[Marcus Chown @marcuschown]

Government gives things we own - water, railways and so on - to their friends

Their friends sell us these things back at inflated prices, making huge profits, which go to tax havens, returning no tax for funding public services such as NHS

Privatisation.

What's not to like?

@makz48897112 @terrychristian Nobody “punished” Britain, you did this to yourselves. You hadn’t even done any preparation; you voted “in principle” & left all the negotiations until afterwards. That’s lazy work, with stupid people parroting pathetic talking points from an awful right wing British press.

[Paul Vick @PaulVick138203]

Who sold off British Steel,British Telecom,British Gas,British Rail,The Royal Mail,Water companies,North sea oil and nearly everything else we owned,it's why people's bills are so high today,when will the Conservatives take responsibility for their doomed privatisations plan.🤔

[As mainstream as mainstream can be @Nillo82948721]

The 3 worst things ever to happen to the UK in its history.

1. Thatcher - privatisation.

2. Cameron and Osborne - austerity.

3. The clown Johnson and his hard Brexit.

There you have it - 3 Tory extirpations and essentially extinctions of UK society - nothing more to be said.

[Gyll King Post Skip Diplomacy @GyllKing]

Thatcher sold the North Sea oil fields & in return we got a broken Britain & 171 billionaires.

Norway kept their much smaller oil fields & today have the biggest sovereign wealth fund in the world $1.4 trillion.

But yeah, it's socialists that run out of other people's money.

@per_incuriam2 @Ricehofen The more that’s revealed the more obvious it seems that @reginalddhunter was targeted. Yet another victim of what is now almost a decade long campaign of smears to defend #ApartheidIsrael It was obvious to many of us that #ItWasAScam Only those wilfully blind won’t see it.

It's so important that people who are new to this understand we've already seen this "crisis of antisemitism on the left" song and dance before; they ran the exact same script a few years ago in the UK to kill the rise of Jeremy Corbyn, who supports Palestinian rights. It's the exact same bad faith concern trolling op where the whole political-media class suddenly starts pretending to believe something that is transparently ridiculous in order to protect an agenda of the empire.

And it's important that everyone understand that every part of this is 100% cynical manipulation. The people pushing this narrative are fully aware that it is false. Everyone knew Jeremy Corbyn was a lifelong anti-racist who didn't have an antisemitic bone in his body. Everyone knew there was no crisis of antisemitism in the Labour Party. But they pretended to believe otherwise because they didn't want to see socialism and anti-imperialism gain a political foothold in the UK. The same thing is happening in the US and throughout the west right now regarding protests against the genocide in Gaza.

So when you see people aggressively rejecting the concern trolls on this issue, that's why. They've seen this schtick before, and they know how politically devastating it can be. They've seen how it can be used to suck all the oxygen away from real discourse about real things and funnel it all into this insanely vapid, idiotic conversation about a problem that exists nowhere outside the imaginations of the people talking about it. It's a deeply evil, disgusting thing to do, especially now in 2024 when it's being done to facilitate an active genocide.

A moderate social democrat, he terrified the establishment.
Was it the Free Broadband, or the renationalising of utilities and transport, or scrapping tuition fees, or a decent living wage, or was it his commitment to recognising the state of 🇵🇸Palestine? I think we know...

[SuzieWong 🌹🍄🌲🌳☀️☔ @SuzieWo20886208]

Jeremy Corbyn will go down in History as the last mainstream politician who actually cared about the people of Britain.
Shunning this man is the most stupid and costly thing the populace have done in modern times.
And untold poverty and misery is just around the corner.
Madness.

[James Foster @JamesEFoster]

More people voted for Labour in 2019 than 2015 & 2010.

Yet everything was Jeremy’s fault, wasn’t it?

And, of course, you played absolutely no part at all in the sabotage of the Labour Party, did you?

In 2017, Jeremy brought Labour the closest to power since the Blair years; nearly 13M votes (40%).

If it wasn’t for internal sabotage, it is entirely possible enough would have been done to get Labour over the line and to form a government.

So stop insulting many many people who “returned home” to Labour & saw the hope of a fairer, better, equal & more decent society.

The only reason Keir Starmer is headed to No.10 is because people are absolutely pissed off with the Tories; he’s got no plan, offers no hope and will betray people in the same way he did Jeremy & “the left”.
