Starmer expresses pride in saltire as he vows UK ‘renewal’

Well actually the content of this article specifies that he , in his conference speech, stated “”I’m not just proud of the union jack and the cross of St George, I’m also proud of the saltire, proud of the red dragon, proud of our union.”

So not just noting “pride” in the Saltire then….and also what Union is it that he is referring to ?

Also if he is so “proud” of the Saltire then why is it that he only produces a video every year on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) on St George’s day and declares what he thinks it means to be “English” and why people should be proud to be “English” ?

He is the UK PM….so why does he only celebrate the patron saint of England ?

Is that not considered a tad non neutral as one who is supposed to be a PM for the whole UK.…to then as a UK PM, only highlight, only promote and so only celebrate every year only one Nation, England, within his UK via a video from him (he also did this when he was the official UK opposition leader ) ……….

He also does the same for England’s National sporting teams……..in fact in his conference speech he was reported as stating that he “looked back to the semi-final of the European football championships in 1996, when England lost to Germany at Wembley. Telling the audience he was at the game, the Labour leader said that it felt like England was “united by a flag that stood for all“.

(He also always tweets in respect to both the men and women teams of England’s National sides for football and rugby , to spur them on and also to congratulate any progression they make or success they have in International competitions……….but he fails to do the same for other UK Nations who are also playing in any sporting international competitions…………..so he fails to commiserate with other nations of the UK if they fail to qualify for a competition, he also fails to congratulate them if they ever win a game in an International sporting competition or commiserate with them if they are ever knocked out of an international sporting competition ).

So back to the conference speech and so then what is his , Starmer’s, plan for winning the elections next year ?

Well in his speech he “vowed that Labour would fight next year’s elections “as patriots of our great nations”………

So will that “patriotism” then reduce the extortionate food bills, the far too high (and still rising) energy bills and also restore the help, payments, that is greatly needed for those (the vulnerable) on Welfare Benefits or restore the universal winter fuel payments to the pensioners this winter or perhaps find a way to compensate (as promised) all of the WASPI women whose pension entitlements were stolen by a previous UK government?

He also said it would be “A campaign to renew Wales, renew Scotland and renew Britain”

“Renew” ?

Yes “renew”….

As that is now Labour HQ’s new slogan…….they know they can no longer use the slogan “Real change” as everyone within the UK now knows that was a crock of S***…….and my guess is….. so is this new slogan , “Renew”, also a crock of S***……

Sir Keir said also said “patriotism” was about “love and pride” and serving the “common good”.

“He (also) questioned whether Labour’s opponent’s, naming Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, “really want to fix our problems and renew Britain”.

Nope Labour’s “patriotism” drive has emboldened extreme English Nationalism and that does not stem from “love and pride” but from “Hate and shame”……and how is the new Labour UK government “serving” the “many” within the UK Public for the “common good”……….as so far they seem, as a UK government, to be only serving the “Few” and their greedy (financial) interests…………..

Also, come on , does Sir Keir actually believe Labour, as the current UK government, are “fixing problems” (many that they themselves have created for us the people)……in fact for Scotland the best ‘renewal’ for us as a Nation would be our independence from Sir Keir’s UK State……….

He also added ” “Whether it’s the SNP, the extremes of the left, or Reform and the Tories. Now, do they actually want Britain to fail”?……..

Meanwhile who is it that the public, within the UK , see as “failing” as the new UK government ?

Well that would be Labour HQ and also the public think that Sir Keir, as the new UK PM, is also “failing”……….but he continues to deflect , deflect, deflect…..

(Note BTW how Labour are yet again blaming all ‘other’ parties and not themselves….and also remember that Anas Sarwar often states that “the SNP always blame others”….yet , he was sitting in the front row of the Labour party Conference next to the SOS against Scotland, Douglas Alexander, listening to his HQ leader blaming all ‘others’ for the mess that now still exists within the UK………a lot of it because of Labour HQ being in charge).

Sir Keir and his Labour party of ‘YES’ men and women think that we , the public, are thick….and that we will once again buy into yet another empty election campaign slogan from them…….. when we already know that their previous Labour party slogan of “real change” was deceptive, completely false , totally unfulfilled and so was merely (empty) words spoken but there was no action that followed these (empty) words aka slogans………

Also I think that if Labour are planning on punting “Patriotism” as a supposed winning argument in their election campaigns next year then they are onto a loser…..the UK State concept does not work ……and people do not thrive in being ‘Patriots’ as what they actually need and want from a government is one that is able to help them when times are hard….Labour have failed to do so…..

In fact it seems to be that this Labour party have neither any new ideas nor visionthat will “renew” anything within their UK…

As UK politics via (pro) UK political parties is now indeed very much a case of democracy for sale….the highest paying (wealthy) donors get the policies and the decisions that they want from those that they helped to win the elections……and once you sell your party for money then you become those who have been bought and paid for ……so then we the public , and they too the politicians and their donors, all know who it is that dictates future policy in the UK.….

#NotThoseWeElect……….but those with the biggest wallets (Donors) who can buy an election win for those that they donate to in politics………

Also …………….please do not let Anas Sarwar pretend that Labour in Scotland are detached from Labour HQ….as I saw him, Sarwar, giving the Labour HQ leader a standing ovation after his, Starmer’s, conference speech………as he Sarwar was in the front row beside some Labour HQ government Ministers………….showing a strong display of unity and so complicity with his Labour HQ.

Scotland…….Don’t get fooled again…..some voters in Scotland made a huge mistake last year ….so now they need to learn from it….as surely they do not want to make the same mistake again……..

Labour have (time and time again) shown us all you who they (really) are , not just for the first time, but repeatedly, so now can those same people in Scotland who gave them, Labour HQ, another chance last year in the UK GE now finally please please see the errors of their ways…..and never vote Labour again……if not for Scotland then for all of your families and friends…..as do you truly believe and feel that you and your country, Scotland, are Better Together with the rest of the UK…..since 2014 …..surely not ?
