#LabourFake – propaganda op falls flat as existence of new members is questioned
Keir Starmer: yes… yet another own goal.
Well, it has been truly said that the secret of good comedy is timing.
Only on Saturday night (February 19-20) I found myself watching an episode of Dave Gorman’s Modern Life is Goodish in which the star of the show discusses the shady practice of buying Twitter followers, and how you can tell them apart from real people.
Then on Sunday (February 20 – today, as I type this), I discover that suddenly the Labour Party has sprouted a throng of new members who don’t appear ever to have existed before – many of whom have very few followers of their own, which is a dead giveaway, really.
Coming across quite a few people today tweeting about how they've joined/rejoined Labour and are so darned happy about it. Many of them with about 9 followers.
Kiethy did a PsyOps.
Bless.

And all this after “Kiethy” was accused of having bought Twitter followers of his own. Around a third of his followers aren’t real people, it seems – possibly more by now, because people who have followed him in good faith may have turned away in disgust.
Amid the scepticism, there’s been plenty of opportunity for humour – of the gallows variety, admittedly. Some of us have been taking great joy in mocking the possibility that Keir Starmer’s new (and horrifying!) Labour policies would attract people with genuine (read: traditional) Labour values:
I was tempted by the shoot first policy, but they are still too soft on orphans… These are a drain on our economy and should either be shot or put to work.
I asked @AngelaRayner and she seemed to agree, so expect some better policies to be announced soon.— Brian Hunter (@_Brian_Hunter) February 20, 2022
Once again, Starmer and his right-wing halfwitted cabal have made themselves – and the Labour Party they infest like parasites – look daft.
In their case it is an apt description. But the vast majority of Labour Party members deserve much, much better than this. Sadly, Starmer has changed party rules to ensure that they cannot demand it. The best they can do is leave (and there are far better organisations to join).
Was anybody actually stupid enough to believe this silly propaganda fail?

The Labour party are not the only ones behaving in a dishonest & underhand manner . The GMB trade union are just as dishonest . I have been in dispute with them since 2016 – then gen/sec Roache, refused to in investigate, even after my MP wrote to him on my behalf. Last year , because they could not silence me – they expelled me. The very officials who I complained against on multiple occasions from 2017 ,complained against me & they were supported by their fellow C.E.C members ( Kangaroo court ). Gen/sec, Smith & Nat/pres, Plant, were aware of events, & hid in their, respective offices, refusing to intervene.
When I first posted my story on the Trustpilot GMB union site in 2017, there were only 30 reviews , most 0ne star ( bad) , but after I posted , the union bombarded the site with five star reviews. I then attacked them on this site , posting new reviews every month or so , this usually being followed by a spate of five star reviews, one was from a retired police officer & personal friend of Tim Roache , they were blatantly trying to manipulate the trustpilot ratings.
If you wish to evidence of just how corrupt they truly are – please check out the Trustpilot site.
read all reviews & click on my name, also go to the prole star, gmb story from 2017. Small wonder, that they are losing so many members & are now having to close offices.
Starmer is a weak and manipulated unprincipled empty vessel being filled with whatever his autobots tell him to say and now so too is his deputy – both of them are Stepford MPs as too are almost all the shadow cabinet.
I am sorry to say that at ‘least’ BJ we know acts always in his OWN corrupt interests. Who knows who Starmer is acting for in his corrupt and secretive endeavours. Makes me wonder who is the most Trumpist between Boozo and Keith but either way, I am no longer disposed to giving Labour my vote after 50 years.
Obviously it will never be a Tory or LibDem but one can only hope that some inspired change can happen to the political landscape before the next GE to enable me to vote for a better alternative to the 3 neo-liberalist main parties in England where i vote.
Look up People’s Alliance of the Left.
