Liberal UK PM Starmer Doubles Down on Border Security After His Party Let the UK Be Overrun by Migrants
Townhall ^ | May 14, 2025 | Madeline Leesman

Leah covered yesterday how United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer avowed to secure the country’s borders.

“A one nation experiment in open borders, conducted on a country that voted for control,” Starmer said on Monday. “Well, no more. Today, this Labour government is shutting down the lab. The experiment is over. We will deliver what you asked for time and again, and we will take back control of our borders”

"Every area of the immigration system — work, family, and study — will be tightened up so we have more control,’’ Starmer said. “We will create a system that is controlled, selective and fair,” he added.

...

On X, Starmer added, “Settlement in the UK is a privilege that is earned, not a right.”

...

On Wednesday, Starmer doubled down on his stance.

“Mark my words: I will take back control of our borders,” he wrote on X. “That means cutting migration, ending the use of asylum hotels, and ramping up our efforts to stop small boat crossings.”

“We will smash the people smuggling gangs at source,” he continued.

Sorry people, but it’s a BRILLIANT PIVOT by Stammer. The bottom line is that the ‘Conservatives’ in the UK would not do jack about their ever-increasing Third World immigration, thus leaving the field WIDE OPEN for anyone, be it Farage, or be it the Liberals, to move in start talking crackdown. Will he see it through - maybe he will. The UK already is well beyond the number of migrants to assure population replacement in the coming few generations, so maybe it’s Mission Accomplished there for the Globalists (both parties).

...but Trump needs to be careful, as the Democrats could do the same here, and possibly flip on the war in Ukraine. As Trump continues into that swamp, I would not put it past the Democrats to do EXACTLY what they did with Vietnam, which was a complete 180 degree flip - and oppose the war that they started in Ukraine - leaving Trump hanging out to dry with part of his base moving back to the Democrats.

We’ll see.

How many dinghy boats have been stopped?

It’s not hard. They all come from the closest point to France, a few miles of the English Channel. It’s ABSURD to think that, between the French and British naval forces, that these geniuses are outsmarting everyone.

I even saw a media report claiming how the French ‘usually slash the boats’ when they see them. Really? Because the French are so concerned about keeping these migrants IN FRANCE???

It’s INSANE to accept them under the ‘refugee status’ when they’ve already traveled through few western EU countries that can provide safe heaven. In reality, they’re more than happy to shepherd them on. Yet these ‘refugees’ have no women and children. This is TREASON against the British people, especially the working class.

The media are the enemy, creating one perverted and sick delusion of ‘reality’.

Kind of like closing the barn door after the horse has escaped.

Cheap talk by Starmer after the Reform Party slapped around Labour in the recent elections. This is all for public consumption. Starmer is as far left as they come and he’ll look for opportunities to implement the Great Replacement as he has the opportunity.

“What is the difference between immigrants and migrants?”

Migrants are colonizers.

one way is to require arrivals to publicly commit to loyalty to the King, be baptised Christian, and disavow/forsaken all other political systems and religions.

(wouldn’t be extremist in prior centuries but would put off most newer mobs.)

——one way is to require arrivals to publicly commit to loyalty to the King——

That very requirement in 1775 led to the defeat of the Cherokee Red Coat surrogates at the battles of Island Flats and Sycamore Shoals in Colonial Virginia and NC.

With due respect to this reporter, Labor wasn’t in charge for the past decade, the Tories were. The “Conservative” Party kept the borders wide open. Labor was happy to play along but no one should pretend that they created this mess.

Meanwhile, also from the UK...

Buckinghamshire Disability Service BuDS
@BuDs_UK

Our member, a care home manager, was asked today to estimate how many disabled residents might be eligible for medically-assisted suicide under the Leadbeater bill and how many places might be freed-up if the option was ‘assertively marketed’. Is this the future you want?

Per the author, the person asking the question was the group’s finance director.

It's been that way for a while. This is from 2008...

Tony Blair started the current crisis because it was going to benefit his party politically.

Then the Tories took over. They said they'll stop the boats. But they never did. They did leave the EU. So that was one good thing. But it's not enough.

Yes, socialism/Marxism owns the UK and much of the EU, already. I wonder if Ol’ Baroness offed herself, yet?

Baroness Warnock died of old age in 2019.

She was 94.

Another case of euthanasia for thee, but not for me.
