Britain reeling from a taste of Keir Starmer’s medicine

Britain reeling from a taste of Keir Starmer's medicine

On July 29, the typically tranquil northern English town of Southport was rocked by the horrific murders of Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice Dasilva Aguiar. Not too long after, riots broke out in the seaside town, before spreading to all over England. 

Authorities soon arrested a 17-year-old, allegedly the son of Rwandan immigrants in Cardiff, on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.Yet the Merseyside Police seemed to downplay the identity of the alleged murderer, stating

“A 17-year-old male from Banks in Lancashire, who was born in Cardiff, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder and has been taken to a police station where he will be interviewed by detectives.” 

Likewise, mainstream media outlets like the BBC (a.k.a. British Brainwashing Corporation) took considerable time to name the suspect, admitting that the latter “could not previously be named due to his age”. 

Moreover, Steven Barrett, a writer at The Spectator, asserted that police have reached out to him to state that “what we are being told about the Southport stabbings is being managed”, as well as “their priority is that our response is managed”. 

The reticence of establishment media outlets to identify the suspect, coupled with years of pent-up resentment against Britain’s disastrous  approach to immigration, unstable social order, undoubtedly, and increasingly hostile attitudes towards its Christian heritage, led to people reacting considerably to fake social media speculations that the alleged Southport murderer was a Muslim illegal immigrant. 

Rather than addressing the state of the country, Britain’s leftist politicians and their news mouthpieces, such as The Guardian (an outlet that can be more aptly described as “The Guardian of Socialism”), started promoting the narrative that these riots were sparked by “far-right” elements. 

Unsurprisingly, physical riots, assaults on hostels holding migrants, or mosques as well as pandemonium entailing violent skirmishes with police, reigned in the days that ensued. Chaos escalated to such a degree that countries like Australia have even published travel warnings to any citizens hoping to visit Britain. 

“Avoid areas where protests are occurring due to the potential for disruption and violence,” reads the official travel tips for Australian visitors to Britain. 

“Monitor the media for information and updates. Follow the instructions of local authorities.”

Public unhappiness at Britain’s new leftist Labour government was palpable, with people in Southport lashing out at Prime Minister Keir Starmer after his apparent photo-op attempt in the town following the stabbings.

In response, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage declared that public discontent at Starmer “shows you how unhappy the public are with the state of law and order in our country.”

Rather than addressing the state of the country, Britain’s leftist politicians and their news mouthpieces, such as The Guardian (an outlet that can be more aptly described as “The Guardian of Socialism”), started promoting the narrative that these riots were sparked by “far-right” elements. 

Labour councilor Ricky Jones even suggested that the “far right” are all Nazis who need their throats cut (talk about “hate speech”)! 

Across the Channel, the mainstream French media has parrotted the “rinse and repeat” statements of Britain’s leftist government, blaming “‘far right” for the chaos. Hard-left and Antifa-linked French MP  Raphaël Arnault, even visited London to cheer other Antifa members on. So much for Anglo- French diplomacy. 

Apart from stonewalling questions about immigration, Starmer went so far as to claim that the initial rioters in Southport were right-wing “thugs” from elsewhere to stir trouble, while failing to reflect the sentiments of local residents. Starmer  alleged: 

“Let me turn now to the actions of a tiny, mindless minority in our society.  Because in the aftermath of this attack. The community of Southport had to suffer twice.  A gang of thugs, got on trains and buses… went to a community that is not their own…  A community grieving the most horrific tragedy… And then proceeded to throw bricks at police officers.” 

As it turned out, Starmer’s allegations against these “far-right” elements were false, based on news from video sources and even leftist outlets like The Guardian

A YouGov survey depicting 34 percent of respondents as stating that they backed the initial anti-immigration demonstrations undermines Starmer’s claim that the anti-immigration protesters were “a tiny, mindless minority in our society”. 

Nonetheless, Starmer, persistent in his attempts to clamp down on political dissidents, revealed that he was mulling more law enforcement measures to clamp down on protesters. These new measures include “a ‘standing army’ of specialist officers” to be mobilized nationwide, as well as identifying people taking part in protests “as soon as possible”. 

Stephen Parkinson, Director of Public Prosecutions, even stated: “We have dedicated police officers whose sole task is to scour the internet, scour social media. This is what they’re focusing on. So, if you retweet or you reshare those communications, you will be picked up and you may expect a visit from the police, so please don’t do it.” Welcome to George Orwell’s 1984. 

Using the recent riots as a pretext, Starmer acknowledged that the government was exploring the use of intrusive “facial recognition technology … more widely across the country” to police Britain. The Labour government is trying to compel tech companies to prohibit “fake news” according to new social media laws. As The Daily Telegraph warned, posts could be forcibly taken down “if they do not meet the threshold for illegality.” Thus, social media users in Starmer’s Britain have to “think before you post”. 

Ever concerned for the safety of his country, the Labour leader is also overseeing the freeing up of spaces in overcrowded British prisons to the extent of liberating violent criminals, in order to put protesters in jail as soon as possible. Starmer’s biased targeting of right-wing forces in the protests (and his glossing over of rioting Muslims)  has predictably given rise to his nickname “Two-tier Keir”. 

Echoing his boss, Stephen Parkinson, Director of Public Prosecutions, even stated

“You may be committing a crime if you repost, repeat or amplify a message which is false, threatening, or stirs up racial/religious hatred.Be mindful of what you are saying and sharing online, as you could face prosecution.If you retweet something, you are republishing it. We have dedicated police officers whose sole task is to scour the internet, scour social media. This is what they’re focusing on. So, if you retweet or you reshare those communications, you will be picked up and you may expect a visit from the police, so please don’t do it.”

Welcome to George Orwell’s 1984. 

For some time already, critics of government surveillance have slammed the introduction of facial recognition surveillance cameras and other surveillance measures. As per Big Brother Watch, “these are the surveillance tactics of China and Russia and Starmer seems ignorant of the civil liberties implications.” 

 Political commentator Matthew Goodwin penned that “much like we saw when a radical Islamist murdered Sir David Amess, when what should have been a national debate about how to squash radical Islamism turned into an utterly bizarre debate about ‘online safety’.” 

With reference to the recent nationwide protests, Goodwin added: 

“Instead of acknowledging what this is really all about, like the fact British people no longer feel safe in their own country, Starmer’s Labour, who have long mistrusted free speech, clearly see this is an opportunity to launch further restrictions, to crackdown on all those awkward people who do not support the elite consensus on the extreme policy of mass immigration, broken borders, and a failing policy of multiculturalism.” 

Indeed, such is the discernible disconnect between Britain’s political mandarins and ordinary citizens. But why should we be surprised, given that God has been displaced and the communists are now in power? 

Regarding the recent unrest, my English friend Daniel Risdon had this to say:

“I have found that the recent unrest in the United Kingdom represents an issue far deeper than most commentators understand. Sadly, it has also become something that has become easily manipulated by those who seek to divide and control in order to forward their own agenda. Whilst the genuine racism and hatred which did exist within a portion of society should always be condemned, the UK is not as racist as the media would want people to believe. Sadly, the disorder will be used to justify additional restrictions on freedom of speech and assembly, whilst any genuine concern or questions regarding immigration will be dismissed as “far right”. Our new government are globalists and are not afraid to use any excuse to assert their authority and control over the masses. Whilst on a surface level, our issues are cultural and political, the solution will only be found when people recognise the spiritual aspect. We are a nation that has not only turned away from God, but one that actively works against Him. Sadly, there will be no political solution, and this may lead to further despair. Until we restore the social reign of Christ the King, we shall continue to flounder as a nation.”
