Labour PM Andy Burnham has given a contract for the creation of his ’10-year plan’ to a firm closely connected to Israel’s Gaza genocide. BCG – one of the world’s three biggest consultancy firms – will “shape” Burnham’s plan. Burnham’s Blairite chief of staff, former Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) chair James Purnell was formerly an advisor to BCG.
‘Trump Gaza’
BCG was deeply involved in Donald Trump’s ‘Gaza Riviera‘ (euphemised as ‘Board of Peace’) plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza of all but a small group of Palestinian serfs run by the US and Israel. It also helped create the deadly Israel-US ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ that killed desperate Palestinians seeking food.
Israel is continuing its genocide and forced displacement of Gaza’s indigenous Palestinians. The colony has herded the surviving population into low-lying areas that they leave on pain of death – where they are now underwater from massive winter floods while Israel bans tents and shelters from entering the strip.
BCG has also been involved in the Telegraph’s slashing of staff by its new, ultra-Zionist owners. Those who remain are required to promise loyalty to Israel or leave.
Green party leader Zack Polanski has called for the company’s removal – and not just because of Gaza:
Aside from an obvious point that you don’t appoint companies like the Boston Consulting Group if you have any actual intention of ending 40 years of neoliberalism, Trump’s ‘Gaza Riviera’ blueprint is clear ethnic cleansing and the idea that Andy Burnham has invited these people into the heart of Downing Street shows contempt for the victims of the genocide.
The government claims BCG’s involvement is limited to “specific specialist advice”. Right…
