A crossroads in history



Keir Starmer set to address MPs after announcing 'coalition of willing' in bid to guarantee peace for Ukraine


Sir Keir Starmer is expected to make a statement to MPs in the Commons on Monday after his blitz of high-stakes diplomatic action across the Atlantic and in London.

The Prime Minister is likely to address Parliament following his meeting with Donald Trump in Washington DC, as well as the emergency defence summit of European leaders he convened at the weekend.

Sir Keir told European powers they must realise it is “time to act”, and warned they stand at a “crossroads in history”, following the Sunday gathering at Lancaster House, a mansion near Buckingham Palace.


There is one useful aspect of all this evasion - because Starmer is evading his role as UK Prime Minister. That useful aspect is that we may as well dismiss him as an idiot. Forget the psychological and ideological political stuff - he's an idiot. 

There is no 'coalition of willing' which can 'guarantee peace for Ukraine'. Europe can't even manage its own borders, let alone those of Ukraine. It is 'time to act', but Starmer isn't one of the actors. It may be a minor “crossroads in history”, but he can't read the signs.

Good grief, he thinks he's an international statesman and he can't even do the basics of UK Prime Minister, can't even guarantee our borders. All this international nonsense is evasion - he can do evasion but that's about it. 

He's an idiot.

I was going to add something about him being an idiot, but I think you've covered it
He is though

I agree. My pendulum which swings between "evil ideological plotter" and "mildly mentally ill midwit" is swinging towards the latter these days.

At the time he said he was proud to serve under Jeremy Corbyn.
And despite being a multi-millionaire he accepted tens of thousands of free clothes for himself and his wife whilst in public office.
That is all you need to know about his character.

I live near Salisbury Plain and there are army camps all around – Larkhill is massive. Knook Camp stations troops exercising on Salisbury Plain. The military town of Warminster is three miles from me and I shop there quite often.

In the near four decades I’ve lived here, the army presence has always been very noticeable: the sound of artillery and tanks firing on the Plain; the sound of small arms at the range near Westbury; helicopters and planes overhead; squadies in Warminster in the shops and pubs; lots of uniforms in Larkhill, which I use as a shortcut to avoid Stonehenge traffic; and convoys on the A303.

Now? It’s all very quiet indeed. Knook camp is busy, but the uniforms are Ukrainian. And there was a flurry of tank fire just before we donated the Challenger tanks to Ukraine. (You can tell the difference between artillery and tank fire.)

So I would say that TTK is dreaming. We don’t seem to have a viable army, or else they are thinly spread around the nation, because they are not here.
We don’t have much of a navy either. We have more admirals than ships – see Mark Felton’s video on YouTube about this. I’m not even sure we have much of an air force judging by the absence around here.

One final thing: do we even have the capacity to manufacture weapons and ammo anymore? I was an apprentice at Leyland, and up the road was the huge Royal Armaments factory in Chorley. It all went decades ago, to France I heard.
