Sir Keir and the unmentionables

Tuesday blog

I’m afraid I didn’t watch more than 5 seconds of our great leader’s supposed ‘reset’ speech yesterday. I just can’t stand the man because I know he’s just a vacuous, lying, self-serving PoS. I did see three of the questions put to him by our mainstream media before I switched that off too.

But I got the impression that all we were watching was a kind of ‘danse macabre’ in which Starmer and the media played a well-practised game where Starmer pretended to answer the concerns of voters and the media pretended to hold him to account. But neither Starmer nor the media actually mentioned the issues people were concerned about.

According to the Office for National Statistics, these are the main concerns of the public:

• the cost of living (88%)
• the NHS (86%)
• the economy (71%)
• immigration (60%)
• crime (58%)
• housing (55%)

From what I understand Starmer waffled on about delivering the changes people elected Labour to deliver. And Starmer’s main solution to these concerns was “putting Britain back at the heart of Europe”. Starmer made no mention of:

• Cost of Living (88%) – Sir Keir the Noble made no mention of scrapping Mad Ed Miliband’s crazed Net Zero crusade which is the main reason the cost of living is so high as Miliband is asphyxiating businesses and households with the highest energy prices in the developed world. And no ‘journalist’ questioning Starmer made any mention of Miliband’s economically-suicidal Net Zero
• NHS (86%) – Sir Keir the Great didn’t tell us what he was going to practically do to change the dismal performance of our collapsing NHS which was partly to do with the fact that almost a million people – mainly Third-worlders, many with greater medical needs than the average Brit – have arrived into Britain each year for at least the last ten years. And no ‘journalist’ questioning Starmer made any mention of the catastrophic pressure put on the NHS by about 10 million Third-worlders invading Britain over the last decade
• The Economy (71%) – Sir Keir the Wise avoided explaining how it was his new taxes on jobs (NI increases), minimum wage increases, workers’ rights legislation and crushingly-high energy prices which were destroying businesses, increasing unemployment and pushing Britain into recession. And no ‘journalist’ questioning Starmer made any mention Labour’s growth-asphyxiating policies
• Immigration (60%) – Davos man Starmer seems to have forgotten his promises to “smash the evil people-smuggling gangs” and “stop the boats“. And no ‘journalist’ questioning Starmer asked when Labour would be stopping the boats and smashing the evil people-smuggling gangs
• Crime (58%) – I’m not sure Starmer made any mention of how Labour was going to reduce crime. In fact, under Labour criminals have been let out of jail early, jail has been scrapped for any offences meriting less than one year and shoplifting has been effectively decriminalised. And no ‘journalist’ questioning Starmer made any mention of Britain’s rapidly rising levels of crime and the Labour Government’s failure to do anything about this
• Housing (55%) – I’m not sure Starmer gave any time to discussing why Labour was failing to deliver its promise to build 300,000 new homes a year – one and half million over the course of this parliament – and what he was going to do to correct this failure. And no ‘journalist’ questioning Starmer made any mention of Labour’s failure to deliver the housing it promised. And, of course, no ‘journalist’ asked how much of the new housing would go to British citizens and how much to migrants (legal and illegal)

There seems to me to be a tacit agreement between our politicians and mainstream media to avoid discussion of any of the thorny issues which actually concern British voters. Instead we get this absurd, almost ritualist ‘danse macabre’ where politicians pretend to deliver what the public wants while actually completely ignoring voters’ concerns and mainstream media ‘journalists’ pretend to hold politicians to account while actually avoiding asking ‘difficult’ or ‘uncomfortable’ questions.

Are we being gaslit? Yes we most certainly are!
