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

[IwantToRetire]

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/

UtopiaPlanitia and ScrollingLeaves, this was this morning's Politico:

Thank you very much, and for the many informative links you often share.

They really have no clue any more. Totally and utterly not understanding what mere mortals/peasants want.

Honestly, political parties these days are all like the Borg. Is debate, dissent or difference in opinion gone from public life entirely?! I hate tribal politics (we get a lot of it in NI) and I just hate the way that in recent years Cabinet Members, and MPs who want to get ahead, are ride or die for ‘their guy’ at any cost.

Lack of diverse thought/opinion is hampering lots of aspects of public life.

No problem Scrolling and Utopia. This new direction of attack ads is genuinely interesting, I think. And I agree about the need for debate within the parties themselves.

Yeah fair point, they've certainly both got their mavericks. Cameron couldn't control his Eurosceptic wing and we all know how that ended. But I think there's a difference.

The Labour party mavericks, from my own experience as a member, weren't really that bothered about winning elections. They worked very hard - can't fault them on that - but their goals were slightly different. They had no illusions that Corbyn would ever win a general election but they would point to a surge in membership numbers and for them, it seemed to be about 'getting their party back' and establishing a stronger base at grassroots level. I think they saw it as a step on the march towards their Utopia. I don't mean that sarcastically, I liked some of them a lot, they were good people but totally committed to their own cause - that's what I mean by ungovernable. Oh and they absolutely hated it when Labour was actually in power.

I've no experience of the Conservative party but, for all their differences they seem, at least from where I'm sitting, to have much more or a winning mentality. Even their mavericks want to win elections and expect to win elections and they'll pull together to make that happen in a way that I can't imagine Labour ever doing.

Glad you learned something Flo.

What about you Boots, have you learned anything?
