UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Threatens ‘COVID-Style Lockdowns’ To Stop Protests

Keir Starmer vows covid-style lockdowns to squash nationwide protests.

By Sean Adl-Tabatabai

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has vowed to impose ‘COVID-style lockdowns’ to stomp out anti-immigrant protests erupting across the country.

Facing a full-blown crisis less than a few weeks into office, recently installed WEF Young Global Leader Starmer gathered top cabinet ministers on Saturday as civil unrest erupted in dozens of towns and cities throughout the UK in response to the murder of three young girls and the stabbing of eight others, including children, by a 17-year-old Rwandan-heritage second-generation immigrant on Monday.

Breitbart.com reports: The Guardianciting the far-left Hope Not Hate organisation, reported that an estimated 35 locations had been scheduled to see protests on Saturday, some of which saw violent clashes between participants and the police, as well as attacks on businesses, particularly in Belfast, Hull, Liverpool, and Manchester. According to The Telegraph, at least 90 arrests were made throughout the country on Sunday.

A Downing Street spokesman told the paper: “The prime minister set out that the police have our full support to take action against extremists on our streets who are attacking police officers, disrupting local businesses and attempting to sow hate by intimidating communities.

“The prime minister ended by saying the right to freedom of expression and the violent disorder we have seen are two very different things. He said there is no excuse for violence of any kind and reiterated that the government backs the police to take all necessary action to keep our streets safe.”

The hardline rhetoric from the PM, who has characterised the protests and riots as “far-right,”  on the outpouring of rage and violence has been contrasted to his response during the deadly and deeply destructive Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, when he infamously took the knee in solidarity with the Marxist movement and described those involved as “people rightly demanding justice”.

The government has also faced criticism for refusing to discuss footage posted on social media appearing to show violent responses from large groups of Muslim or leftist counter protesters.

The prime minister’s response to his first crisis of his expected five-year term has been heavily criticised by the Reform UK party of Nigel Farage, who accused Starmer of failing to address the root cause of the anger, which is mass migration.

On Friday, Farage’s deputy, Boston and Skegness MP Richard Tice, said: “Many millions of concerned British citizens are furious at lawless Britain. Children being slaughtered. Machete mobs abound. Soldiers being stabbed. Police violently attacked in airport.

“Instead of empathy, Keir Starmer labelled folk as “far-right”. Out of touch, clueless.”

However, others have demanded that the government go farther, including Tory leadership candidate and former Home Secretary Priti Patel, who has called on Starmer to recall Parliament to hold an emergency session on the unrest.

One of the more extreme takes on the crisis came from former Labour MP and current government advisor on political violence, Baron Walney, John Woodcock, who argued that the government should consider a coronavirus-style lockdown to stamp out the uprising if it continues to persist.

“I think the government and new ministers will understand the British public will back them in whatever measures they feel is necessary to get this situation under control,” Lord Walney told the Times Radio.

“Back in Covid, they were prepared to back measures that were needed in that situation and I think they would take a similar approach to keeping rioters off the streets now given the scale of damage that has been done to communities.”

    • What really bothers me, Sasjal, is the labeling of anyone who expresses concern about immigration as a right wing extremist. Also in my experience, when peaceful protests turn violent, it’s my experience they have been infiltrated by agents provocateurs trying to trigger a government crackdown.

      • Agree. This is something that’s typical CIA behaviour. I suspect they tought MI5 and MI6 one thing or two …

        By experience, those who are whining about “far right” etc., usually are far left. In other words far worse … “Sozialists” etc.

  1. Those people are furious, not sick! And I seriously don’t think that at this point, they are willing to go into lockdown. Many of them are in an uproar because they are poverty stricken and homeless, and they feel that their government is doing nothing to mitigate the situation. Illegal immigration can be stopped if the will is there, those people obviously get that.

    Unfortunately, unmitigated poverty of the masses is fueling immigration, worldwide, and since damn near every country on the planet is experiencing economic depression, expect more riots, not less despite crackdowns and attempts at lockdowns. Hungry people aren’t going to comply! But the powers that be, will realize this soon enough. They’ll have no choice.

  2. I don’t know enough about current British politics to form an opinion, but I do know that Starmer probably feels threatened by all the protests and violence. Mass migration and immigration is happening the world over, for the reasons mentioned above. Violence comes with the territory, when relative newcomers displace or squeeze those who have established squatting rights on existing social structures. Starmer’s visible, high-profele, public office of UK’s Prime Minister makes him a target for everyone with axes to grind, and his position now is precarious. I don’t envy him.

    • It isn’t just illegal immigration in Western Europe and Britain that is to blame for violent outbursts. It is also so-called legal immigration which is replacing the indigenous people of European countries. Western Europe and Britain are lost. Only parts of Eastern Europe and Russia seem to have the common sense to look after their citizens properly. People of European heritage are an endangered species.
