Starmer's Southport Speech. Reading Between The Lines.

Having heard Starmer's speech today, I can say straight away, he is not in the least bit sorry. In fact I would think he is pretty irritated at having to make such a speech, in order to deflect attention away from his role in the response to the Stabbing attack.

The first part is, he is the Prime Minister. It would not jeopardise any impending court case if he labelled the stabber as a terrorist. It would not have affected his court case if the details of finding Ricin and terror-related documents had been released.

And still the charges against him did not involve terror legislation, but instead involved Biological weapons legislation instead. Despite the clear evidence.

This was a calculated decision in order to try and quell dissatisfaction with government policy and the so-called riots across the country.

So, let's go to the aftermath. Starmer hints that the Stabber could not and still can't be labelled a terrorist because: law. Which is complete bollocks, as other attacks have instantly been labelled terrorist in nature straight after the attack. And, this case could have been labelled a terrorist incident as soon as the Ricing and ISIS manuals had been discovered. 

Starmer says he will look at changing the law so that such incidents can be classed as terrorist in nature. 

Sure, you've heard the phrase "Never let a good crisis go to waste" haven't you? 

I expect Starmer will bring in legislation to widen the definition of terrorist, not to encompass lone-wolf Islamic extremists, but instead to include his current bogeyman: the far-right. 

I predict that laws will be widened to include ordinary people criticising the government, from whatever platform, including mouthing off in the pub. Also criticism of Islam will be included, here come the blasphemy laws. Also pointing out that the majority of terrorists are Muslim will be outlawed. 

Starmer also hinted at the availability of extremist information online. So, I also predict a censorship of the internet. American platforms that advocate free speech, especially Elon Musk's X, will be denied access to the UK unless they heavily censor. Which Elon won't do. 

I predict a move to a government-approved, heavily censored platform a-la the Chinese model. 

Starmer is an authoritarian Marxist, his nature is not to accept criticism, his nature is to crush it. And from his carefully chosen words today, reading between the lines, I do not like what I hear.
