Starmer’s Absurd Idea of Introducing a Law Criminalising Islamophobia

MARK ALEXANDER: This country needs no Islamophobia law. There is nothing phobic about fearing Islam. A phobia is an irrational fear. There is nothing irrational about fearing Islam. For starters, it wants to take over the country. Muslims believe that the country will eventually belong to them. Each country it has been allowed into to put down roots, it has eventually taken over. Further, I can think of only one country where this process has been reversed: Al Andalus, or Moorish Spain. It should be noted that it took the Spaniards 800 years to expel the Moors!

Further, the ‘religion’ — more accurately the ‘way of life’ — has some abysmal practices such as killing homosexuals, killing apostates, stoning women to death for disobedience, treating women unequally, stoning people to death for godlessness, etc. The list of transgressions and wicked punishments goes on and on.

So why, exactly, should this country adopt a law outlawing Islamophobia? Until Islam is reformed — which will never happen because it is believed that the words in the Qur’an are the actual words of Allah! — and until Islam becomes enlightened, until Islam stops being supremacist, until Islam gives up its desire to impose the Shari’ah, we would be crazy not to fear it! Ergo, no law outlawing Islamophobia has any place in a modern, progressive country such as the United Kingdom.

Can Brexit Be Reset? Keir Starmer and the EU

Sep 27, 2024 | Federal Trust Chair John Stevens argues that Sir Keir Starmer will find it difficult to secure any meaningful "reset" in relations between the EU and UK. Starmer is, according to John Stevens, excessively concerned with appeasing the anti-European element of traditional Labour voters. He should confront rather than try to appease such sentiments.

SPEAKERS

Brendan Donnelly is the Director of the Federal Trust and a former Conservative MEP.
John Stevens is the Chair of the Federal Trust and an analyst and commentator on economic affairs.

Rosie Duffield Resigns as Labour MP with Scathing attack on Keir Starmer’s Leadership

THE OBSERVER: Politician cites ‘cruel and unnecessary policies’ as she lambasts prime minister’s ‘managerial and technocratic approach’

A Labour MP has resigned from the parliamentary party after criticising Keir Starmer’s “cruel and unnecessary” policies and lambasting the prime minister’s “managerial and technocratic approach” to politics.

In a furious letter announcing her decision, Rosie Duffield, the Canterbury MP, said she felt relief in making the decision. She said the row over freebies handed to Starmer and his top team demonstrated that “sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale”.

It is thought that it is the fastest an MP has given up their party’s whip after an election in modern times. While Duffield had been vocal in her opposition to Starmer on several occasions, the fury of her departure will serve as a further blow to the prime minister amid criticisms of his early months in Downing Street. » | Michael Savage, Policy editor | Saturday, September 28, 2024

Drunk on Authoritarianism

SP!KED: Starmer’s crackdown on pubs reveals the megalomania of the technocrats.

Sometimes I think we need to retire the phrase nanny state. It has its uses. It’s a good shorthand. People know what you mean when you say it. But it rather downplays the activities of the control freaks and megalomaniacs who are hell bent on dictating how we should all live our lives. It makes them sound almost quaint, and ultimately benevolent.

The truth is quite the opposite. You do not need to be the sort who hysterically compares sugar taxes to something out of North Korea to realise that the preoccupation of the 21st-century state with policing what we eat, drink and do in our private time speaks to a depth of authoritarianism that is not at all normal – and upstream from more potent flavours of authoritarianism.

Logically speaking, if we are not to be trusted to dine unchaperoned, why should we be allowed to think, speak, even vote, for ourselves? There’s a reason why the same people who want to punish you for what you stick in your gob also want to punish you for what comes out of it.

Well, those people now run the country, it seems. Not only has this new Labour government embraced lifestyle despotism with a remarkable zeal – with plans to ban smoking in beer gardens, ban junk-food ads and weigh people at their workplaces already being announced – it has clearly emboldened all the joyless nags and bores of the ‘public health’ blob, too.

Labour is now floating the idea of curtailing licensing hours. Public-health minister Andrew Gwynne – apparently displeased that only 50 pubs a month are closing down at the moment – told the Labour Party conference this week that it’s time to consider ‘tightening up on some of the hours of operation’. » | Tom Slater, Editor | Wednesday, September 25, 2024

Who wants to be weighed in the workplace?: ‘Health MoTs’ for middle-aged men are the latest harebrained scheme from Starmer’s nanny state. »

Starmer’s One-party State | David Starkey

Jul 31, 2024 | What does Keir Starmer actually want? The UK’s new Labour prime minister is usually described as moderate, pragmatic and non-ideological. Here, historian and broadcaster David Starkey argues that this is an illusion. Starmer, Starkey explains, is a fierce anti-democrat. He wants to transfer power from the UK’s elected parliament to unelected bodies, from the courts to the civil service to the quangos. His party will establish the supremacy of the ‘Blob’, all while cracking down hard on free speech. Our democracy and liberty are in peril.

EU to Offer New Youth Mobility Scheme in Test of Labour ‘Reset’ with Brussels

THE GUARDIAN: Officials warn repeat of Tory rejection could dent new government’s hopes of pacts on defence and agriculture

Fresh proposals to allow young people to move between the UK and the EU will be presented to the British government within weeks, in what is seen as a key early test of Labour’s “reset” in relations with Brussels.

Informed sources say the first draft of a new version of Ursula von der Leyen’s April proposal has already been discussed by member states and will be put to a working group in Brussels next week. » | Kiran Stacey and Lisa O'Carroll | Friday, September 20, 2024

“He’s Really Bad at This”: Tom Slater Slams “Useless” Starmer

What Starmer and ISIS Have in Common

That ridiculous man, Sunak, proposed a generational smoking ban. The even more ridiculous, and certainly more authoritarian, Starmer is determined to follow through on it. I have a suggestion: Instead of banning the smoking of cigarettes, one of life's greatest day-to-day pleasures for many, why don’t we ban Starmer instead? Five years of Starmer at the helm is going to be a great deal more injurious to my health than smoking cigarettes ever could be and certainly more injurious to my health than the inhalation of passive smoke from other smokers’ cigarettes! The very notion of passive smoking is ridiculous and unproven anyway; the notion of passive smoking al fresco is totally and utterly absurd. Only a nincompoop could come up with such a ridiculous concept! — © Mark Alexander

Starmer’s Killjoy State

Sep 18, 2024 | Banning smoking in beer gardens. Banning ‘junk food’ advertising. Weighing people at work. The UK’s new Labour government is putting the ‘nanny state’ on steroids. Worst of all, it’s already committed to bringing in the total prohibition of cigarettes – a move that will upend our liberties and fuel the black market. Here, Tom Slater explains why this obsession with policing our lifestyles has nothing to do with public health and everything to do with pushing ordinary people around. This is about the ruling classes forcing their own miserable ways on the rest of us, while blithely ignoring the disastrous consequences of their authoritarianism.

One can but despise Starmer. This man is the closest leader this country has ever had to the man history knows as Der Führer!
