A standard Fabian coward,



Simon Reader has a timely Africa Unauthorised piece on recent events here in the UK, Keir Starmer's response and what it tells us about the man who may yet turn out to be the worst Prime Minister we've ever endured.

The piece begins with the recent tragic Southport killings and goes to paint a vitriolic but disturbingly fitting picture of Keir Starmer and his response.


It’s Over For England

This was a jarring tragedy, a jolt of indescribably sharp pain to the hearts of families and neighbors. It was senseless, panicked, confusing…then it was enraging, so cue Keir Starmer, the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

As unlikeable goes, Keir’s up there. He wasn’t an especially popular leader of his party, (his only accomplishment was the destroying, with ease, of the Corbynista apparatus). He wasn’t a particularly compelling candidate. That he defenestrated the most useless opposition group in the “conservative” party history could not disguise his mediocrity; he was once an inept Crown Prosecutor – all pivot tables and formulas – he famously found no reason to prosecute the much loved monster Jimmy Savile, and is still a fixture within the “left”-wing lawyer industrial complex responsible for much of the country’s present anxiety.

My own view was always – naturally – panned. I saw him as a standard Fabian coward, privileged yet privately disgusted by his own country, whose greatest fear – like so many of his “labour” and “conservative” colleagues – was to be accused of “racism”. In 2020, he was one of the first British politicians to feign indignation at the death of an American career criminal in Minneapolis. He pranced into theatrical kneeling, then stood upright to claim he understand the roots of the violence that engulfed American cities during that dreadful summer. He has zero conviction and worse, the slightest veneer of it.


Vitriolic, almost disturbingly so, but well worth reading.

Tier Karma has all the charisma of a pox doctor's clerk.

Thanks for the link.

Surkier's credibility, trustworthiness, the Germans will have a perfect word for it. was shot for me when he used his father's very honourable and essential trade, "a toolmaker" as the societal depth from which he raised himself by his own efforts. Implying that a "rude mechanical" was well below the salt. That the skilled workers that built this nation are as nothing compared to a smooth waffler such as Surkier. Cnut.

dearieme - his lack of charisma is almost baffling, because it does matter in politics and Starmer seems to have a negative amount of it.

Sackers - it popped up in my browsing quite recently, so I've only read a few articles, but it seems interesting so far.

Doonhamer - like so many politicians, he mentions his supposedly humble origins too often, as if he doesn't realise that the internet sees what he's up to.

Aye, and the joke is that his father Rodney started as a toolmaker and became the owner of The Oxted Tool Company, operating a factory. So he'd become a vile capitalist exploiter of the proletariat. He managed that while caring for an invalid wife and four children. I suspect that Rod Starmer was much the better man of the two.

He's an incredibly weak man. 'Tiers for Keirs' will never be a leader, just a sort of Labour retainer in a post which is well over his pay-grade, until they find a proper commie, not a cardboard cut-out.

"Vitriolic, almost disturbingly so, but well worth reading."

Indeed.

dearieme - it's one of those things which cruises below the political surface, the strong suspicion that the father was a better man than the son could ever be.

Anon - yes he comes across as a placeholder, although if it comes to it the party will struggle to find anyone better. Not a strong field.

James - it's what we don't see from big media, a good drop of vitriol where it's needed.

Looking at that infamous portrait of Two Tier and Ang taking the knee it wasn't the act itself which disgusted me but the clunky Herman Munster boots of a 16-year-old goth that Two Homes was wearing. Imagine that standing on the international stage as a representative of our country.
And we have five more years of this and the likelihood of another dingbat space cadet in the White House.
Xi Jinping is laughing his tits off.

Nobby - "Imagine that standing on the international stage as a representative of our country."

Strewth you are right. I didn't look at the boots because I'd rather not look to closely, but I've seen goths walking around Tesco with boots like that.

TBH, I only noticed them because I was trying to look up her skirt ...

Just pray that the party don't find anyone worse than 2-tiers!

Anon - I'm tempted to say worse would be easy to find, but I'm not so sure.

Nobby - that's courageous.
