Keir Starmer told to bring in 'Covid-style' measures to stop rioters
Express Newspapers ^ | Sat, Aug 3, 2024 | Charlie Bradley

A Government advisor has called for Sir Keir Starmer to impose "Covid-style" measures to take back control of the streets of Britain as far-right riots continue.

Baron Walney, John Woodcock, told Times Radio: "I think the government and new ministers will understand the British public will back them in whatever measures they feel is necessary to get this situation under control.

"Hopefully we can see this petering out now over the next few days and the extra effort which is being put on forces being able to have effect.

"But if that isn't the case, I think the British public will back further action from ministers in this emergency to get things under control.

"Back in Covid, they were prepared to back measures that were needed in that situation and I think they would take a similar approach to keeping rioters off the streets now given the scale of damage that has been done to communities."

The statement comes as riots cause chaos in towns and cities across the UK.

The violence has intensified after the Southport stabbing on Monday, where suspect Axel Rudakubana is accused of killing three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.

Misinformation online claimed the suspect in the case had links to Islam. Rudakubana was born in Cardiff. His parents are Christians and heavily involved in their local church.

Since the tragedy in Southport, mosques across the UK have been targeted by far-right groups.

Tommy Robinson, former leader of the English Defence League, has shared the locations of "protests" online and urged his followers to take to the streets this weekend.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer put the police on an emergency footing on Friday.

A government ready to wage war against its own native people to protect and secure globalist and open-borders policies

Its a milestone for a new era.

Rudakubana was born in Cardiff. His parents are Christians . . . .

Maybe they are, perhaps he's not ! As usual the pics in 'papers etc are of a ten year old cherub.

The Southport stabbings seem to have been the last straw.

In such a situation:
what, exactly, are the "benefits" of citizenship?

Petty dictators like to use tanks to suppress an angry citizens. Will Starmer use tanks? The article doesn’t say.

If he does, I hope the tankers all arrange for “breakdowns” on their way to the protests.

(Yeah, I’m just funnin’ a bit here. For now.)

I sure hope they use it against the muslim gangs roaming the streets .....

Amir’s Telegram site reports this...”The British aisle[sic]:
Gangs of Muslims with long sticks roam the big cities shouting “Allah Akbar”.”

Look at what they are not saying. When did the perpetrator convert to Islam?

Fair point. Muslims are quite good at converting the weak-minded. So it doesn’t really matter what religion his parents are. What matters is what the knife guy himself believes.

Imagine the year is 1939 and the President is Joe Biden.

This was the plan from the very beginning. A forever lockdown.

Compliance is eventual death.

Do. Not. Comply.

Nothing about this attack on the young girls makes sense unless this 17-year-old ‘gentlemen’ is loaded up on drugs, or is a psychopath.

I assume that, in this case, “COVID style” does not mean nurses lecturing us on how protesting against racial injustice takes precedence over cowering in fear from the “once in a century” pandemic.

Much of Europe is a powder keg that is kept under control with controlled media, mass Intel and law enforcement, a disarmed citizenry.

People have had enough. That’s why in those aces where they can’t outright restrict the rise of the new right wing parties, these are growing, fast.

People have had enough of the immigration, enough of the control (cameras, borders coming back in Europe...), enough of the attacks on Christianity, LGBTQIAA+, enough of the globalism and attacks on ones culture, lockdowns and Covid restrictions...

These clowns in government don’t get it!

They’re playing with matches.
