London’s blind panic

London’s blind panic

As I discussed it in last week’s TrendCompass report, the recent release of Epstein files caused quite a panic in the ranks of UK’s political establishment, prompting the Prince of Darkness, Lord Peter Mandelson to resign from the Labour Party and from the House of Lords.

Yes, that’s Elon Musk and Sir Keir Starmer is right to be scared. Bear with me…

Lies on top lies and sign language

Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer faced the public and offered a profuse apology to Epstein’s victims:

I am sorry. Sorry for what was done to you. Sorry that so many people with power failed you. Sorry for having believed Mandelson’s lies and appointing him. … It had been publicly known for some time that Mandelson knew Epstein. But none of us knew the depth, and the darkness of that relationship.

It was awkward and painful to hear. Interestingly, BBC’s footage of Starmer’s speech featured a sign language interpreter – a throwback to the bad old days of the Covid19 pandemic when sign language interpreters were included without fail, as a visual distraction whenever and wherever public officials had to lie through their teeth and mislead the public.

Gay old time: Mandelson and Starmer in better times

Of course, Starmer too, was lying. His pretence that he appointed the Prince of Darkness as Ambassador to the U.S. because he believed his lies is simply inconceivable.

“It’s usually small boys!”

Even for much less important appointments in government, the official vetting process is extremely rigorous, conducted by multiple agencies, reviewers and interrogators. No stone is left unturned to make sure that the “right” candidate is selected. Craig Murray, who was appointed as Ambassador to Uzbekistan in 2002 (a bit less important than Ambassadorship to the U.S.), described the process, which was conducted by MI5.

Murray explained that the interviewing officer spent “four months of his life doing nothing but investigate me full time.” Incidentally, this officer told Murray, regarding his “extensive” love life, that it “makes a change to be looking at relationships with women in a Foreign Office case. It’s usually small boys!” Sir Keir Starmer would have us all believe that he appointed Lord Peter Mandelson as Britain’s Ambassador to Washington simply because in his innocence, he believed Mandelson’s lies. He was deceived, you see. We were all deceived. Mistakes were made.

Always looking for the brightest and the best

The truth is that in our Empire of Lies, compromised individuals are the most favored candidates for key positions of power. The obvious benefit of recruiting such individuals is that they are easily controlled. This is not unique to Great Britain. In 2017, in the aftermath of the “Pizzagate” scandal, FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds recounted what she learned from an FBI colleague who worked for four years (1993-1997) running background checks on candidates for federal judges. He said that individuals with most “skeletons in their closets” were systematically appointed to become federal judges. Those with unblemished records were not considered.

Sir Keir Starmer is himself the product of this same process: a pliable, compromised sock puppet in the service of oligarchic power which is deliberately concealed from view. When such low-calibre, compromised individuals find themselves in positions of power, they’ll do whatever their superiors demand, without asking too many questions.

Epstein files are only the tip of the iceberg

Sir Keir proved his loyalty to the party and to the establishment particularly between 2008 and 2013 when he was the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). During that time, the “grooming gang” scandal had gained notoriety in the U.K. As the British public learned, or should have learned, between the 1980s (some say 1970s) and early 2010s, gangs of men of Pakistani and Bangladeshi descent systematically groomed, drugged and serially raped girls from disadvantaged backgrounds in English towns across the country.

The abuse was reported in 50 towns and cities, including Oxford and Bristol. Hundreds of thousands of English girls were targeted, at least 15,000 of them were raped and a number of them were murdered in what was described as, “the biggest peacetime crime and coverup in British history.” For some reason however, this crime was being systematically covered up at every level of the British system, including the media, and Sir Keir played the key role in the coverup.

Almost as soon as he became DPP, the Crown Prosecution Services imposed reporting restrictions on the case, shielding the criminal gangs and their members from public scrutiny and from prosecution. Nine months into the job, Starmer inexplicably dropped all charges against members of the notorious Rochdale grooming gang, in spite of incriminating DNA evidence and hours of video testimony collected by the investigators. The rapists walked free and the case was closed.

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, another vulgar product of the Empire’s system of negative selection, said that money spent on investigating child abuse crimes was money “spaffed up a wall.” For their part, the British media have worked incessantly to shove the grooming gangs scandal down the memory hole and stigmatize anyone who complained about it as a racist and Islamophobe, showing zero concern about the gangs innocent victims.

Enter Elon Musk

The whole story might have fallen into oblivion if it wasn’t for the Trump 2.0 administration and Elon Musk. Soon after Trump won the 2024 elections, Musk started posting pointed jabs at the British establishment in general and Sir Keir in particular. Here’s how Euronews commented on the scandal last January:

A raft of erratic social media posts by the billionaire tech mogul has put a decades-long child sexual abuse scandal back under the political spotlight.

Elon Musk has reignited a political debate in the UK around the crimes of gangs of men who systemically groomed and raped children in English towns over several decades.

In a flurry of posts on his social platform X, the billionaire has taken aim at senior UK Labour figures, claiming prime minister Keir Starmer was “deeply complicit in the mass rapes in exchange for votes.”

He also called safeguarding minister Jess Phillips a “rape genocide apologist” and called for her to be imprisoned.

One of the many posts read, “Starmer must go and he must face charges for his complicity in the worst mass crime in the history of Britain.” Another: Starmer “repeatedly ignored the pleas of vast numbers of little girls and their parents…” And another: the Prime Minister was “deeply complicit in the mass rapes in exchange for votes.”

Should America liberate the people of Britain?

But perhaps his most interesting post was a poll, asking his 234 million followers the following question: “America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government.” It was a yes/no question to which 58% of his respondents answered in the affirmative.

At the time, I enjoyed Musk’s posts but I thought they were little more than mischievous trolling. By today I suspect there was a lot more to them, especially the statement in Musk’s poll, which could explain the blind panic in the ranks of Britain’s political establishment. It may also explain their vicious crackdown on free speech, especially against those who are less than enthusiastic about the uncontrolled immigration.

Deathly afraid of its own people

British “elites” have truly dug themselves into a deep hole. They’ve been poking the Russian bear and angered it. They gutted Britain’s economy with the hare-brained net zero policies. They went to war against their own people, arresting over 12,000 in 2025 for social media posts. The figures below are for 2023:

It is still more interesting to consider these figures in relative terms – the number of arrests per 1 million inhabitants:

British establishment fears the British people

Sir Keir seldom misses the chance to extol Britain’s complete devotion to free speech, but, as Stalin used to say: when the British say something, they actually mean exactly the opposite. The truth is that apart from Belarus, Britain is the world’s undisputed champion of censorship and repression of free speech. One would almost think that the establishment is deathly afraid of their own people.

Master alienates the Blaster

On top of all this, the British government has managed even to lose their close ally, the United States. That “special relationship” was perhaps their main assurance, allowing them to misbehave so arrogantly and so confidently on the world stage.

And now, even the tide of public opinion at home is turning against them. I suspect that if Elon Musk ran his poll about liberating the British people today, the proportion of positive responses would probably be substantially higher than 58%.

These circumstances explain the unconvincing, “it was the Russians,” counter narrative in a desperate attempt to deflect public anger toward the bad, no good, evil tyrant from the East. If only they could somehow convince the British people to go to war against Russia and sacrifice their children en masse, the London cabal might still have a fighting chance to rescue themselves and their pathogenic system.

Poor Britain

And this is the “freedom” your grandparents’ generation fought Hitler for? You were conned. You “won” the war but lost your Empire and have slowly lost your freedoms. Britons are being jailed for anti-immigration comments on the social media. President Trump asked British Prime Minister Keir Starmer about this during his visit to Scotland. Starmer lied to him and told him the Internet censorship existed to prevent abuse of children.

Britain’s Woke Elite & Thought Police Go Bonkers Trying to Suppress Dissent on the Internet

 Free Speech is Under Siege in Starmer’s UKThese Orwellian nightmarish attacks on free speech and liberty are being planned for the entire world… 

The UK is currently experiencing a massive attack on free speech, spearheaded by new Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is encouraging police to use the full force of controversial British laws to crack down on social media posts.The push for more online censorship has spanned many years, and different governments in the UK have gained new momentum with the recent protests and riots.Emboldened by the crisis, officials seem to be using it to step up the already existing, multi-year effort to get social media companies to “cooperate” with the authorities.It has now emerged that the government in London has started flagging content it deems to be “misinformation” – but also something referred to as “concerning content.”X is among those who have been asked to remove posts which British officials consider to threaten the country’s national security; and while reports say Google, Meta, and TikTok are complying with these demands, X is said to be resisting them.The accusations that social sites are “providing a platform for hate” while allegedly unaccountable for that is coming from cabinet members and MPs alike.Science, Innovation, and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle has revealed that he and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper are working to get content they consider “harmful” removed from the internet

.Recent actions in the UK regarding the apprehension of individuals for disseminating “incorrect information” highlight a concerning trend that threatens the very core of free speech—a foundational pillar of Western democracies.These developments suggest an alarming escalation in government and law enforcement involvement in regulating online speech, which traditionally enjoys broad protections under democratic norms.The use of existing laws, such as the Public Order Act 1986, to arrest individuals for their online speech is deeply troubling to civil liberties groups.While maintaining public order is a legitimate concern of the state, the broad application of these laws and combining accusations of “stirring racial hatred” with instances of alleged “misinformation” is supercharging an attack on free speech.The introduction of the UK’s most recent censorship law, the “Online Safety Act” further complicates this, with supporters of censorship like Kyle, suggesting that the already-controversial act doesn’t go far enough.As far as Kyle is concerned, he is looking for ways for the government to be able to control online speech to an even greater extent.





The primary catalyst appears to be the recent riots and social unrest following tragic incidents, like the knife attack in Southport.Axel Rudakubana is an 18-year-old who has been charged with the murders of three young girls during a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, England. The victims were Bebe King, aged six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, aged seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, aged nine. In addition to the murder charges, Rudakubana faces charges of attempted murder against a yoga class instructor, a businessman, and eight children, as well as possession of a kitchen knife with a curved blade.Rudakubana was born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents and lived in Banks, Lancashire, England. UK police are alleging that early posts stating that Rudakubana was a Muslim have fueled online hatred and prosecutors are using claims of “misinformation.”Yet while those in the US may be familiar with false allegations being a civil matter, as the First Amendment largely protects citizens from criminal charges for such incidents; in the UK, where free speech is struggling, citizens don’t have the same protections under the current law

.In Cheshire, police have taken anti-lockdown campaigner Bernadette “Bernie” Spofforth into custody for allegedly spreading misleading information on social media about a suspect involved in the Southport killings. According to Cheshire police, she faces charges of inciting racial hatred and disseminating false information. Police allege that her actions are part of a broader issue of online misinformation sparking violence nationwide.The controversy centers on a social media post attributed to Spofforth, in which she identified “Ali Al-Shakati” as the Southport suspect, describing him as an “asylum seeker who came to the UK by boat last year” and claiming he was under surveillance by MI6. The post ominously noted, “If this is true, then all hell is about the break loose.”Chief Superintendent Alison Ross commented on the situation, saying, “We have all seen the violent disorder that has taken place across the UK over the past week, much of which has been fueled by malicious and inaccurate communications online. It’s a stark reminder of the dangers of posting information on social media platforms without checking the accuracy. It also acts as a warning that we are all accountable for our actions, whether that be online or in person.”Even the much-criticized Online Safety Act, a sweeping censorship law, is now not enough as far as Kyle is concerned, as he is looking for ways for the government to be able to control online speech to an even greater extent.

The UK’s new Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a forthcoming review of the Online Safety Act. During his visit to a police station on Friday, just before two individuals were imprisoned for using social media to incite attacks on asylum seeker accommodations, Starmer emphasized that social media must not be a “law-free zone.”London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who criticized the legislation as inadequate and in urgent need of revision, also suggested it doesn’t go far enough and more censorship power is needed.“I do agree that we’re going to have to look more broadly at social media after this disorder,” Starmer said. “But the focus at the moment has to be on dealing with the disorder and making sure that our communities are safe and secure.”Starmer further commented on what he believes should be the responsibilities of social media executives, telling them to prioritize community safety. He affirmed, “The first thing I’d say is, this is not a law-free zone. And I think that’s clear from the prosecutions and sentencing. Today we’re due sentencing for online behavior.”And, the government has brought in the National Security Online Information Team (NSOIT) to monitor online activity “discussing the deaths of the three children killed in Southport and the rioting,” as Kyle put it.NSOIT, previously known as the Counter Disinformation Unit, is infamous for its censorship “handiwork” during the Covid pandemic when it flagged accurate posts from politicians and journalists simply for being critical of the government’s policy.Conservative MP David Davis previously called for the unit to be disbanded, but now, he doesn’t mind “deploying” it to once again police speech: “It’s perfectly legitimate for the state to monitor things that might incite violence,” said Davis.Big Brother Watch Director Silkie Carlo writes that Kyle is “reviving Whitehall’s disgraced Counter Disinformation Unit” and warns that it would be a “grave mistake” to further undermine free speech as it would simply “inflame tensions, sow distrust and undermine democracy.”Carlo also warns about “the very neat response of online censorship that benefits elites who have never really trusted us with free and open access to information online.”

Meanwhile, Director of Public Prosecutions for England and Wales Stephen Parkinson has told citizens not to reshare posts that are “insulting or abusive (…) intended to or likely to start racial hatred.”Some reports interpret this to mean citizens could be prosecuted even if they are sharing that content as a warning to others.The UK government issued a stern warning to its citizens regarding the risks of sharing potentially offensive content online, particularly in the context of the recent riots. Those who incite “hatred” could face imprisonment, as stated in a post by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) on the social media platform X.“Think before you post!” the CPS advised.But it’s not just UK citizens that officials are threatening.Sir Mark Rowley, the head of the Metropolitan Police, said that what he terms “keyboard warriors” could face terrorism charges for their online behavior that incites violence, even if they are based overseas.“And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you,” highlighting the extended reach of law enforcement to those instigating unrest from afar,” Rowley said to Sky News.“Being a keyboard warrior does not make you safe from the law, you can be guilty of offenses of incitement, of stirring up racial hatred, there are numerous terrorist offenses regarding the publishing of material, and all of those offenses are in play if people are provoking hatred and violence on the streets and we will come after those individuals just as we will physically confront on the streets the thugs and the yobs who are causing the problems for communities.”Keir Starmer has asserted that criticisms of police and accusations of a two-tier policing system in the UK are themselves dangerous. This could have troubling implications for free speech.X owner Elon Musk, who is facing censorship calls from Starmer, called out Starmer’s hypocrisy, highlighting how the Prime Minister himself criticized police back in 2021. “What a hypocrite,” Musk posted.By framing such critiques as not only unfounded but also hazardous, there’s a risk that public discourse may be stifled.This stance might discourage individuals from voicing legitimate concerns about policing, out of fear that their criticisms could be seen as harmful or destabilizing.It suggests a scenario where the public might hesitate to hold law enforcement accountable, which is a crucial aspect of democratic oversight. The suggestion that voicing concerns about police practices can endanger officers potentially shifts the focus from the need for transparency and accountability in policing to a narrative that prioritizes the suppression of dissent to protect police image and safety. This could undermine the principle of free expression, which includes the right to critique and question government institutions.
