Labour attack Greens with failed ‘War on Drugs’ propaganda
Keir Starmer’s Labour Party has been a massive failure. As a result, voters have started looking at the Green Party. In response, Labour have decided to knuckle down and offer policies which actually improve people’s —
— no —
— we’re just fucking with you.
They’ve gone with Yank-style attack ads:
Fuck sake so we are getting war on drugs from Labour, I thought they may be a bit more sane on this issue than that.
Harm reduction beats out criminalisation.
Experts on drug policy specifically state that poor underfunded execution of legislation/decriminalisation worsen drug… https://t.co/tFcPZiucgc

Greens Vs the War on Drugs II
Labour is asking you to imagine what it must be like to live in a country where drugs are plentiful and easy to get hold of. The problem is we already live in a country where drugs are plentiful and easy to get hold of.
The War on Drugs was won by drugs.
There’s an obvious parallel to all this, and it’s the Prohibition Era in the United States. During that time, they made it illegal for citizens to drink alcohol. Did that stop people drinking?
No, of course not.
But it did give organised crime access to fast, easy cash, and this is precisely what’s happened here with drugs.
To be clear, the Greens aren’t saying you should be able to buy smack from a vending machine. They’re proposing a system in which drugs are treated seriously, but are available for people to partake of in a controlled fashion. Under Keir Starmer, you can buy crack from a guy called ‘Spez’ and OD under a motorway bridge.
Which sounds more grown up to you?
Oh, and if you think Starmer is the man who can finally end the War on Drugs, we’ve got bad news for you; you’re on drugs right now.
You are literally smoking crack.
You are off your head.
And speaking of people who are off their heads, please take a gander at this exchange involving Labour’s Mike Tapp:
That same conversation devolved into this, by the way:
Don’t think you’re on particularly solid ground here Mike, they are literally calling Labour the Paedo Party on the doorstops https://t.co/DStFbLeRz9

Mike Tapp — the great defender of women. Here he is refusing to say a bad word about Epstein associate Donald Trump:
.@MikeTappTweets refuses to say that the US should not attack Denmark and Greenland.
Moments later he declares that sticking to international law is what we stand for as a country. pic.twitter.com/5JsmGSLEfQ

Oh, and let’s not forget this either:
2 years ago, when people were calling him boring, Keir Starmer impishly implied that he had tried drugs as a young man (“I had a good time”).
In 2020, he said he supported decriminalising cannabis.
But now? He wants police to crack down on smoking weed.
What a joke!

How serious do you think Starmer is about preventing drug use when he’s openly admitted to enjoying drugs?
Bad VS Worse
As bad as Labour’s take is, it’s still not as bad as this:
This is full blown libel.
I hope Zack Polanski sues her. An AI-generated image that could be mistaken as a real image of Zack Polanski advocating for children to snort drugs, this is another level of libel. https://t.co/61HpH7fVYq

Earlier this year, we covered that Samantha Smith spoke out against deepfakes on X/Twitter. We agreed with her then and we still do, but it seems like Smith isn’t against all fakery — just that which impacts her personally.
Be prepared for more of this anyway.
Whether it’s the Labour Party or the reactionary right, there are forces in this country who are zealously opposed to anything getting better.
