I hate slagging my country off, especially anything to do with its army. My family has a fairly military background, as do many. But I’m well past believing our politicians can be trusted with our armed services, especially (but not exclusively) Labour ones. And double especially those who are ‘Human Rights Lawyers’, with a track record for persecuting soldiers who fought terrorism in Northern Ireland (where my brother served as an infantry officer) and elsewhere, to line their own pockets.
And now Starmer has promised billions in free weapons to Ukraine and our nuclear capacity to defend Europe - especially Germany, whose new Chancellor has airily assured the German people of this protection, since the Germans can’t be bothered to fund their own defence. A country which deliberately meddled in our own security issues, pouring acid onto the Northern Ireland wounds and blatantly exploiting that to punish Britain, for Brexit. Of course, Tony Blair advised the EU to use this as ‘leverage’ and the Labour party eagerly collaborated in the fiction that the Good Friday Agreement demanded no hard border in Northern Ireland. The EU’s chief negotiator is on camera specifically explaining all this, and how losing Northern Ireland was ‘the price that Britain pays for Brexit’.
Our EU ‘allies’ have shown zero concern for any of our security worries but now want our protection, limited as it is due to chronic defence underfunding. In fact, France deliberately uses the cross-Channel migrant crisis as a weapon and once threatened to blockade the Channel Islands, unless we surrendered our fishing waters. My strong suspicion is that most of our elite - furious over Brexit - were only too willing to be so insulted and were happy to see our security so casually treated.
Starmer and his ilk aren’t offering British lives and cash in defence of this country. They’re doing it for their own faith in (and enrichment by) the ‘international order’ of a globalist liberal fantasy, to stay part of this disastrous grouping. After all, why is Britain giving up the Chagos Islands and paying a country which has no claim to that territory billions for getting them? Because some International court, with no jurisdiction over us, made a suggestion that we should - as advised by Starmer’s Attorney General and his cronies. Apparently that tin-pot court has the power to stop the electromagnetic spectrum working over the Indian Ocean, according to one of the ludicrous justifications given by this government.
Not to mention that Starmer’s government jailed for two years (and in effect killed) a man for shouting at a police dog, whilst one his MPs escaped prison for savagely beating the hell out of a constituent, continuing when the victim was lying on the ground. A better example of our two-tier system is impossible to imagine. No one should doubt that Starmer and his grubby legal chums were behind this latest in a long line of judicial double-standards. That’s their basic commitment to ‘liberal values’.
In truth, they loathe the indigenous white working class of this country with a passion and see them as fodder. Small wonder they’re so eager to send them to fight for a corrupt country against a horrible tyranny. It has nothing to do with any belief in our basic freedoms.
Like many, I’m well aware that Putin is a menace to eastern Europe. But we should think hard about who are friends are, in terms of ever backing us. Poland did precisely nothing - other than join in the EU’s disgusting treatment - during the Brexit negotiations. NATO is a different matter, but what Starmer wants is to assist the EU (a supposed trading block) in forming an army.
Why?
Because Starmer wants to rejoin the EU. He campaigned to rip up the 2016 vote, to ignore the largest democratic decision ever made by the British electorate. So it’s impossible for him to resist a unilateral gesture, posing as some guarantor of European peace, whilst trying to pressurise the USA into being the real power enforcing this.
Without them, it’s all bullshit. It’s painful to say it, but our army couldn’t fill Wembley Stadium. And any British troops who he puts in harm’s way will never come from the progressive left-liberal class - they’ll be from the mostly white working class which Starmer despises. As do all progressives, whatever they claim.
Here’s how patriotic such people are. School kids aren’t taught about Lee Rigby, the British soldier butchered on the streets of London by an Islamist nut-job allowed into this country by Labour. His name is never mentioned. Yet they were subjected to endless propaganda on the death of the American drug-dealer George Floyd, who robbed a pregnant woman by holding a loaded gun to her belly. I witnessed for myself pupils being told nonsense on this criminal’s death, for the drawing of Black Lives Matter posters during lessons.
And who took the knee for George Floyd?



This is about what I expected of this treasonous TRAITOR - why should the UK defend the EU? We voted to leave it, not get wrapped up in the 4th Reich's New Wehrmacht. Let the bloody krauts fund their own defence - what is it with Germany & their constant desire to start wars in the East anyway?
Beautifully said Paul. It’s hard to not see this as another attempt by the liberal elite (Starmer) using this situation as a means of cosying up to the EU and taking what they believe is our “rightful place” paying for Ursula vd’s next crazy ideas. What Starmer and Macron are doing is giving Zelenskyy and Ukraine false hope as Russia will only negotiate with the USA. Releasing frozen Russian funds from London is a very dangerous move which has had almost no coverage as to its consequences so far.
