(LifeSiteNews) — U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced an expansion of facial recognition technology and online censorship in response to widespread civil unrest following the murder of three girls by the 17-year-old son of Rwandan immigrants.
On winning the election in July, Starmer said, “My government will be a force for good.”
Four weeks later, the nation is wracked by violent disorder following the murder of three girls by the son of Rwandan immigrants.
Three girls aged six, seven, and nine were stabbed to death by Axel Muganwa Rudakubana on Monday, July 29. He is charged with their murder and with the attempted murder of eight further girls aged between five and 10 years old, along with that of two adults – all seriously injured in his attack on a dance class in Hart Street, Southport.
Rudakubana, who took a taxi to kill the children, has been described as a “quiet choir boy” and was formerly featured in a BBC charity video in support of “Children in Need.” Mainstream media described him as a “boy from Cardiff.” Later reports of his “ferocious attack” confirmed he had been born in the Welsh capital to Rwandan parents.
With nothing said about the decades of open borders which has seen eight million migrants arrive in Britain since 2001, the British state has used the crisis it has created to move towards digital tyranny.
In a statement broadcasted on August 1, Starmer blamed a “tiny mindless minority” for the furious disorder sparked by the killings. He vowed to introduce a “national capability” of mass surveillance in response, whilst threatening censorship and prosecution of social media companies.
“The actions of a tiny, mindless minority in our society,” Starmer said, will see him “establish a national capability, across police forces … shared intelligence … wider deployment of facial recognition technology.”
As Starmer announced a new police unit to crack down on violent disorder, an adviser to the U.K. government has demanded the introduction of “COVID-style” lockdowns to suppress nationwide fury over the lawlessness created by mass migration and a regime openly hostile to those who have to inhabit its consequences.
The term “anarcho-tyranny” is applied to a system of government which terrorizes its own populations with disorder in order to justify crackdowns to increase its own power.
This term seems to fit the picture of Starmer’s Britain today.
‘Mass surveillance threatens democracy’
Big Brother Watch has warned that the expanded use of facial recognition “threatens rather than protects democracy,” as it “turns the public into walking ID cards.” In a press release, the group – which campaigns against creeping technological authoritarianism as exampled in the dystopian novel 1984 – said in a press release on August 1:
The Prime Minister’s alarming pledge today to roll out facial recognition in an apparent response to recent disorder is a pledge to plunder more vital police resources on mass surveillance that threatens rather than protects democracy.
Big Brother Watch’s Silkie Carlo explained the technology is banned in Europe – and may itself be illegal in the U.K.:
This AI surveillance turns members of the public into walking ID cards, is dangerously inaccurate and has no explicit legal basis in the UK. Whilst common in Russia and China, live facial recognition is banned in Europe.
Starmer repeated his threat on Sunday, August 4, to crack down on “far-right thugs,” saying “the full force of the law” would be applied those involved – whether online or in person – in the disturbances sparked by the horrific murders, and enabled by years of liberal globalist government policy.
Media reports have blamed “online misinformation” for fueling the violent disorder which has followed the appalling mass killing of English children. Yet critics have also pointed out that Starmer refused to mention the “causes of crime.”
In one of two questions, a U.K. reporter gently suggested that government policy and the outrageous murder itself may explain the “motive” behind nationwide civil unrest. Starmer replied, “It doesn’t matter.”
Starmer vowed instead to “protect Muslims … and those attacked for their skin color and their faith” as he erased any context except racism for the motives of the outraged.
“This is not [a] protest,” he said. “It is organized violent thuggery, and it has no place on our streets or online.”
Strongly condemning attacks on “places of worship,” he said nothing of the 150 churches which have been burned down in the U.K. between 2017 and 2022. Disgusted by the “violence … of far-right thugs,” he has recently promised three billion pounds per year to Ukraine, and he stated in October 2023 that Israel “has the right” cut off food and water supplies to Gaza in its ongoing genocide. He denied saying this later, despite being recorded doing so.
So far, his government has not suspended arms sales to Israel.
As one concerned citizen pointed out on X, the state denouncing violence against itself has “made up a virus, injected people with poison, divided societies … destroyed the economy whilst simultaneously robbing it,” saying that these are “the same people who are … allowing your country to be invaded & are trying their hardest to start World War Three.”
By contrast, Starmer’s no-context remarks erase the past and present actions of the liberal globalist order he represents.
Starmer: healing the nation?
Starmer, who became prime minister four weeks ago, has stated his preference “for Davos” over Westminster in the past, clearly signaling his preference for the globalist order over the national sovereignty and democracy of the British Parliament.
Record low turnout in the July 4 general election saw the Labour Party win a massive majority with over 400 seats – on the smallest number of votes it has won in 84 years.
In his first speech as prime minister on July 5, Starmer promised to end the “chaos” in Britain and assured the nation his government would rebuild public trust by its actions – not its words
This lack of trust can only be healed by actions, not words. I know that. … Whether you voted Labour or not, in fact, especially if you did not, I say to you directly: my government will serve you. Politics can be a force for good. We will show that. … Because no matter how fierce the storms of history [are], one of the great strengths of this nation has always been our ability to navigate away to calmer waters.
Starmer has made two public addresses in the aftermath of the mass killing of children by the son of Rwandan immigrants. The outrage follows weeks of reports of migrant crime, following decades of the organized rape of British children “on an industrialscale” by immigrant “grooming gangs.”
In 2015, Labour MP for Rotherham Sarah Champion said up to one million children had been raped by largely immigrant sex gangs. The latest report from January 2024 on the nationwide scandal says children have been “left at the mercy” of rapists, who are roaming free.
Starmer’s approval ratings have plummeted, with many saying he has added fuel to the fire. Starmer repeated his charge that “far-right racist thugs” are the problem, vowing to protect immigrants from the British people outraged at the crime wave fueled by mass migration driven by globalist wars.
Starmer is an activist lawyer, like Tony Blair before him. He is joined in his agenda by at least one more activist lawyer, who is suggesting Nigel Farage’s Reform Party be thrown out of Parliament on the same charges of far-right extremism.
Farage has said Starmer “hasn’t got a clue,” as attacks on the Reform leader rise in the press. Reform won over four million votes to return five members of Parliament, all of whom may now face expulsion for the charge of “giving legitimacy to violent protesters.”
British deep state intelligence asset Paul Mason has called for all media to be shut down which disagrees with the liberal globalist agenda he serves.
To fight fascism and defend democracy, Mad Old Paul Mason suggests we shut down news channels that are critical of the government and introduce mass censorship of the internet.

Starmer sets the nation ablaze
Fair Cop, a campaign group seeking to “remove politics from policing,” has joined many critics in saying Starmer’s words had turned a tragedy into a national crisis.
“Last week, Starmer set the nation on fire.”
‘Two-tier Keir’
The group reposted a statement from the U.K.’s most senior civilian police commissioner. Now withdrawn due to suspected government pressure under Starmer’s information crackdown, it accused the prime minister of pursuing a “two-tier” policing policy, with “the full force of the law” thrown at “far-right” protesters – but not at the armed and masked migrants and Muslims seen roaming Britain’s streets.
Starmer said on Sunday, “To those who feel targeted because of the colour of your skin … or your faith … I know how frightening this must be.”
Videos have circulated showing police standing by as mobs attack white British protesters, then leave a man critically injured. The police did not pursue the attackers.
“I think he’s dead.”
After this attack, police politely requested the same mob to leave their weapons at the mosque.
One Sky News report on “violent far-right riots” saw an armed masked gang of men of migrant background pass by, with no police in sight.

Even the BBC reported on the violence used by immigrant mobs against police and “pro-British demonstrators.”
Rebellion against mass migration?
Donna Jones, police and crime commissioner for Hampshire, was quoted in local news as saying the government was refusing to admit that “mass uncontrolled immigration” was fuelling the same “rebellion that has played out across France”. Jones explained that the protestors, whose violence she condemned, did indeed have motives which mattered. Her public statement was taken down after attracting widespread support – and criticism – from each side of the divide. She said:
Whilst the devastating attacks in Southport on Tuesday were a catalyst, the commonality amongst the protest groups appears to be focused on three key areas; the desire to protect Britain’s sovereignty; the need to uphold British values and in order to do this, stop illegal immigration.
She warned of the public mood, comparing it to that of France, which has seen widespread rioting and police and former generals warning of civil war.
The growth of feeling across the country has mirrored (to a lesser extent) the rebellion to illegal immigration that has played out across France over the last 12 months.
Jones said the Government is not addressing the cause but the symptoms of the problem – which has been caused by the liberal globalist policies of three decades of successive Labour and Conservative governments.
The Government must acknowledge what is causing this civil unrest in order to prevent it.
Arresting people, or creating violent disorder units, is treating the symptom and not the cause.
Reflecting the fact that every U.K. government elected since 1993 has promised to bring down immigration, she said this was the question which remains unanswered.
The questions these people want answering; what is the Government’s solution to mass uncontrolled immigration?
She complained that in an extraordinary move, neither she nor any of the U.K.’s community-elected crime commissioners had been invited to government meetings to shape the response to this mounting national crisis. She now faces calls to resign. Fair Cop greeted the news of the removal of her statement with a simple message:
Welcome to Keir Starmer’s police state.
Culture of silence
One reason for Starmer’s silence on the causes of this crime against the British nation is his own complicity in it. In 2003, Starmer was the lawyer who acted to secure the automatic right to free money, food, and hotel accommodation for a group of illegal migrants. Twenty-one years on, an estimated seven million immigrants have arrived in Britain. With migration levels rocketing, the U.K. population is projected to rise to almost 80 million by 2046, adding 16 million in the next 20 years – largely due to immigration.
Astonishingly, Starmer used his second address to the nation to say “people in this country have a right to be safe,” as the nation is wracked by fury at the fact their children can be killed at any time in the chaos he has helped to create.
This is now the most dangerous man in Britain – doubling down on his partisan rhetoric and further vilifying the ‘far-right’, rather than admitting his error and attempting to restore calm. Shame on you @Keir_Starmer. #TwoTierKeir #FarRightThugsUnite pic.twitter.com/jd5i7uqtFT

As he said the motive behind public anger “doesn’t matter,” Starmer said “the motivation for vast majority of the people in this country is to see their streets safe.”
Whilst Starmer can see no motive beyond “racist … far-right thuggery,” Tony Blair himself has warned of the danger of failing to address the crisis caused by mass migration.
Rachel Reeves, Starmer’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, warned in 2016 that “riots could sweep Britain if immigration is not curbed” – a surmise marked by its absence from the Labour government’s move to designate the victims of crime as the enemy of the state. It is a move towards the digital identities Blair himself has promoted as recently as last week. The move will require the “a little persuading” of the public, Blair claimed last month, as he touted digital IDs as a means of managing mass migration.
“We should move as the world is moving to digital ID,” he said at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change conference, saying digital ID was a way to “control immigration.”
The plan appears to replace not only the population, but democracy itself – with a transition to AI-driven digital governance powered by the liberal globalist algorithm.

In response to Starmer’s divisive digital tyranny, thousands of ordinary Britons have identified themselves as “far-right thugs.” The polarizing statements of the prime minister have united ordinary people against them, which ignore their outrage over the danger to the public presented by uncontrolled mass migration.
Former police and armed forces members, parents and grandparents are among those embracing the label under #FarRightThugsUnite.
One “far-right” black man notes the contrast between Starmer’s response to the Black Lives Matter riots and the protests by British people.
I’m a black man…my fellow black people were allowed to protest, riot, destroy businesses and Sir Keir and Angela Rayner took the knee for that…
Today I’m a Far Right for wanting my white friends to be treated with the same respect this Leadership showed my fellow black folks. pic.twitter.com/nwsnA2mDUR

In an historic moment of sectarian unity, Irish Nationalists and Ulster British Nationalists have united to fight back against the chaos of mass migration. 500 years of sectarian division in Northern Ireland made the unity of Irish people an impossible dream. Until now.

Now this is interesting.
Irish and British nationalists are standing side by side protesting against mass immigration while the left tries to shout them down.

Globalist ‘democracy’
The demand to lower immigration has been made for 30 years through the electoral process, as the liberal globalist consensus has pursued its own agenda regardless of the will of its electorate. Democracy has denied the British people a voice for decades.
Starmer has divided the nation, vowing to use the law to prosecute those who complain of the living hell these globalist policies have made of their lives. His strategy of digital surveillance and censorship reflects the last resort of liberal globalism, which has taken similar measures across the U.S. and Europe. These governments cannot fix the problem, because their policies have created the problem.
Liberal globalists are the problem, and they are using the name of the law to criminalize and silence anyone who disagrees with them, in words or in action. This is the last resort of the liberal order – and it is deeply illiberal to imprison your political enemies.
The enemy of the liberal globalist order are their own populations, and this order is now creating chaos in the name of the law to justify a permanent digital tyranny. It is fighting for its life against those of its own people.
It is hard to see how any words or actions from Keir Starmer can restore order to a Britain broken by globalist regime change. How far wrong can he be? So far, there is plenty of force promised by Keir Starmer’s government, but none of it for good.
