New in PJ Media:
Keir Starmer identifies as prime minister of Britain, and no one is challenging his self-identification, so it could well be more or less accurate. Nevertheless, it is clear that whatever else he may be, Starmer is a typical early twenty-first-century leftist. For such people, if that is indeed what they identify as being, truth is an entirely subjective matter, based more upon how someone is feeling and what he or she or xe desires rather than upon objective reality. And so Starmer has just announced that a woman is indeed an adult female, but not because every human being since there have been human beings has known this, but because a British court has just said so.
It’s quintessential leftism. Remember the famous scene in Orwell’s “1984” when the torturer O’Brien forces the incipient independent thinker, Winston Smith, to affirm that two plus two equals five? The idea was to impress upon Winston the principle that reality was not what one sees with one’s own eyes, but what the rulers say it is. It’s the apex of totalitarian control, and it’s today’s shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain.
Sky News reported Tuesday that Starmer was “asked if he believed a transwoman should be considered a woman,” and Starmer gave the perfect response of a man who is convinced that two plus two equals five if his socialist masters say it is: “A woman is an adult female, and the court has made that absolutely clear.”
What Starmer, and every sentient human being who has ever been asked this question, should have said is that men are men and women are women, and everyone knows what the differences between them are, and no one needs a court to say so. He could even have added that men can’t become women, and women can’t become men, and no amount of surgery and cosmetics will change that fact.
Instead, Starmer made it clear that if the court had said that a woman was a table or a head of lettuce or an alarm clock, he would have accepted it just as readily as he is now prepared to accept that a woman is an adult human female. His own perceptions don’t matter in the slightest degree; all that matters is what the relevant authority has declared.
If Britain were remotely a sane society today, this would cost Starmer the prime minister’s office, but he is in no electoral danger. His answer likely didn’t differ in any substantial way from the answer that the leaders of the other parties would have given. What is needed to restore sane rule to Britain and so many Western European states is not a new prime minister or president or chancellor or whatever, but a wholesale repudiation of the entire political class, which has uncritically embraced the left’s guiding fantasies and delusions.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Stalin Starmer can not think for himself, he has to follow orders, even if he know they are wrong, & he is the Prime Minister of the U.K. !!! Just following orders, where have I heard that before ?

This reminds me of a joke I once read decades ago:
Jack: How did Queen Elizabeth know that she’s pregnant?
Sue: It’s there in the newspapers, stupid!
😂🤣

Not only Britain, but also Canada and many European countries.

It is indeed strange that history records a strong factor in the demise of empires and nations is the public and private corruption of decency, yet, here we are, where it appears that half the population can no longer define decency. Is it possible to live a day without hearing an F-bomb?
When the West survived WW2, also in the time of the US founding, people who believed in a higher purpose than themselves, helped each other raise productive, decent, families and were not ridiculed. The nation posessed behavioral standards and when a neighbor corrected a child’s poor behavior it was expected.
In the past, when observing youth pierced with metal, covered in tattoos, multi-colour hair, using foul language, appearing almost as the cast of, “Escape From New York”, it came to mind that they had lost their way in life, but now it seems more like they are making a statement that they reject organized society, particularly any constraints based on behavior.
Then, of much greater risk to society is a segment of our, “college educated”, who believe themselves to be of higher value than the rest, basking in sheepskin shade, some believing in self-worship, while the, “uneducated”, labor in the sun. But, again, their language and attitude reveals their contempt for rules of decency. How does a nation survive when its leaders are strangers to decency? Who raised children who destroy property and threaten Jews for something happening in another nation, 7200 miles away?
______ Sir Starmer _______
How long before Britain is lost because its leadership doesn’t know what decency is? No, it’s not the King’s English(keeping up appearances), rather, caring for its citizens and actually maintaining standards are the first priorities. Being able to define a woman is a subset.
Allowing the nation to be invaded by a foreign culture which has aspirations to conquer is malfeasance on the grandest of scales and unrefutable evidence that the elite of Europe don’t care what happens to their citizens.
The rhyming with the historical fall of Rome seems to be music to “progressive” liberal ears. A phrase once used to defend liberals from communist witch hunts now applies to them – “Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?”

I “identify” Keir Starner as a globalist leftist traitor & a piece of garbage.
Michael Warden says
Perhaps it is time, once again, for Robert and Pamela Geller to try to visit Britain. Does anyone think they will be refused entry again? “Not conducive to the public good”. (Theresa May).
David M says
Ha, how about Robert & Pamela get on one of those dingy little boats from France with the other 200 illegal immigrants, They would be welcomed with open arms by the Labor government until they found out who they were, then they would be deported. Still, they could have done 2 weeks worth of talking engagements by then.

In Deutschland ist es auch nicht besser. Eine kleine radikale und hirnbefreite Hochstaplerclique bestimmt den politischen Diskurs. Befeuert von gleichgeschalteten Medien und von abgepressten Steuergeldern der Bürger finanzierte links exkremistische “NGOs” , wird der Staat immer übergriffiger und unverschämter.
Der Staatsterror gegen die Bürger gipfelt in unsinnigen Gesetzen und Vorschriften wie beispielsweise Gendersprache, hunderte Geschlechter, jedes Jahr Wechsel des Geschlechts, massenhafte illegale Einwanderung, Majestätsbeleidigungsparagraph, Steuer auf Atemluft und noch vieles mehr.
Es ist eine organisierte kriminelle Vereinigung, die ihre Macht missbraucht um sich persönlich zu bereichern und um ihre Lobby zu bedienen..

Try Keir’s word salad today. Easy to prepare and really cheap. Isn’t this delicious?:
“I actually welcome the judgment because I think it gives real clarity. It allows those that have got to draw up guidance to be really clear about what that guidance should say. So I think it’s important that we see the judgment for what it is. It’s a welcome step forward.
It’s real clarity in an area where we did need clarity…”
(These are the actual words of a man who has a wife who is female. She is defined by law to be a woman and a Prime Minister’s wife is not above the law.)
James Lincoln says
Some biological males who “transition” into “pretend females” can be very outwardly convincing.
But they are still males…
David M says
I know, if you were drunk in Thailand & thought you had met a hot female, but he turned out to be a ladyboy you would find that out.
