Due Process

Keir Starmer has never sued anyone for saying, as numerous people have said outside parliamentary privilege, that he had been responsible for the failure to prosecute Jimmy Savile. We all know why not. If Starmer did not sue anyone for saying, as numerous people are saying outside parliamentary privilege, that he lied to Parliament over the appointment of Peter Mandelson, then we would all know why not. All this, and the trial of Roman Lavrynovych, Petro Pochynok and Stanislav Carpiuc is scheduled to start at the Old Bailey on 27 April.

Remaining with Ukraine, just as the Wagner Group would have had no interest in paying two-bit South London drug dealers to set fire to an East London warehouse if our Government had not been sending the Starlink satellite equipment that it contained to Svoboda, Pravy Sektor, the National Corps, C14, the Azov Brigade, the Aidar Battalion, the Donbas Battalion, the Dnipro-1 Battalion, the Dnipro-2 Battalion, the Kraken Regiment, and all the rest of them, so, if this is happening at all, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps would have no interest in paying North London teenagers to set fire to empty and decommissioned ambulances unless Britain had been from the start a full participant in the war on Iran. That and similar attacks would not be an excuse to "enter" this war. They would be yet another reason to exit it. So keep an eye on this, since even harsher anti-protest and related laws again are coming down the line, in time for the everyday food shortages that this war will very soon be causing. As the latest pretext for such repression, the war is too useful to be allowed to end.
