With both Southport and Henry Nowak it was obvious that Starmer was more angry with the natives for being disobedient than he was that the horrific events had happened.

His energy was devoted to clamping down on unrest (sorry, "far-right thuggery"), not stopping murders from happening.

Delusional to the very end.

He "loves his country" by which he means its legal definition of a sovereign state. Unfortunately he hated all its native inhabitants, particularly the far right non-Labour voters, and this hatred was deservedly reciprocated big time.

Brilliant writing Nick. I especially like this bit which I was banging on about this morning, though you have put it better.

"Burnham will soon end up hated, and his already irritating selfie with the strategically-placed Labour Fembots (whom they still don’t quite trust to lead) will age about as well as the dancing nurses of the Covid era."

Thanks Geoff.

I wouldn’t vote Labour at gunpoint, but I was prepared to give Starmer a chance up until the end of his first week in power and his reaction to Southport. There he was all cocky, thinking his “landslide” made him invulnerable to what the hated, racist masses thought. Incandescent with rage that anyone could be upset by one of his precious foreigners killing three little girls. Well he’s had his comeuppance and good riddance. Worst ever.

Fairly apt that after all the things that have happened on his watch the only thing that moved him to tears was the thought of losing his job

At least he's (nearly) gone and good riddance! I was thinking that "One Kier" might be a good title for his book.

I've hated him since his nightly television rounds as Shadow Brexit Secretary, when he kept repeating the nonsense argument for having Brexit whilst staying in the single market and customs union; with that nasal whine and look of a startled rabbit (before the freebie specs).

He even couldn't help himself with the Makerfield result; describing it as a vote for hope, not hate and division - instantly labelling 48% of the electorate as ‘haters’. Missing the obvious that the other 52% voted for the man whose express intent was to displace him. One could argue then, that everyone voted with hate (or at least intense dislike). Of you, Starmer.

"I, Kier". Love it Nick!😂

Well said, Nick. There is a belief that many on this planet are without 'souls'; for me KS is the most 'soulless' PM, ever with eyes as dead as those of a zombie - AB looks to be another. Poor UK, poor us.

I'm a Yank and a lifelong anglophile. I cherish the U.K. as my cultural motherland. Even though I was not directly affected by Mr. Starmer's political and shameless thuggery (to use his favorite word). I am extremely glad to see the back of him as Prime Minister. He of course is the face of a group of politicians who have the blood of innocent victims of racial murder perpetrated by illegal aliens.. Yep.. I said it.. illegal aliens.. not "migrants"🤨 Mr. Starmer's departure is of little consequence to the plight of the U.K. As the political class at the behest of their invisible international elite overlords, continue to rearrange the deck chairs on the "HMS U.K. Dire straits". Up the U.K.!💪👍With love 💖 from the U.S.A. May God bless and give you the government you fight for.🙏

That's alright Larry, there was a time when I would have defended my country from foreign slurs, but those days are gone. Just hope that America can be saved from the barbarians who will take us, as Churchill one said to a new dark age.

"But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age, made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science."

Dear Pete, my brother in Democracy. You've seen from my comments how much I cherish the U.K. as my cultural homeland. Every "First world country".. cause you know it would be "racist" to mention second and third "tier countries"😉 In spite of the fact that their ruling classes would rather have their citizens "immigrate" to other countries, rather than actually improve their countries. Has been subject to foreign slurs. Look at the French for instance 😂 But say what we will about the French, (I personally respect them greatly), the individual Frenchman doesn't take crap, unlike their pandering and corrupt politicians... I'm looking at you Macron.🤨 Getting back to the topic. My concerns regarding the U.K. could only be greater if I lived there. As we have discussed. The problem isn't just what the ruling elites are doing to the U.K., but what they are doing to all of the anglophone countries. In a perverse way, maybe the fall of Western "democracy", like a forest fire cleanses the forest and provides for revitalization of the vegetation. Will bring about a new era of true democracy. The decadence of today's Western societies will be wiped away by brutal foreign ideologies and religions. That are far more in keeping with the things that allowed humans to survive and succeed in the first place. I'm no puritan, but I think it is obvious how Western society's morals have declined, how the elites cater to the lowest common denominator of various groups, and how populations have lost touch with the very positive things that made their societies and countries great. I think the "cards" are stacked against us patriots, but I will do whatever is possible in my old age, to encourage those that can defend the fundamental basics of democracy, and to do their utmost in the struggle. Stay well, and may God bless.

Great post, Nick. I think you summed up this soulless man perfectly. Can't see how Burnham is going to be any better though, but let's see how long he can run on just vibes until he's in the same position as Starmer.

Cracking stuff. Me, wryly giving up hope upon reading Cummings section. A truly well researched, well written shot to the heart 😂

One gone, only to be replaced by another. It’s a conveyor belt of rancid:

A - fuckery

B - sociopaths

C - authoritarianism

D - all of the above

I've just been down in this baking heat to spend a few days on the beach in that Kasbah that is Bournemouth. What I was struck with there is that awful realisation that no one in this realm has the balls or wherewithal to reverse the obvious replacement of our race. Sorry, that's about it! Not sure it's a comment on Nick's article which as usual is splendid.
