There’s been much commentary on the Prime Minister’s willingness to blame the current disturbances on Britain’s streets to ‘the far right’. Even though, as many of us who have followed the more murky areas of politics know, the real ‘far right’ is a dead force in the UK. The sort of Hitlerian politics that Starmer alludes to and who he smears ordinary angry Britons by associating them with, is a dead end. The real far right do terrible at elections and cannot organise anything like a large scale demo. They have been reduced to practising entryism into more established Patriot and nationalist groups and causes and even there have less of an impact than they might think they have. The real far right, which I observed and marched against as a young man also suffers from the same problem that this grouping had post WWII when Sir Oswald Mosley was trying to unite them which is that every leader of even the most tinpot group will not countenance not being Fuhrer themselves and following someone else.

But as Brendan O’Neill points out over at Spiked Magazine, Starmer is less than voluble on the subject of the various pro-Hamas hate marches that have been infesting Britain’s cities and towns since the Pogrom in Israel on 7/10. Sir Keir might be getting his knickers in a twist over Britons who initially wanted to peacefully protest about the problems that this country suffers from but he says bugger all about the hatred promoted and sustained by the Far Left and the more extreme followers of Islam.

Mr O’Neil, commenting the day after Sir Keir blamed the ‘far right’ on the street disturbances, said:

It was also interesting to hear Starmer summon so much passion to denounce hateful activism last night. After all, we’ve heard no such condemnation from him about the ‘pro-Palestine’ protests that have been periodically roiling London this past year, often descending into carnivals of Jew hatred. The silence is particularly deafening given we know that some of the groups behind those demos have links to Hamas, the genocidal, Islamofascist terror group. One of them, the Muslim Association of Britain, was founded by a former Hamas chief. But don’t you dare call them ‘hate marches’…

Mr O’Neill is correct in his assessment. Sir Keir has said almost nothing about the pro-Hamas hate marches when maybe, for the sake of good governance and equity, spoken up against them in as forceful way as he speaks up against Britons who might most likely not be associated with the far right but who are merely pissed off and want the political classes to listen to their pleas regarding the problems that the political classes have landed them with.
