Starmer insults women’s intelligence to blame Sunak for judicial failures when it was Starmer’s CPS that failed to prosecute rapists

I am so fed up with politicians and their seedy bully boy tactics.

So Starmer having failed to get personal approval from voters who rate Sunak higher than him, doesn't think maybe I should try harder to be more relevant to voters.

No he decides to roll in the gutter and use personal attacks. https://www.jackfm.co.uk/news/politics/labour-takes-inspiration-from-australia-with-sunak-attack-ads-but-they-need-more-to-pull-off-a-proper-ousting/

I'm not saying the Tories are blameless, but lets face it, it was/is the CPS who continued/s to fail to prosecute rapists even when the police present evidence, because the CPS only want to take on sure fire winning court cases to up their stats.

So not only has Labour tried to make out Sunak (who became as MP the same year as Starmer) personally doesn't want child abusers to go to prison, but now has plagerised women campaign's slogan about how rape has been decriminalised. https://rapecrisis.org.uk/get-informed/the-decriminalisation-of-rape/

And yet Labour still doesn't know what a woman is, nor have they re-admitted women expelled from Labour for saying women are biological females. But think our tiny emotional brains will be overwhelmed by their crass statements about women's issues.

Labour seem to think that because this sort of politcal sloganeering used by the vote leave party were sucessful during the Brexit campaign, that this is how they will win the next election.

Which is worse? That our politicians think voters are such dimwits. Or that they might be right. https://labourlist.org/2023/04/labour-attack-ad-rishi-sunak-crime-twitter-controversial-advert/

This has to be the wrong approach.

Labour’s problem surely, is not that the Tories are popular, but that people don’t know what they stand for. If they can’t gather together some policies that appeal, the risk is that people will decide on “the devil they know”. Especially if Rishi starts delivering some good news on the economy.

The attack around sex offenders is particularly weird. Rishi knows what a woman is. His government are slowly trying to roll back some of the major safeguarding concerns around the use of gender rather than sex. It is Labour that have got this wrong and who are putting our children and young people (and vulnerable women) at risk.

I think as well if you're attacking this far out from a general election its a bad strategy like are they planning on doing this constantly until the next election because you water down your attack if you are. Its like they're giving away their election strategy early

As well I think it might if anything engender sympathy towards Rishi and also questions about what are Labour going to do to solve this when they get in power? Are Labour going to be tougher on sex offenders?

how after Sir Keir Starmer went to 21 meetings of the Sentencing Council, it decided not all child sex offenders should go to prison

Maybe this should have been the title of this thread.

The sheer hypocrasy of the man.

And to play cheap sloganeering with the very real and groteque crime of child abuse.

Starmer at meetings that said some sex offenders shouldn't be jailed

GUY ADAMS: On April 8, 2011, Keir Starmer joined some of Britain's top legal eagles at a monthly meeting of the Sentencing Council.

I've been trying to remember the name, but there is a well known Australian political media campaigner who helped run the Boris(?) campaign, and he introduced these tactics.

And unfortunately they seem to work. ie most people just read the slogan. £££££££££££s to the NHS on the side of a bus etc..

Its hard enough to get the media to talk about women's issues and rights as it is, now they are all getting caught up not just in the sloganeering, but in talking about running the slogans.

Is this going to be how the results of the next GE are settled.

The attack ads remind me of the worst aspects of American politics. I don't know why Labour have decided its what UK politics needs. I don't get as well trying to frame it like Labour will be a tough on crime party.

It would be really simple for someone to make a similar one with "Keir Starmer doesn't know what a woman is"
