Starmer has no choice.
We do have a choice.
It is delusion to think he has any choice, other than he chose to follow the pathway laid out for him by the British Colonial Wealth-as-Power Establishment and Oligarchy.
He was groomed for this role, he is a willing mercenary. He has his orders.
Those orders stem back to the decisions made by Balfour, H.H. Asquith (1908–1916), who led at the outbreak of war, and David Lloyd George (1916–1922) Bonar Law, (Oct 1922–May 1923) Stanley Baldwin, (May 1923–Jan 1924) Ramsey McDonald (Jan 1924–Nov 1924), Stanley Baldwin (Nov 1924–Jun 1929) and Ramsay MacDonald (Jun 1929–Jun 1935) and followed through with ever since, in a singular determined continuity.
The core of those decision is this - the creation of "a loyal little Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism" as Sir Ronald Storrs the first Governor of Mandatory Palestine put it. A British Wealth-as-Power Empire weapon of Partition, that would be in the field for hundreds of years.
A colony of Europeans with an insane pseudo-religious claim to colonise lands already inhabited by Arab peoples for thousands of years. The plan for a greater Israel, and exclusively Zionist Jewish State, was always part of their ideology. The insertion of a violent, enraged frontier buffer colony top thwart Arab speaking populations aspirations for unity, solidarity and self determination.
At the time Socialism was a hot topic amongst the workers and artisans of the entire world, and that included the Arabic speaking world.
The British and French feared the loss of Suez and the loss of Persian Oil would undermine their dominance, cut off their access to cheap resources and cheap labour and worst of all, enable the Global South to build a competitive industrial base that would outstrip the Europeans simply because the populations were so much larger - they knew that industrial development can happen at pace. They were adamant that that would not be allowed to happen.
Anglophone Billionaires
The current crop of British Wealth-as-Power or Anglophone Billionaires remain committed to that cause, not matter what cost to ordinary people anywhere and Fascism is their rear guard action as accountability for Climate Disruption and War Mongering looms large in the consciousness of those born after 1999.
Naivety, no more.
The expectations of British people indoctrinated into the mythical promise of British Democracy defeating the forces of Fascism in the last century while it still maintain a violent and cruel control over much of the 'ex-colonies' through political corruption, overt and covert violence are a trap. Waiting for the BBC to speak truth to power is futile. Waiting for the English Judiciary to hold any English War Criminal accountable is nonsense.
We must choose.
The only way forwards for the ordinary people is mass solidarity, general strikes aimed at disabling the Establishment, followed by elections of decent, honest people who will use the full powers of the State to hold the old sordid Establishment fully accountable all the way to The Hague.
It's a big ask, but the costs of not going for it are beyond imagination.
Ask anyone living in Southern Lebanon, in Gaza, in the West Bank, ask any survivors of the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the wars of the past 26 years in Western Asia. They know what the true cost of British Democratic Power really is.
We do have a choice.
We need to unleash our fury and direct it into sustained political action, robust enough to make every effort of the billionaires to hold onto their political power a pointless exercise, a dead-end, a self incriminating campaign of constant failure. Accountability matters. Prevention of further harm to ordinary people matters.
Kindest regards
