The Sun nonsense has begun 22:50 - Feb 2 with 14934 viewstractordownsouth

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10873187/keir-starmer-earns-legal-advice-mp-pay/

It's hilarious how throughout every election, the right wing press falsely claims that Labour have a vendetta against the rich and people who work hard yet when Starmer earns good money for being a lawyer then that's awful too. I didn't see the outrage when George Osborne took a job at BlackRock, earning 600k for 2 days a week work...

The quote from Tory MP David Morris claiming this means Starmer is "out of touch" is ridiculous... the bloke is the son of a nurse and worked his way up, it's not as if he was born with a silver spoon. And meanwhile Morris' wiki page shows that he denies child poverty in his own constituency. Classy.

So you post up a 'quote' then triumphantly add a link......


....... that does not include that quote


And he's added a bit in brackets in the quote that is his own skewed commentary rather than being something Starmer said or, indeed, something that is true. This is why he is accused of dishonesty.

Good to see you've taken on board my points from the other day...

"simple-minded"
"thickos"

You're not going to change the narrative of achieve any meaningful change in the way I am sure most of us want by continuing the daily insults. You're becoming part of the problem with this type of language. You are only going to entrench people further.

It’s quite something for someone to criticise someone for showing people contempt, whilst at the same time describing those same people as ‘thickos’...

Ok sweetcheeks.

Quit the constant accusations that I always lie.
I don't and simply do not agree with you.

Here is a link and quote.

Care to retract or happy to look rather rude and puerile?

The Shadow Brexit Secretary was then pressed by the Mirror on whether that meant he would reverse Boris Johnson’s plans to end EU free movement if Labour took office under his leadership.

Sir Keir said: "On freedom of movement, yes, of course: bring back (the old laws we had under the EU which were rejected in the referendum and supporter in the recent GE), argue for, challenge.”

Let's play 'spot the lie'.....I don't see one do you?


nope, just yet another

so why not post up a link to this 'quote'

"Sir Keir said: "On freedom of movement, yes, of course: bring back (the old laws we had under the EU which were rejected in the referendum and supporter in the recent GE), argue for, challenge.” "

They're just warming up.

Starmer hasn't been as active as Corbyn in supporting those who are outside the narrative norms of the right-wing press. But if there's less to knit together to build their "no smoke without fire" accusation platform, you can bet they'll just get more creative and one-eyed.

Looks like they're going with the "dishonest/he's not a leftie just trying to pretend he is", which means they can use anything he actually says and does as evidence of that pretence.

It's not context though, is it? We didn't have a referendum on freedom of movement. One of the options pre-referendum was a Norway style deal that includes freedom of movement. We could still have freedom of movement now. You saying he is going against the referendum is yet another example of you being deliberately dishonest.

But you've made up the context.

Freedom of movement isn't part of the referendum but the parliament and EU/UK negotiations. It's like me saying that I want the "unfettered trade" and the brighter future that was voted for in the referendum and not delivering it will therefore be BoJo rejecting the will of the people. Especially if I edit a quote of his so he says that.

You've quite literally put your own spin on Starmer's quote.

We were promised frictionless trade and now we're being told that ain't happening. THAT is going against the referendum far more than seeking reciprocal free movement whilst outside the EU. Nobody was saying we'd lose frictionless trade during the campaign.

actually it is not soin - it is a blatant lie

as what he claims is a quote

'Sir Keir said: "On freedom of movement, yes, of course: bring back (the old laws we had under the EU which were rejected in the referendum and supporter in the recent GE), argue for, challenge.”

is actually a fabrication of his, and NOT the words of Starmer

in any court that is perjury

In fact the brext liars were saying the exact opposite

1. The exact same benefits as we get from EU membership

“The idea that our trade will suffer…is silly” —
Vote Leave, What Happens When We Vote Leave

“After we Vote Leave, British businesses will trade freely with the EU.” — Vote Leave, June 2016

“Our trade will almost certainly continue with the EU on similar to current circumstances…The reality is that the hard-headed, pragmatic businessmen on the continent will do everything to ensure that trade with Britain continues uninterrupted.” —
David Davis, 26 May 2016|

“What we have come up with […] is the idea of a comprehensive free trade agreement and a comprehensive customs agreement that will deliver the exact same benefits as we have.” —
David Davis, 24 January 2017

“It will be a different relationship, but I think it can have the same benefits in terms of that free access to trade” —
Theresa May, 29 March 2017

True but in this country opposition leaders are held to a higher standard than our feckless populist campaigners and sitting government. They're actively encouraged to lie and even have their verbatim quotes ignored.

Black is white is the new black. Winning politics is just about lying these days but unfortunately only a right-wing party can get away with that in a predominantly right-wing environment. Even what the left says will be lied about.

Because it’s a Tory supporting newspaper? I’m sure the Guardian ran similar stories re Johnson’s outside income when he was running for Tory leader. Although you are right if memory serves, the amounts were far higher.

But we need to get away from using the word “smear”. It’s a negative story based on fact. A smear is an attempt to “damage the reputation of (someone) by false accusations; slander”.


Definition of the first word in the article:

Exceedingly eager for material gain; avaricious.
Eager to gain possession of something; covetous; rapacious; avaricious; exacting; miserly.

It was a smear.

Learning how to quote?

By the way, if the UK Parliament chooses to implement freedom of movement, then that is an example of getting exactly what was promised by the Brexiters, “Taking back control”.


Switzerland, oft hailed by Brexiters, is not in the EU, but is in the Schengen Area.
Fancy that.
