Starmer’s Britain is descending into anarcho-tyranny
The Telegraph ^ | 03 September 2025 | Richard Baker

Posted on 09/03/2025 2:59:34 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Britain, once the freest, most democratic country in the world, is descending into anarcho-tyranny. Bereft of a moral compass, contemptuous of public opinion, uninterested in our glorious history of ordered freedom, the British state’s nomenklatura are presiding over an intolerable mix of chaos and authoritarianism, failing to tackle genuine criminality while persecuting respectable citizens for their thoughts and speech.

The contradictions, double-standards and selective enforcement are a national scandal. They threaten to turn us into a pariah state, shunned or even sanctioned by true believers in liberty.

Nigel Farage was in Washington, explaining to shocked Anglophile congressmen just how far we have turned our back on free speech, and yet even the Reform leader couldn’t fully convey in one session the full extent of Britain’s degeneration.

If you are a shoplifter, an illegal immigrant, a ne’er-do-well pretending to be disabled to claim benefits or a “petty criminal” no longer deemed worthy of prison, you have little to fear in anarchical Britain, where there is little money and limited policing resources to come after you. If you are a responsible pillar of the community exercising your traditional right to free speech, and have forthright or anti-woke views, you risk trouble from the commissars of authoritarian Britain, who suddenly have endless capacity to track you down, monitor your public and private messages and detain you.

The case of Graham Linehan, the Father Ted creator, was especially shocking: he was arrested by five armed police officers at Heathrow, interrogated over innocuous gender-critical tweets and ended up in hospital with elevated blood pressure. This is what happens in police-states, not civilised countries.

I think he became PM as a reward for sitting on the rape scandal files as chief prosecutor of the Chief prosecutor service.

Father Ted is a British sitcom about the misadventures of three exiled Irish Roman Catholic priests—the well-meaning but often foolish Father Ted Crilly, the utterly dim-witted Father Dougal, and the perpetually drunk, swearing Father Jack—who live on the remote, fictional Craggy Island with their devoted, tea-obsessed housekeeper, Mrs Doyle. The show follows their chaotic lives filled with absurd situations and surreal events, often stemming from Ted’s attempts to control his incompetent companions and the island’s eccentric inhabitants.

Small clip from the Father Ted show. Less than 3 minutes. Nice humor about racism.

Oh how things change... with enough time.

The ultimate irony is... the Brits could really use some tips from the Yanks to teach them how to bring off a proper rebellion against the tyranny. First tip would be... don’t let them disarm ya.

The Brits have actually had about 4 civil wars over who should be running the government.

Instead of the police in the UK protecting the public from violent criminals, they spend their limited resources on arresting comedians for social media posts!

Shame, shame, shame!

Give them the white feather of craven cowardice.

British humor link below, posted on Dr. Malone's Substack. The Brit who performs this clever satirical song deserves a medal. Instead, this was banned from YouTube, and he has been getting death threats. I suspect he will be prosecuted by the authorities as well.

“”The Brits have actually had about 4 civil wars over who should be running the government.””

It’s a shame that after all that history, they chose to descend into communism via socialism, the camel nose in the tent (named Keir). But the turmoil is understandable since they morphed from royal leaders to royal pains for leaders. And the only thing that ‘reigns’ in the UK now, besides tyranny, is confusion and chaos.

Here’s a theory: The complete destruction of social order in England, is the elite’s revenge for Brexit. Also a pretext for reversing it.

I’ve always admired the British culture and history; my ancestors came from the UK.

I still admire the average Brit and his history and culture, but I wouldn’t set foot in the UK now. It’s become stupid, and monstrous in its repression.
