You'll forgive me if I don't trust this from a man who believes in antisemitic biscuits.

Funny how having a shitload of money all your life makes you into an absolute bastard, and war crimes are just another thing from TV.

UK carrier not going to the Med

UK carrier not going to the Med

Ah, Sir Keir, SchrΓΆdinger's twatβ€”at once the forensic domestic pragmatist & geopolitical schmoozer the 21st century needs, yet also the jibbering, hyper-unpopular blandroid, hated by the public who voted for him & world leaders whose asses he's desperately tried to kiss.

A wasteman for all seasons.

It is truly astonishing how quickly the most highly decorated commanders in the infowar can abandon the principles they've held sacred for three decades, simply because their paragons and paymasters are now openly admitting to being the kind of people they built their careers opposing.

For 20+ years, I've personally been aware that the phrase "New World Order" meant a globalist one-world govt with a hyper-surveillance control grid, zero tolerance for dissent & population control via eugenics.

But I guess now that Trump and the boys are saying it, that was never the case? RIGHTO.

NEW BLOGPOST: Keir Starmer and David Lammy are taking an extraordinarily dangerous gamble with our individual liberty

For any MP unsure of how to vote on the government’s proposals to restrict trial by jury.

Labour lied about sending Isræl weapons

I don't care if this was just 8,000 bullets, we did this at the same time as locking up pensioners for peaceful protest against genocide.

The nightmare scenario, honestly, but they have been banging the drum of military Keynesianism for a while now

Trump has privately shown serious interest in U.S. ground troops in Iran The president’s private comments have not focused on a large-scale ground invasion of Iran, but rather on the idea of a small contingent of U.S. troops that would be used for specific strategic purpos...

What's definitely on the cards is an inadvisable ground invasion of Iran.

UK bases may be used as staging points to refuel/resupply US troops before moving onwards, as was the case with the 2003 deployment in Iraq.

Is that all hunky-dory? Are actually doing this all over again?

Something that's worthy of consideration: what if one of the bombers that has used tarmac on British soil ends up delivering a payload of nuclear munitions in Western Asia?

I wouldn't say that's a particularly far-fetched scenario.

100%, it's the same cohort of bastards that joined the SA

If you're wondering what kind of person joins a private street patrol group, it ain't your avuncular AirFix pensioner typeβ€”it's the same kind of people who joined Hitler's SA: disgruntled veterans & cosplayers, nativists, extremists of all ages, nonces, violent misogynists, wasters & petty criminals

A reminder that this isn't the first time that Reform UK have called for the establishment of vigilante gangs for protection.

Here's their deputy leader, Dick Tice, beating the drum for private patrol groups.

You can bank on uniformed paramilitaries stationed on a street corner near you by 2029.

Lest we forget that Sir Keir is just the most recent in a line of incredibly unpopular, venal cowards to use strife abroad to deflect from troubles at home.

No doubt his imminent successor will pick up the baton without hesitation.

07.03.2026 14:14 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

As impensable as the PM of the UK telling a US president to do one, is the current tenant of 10 Downing Street even slightly objecting to a war that would distract from his domestic woes.

Sure, this will make Sir Keir even less popular but its his turn now, & he deserves his "world stage" moment.

They meant a "Government of servility" an unbroken legacy of slavish obeisance to the Hegemon across the Great Grey Sea.

Perpetual bondageβ€”starting from Lend-Lease onwardsβ€”to whomever might be installed behind the Resolute Desk at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

And Lèse majesté is utterly unthinkable

US bombers arrive in UK

US bombers arrive in UK

So, the learnèd Sir Keir, human rights lawyer KC, and his former colleague, the Attorney General Baron Hermer KC, have decided that the war of aggression against Iran is precisely as legal as the UK's support of the genocide in Gaza.

A "Government of service", they said....

Expect The Daily Telegraph to develop further in its role as Britain's print-version Infowars.

Bild has played a big role in promoting the AfD in Germany so you can be damn sure that the Axel Springer owned Telegraph will go even harder for Reform. And it’s taste for demonising refugees and benefits recipients is highly in line with corporate culture.

And we, the lords of the manor, the blessèd & learnèd few, chosen by heredity or propelled by unique genius, will be the guardians of culture & the arts.

No need to bother yourselves with such lofty matters, villein, save all your strength for the interminable toil that will ever be your lot.
