When is an MP going to find the balls to ask about the shape of Starmer’s family. This raging hypocrite who was the first to shriek about the rotter Johnson should be held to the same standard for his inability to keep it in his trousers. Every time I see Starmer’s dead eyes I feel physically sick.

Do we know that he can’t keep it in his trousers? When I look at him I get the exact opposite impression, and wonder if he really is his sons father. Starmer always seems to have this odd expression on his face, as if he’s wearing womens underwear and it’s been riding up too high

Actually thinking about it, this would explain why he was raging about Boris’ multiple children so much. Starmer viewed Boris as an example of masculinity which only served to highlight his own lack thereof

It’s pretty credible there is a birth certificate etc and the mother is well known in labour party circles.

As Kathy Gyngell makes clear in this article we are now creating a class of political prisoners which should be not just upsetting but extremely worrying for all of us.

“WHILE IT’S been another good week for TCW it’s been an appalling one for freedom and justice in the UK – the freedom on which we once prided ourselves and for which so many people over the centuries have suffered or lost their lives – from Magna Carta, through Wat Tyler, Martin Luther, Latimer and Ridley (burnt at the stake for their beliefs), Thomas Paine, William Cobbett, John Wilkes, the Chartists, to name but some. If Tommy Robinson is sent to Belmarsh on Monday he will be the latest in the line of martyrs to this cause.

His arrest on Saturday, as one member of the small TCW team put it to me, marks the end of civil society. If ever there was a set of trumped-up charges this one will go down in legal history. He has been charged with terror offences for failing to provide his phone password.

The Conservatives took us on this path to repression. I used to call it the imposition of woke orthodoxy. That was kind. They did more than preside over a rapid diminution of our freedoms culminating in Lockdown. By their hate and online hate legislation they silenced public debate about the impact of their extreme immigration policy (which the invisible Yvette Cooper has since made no attempt to stop, the reverse in fact). It was under the Tories that migrant hostels housing preponderantly young males from Africa and the Middle East were inflicted on communities around the country. The fearful Tories also in the same way stifled any public critique of Islam, though, in its fundamentalist form, it is frighteningly antithetical to political freedom, freedom of belief and tolerance – all once integral western values.”

It is difficult not to disagree with Kathy.

😂 “Face, bovvered?” Actually there is something of the Angela Raynor in Catherine’s character, I think. But who would play Vicki Pollard? 🤭 Anyway, I concur. I’m not in the slightest bit bothered.
The way I see it, whether you’re talking about UK or US politics, there’s both sexes on both main parties and both sexes voting for them. It doesn’t matter the percentage split, what matters is it’s both male and female choosing a side, period. There’s no need to over-think this , it’s a no-brainer.
I couldn’t believe how many celebrities ( lots whom I don’t recognise, as they must be just famous in America ) are endorsing Harris. It’s depressing and tragic. 😕 But the basic fact is these celebs are a mix of both men and women, which means her policies appeal to both sexes, when you’re an out and out woketard Lefty, anyways.
Same as if you look at footage from a Harris rally and a Trump rally. Same will translate across to British politics, or anywhere else for that matter. This is the reality, which the sh*t-stirrers who want to reduce everything down to a blame game or male vs female issue, find hard to acknowledge. People are individuals, no matter what angle you’re coming from or how you want to spin the facts to suit your bias.

So how to square this circle? The logic is clear. There can only be one next leader of Labour.

Eddie Izzard!

Hmm. it seemed so obvious until I wrote the words.

Amusing. One flaw: Starmer is a woman, an old hag, a trull.

Here’s another dirty little secret. The breakdown of how many paedophiles face judicial proceedings by ethnicity.

The results may shock. Well probably not.

I wonder if it’s a result of feminism? White men shrivel at the thought of a confident woman?
Pity if so, because the feminism I espouse doesn’t hate men – just wants an equal share of stuff and fair access to opportunities.

I like men who know they are men and there’s no greater turn- off than someone who cravenly capitulates to big-mouths. The ultimate yuk is the weirdo who wants to wear our knickers and become one of us.
In this article as in everything, it’s easiest just to blame women when everything goes wrong.

I like to see them in the face nappies. They all wore them and voted for them. We should never forget that.

If I was a betting man I would put a bet on Angela Rayner as the next Labour Leader and Prime Minister, propelled by the backing of some parts of the Labour movement. Probably early next year as Starmer implodes.

Of course the whole of Labour may implode and then who knows…

Yet another interesting article by this frequent DS columnist.
I wonder if one of his future themes will be the Ottoman Empire (1299 – 1922) and possible reparations for the millions of its European victims over centuries, with a special chapter on slave trade. He is after all well placed for a thorough search.

Fundamentally, Left wing politics is a war against reality.
Net Zero is a war against physics, thermodynamics, engineering and economics.
“Human Rights” is a war against the rule of law.
“Tax and spend” is a war against arithmetic
