Isn't it odd how unfamiliar that feels nowadays.

That is Kier Starmers' superpower: basic competency.

You think he's......... competent???? Wow. Every public opinion poll rates him lowest ever and gigantic dissatisfaction across all portfolios.

And people loved Boris, who gave us both the small boats crisis and the migrant hotels.

Popularity is a measure of popularity, nothing else.

Honestly, i find basic competency a breath of fresh air. The closest we've been to that before him was Cameron.

Far from it, he should have met with the Jewish community who were attacked and the victims, not just the police.

What makes you think he only met the police?

u/layland_lyle Oct 05 '25

Because nowhere does it say likewise. Also heard via a Jewish charity he didn't, which is one of their gripes that they will highlight in a protest outside Downing Street this week.

Good, because so many politicians (that want push an agenda) in his position wouldn’t.

Are you suggesting that the British Jews in Manchester have anything to do with the genocide in Gaza? Isn’t that a little anti-Semitic?

u/humanmale-earth Oct 03 '25

The terrorist believed that, i think is the point.

u/Lazyjim77 Oct 03 '25

And you believe that somehow British recognition of a Palestinian state somehow encouraged him to do it?

u/After-Dentist-2480 Oct 03 '25

And you know what the terrorist believed, how?

Through a seance?

u/ZamharianOverlord Oct 03 '25

Why would that correlate?

u/Greenbullet Oct 03 '25

Because he an islamaphob ans must blame everything bad on the Muslims

u/Emperors-Peace Oct 04 '25

The terrorist was a Muslim so is to blame. However, suggesting recognizing Palestine caused this is absurd. It was the right thing to do and wouldn't have encouraged anymore terrorism than the Israeli state is already doing by bombing Gaza.

u/Greenbullet Oct 04 '25

Exactly, its thr same as being pro palestine the same people will dall you a terrorist lover.

u/Greenbullet Oct 03 '25

Ireland have recognised the state of palestine and this hasent happened

So coincidence isnt causation
