‘David Lammy you can’t hide’, protesters tell dire Starmeroid
A West Midlands fundraiser featuring Labour right-winger David Lammy was cancelled on Thursday night because of a protest by opponents of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Lammy, who has been one of Keir Starmer’s main spokespeople to defend Starmer’s support for Israel’s ‘right’ to commit war crimes, has recently tried to moderate his earlier appalling statements, but angry activists say they are not fooled.
News of the cancellation circulated among activist groups in the form of an amended flyer for the right-wing fundraiser, along with a message telling Lammy ‘you can’t hide’ – calling to mind the marching chant that repeats the name of a colluder with Israel’s war crimes followed by the rhyming line ‘We charge you with genocide’.
