This piece shall describe both the shortcomings and the successes of the recent protests in two separate sections. Anyone who takes issue with it should address both sections in a fair manner. It is also worth repeating what is said elsewhere, that this piece is addressed as much to those who wish to defend the British state, as a speculative exercise, from which they might draw profitable lessons about its weakness. It is a piece of analysis and not normative argument.
We shall begin by pointing out how right I am about everything
She spurns your suit? O-ho! O-ho!
I told you so, I told you so

All J’accuse predictions are coming true. From December 2023
This is the opening salvo of the Starmer purge. The signs are all there. Days before the attacks, Tommy Robinson, a confirmed state agent, held a giant rally in London as a ‘dress rehearsal’ and to prime the image of ‘far-right thugs’ in people’s minds. The UAE, a country intimately linked to British intelligence, issued a travel warning days before rioting started. The attacker in Southport was, like most school shooters who are never seen again, connected to child acting and various SIS front organisations. While the Southport protests, and some others (we’ll get to this later) appear to be legit, the one outside Downing Street was clearly staged having zero connection to the attack.
Starmer has responded by promising a new Gendarmerie to ‘tackle’ violent disorder, here we see it described in a classical example of Starmerian oratory:
“And so, to that end, I can announce today that, following this meeting, we will establish a national capability across police forces to tackle violent disorder…. These thugs are mobile, they move from community to community. We must have a policing response that can do the same. Shared intelligence, wider deployment of facial recognition technology and preventative action, criminal behaviour orders to restrict their movements, before they can even board a train. In just the same way that we do with football hooligans”
The injustices of anti-hooligan legislation have been described elsewhere, by other people, better than I shall attempt. Essentially, if you attend more than one protest of anything classified as an ‘extremist group’ (anti-ULEZ, anti-lockdown, free speech, pro-Palestine) you will be added to a Beaver Shield database and your movements tracked for the rest of your life. If the Starmtroopers think you might be about to do something naughty, or during periods of civil disorder, you will get slammed with some form of specialised, illegal restraining order for which the police will not need ordinary warrants and which will confine you to your home with 3+ year jail sentences for disobeying. It is an egregious attack on the freedom to protest and a powerful weapon in the armoury of a state sliding into economic recession and war. The database won’t be tied to actual records of violence but membership of any group considered ‘extremist’, which will begin with the ‘actual Nazis’ and rapidly swell to include anyone opposing the fake-peace of Starmerism.
Secondly, the riots are going to become an event in ‘national memory’, more important than Grenfell, to be invoked for years to come. I expect we are due for a few more days of it, until a particularly graphic case of ‘far right terror’ happens, possibly a political assassination. A scapegoat will be found to make an example of and establish a new standard for what mainstream journalists and politicians are allowed to say. Most likely, this will be Farage. The grumblings of the anti-terror honcho are a prelude to some new deployment of the ‘Standards Committee’ which will see him, essentially, forced to admit his culpability in the riots or be suspended indefinitely from Parliament. Farage is in a tough position. The more moderate he gets, the easier he looks as a target; had he turned up to one of these rallies and addressed the crowds, the system would be desperately trying to keep him out of the headlines. If this happens, Farage will be castrated for the rest of his time in Parliament. The precedent will be used throughout the Starmerreich to intimidate increasingly boozier news outlets into refraining from increasingly mundane commentary on immigration. G.B News will also, likely, get hit by this at a later date.
This article is not about Reform, a topic which has been done to death, yet let it be known that Farage can, at any PMQs, demand Starmer answer his ‘questions’. He can attend the numerous sessions in which the Home Secretary gives statements to the House. As an M.P, he has access to the HoC library and may summon any police official or public servant before a select committee to answer his ‘questions’. Farage could very easily use some simple OSINT to get the identities of all the armed Muslim counter-protesters and read them out in Parliament, simultaneously publishing a video explaining the methodology and Starmer would have no response. That he does not do this but contents himself instead with acting like a <100k follower right-wing spam account must be noted. It is hypocritical for people who spent two years insisting that Neill’O Vaccines, in his capacity as under-secretary for Health, declare a Schmittian emergency in the channel and deport every refugee, not to hold their representative to higher standards.
The final, and most ambitious, goal of the operation is some kind of Internet censorship. This has been a goal of the British state for a long time and it is unlikely to succeed this time. It will be darkly amusing to watch the same people who harp on about ‘Imperial nostalgia’ and ‘British exceptionalism’ foam with rage when billionaire space-coloniser Elon Musk tells Beaver Shield Winner from The Woodman, Sir Keir Starmer, to get lost. M.Ps and civil servants are simply too incompetent to build a native system of web censorship outside bullying American companies to do it for them. What might happen, in light of the aforementioned scapegoating exercise, is that M.Ps and journalists are effectively forbidden from posting about ongoing emergencies by an expansion of hate speech or anti-terror laws. Labour frontbenchers have been muttering darkly about ‘role of X’
Let this serve as a vindication of what was written last year, there is a world of difference between rule by incompetents and rule by your enemies who actively plot to destroy you. It is not simply business as usual, managed decline. The deep state can now proactively shape events, in concert with the state broadcaster, to achieve desired outcomes of greater censorship. If the riots had happened under Sunak, they would’ve been reduced to whining about it online and getting their fake charities to put out ‘research’ endorsing this outcome. The right-wing are entirely unprepared for a government which simply doesn’t care about them and relishes the prospect of making them suffer. There is no reason for Sir Keir to listen to your ‘concerns’. As was said in the past, the danger is that, after eight years of this, the same people who demanded zero seats will become passionate Conservatives; Farage will do nothing for four years — they will vote Reform 2028, hence killing any immigration sceptic Conservative Party as well — and then ensure someone like Rory Stewart gets in out of desperation in the next election. Only People’s Action offers an alternative.

Nonetheless, to completely dismiss the protests would be foolish and immoral. It is understandable that no mainstream commentator can endorse violence but let us be clear, where your conscience must stand. The police have waged a generation-long campaign of intimidation against working-class white people: the fathers of girls groomed by rape gangs were intimidated by threats of imprisonment, BLM were allowed to vandalise historical monuments to be let off by rigged juries, more people have been arrested for hate speech in Britain than people in Russia for criticising the SMO, day-in-day-out stories are read in the papers of people who are only in the country due to incompetence (every party agrees they shouldnt be here) committing Medieval acts of violence against innocents: who have been systematically robbed of all ability to defend themselves by an army of CCTV cameras and hardhat goons.
