Crime and No Punishment: Starmer’s Red Dawn 

by Dr Roger Watson
21 August 2024 9:00 AM

Keir Starmer must be remarkably stupid or remarkably brazen if he thinks that the British public cannot work out what he is up to. Perhaps he is both brazen and stupid.

Operation Early Dawn, announced this week, will involve keeping prisoners waiting for court appearances in police cells for longer to make room for the nearly 1000 ‘far-Right’ protesters arrested in the wake of the protests and riots on August 3rd this year. This comes on top of over 5000 prisoners being released almost as soon as the Labour Government assumed power to ease overcrowding in prison.

Referred to by one writer as ‘crime and no punishment’, reference was made at that time by the Justice Secretary with the quintessentially English name of Shaban Mahmood to the ‘inevitable’ overcrowding by September. Conspiracy theories ought to be avoided, but I cannot be alone in thinking that the Government was preparing for August 3rd.

Here at the New Conservative we have been at pains to indicate that we do not condone violent protest. It is counterproductive, people get hurt and people get arrested. But how many of those arrested over the events on August 3rd were involved in vandalism, violence or even incitement to hatred or violence? All of them according to the Government.

Yet we hear reports of people simply caught watching the riots being considered to be committing a crime, and people shouting at the police likewise. That, and some awful people who seemed genuinely upset that their town centres were being taken over by young, male, Muslim asylum seekers, and were not afraid to express themselves.

Meantime, on a weekly basis, thousands of headscarved hooligans descend on almost every city centre calling for genocide against Israel, displaying logos of an explicitly antisemitic kind and intimidating any passers-by who provoke them by being ‘openly Jewish’ (an expression invented, incidentally, by the rigidly ‘single-tier’ Metropolitan Police). Few, if any, arrests have been made. It is clearly one law for us and no law for them.

In some inner cities groups of immigrants of various hues and religions who claim to have fled violence and destruction knock ten bells out of each other with impunity, Muslims throw stones at passers-by from an Islamic centre in Hull and members of the Romanian Caravan Club riot and burn cars in Leeds. The only arrest to date is a lady who asked the police, who up to that point had been enjoying her mugs of tea, why they were not arresting anyone. She experienced single-tier policing at its finest.

Others have been arrested and hefty prison sentences already handed down to many who, as opposed to rioting and vandalism, used hurty words on Twitter, re-tweeted film of the riots (which the BBC seemed only too happy to broadcast in the first place) and generally explained that they could understand people’s frustration at mass immigration, both legal and illegal. We can thank our lucky Starmers that these vile people are off the streets. Lord only knows how upset they would be or what they would do if they bumped into an immigrant rapist who had been given a suspended sentence or, in fact, any rapist who was not even being sent to jail to make room for proper criminals guilty of the ultimate crime of being labelled ‘far-Right’.

But back to Operation Early Dawn. The fact that prisons are being cleared and that fewer potential criminals are being sent there on remand means that legal eagle Sir Kier Starmer and his associates have already adjudged that those arrested in the wake of August 3rd are guilty. Our Government has become judge, jury and executioner of anyone who has the audacity to express their opposition to the main plank of their policy to bring the U.K. to its financial, social and cultural knees – that of unrestricted immigration.

Predictions are dangerous, but this present situation in which we find ourselves cannot continue. Elon Musk’s claims of civil war may be exaggerated; it is to be hoped that they are, and that he is doing nothing to encourage that. But Starmer, for whom very few voted in the first place, has alienated most voters now. We may not be lucky enough to see an early General Election. Labour will not make the same mistake as Theresa May and put their lack of popularity to the test. The Conservatives (remember them?) seem to have left the building.

Our only hope is Reform, who must do what they can to coalesce the other minority parties with similar views – principally on immigration – around them and sweep the board at the next opportunity. To do otherwise will be a dereliction of duty.

I do not condone violent protest. It is counterproductive, people get hurt and people get arrested

It’s exactly this mindset, that the globalists have seen, which plays perfectly into their hands. It is coming. If that there is no doubt. We either revolt and stand a tiny, miniscule, chance, or we do nothing, and stand zero chance. Yes, maybe by doing something it’ll come sooner. So be it, at least people will see it for what it is which, again, gives a miniscule chance. This idea of polite protest changing their direction of travel is batshit crazy.

Mass civil disobedience conquered the Berlin wall. A part of that was arguably that the then-ruler of the USSR no longer wanted to send tanks in whenever the people of one of the Russian satellites states felt like kicking against the pricks but without them actually doing this, the iron curtain wouldn’t have fallen.

On the plus side the UK only has a handful of working tanks and very few troops to operate them, even assuming that they would move against the majority population in the first place.

I’m not sure whether we’re agreeing or disagreeing, but the Berlin Wall didn’t fall because people signed some petitions and politely walked in groups. The Berlin Wall fell because the masses on both sides of the wall could visibly see an actual wall that divided their people. Nightly battles raged between the people and the increasingly tired and sympathetic government forces that manned the wall. Lives were lost. Like I said, it is coming; all we can do is choose how to receive what we do not want.

This is nonsense. Disturbance in the GDR in 1989 started with the Monday Marches church groups organized in Leipzig, popular slogan “Wir sind das Volk!” (“We are the people!”) and with growing numbers of GDR citiziens holidaying in the CSSR seeking asylum in the FRG embassy and camping on the lawn there. No battles raged and no lives were lost. After this had been going on for some time, the authorities chose to open their border and let these people through into the FRG, this being the first officially sanctionend breach of the Iron Curtain since it had been erected. Relatively shortly afterwards, rumours spread in Berlin that the wall had been opened including spreading to the border personnel. Thousands of people thus simply started marching there with the intent to go to West Berlin. Because of the rumours, the border troops were unsure what to do and let these people past until the trickle had become a stream they couldn’t have stopped anymore even if they had chosen to try. They thus wisely just stayed put and the outcome was an open air party on the wall itself and in the surrounding area. At this point, Honecker asked Gorbachev to intervene militarily to put this genie back into the bottle which he refused. Finis.

Maybe we will thank Islam for pointing out the error of our ways – after all, we’ve brought this upon ourselves, through the desire of many to signal virtue…

Can somebody call the misogyny police, now?? This lady is officially awesome and brave. If you want an example of just how ‘free’ free speech is just take a Bible and read from it down Speakers’ Corner. Instead of walking on by and ignoring her see how a certain segment of society demonstrate their tolerance and respect for others. Talk about ‘triggered’!
This short clip usefully serves as a further example of two-tier policing and the preferential treatment the perma-victims, who seemingly enjoy V.I.P status in society nowadays, now expect from authorities. Just see how emboldened and cocky these low-rent scumbags have become;

Whether that lady was there first or not, the brown-noser in uniform had no right to move her along. Do you think he even said a word to the Muslims who were blatantly out of order here? Being evidently beholden to Islam it’ll have been ”as-salaam ‘alaykum” if anything. They remind me of those weirdos dressed as ‘bondage dogs’ in the Pride parades, walking on all fours and kept on a short leash. The Muslims’ bitches, right there. The Muslim community are supremely confident and emboldened because they know they have these pathetic excuses for police eating out the palm of their hands. Well in Birmingham they’re allowed to police themselves, so that tells you all you need to know about the hierarchy over there.

Perhaps if you didn’t use the word ‘misogyny’ so often it might actually mean something. Perhaps – and I know this is, like, really insane thinking – but, perhaps, if you didn’t equate Islamic fundamentalists, who literally see you as sh*t on their shoe, with people that criticise the narcissistic cult of feminist ideology (me, myself and I) then the word ‘misogyny’ might have meaning. It’s now, however, a meaningless word thanks to decades of ridiculously childish, schoolyard tactics. And while you’re thinking of those Muslim men laughing at a woman, I don’t suppose you’re capable of thinking about how feminists, including yourself, have used bullying, taunting, and humiliation to laugh at men in exactly the same way? Nope, thought not. The cake. Always the cake.

“Our Government has become judge, jury and executioner of anyone who has the audacity to express their opposition to the main plank of their policy to bring the U.K. to its financial, social and cultural knees – that of unrestricted immigration.”

Correct, apart from the first word.

This isn’t “our” Government. It’s the WEF’s Government, as Keir Stalin made perfectly clear when he told us he’d rather be in Davos than Westminster because “that’s where the real work gets done.”

The WEF’s aim is to “Build Back Better” for them. That first requires destruction and we’re in the destructive phase.

I saw videos of a lot of unarmed non-Far-Right demonstrators being violently arrested by armed and armoured riot police at protests that, to all appearances, were not riots. It is surely significant to ask not only how many of those arrested were actual rioters, but how many were actually at riots.

It might be useful to see how many of the alleged crooks involved were actually dealt with by a Crown Court, hence a jury, compared with Magistrates. Of course, it could be that the Juries just do as they’re told, but nevertheless it could be that some might be found not guilty there c.f. in the Magistrates.

For some alleged crimes, perhaps they could learn from the health service and introduce a prison waiting list, so the guilty are at risk of having it all totted up if they are caught re something else.

Is Early Dawn part of British Summer Time?

Having moved the dawn by altering man-made timepieces for the purposes of making certain (now fictitious) times of the day safe for children crossing the road, are the times people spend incarcerated to be altered by government fiat for the purposes of making the state everyone safe from the ‘far-Right’?

The dawn usually heralds a new day, not a New Order. But you know what the human mind does to appellations of opprobrium. The Kaiser makes reference to ‘a contemptible little army’ and the Tommies call themselves ‘The Old Contemptibles’.

Plenty of scope, then, for invention here. These incarcerated might imaginatively become members of a Masonic-like society, something like the heretical Rosicrucians, brothers and sisters of the Early Dawn, holding that the scented Musk is the Chief Buffalo and being guided as by an apostle by someone with a name like Farrago, peace and blessings be upon him.

”but I cannot be alone in thinking that the Government was preparing for August 3rd.”

And yet i suspect that if you took a poll across the UK population there would still be a majority who would see it is a good thing that the Government has cracked down so strongly on these dangerous threats to our peaceful society. Whilst in many areas, like this site, there are many who find the implications of recent events to be very disturbing, nonetheless I am afraid that people who feel this way are in minority in the UK.

Reform have not shown themselves to be any sort of organised alternative voice and the Conservatives are still recovering from their recent pasting. The Government knew that now was an opportune moment to act in this chilling way.

You don’t hear any countervailing vision whether it is from an angry protest group or a mainstream political movement.There is plenty of analysis of what is wrong with the world but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a vision of the future which acknowledges current reality and seeks to remedy it. This lack of vitality is not natural and suggests a torpor and even a trance of demoralization and it is very difficult to ever restore morale if it has been slowly drained away. You see it in everyday life. That the only models of cleverness available in England these days are neoliberal hellbent fanaticism or cynical and knowing jadedness. This is a sign of morbidity,

It was funny, or it would be if it were not so pathetic, when I saw this morning that a task force chasing after illegal immigrants working in various places were tracked down and charged only to be freed on bail to once again vanish onto the illegal ether and get another job in a scrap yard or something. ————ha ha ah hilarious. But the joke is on us.

I quite enjoyed (if that’s the right word!) this article! But I utterly disagree that Reform could be our white knight. It is simply controlled opposition made up of politicians not to be trusted any more than any others. Read Miri AF (miriaf.co.uk) or watch UK Column news (ukcolumn.org). No, Reform is absolutely not for me. There is only one power that can save us and that is God – yet our nation long ago decided that we don’t need him! We need to repent and turn to him – he is the only hope for this nation and, indeed, the world.

Keir Starmer must be remarkably stupid or remarkably brazen if he thinks that the British public cannot work out what he is up to. Perhaps he is both brazen and stupid.

What almost no one has noticed is how, despite all the problems especially of the ‘Far Right’ supposed riots including the 100 phantom riots which strangely never happened, StarmFuhrer displays no signs of stress, anxiety or sleeplessness.

Yvette ‘Allo Allo’ Cooper in contrast was looking remarkably weather-worn at the height of the problems.

A psychologist might like to comment?

In other words, Starmfuhrer does not give a shit and he is either totally oblivious of the UK’s problems or everything is going to plan. [Not sure whose plan, but he appears remarkably unfazed].
