MEME MONDAY #46

A whopping twenty memes from Karl last week helped chronicle a week packed full of disturbing revelations about the rise of Starmer's police state.  The week had begun with a demolition of Starmer by President Trump, during which the PM repeated his claim that: "We've had free speech in the United Kingdom for a very long time".  These were the same words he uttered during his brief spat with JD Vance in the Oval Office earlier this year.  The word 'had' - past tense - makes for clever gaslighting, but Starmer is fooling no-one.

The cat is well and truly out of the bag now and with a digital ID on the way, our descent into tyranny is well on track...

the week, it also led to huge constitutional debate in the
comments about whether or not London is 'the capital city of
Mrs Trump's homeland'.   Mary Anne MacLeod was born on the
Isle of Lewis in Scotland in 1912, which would have made her a
British subject - not a British citizen as argued by Richey.  The
two are similar, but not the same.  Whether Mrs Trump
considered herself Scottish, British or both is not clear, but
regardless of her feelings on nationality, she was both.  The
question of London being the capital city is complicated by the
constitutional nature of the United Kingdom, but where Richey
argued that London is the capital of Great  Britain he is
technically incorrect.  London was the capital of Great Britain
from 1707 to 1801, but then became the capital of the newly
formed United Kingdom and has remained since.  Great Britain
ceased to exist as a sovereign state in 1801, therefore Richey is
mistaken.  The meme itself can still be regarded factually correct
if Mrs Trump's homeland refers to the United Kingdom and not
Great Britain or Scotland.  In any case, the meme was still
very popular!

The rabid reaction to a pretty white girl modelling some jeans and a clever play

person has good 'jeans' (genes), but not a white person.  The biggest racists
are the left, never forget it!

In addition to a busy week of meming, Karl also found time to post five Facebook Stories, including news of a very good couple of days on the backup page.  The strange thing is that despite adding more than 30,000 followers to the backup page this year, the net gain in following on the main page remains zero.  Distribution of the main page is much greater than the backup page, so this does not make any sense.  If anyone has found themselves being mysteriously removed from following us, be sure to let us know.  You can contact us directly via X.

Appreciate what we do?  You can buy us a pint each here.  Last week we had to fork out for our annual web domain fee and next month it's Cloud storage - which is vital to maintain Karl's good work should the elite police squad come knocking!

STARMER IS A C***

Unfortunately, Starmer wasn't at Saturday's game

On Saturday night around 7,000 England away fans took up a couple of chants that summed up the general mood of the nation.  To the tune of 'Give it Up' by KC and the Sunshine Band, they sang "Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na now, Starmer is a c***, is a c***, Starmer is a c***."  They are also reported to have chanted "Keir Starmer is a wanker, is a wanker."

The fans had travelled to Barcelona, but were subjected to one of the most dire performances in living memory as their team struggled to beat that 'mighty' football nation of Andorra - population less than Weston-super-Mare.  Perhaps it was a sign of their frustration beyond the footy, that inspired them to strike up the chant.  Despite ITV's attempts to phase out the chants, they were audible enough to make headlines.

On Sunday morning, Trevor Phillips of Sky News put it to Labour minister Peter Kyle that the obscene chants displayed a 'level of unpopularity' that was perhaps 'a little early' in Labour's term.  Hove MP Kyle tried to laugh off the question by inferring that the England team do not concern him, as he only watches Brighton and Hove Albion.  Not a good response, if you are on a national station trying to win over the nation.

Kyle's floundering response didn't get any better as he added:  "This is football chanting, is it not the spirit of the game?"  Phillips pointed to the England manager's assessment of the chanting, who said it had been 'unacceptable'.  Kyle then embarked on the usual 'we've had to take difficult decisions' line, because Labour inherited such a mess from the terrible Tories.

Watch the clip below.

No, Peter, England fans won't be chanting 'nice things about' Labour next time around.  They won't forget in a hurry that all their bills continue to rise, their disposable income shrinks, crime continues to spiral and the invasion by small boats grows.  These are the consequences of decisions that you say you 'had to make', but which you had previously pledged not to make.

In short, you lied in order to get into office.

VANCE SLAMS EURO TYRANNY

While the international media has focused on President Trump and his DOGE supremo Elon Musk, other important figures in the new US administration have been pushed to the periphery, awaiting their moment to shine.  On Friday it was very much Vice President JD Vance who took the spotlight, with a blistering 20 minute address to assembled European dignitaries in Munich.

The Munich Security Conference was meant to reflect a globalist agenda, with a set guest list of anointed puppets who would otherwise listen to the same message being trotted out by a set of puppet speakers.  Unfortunately for the organisers, there was a cat let loose among the globalist pigeons and it came in the form of JD Vance.

The US VP began his speech by referencing the horrific vehicle ramming attack that had taken place in the host city just 24 hours earlier.  Two of the victims of that incident are now dead, as is a victim of another migrant terrorist attack in neighbouring Austria a day later.  Vance said that the Munich victims were in American prayers, which drew applause.  He then joked that he hoped it would not be the last applause he heard, knowing full well that the speech he was about to deliver would not be well received by those present.

One of those in the audience was Peter Kyle, the UK Secretary of State for Science and Technology.  The camera panned to Kyle a couple of times during Vance's speech, including a rare moment when a handful of delegates managed to halfheartedly clap their hands.  At that point Kyle was completely motionless, like the vast majority of those present.

Why?

Because JD Vance spoke for 20 straight minutes defending a number of old European values that are anathema to the globalist establishment.  A rapid decline in free speech and democracy, tied with open borders, were high on Vance's agenda.  It was not so much that the organisers and delegates feared his words, in so much as they feared his words would be heard by their voters.  They know that most people across Europe would wholeheartedly agree with Vance's words, only many are afraid to say or repeat them for fear of being labelled 'racist', guilty of 'disinformation' or worse still - arrested.

Watch the full glorious speech below.

CAPLIN'S POWERFUL FOLLOWERS

Just a few of the prominent faces who follow Caplin's sordid X account

*** UPDATE *** Caplin deleted his X account on Thursday afternoon

Earlier this week we exposed the sickening debauchery of Ivor Caplin's X feed.  It was a small microcosm of something that would take Caplin hours, if not days, to delete now that he has been released from custody.  While it's not yet clear if he has been charged or released on bail, we know that he began using his X account again on Wednesday, because he retweeted several (non-pornographic) posts.  If no charges are brought against Caplin it would be an outrage, as the self-styled 'paedophile hunters' who snared him will have supplied police with all the proof they need.  Furthermore, police officers are known to have raided Caplin's Hove flat while he was in custody and according to neighbours the search 'took several hours'.

However, we also know that Caplin has powerful friends.  As soon as news broke of his arrest, X users began to make notes of who followed his account and the names were huge...

The official Labour party X account was following Caplin's account at the time of his arrest, although it was quickly unfollowed after the news broke.  Many other high profile Labour figures also followed Caplin on X, some of whom have since unfollowed him - including the likes of Yvette Cooper and Wes Streeting - but not before eagle-eyed X users screenshot their names.

At the time of his arrest, serving Labour MPs who followed Caplin's X account included Luke Akehurst (North Durham), Phil Brickell (Bolton West), Liam Byrne (Birmingham Hodge Hill), Jim Dickson (Dartford), Clive Efford (Eltham & Chislehurst), Fabian Hamilton (Leeds East), Sharon Hodgson (Washington & Gateshead South), Dan Jarvis (Barnsley North), Gerald Jones (Merthyr & Aberdare), Alison McGovern (Birkenhead), Anna McMorrin (Cardiff North), Fred Thomas (Plymouth Moor View), Gareth Thomas (Harrow West), Matt Turmaine (Watford), Paul Waugh (Rochdale) and Catherine West (Hornsey & Friern Barnet).

Serving Labour ministers who follow or followed his account include Janet Daby (Lewisham East), Stephen Doughty (Cardiff South & Penarth), Nia Griffith (Llanelli), Andrew Gwynne (Gorton & Denton), Peter Kyle (Hove & Portslade), Luke Pollard (Plymouth Sutton & Devonport), Jonathan Reynolds (Stalybridge & Hyde) and last, but not least - Yvette Cooper, Dave Lammy, Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting.

At the time of writing, Caplin's account is also followed by Lord (Michael) Cashman, Baroness (Janet) Royall, Baroness (Jacqui) Smith, former MPs Wayne David and Julie Elliot, former PM Gordon Brown and the despicable Alastair Campbell.  However, the name of most interest is that of the deceased former MP Jack Dromey, who - along with Patricia Hewitt and his wife Harriet Harman - were involved in the PIE scandal of the 1970s.  P.I.E stands for the Paedophile Information Exchange, which campaigned for the abolition of the age of consent and was linked to a libertarian group of which the trio were prominent members.

For those who suspect that the total lack of media coverage over the weekend from the major news channels is perhaps indicative of some kind of conspiracy, it will surely be of interest to note that many journalists follow Caplin too - including the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, the senior editor of Newsnight, the i newspaper's Benjamin Butterworth, Dan Hodges of The Daily Mail and many more.  If they were able and/or willing to report freely, why did none of them expose the disgusting content of Caplin's X feed?

Finally, to cap it all off, Caplin's account is followed by the official X account of the Crown Prosecution Service.  It will be of no great surprise to anyone if no charges are brought...

LABOUR'S MUSK BOYCOTT

Labour ministers have faced awkward questions over their apparent snub of Elon Musk from the UK government's recent investment summit.  Responding to BBC claims that Musk was not invited because of his political views, Keir Starmer said he would 'welcome' any UK investment from the world's richest man.  So why was he not invited this year?

Peter Kyle did his best to explain away Musk's absence by way of saying the summit was for existing and potential investors only, albeit Musk had been invited to last year's event (under the Tory government).  Musk has since stated that he is happy to invest in the UK, but it appears that mocking our hapless Prime Minister on X and endorsing Donald Trump gets you frozen out.

Jonathan Reynolds faired far worse in a Sky News interview with Trevor Phillips.  The Business Secretary repeatedly dodged the question and ended up humiliating himself as Phillips persisted to the point of exasperation.

Watch below.

Labour's Musk snub will surely come back to bite them, as will their pathetic school playground stances against Donald Trump during his presidency.  If Trump returns to the White House, which is currently more likely than not, there will surely be some humble pie for various Labour politicians now in government.  Our current Foreign Secretary repeatedly insulted President Trump, labelling him a 'neo-Nazi sympathiser' and a 'sociopath' amongst other things.  Here's to Dave eating that humble pie...

STARMER OMITS SINN FEIN MEETING

Keir Starmer has been passing himself off as some kind of statesman in a visit to Ireland over the past 24 hours.  Accompanied by his shadow Northern Ireland spokesman Peter Kyle, Sir Squeaky was received by the Irish Taoiseach, the President of Ireland, the defence and foreign affairs minister, the finance minister and the Irish Labour Party leader.  He posted a series of tweets from the visit, including a set of photos from some of those aforementioned meetings...

He also tweeted the following...

He also retweeted the Taoiseach, the President, the Irish Foreign Ministry, finance minister, Trinity College Dublin and the Belfast Telegraph.  However, there was another meeting that neither Starmer or Kyle wanted voters to know about.  Unfortunately for both of them, the other party at that meeting was not so shy about it...

That's right folks, Starmer and Kyle had a cosy sit down meeting with Sinn Fein's leader Mary Lou McDonald (and yes, that is a Palestinian flag in her profile picture).

 

Why the secrecy Sir Keir?  Is it perhaps that you realise how damaging such acquaintances can be perceived back home?  At least Jeremy Corbyn was straight up and honest about his relationship with Marxist terrorists.

This is not the first time that Starmer has been embarrassed by a Sinn Fein figure.  When he was elected Labour leader in 2020 one of those who congratulated him was Martina Anderson, a former IRA bomber who was arrested in 1985 alongside Brighton bomber Patrick Magee.  She was sentenced to life the following year for conspiring to cause explosions.  In a Facebook post, she posted the following photograph of the pair together.

THE TOP 20 CHICKENS

Following Labour's u-turn, the government's general election bill was passed in the Commons by a whopping 418 majority.  It still has to pass through the House of Lords, but is likely to gain royal assent by the end of the week.  Predictably it won't move as swiftly as the Benn Surrender Act did.  Nothing moves that fast!

Embarrassingly for Corbyn almost half of his own MPs refused to back his newfound enthusiasm for a general election. 104 abstained in the final vote, while a further 11 voted against, making a complete mockery of Corbyn's triumphant announcement earlier in the day that his party was "totally united".

There were 20 MPs in total who opposed the final reading of the bill, many of whom clearly desperate to cling on to the Westminster gravy train for as long as possible.  More than half of them were Labour, including the most despicable parasites of all ie. those who are standing down anyway at the next election, but who wanted to stay on and milk the system just that little bit longer.  They are all unapologetic Remainers, so some of them will be fearing the election of a pro-Leave Parliament.  We've put our suggestions for their main motives in italics.  Obviously there's no doubting the motives for Change UK...

Green

Caroline Lucas (Brighton Pavilion) - safe seat, fears a Brexit majority

Independent Unionist

Lady Hermon (North Down) - shrinking majority, running scared

WILLIAMSON HUMILIATED IN BRIGHTON

Chris Williamson's planned rally in Brighton had to go ahead on the seafront last night after three venues cancelled on him.  Currently suspended from Labour, Chris is still wandering around the country spreading the Corbyn gospel.  Following years of 'no platforming', hounding political opponents and forcing venues to cancel events, the loony left finally got a taste of their own medicine.

The Brighthelm Community Centre was the first to cancel Williamson's booking following the intervention of local Labour MP Peter Kyle (so much for solidarity).  Organisers then moved the event to the Holiday Inn, but after being bombarded by complaints that venue also cancelled.  Williamson's third and final throw of the dice was to approach the Quakers and book their Meeting House, but that didn't last long leaving Chris up shit creek without a paddle.

However, nothing was going to stand in the way of our intrepid revolutionary and the event went ahead... in a park!  Williamson claimed afterwards that 150 people attended, although the photos tell a different story.  Although the rally was titled "A Democratic, Socialist Economy", this didn't stop one young attendee wearing a USSR t-shirt, complete with hammer and sickle, and being placed at the front of the 'big' (heavily-cropped) group photo.  Then again it was Lenin himself who said that the goal of socialism is communism.

Despite the speaker's attempt to show that Williamson is 'Jew-friendly', a raffle was due to be held in which the top prize was a cartoon depicting Tom Watson as an anti-Semitism witchfinder.  The cartoon was signed by its artist, Brighton-based Steve Bell, whose work has been published in the Guardian for many years.  However, the newspaper refused to publish this particular cartoon (pictured below), leading to it's star slot at Williamson's rally.

Top prize at Williamson's rally was a signed copy of this cartoon

A small group of protesters gathered outside the town hall, one of whom told the local rag:  "If it had just been Chris who was to come down, it would have been offensive.  But the fact it’s Chris and the auctioning of the cartoon, it feels like an exercise in Jew baiting".  Williamson claims that he is being lined up for expulsion by Labour and is currently taking legal action.  Stunts like this won't exactly work in his favour, regardless of how many Jewish communists spring to his defence.

LABOUR'S LGBT-MUSLIM HEADACHE

We've blogged about this forthcoming quandary and 'clash of civilisations' countless times, so it is rather entertaining to watch Labour tear itself apart as it tries desperately to equate its position as both a party for Islamists and the party of equality and LGBT.  When the Birmingham school protests began the Labour party predictably ran a mile and ignored it at all costs.  When the protests spread it became harder for them to brush it under the carpet and two Birmingham MPs came face to face with the protesters, each falling on different sides of the fence.

Loudmouth fake feminist Jess Phillips (Birmingham Yardley) got herself into a pickle as she tried to comprehend the clash happening before her eyes.  Bless.  Roger Godsiff (Birmingham Hall Green) had less difficulty finding a way through the mire and came out for the Muslims.  This did not fare well with the progressive left, exemplified by teary Angela Eagle in the Commons yesterday (see video below).

Watch out for the very rude (but predictable) Jess Phillips intervention - she just can't help herself - plus Eagle turning directly towards Godsiff and mocking his views on the issue, much to the amusement of the LGBT mob surrounding her - Peter Kyle, Stephen Doughty, Lloyd Russell-Wotsit and Chris Underpants Bryant.  Ironically this was almost like playground bullying, except the victim was an old man.  Quite extraordinary, and we thought Labour were split on Brexit!

The problem with Eagle's position is that while she is talking about discrimination against the LGBT community in schools, the issue at hand concerns five-year-olds.  Five-year-olds are neither gay or straight, they are small children with no interest in sexual relationships.

CLEESE SENDS TROLLS INTO FRENZY

John Cleese has kept leftie Twitter trolls in business today with the above tweet.  5,000 comments and counting, many of them screaming "wacist" and the like.  If John Cleese is such a racist, why does he now live on a Caribbean island surrounded by black people?  Just saying.

PS. Note that he is followed by remoaner Tom Watson, as you can see bottom left of the frame.  In fact John Cleese has a lot of hard Remain followers including Clive Lewis, Stella Creasy, Peter Kyle, Anna McMorrin and Change UK's Angela Smith.  Bet they loved this tweet, not.

FIVE QUIT LABOUR'S FRONT BENCH

Corbyn has tonight lost five members of his front bench over the second referendum amendment.  Ironically the amendment was proposed by Sarah Wollaston of the Independent Group, so one way or another Chuka is still giving his former party a few digs.

The five resignations were all triggered by Labour's cowardly policy of abstention, itself a u-turn on a u-turn.  Having recently come out in support of a second referendum, when it came to it they bottled it.  Or did they?  There are reports tonight that Corbyn and Starmer have held discussions with two backbenchers - Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson - about a deal they have proposed in which Labour would back May's deal in exchange for a second referendum.

The resigning frontbenchers who rebelled against the abstention decision are as follows.

Yvonne Fovargue (Makerfield - 65% Leave)
Emma Lewell-Buck (South Shields - 62% Leave)
Justin Madders (Ellesemere Port & Neston - 58% Leave)
Stephanie Peacock (Barnsley East - 71% Leave)
Ruth Smeeth (Stoke-on-Trent North - 72% Leave)

All five voted to oppose a second referendum.  However, they are not Brexiteers and they have consistently voted to frustrate Brexit in all the other votes this week.  Looking at the Leave votes in their constituencies there are no prizes for guessing why they decided a second referendum was a step too far...

I've resigned from Labour's front bench this evening in order to vote against a second referendum. This was a difficult decision but I have a duty to support the will of my constituents. We need to leave, and leave with a deal that works for the Potteries https://t.co/yOtP1jWsmS
