Still stands up quite well, I think.

Andy Burnham— semblance over substance?

[“The Conservatives brought in the £2 bus fare cap to encourage people back onto public transport following Covid.

I could talk about Somerset and the fact that few areas have what is considered to be a useful bus service, outside of the towns there is very little.

But I know that even in towns and cities bus services are often not helpful, it’s why Son1 who lived in the centre of Manchester asked to take the car up once he started his clinical placements because he couldn’t get to half of them by bus at the times he needed if at all.

If it’s not going to increase bus provision then it’s really not much use.

The original purpose of the £2 bus fare is no longer necessary and whilst the rise in cost when it was raised would have been a noticeable increase to regular users it’s going to benefit a very small number of people for a very large cost.

Those of us in rural areas will still face the continued fuel price rises to get to work and children to school – and for many that is incredibly punitive.“]

Well, as we know, “Smersh Never Sleeps”, and I think that I already have the measure of Burnham.

So far, everything Burnham has announced by way of policy has but one aim— bolstering the Labour vote.

Burnham has apologized for Starmer-stein’s blatant slavery to Israel (and, by implication, the Jewish lobby, though Burnham —a member of Labour Friends of Israel— has not addressed the issue of a Jewish “fifth column” in the UK). Thus some of Labour’s splintering Muslim vote may now not splinter.

Burnham has ranted on about Hillsborough, the football stadium disaster. That was in 1989, no less than 37 years ago! Still, his words may attract support from the less-intelligent sort of Labourite “up North”.

Burnham has scrapped Digital ID. A good move, one which is easy to implement, one which costs nothing and —most important of all— is popular.

Burnham now makes no mention of extending bus services in rural or other areas, but simply caps the fares of existing services. A kind of “look at me; I am doing the right communitarian things“.

Burnham talks about rent controls, thus attracting at least the desperate support of the millions of exploited private tenants in this country. However, no mention of the primary driver of high rents— the migration invasion.

The same across the board: popular noises, but very little substance.

Tweets seen

America, land of freedom. Oh, no, wait…

[“Section 219 is a transfer of power not a merger. Israel intends to rise as the new world superpower.

They will have a world military acting as a police force for global citizens with AI surveillance off every man, woman and child on the planet.

Greater Israel will become a supercontinent reaching across North Africa, the Black Sea into Ukraine and beyond.

This is only just the beginning.“]

There is, however, a solution…

What a horrible tribe they are.

One still sees endless tweets from Jews claiming that there is no Gaza genocide, that the Israeli devastation of Gaza was really not so bad etc. What we are observing is the moral schizophrenia of an entire nation, indeed a global ethnicity— the Jews.

They cannot admit, even when the evidence stares them in the face, that the behaviour of the Israeli Jews has been appalling and, indeed, sub-human, and that the behaviour of the Zionist Jews outside Israel/Palestine —i.e. the vast majority of Jews, perhaps as high as 96%— has been at best moral blindness, hypocrisy and, at worst, complicity in terrible and continuing crimes against humanity.

From the horse’s mouth, nicht wahr?

Everything we have been brought up to believe in— law, fairness, “democracy” etc, is a facade. As soon as a serious alternative exists, the masks drop, and we see this society for what it is, and also see the (((evil))) behind much of it.
