TORIES OUT, YES - BUT BEWARE LABOUR UNDER STARMER - MORAL BANKRUPTCY IS TO BE FOUND THERE TOO

 Around ten million British citizens voted for the Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn in the General Election in December 2019. Millions of us still believe that the phenomenon of JC was the best idea since sliced bread - it was so exciting to have a socialist voice at the centre of British politics and we yearn for a party that can carry those ideals forward. I know of at least one former Labour party member who, like me, resigned before he was expelled and has now joined the Green Party. My preference is for a Socialist Party, by name. The sickening determination of Starmer to crush the spirit of socialism within the present Labour Party should send the warning bells ringing furiously. 


David Rosenberg is a London radical, the author of Rebel Footprints - a Guide to Uncovering London's Radical History (2015) - and the author of Rebel Notes, his own blog post medium that offers powerful insights into historical and contemporary anti-Semitism. I read David's latest offering this morning and wanted to share the facts he reveals. Truth is precious and the mainstream media are selective about what truths they willing convey.

Here, then, is David's truth - and mine - and millions of others:


   

The murderous antisemitic hate that Starmer’s Labour has not dealt with

  • The Guardian newspaper which enthusiastically promoted the narrative of a “crisis of antisemitism” during the period when Jeremy Corbyn was leader, found itself in a bit of trouble a few days back for daring to suggest that criticisms of Corbyn’s long record of anti-racism were unjustified. Cue a batch of furious letters from the (not so) great and (not so) good. They have since published two very calm responses to those furious letters.

  • Sadly, they didn’t publish mine. Perhaps because it contained a very discomfiting revelation of how Starmer-led Labour utterly failed to deal with a very serious case of antisemitism within the party. This revelation ought to be

TAX JUSTICE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

Tax Justice UK is a campaigning and advocacy organization. They want to ensure that everyone in the UK benefits from a fair and effective tax system. They are a not-for-profit body and present themselves as politically non-aligned. 

I am sharing a couple of their most recent newsletters with you because it seems to me important to do so - but I am not politically neutral. The Tory obsession with keeping taxes low and reducing the size of the state has led us - after thirteen years - to the dire straits in which we are now floundering; our society ever more unequal; a land of strikes, poverty, and misgovernment.

Dear Rob,

 

The super rich just keep getting richer. And calls for wealth taxes are growing louder.

Since the start of the Covid pandemic, the world’s richest 1% have increased their wealth by

TORY GOVERNMENT MALFEASANCE IN 2020 - GET YOUR COPY OF THIS DAMNING REPORT FOR A TENNER

 As you no doubt know there is now an official inquiry into the pandemic which swept across our country in 2020 and then continued to take its toll in deaths and sickness right up to the present day. COVID-19 has not gone away; nor will it any time soon. 

Will this inquiry establish the truth about what happened? I very much doubt it. Too many vested interests will prevent that outcome. If you do want to know the sequence of events that unfolded during 2020, there is a publication already available, written by someone who had his finger on the pulse of events as they unfolded at the time. I am of course referring to that well-known, academic doctor, Rob Donovan, whose literary exposure of Tory government malfeasance was published a year ago in February 2022 under the title: Dying to Know - Running though a Pandemic.  



The views on the author's run are stunning - and included in the book


Despite the excellent reviews received - press this link here to read some of them - his book has been difficult to market successfully. He tells me that 184 copies are still in the publisher's warehouse; there were 300 copies in the original print run. Amazon had only one copy left when he last looked, but Waterstone's had more than ten copies in their stock. Amazon may be marginally cheaper than

HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS ABOUT KRAKEN?

 'Kraken? What's Kraken? I've never heard of Kraken.'

If you haven't yet, you will.


Coronavirus variant XBB.1.5, otherwise known as Kraken


Tuesday's 'i' newspaper carried this headline on p.13:


"COVID CASES RISE BY 50% AS KRAKEN SWEEPS BRITAIN"


I am grateful for small mercies. No other media has touched the story, to my knowledge, apart from the Daily Express, yesterday. Channel 4 News has not run with this breaking news item yet. The north American media is full of the news, however. This variant of SARS.CoV.2 had its origin in the United States of America. As the 'i' report states:

"If it follows the same trajectory as in the US, its share will jump from around 11 per cent of new infections (January 16) to around 40 per cent by Sunday (February 5)." 

Eleven days ago, daily cases of Covid had fallen below 100,000 for the first time in more than a year to stand at
