Keir Starmer getting a roasting on X

He's posted:

As the holy month of Ramadan ends, I wish Muslims in the UK and across the world a blessed and joyful Eid-al-Fitr. Eid Mubarak!

Nothing wrong there, and a sentiment I certainly share. He has however failed to acknowledge that today is also Mother's Day and it is also still Lent. He's getting such a lot of stick. I have to say it is a shocking lack of inclusivity.

Mother’s Day 2024 was 10 March. As was beginning of Ramadan. The post from UKPrime Minister and Rishi Sunak

Away with you @RobinStrike, you're ruining the racist frothers' fun with your facts and evidence and stuff.

And on Mothers day. MOTHERS DAY!

It’s the PM’s username. I doubt very much he even knows what goes out in his name. He will have PR people who tweet for him. Occasionally there will be one that he genuinely writes himself, but it’s just like the royals. They don’t write 90% of what goes out in their name. Or other famous people.
I do think that his office should have done both, but generally they have an eye for the voters so it’s Eid today and Easter when it comes. Mother’s Day isn’t seen as having enough importance.

Eid is of literally no relevance whatsoever to 94% of the UK population.

This obsession with religion in a secular country is tedious.

WanderInMyTime · 30/03/2025 17:45

Anyone who got upset about this shouldn't be allowed to vote, breed or use anything sharp.

So he shouldn’t post about Easter either? Or is that one okay. Is it better if he calls it Chocolate Egg day?

I’d be happy not to hear any religion mentioned ever again.

ThisPinkBee · 30/03/2025 18:46

He posted a pic of his mum on LinkedIn. Thought it was an odd choice of platform.

Not mocking it all. We take celebrating the arrival so Spring with Chocolate Eggs very seriously.

Of course you do 🙄

Twitter is a sewer.

It really is, I'm sure the PM is on it because he's across all social media , but it's a total cesspit

TooBigForMyBoots · 30/03/2025 21:15

You've go to hand it to Musk, he's curated a bunch of internet fuckwits and trained them well. Like Pavlov did with his dogs.

@BeckyBismuth I think a better title for this thread is: Elon's X Monkeys Jump.😂😂😂

Starmer posted a Mothering Sunday wish all over Social Media. The lies on here are sickening.

JohnTheRevelator · 31/03/2025 22:15

No less than I expected from him. And I say that as someone who has always voted Labour. But after the way this government has behaved since they've been in power,I won't be voting for them next time.

Leafstamp · 31/03/2025 22:23

He’s now also getting a roasting about suggesting Adolescence being shown in schools.

Rightly so.

Where? I didn't see it on Twitter/X. Just the Eid greeting.

I'm not sure what's difficult to understand. I'm saying that they are knuckle-dragging halfwits.

There was a whole raft of "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY" comments under Lloyds Banks Eid post. They had posted about mothers day 6 hours prior, a post which had 0 comments.

I replied to someone and asked why they hadn't commented on the mothers day post. And she said "I Just wanted to wish them Happy Mothers Day." No you didn't. No one in the history of time has wanted to wish their bank happy mothers day 🙄

Someone else posted "look forward to seeing your post about St Georges day", a quick search back shows they post for St George's day every year....and no one replies!

People just want to be outraged

Is there a thread on how Starmer is not being inclusive because he did not mention Eid on Instagram?
There seem to be at least two on the Twitter saga.

If anyone is upset by this, I suggest they follow the PM on all social media and not just Twitter to get the full PM experience.

Of course not. All the Muslims were too busy having a lovely Eid with their family and friends.

Those upset and outraged are professionally offended snowflakes who follow where Musk leads. The sad thing is they consider themselves free thinkers when they're actually Pavlov's dogs.
