Britain has been alarmed by China’s curbing of civil freedoms in Hong Kong... Herr Starmer, on the other hand, has been very curious about it...
To: MinorityRepublican
I thought he was too busy jailing British citizens for Facebook posts.

This is about $$$$, Starmer needs money. The entire island is an economic basket case thanks to The Zelensky Shakedown.

Walz can open a few doors for Starmer’s ambition.

“ Britain has been alarmed by China’s curbing of civil freedoms in Hong Kong”
The arrogance of the UK knows no bounds.

Would love to know what Elizabeth would have said to Starmer in a private meeting.

Does herr starmer want pointers on how to deal with recalcitrant citizens and how best to further subjugate the populace in general?

There’s only been one Labour party leader who’s managed to hoodwink the UK into thinking that he was a centrist... That was Tony Blair.
Starmer is a left of center loony who will do his best to destroy the UK for the next 4 or 5 years... He knows his term is one and done, so whatever damage he’s going to do needs to be done asap, and with as much malice as he can heap upon it.
The UK Conservative party needs to return to being Conservative, and weed out the left of center interlopers who pretend to be Conservative.

You could change a few words in your post and be talking about America :)
Unfortunately.
Except our loonies seem to win second terms.

This is about $$$$, Starmer needs money. The entire island is an economic basket case thanks to The Zelensky Shakedown. The primary responsibility of any government (any good government) is to act in the best interest of its citizens - not to curry favor from the international 'community'. There are times when sacrifices have to be made in order to do the right thing morally and to ensure stability down the road. That said, those conversations should be taken to the populace and a case made. That's not the way things have been done.

I bet Xi trusts Starmer less than I would.
But, they both want total control over social media and to be in charge of the "Thought Police" so maybe they might have something in common.

Starmer should import 23 million Chinese into the UK just to show he is their good friend.

Meaning he wants to ramp up Britains surveillance police state.
