A man is known by the company he keeps

Monday blog

Professor Google tells us: “You know a man by the company he keeps” is an old proverb meaning a person’s character, values, and nature can be judged by the friends and associates they choose, as people tend to surround themselves with those who are similar to them in behavior and beliefs. (The highlighting was done by Professor Google, not me)

This phrase has been attributed to many sources, for example:

So let’s apply this to our current prime minister – towering international statesman and (IMHO) recidivist liar Keir ‘not queer, never here’ Starmer. We’ll look at one recent arrival in Britain and one recent non-arrival in Britain.

Welcome to Britain

Let’s start with an Egyptian gentleman called Alaa Ahmed Seif al Islam Abd El-Fattah. As I’m sure you know, this person was recently welcomed into Britain by our ‘massively popular’ Prime Minister. The Prime Minister said he was “delighted” that Alaa Abd el-Fattah had arrived from Egypt after a travel ban imposed by Cairo was lifted following lobbying by ministers.

Wikipedia informs us:

Following Abd El-Fattah’s arrival to the United Kingdom in December 2025, controversy emerged over his earlier posts on X (formerly Twitter). El-Fattah wrote “I’m telling you that I hate white people” and referred to British people as “dogs and monkeys”.^[116] On 3 July 2010, he expressed support for killing “any colonialists and specially zionists“, referring to such acts as “heroic”.^[117] On 10 September 2010, he posted that “there was no genocide against Jews by the Nazis – after all, many Jews are left”.^[116] On 3 November 2010, he referred to himself as “a violent person who advocated the killing of all Zionists including civilians”.^[118] On 8 August 2011, during riots in England, he wrote “Now my real criticism of these post-police murder riots is the wrong focus, go burn the City or Downing Street, or hunt police fools”.^[116] He also wrote in the same year that “police are not human” and “don’t have rights, we should just kill them all“.^[116] In 2012 he posted: “I am a racist, I don’t like white people.”

If Wikipedia is to believed, this chap seems rather less than charming.

When Opposition MPs called for Abd El-Fattah’s British citizenship to be revoked and for him to be deported, Starmer hid behind Human Rights law in order to keep this gentleman in Britain.

This is the kind of person Prime Minister Starmer admires and believes will make a valuable contribution to British society.

Not welcome in Britain

Here’s Eva Vlaardingerbroek:

Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she is also highly intelligent and incredibly articulate. If I remember correctly, she was often interviewed by the brilliant Mark Steyn on GB News before Steyn was banned by Ofcom for two mortal sins:

• questioning whether the ‘safe and effective’ vaccines against the Chinese lab-leaked plague were actually ‘safe and effective’
• repeatedly reporting on the mass rape, beating and torture of often underage White girls by gangs of multi-culturally-enriching men usually from our favourite religion

Eva Vlaardingerbroek (if I remember correctly) has been an outspoken critic of mass open-borders immigration and the Islamisation of many European countries. She has already given a speech at one Tommy Robinson rally and was coming to Britain to speak at another Tommy Robinson rally. But Eva won’t be coming to Britain as her travel authorization has been cancelled as Starmer’s government has decided that Eva Vlaardingerbroek’s presence in Britain would not be ‘conducive to the public good’.

You can tell a man by the company he keeps

These are just two recent examples. But they do, I believe, give us an insight into the kind of person Starmer is.

By the way, while we’re on the subject of those Starmer likes to have around, has anybody seen anything about the strange story of a couple of alleged Ukrainian rent boys and alleged arson attacks on a house and car associated with Starmer? I suspect this story has been killed by a ‘super injunction’. A super-injunction is a UK court order that not only blocks the publication of private or confidential information but also forbids reporting on the existence of the injunction itself, creating a complete media blackout on the topic, even preventing journalists from saying a gag order is in place.
