What label?

THE BRITISH LABOUR party, this party that led Britain into executing the Igbo genocide, this crime against humanity, with its Fulani-led islamist/jihadist Nigeria client-state in southwestcentral Africa, beginning 29 May 1966, is a social democratic/socialist/trade unionist party, democratically elected by the British population in October 1964 in one of the leading West World countries 
– it is “left wing”, egalitarianinclusivist“party of working class/people”, “party of diversity, “progressive”, “liberal”, “humanist”, “party of leading British thinkers on social justice and change in post 1939-1945 war Britain”, “internationalist”, not the Conservative Party nor “right wing”  nor “party of the state religion” nor “conservative” nor “party of the oppressor” nor “party of the privileged” nor “party of the rich” nor “party of bankers and landowners” nor “party of/for the white man” nor  “nationalist” nor “nativist” nor  “xenophobic” nor “right of centre” nor “far right” nor “fascist”... The dual-genocidist states murdered 3.1 million Igbo people, 25 per cent of the Igbo population, during phases I-III of the genocide, 29 May 1966-12 January 1970; they have murdered tens of thousands of additional Igbo in phase-IV, launched on 13 January 1970 ... The genocide continues as these lines are written...
