They’re lying, we know they’re lying, they know …….

Monday/Tuesday blog

This well-known quote has (I believe mistakenly) been attributed to Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn:

And in his 2005 book “The Rise of Political Lying” journalist Peter Oborne documented how political lying became the norm under the Blair and Major governments:

Oborne followed up this theme in his 2023 book “”The Assault on Truth” which describes the dishonesty of the (IMHO) consummate liar Boris Johnson:

But the degree of political lying, described in Oborne’s two books, could seem like an innocent teddy bears’ picnic compared to the tsunami of utter dishonesty and mendacity pouring out from the Starmer excuse for a government.

Hopefully you read my previous blog in which I showed a short clip in which Shabana Mahmood, our new Home Secretary, claims to be protecting Britain’s borders while over 1,000 illegal migrants invade while just 2 or maybe even 3 are sent back to France.

What is perhaps new about the Starmer government’s lies are that they, like the crap spouted by Mahmood, are so blatant.

We’ve had so many of these flagrant and shameless lies from Starmer and co that you’d need another book to document them all. So here are just a few which spring to mind:

• Fixing the foundations – in his recent ‘relaunch’ Starmer claimed Labour had ‘fixed the foundations’ of the British economy whereas his useless incompetent government had actually managed to transform a fictional £22bn black hole in our country’s finances into a real £40bn gaping chasm

• Secure, cheaper renewable energy – deranged madman, Ed MIliband, lies and lies and lies as he claims he is increasing Britain’s energy security by replacing reliable fossil fuels with unreliable and intermittent solar and wind. Moreover, Mililiar claims that renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels at the same time as he signs contracts for windfarms and solar projects at prices two to three times the cost per unit of gas-generated electricity
• Protecting free speech – Starmer brazenly tells Donald Trump that we have free speech in Britain while the Free Speech Union (which I recommend you join) quotes a Times newspaper report that around 30 people a day are being arrested for comments they have written on social media
• Starmer’s “moral duty” – Our great leader claims it is his “moral duty” to recognise a Palestinian state. No, Keir, it’s just a desperate attempt to keep the Muslim vote and stop it going to the crazed Jezbollah Islamist fruit and nutcase party
• Starmer’s ‘patriotism’ – perhaps the biggest Starmer porkie of all will come in the next few days in Starmer’s speech to the Labour Party conference. Having noticed how many angry people have protested about the migrant hotels and how many people turned up to the Tommy Robinson rally in London waving British and English flags, the (IMHO) UK-hating, globalist, empty-suit Davos-man Starmer, will use his Labour conference speech to try to cloak himself in (obviously fake) patriotism as he pretends to be a brave defender of British values and the British way of life. At the same time, this supposed ‘patriot’ is enthusiastically importing an invading army of over 53,000 Third-world men of military age a year, many/most of whom are backwards, uneducated, unemployable, deeply criminal and determined to impose their ghastly, intolerant, misogynistic, medieval culture on our country. Moreover, this ‘patriot’s’ lawyer chums are being paid by us taxpayers to successfully argue that Starmer’s illegal migrants have more rights than British citizens.

Our rulers are lying, we know they’re lying, they know that we know they’re lying but they don’t care. They have power over us and so they lie and lie and lie in the belief that they can do what they want and we can’t do anything against them.
