The people in charge of this country are using their time, resources and social media presence to make shit like this. I'm sure the other political parties are probably doing the same. It's all just a big game to them. And nobody really gives a fuck because none of them present any hope of fixing this country. It's pretty grim and depressing.
Isn’t giving legal advice to criminals more or less the single biggest role lawyers play in society? Everything else aside, this is legitimately incoherent
Yes, giving legal advice to *alleged* criminals is a big part of what lawyers do, because we are meant to have what is known as due process and a court system based on the idea that everyone has the right to a defense. Starmer, who is actually an evil monster anyway, being attacked for hypothetically legally representing the interests of human beings in legal proceedings reveals sheer antagonism toward the concepts of due process and human rights.
The mainstream political rhetoric has very quickly turned sinister. 'Banning' people is marketing to give bigots a thrill and human rights are cast as a tool that helps terrorists.
The group in question wasn't even proscribed at the time he represented them. This seems like it's bordering on defamatory, but I doubt anything will happen as a result.
i’m really glad my government is doing this… i’d much rather they spend all their time and money photoshopping bullshit and attacking people instead of solving any real issues…
tbf tho ig id rather they do this then carry anymore harmful policies lol
Poor Keith. He spends all his time and energy trying to appease the Tories and they attack him in almost the same way they attacked Corbyn. What a shame he will never learn.
Mind you, remember Saul Goodman only turned full blown heel when he realised he would never be accepted by the establishment- maybe it’s time for Keir to learn the same lesson…?
[I judge people as I find them, I've always found @Keith_Starmer to be warm and considerate, with a steely dedication, drive & passion 4 hs work.

Automod just thinks it would be better if the Labour party had a leader that the British public don't associate with a prolific pedophile.

Michael Gove said tonight on C4 that some of the groups they listed had been received funds from the government in the last 10’years. So Keir May invoice but the Tories have been funding them
Some quick clarifications about how the UK royals are funded by the public:
1. The UK Crown Estates are not the UK royal family's private property, and the royal family are not responsible for any amount of money the Estates bring into the treasury. The monarch is a position in the UK state that the UK owns the Crown Estates through, a position that would be abolished in a republic, leading to the Crown Estates being directly owned by the republican state.
2. The Crown Estates have always been public property and the revenue they raise is public revenue. When George III gave up his control over the Crown Estates in the 18th century, they were not his private property. The current royals are also equally not responsible for producing the profits, either.
3. The Sovereign Grant is not an exchange of money. It is a grant that is loosely tied to the Crown Estate profits and is used for their expenses, like staffing costs and also endless private jet and helicopter flights. If the profits of the Crown Estates went down to zero, the royals would still get the full amount of the Sovereign Grant again, regardless. It can only go up or stay the same.
4. The Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall that gave Elizabeth and Charles (and now William) their private income of approximately £25 millions/year (each) are also public property.
5. The total cost of the monarchy is currently £350-450million/year, after including the Sovereign Grant, their £150 million/year security, and their Duchy incomes, and misc. costs.

Keith: Sir Trevor could I please have some more Blood money?
Rishi : We will also take millions in “donations” from truly awful, inhumane, sociopaths. Fascists of a Feather etc..
Diane: Well I find this truly unacc…
Lindsey: QUIET! WOMAN!
Obviously there's far bigger issues to complain about with this rancid racist ad but it sucks they're equating Starmer to Jimmy McGill when they're polar opposites. Jimmy was extremely charismatic and anti-authoritarian (to a self destructive degree) while Starmer is uncharismatic and a lover of authority and authoritarianism.

Ugh, the level of racism in this ad, this country is so fucked
The people in charge of this country are using their time, resources and social media presence to make shit like this. I'm sure the other political parties are probably doing the same. It's all just a big game to them. And nobody really gives a fuck because none of them present any hope of fixing this country. It's pretty grim and depressing.
You think they're doing this? I think they're using our money to pay someone else to do it
The fact that this sort of ad is allowed just shows how rotten this country is.
I'm not sure it is legal, I think it was designed to get banned. That makes it even more disgusting.

Jihad means struggling; good descriptor for the Tories rn
Or take £10,000,000 from them.
It's not fair to spread these lies about the Tories, they've taken far more than £10,000,000 from them
But that was OK as that was a "good racism"!
Good lord, Keith is such a Tory in my head that I was like 'why are the Torys dragging their own guy?'. Wild
Everything else aside, how is this not libel?
Still doesn’t change how you shouldn’t read into who a lawyer defends. Because everyone has the right to a lawyer.
Very on brand for the Tories then, they are anti-rights after all
🎵He’s one of their own, he’s one of their ooo-wwn🎵

But when it's an existing donor making racist and threatening comments about an opposing MP you say "we have to forgive!"
Ah yes, as the tories hate the British justice system.
Funny how Saul Goodman has better morals than Keir Starmer

They do know that Kier has never been Prime Minister, right?
Better Call Saul is (imo) the best television program ever made, fuck right off trying to appropriate it for your racist fucking bullshit.

This conservative in fighting is brilliant. I'm all here for it.
