase our chances of holding on to power by a fraction of a percent

i think a part of it is that whatever they actually were and what they actually did in power, when in opposition the blairites did a good job of presenting themselves as a transformative, progressive force that would, well, make things better. a brighter world, full of new possibilities etc. in contrast, here's starmer and co.: labour 1997: things can only get better labour 2023: it is wrong to offer hope
