Calling Keir Starmer "Keir Stalin" is not only an unfair comparison, but it's also deeply inappropriate. Stalin was responsible for the deaths of millions through purges, forced famines, labour camps, and brutal political repression. Equating Starmer, a democratically elected politician, with a dictator known for such atrocities trivialises the suffering of millions and undermines serious political debate.

Do you write their birthday cards in block capitals as well?

Implied? It was more of a statement of intent, a promise to "take back control". Broken promises?

@TonyToning-ne7uq WHICH MUPPET DO YOU HAVE IN MIND? I HOPE IT IS THE COOKIE MONSTER THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED MUPPETS FROM THE FAMOUS CHILDREN'S SHOW SESAME STREET. WITH HIS BLUE FUR, GOOGLY EYES, AND INSATIABLE LOVE FOR COOKIES, HE HAS CAPTURED THE HEARTS OF VIEWERS FOR GENERATIONS. BUT WHY IS COOKIE MONSTER CONSIDERED THE BEST MUPPET? THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS, FROM HIS MEMORABLE PERSONALITY TO THE IMPORTANT LESSONS HE TEACHES YOUNG AUDIENCES. 1. UNFORGETTABLE PERSONALITY COOKIE MONSTER IS INSTANTLY RECOGNISABLE, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF HIS APPEARANCE BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF HIS UNIQUE PERSONALITY. HIS DEEP, GRAVELLY VOICE AND ENTHUSIASTIC, OFTEN CHAOTIC APPROACH TO EATING COOKIES MAKE HIM STAND OUT FROM THE OTHER MUPPETS. HIS SIGNATURE PHRASE, "ME WANT COOKIE!" HAS BECOME ICONIC. WHILE SOME MUPPETS ARE CALM OR THOUGHTFUL, COOKIE MONSTER’S EXUBERANCE BRINGS ENERGY AND EXCITEMENT TO EVERY SCENE HE’S IN. THIS LOVABLE MESSINESS IS WHAT MAKES HIM RELATABLE TO KIDS, WHO CAN SOMETIMES BE JUST AS ENTHUSIASTIC AND MESSY WHEN ENJOYING THEIR FAVORITE TREATS. 2. TEACHES MODERATION IN RECENT YEARS, SESAME STREET HAS EVOLVED COOKIE MONSTER’S CHARACTER TO REFLECT HEALTHIER HABITS, WHILE MAINTAINING HIS LOVE FOR COOKIES. HE NOW TEACHES CHILDREN ABOUT MODERATION. FOR EXAMPLE, HE HAS SAID THAT "COOKIES ARE A SOMETIMES FOOD," MEANING THEY SHOULD BE ENJOYED IN MODERATION ALONGSIDE A BALANCED DIET. THIS SHIFT HAS ALLOWED COOKIE MONSTER TO MAINTAIN HIS APPEAL WHILE PROMOTING A POSITIVE, HEALTHY MESSAGE FOR KIDS. BY MODELING MODERATION, COOKIE MONSTER HELPS CHILDREN UNDERSTAND THAT WHILE IT’S OKAY TO LOVE CERTAIN FOODS, BALANCE IS IMPORTANT. 3. PLAYFUL LEARNING ONE OF COOKIE MONSTER’S KEY STRENGTHS IS HIS ABILITY TO MAKE LEARNING FUN. WHILE MANY OF THE OTHER MUPPETS ARE GREAT AT TEACHING LITERACY OR NUMBERS, COOKIE MONSTER OFTEN USES HUMOR AND SILLINESS TO ENGAGE CHILDREN IN LESSONS. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN TEACHING CHILDREN HOW TO COUNT OR RECOGNISE LETTERS, COOKIE MONSTER MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY EAT THE LETTER OF THE DAY, CAUSING A HILARIOUS MOMENT THAT KIDS REMEMBER. HIS LOVE FOR COOKIES IS OFTEN WOVEN INTO THE SHOW’S EDUCATIONAL CONTENT, MAKING IT MORE ENGAGING AND RELATABLE FOR YOUNG LEARNERS. 4. EMPHASIZES EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE DESPITE HIS OBSESSION WITH COOKIES, COOKIE MONSTER IS ALSO A CHARACTER THAT TEACHES EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. HE OFTEN EXPRESSES HIS FEELINGS OPENLY, WHETHER HE’S FEELING HAPPY, FRUSTRATED, OR DISAPPOINTED WHEN COOKIES AREN’T AVAILABLE. THIS HELPS CHILDREN UNDERSTAND THAT IT’S OKAY TO FEEL STRONG EMOTIONS AND THAT EXPRESSING THOSE EMOTIONS IS A NATURAL PART OF LIFE. HIS CHARACTER OFTEN DEALS WITH WAITING OR BEING PATIENT, WHICH ARE IMPORTANT LESSONS FOR YOUNG CHILDREN WHO ARE STILL LEARNING HOW TO REGULATE THEIR EMOTIONS AND IMPULSES. 5. INCLUSIVE AND RELATABLE ONE OF THE REASONS COOKIE MONSTER RESONATES WITH SO MANY PEOPLE IS BECAUSE OF HIS SIMPLICITY AND INCLUSIVITY. HE IS NOT PERFECT - HE IS MESSY, IMPULSIVE, AND DRIVEN BY HIS LOVE FOR COOKIES - BUT THAT’S WHAT MAKES HIM RELATABLE. KIDS SEE THEMSELVES IN COOKIE MONSTER, ESPECIALLY IN MOMENTS WHEN THEY ARE EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING THEY LOVE. HIS IMPERFECTIONS MAKE HIM MORE APPROACHABLE, AND HIS LESSONS ABOUT PATIENCE AND MODERATION ARE EASIER TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE HE, TOO, IS LEARNING THEM. IN CONCLUSION , COOKIE MONSTER’S UNIQUE BLEND OF HUMOR, ENTHUSIASM, AND RELATABLE FLAWS MAKE HIM THE BEST MUPPET. HE TEACHES VALUABLE LESSONS ABOUT MODERATION, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, AND THE JOY OF LEARNING, ALL WHILE MAINTAINING HIS SIGNATURE CHARM. FOR THESE REASONS, HE REMAINS A FAVOURITE AMONG SESAME STREET FANS OF ALL AGES.

@nathanwood5977 Funny how pulling someone up for comparing Starmer to a leader that perpetrated atrocities, means that I “justify the deaths of thousands of elderly this winter”! Typical far-right thinking. But before I answer this, there is a little matter of the previous government, and what you far-right people were doing. So tell us what you were doing when there was the reduction in Pension Credit eligibility? Where were you when the Tories froze Pensioner Benefits? The Bedroom Tax (2013)? What were you doing to support the pensioners when there was a reduction in disability benefits for pensioners? And not forgetting, what action were you taking when there was a reduction in Social Care Funding? And during the pandemic, were you concerned about the threat to your own freedom by having to wear a mask, or concerned about the elderly in care homes?

@D0G0FW4RRogue None of you numptariate are ever able to provide a shred of evidence to support this. You are no doubt no different: divert, distract, divide. If Starmer were truly involved in a decision to let Savile off, wouldn't it have been widely documented and scrutinised in official records and investigations? Why would so many independent sources, including the victims themselves, not have raised this directly against him if it were true ?

@nathanwood5977 You numptariate call out anything other than your conformist thinking. Funny how pulling someone up for comparing Starmer to a leader that perpetrated atrocities, means that I “justify the deaths of thousands of elderly this winter”!

@laser-sj Don't you know the meaning of means testing? 😆

@laser-sj Learning the meaning of "means test". What fact was I confronted with? 🤡 Is keir Starmer's name really Keir Stalin? Is that a fact?🤡🤡🤡 Let's have some facts then: how many pensioners died as a result of the Conservative's austerity policy and government negligence during the pandemic? You can give us an approximate figure.

@nathanwood5977 Yes you are a hero, aren't you Little Man? But you also ask how I can "justify the deaths of thousands of elderly this winter”? As Wilhelm Reich writes, You are quick to judge others, but you refuse to see your own complicity in the suffering of the world .
1
While you may be focused on the latest Winter Fuel Payment changes, let's not forget the devastating impact of previous Conservative policies. Under austerity, 120,000 excess deaths were linked to cuts in healthcare and social services, hitting pensioners hardest. During the pandemic, the government's mishandling of care homes contributed to thousands of unnecessary deaths. Now, with inadequate support for the elderly this winter, it's clear that vulnerable people continue to suffer under Tory leadership. Whitewashing the past won’t change the facts - these policies have cost lives.

@MartinParsons-tr6wi You refer to a splinter in your eye. This is precisely why people should self-reflect before judging others, and be aware of their own blind spots. Authoritarian populists calling out authoritarian centre-left is hardly productive, is it? They should look at their instant denouncement of people, and instead reflect what they say.

@MartinParsons-tr6wi You mention the "splinter in the eye", which highlights the need for self-reflection before judging others. It's important to be aware of our own blind spots. When authoritarian populists criticise the authoritarian tendencies of the centre-left, it’s hardly constructive. Instead of immediately denouncing others, they should take time to reflect on their own words and actions.

@nathanwood5977 OK, it is time to look to the future, and to a positive vision of where you want the UK to go 1. What core values do you believe should define a good society in your country? 2. In your ideal vision, how should education and opportunities for youth be improved in the future? 3. What changes would you like to see in terms of economic equality and access to resources? 4. How do you envision the role of government and leadership in fostering a better society? 5. What role should technology and innovation play in shaping a positive future for the UK?

@MartinParsons-tr6wi Thank you. Self-reflection is indeed crucial, as capitalism has become so deeply ingrained in modern culture that it is often seen as inevitable and unquestionable. Its effects permeate every aspect of life, from politics to education, and even individual mental health. Before the 2007 economic crash, I had been gathering ideas for a book, but then Mark Fisher’s Capitalist Realism came out and put that idea to rest. In line with Fisher's thinking, self-reflection is essential for recognising how entrenched capitalist values have become in our lives and for rejecting the passive acceptance of these values. By questioning these principles and exploring alternatives, we can begin to move away from the fundamental structures of capitalist exploitation. Fisher encourages a collective re-imagining of society, where alternatives to capitalism are both conceivable and achievable, ultimately rejecting its exploitative elements.

Maybe I can help you finish the sentence. Nigel Farage is a common sense challenger to the political establishment, when he’s not busy being part of it. Nigel Farage is a common sense speaker for traditional values, like pint-holding and complaining about modern life. Nigel Farage is a common sense proponent of free speech, as long as it’s him doing the talking. Nigel Farage is a common sense voice in British politics, especially if shouting counts as sensible.

Once again the reactionary section of the working class are making a pact with the capitalist class, it happened in 2016 in the referendum. Hitler, like Farage also did so in Germany in the 1930’s. This pact relies on the working class to become divisive, and eschew class solidarity: the perfect Daily Mail reader!

@paulmacgregor3640 Negative, negative, negative!!! You tune in to your radical right-wing thought-leaders that play on your insecurities, paranoia, and negativity, and they feed you more misinformation. In the end you end up frenziedly calling out “two-tier” Kier, “Kier Stalin”, calling out politicians and even your neighbours as “traitors”, scapegoating vulnerable minorities for the problems your radical right leaders had a hand in creating.
