Keir Starmer must be remarkably stupid or remarkably brazen if he thinks that the British public cannot work out what he is up to. Perhaps he is both brazen and stupid.
Operation Early Dawn, announced this week, will involve keeping prisoners waiting for court appearances in police cells for longer to make room for the nearly 1000 ‘far-right’ protesters arrested in the wake of the protests and riots on 3 August this year. This comes on top of over 5000 prisoners being released almost as soon as the Labour government assumed power to ease overcrowding in prison.
Referred to by one writer as ‘Crime and no punishment’, reference was made at that time by the Justice Secretary with the quintessentially English name of Shaban Mahmood to the ‘inevitable’ overcrowding by September. Conspiracy theories ought to be avoided, but I cannot be alone in thinking that the government was preparing for 3 August.
Here at TNC we have been at pains to indicate that we do not condone violent protest. It is counterproductive, people get hurt and people get arrested. But how many of those arrested over the events on 3 August were involved in vandalism, violence or even incitement to hatred or violence? All of them according to the government.
Yet we hear reports of people simply caught watching the riots being considered to be committing a crime, people shouting at the police likewise. That, and some awful people who seemed genuinely upset that their town centres were being taken over by young, male, Muslim asylum seekers, and were not afraid to express themselves.
Meantime, on a weekly basis, thousands of headscarved hooligans descend on almost every city centre calling for genocide against Israel, displaying logos of an explicitly antisemitic kind and intimidating any passers-by who provoke them by being ‘openly Jewish’ (an expression invented, incidentally, by the rigidly ‘single-tier’ Metropolitan Police). Few, if any, arrests have been made. It is clearly one law for us and no law for them.
In some inner cities groups of immigrants of various hues and religions who claim to have fled violence and destruction knock ten bells out of each other with impunity, Muslims throw stones at passers-by from an Islamic centre in Hull, and members of the Romanian Caravan Club riot and burn cars in Leeds. The only arrest to date is a lady who asked the police, who up to that point had been enjoying her mugs of tea, why they were not arresting anyone. She experienced single-tier policing at its finest.
Others have been arrested and hefty prison sentences already handed down to many who, as opposed to rioting and vandalism, used hurty words on Twitter, re-tweeted film of the riots (which the BBC seemed only too happy to broadcast in the first place) and generally explained that they could understand people’s frustration at mass immigration, both legal and illegal. We can thank our lucky Starmers that these vile people are off the streets. Lord only knows how upset they would be or what they would do if they bumped into an immigrant rapist who had been given a suspended sentence or, in fact, any rapist who was not even being sent to jail to make room for proper criminals guilty of the ultimate crime of being labelled ‘far-right’.
But back to Operation Early Dawn. The fact that prisons are being cleared and that fewer potential criminals are being sent there on remand means that legal eagle Sir Kier Starmer and his associates have already adjudged that those arrested in the wake of 3 August are guilty. Our government has become judge, jury and executioner of anyone who has the audacity to express their opposition to the main plank of their policy to bring the UK to its financial, social and cultural knees – that of unrestricted immigration.
Predictions are dangerous, but this present situation in which we find ourselves cannot continue. Elon Musk’s claims of civil war may be exaggerated. It is to be hoped that they are, and that he is doing nothing to encourage that to take place. But Starmer, for whom very few voted in the first place, has alienated most voters now. We may not be lucky enough to see an early General Election. Labour will not make the same mistake as Theresa May and put their lack of popularity to the test. The Conservatives (remember them?) seem to have left the building.
Our only hope is Reform who must do what they can to coalesce the other minority parties with similar views—principally on immigration—around them, and sweep the board at the next opportunity. To do otherwise will be a dereliction of duty.

That’s all well and good but when peaceful demos and our immigration/replacement concerns are totally ignored where does that leave us to go? He will go from ‘Red Dawn’ to ‘Red Storm Rising’ sooner or later.
‘Keir Starmer must be remarkably stupid or remarkably brazen’. During the course of a reasonably long life it has been my experience, many times over, that there is no either/or where ‘stupid’ and ‘brazen’ are concerned. The two qualities are invariably found together.
I suspect it’s because individuals with fairly average IQs can think from A to B but aren’t much good at thinking from A to C or even D. Finding oneself doing a job way beyond ones capabilities must be very scary, and the temptation to DO something, anything, is probably very strong. At least poor Sir Keir often looks to me like a scared rabbit in the headlights of a rapidly approaching juggernaught so he obviously does grasp the danger of his situation. I’m not so sure about some of the rest of his motley crew. For example, ‘can’t cope with a bacon-butty’ Miliband doesn’t seem to have grasped that in less than fifty years Angela’s millions of new housing estates are going to be inundated by the expired batteries of electric vehicles, and probably the vehicles themselves, and the various worn-out bits of the windmills he’s going to cover what’s left of the country in.
This may be the result of fifty odd years of Labour’s policy of, not only equality of opportunity, but also equality of outcome. The Conservative Party may be melting away because no one would be mad enough to want to be an MP after the next five years?
There’s a memorable line in the film ‘Cromwell’ where Robert Morley playing Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester states ”What’s the point of being an MP if we can’t profit from it?’ … That has not changed over the years despite Cromwell’s attempts to reform it.
Oliver Cromwell profited plenty from using armed men to take over the House of Commons, assuming rule of the country, and confiscating the property of anyone who had opposed his aims.
He had more in common Keir Starmer than with anyone who has ever genuinely cared about England, its culture, or its people. The Labour Party aren’t the first political faction to use ‘For the People!’ rhetoric without it particularly true of their actual aims or methods.
”The Labour Party aren’t the first political faction to use ‘For the People!’ rhetoric”
And they certainly won’t be the last. The Q. is, will the plebs, as they see us, keep falling for the same old scam?
I think that ship has sailed with the last 6 weeks of Labour being in office.
The Conservative Party are no doubt painting up their new puppets and writing their new narrative for their next presentation ‘Conservatism – the real thing’. It promises to appeal to their credulous members and half wits who believe any old tripe they are told.
The British Public are indeed stupid, or let’s be specific the voting public who thought it would be nice to have a change and vote in Labour (admittedly not much different to Conservative or Liberal or Green) as if this would make things better for them – working out well so far isn’t it?
‘Far-Right’ is to LibLabConGreen as ‘Jew’ was to NSDAP….
The problem is that the so-called ‘Far-right’ is a figment of the chimeric imagination of the ‘Far-left’ … The ‘Right’ never moved … it is the ‘far-left’ that is receding into the distance. This drift by the left naturally shifts the ‘centre point’ creating the illusion of a ‘far-right’
True, but the ‘Far-Left’ have all too easily been able to convince the gullible that the ‘Far-Right’ does exist. Just as the USA saw Reds under the beds and Axis Powers Jews & Bolsheviks in control of everything, many now believe there is a threat from an imaginary foe (whilst disconnecting from the inconvenient fact that they have much in common with the concerns of the imaginary enemy).
