MEME MONDAY #70

As promised, it was a bumper week for our Karl and the increase in output just happened to coincide with Chairman Starmer's worst week yet as PM. Unfortunately, our distribution on Facebook remains drastically low with no obvious reason for the reduction. As such, this hits our monetisation hard and last month's return from Meta was a record low.

While this started as a hobby almost eleven years ago, it has grown into a major project that is hampered by the fact we both work full time. Funding could seriously impact our ability to do more, but sadly we generate barely enough to pay for our web domain and X subscription. Donations are rare, but incredibly helpful as they are a crucial morale booster that shows us that our efforts are in some way appreciated. The best way to do this is through the buymeacoffee site here, which we have re-styled as 'Buy us a pint each'.

Thank you.

LABOUR'S PAKISTANI LOVE-IN

75 years ago the end of the British Raj triggered the independence of both India and Pakistan. While some Labour politicians were largely silent about the former, many of them wallowed in the celebration of the latter. Sadiq Khan tweeted or retweeted about Pakistan no less than ten times on Sunday. No great surprise there really, but it was Starmer's tweet that was seen as a slap in the face for a generation of British girls. "Britain's a far richer country for the contribution of the British Pakistani community" he crowed. Thousands of victims of Pakistani grooming gangs up and down the country may beg to differ about their 'contribution'...

Needless to say, Starmer's tweet was not well received. "How exactly has Britain grown richer from the Pakistani diaspora to the UK?" asked Mark Cropper, "I see people who remain separate, who reject British culture and adhere to the depraved morals of the Third World." Alan Quinn wrote: "Rape gangs, hordes of thugs, honour killings in their own families, female genital mutilation, animal cruelty, Sharia law, disrespect for British laws, forcing cinemas to close, no women's rights?"

The Labour leader did not mention the independence of India on his Twitter timeline.

Starmer may be prepared to stand in front of a Union flag these days, but make no mistake - he and his party are no friends of Britain.

"WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE"

With the current media-driven hysteria surrounding coronavirus it was inevitable that the virus would feature prominently in this week's edition of Question Time. With Glasgow hosting the show, it was Scottish politicians trying to outdo each other on who would manage the 'crisis' best. The SNP's Kate Forbes defended her government's approach, while Tory MP Andrew Bowie defended his government's approach. This left the hapless Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar to formulate something different.

He didn't disappoint in that regard. Having begun to waffle he was interrupted by host Fiona Bruce and then came up with something that is on a par with the tyranny currently being meted out to citizens of other Western nations - if not, then surpassing it.

Sarwar suggested that unvaccinated Brits should be confronted on their own doorsteps. He called it 'door to door vaccination', but did not say whether such a course of action would involve force.

Click below to see the dramatic moment.

The most worrying thing about Sarwar's bombshell is that no-one bats an eyelid and Fiona Bruce does not even pick him up on it, therefore normalising his remark. Are there no depths to which our new dystopian societies won't stoop? Perhaps that is not a question we should be asking.

Despite the on-air bickering, it was all smiles back stage in this selfie that Sarwar
posted to his Twitter account - that is, except for Brian Cox, the actor and
separatist who is never happy unless he's moaning about something

LABOUR SUSPEND BECKETT

Labour has suspended a top union official after he tweeted that 'Priti Patel should be deported'. Howard Beckett (pictured above) is a member of the Unite union and is hoping to succeed Len McCluskey as general secretary later this year. He also sits on Labour's National Executive Committee as a Unite representative.

Following yesterday's stand-off in Glasgow over the arrest of two migrants, Beckett tweeted the following:

Following a swift backlash, Beckett deleted the tweet and issued a string of tweets that became gradually more apologetic and culminated in a direct apology to the Home Secretary.

Much like the leftist mob that prevented the removal of the two migrants on Thursday, Beckett's use of emotive language is based on lies. The men in question are neither refugees or have fled war zones - they are both Indian nationals. This was confirmed in a Home Office statement:

"The UK government is tackling illegal immigration and the harm it causes, often to the most vulnerable people by removing those with no right to be in the UK. The operation in Glasgow was conducted in relation to suspected immigration offences and the two Indian nationals complied with officers at all times. The UK government continues to tackle illegal migration in all its forms and our New Plan for Immigration will speed up the removal of those who have entered the UK illegally".

The Glasgow flash mob was well organised and dozens of 'refugees welcome' placards could be seen. The far left nature of the crowd was in evidence with some protesters holding red flags, while a Palestinian flag was hoisted to a lamp post next to the Home Office van.

Empowering the mob with condemnation of the Home Office were the usual suspects. Nicola Sturgeon, her justice secretary Hamza Yousef and Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar were among those voicing their disapproval. Sarwar's reaction was retweeted by Keir Stamer.

It's Black Lives Matter all over again. Condoning mob rule does not end well.

No-one voted for left-wing mobs. No-one voted for Howard Beckett and his communist ilk. The silent overwhelming majority demand law and order. If these men are illegal immigrants then they must be removed, plain and simple. Perhaps next time though - in order to wrong-foot the leftist losers - the job should be done on a Sunday morning.

SARWAR'S PRIVATE SCHOOL HYPOCRISY

Scottish Labour's new leader faced accusations of hypocrisy as he launched his party's Holyrood manifesto on Thursday. In traditional socialist fashion, the 114-page manifesto contains criticism of private schools, stating: "Scottish Labour will end all public sector support for fee-paying private schools, implementing the recommendations made by the Barclay Review to end their charitable status for rates relief as a contribution towards achieving a more socially just and inclusive society".

It will of course come as no surprise that Anas Sarwar sends his own children to a private school. Like many Labour politicians before him, he is guilty of the rank hypocrisy of 'do as I say, not as I do'.

At the manifesto launch he was asked when he'd first realised that private schools were a threat to a 'more socially just and inclusive society'. He replied: "I have supported this policy ever since Kez Dugdale was leader and it was first proposed in our manifesto, and I proudly support it now. I’m open about the fair question and the fair criticism that people make around the decision that my wife and I made for our children. Every parent wants to do what’s best for their children, but I want every child to have opportunity".

Sarwar was then probed further on the matter several times, one reporter asking if he accepted accusations that he was 'a humbug and a hypocrite'. "You can call me whatever you like, I've been called worse than that" was his response. "Is it an accurate criticism?" he was pushed again. Sarwar: "As I’ve made clear before, I accept it’s a fair criticism. I’ve been open and honest about this. There are different forms of inequality and prejudice that my children will face that other children won’t face. That still means I accept the criticism around the choice that I’ve made for my children’s own education".

Sarwar didn't elaborate on what inequalities and prejudice his children would face, but there are plenty of fellow Asian pupils at their school - Hutchesons' Grammar School in Glasgow. There is even a Muslim assembly once a month. According to The Herald, school fees there currently range from £9,812 to £12,649 per pupil per year. That's peanuts for the Sarwar family, whose political dynasty began in Scotland with his father Mohammad Sarwar.

Mohammad moved to the UK from Pakistan in 1976 and later founded a cash and carry chain, United Wholesale Grocers. By 2017 the firm had a turnover of £234 million. He became a Glasgow city councillor in 1992 and in 1997 was elected MP for Glasgow Govan. In 2010 he stood down and was replaced by his son Anas. Anas was kicked out of Westminster in the 2015 SNP surge, but was elected to Holyrood a year later.

Meanwhile, his father returned to his native Pakistan, renounced his British citizenship and is currently the governor of Punjab province. This followed his failure to obtain a peerage in 2010. A life peerage had been recommended by outgoing Prime Minister Gordon Brown, but was reportedly blocked by HMRC due to concerns about his financial dealings. At that time Mohammad's other son Athif was awaiting an appeal against a conviction for fraud, relating to money laundering. He was cleared in 2011.
