The final nail in the coffin that was UK Democracy : Lowkey looks at proscription

Hi folks
I picked this up from TLN - an excellent analysis of the UK’s descent into fascist, genocide complicity under Labour.

cheers

and here’s the new one (spot the difference):

From Lowkey’s excellent video:

To Lord Walney, MP:

"John can I just ask you if you are the right person to be advancing these arguments, given that you are a former chair of Labour Friends of Israel …and Palestine Action, they say yoy’re part…the current chair of the (PDP) and you’re getting funding from the Israel Lobby.

“I think that when any organisation starts talking about an Israel lobby they need to look into their own slide into anti-semitism.”

…the lobby that can lobby powerfully, arguably even coerce - but whose influence should not be mentioned.

Lord Walney was previously known as Jonathan Woodcock. As Lowkey relates, he was accused of sexual harrassment and stepped down. In a neat looking move he resigned from the Labour party in July 2018, evading the investigation of his conduct, but was ‘rewarded’ by being given a peerage by Boris Johnson a year later.
Lowkey says he functions as a Labour MP - he is listed as a crossbencher in the Lords.

Rewarded for what? He was very vocal in opposing Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, claiming this was due to its oppostion to nuclear weapons, and also that it was due to his anti-semitism.
And rewarded by whom? Wonder if there was pressure from a LFoI direction to keep his boat afloat, defying those normally very choppy political forces he had brought upon himself.

Some good points here about music festivals and beyond.

Takes an unexpected turn after about 13m - if you are zooming it, slow down to normal :wink:
