“I want you to know this violent mob do not represent our country.”
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, speaking after the first emergency COBRA meeting.
So says the man who is the leader of a party that, in the recent general election, only managed to win the backing of 1-in-5 of those eligible to vote. Starmer’s ‘overwhelming majority’ (20 percent) was an increase of only 700,000 votes more than the Marxist Jeremy Corbyn won at the 2019 general election. That result was widely regarded as ‘disastrous’ for the Labour Party.
After nearly 5 weeks in the top job, a time when most newly elected governments and ministers are in a honeymoon period, the prime minister’s approval rating has plummeted. And that was before the latest street protests. Starmer and his comrades were seemingly caught on the hop by the extent of public anger over immigration, both illegal and legal.
True to form, Black Lives Matter supporter Keir Starmer put the blame on the protesters. After the first COBRA meeting (which brings together the police, military, spooks and politicians), the PM went on TV to explain, “Muslim communities targeted, attacks on mosques, other minority communities singled out, Nazi salutes in the street, attacks on the police, wanton violence alongside racist rhetoric.
“To those of you who feel targeted because of the colour of your skin of your faith, I know how frightening this must be. I want you to know that this violent mob do not represent our country and we will bring them to justice.”
Like a rabbit caught in the headlights, his eyes wide with fear and continuously looking down at his notes, the PM gave the appearance of a man under pressure and not quite in control. This was not the media-savvy premier confident in his own leadership or his cause.
To make matters worse for Starmer, Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly known as Twitter), and reputedly the world’s richest man, waded into the fray, saying that ‘civil war is inevitable’. The tweet was viewed 9.3 million times. Strangely, Starmer’s office, in its wisdom, decided to reply to Musk, saying in a statement that such comments had “no justification.”
Musk has since picked up the gauntlet and replied on X, “Why aren’t all communities protected in Britain?” His comment was followed by the trending hashtag #TwoTierKeir.
Things appear to be going from bad to worse for the PM, and the first five weeks can be regarded as disastrous for his party as well. In-fighting, suspensions of Labour MPs for voting against government motions, attacks against uniformed soldiers and small children, and now the latest protests across the country.
At this rate, #TwoTierKeir will be lucky to be in his job in twelve months, and I for one will be surprised if this multi-racial, WEF-supporting party manages to still exist in its present form in 5 years.
Incidentally, Musk has also tweeted “What the hell is going on?” above the image of Sam Melia, sentenced to two years imprisonment for producing paper stickers.
