Angry Knight



Starmer ‘really angry’ after criminals thank him for early release

Sir Keir Starmer has said he is “really angry” after criminals released from prison early thanked him as they were picked up in luxury cars.

The Prime Minister said he was infuriated by the scenes outside jails which saw one prisoner who had been released early shout “big up Keir Starmer”.

He insisted that he had never wanted to sign off on the controversial early release scheme but had to because Britain’s jails were “at bursting point”.



I wished to believe myself angry, but really I was afraid; fear and anger in me are very much the same. A friend of mine, a bit of a poet, sir, once called them ‘the two black wings of self.’ And so they are, so they are...!

Well, some of us are "really relieved" that he's "really angry", whereas others of us are "really skeptical" about anything he says.

"Siri, make up a sentence that Keir Starmer might use about this situation...."

You would need Artificial Stupidity for that. It could explain a great deal.

"Sir Keir Starmer might say - I'm really angry about this, but after fourteen years of Tories putting some of my most vocal supporters in prison like this... I'm sorry this does not compute. Do you have another question?"
