Britain will ‘never surrender flag’ to far-right protesters, Starmer says

Britain will “never surrender” to far-right protesters who use the English flag as cover for violence and to instil fear, Keir Starmer has said, condemning attacks against police officers and racist harassment.

The prime minister said the St George’s flag “represents our diverse country” and he would not tolerate people being “intimidated on our streets because of their background or the colour of their skin”.

MPs and anti-fascist groups had urged the prime minister to speak up against some of the rhetoric of the largest nationalist protest in decades, organised by the far-right activist Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.

The pressure on Downing Street to be more proactive in defence of diversity came after 10 days of widespread dissatisfaction from MPs over the handling of Angela Rayner’s resignation, the ensuing reshuffle and the sacking of the US ambassador, Peter Mandelson, over links to Jeffrey Epstein.

If you have ever wondered what it meant for God to harden Pharaoh’s heart, this is a clear example.

Our Declaration of Independence is on numerous websites, if the English people want to borrow some text from it in declaring independence from the totalitarian regime they are now under.

Nah, very useful man. Just not to the British people.

Watched this online. They rally goers had a route they were suppose to use to leave. The police took them down another street right into counter protesters. The rally goers wanted to leave but were blocked by the police.

I have to wonder how many millions have to be on the right before it isn’t called “far” anymore...

The name calling by the European establishment is just ridiculous. They keep parroting “far right” over and over, not being original enough to choose a different pejorative term.

The British government has already surrendered their flag to any minority that claims they are offended by it.

So, they no longer have custody of the flag anyway.

If the British decide to go full-on French Revolution, I wouldn’t want to be that commie.

Over a million people show up for a patriotic peaceful rally carrying British Flags, the government then sends in maybe 2 dozen provocateurs to stir things up and Starmer labels the entire march violent Nazis.

If all those marching yesterday in the UK had been violent, London would have been set on fire and probably still burning.

There he goes again. Defending the exactly wrong kind of people. Come on, Keir. I thought you were smarter than that.
Or, are you a Made Man? Someone bought and paid for in certain ways.
