Because it so often comes here next, that's why. Bad political ideas get batted back-and-forth across the Atlantic. Why do you think Reagan and Thatcher worked almost in tandem? Or Nixon's purely political "War on Drugs" became our own, etc. It's been this way for more than 70 years. Some of us don't forget the lessons of history, and some of us warned about Starmer too.

Ah yes, the "moderate" Blair who helped kill up to a million innocent people in an illegal war to open up a foreign country's oil reserves to Western markets. The guy Thatcher called her "greatest achievement".
