London Goes from 97% White Citizens to 37% as City Degenerates into Chaos– lidblog.com

Excerpt:

 

The city of London, England, was once 97 percent white. It is now 37 percent white as the town continues to devolve into chaos and degradation.

As the Gateway Pundit reported, Harrison Pitt, a prominent writer and thinker in Britain’s national conservative sphere, and Peter Whittle, founder of New Culture Forum, sat down recently for a discussion about the disintegration of the United Kingdom.

During the far-reaching discussion, Whittle noted that “London has stopped being my city.”

As Gateway notes:

[Whittle ] also discusses the failure of political leaders to address these issues and the need for more radical reform.

Whittle argues that London—a city that he says is now increasingly transactional and disconnected from its historical roots—has lost its cultural soul due to the demographic shift.

He observes that many of today’s London residents lack the collective memories and shared experiences that once shaped the city’s identity and served as a unifying cultural and social fabric.

Thousands of British citizens have been arrested in recent years, and many jailed, for offensive or anxiety-causing social media posts — most notably after the Taylor Swift dance class terror slayings in Southport in 2024.

Thousands of UK residents took to social media, and the streets, in protest. Many were punished by authorities.

Excerpt:

A former British Conservative minister and current MP renewed his push in Parliament last week for legislation that bans first-cousin marriage, prompting opposition from the ruling Labour party, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and a British-Muslim MP.

The Conservative MP Richard Holden said during a parliamentary debate, “A marriage between first cousins carries significant health issues, many of which aren’t even knowable until post-birth.” He added, “When practiced generation after generation, there is a significant multiplier effect.”

Adverse health effects on the children of first cousin marriages have been established in medical research. Holden added that “the real impacts on the openness of our society and women’s rights in our country are significant. After all, there are significant dynamics in sharing the same set of grandparents.”

Holden urged Starmer to “think again” about blocking his legislation from moving forward. Starmer responded to Holden, stating “We’ve taken our position on that Bill, thank you.”

Tech titan Elon Musk has suggested crippling sanctions on Ukraine’s oligarchs is the key to halting the nation’s bloody conflict with Russia

Musk, 53, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, called for sanctions targeting Ukraine’s wealthiest elite in a post on X Sunday morning.

The stunning intervention was a radical departure from the current strategy focused on punishing Russia for its unprovoked invasion of the country.

‘Place sanctions on the top 10 Ukrainian oligarchs, especially the ones with mansions in Monaco, and this will stop immediately. That is the key to the puzzle,’ Musk wrote bluntly.

The remark comes at the end of a week of intensive debate in Washington over whether continued US financial and military aid to Kyiv is sustainable as the war drags on with no clear end in sight.

Republican Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) recently argued that the US shouldn’t offer ‘another penny’ to Ukraine – a view echoed by growing segments of the American public weary of the seemingly endless bloodshed and multibillion-dollar aid packages.

“All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing as they must if they believe they can do nothing. There is nothing worse because the council of despair is declaration of irresponsibility; it is Pilate washing his hands.” – Edmund Burke

INTRODUCTION

Keir Starmer, the current openly Marxist, Britain-hating Prime Minister of the UK, is proving to be an existential threat to the children of Britain and to the fate of the country itself. His participation in the enabling of child rape gangs, gangs of Islamists using rape and murder as a form of political manipulation, is clear and, at this point, beyond dispute.

His continued hatred for the British people and their way of life can be seen in how he jumps to protect Islamists from bad opinions while he continues to slander and defame the British people.

In past reports, we have exposed this man’s Marxist roots and his anti-British agenda to turn Britain into a cesspit of Islamist Marxism devoid of the white devil he imagines his own people are (despite the fact that he, too, is a white British man, but not in spirit).

The Free Press has an excellent summary of the albatross continuing to drag this man’s dystopian fantasy down:

The scandal is already reshaping British politics. It’s not just about the heinous nature of the crimes. It’s that every level of the British system is implicated in the cover-up.

Social workers were intimidated into silence. Local police ignored, excused, and even abetted pedophile rapists across dozens of cities. Senior police and Home Office officials deliberately avoided action in the name of maintaining what they called “community relations.” Local councilors and Members of Parliament rejected pleas for help from the parents of raped children. Charities, NGOs, and Labour MPs accused those who discussed the scandal of racism and Islamophobia. The media mostly ignored or downplayed the biggest story of their lifetimes. Zealous in their incuriosity, much of Britain’s media elite remained barnacled to the bubble of Westminster politics and its self-serving priorities.

They did this to defend a failed model of multiculturalism, and to avoid asking hard questions about failures of immigration policy and assimilation. They did this because they were afraid of being called racist or Islamophobic. They did this because Britain’s traditional class snobbery had fused with the new snobbery of political correctness….

What we do know is that the epicenter was the postindustrial mill towns of England’s north and Midlands, where immigrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh settled in the 1960s. White locals say the grooming and rapes began soon after…

The details are established beyond doubt in the small number of prosecutions that eventually made it to court. The suffering described in the court papers is sickening to read: The girls were drugged, beaten, sodomized, gang-raped, trafficked, and tortured.

A. BIGGER THAN STARMER

Keir Starmer is the current front-face of the grooming assault on Britain in the name of Marxism, or globalism, or whatever you want to call it. The problems existed before him and are present in both the Conservative AND Labour Parties, but he is the perpetuator of this violent assault.

From UnHerd:

The statistics behind the rape gang scandal – let’s banish the wholly inadequate word “grooming” – are staggering. For over 25 years, networks of men, predominantly from Pakistani Muslim backgrounds, abused young white girls from Yeovil to London to Glasgow. The victims’ accounts are beyond depravity, unthinkable in a supposedly advanced Western democracy.

That, of course, immediately raises a simple, shocking question: why did British police services turn a blind eye to the gang rape of tens of thousands of young girls?…

The answer, in the end, is simple. Racism, for police services from Chester to Penzance, remains the original sin. From the Scarman Report to the Macpherson Inquiry, the police have long served as Britain’s sin-eaters, devouring social problems on our behalf. As former Met Commissioner Sir Robert Mark famously wrote: “The police are the anvil on which society beats out the problems and abrasions of social inequality, racial prejudice, weak laws and ineffective legislation.”

Compared to the intentional assault on the British people by its own racist, anti-liberty government (under Conservatives OR Labour), the Normans of 1066 were tolerant, peace-loving, freedom-respecting invaders.

B. THE GROOMING

  1. 2008-2009 ROCHDALE INVESTIGATION – While Keir Starmer served in leadership in the Crown Prosecution Services (CPS), his team decided that a young victim of grooming gangs was “unreliable,” so the case was dismissed, which led to a delay in their prosecution for 3 years before a prosecutor appointed by Starmer, Nazir Afzal, finally charged and prosecuted them. This led to the conviction of 9 men.

What happened during those three years before these men were finally prosecuted? One can only believe that they continued to do what they were doing before they got caught, grooming and raping white English children as a form of jihad against the country that paid their way there and continues to pay to sustain them.

  1. ROCHDALE GROOMING REIGN – A report from 2014 on the Rochdale grooming gangs shows their sexual assaults on children were at their highest between 1997 and 2013, falling in line with Starmer’s tenure there. It’s almost as if they KNEW they would get a free ride from the anti-English Starmer (who most likely viewed the raping of English children as justice for the raping of the third world by the British Empire).
  2. STARMER’S NONCE-ENABLING INSTITUTIONALIZATION – Starmer’s opponents believe he created an institutional spirit in CPS that stigmatized any notion of going after Muslim immigrants even if they KNEW (which this writer believes they DID KNOW) the grooming gangs were assaulting children. After all, these children were the children of the white devil who raped the world.

Professor Alexis Jay’s 2022 report on grooming gangs states that the only serious prosecutions of grooming gangs under Starmer were a result of a massive public pushback. Wherever cases were not publicly covered, Starmer’s child-rape-enabling prosecutors continued to sit on their hands.

Starmer’s creation of a pedo-enabling culture and his refusal to change led to the rape of hundreds more children, children Starmer probably views not as victims but as criminals being rightly punished.

C. THE SPIRIT OF GROOMING IN STARMER’S WORLDVIEW

  1. GROOMING FOR MARXISM IN THEORY – The Marxist left comes from a place where, inherently, they are predisposed to dispose of children and subject them to sexual assault. This spirit emerges from their claim that “systemic racism” is the existential threat to humanity that must be eradicated, by any means necessary, if humanity is to hope to survive. That systemic racism was created by the white devil, who also created heteronormativity, the sexual binary, parents, mother, father, and even the age of consent (ED.NOTE: In America, this list includes the Constitution, ESPECIALLY the Bill of Rights).

In order to rid the world of the white devil’s institutions, it’s not enough to change the laws, the old institutions must die. Children, for instance, must be encouraged to question their sexuality and gender, to BREAK the heteronormative frame and the gender binary construct. This is essential to their worldview, which is that the white devil led humanity astray, led humanity away from its real good, and the only way to return to the real good is to eliminate every institution the white devil created.

The Marxist left doesn’t merely encourage sexual grooming, they practically demand it. Their claim is that children who fit outside the sexual and gender norm will kill themselves unless government agents FORCE CHILDREN to question their sexuality and gender, and the white devil will win, because he uses heteronormativity and the sexual binary to oppress minorities.

In this cultural reality, sacrificing the children of the white devils on the altar of sexual assault is hardly offensive to an ideology that DEMANDS child sex grooming, never mind the fact that the key “founders” of the current iteration of Marxism were open advocates of pedophilia (which we covered in an earlier MIA report).

Destroying the majority for the good of the minority is the far nobler goal. Sure, there may be suffering here or there, and SOME children might be innocent, but overall, society as a whole will only grow closer to human perfection if we destroy the constructs the white devil created and replace them with our own (never mind what they are, to question them is to affirm you’re part of the oppressive majority, the white devil).

  1. THE UK FACE OF GROOMING FOR MARXISM – Keir Starmer is the poster child for that spirit. Under his watch as a lead prosecutor, Keir Starmer would enable child rape gangs across the UK to victimize more than 10,000 innocent children. His failure, willing or not, to “join the dots” across regions and across multiple victim testimonies protected child rapists and knowingly, willingly put children in danger “for the good of the whole (to end racism, which is to end the white devil, which is to end Britian itself as a construct).”

Starmer is as guilty of the child rapes and murders as the Islamist grooming gangs his office protected (and his current administration is still importing and subsidizing), whenever and wherever it could. The fact that CPS destroyed many records from his reign shows the actions of a guilty man and a guilty department.

Starmer’s defense would be that under his watch, between 2010 and 2011, there was a rise in child sex abuse cases prosecuted, but that was the result of reluctant prosecutions of cases that went public. The proof that this is true is in the fact that the number rose significantly once Starmer left. For instance, in 2016-17, the same CPS office prosecuted nearly twice as many cases as were prosecuted under Starmer’s peak prosecution year.

In other words, the insertion of child rape culture into Britain through state-sponsored “immigration” created a massive spike in child sex assault cases that Starmer’s office couldn’t completely ignore (though they would have if the public hadn’t forced their hand).

D. STARMER’S DEFENSE: KILL FREE SPEECH

Keir Starmer reveals his guilt by his best defense, a defense that seeks to lay the groundwork to criminalize any effort to call Islamists what they are: pedophile murderer-rapists running rampant across the UK on the taxpayer dime.

Elon Musk and others that claimed that Starmer knew about the rape gangs and protected them for two reasons: to curry votes with the England-hating subsidized Muslim community and to punish the English for having a world empire that, according to these deranged lunatics, did nothing but rape the lands, as well as the noble people of those lands.

In answering these accusations, Starmer said, “Those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and wide as possible are not interested in victims, they’re interested in themselves. They are cheerleading Tommy Robinson, a man who went to prison for nearly collapsing a grooming case, a gang grooming case. These people are trying to get some kind of vicarious thrill from street violence, that people like Tommy Robinson promote.”

“Those attacking Jess Phillips, who I’m proud to call a colleague and a friend, are not protecting victims. Jess Phillips has done a thousand times more than they’ve even dreamt about when it comes to protecting victims of sexual abuse throughout her entire career. When the poison of the far right leads to serious threats to Jess Phillips and others, that, in my book, means a line has been crossed. I enjoy the cut and thrust of politics. The robust debate that we must have. But that’s got to be based on facts and truth. Not on lies.”

“Those who are so desperate for attention that they’re prepared to debase themselves and their country. So this government will get on with the job of protecting victims, including victims of sexual abuse. What I won’t tolerate is a debate based on lies and politicians jumping on the bandwagon simply to get attention. When those politicians were in government for 14 long years.”

When the British rioted in response to their own government protecting Muslim child rapists and arresting British citizens for calling the Islamists out for who they are, psychotic terrorist insurrectionists seeking to destroy Britian, Starmer called the British people “racist thugs.”

He chortled that he would “never accept the argument…that millions of people concerned about immigration are one and the same thing as people who smashed up businesses, targeted mosques, attempted to burn refugees, scrawled racist graffiti over walls, Nazi salutes at the Cenotaph, attacked NHS nurses and told people with different coloured skin, people who contribute here, people who grew up here, that they should ‘go home.’”

Never mind that the Nazi salute accusation was an intentional lie intended to stir up more violence against the British people by fellow leftist Brits and the Islamist psychopaths the left uses in its fight against human liberty.

He concluded in his racist, terrorist speech, “I will never let a minority of violent, racist thugs terrorise our communities.” He said that sentence despite the fact that he continues to allow that very thing, only it’s not the British citizen that is guilty of this charge, it’s his Islamist allies, the brown shirt thugs of the left, who are guilty, along with him (because he aids and abets them).

  1. BLASPHEMY LAWS NEXT? – Even as the rape gangs continue to rape children in the UK, Keir Starmer is spending his efforts trying to “protect” the Islamist psychopaths from public scrutiny, coming out recently in favor of the possibility of blasphemy laws that would be defined by Islamists.

In November, during a PM question time, Starmer said, “November marks Islamophobia Awareness Month – last year, the UN Human Rights Council adopted a resolution condemning the desecration of religious texts, including the Koran. Despite opposition from the previous Government, acts of such mindless desecration only serve to fuel division and hatred within our society.”

The follow-up question to him was, “Will the Prime Minister commit to introducing measures to prohibit the desecration of all religious texts and the prophets of the Abrahamic religions?”

He answered by refusing to rule out blasphemy laws, then added, “Desecration is awful, and I think it should be condemned across the House. We are committed to tackling all forms of hatred and division, including Islamophobia in all its forms.”

  1. ARRESTING THE PROTESTORS, NOT THE GROOMERS – Starmer’s record on arresting political prisoners is a further stunning admission of his guilt. The side that insists it must be protected by state guns from dissent is ALWAYS the evil one. Some of the people who have been arrested were children, including an 11-year-old.

BBC, a British-hating, and U.S. taxpayer funded, Labour-Party-run, far left agit prop information terror machine, covered the chilling arrests in as positive a light as possible:

In the first case of a person going to jail for posting on social media during the disorder, Jordan Parlour, 28, of Seacroft, Leeds, received a 20-month sentence for inciting others to target a Leeds building which housed asylum seekers.

At least two others also received jail sentences for social media posts that stirred up racial hatred.

Suspended Labour councillor Ricky Jones appeared in court charged with encouraging violent disorder after he was filmed apparently telling a crowd that far-right demonstrators should have their throats cut.

6000 officers with specialist training in public order are “prepared and ready” to deal with any potential unrest over the weekend.

About 600 people have been arrested this week, with hundreds more expected in the coming days and weeks, police say, with the use of facial recognition technology fast tracking the process…

This was in response to the riots in August that happened after the government tried to protect the Islamist murderers of British children.

It should be noted that the so-called “Conservative” party arrested over 3,000 people JUST for posting online (under Theresa May), so the anti-British, pro-Islamist actions of Starmer and Labour are not exclusive to them. This might explain why Reform currently leads Labour as the Conservative Party continues to fade into oblivion (since they’ve devolved into being an extension of Labour).

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

The current breakdown of Britain’s parliament shows that Labour currently holds 404 out of 649 seats, meaning the chances of a no-confidence vote against Starmer to trigger an early snap election are slim to none. Labour won 34 percent of the vote to the Conservatives’ 24 percent and Reform’s 14 percent, meaning they won an almost insurmountable majority with only 1/3 of voting British citizens choosing them.

There is no minimum time for a PM to serve before the next general election. A general election is called by the Prime Minister or a No-Confidence vote. His recent actions suggest that he might not offer another election again, if his party has his way.

Seeing how badly they were doing in the polls, apparently it is legal for Labour to cancel local elections until 2026, possibly 2027, which they did ostensibly to protect local voters (or so they claimed).

The British people, what’s left of them, are facing at least four more years of complete tyranny as the Labour Party continues its efforts, with the help of the Conservative Party, to fully dismantle a liberty-bounded government and replace it with a Marxist one. Elections are not a recourse. Protests will now get you thrown in jail.

This “experiment” will end either with Britian being converted to a leftist third world hellhole or an event will occur, maybe a major terror assault the government tries to conceal, that will trigger a wholesale collapse of the government through nationwide non-compliance followed by a mass assault of 10 Downing Street in the style of the 1381 Peasant’s Revolt (only the boy king Starmer won’t be able to invoke God to save him like Richard II did).

The course for Britain is death or violent overthrow because all the non-violent bullets have been removed, in part by the Conservative Party, in full by the Labour Party.

In short, outside of a dramatic act of resistance by the liberty-minded British (what’s left of them), the UK will be successfully groomed into Marxism.

As a parting shot, let me point out that this report would land me in jail if I were subject to Starmer’s tyrannical rule.

President Donald Trump announced a 30-day pause on newly enacted tariffs on Canada and Mexico but was met with mixed signals from Canada. On one hand, Canada appeared ready to move more aggressively on cutting down fentanyl traffic across the border, but on the other, Canada has not ended all its recently enacted tariffs, only the ones in response to Trump’s latest round of tariffs.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford offered the most bellicose response, announcing plans to increase their electricity fee by 25 percent for Americans in Minnesota, New York, and Michigan. Ford said of Trump’s announced tariff pause, “The only thing that’s certain today is more uncertainty. A pause on some tariffs means nothing. Until President Trump removes the threat of tariffs for good, we will be relentless.”

President Donald Trump on Monday agreed to a 30-day pause on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada as America’s two largest trading partners took steps to appease his concerns about border security and drug trafficking.

The pauses provide a cool-down period after a tumultuous few days that put North America on the cusp of a trade war that risked crushing economic growth, causing prices to soar and ending two of the United States’ most critical partnerships.

“I am very pleased with this initial outcome, and the Tariffs announced on Saturday will be paused for a 30 day period to see whether or not a final Economic deal with Canada can be structured,” Trump posted on social media. “FAIRNESS FOR ALL!”

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted Monday afternoon on X that the pause would occur “while we work together,” saying that his government would name a fentanyl czar, list Mexican cartels as terrorist groups and launch a “Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering.”

UK Judge Norton-Taylor has just ruled that a Palestinian family can resettle in England because  of their “rights to a family life” under the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 8. He claimed the rights of the individual family outweighed the “public interest” of the rules on entry to the UK.

PM Kier Starmer’s administration has protested the ruling and vowed to appeal it. If the ruling holds, the UK will be open to a floodgate of requests forms from any Palestinian with any relative who is a British citizen to apply. The family applied through what is called a “Ukraine Family Scheme,” which allows Ukrainian nationals to resettle in the UK if they have a British citizen relative.

The ruling also sets a precedent that usurps parliamentary authority to declare which countries get resettlement status. The Home Office claims no resettlement schemes for Gazans is planned.

Palestinian migrants have been granted the right to live in the UK after applying through a scheme meant for Ukrainian refugees.

A family of six seeking to flee Gaza have been allowed to join their brother in Britain after an immigration judge ruled that the Home Office’s rejection of their application breached their human rights.

The family had made their application through the Ukraine Family Scheme and the decision to accept their case came despite warnings by lawyers for the Home Office that it could open the floodgates to “the admission of all those in conflict zones with family in the UK”.

Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said the case showed changes to human rights laws were needed so that Parliament, not judges, controlled who could settle in the UK.

UK COURTS OPEN FLOODGATES FOR GAZAN REFUGEES: A LEGAL DISASTER IN THE MAKING@JohannPbooks

Source Link

Excerpt:

The ruling showcases everything that is wrong with the UK’s judicial system—unaccountable judges playing policymakers, overriding government decisions, and rewriting immigration laws from the bench.

Instead of respecting Parliament’s authority over immigration matters, the courts have effectively legislated from the bench, weaponizing vague interpretations of international law to erode UK sovereignty.

The justification leans heavily on human rights law, an all-too-familiar legal trick that overrides national interest in favor of an open-door policy. By invoking the UN Refugee Convention, the European Convention on Human Rights, and nebulous “principles of non-refoulement,” the judges created a loophole so large that any crisis in the world could suddenly become the UK’s responsibility.

This isn’t justice; it’s ideological activism disguised as legal reasoning. By conflating the specific policies crafted for Ukrainian refugees with a completely different conflict, the courts have effectively invited a flood of applications from any war-torn region willing to exploit this ruling.

Hundreds of police officers were deployed in response to the protest, organised under the name “Stop the Isolation” or “Unite the Kingdom” in support of Robinson, as well as a separate counter-demonstration.

Chants of “We want our country back” and “We want Tommy out” were sung as the demonstration set off from outside Waterloo station before marching towards Westminster and assembling at the Parliament Square end of Whitehall.

The counter-protest organised by Stand Up To Racism also marched to Whitehall to stand “together against racism, Islamophobia and antisemitism and to say that we won’t let the far right divide us”.

Excerpt:

The Conservative party has reacted angrily to the latest reports about the proposed deal to transfer sovereignty over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. (See 2.49pm.)

Priti Patel, the shadow foreign secretary, has issued a statement claiming that Keir Starmer is motivated by “leftie shame” at Britain’s history. She said:

It seems Keir Starmer has learnt absolutely nothing – and is still putting his leftie shame of our country’s history over our national security, and our longstanding relationship with our closest ally.

He has the audacity to tell the British people they will foot the bill and pay for the indignity of his surrender of the Chagos Islands, as he isolates the new US administration by bending the knee to Mauritius and emboldening our enemies with his disastrous surrender deal.

Starmer and David Lammy must urgently explain their epic failure of diplomacy which is putting out special relationship at risk while they play pathetic gesture politics.

In fact, negotiations with Mauritius over the transfer of sovereignty started when the Conservative goverment was in office. The current government, like the last one, says a deal is needed because the UK kept losing cases in international courts over the sovereignty issue.

The UK’s Kier Starmer stated his cabinet’s policies regarding Brexit include a “reset” but not a “return” to the EU. The comments came during German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ visit to the UK. He called for there to be “closer ties” between the UK and the EU.

Starmer said “I have been very clear (…) that I do want a reset of the relationship between the UK and the EU. That does not involve a return to the European Union. We had a referendum here on that, and that matter is settled… I think that is certainly in the UK’s best interest, I do believe it’s in the EU’s best interest, and already I hope that in the last seven months there has been a manifest difference in approach, tone and relationship,”
