Was there ever a more jumped-up little creep with such overweening delusions of grandeur as Anthony Albanese? First, he compares himself to the great wartime PM John Curtin, now he thinks he’s on a crusade to ‘save democracy’.
Pass me the barf bag.
Anthony Albanese says he will work with Keir Starmer to “defend democracy itself” and has warned of threats to the world’s “capacity for peaceful disagreement”, in a politically charged speech rallying support around the embattled British prime minister and AUKUS defender.
This, just weeks after leftists murdered the world’s foremost campaigner for peaceful disagreement – and Albanese said absolutely nothing about it.
After conducting a round of media interviews on Sunday re-assuring voters he could stabilise the government and get his leadership back on track, Sir Keir told Labour members and supporters at the Liverpool Exhibition Centre that Mr Albanese is a “friend of mine and an inspiration to those of us on the left”.
Well, that much is true. Look at everything Albanese is doing and has done: tried to impose racial separatism in the Australian Constitution, beggared his people in a lunatic pursuit of ‘Net Zero’, repeatedly kowtowed to the sole remaining communist superpower, vilified and attacked the only democracy in the Middle East, presided over an explosion of anti-Semitic violence, alienated two-thirds of Australian voters and is trying to impose an Orwellian digital ID… I could go on, but Albanese’s authoritarian record speaks for itself.
He described Mr Albanese as a “key partner in standing up to the divisive politics of the right – taking the fight for the souls of our countries to those who peddle grievances armed with our shared values and our determination to deliver change”.
Because there’s nothing divisive about Starmer’s two-tier policing or Albanese’s attempt at racially two-tiered government.
Here, Starmer lets drop the key to understanding the staggering hypocrisy of the left elite: ‘the right’. This is how their childishly Manichaean worldview works: ‘left’ equals ‘good’ and ‘democratic’. ‘Right’ is synonymous with ‘fascism’ and ‘Nazism’. They fancy themselves as ‘defending democracy’ in the same way the North Korea fancies itself as a ‘democratic republic’.
It’s a common mistake to argue that the North Korean regime is playing some sort of shitposting game by calling themselves ‘democratic’. Nothing could be further from the truth: it’s just that what they understand by ‘democracy’ is very, very, different to what we do. The same goes for the likes of Albanese and Starmer.
We think of ‘democracy’ as rule by the will of the people. They think of ‘democracy’ as the oligarchic rule by the left-elite. If the ‘populist’ (by which they mean, ‘popular ideas we don’t approve of’) right are, by their definition, ‘fascist’, then, ipso facto, they must be ‘democratic’.
Just listen to Albanese espouse the sort of uniparty rule-by-fiat that has always characterised communist regimes:
“That has always been labour at our best. Unity of party – and unity of purpose. A movement that looks out to the world with hope for the future – and works together to make it better. Unity of labour reflects the power of solidarity to drive change.”
Mao or Stalin couldn’t have put it better. Let’s just ignore the fact that neither Albanese nor Starmer have ever done a day’s labour in their entire adult lives.
But it’s clear that, for all his blatherskite, Albanese doesn’t see Starmer as long for this political world. Having shot off his mouth prematurely about Donald Trump – words that have come back to haunt the PM as he is repeatedly humiliated by the US president – Albanese is being much more circumspect about Nigel Farage.
In a round of television interviews conducted on the same day he visited the King at Balmoral, Mr Albanese said he and Mr Farage would start off with “very different views” if the British firebrand were to end up in 10 Downing Street […]
However, if Mr Farage were to “be in a position”, Mr Albanese said, he would meet with him. “I haven’t been invited to meet Nigel Farage,” he told the ABC’s Insiders program. “You know, I’m aware of his views. We would have very different views. Were he ever to be in a position (of power), I respect people’s positions and I engage with them.”
In other words, he knows Farage is well on track to be UK PM and Albanese isn’t keen for another round of public embarrassment from a democratically elected leader he once openly sneered at.
What a loathesome little toady he really is.
