@JoPlattLeigh Socialism is for dossers and morons. A entirely futile ideology where even the most wholly left wing freedom fighter becomes a closeted capitalist once they have a sniff of power. The Labour cabinet have all become very wealthy in recent years.

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@UKLabour Socialism is for dossers and morons. The only people who benefit are the champagne socialists in charge, aka the closeted capitalists

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@MUFC_redarmy99 Socialism is for dossers and morons. The only people who benefit are the champagne socialists aka closeted capitalists

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@UKLabour Here we go! More taxes, more welfare, more immigration, more third world dossers roaming our streets and more British millionaires fleeing this socialist hell. The UK is doomed and will bankrupt within years

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@SkyNews Disgusting

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@DamianLow3 No he didn’t. He came with the sole intention to install his own ideology and not actually to help British people. Weak, woke, snide, champagne socialist whose decisions don’t hurt him as he heads back into those circles

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@JohnSlinger @Keir_Starmer This man appointed the best friend of the worlds worst pedo, tried to cancel elections because he knew they would lose, persecuted retired soldiers, destroyed farmers lives (some to suicide), locked up people for words & tried to hide, stall and silence child rape enquiry

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@LibbyTard17 Because believe it or not Libby they are physically different. Jesus! Throw me a bone someone 😂

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@LibbyTard17 Then you’re a bit strange Libby. This man appointed the best friend of the worlds worst pedo, tried to cancel elections because he knew they would lose, persecuted retired soldiers, destroyed farmers lives (some to suicide), locked up people for words & tried to hide child rape.

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@TomK_Brit1993 Yes. Socialism doesn’t work which is why these freedom fighters soon become closeted capitalists as soon as they are in power. The current cabinet have become very wealthy in the last 2 years. I’m sure they don’t want to share their wealth or live next to a HMO ect. Socialism!

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@AmericaRecharge Yes. All socialists are morons

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@Christians_era Go live in Somalia then you prick. See how that works for you

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@Keir_Starmer Oh shut it. You have turned this country into a third world welfare doss house.

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@AmericaRecharge No. Compared to the woke, champagne socialist morons we have in the UK, he is someone of strength.

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@FacesOfWorldX Protecting pedos, insane welfare and persecution of his own people

[CJToon @CJToonffs]

@AmericaRecharge Not all. The UK is now some weird 3rd world welfare state. A country that can’t celebrate its own history and culture, a country that’s scared to upset anyone other than its own people. A socialist dump
