Does a Labour government mark an end to culture wars? | LBC 

It's the Left that push it. BLM is a great example.

BLM, Trans, Critical Race Theory is coming from the Left

It seems so obvious and yet it's so difficult for the majority to grasp.

This was the argument Angela Davis employed in the 1960s, although she took it a step further. Her argument was that the black population of Boston, for instance, and the slightly less poor Irish population were encouraged to war in order to divert them from their real enemies.

Facts! We slipped under Obama and the Nazis claimed power. Britain needs constant vigilance

Fingers crossed, I can't see it heading in the same direction. The Tories have really tried to stoke these pointless wars these last few years. But unlike the yanks, most people are just far more focused on the important issues, like being able to pay the bills, the state of the healthcare system and public services. I honestly think the majority of people just don't care either, and have the attitude of leave people alone to live their own lives and mind your own business.

He won’t do anything for them.

😂😂😂😂

Yeah, but know what I mean - he says it how it is, and that’s all that matters. (To the thick people of Clacton.)

40% at the last election.

Labour love the Trans ideology, Critical race theory, BLM ect. Starmer took the knee.

Thank you Mr Corbyn.👍

Tell the new Health Secretary that, he clearly didn't get the memo

​@@evolassunglasses4673, he took the knee, my word you lot are beyond belief, just because people like you have a different opinion to others and that the right wing tells you what you should think (culture wars) you now believe that politics should be like the WWE? Like the States? Let me guess don't believe the MSM, fake news, rigged etc just because they tell you that?

​@@evolassunglasses4673we don't teach critical race theory here. Why are you so scared of critical thinking skills being applied to history? Stop the drinking the kool aid and joining in with this culture wars nonsense.

It’s just a distraction from the mess the Tories have made with the economy and our public services.

Sure. Your woke view IS the cause of the culture war.

He didn't know what a woman is and took the knee to BLM.

No he isn’t 😂 only the left fringes attack him. The labour base doesn’t seem dissatisfied so far

He needs to get in control of the open transphobes in his party. I hope he can.

I bet he gets more flak from the TORY newspapers. But Sir Keir can handle it. The important point is that LABOUR won with an overwhelming majority. Labour is in power for five years.🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🎆🎆🎆🎆

​@@GuzziHeroV50 What determines a transphobe out of curiosity?

Meanwhile moderated and centrists are shamed as "fence sitting"

Starmer’s first act as PM was to award Cherie Blair’s business partner a peerage. So much for integrity.🤪😂😏

From the ashes of disaster (14 years of Tory callousness) grows the roses of success (Labour!).

@@mup_pet The new government is the old government by a different name. No offence but how old are you?

Competance and integrity? How exactly do Starmer's comments on Biden match the reality everyone sees? How is that integrity?

Competence and integrity isn’t how I spell starving children, personally

Huh? The MSM is right wing? Seriously?

The BBC, ITV and SKY are right wing, seriously.

Trans ideology, anti White propaganda and BLM, ect is pushed by the youth. ( funded by the oligarchs ).

Unfortunately I believe it extends beyond the elderly and can't be dismissed so easily, the previous government, certain media outlets and social media in particular share a responsibility for perpetuating it imo.

I am 76 and I am not going soon....and YOU are out of my WILL

​@@SunofYorkI'll take his place 😁👍

@@SunofYork Wait until you hear The New Conservatives' plans for "taking care of" the working class elderly. Solyent Green anyone? 🤣🤣🤣

The UK currently have the fastest growing gdp of the developed g7 countries. Keep up and do some research.

​@@lestrem11True but the UK remains the only economy in the G7 that remains smaller than its pre pandemic size. Suggesting other problems such as Brexit finally showing after the obscuring of the pandemic.

@@Skygrey2943 ‘currently’ means ‘now’, glad I could help.

@@lestrem11 That's why I said 'true' to you in my reply.

@brian Have you gotten over it? You still sound bitter.😊

Thank you, I'm going to use that!

@@ChrisKeziahHyde I broadly agree, but who decides what is "immoral"?

⁠@@dannyquinn9128the vague consensus of post enlightenment post Anglican liberal humanistic values that we erroneously call “British values”.

@@minui8758 So who decides what is immoral? Could you try again without all the word salad? I don't care if things are "immoral", only illegal.

@@dannyquinn9128 british values. There’s a list of 4

@minui8758 not saying it doesn't, I'm merely asserting cause and effect.

What is official? Look up how wikipedia works.

@@chrissaltmarsh6777 peer reviewed but official? anyway, it was a silly rather than serious comment.

Mmm, where were they slaves??? Nearly all African Slavery was initiated by African countries. The Africans enslaved their own demographic of course.

My ancestors were slaves to Nationalists and my grandad was killed in WW1. I meet some really nice non-white people

Thats a historial fact not a mistruth your point?

What news . What a bunch of unfounded claims . Again i ask you . Are you a Doctor/pharmasist or Persin who has lived experiance with punerty blockers . If not Be quiet and get on with your life as it doesnt concern you

No one. Stop lying. He said he is a popular influence on young boys. That's just stating a fact not an endorsement.

@@evolassunglasses4673 who? who said that?

@@morizwan123 Nigel Farage said he's a positive influence.

@@Adam-th7qt He actually compared his own influence to that of Tate's. So make of that what you will.

Freedom of speech is the freedom to legitimately criticize the government. What you are talking about is freedom to speak and freedom to be heard, which are not rights.

It's not really comparable though, is it? The political right in the UK are advocating for rolling back human rights, deportation and isolation, there's a strong contingent of anti-abortion in there too, not to mention the white nationalism rife in the very far end. The far left examples are.... What, stop discrimination against trans folk, we don't want to fund civilian death in the middle east, stop saying slurs? Cancel culture barely exists once you come offline for a day The enlightented centrist stance just allows the worst elements of regression in the country to drag us down while centrists pretend to be above it all, until it affects them personally. (And there is no rot on free speech, people can say whatever they want, they just aren't free from consequences of hate speech)

Puberty blockers are not hormone treatment. Different medications doing different things. Neither is going to be prescribed without long wait lists to see many medical health practitioners who all have standards of care. The whole Cass report and ‘trans debate’ is a red herring to deflect away from the desire to take away human rights. Also see the rhetoric on asylum and ECHR.

@@hayleymason8123 Are you sure about the time taken in the decision to treat children, for the CASS Review noted that children were often only seen for a one-hour assessment before being referred for puberty blockers. It also noted the unknown long-term impacts of puberty blockers, such as their effects on cognitive and psychosexual development​. The Guardian - generally a paper very supportive of trans rights - said in their editorial that, 'children were catastrophically failed by the medical profession'. You'e not 'taking away' human rights by putting vulnerable children into the hands of ideologues who broke near every rule of medicine and were simply experimenting on kids. The clinics were closed for a reason and blockers banned.

@@ianbooth3164 The final appointment or assessment may only be an hour long, my own consult with an endocrinologist was likely only about an hour before we agreed on a starting dosage and continued program. However before that appointment there were 3 years of assessments with medical professionals. So I feel the narrative of parents can just get these medications for their child after an hour talking to a GP is a little simplified. The rights I am referering to are not those of the trans-kids, unfortunately they are the low hanging fruit to fuel the conversation that then says what about the trans adults, male and female, notice how the loudest anti-trans voices hardly ever mention trans men. Then once they separate the T from LGB, well there’s a little more room to go after the rest of the community, because despite years of greater equality “we were right about the T, so everyone else under the rainbow flag must be just as bad”. Lose gender equality and then cis-female rights are on the chopping block, look at project 2025. Once they chip into paternity rights, then workers rights and protections are a short step away, Why after years of trans medical care did this suddenly become a thing after around 2016, and globally not just in the UK, but the USA and Canada. Teen suicides have gradually been on the rise, since 2016. Also if puberty blockers are so risky and dangerous why is only a ban on the use to treat gender issues, cis-patients can still be prescribed the same medications in likely the same dosages for other medical reasons. Like I said the Cass report, which was compiled without the inclusion of any trans voices, is just a convenient red-herring.

Corporations try to capitalise by pandering to minority groups. Outrage trolls in the media, politics and on social media channels, sensationalise this pandering to trivialise the issues, and pretend it's a sign of the end of civilisation. A soon as you refer to the term 'woke', you out yourself as an unserious, bad faith actor.
