The New Dark Age

Sunday, 15 December 2024 — Kerno Damo

A TV interview described as a ‘racist rant’, a book filled with more of the same and a job as a Spad to a top minister.

Labour recruitment stinks! Right, so a viral clip has been doing the rounds on social media of one of the nastiest diatribes of drivel you’ll have ever heard. Whilst there’s a lot of discussion right now in the news about how badly Labour under Keir Starmer are doing, his hanger’s on, not to mention the dreadful Liberal media especially opining that if we don’t get behind Starmer and support his chronically awful government it will usher in the likes of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Ltd into power, they embarrass themselves, and take us for fools when to all intents and purposes Starmer’s Labour have been little different, migrant bashing, siding with the millionaires and billionaires against the people of this country, after all such corporate and establishment interests made sure Starmer got elected whilst offering nothing but lies about what he stood for after demonising the likes of Jeremy Corbyn, the guy who would have brough change, but change that benefitted us and not them. If you think Farage is different to that, ask yourself why he is always on the establishment friendly BBC Question Time, when the likes of Corbyn and his Independent Alliance and Green Party MPs hardly ever are, but this clip exposes the kind of people that are not elected, but who those who are elected choose to employ and when you then realise this guy works for David Lammy in the Foreign Office, the optics become as bad as they can possibly get.

Right, so that was a clip there of some truly vile opinions being extolled by a guy who now works for David Lammy in the UK Foreign Office, there plugging his book on a Dutch television program back in 2016, so this is an instance very much of a guy coming into the employ of the Labour government after he had written a book on how London is no longer a British city thanks to the levels of immigration that have happened there, which have been described as a ‘shocking racist rant’ by those who have watched it, because frankly if this is what passes for a good employee in the UK Foreign Office right now, we needn’t worry about Reform UK Ltd taking power at the next election ,because this kind of attitude is right up there with the BNP and if this is what passes for Labour discourse behind closed doors and especially at the Foreign Office, then the hard right are already in power. These are their prevailing views and attitudes, not those of the majority of this country, I absolutely refuse to believe most people think like this guy does, especially those living in London.

The guy in question here is called Ben Judah and he is a Special Advisor to David Lammy himself, a post he took up earlier this year, when Lammy was still Shadow Foreign Secretary but this video clip is from 2016 when he published his book This Is London and he’s clearly still very proud of it, since he mentions it on his LinkedIn profile, along with the fact he has that SPAD post working for David Lammy and you wonder whether his advice is responsible for so many of Lammy’s appalling gaffe’s since he became Foreign Secretary.
