Starmer's Doing a Little Street Sweeping While All Eyes on Northern Ireland

As tense as the situation is in Northern Ireland over the near beheading of a local fellow in Belfast by one of their legions of 'asylum seekers,' it doesn't mean the anger and disenchantment with the policies of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labor government across the water in England have subsided.

If anything, it seems the British want their own problems addressed and are taking to the streets in larger and bolder numbers every weekend.

The cruel treatment and horrific ending of 18-year-old Henry Nowak's life have done nothing to cool tempers or begin to ease the distrust of not only the government itself, but also to confirm the belief in the minds of many that British police are acting as willful agents of oppression.

Protests and marches across England, with the flags of St. George and the Union Jack fluttering among the crowds attending, sprang up in many of the major cities and were often met and harassed by equal, if not larger, masses of 'anti-fascist' protestors.

The marches were peaceful enough as always, but the agitators were quick to exploit the presence of those very same agents of the British government.

Labour sees itself and its agenda as being 'at war' with the 'bigoted' lower classes it was ostensibly formed to represent so many years ago.

Terrifying sentiments that they themselves have been fostering. No one felt they had to shout, 'England for the English' until it became apparent the government felt the country should be for everyone but the English.

Now a bastion of educated globalists sneering at the knuckle draggers who protest in the streets and wave their nationalist standards, Keir Starmer's government is using every tool to silence them as it works to overturn the will of the people and finally effect the UK's return to the bosom of the European Union.

...Over the past 20 or so months, Labour has exposed its social and intellectual exhaustion. Technocratic in style, globalist in aspiration, and culturally antagonistic towards the nation’s working-class heartlands, it has demonstrated time and again that it has no answers to the problems Britain now faces. It continues to double down on the green war against industry. It remains incapable, ideologically and logistically, of securing the nation’s borders. And, egged on by Britain’s cultural and media elites, it continues to posit rejoining the EU as the solution to all our woes.

They are oblivious to the anger stirring inside the homes and the pubs that are left.

...Alongside all this, it continues to libel England’s working classes – just as Brown did Gillian Duffy – as bigoted. Indeed, it continues to paint the largely working-class-backed Reform and the wider populist pushback as ‘far right’, proto-fascist or, in Keir Starmer’s recent words, the trailblazers of a ‘very dark path’.

It is this demonisation of the increasingly assertive populist opposition to Labour and the broader political class that is most revealing. Labour is disdaining people’s demands for national and cultural security. It is ignoring their calls for new industries and decent jobs rather than welfare dependency. It is dismissing their profoundly democratic desire for greater control over their lives and their nation.

If Labour thinks that simply putting a new face at the top of the party will quell the populist, largely working-class anger now stirring across the country, it is deeply mistaken. Starmer’s Labour – or indeed Burnham’s or Streeting’s – is no longer the future. It is the last dying gasp of the party forged by Blair and his allies some 30-odd years ago. It was built in opposition to the interests, values and aspirations of the working classes. And now it is likely to be destroyed by them.

And when the people gather to make their voices heard in one of the few outlets left to them - and one that they see utilized by leftist groups every weekend without any interference or government oversight - the people also take note how their protests and legitimate complaints are received.

There is a chance for the Starmtroopers to combine some intimidation with some tidying up during these street events.

The young boy's father was being arrested. The British police handle young children very differently than American cops do.

I hope the rumors of this man's demise are not true, but the bollard does have a dent in it from his head and the force with which he was thrown.

The Sheffield police issued a statement saying that they had 'de-arrested' the 17-year-old so he could get that head wound seen to.

Seriously. That's what they said.

Sadly too common.

Don't be taking those videos.

GB News commentator Patrick Christys says, 'We're sleepwalking into a crisis.'

He says current immigration and border policies are unsustainable, claiming stronger action, including deportations and even leaving the ECHR, is needed urgently, or public anger will only grow. 

Why not act now before it’s too late?

And former Home Secretary Suellen Braverman warns that those Labour candidates lurking in the wings and licking their lips at the chance to replace Starmer would be far worse.

Open borders on steroids. Refugee welfare on speed. Back into the EU. Men are women. 

Reform is the only party that can stop this nightmare. A vote for anyone else is a vote for Burnham. Choose Britain. Vote Reform.

That might well be the final straw that ignites the haystack.
