Different circumstances - on the one hand, you have a vicious, fascist mob intent on burning London to the ground and replacing everything that was British with a hostile, alien creed. On the other hand you have...oh, wait a minute...huh. Same thing.

America rebuilt Britain, and the rest of Europe, after World War II.

Yes, he’ll rebuild it to the liking of his NWO overlords, either that or he’s lying.

America made Western Europe safe for socialism.

Western Europe may become Islamic by 2050.

Bingo. Britain was the largest recipient of Marshall Plan aid. Britain recovered despite the Labor Party, not because of it.

Whistling past the graveyard I’m afraid, Keir. Great Britain is too far gone for anyone to save let alone you and the Labour Party.

“Keir Starmer has promised to rebuild Britain as Labour did after the second world war...”


He has got to be kidding !

Labour didn’t “rebuild” Britain. The implemented socialism and kept the “wartime” rationing going until they were forced to stop by the result of the 1950 Election.

LOL !

That's just people continuing with the wartime diet.

I thought rationing ended after the 1950 election. But it went on until 1954. (and then gasoline rationing started back up again in 1956 with Suez)

After WWII Atlee promised free health care foir the soldiers...and the UK National Health System was started.

Atlee got elected in a landslide

Promptly nationalized electricity generation and delivery....coal production....railways..transport....and ration books for meat...bread...and milk.

After that, the UK became a "has-been".

No politican can touch the NHS. Not even Margaret Thatcher who knew the NHS is a POS and wanted to do something about it.
