What’s going on in Epping right now? Apparently, it is a very late campaign of the never-ending Second World War, a conflict our leaders sometimes appear to know next to nothing about. On the annual anniversary of D-Day in 2020, Ben Wallace, then the country’s Defence Secretary, responded to news some race-Marxists had defaced the Cenotaph with BLM graffiti by tweeting the following total nonsense:

Perhaps you should reflect on how to spell the word ‘Cenotaph’, Ben.

I blame the oikophobes, of which there are many in high places such as the police force. And who is in charge over at Essex? It’s another white man ( an inconvenient truth for certain individuals on here ) at the helm;
”The police chief whose force effectively set up the confrontation between Stand Up to Racism activists and Epping residents?
That would be Ben-Julian Harrington of Essex Police.
The force further justified the move, saying they have “a reasonable duty to protect people who want to exercise their rights”.
In reality, it appears they have a reasonable duty to protect some people who want to exercise their rights…
This is the same force that investigated a journalist over an online post, investigating her for an offence that carries a maximum sentence of 7 years.
FOI stats shows they arrest more than one person every day (1.4) on average for speech-related “crimes.”
They’ve even gone as far as complaining to the press regulator to impede journalism they didn’t like.
In 2023, Essex Police solved just 13.35% of recorded offences—despite a drop of more than 9,000 reported crimes compared to 2022.
For some offences, the solve rate fell below 10%. For rape, it collapsed to just 3.5%.
Back in 2021, Chief Constable Harrington claimed hate speech was among the greatest threats to Essex—seemingly putting it on the same level as rape, knife crime, domestic abuse, and child sexual exploitation.
And just months ago, he was pleading the government for more money—claiming Essex Police faced a £34 million shortfall for 2025.
Horrendous is an understatement.”

“And who is in charge over at Essex? It’s another white man ( an inconvenient truth for certain individuals on here ) at the helm;”
Which individuals would these be? Please cite examples to substantiate your claim.
It occurs to me that, with a ‘solve rate’ of anything from 3 to 13 per cent, the reason crime is apparently going down is that people have noticed reporting it is a pointless exercise?
Even those knowing that all they will get is a crime number have probably stopped as if they claim on their insurance their premium will increase by two or three hundred percent. My renewal price has gone up 30% without any changes or a claim.
Nice work Mogs. Much appreciated 👏
The Starkers Brief is very thorough, and speaking of ‘Kent’ ( now corrected in the text ), who do we have as the Chief Constable over there? Just another white man, who’s clearly no fan of free speech. Yet more reality which contradicts the Misogynist Society’s narrative. However will they cope? 😵
”Update on the FOI request submitted to Kent Police concerning speech arrests:
After initially failing to respond, the force has now completed an internal review and decided to block the request.
They essentially said the data is too hard to retrieve and would exceed statutory cost and time limits.
The request was simple: how many people have been arrested under the Online Safety Act since it passed…
The strange thing?
Other forces had no issue providing this exact data over the past few months.
In fact, Kent are the only force to have made an issue out of it.
So the force can’t retrieve or publish basic arrest figures for certain offences.
Hard to see it as anything other than laziness or gross incompetence.
It also suggests they can’t easily access basic data for their own investigations, which isn’t exactly reassuring for Kent’s 1.6 million residents.
This is the same force that last year arrested a retired officer, Julian Foulkes, for replying to a pro-Palestine activist online.
Julian simply warned the activist of what might happen if Palestine activists continued to ramp up their protests.
It was perfectly legal speech, and there was objectively nothing close to being racist or discriminatory about it.
But Kent Police didn’t seem to care…
Six officers, armed with batons and pepper spray, searched his home and made bizarre remarks on his “very Brexity things”—almost as if he was some extremist hiding away.
They reportedly detained the 71-year-old Julian for 8 hours before eventually admitting fault months later and offering to pay Julian £20,000 in compensation.
Just another day in the world of British policing…
Pictured is Tim Smith, the Chief Constable of Kent Police.”

This prick of a Chief Constable would be working beyond his abilities as a lollipop man.
Having some experience with these people and now drawing my well earned pension, I can say with confidence that the useless tits that no one else would work with, were often ‘promoted’ out of the way to a safe 9×5 admin job.
The problem was they were then in a ‘bubble’ where their particular brand of banality would be noticed and rewarded, and assisted up the slithery pole to a position where they could cause maximum disruption and hence the problems we are now experiencing with the police.
I hope this goes some way to explaining how this sh!t happens ..

Having worked with some senior managers in DWP I can honestly say that your comments match them also. I would add one point, these people are utterly soulless; compassion and empathy are NOT and never are part of the make up of these people. ‘Eichman like’ best sums them up.
My better looking and a lot cleverer other half, did her 30 in DWP as well Mr/Ms Piggles, she will emphatically agree with us both!
I most certainly agree with your addendum too, and add ‘nasty’ to the list.
Whoops, forgot to add ‘nasty,’ but entirely accurate. Bully’s too.
But surely if they just get rid of the female Chief Constables that would make everything alright, according to some on here, no?🤭
🤡
The gender is irrelevant Mogs, theatre always Eichman-like, soulless automatons.
That’s exactly my point, hux. Inept, woketard, corrupt arseholes have always been and will always be available in both sexes, but according to the DS Misogynist Society men are superior and women ( who are always labelled the “DEI hire” when they f**k up, funnily enough ) should be banned from positions of leadership. The reality on the ground tells a different story, because I’m shining a light on the state of some of these ‘superior’ men that are leaders. They’re abysmal. And, boy, does me highlighting this undeniable fact trigger certain individuals on here! Like that’ll ever stop me…😁
But misogynists avoid reality like vampires avoid sunlight. Same as it ever was.😏🧛
😀😀
The author needs to look up which county Epping is in. It’s really quite easy.
The hotel is right on the southern edge of the town which is quite a long sprawl, which is in ESSEX not kent. This is about 400 meters from said school which is set down a country road with footpath on only one side of the road. It would be easy to create an intimidating block just by hanging around that road. The tube station is about 1.5km away buried in Epping back streets, so presumably the counter protesters would have got lost and didn’t have the energy to walk there and back. I haven’t seen out right evidence that they did get a lift there though. But given police arrest of Israel supporter at Palestine marches, to avoid violence I would have thought the same would apply here. They should have had their demo at a different time. Shame on the Essex police.
I see the police have now also admitted it, it seems unbelievable that it has come to that.
At least we now know whose side the police are on and they have made themselves a legitimate target.
The Far Left were either bussed in or bussed out, or both. I have seen video evidence. I think I posted it on here.
It’s all in plain sight, as it has been for some time, to those of us who are wired & can feel without even delving, every indiscretion by the PTB & their minions in politics judiciary & the Police !
The Establishment is deliberately trying to provoke riots in order to justify authoritarian rule.
They are desperate to get us back into the EU. Yesterday the DT reported that Schwab/WEF had deliberately corrupted data to make it look like Brexit had “failed.”
The criminal migrant invasion is orchestrated; I believe there is a secret agreement between the British and French Governments that “we’ll take our fair share” and there will be continual chaos …. because “we left the EU … and the only way to stop it is to rejoin.”
They are trying to break the British people’s resistance.
I suspect you are partially correct. I’m not sure about the EU angle, but the fact they are trying to provoke violence in order to have an excuse to implement tighter and tighter control seems obvious.
If we still had a military led by people worthy of the title “military officer”, we’d be in a coup situation by now, with most of our MPs in a military jail pending processing.
But we dont.
I think we are at that stage sometimes described as being too late to vote too early to start shooting, but the next phase is undoubtedly getting closer.
The EU is suffering just as much as this country, the difference is, they are doing something, Stoma isnt.
If Brexit was seen by other Europeans as a success the chances of the EU imploding would have been certain and thus the whole globalisation project would collapse. The push for conflagration is going to increase.
Most EU member states depend on the German (mostly) money the EU distributes to them. Because of this, a collapse of the EU is extremly unlikely for as long as the (somewhat) autonomous region of Germany can still be made to pay EU bills (and a large part of UN bills as well, BTW).
yes but now the German economy is imploding thanks to Energiewende or what ever you call it, that’s going to become more complicated.
Nothing to celebrate, just a sad fact that the people of Germany like the rest of us, are being royally shafted by their elected leaders.
I’m convinced that there’s an entity which sets the course for both Merz’ (a BlackRock guy, after all) and Starmers’ governments because they’re – minus local colourings – almost acting in unison and often, even use the same or very similar arguments, just in two different languages.
Once the author said Epping was in Kent I stopped reading. If he can get something so simple wrong, then he’s forfeited my trust.
Moderator here: I’ve amended it, thanks. Be kind, try reading it again, we can all make mistakes? After all, this town might become famous as ‘The Epping Point’, the time when the gorvernment had to really address this ridiculous situation
It’s a simple mistake, hardly lying, spinning or bullshitting.
Did you forensically check the article for spelling errors also??
Later on he corrected himself, an otherwise excellent article I must say.
Fair point.
To ask the question is to answer it.
Globalist scum.
Ben Wallace is an absolute joke. Just think, that thing was a military officer.
Totally useless.
I’m assuming you were not in the military then Mr Rigger, otherwise you’d be aware that an inordinately percentage of the officer class were useless, not just Mr Wallace!
Pull up a sandbag, I have full experience of the “wisdom” of military officers…
I wonder if any of them ever get found out in civvy street…?
Splendid! Stag on Tonka ..
I live half a mile away. I have not taken part in the demonstrations but if I had known of the first ones I might well have done so. The people of Epping are moderately minded with a range of views and attitudes to most things as you would expect. People are fed up with repeated thefts from supermarkets and other local crime; police say it has declined but their data cannot include unreported crime.
The troublemakers are not recognised as locals, indeed I believe all the pro-immigrant ones come from London. As we know Mayor Khan is in favour of ever more immigratiion, he just doesn’t build the accommodation for them. Rewsult, they come to neighbouring districts and we have to suffer building on the Green Belt for them and the middle class Londoners who can afford to escape the Khan hell hole.
I imagine a bit of lawfare might be useful. For instance, respectable Epping residents photographed to illustrate an article published in said lefty newspaper suggesting they are evil nazis etc must be defamation, award of substantial damages might put it out of business. And complaint against police for not being even-handed followed up by judicial review when it’s rejected. I’ll support a crowdfund
Tja¹ … play communist’s games, win communist comrades …
A cornerstone of communist ideology is that the nation-state is a capitalist-invented machinery of oppression and that fascism is just the final state capitalism develops into. Hence, everybody who isn’t a communist is a Nazi or at least about to become one.
¹ Roughly the German equivalent of using “Well, …” to start a sentence.
There were some black people living unmolested in the Third Reich. Some of them were the children born to German women who had been raped by French Senegalese soldiers during the occupation of the Rhineland after the Great War.
As for this gentleman, Barker, there is such a thing as the embarrassing supporter. People like him are a gift to the Guardian class and the SWP. If he were seriously political, rather than just someone who appears to like the excitement, he would withdraw and leave the very capable locals to do the protesting.
As for Wallace, he is seen surfacing, like one of our rusty submarines with those rockets that flop into the sea frightening the whales, justifying the covert Afghan ‘rescue’. Directed against BLM, his 2020 tweet would have flopped like one of those rockets. In 1944 while US troops were indeed fighting the Third Reich, segregation was in full swing in the Southern states of the USA.
I will never forget the Police spokesman stating after the Southport riots, that ‘we have dedicated teams of officers investigating social media posts’.
Starmer would have instructed the police to do this. The police are a political tool now.
Truly shocking.
More Two-Tier policing.
Some months back, a lone citizen with an Israeli flag at a Pro-Murdering, atrocity Hamas event was arrested by police for – supposedly – their own safety.
On another occasion a lone arsewipe carrying a Palestinian flag was escorted by a dozen police so the could parade through a Pro-Israel demo.
Telling at a number of levels.
The Grauniadistas are doing the Establishment’s work for it, so the Establishment is just looking after its own.
We are an island of two states.
Because, as we have now been told, they were ordered to do so by Starmer. So much for the independence of the police! Both Starmer and the Chief Constable must resign, and both be charged with incitement.
