    I disagree with you that the entire population of the country are all thoroughly disenchanted. It may be that many are but to assume the way that you feel about this is the way that everyone does is plain wrong.

    Ordinary people have had enough, that’s why so many signed.

    I will bet money that this ‘grass roots’ petition started by some anonymous ‘small business owner’ will have right wing money behind it.  You know what? Ordinary people have been mostly shafted by 14 years of Tory. I guess when the ‘Farmer’ (read Landowner) protest failed to move the dial, this is the next idea.

    It does seem to be a textbox example of astroturf.

    I do like all the right wingers suddenly finding out the disadvantages of FPTP after benefiting from it for years.

    As opposed to the previous incumbents?

    So, under the Tories we lost £1.5b a week, someone should put that on a bus and campaign to give it to the NHS instead.

    It’s really choppy these days to call things out as ‘right wing money’ when your ‘lefty’ government courts big equity and wants to put the suffering back to work.

    Tbf, I don’t think anyone is even pretending that we have a lefty government.

    I once started a petition for Walkers crisps to revert to the ‘proper’ crisp packet colours where salt & vinegar are blue and cheese & onion are green. Anything else is just a sick perversion, no doubt instigated by the opaquely funded ‘Big Crisp’ who probably have links to Keir Starmer. Probably..,

    Anyway… they didn’t do it. There really is only one conclusion you can reach from this. We’re all clearly now living in a Stalinist dictatorship and Starmer is worse than Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao and …. erm… Stalin, all rolled into one

    The people reading the heil do. Which ultimately is the problem of trying to kiss their arses.

    It wont work and will just piss off anyone who doesnt think Hitler is a bit of a leftie.

    Still pretending or just changed their mind?

    When you have to screech at an extreme to defend the current shambles.

    All of this shows that the right wing super rich are bricking themselves. And the media channels whom claim to be ‘of the people’ are in super whine mode that the people are getting pay rises.

    Indeed. Looking at the kind of people that the Starmer government is really pissing off, they’re clearly doing something right

    Also… is anyone else feeling the irony of lots of right wing nutters starting an online petition?

    Online petitions are a bit…. you know…

    Over 1 Million signatures, brilliant!

    “We’ve had enough!”

    Scream the red-faced masses.

    And what they really mean, like every other privileged group, is “we want more“.

    And there’s always a pied piper to lead them on.

    It’s so pathetic, I don’t know whether to laugh or despair!

    Yup,  and not least because the current prime minister has just written a piece for the Mail on Sunday having a go at one of their favourite target – benefit claimants.  Ironic indeed.

    QUICK someone call Binners since we need a tedious meme image about those nasty lefties and Corbyn.

    Oh wait a minute.

    Never mind.

    Well, **** it. A few middle englanders aren’t getting everything they want handed to them on a platter.

    Might as well turf out the first Labour government in 14 years of austerity and give Farage a go.

    It’s what Keir Hardie would have wanted.

    Christ. I agree with daz. Must be the second time this year. I feel feint.

    I was going to come back with a witty riposte, but I’m agreeing with him for once as well. To be fair, I probably agree with him quite a lot of the time, but this time agree with how it was written.

    Whilst I’m disappointed that Starmer has failed to deliver what he promised when he became leader, I’m not sure a Russian bot farmed petition will lead to a better alternative, given the choices available.

    And to be fair, the mainly right wing press has focused on the bad policies rather than the good ones

    Admirable. But it won’t stop the Russian bot farms trying.

    Why would they stop? The UK electorate has shown itself to be unbelievably gullible on several occasions. It doesn’t cost them anything.

    I doubt they are involved here. Its the hard right rags and their friends who are busy trying to influence government policy. That Starmer has popped up on the heil promising to crack down on welfare “cheats” shows Rothermere and friends threats are being noticed.
