Keir Starmer confronts far-right extremism crisis in UK
The Hill ^ | 08/09/2024 | Imran Khalid

Posted on 08/09/2024 7:50:10 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Just over a month into his tenure, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government is facing an extremely serious crisis.

After spending 14 years in opposition, the Labour government now finds itself dealing with a volatile mix of insecurity, immigration issues and right extremism — three highly contentious elements in today’s political landscape. Far right riots have erupted in England and Northern Ireland over the week targeting immigrants through disturbing displays of anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiments fueled by misinformation circulating on social media.

The outbreak of violence occurred after a knife attack at a dance club in Southport, northwest England, which resulted in the deaths of three young girls on July 29. False reports began circulating that the perpetrator of the Southport attack was a 17-year-old migrant who had entered the UK illegally. This misinformation quickly spread online, inaccurately portraying the attacker as an immigrant and framing the incident as an act of terrorism.

“Far right” means refusing to sacrifice your young daughters on the bloody alter of globohomo.

“far right” is code word for “MAGA”-—with no proof whatsoever! Journalism is a thing of the past-—

To them, “far right” is anyone who complains/protests about being stabbed, beaten, raped, molested, etc...

Keir Starmer confronts patriotic far-right extremism crisis in UK, while backing friendly, wholesome, mostly peaceful, Islamic demonstrations.

But has nothing to say about far Muslim extremism or pro Hamas extremism or any extremism other than regular Brits trying, belatedly, to take their country back.

Not when those same Islamic demonstrators attack Jews or Israel.

Sir Keir Starmer condemns ‘people who hate Jews’ demonstrating against Israel

The protestors are ordinary, everyday patriotic British people who have been betrayed by the FAR LEFT.
The UK has lost its identity, which is odd coming from people who rose to power on identity politics.
Starmer is a typical, empty-headed left wing apparatchik, with no redeeming qualities.
I don’t think he’ll survive the 5 years as PM.
Maybe not even 5 weeks.

Like Soviet-led communism before it, Islam in the West accepts globohomo, LGBTQ, etc... as useful idiots, who will help demoralize and divide western society

Once Islam is in charge, LGBTQ is getting thrown off the highest building.

No written constitution which puts in place the freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.

My kinfolk whose last name I proudly beat left England a bit before 1800.

They got out while the getting was good.

Nigel Farage should be PM right now, but all the left-leaning parties colluded to stop a right-leaning movement from taking power. Instead, Labour took over, and is running the country without a popular mandate. Street protests from disenfranchised citizens is the result.

Question: How come Imran Khalid and The Hill never talk about far-Left extremism?

Answer: Because they’re part of far-Left extremism brought about by Obama.

To the far Left, anything patriotic that stands for the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended is extreme.

To the far Left, the love and fight for freedom from tyranny is extreme.

Our fight against Far Left extremism is a fight against YOU Imran Khalid and The Hill.

He can mouth and condemn anything he wants - words are cheap.

Who does he deploy law enforcement against? That's the tell.

Note that the parents from Rwanda were in all likelihood Hootis (sp? couldn’t care less). All H— males were personally involved in the slaughter of the Tootsies( sp?, ibid) since the gov’mt rounded up everyone in the cities and villages, gave them machetes, and told them to murder.
What kind of home life did this murdering little TWOT have?

His hatred is a product of his culture, a culture that the Brits’ Tory political parties (Tory and others) gleefully imported. Why? To dilute the political power of the non-globalist elitists.
