Everyone remembers that Sir Keir Starmer’s response to the 2020 Black Lives Matter “protests” in London – after dozens of police officers were injured – was to take the knee to the neo-Marxist race activists. For good measure, he then pledged a “diversity audit” for his party – anything to curry favour with the woke Left.
But in that BLM summer of love, with a narrative of widespread police racism being beamed in relentlessly from the U.S., this wasn’t the only time the upstanding Labour leader abased himself before the Left-wing grievance mob.
On July 4th, 2020, a Met police van patrolling in West London after an increase in violent crime stopped the car of Portuguese Olympic sprinter Ricardo Dos Santos and his partner, Team GB sprinter Bianca Williams, after seeing it driving suspiciously. The athletes were returning from training to their West London home with their baby son, then three months old, in the back seat of their Mercedes.
Footage of the incident was soon circulating widely on social media, sparking headlines and claims of racial profiling, including from the two athletes.
Yet the force’s Directorate of Professional Standards Unit swiftly reviewed the footage and found no misconduct by its officers. Two days after the incident, Scotland Yard was holding its ground, explaining that, “A vehicle with blacked out windows made off at speed from the officers, travelling the wrong side of the road”, and that the driver, Dos Santos, had initially refused to get

Hmmm. a glitch in the matrix? A count of 13 comments but only 4 showing. Notably all that refer to monogamy are missing.
Strange hey, the right to a private life seems to trump our right to know about alleged corruption in plain sight by our PM. If Starmer can’t keep it in his trousers and the allegations that’s he’s fathered a child are true, forcing him to accept hospitality off Lord Alli, voters possibly have a right to know in a democracy? We can hear this all over twitter and YouTube but are banned discussing it here??
Kneel is under orders to destroy this country and because he is not very bright has concluded that anything and everything which undermines faith in our services and institutions is acceptable. He has been caught out once again. Will he learn?
For the police who have been put through this horror, and I am no fan of plod, I feel sad.
Kneel may believe that giving the police a kicking will earn him brownie points but at some time in the future he might need to rely on police officers and some will have long memories. I do hope he comes a cropper.
I complete agree, especially with the opening. The deadliest weapon being used to create the new order is the erosion of national sovereignty and identity. Hence DEI is given such importance. Everywhere you look, it is there and only ‘nasty’ people object.
None of this is surprising because 2TK leads a political party which hates whites. Furthermore, the Anti-white Party (formerly the Labour Party) will always conduct itself as an anti-white organisation because, as a matter of political expediency, it has abandoned the white working class. And recently, remember, we had the vile spectacle of one of the Anti-white Party’s MPs (the loathsome Dawn Butler) celebrating murderers and rapists because they’re black. It’s the organisation as a whole which is at fault, not just 2TK.
Let’s keep the focus on far more important things Starmer is guilty of.
Not saying I agree with the way he chooses to live, nor that I believe he should enjoy special protection. Just that we should not get distracted.
Having said this, I am aware that this is a matter that could flip some people’s opinion of him.
Tricky, innit.
You’re right of course, but equally you only have imagine the reaction if we were talking about sunak’s illegitimate offspring…
We wouldn’t believe it?
🙂
Of course we’d believe it. No one disputes Johnsons extended family?
I agree but I object to a clear news story in the public interest being suppressed by his chums.I agree nut zero/open borders etc are much bigger stories.
It’s sort of tricky but ultimately I think your first sentence is the most important one. One way we might see a political leader we think is just about acceptable (not actively damaging our country) in power, and that leader might well be found to behave badly or even be corrupt – do we want the focus to be on that or on their policies? I guess this would be something like a politically better version of Boris Johnson – lockdowns would have been worse under Labour, Johnson was hounded out of office over a party. I’m not defending him – he is despicable – just making the point that this cuts both ways.
I want people’s opinion to flip by realising that “socialism” is best avoided.
Being faithless. In great things and small.
There’s speculation the small matter may involve a case of perjury.
Fathering a love child (if true) is not generally seen by many as a great failing nowadays… but after the political interest shown in Boris Johnson’s family life there is a stench of hypocrisy arising from any soft peddling of Starmer’s (alleged) family life.
From Wikipedia:
Perhaps as a relatively new MP Starmer has not yet developed the politicians experience not to walk into Elephant traps? Perhaps he learned a different lesson first under Corbyn and then his own leadership of the Labour Party… keep ‘the Left on-side’. He has no experience of Labour In Power to prime his instincts.
And if he was a lawyer, he would have had a better understanding of how disruptive a stray comment can be. 🙂
