UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he had no plans to step aside as Labour leader after todays results in elections for town and Metropolitan Area councils and Mayoral elections in several Metropolitan cities elections showed Nigel Farage’s populist Reform UK crushing Starmer's Labour Party which also lost ground to the Liberal Democrats and Greens. The UK Conservative Party, starting from a low base also performed poorly without reaching the level of disaster achieved by Labour.
Among the policies and plans that have made Starmer and his party so unpopulare are plans to introduce Digital ID and facial recignition in our cities and towns, abolition of the right to trial by jury and curtailment of free speech by criminalising criticism of Islam and Mass Immigration. He has also betrayed voter by trying to make Britain an EU client state which many see as a Betrayal of Brexit.
Labour MPs and union bosses broke ranks on Friday to demand Starmer’s resignation after his party’s worst local elections defeat in history.
Even Sie Keir's usual allies in Parliment warned the Prime Minister that he could “end the Labour Party”, leaving it “slaughtered” and in a state of “total destruction” at the next general election if he did not stand down.
Critics lined up to call for a new leader after Starmer was blamed for Labour’s historic defeats across England, Scotland and Wales, losing councils that had never been run by another party and giving up control in Wales for the first time since devolution.
Energy Secretary Ed Milliband reportedly told Starmer he should consider setting out a timeline for an orderly handover to a new leader. Labour Party sources said Miliband made the suggestion during a private meeting with the prime minister about a fortnight ago.
But, for now, Starmer is staying:
“These are really tough results — I’m not going to sugarcoat it,” Starmer told broadcasters on Friday, while resolving to stay on as prime minister until the next election.
“The voters have sent a message about the pace of change, how they want their lives improved. I was elected to meet those challenges, and I’m not going to walk away from those challenges and plunge the country into chaos.”
So far Starmer has not resorted to his usual tactic of blaming somebody else for his failings, but then he has done that so many times there is probably nobody left that he has not already placed blame on. Even now though, one again The Prime Minister is showing how tone deaf, word blind and lacking in self awareness he is by saying he will not step down because it would plunge the nation into chaos. It is incredible that the man does not have a clue his two years in office have already plunged the nation into greater chaos than it has known since the outbreak of World War 2.
MPs said he should immediately announce a timeline for his departure, allowing leadership challengers to set out their pitch this summer. They were followed by the leaders of Unison, the public services union, and TSSA, its transport equivalent, who called for the Prime Minister to quit.
It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't for Starmer. If he hangs in there - the party is over at the next election, Starmer resigns and the tax evader Rayner gets anywhere near number 10 (either on her own or via proxy Burnham) it'll be a bloody mess and the party will be over at the next election. Any of the other shining examples of ineptitude the Labour Party have to offer up as leader will all fail so miserably it'll be the end of Labour at the next General Election. The only hopeless numpties not seeing that at the moment are Labour.

In A Corporatist System Of Government, Corporate Censorship Is State Censorship

The Perils Of Centralized Power
We show how the increasing centralization of power has led to the public becoming disenfranchised and feelinf unable to control their own lives. it has also facilitated the growth of a culture of corruption and cover up in public life, the justice system, education, the churches and other areas where the elite have become remote and out of touch with the citizens they serve.
As internet users you've all come across the kind of smart arse who thinks he has all the answers.

Many would argue both those things are already here and what is coming down the road is their expansion and refinement, but I don't believe we have yet gone too far to turn things around.
We already have biometric passports in a country like the UK which prides itself on its social liberalism, and in which almost everyone travels abroad. The US long had an entry permission system (ESTA) as has Australia. The EU is implementing a similar digital border and permission system next year and the UK is in the process of developing a similar policy. In time every 'free' country will follow suit. So we are already nicely put in holding pens where we can roam freely, for now.
As for control of the way money flows, most transactions are by card or bank transfer. And those transactions are already recorded on databases and carefully monitored. Try doing anything substantial out of the ordinary and you can be sure one of the banks invond demand information on what it is for.
There are some slightly more optimistic notes in this weeks news however.This, from the United States, is the one that gives me most cause for hope.
House Financial Services Committee Advances National Security, Financial Privacy, Anti-CBDC Legislation | Financial Services Committee
An important section of the report reads:
“Today, the House Financial Services Committee passed eleven pieces of legislation out of Committee that strengthen national security, protects Americans’ financial privacy, and prevents the issuance of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) without explicit authorization from Congress.“
Perhaps in the US, banks ask less questions, or if they do ask questions more closely related to criminal activity or to the prevention of money laundering, and perhaps, based on what I know of their constitution, US banks have a legal duty and right to refuse to disclose information to the state. The Patriot Act which authorized non specific trawling of personal communications was ruled unconstitutional in parts by several federal courts. We need the supreme courts in Uk, Germany, France, Italy and other European nations to start upholding the constitutions of their states because recently the adjudicative panels, packed with political appointees, have been supine as globalist technocrats have freely trampled on the constitutional rights of citizens
