Today we have the spectacle of senior figures from the last Labour administration being named as potential war criminals. Labour launched an illegal war against Iraq that caused chaos and has damaged that poor nation beyond belief. They justified the war by lying through their teeth to Parliament and the British people. They then invaded Afghanistan in an even more futile gesture than Iraq. Between these wars they have spent multiple billions of our money for no concrete result, other than to increase terrorism and hasten the financial collapse. They racked up a record national debt as a result, and their incompetence and lies brought us the misery of this Tory led coalition government.
The dossier submitted to the International Criminal Court states that human rights lawyers based it on the cases of more than 400 Iraqis, and reports "thousands of allegations of mistreatment amounting to war crimes of torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" including hooding prisoners, burning, electric shocks, threats to kill and "cultural and religious humiliation". The dossier says "those who bear the greatest responsibility" for alleged war crimes "include individuals at the highest levels" of the British Army and political system arguing that "civilian superiors knew or consciously disregarded information at their disposal, which clearly indicated that UK services personnel were committing war crimes in Iraq".
Labour presided over the financial system that led to the chaos and damage we are living though now. They are as much to blame as the Tories for the misery of the poor, the disabled, and working people in general who have seen their living standards fall by 14% since the present set of gangsters took office. They have dissociated themselves from the trades unions who support them and gave them birth. They stand for business and for sustaining the Tory spending plans after the next election if they win it, indeed they have told us they will be even harder on benefits than the Tories are. Today they stand exposed as supporting war, torture and kidnapping. They have displayed a contempt for the law and the Rule of Law, and stand for nothing but themselves and furthering their own individual careers. Labour in short, are a group of unprincipled chancers.
For all those who have their faith in the Labour Party and believe that we will be Better Together under the Westminster rule of Labour and the Tories, I would like you to explain to me what on earth we will be Better Together for? The Better Together campaign, up until now, has been based on nostalgia, misrepresentation, shameless patriotism, and character assassination of their opponents. If we will be Better Together, will that be in terms of job prospects, democracy, rights, a higher standard of living, freedom from surveillance? You have been warned
