THE PRIME MINISTER AND GOLDERS GREEN

Yesterday, after a hostile response from the Jewish community on his visit to the scene of the recent antisemitic attacks, Kier Starmer commented on the situation from Downing Street.

Starmer remarked ‘Britain’s Jewish community suffered yet another vile terrorist attack’ and pointed out that ‘this attack was not a one-off’. As if people had not noticed. Starmer announced that there would be more police patrols, ‘much stronger powers to shut down charities that promote antisemitic extremism’, and that ‘We will prevent hate preachers from entering our country, bar them from our campuses, our streets, our communities.’ The public will believe this when they see it. The mullah regime’s IRGC has been banned across the West due to its terrorist activities, yet the UK still dithers.

Starmer continued:

‘This is about society every bit as much as it is about security. At moments like this we often say this is not Britain, that these attacks are an afront to British values, to British tolerance, British decency but they keep happening. And so today instead I will simply say that our values are not a gift handed down generation to generation. They are something we earn each day through action. They come from us.’

Starmer ended: ‘I call on everyone to come together and fight antisemitism and I call on everyone to fight for the decent, respectful, tolerant Britain that I and millions of people love so that our freedom and our values can still speak loud and true to a community that can no longer take it on faith. Thank you.’

Who is ‘we’? Whose values are ‘our values’? The attacker is a Somali immigrant, who legally entered the UK as a teenager. He has a long, violent history. He had already been imprisoned for stabbing a police officer in a frenzied attack. This week he launched another attack and two Jewish people are in hospital. The Somali also has a British passport. He has been given British citizenship.

This Somali is not one of us and does not share ‘our values’. By ‘our values’, Starmer really means the false morality of political correctness. The Somali is motivated by his culture. Culture is inherited and is ‘handed down generation to generation’. Culture may evolve, but it is very difficult to change. The culture of England is English culture, which has been inherited down the generations. We need to reassert that culture and reject the abstract values of political correctness. We need to reject the fiction that giving an immigrant a passport makes him as British as we are (to use the cliché) or his culture British culture.

British passports are being thrown about like confetti, and given to any immigrant regardless. We need to review the citizenship laws.
