Jeez, I didn't watch it. What it reminded me of principally was those weird christo-fash things with Knights Templar and Cross of St George and spitfires all over them that started appearing a couple of years ago.
Pat McFadden's got an office in Tufton Street I reckon. That's the only explanation. Surely Keith would have had to sign off on it??? Does he see himself as a jacked up lion of justice or something? The more I think about it, the more terrifying it is.
- Oh come on! WTAF is this? Is it for real? Past time the sensible Celtic nations abandoned England to its fate. This kind of thing is dreadful and it carries with it so many authoritarian messages. I want nothing to do with this kind of stuff. England, you're a lost cause and you're dead to me!
Yes, you're right. I skipped though it rather than upsetting myself watching the whole thing but it's dreadful. Turns my stomach. Worst thing is that I can see the kind of hard right numbskulls that the makers might have thought they were appealing to. I can't imagine who ever signed off on the thing.
I notice it's posted by UKLabour rather than by a government acvount name. Hopefully this means it was just Labour donators money they wasted on it rather than taking it from the government budget.
The one thing they're knocking it out of the park at is developing extraordinary ways to fuck things up. Didn't he just give a "it's not a reset" reset speech like, yesterday?? Couldn't happen to a nicer fella. If only he wasn't running the fucking country with a megalomaniac billionaire and his monkey just about to take control of the nuclear codes.
That bull is the epitome of ‘bullshit’ in AI form. Has a single affordable or rent controlled home been built yet, never mind in an area that really needs them?
That's a good point actually. Why choose a bull (that you wouldn't want building a house anyway) to push policy? It's just asking for trouble. Someone else who replied made an interesting observation too - does Keith think he's Richard the Lionheart???
I can't for the life of me understand how they've made these animal choices. WTF has a hedgehog got to do with wind farms? And a bull is the very last creature you'd want building a house.
This is real? Like...it's not a thing someone did to make fun of Labour? Cause this is insane. Even discounting the sheer amount of environmental damage of making and editing this terribly rendered AI nonsense, what the actual fuck is the message they're trying to send?
And Starmer as a lion? Are you f'ing kidding? Richard the Lionheart he is not. Good lord, he's a milquetoast plutocrat with the moral ethics of a Tory.
Christ, I hadn't even made the Richard the Lionheart connection but that sounds so on the nose for something Starmer would think. And it's actually worse than you thought.
Unbelievable. Honest to god, the Right wing of the world has been infected with a mind virus that causes hate, dear leader worship and fascism...and the Left, I swear to Bob, have been infected with one that makes them foolish gadabouts who flit about but never actually do anything to stand up to the fascism. But they still want a gold star sticker for being a good boy and turning up every day.
I think you're misconstruing the cynical belief that they don't need to be competent because it's "their turn in government" as foolish gadaboutery, but otherwise yes.
I only came across it on the Graun's politics blog. You're not the only person who thought that, I'm sure. Even the most generous or most cynical take can't begin to explain what the hell they were thinking.
It's much worse than cringe, although Keith as a lion is wince-inducing. Elements of christo-nationalism, and the lyrics are overtly and violently misogynist.
Sheesh, I didn't even notice that. I was wondering whether it was supposed to be Cooper (based on Lenny the Lion being Keith, I'm not being backhandedly misogynist).

Either way, it's a perfect example of how desperately out of touch Starmer is.
