Hopefully readers all noticed how quickly we were told that the prime suspect in the alleged murder of politician Ann Widdicombe, was a “white British man”. This has been repeated in every report since the discovery of the alleged crime. How different this ‘openness’ is when the suspect of a crime is a multi-cultural enricher! When a multi-cultural enricher is the suspect either we’re given no details of the suspect’s colour/ethnicty or else we’re deliberately misdirected: the Southport slaughterer was supposedly “a Welsh choirboy”, the Belfast beheader was supposedly “a Belfast man” (actually he was Sudanese) and so on.
Britain’s two-tier policing yet again and again and again and …..
Will Burnham ‘do a Seattle’ on Britain?
Here’s a jolly story you definitely won’t see on the BBC, ITV, C4 News or any other UK mainstream media.
Seattle’s new mayor, Katie Wilson, took office on 1 January 2026 and was sworn in on 2 January 2026. Katie Wilson won by 0.7% over her nearest rival. Katie, like the New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, calls herself a ‘democratic socialist’. But as we should all know by now, socialists only use democracy to impose socialism. And once you’ve imposed socialism, there’s never any democracy.
Katie studied physics and philosophy at Britain’s Oxford University but dropped out about six weeks before her final exams. She then did several ‘important, high-level’ jobs such as working in boat repair, construction and as an office assistant.
Anyway, one of democratic socialist Katie Wilson’s key campaign pledges was to increase taxes on the rich. Here she is mocking the rich and saying to her appreciative woke socialist admirers at a talk she gave at some university that she doesn’t give a toss if the rich leave the city:
Although Katie’s new taxes on the rich haven’t yet been implemented, the rich have realised how welcome they are in Katie Wilson’s socialist paradise and many have upped sticks and left. There are reports of some high-profile figures and business leaders relocating—and an Association of Washington Business survey indicating 44% of state business leaders considered moving their personal residences. But official census or tax records do not provide a verified count of departed millionaires.
Moreover, several major corporations have moved thousands of their employees out of the reach of Katie Wilson’s new taxes. Starbucks moved over 1,000 jobs out of the city and some estimates suggest that around 30,000 jobs have been moved out of the city. Both residential and commercial real estate prices have begun falling as people and jobs leave the city. Tax revenues have already started falling and the city is facing a $175 million deficit in Katie Wilson’s first year in office and an estimated $488 million deficit over the next five years. City departments have been told to make 5% to 10% reductions in their spending plans.
I could go on detailing this great Seattle democratic socialist ‘success story’. But I guess you get the picture.
If you go to YouTube and search for: “Seattle’s mayor begs millionaires to return”, you’ll find plenty of videos showing Mayor Katie Wilson attempting to do a reverse ferret as it begins to dawn on her dim democratic-socialist brain that her great plan to ‘tax the rich’ is turning into a disaster.
Will the Manchester Messiah do a Katie Wilson?
It seems that Britain’s answer to Katie Wilson, the Manchester Messiah Andrew Burnham, is approaching the governmnet of Britain in the same way as the great Seattle mayor, Katie Wilson. He’s going to ‘tax the rich’ and ‘make those with the broadest shoulders’ pay a ‘fair share‘. The Messiah has a great advantage over Mayor Wilson – it’s much easier for people and corporations to leave Seattle for another city or state than it is for people and corporations to leave Britain.
But although this inertia will mean that the disaster in Britain will be slower than the Katie Wilson economic car crash, it will be similar. And as tax revenues fall and Britain gets even closer to bankruptcy, what will the Messiah do? Of course, he’ll tax and tax and tax more and more and more driving Britain further into an economic doom loop. Though I doubt the (IMHO) financially-illiterate democratic socialist Manchester Messiah can even spell the word ‘economic’ never mind understanding what it means.
So get in the beer and popcorn as Britain’s new prime minister ushers in Britain’s new disaster movie.
I try to avoid writing about my sad, boring little life on this blog. But two recent incidents gave me some understanding why nothing in Britain seems to work anymore and nothing ever seems to get done to fix this.
Incident 1: The permanently leaking beach shower
For various reasons, I haven’t been able to go to the gym for a while. So, to get some exercise, I’ve been doing a 7-mile walk along the seafront each afternoon. I noticed that one of the beach showers has been leaking water for more than a month. A couple of weeks ago, I reported this to one of the local council staff working/lounging (delete as appropriate) at the beach. He assured me he would report this. Of course, he didn’t bother and the leak continued.
But yesterday, hallelujah. I saw a van from an organisation called ‘Dorset Water’ parked outside one of the blocks of toilets at the beach and on the van in nice big letters, Dorset Water boasted about how they fixed water leaks and some other things like that. So, I got the driver’s attention and told him about the leaking shower. He looked at me with incredulity. And, shaking his head, he said that there was nothing he could do about that. I explained that all he needed to do was turn off the tap feeding the shower then the leak would stop.
The leak repairman told me that he was there to fix a leak in the toilets, but couldn’t possibly deal with a leaking shower. The process was that I would have to report the leak to the council, the council would send someone out to check the cause of the leak, the council would then raise a job number, this job would then be assigned to Dorset Water and only then could the brave repairman look at the problem and either repair the shower or else turn off the tap feeding the shower.
In my naivety, I suggested that, as he knew the process and the people involved at the council and Dorset Water, could he report the leak. A look of total astonishment and shaking of his head. Of course, he couldn’t possibly report the leak. That was my job as a member of the public, not his job as a water leaks repairman.
It was a hot day and I was in no mood for a conversation with the human equivalent of a brick wall. So I gave up. It seemed that the shower leak would continue for at least another few centuries.
As I continued my walk I was approached by a gentleman who had been sitting in sun outside his beach hut.
He asked me what I had been talking with the Dorset Water worker about. I explained that I had told the hero from Dorset Water about the shower which had been leaking water for over a month. The gentleman then asked: Did he say “thank you very much sir. We know about that and will get it fixed as soon as possible” or did he say “thank you very much sir, we didn’t know about that, but I’ll report it and we’ll get it fixed”. I answered that unfortunately the Dorset Water repairman had (politely) suggested I get lost as being a water leaks repairman in Dorset he was totally uninterested in hearing about water leaks in Dorset. The gentleman walked away shaking his head and muttering about how his taxes were being wasted.
Incident 2: The great gas meter conundrum
Some workmen are currently replacing the old metal gas mains in the street where I live with new plastic pipes. As part of this, they have to run new pipes into my house. A couple of weeks ago, an ‘engineer’ and two workers from the utilities company carrying out the work visited me to see what work had to be done to connect my gas meter to the new pipes. When they saw my gas meter, there was much shaking of heads and discussion about problems with V16 gas meters and the difficulty of getting the pipes round ‘knuckle bends’. And I was informed that new holes would have to be drilled in my walls and cabinets removed and suchlike. Getting the feeling that I was dealing with some possibly incompetent ‘right-said-Freds’ who were about to wreck my house just to install some gas pipes I politely suggested they send someone who actually knew what they were doing.
A week or so later, three intrepid workers turned up to stand around discussing my gas pipes and gas meter. One was an engineer from SGN (my gas supplier) and the other two were from the utilities company carrying out the work. After a great deal of learned discussion they informed me that they could solve the problem with the ‘knuckle bends’ but that their job would be a lot easier if I had my old large V16 gas meter replaced with a more modern smaller V6 meter.
I replied, “OK, no problem, you’re welcome to replace my gas meter“. Once again (as with the Dorset Water leaks repaiman) looks of absolute consternation. They couldn’t possible replace my gas meter. The engineer from SGN was only responsible for the gas supply, the workers from the utilities company were only responsible for replacing the pipes. The gas meter was owned by Octopus Energy (my energy supplier) and only Octopus Energy could replace the meter. Again, displaying my naivety, I asked whether they could contact Octopus Energy and get the meter replaced. They looked at me as if I was mad. They couldn’t possibly do that. That wasn’t their job. It was up to me to contact Octopus Energy to get the meter replaced.
I did contact Octopus Energy and was told it would take 7 working days for a request from ‘Customer Services’ to reach the Engineering Department. Then the Engineering Department had up to 21 working days to set a date for the meter replacement. Clearly I couldn’t possibly get my meter replaced in the two weeks before the utilities company intended to carry out the pipe replacement
Broken Britain?
I have worked with a lot of engineers as many of the companies where I did projects were engineering companies – oil rigs, jet fighters, aircraft maintenance and office block construction – which were moving from ‘Cost Plus’ projects to ‘Fixed Price’ contracts. Managing a ‘Fixed Price’ contract requires quite different organisation structure and management systems compared to ‘Cost Plus’. And my, admittedly limited, experience of real engineers suggested to me that that ones I met from Dorset Water, SGN and the utilities company were less than professional and totally lacking in any form of initiative or taking personal responsibility for anything.
It’s rather lucky we didn’t have these (IMHO) useless, bureaucratic, initiative-free, blundering buffons running our country in 1939, otherwise we’d all have been speaking German long before the first soldier had been recruited or the first Spitfire had been built.
We’ll start in Thailand. Apparently to get a government job in Thailand and to agvance in your career, you need to pass a series of exams. A scandal has recently broken out when it was revealed that perhaps hundreds of candidates had been paying between 350,000 baht (£8,300) and 850,000 baht (£20,000) to cheat in the exams. I believe the higher the position, the more the candidate or candidate’s family, had to pay. Apparently the candidates were sending their exam answers to a group of corrupt civil servants who would correct any errors and then send the answers back to the candidates to be submitted. The prime minister has threatened to sack any government employees who cheated. But given that many cheating candidates will probably come from wealthy and influential families, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Now let’s go to Nigeria. The United Kingdom’s Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has indicted 1,238 Nigerian nurses and midwives and is actively probing 717 others following a massive, widespread examination fraud scandal. The controversy centers on the Yunnik Technologies Test Centre in Ibadan, Nigeria, where data analysis by the NMC and its exam provider, Pearson VUE, uncovered “industrially scaled” anomalies. Candidates are accused of using proxy test-takers to complete mandatory Computer-Based Tests (CBT) in impossibly short timeframes—such as finishing 30-minute numeracy exams in under three minutes.
How about Pakistan? On 22 May 2020, Pakistan International Airlines Flight 8303, a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Lahore to Karachi, crashed while on approach to Jinnah International Airport Karachi, killing 97 out of the 99 people on board as well as an additional person on the ground. The aircraft, an Airbus A320 with 91 passengers and 8 crew members on board, was on an unstable approach to Jinnah International Airport, with an excessively high airspeed and altitude. The aircraft subsequently belly landed nearly half-way down the airport runway as the captain forgot to lower the landing gear. I’m not a trained pilot. But I imagine that lowering the landing gear when landing is a rather basic requirement. Then the flight crew conducted a go-around. During the go-around, both engines started to fail due to damage sustained during the belly landing. Whilst attempting to land back on the runway, the aircraft lost airspeed and crashed into buildings. Following the ‘accident; Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) grounded roughly 150 of its 434 pilots (nearly one-third) in June 2020 after an official government investigation revealed they held “dubious” or fake licenses. Aviation authorities found these pilots had cheated on examinations or paid others to sit the tests on their behalf.
Now Britain’s NHS. From the little I understand, many of Britain’s best doctors are leaving for countries like Australia, Canada and New Zealand where they can get a lot more money and a more relaxed lifestyle than Britain can offer. But this is apparently no problem as the NHS is recruiting many doctors from some of the world’s most corrupt countries. As far as I know, there has never been any investigation into how these doctors achieved their qualifications – whether honestly, or by cheating or by paying bribes. But given the morality of the countries many of these doctors come from, one might be justified in feeling concern about whether all these doctors are actually qualified.
We can perhaps get a hint as to whether there might be a more than minor problem by looking at the names of doctors given warnings by the General Medical Council (GMC)
July 2026
Chalint MOCHAMENT ALI SAOUGKI – qualified at The National Ribat University (Sudan)
June 2026:
Rhodri Sion DAVID – qualified at University of London
Yug SHANKAR – qualified at Kasturba Medical College Mangalore (India) Rotimi Abiodun AJALA – qualified at University of Ilorin (Nigeria)
Saker SAKER – qualified at University of Damascus (Syria)
Mohammed Zeedan KHAN – qualified at The University of Warwick
A ‘fingerspitzengefühl‘ looking at the list of warnings suggests that well over half of doctors given GMC warnings were educated in countries not particularly known for their moral probity.
While researching this blog, I was shocked/amazed to learn that approximately 42% of licensed doctors working in the UK were trained overseas. The General Medical Council (GMC) reports that roughly 138,400 internationally qualified medical professionals now make up the workforce.
So, is there a problem with possibly unqualified Third-world ‘doctors’ employed by our NHS which is the envy of the world? Have a look at the list of GMC warnings (link above) and make up your own mind.
Here’s a story which seems to have disappeared from our mainstream media: ‘The UK government officially approved the new Chinese mega-embassy in central London. Housing Secretary Steve Reed granted planning permission on January 20, 2026, allowing Beijing to transform the former Royal Mint site near the Tower of London into the largest diplomatic mission of its kind in Europe.’
Lets’s take a very brief step back. On 28 March 2025, there was a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar. In the Thai capital, Bangkok, about 1,000 km away there was minor structural damage to a few buildings. But there was one exception. The new offices for the Thai government Audit Office being built by a Chinese construction company collapsed killing at least 76 workers. Though there are often so many undocumented workers on such projects that the real number was probably higher:
After the collapse, Chinese engineers were stopped by the Thai police as they tried to carry away a large quantity of documents. Subsequent investigations found things like substandard concrete, key structural beams/pillars which hadn’t been installed and substandard steel from a Thailand-based steelworks owned by a Chinese company.
That brings us to something called “Chinese tofu-dreg construction”. Professor Google tells us:
“Tofu-dreg” construction (豆腐渣工程) is a Chinese slang term for buildings and infrastructure that look sturdy but crumble easily due to shoddy materials, corruption, and rushed work. Coined in 1998, these projects often feature fatal flaws like missing steel rebar, structural foam in concrete, and poor oversight.
Below is a link to a ChinaObserver report on the recent Venezuela earthquake. We have to be careful with China Observer reports as they aren’t too complimentary about the glorious Chinese Communist Party. However, although these reports show (IMHO) an obvious anti-communist political bias, they tend to be well-founded in the truth.
The China Observer report suggests that many of the thousands killed in the recent Venezuela earthquake died because they lived or worked in tofu-dreg buildings constructed by Chinese companies. There’s even a scene quite early on in the China Observer report which shows a rescue worker horrified to find what should have been a solid concrete beam or pillar was actually just a shell of concrete suffed with styrofoam. For readers who, like myself, don’t have an engineering background, styrofoam is great for packing fragile items you want to send through the post or by a courier company but is not generally a recommended construction material for high-rise buildings. And, of course, if a concrete pillar or beam is hollow or else stuffed with styrofoam or some other rubbish, it won’t have the necessary ‘rebars’ – reinforcing steel bars.
As the British mainstream media could seem to have adopted a ‘don’t-upset-the-Chinese’ policy, I rather doubt whether any of our ‘intrepid’ investigative journalists will be covering this deadly scandal. I wrote this blog early on Sunday morning. In the Sunday Times I bought later that day, there was a long report about the bungling, incompetence and corruption of the Venezuelan authorities. The Sunday Times even tried to blame the Trump administration for the high death toll. But while the Sunday Times report did say that many of the collapsed buildings were built by Chinese, Russian and Belarus companies, the Sunday Times made no mention of the fact that the standard of construction might not have been totally world class.
Here’s the China Observer report. You only need to watch a few minutes to get the gist of the story:
In my last two blogs, I tried to highlight the economic catastrophe which is facing the European car industry, especially in Britain. For some reason, our economically-illiterate politicians seem blissfully unaware of the damage this is doing to the British economy and how this is devastating skilled, well-paid British jobs. Oh, maybe it’s because our rulers are economically-illiterate? Or maybe it’s because they believe cars are destroying the planet and that, in our future glorious 10-minute cities where we plebs will be incarcerated and forbidden from leaving, nobody, except the ruling elites, should have a car? Or maybe it’s because the elites have their well-paid, well-pensioned jobs for life and so couldn’t give toss about what happens to ordinary people?
Today, I’d like to go further by highlighting the collapse of UK manufacturing.
Here’s a chart of UK manufacturing as a percent of GDP:
And here’s a chart of the decline in the number of people employed in UK manufacturing:
And here’s a chart of China’s share of world manufacturing:
Surely even a politician or a mainstream media journalist can see what is happening?
There is no economic growth!
I’m not a brilliant economist like Britain’s greatest ever female Chancellor who famously worked in customer services for some bank or other up in Leeds. But I can do some simple arithmetic.
In the financial year 2025/6 Britain’s GDP was about £3.03 trillion. Britain’s greatest ever Prime Minister – Keir Starmer – and his economic genius Chancellor (or should that just be ‘Chancer’?) – Ms Reeves – claimed that with economic growth of about 1.3%, the UK was the ‘fastest growing economy in the G7’ or some nonsense like that. But during the financial year 2025/6 Britain borrowed and spaffed on massive public sector pay rises, millions of can’t-be-bothered-to-work skivers and an invading army of illegal immigrants a ‘mere’ £129 billion. This was equivalent to 4.2% of GDP.
Using my little pocket calculator (or even my fingers), I can work out that this means that, if Britain had not borrowed and spaffed 4.2% of GDP, then our real ‘growth’ would actually be minus 2.9% (4.2-1.3=2.9). This is NOT growth. This is a 2.9% fall in GDP.
Yet our politicians somehow believe (or claim to believe?) the British economy is growing.
God help us! We are governed by liars or idiots or lying idiots!
Oh, and here’s an AI video I had produced about Britain’s greatest ever female Chancellor:
In yesterday’s blog I tried to show the economically-catastrophic fall in car production in Germany, France and the UK. While various new outlets did carry the story about German car manufacturer VW planning to sack up to 100,000 of its 600,000 workforce, I haven’t seen any of our ‘wonderful, far-sighted’ politicians or ‘courageous, truthseeking’ journalists go into the true disaster facing Western economies due to the aggressive and even predatory rise of Chinese industry.
Anyway, here’s the other side of the coin from yesterday’s blog – the rise in the share of global car markets being achieved by Chinese manufacturers:
I can’t understand how Western rulers can look at charts like this and not understand the crisis facing our countries.
This just copies how the Chinese (usually helped by subsidies from the Chinese Communist Party) have invaded and taken over many other markets such as solar panels, electronics, wind turbines and much more. In fact, it’s difficult nowadays to find something which isn’t made in China. If we keep on following our rulers’ ludicrously economy-destroying, climate-catastrophist policies, it seems that much of the West will become an impoverished, de-industrialised theme park for our new masters – wealthy Chinese tourists.
You’ve probably heard the news. German car manufacturing giant – VW – are planning to reduce their workforce by around 100,000 from just over 600,000 to just over 500,000. One in six VW workers will lose their jobs. That is not a minor economic problem. That is not even an economic disaster. That is an economic catastrophe.
Let’s look at a few simple charts even someone as stupid as Mad Ed Miliband might be able to understand.
Here’s Germany’s car production from 2002 to 2022:
And here’s France’s car production from 2013 to 2024:
And here’s the UK’s car production from 1949 to 2025:
(The charts all have different dates as I used what was available on Google Images rather than trying to construct my own charts from the base data)
Am I the only person who can see a pattern here?
There seem to be three main reasons for the shocking collapse in Europe’s car manufacturing:
The idiotic Net Zero climate catastrophist policies of our rulers who are obsessed with ridding the world of fossil-fuel cars in order to supposedly ‘save the planet’ from supposed ‘Global Boiling’
The fact that China accounts for roughly 70% of global rare earth mining and an estimated 90% of global processing and refining capacity. China also holds about 49% of the world’s known rare earth reserves. So the Chinese can price the key and most expensive part of electric vehicles – the battery which needs rare earth metals – at such high prices that Western countries will never be able to compete with Chinese electric vehicles. This puts Western carmakers in an impossible situation. On the one hand our economically-illiterate rulers are demanding they sell ever more electric cars and on the other hand the Chinese Communist Party ensures that rare earths and batteries are priced so high that Chinese electric vehicles will always be able to undercut Western ones on price
China’s clear policy of wiping out most of Western car manufacturing by flooding the market with cheaper Chinese products
Given this economic catastrophe facing hundreds of thousands of workers in car manufacturing and the car manufacturing supply chain, what are our ‘brilliant’ rulers doing to protect well-paid, skilled jobs in the West?
After all, our rulers have overpaid jobs for life, almost unlimited expense accounts and massive guaranteed pensions. So why should they give a flying f**k over the fact that hundreds of thousands of Western car industry workers are having their lives ruined by our rulers’ policies?
On Wednesday this week, I wrote a blog about an incident I observed on Tuesday while I was doing a 7-mile walk along the local beach. A woman had apparently been pulled from the sea after what was described as ‘a medical incident’. I noticed that there were no fewer than two ambulances and one helicopter air ambulance present along with one police car containing two police officers. As time went on another police car containing two police officers arrived. Then about 15 minutes later a police van with three police arrived.
Given that the police are reportedly far too busy to turn up when homes are burgled or cars or phones are stolen – even when those cars or phones have tracking devices – I wondered how the police could possibly have the resources to send no fewer than seven plods to one beach medical emergency.
You’re not going to believe this, but I was doing the same 7-mile walk yesterday (Friday) and saw the same helicopter air ambulance landing in almost exactly the same spot. This time the situation was possibly more distressing. There are several places along the beach where there are small cable cars:
Apparently a distressed man had climbed onto the roof of the clifftop end of such a cable car track. There’s a cafe on the clifftop just nearby and someone had called the police. I’m told by a witness who had been drinking coffee with her husband that a police car had arrived and the two police officers had tried to convince the man to come down. But the man jumped and died from the fall.
I can understand that it would be necessary for a few police to attend such an incident. Maybe you’d need 2 to 3 to cordon off the area where the man jumped and to take witness statements and perhaps another 3 to 4 police to cordon off the area where the suicidalist landed. But I counted 12 police cars and vans. I know one car had 3 police while the others would have had at least 2 police each. That suggests there were over 20 police in attendance. While it is obviously necessary for police to attend such an incident, I did wonder whether more than 20 police officers were really necessary or whether some of them could have been doing something unusual for our police like catching criminals or trying to prevent crime.
Will we soon not need humans in TV programmes?
To cheer us all up, I attach below a recent YouTube video I found quite amusing. The people who made this video have made several others featuring the same character. I don’t know how long it took to make this video or how much it cost. But I imagine this could be done much faster and at a much lower cost than producing 2-3 minutes of TV using real people. Given the power of AI which allows people choose any person they want and to make that person say anything they want in that person’s real voice or to create any character they want in any scenes they want, I wonder how long it will be before we have whole TV programmes which don’t feature any real people. That will put an awful lot of actors, celebs, camera operators, sound recordists and others of their ilk out of a job:
In my Thursday blog I quoted a number of political party leaders demanding a General Election after the ruling Tories changed their party leader and thus our prime minister. These lying, blethering, self-serving, wothless, greedy, hypocritical scum ( sorry, of course I meant ‘these noble, self-sacrificing public servants‘) all stressed how important it was for our democracy that a change of prime minister should always lead to a General Election.
All the quotes I used yesterday came from an article on the BBC website in October 2022 just after Liz ‘lettuce’ Truss’s resignation as prime minister.
If you watch the BBC, you’ll have been bombarded by ‘ads’ by the BBC about how brilliant their BBC Verify operation is and you’ll have seen over and over and over and over again clips like the one below in which the BBC boasts of itself as a champion of the truth:
So, now that the BBC has verified quotes from the main party leaders about how important it was to defend democracy by having a General Election each time a party changes prime minister, will our courageous BBC truth warriors be asking our politicians – particularly Labour MPs and ministers – why they have suddenly changed their minds and no longer feel it is important to defend democracy by having an election when Starmer is replaced?
Please don’t hold your breath as I wouldn’t want to be held responsible for any injuries caused by this blog.
As I wrote yesterday, here’s the real reason our mainstream political party politicians are now somewhat less enthusiastic than before about defending democracy by having a General Election:
If there was a new General Election, I believe Labour would win but with a much reduced majority. However, there would be a massive increase in the number of seats won by Nigel Farage’s and Richard Tice’s Reform – possibly winning as many as 100 to 150 seats and replacing the Tories as the main opposition party. This would mean a large number of Labour, LibDem and Tory MPs losing their well-paid jobs, almost unlimited expense accounts and unbelievably generous pensions.
And that’s not something the main party leaders would want. So there will be no General Election and a political coup will give Britain’s most anti-British socialist government so much power to crush free speech, arrest its opponents and gerrymander the electoral system so that there may never be a British patriotic government ever again.
As for the UK-hating, lefty, truth-allergic BBC, don’t expect them to embarrass our rulers by asking them why they have lost interest in defending democracy when Labour changes leader and thus prime minister, when this was apparently so important when the Tories did it.
On 21 October 2022, after Liz Truss’s resignation as prime minister, the other parties howled about the need to defend democracy and demanded a General Election.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer called for an immediate general election following the resignation of the prime minister. Sir Keir said the country “cannot have another experiment at the top of the Tory party“. Sir Keir said: “This is not just a soap opera at the top of the Tory party – it’s doing huge damage to the reputation of our country. We need a general election so the public can have their say on this utter chaos.”
The beloved ‘Sir’ Keir also claimed his party was ready for government: “There’s a manifesto that is going to be ready whenever an election is called,” Sir Keir told the BBC: “I’ve had a team working on that. I’ve had a team working on general election preparedness. We’ve moved our teams on to a general election footing. We’re very, very prepared should there be a general election.”
The Liberal Democrats, the SNP. Plaid Cymru and the Green Party also called for an immediate general election.
Scotland’s first minister – the Sturgeon creature who had no idea her husband was stealing over £400,000 from the SNP to buy amongst other things hair care products unusual for a bald man – said a UK general election is a “democratic imperative” following the resignation of the prime minister. “This is an almighty mess, and it is people the length and breadth of the UK who are paying the price of this,” she told the BBC “Fundamentally the UK now needs to have a democratic choice over its next prime minister.”
Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said: “We do not need another Conservative prime minister lurching from crisis to crisis, we need a general election. It is time for Conservative MPs to do their patriotic duty, put the country first and give the people a say.”
But as Starmer fades into well-deserved obscurity while the Manchester Messiah continues his victorious march towards Number 10 Downing Street, suddenly, the other party leaders seem to have lost their enthusiasm for another General Election and their commitment to protecting democracy.
Why? If there was a new General Election, I believe Labour would win but with a much reduced majority. However, there would be a massive increase in the number of seats won by Nigel Farage’s and Richard Tice’s Reform – possibly winning as many as 100 to 150 seats. This would mean a large number of Labour, LibDem and Tory MPs losing their well-paid jobs and almost unlimited expense accounts.
And that’s not something the main party leaders would want. So there will be no General Election and a political coup will give Britain’s most anti-British socialist government so much power to crush free speech, arrest its opponents and gerrymander the electoral system so that there may never be a British patriotic government ever again.
This hypocrisy hopefully exposes our MPs for what they really are – selfish, greedy, lying, self-serving, grifting scum who would say and do anything just to cling on to their lousy jobs, bountiful expense accounts and massive pensions. Total garbage, all of them.
Why did ‘successful’ Sir Keir resign?
Apparently tearful knight of the realm – Two-Tier Keir – gave a blubbing resignation speech in which he tried to big up his many supposed ‘successes’. I didn’t watch it as the sooner that (IMHO) thin-skinned, free-speech-loathing, UK-hating, Davos-loving, migrant-hugging, Islamophiliac, lying empty suit of a man disappears from my life the better.
However, if Two-Tier was so ‘successful’ why did he feel the need to resign. It’s all very confusing!
David Craig, on July 11th, 2026
