‘What about Israeli terrorists?’ — Burnham ‘ratioed’ for supporting IRGC ban



Burnham

Incoming PM Andy Burnham claimed he would bring “the biggest change in our lifetimes”. But instead he is bringing Starmeroid ‘business as usual’. Burnham shows no sign of undoing any of Starmer’s police-state measures intended to protect Israel, and in fact indicates he will take them further. And he has praised Starmer’s attack on free speech about the illegal US-Israel war on Iran. As his first use of his rushed-through law, Starmer has ‘designated‘ Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) — Burnham thinks this is great.

Starmer’s new ‘National Security (State Threats) Act’ is an extension of supposed ‘anti-terror’ legislation, clearly designed to suppress reporting and discussion of news the UK government dislikes. Anyone who even uses information from a ‘designated’ organisation faces up to fourteen years in prison. There is no exemption for journalism.

Shamefully, Burnham approves – but his support for the ban was quickly ‘ratioed’, a sign of a deeply unpopular comment:

‘What about the real terrorists’ Burnham?

The more than 1,200 replies to Burnham’s endorsement of authoritarianism overwhelmingly pointed to one theme. If the IRGC should be banned, why isn’t the Israeli military — which actually murders people, not just threatens — also banned?

Like Declassified UKs John McEvoy:

Military veteran and anti-genocide activist ‘JonnyUtd’ considers Burnham just another hypocrite:

‘The Reckoning’ pointed to Burnham’s early indications that he will be ‘more of the same’ as Starmer:

So did ‘Her Royal Heinous’:

Michael Burn made the same point:

Donahue Rogers pointed out that Burnham himself did a lot more than ‘support’ a terrorist proxy. He was a member:

Andy Peacock pointed to the ‘coincidence’ that the first group banned is the very same one Israel has been demanding:

While Notabot pointed to the thousands of UK citizens who went to participate in the IOF’s Gaza slaughter have been welcomed back ‘carte blanche’:

So did ‘Just an Observer’:

And Voblat exposed the real purpose of Starmer’s law – one that his regime has barely even bothered to try to conceal:

Many hundreds more feel the same. Burnham’s ‘honeymoon period’ hasn’t even lasted until he gets into Downing Street. Deservedly so.
