UK General Election 2024, and its aftermath

[Tintin]

"Now that one of the key people behind all this has just been elected prime minister, it’s even less likely that we’ll ever learn the truth. Indeed, one cannot help but wonder if releasing Assange just before the election wasn’t a way — for Starmer and everyone else involved — to make this story go away once and for all."

I'll post this over on the Assange thread a little later but no harm in positioning this here in the post-election debris field.

Much speculation over why Assange's release right now, but it really had occurred to me that there must be a link to this election, and Starmer, being so closely linked to his persecution and that their UK man, Starmer, being most likely propelled to the helm of Government.

This Substack post by Thomas Fazi provides some background. It should serve as a reminder of the nature of the person that is now our Prime Minister.

Starmer's role in Assange's persecution
Source: https://www.thomasfazi.com/p/starmer...es-persecution

As head of the UK Crown Prosecution Service, the newly elected British PM Keir Starmer played a key role in setting in motion the infernal legal machinery that crushed Assange for 14 years

Even though Julian Assange was finally freed last month, after a 14-year-long ordeal, many myths still endure about the whole affair. One of these is that the case concerning Assange’s alleged rape of two girls in Sweden, in 2010, never went to trial because Assange evaded justice. In reality, Assange, who was then in the UK, made himself available for questioning via several means, by telephone or video conference, or in person in the Australian embassy. But the Swedish authorities insisted on questioning him in Sweden. Assange’s legal team countered that extradition of a suspect simply to question him — not to send him to trial, as he had not been charged — was a disproportionate measure.

This was more than a technicality: Assange feared that if he were extradited to Sweden, the latter’s authorities would extradite him to the US, where he had good reason to believe that he wouldn’t be given a fair trial. Sweden, after all, always refused to provide Assange a guarantee of non-extradition to the US — the reason why, when in 2012 the British Supreme Court ruled that he should be extradited to Sweden, Assange sought political asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy. From there, however, he continued to make known his availability to be interrogated by the Swedish authorities inside the embassy, but they never replied.

Thanks to a FOIA investigation by the Italian journalist Stefania Maurizi, it would later emerge that a crucial role in getting Sweden to pursue this highly unusual line of conduct was played by the UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the principal public agency for conducting criminal prosecutions, then led by one Keir Starmer. In early 2011, while Assange was still under house arrest, Paul Close, a British lawyer with the CPS, gave his Swedish counterparts his opinion on the case, apparently not for the first time. “My earlier advice remains, that in my view it would not be prudent for the Swedish authorities to try to interview the defendant in the UK”, Close wrote. Why did the Crown Prosecution Service advise the Swedes against the only legal strategy that could have brought the case to a rapid resolution, namely questioning Julian Assange in London, rather than insisting on his extradition?

In hindsight, it seems clear that the CPS’s aim was precisely that of keeping the case in a legal limbo, and Assange trapped in Britain, for as long as possible, especially considering how shaky the case against Assange was in the first place. After all, what better outcome for Assange’s enemies than keeping him under investigation for years, suspected of being a rapist but never either charged or cleared once and for all, thus justifying his arbitrary detention? The CPS’s hostile treatment of Assange, the citizen of an allied country, continued even after he sought refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy, for example by insisting on denying him “safe passage” in UK territory in order to be treated in a hospital for a shoulder problem.

A year after Assange had taken refuge in the embassy, it appears that the Swedish prosecutor was considering dropping the extradition proceedings, but she was deterred from doing so by the CPS. The prosecutor was concerned, among other things, about the mounting costs of costs of the Scotland Yard agents guarding the embassy day and night. But for the British authorities this was not a problem; they replied that they “do not consider costs are a relevant factor in this matter”.

As a result of the Swedish authorities’ highly unusual behaviour, Assange had, by then, been arbitrarily and illegitimately forced into detention for seven years, as was concluded even by the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.

What role, if any, did Keir Starmer play in all this as head of the CPS? During the period when the body was overseeing Assange’s extradition to Sweden, Starmer made several trips to Washington. US records show Starmer met with Attorney General Eric Holder and a host of American and British national security officials. Using the Freedom of Information Act, the British media organisation Declassified UK requested the itinerary for each of Starmer’s four trips to Washington with details of his official meetings, including any briefing notes. CPS replied that all the documents relative to Starmer’s trips to Washington had been destroyed. Asked for clarification — and whether the destruction of documents was routine — the CPS did not respond.

Similarly, when Maurizi submitted a FOIA request to the CPS to shed light on the correspondence between Paul Close and the Swedish authorities, she was also told that all the data associated with Paul Close’s account had been deleted when he retired and could not be recovered. This only beckoned more questions: why did the CPS destroy key documents on a high-profile, ongoing case? And what did the CPS destroy exactly, and on whose instructions? The CPS added that Close’s email account had been deleted “in accordance with standard procedure”. However, Maurizi would later discover that this procedure was by no means standard. The destruction of key emails was distinctly suspicious.

Since then, Maurizi has been waging a years-long legal fight to access documents related to the CPS and Assange case, but she has been systematically stonewalled by CPS — even despite a judge order ordering the CPS to come clean about the destruction of key documents on Assange. One cannot help but wonder: what are they trying to hide? It’s hard to shake the conclusion that the real purpose of the Swedish investigation, and of CPS’s unusual behaviour, was simply to keep Assange detained for as long as necessary to get him extradited to the US.

Now that one of the key people behind all this has just been elected prime minister, it’s even less likely that we’ll ever learn the truth. Indeed, one cannot help but wonder if releasing Assange just before the election wasn’t a way — for Starmer and everyone else involved — to make this story go away once and for all.

Sophy Ridge, from SkyNews, via X:

If there is an argument for proportional representation, this is it. However, we've always had the conundrum of the party in power, having been elected 'first past the post', not wanting a system whereby they may lose next time.

I'm living in what is now a rarity - a constituency with a Conservative MP! It's very rural and conservative here (both upper and lower case 'c') but even so it seemed nowhere near a certainty. Many rural constituencies have been voting tactically, friends in rural Oxfordshire said that many were voting Lib Dem. From the results map, that's happened in many rural areas that have been Conservative losses this time.

Also interesting was the Leicester East result - where I voted for the first time many moons ago - has elected a Conservative MP. It's been a Labour stronghold since Blair was first elected. However, it's quite a posh side of town with a lot of big houses and I think that a lot of the Hindu population of the city, many of whom were expelled from Uganda in the 1970s, have seen their businesses flourish and have moved there.

And the Israel Lobby will no doubt be celebrating - again - at the results from yesterday night.

A reminder that the Al-Jazeera undercover investigation of the Lobby (The Labour Friend's of Israel) from 2018 has been in our library since then but we updated our security status since so I've updated those links now. If anyone wants a refresher on what these folks are all about....

'If voting made a difference, they would never let us vote'

So, the day after, and I cannot yet bring myself to be 'philosophical' about the 'election' results. Never mind that the first past the post system is so unfair anyway (for heavens sake, Reform got a third of the country's vote, a good result, but only four (?) seats!) and Starmer was always going to win as he's the WEF's 'choice' this time around, and most of the UK's public are incredibly ignorant in politics. I'm trying to park the public's stupidity, while I think of another 'cause' for the 'results'

This begs the question from me: could the numbers have been fiddled? After the blatant rigging of the 2020 USA presidential 'race', nothing will ever surprise me again.
If so, how would they do this? We have a different system to the Americans, sure, but I would put nothing past the establishment in their attempts to put their man in place.
So, I wonder how they'd pull it off?

Again, the quote 'If voting made a difference, they would never let us vote' Ringing loud and clear in my head this morning.

Or, is it the sheer stupidity of the people, who still don't get it, that I find so hard to stomach?
Seems I'd much rather don my tin-foil hat than have to live amongst such people.

That's the soul curdling part. Crooks do what crooks do, that's a given. Being trapped in a powerful current of dumbed down and mostly faithless humanity is the killer. For me it always has been.

When I first started to find out that the world is nothing like I was told it was, that was tough, but nothing like as tough as immediately finding out that all the people in my life that I tried to share that realization with were not the slightest bit interested.

I collapsed, because of that isolation, not because of the primary shock of the information I'd absorbed.

That has never really changed since.

I get angry when some people tell me the people are so stupid they SHOULD be culled etc. I know the criminals running the world did that to those dumbed down people deliberately. In a world that was the right way up instead of the way it is, all those weak 'minded' dumbed down people would be so beautiful and creative and everyone of them in the asset column for humanity.

The most unfair thing is that the true deficit column occupants are the bastards running the world. If I allow myself to, I can become a possessed devil of rage about that and the people who pop up with their faithless lumbering intellects to defend them.

Opposite here. Many are in shock that Labour won my constituency. It had been Conservative since the invention of the wheel (really - pre-WWI) . They won on the strength of their Tory bashing rhetoric (most I happened to agree with), and lots of fancy promises,

Bill: Using Nigel Farage as my measuring stick, did his side of the aisle gain ground or lose ground? Thanks.

His party, Reform UK, is predicted by the exit polls to win 13 seats. (Before, they had zero.)

A further extract from the BBC's running live feed:

~~~

And then there is the stand out set of numbers in the first two results for Reform UK - beating the Conservatives easily, in safe Labour territory.

Reform UK has cut through, the evidence suggests so far - and is a big part of the story tonight.

Reform UK deputy leader David Bull has been speaking about his party's success in the vote share of the two seats that have already been announced - Houghton and Sunderland South, and Blyth and Ashington.

"This is an historic moment," he says. "I think what you're seeing is the shy 'Reformers' coming out in droves."

To say I'm disappointed that Reform have only secured 4 seats is an understatement. At the time of writing there's a recounting of Thurrock for the fourth time (each time Reform had the majority), so there might be one more, making 5 seats. But as 13 seats were predicted by the Exit Poll - and on the news it was reported that Reform got 4 seats with 14% of the votes while Conservatives held onto 121 seats with 24% - there's surely the possibility of skullduggery?

Evidently there was a referendum on whether "First Past the Post" voting should be changed in 2011 and the public voted against it. I can't remember that, but the current way of voting is definitely unfair as it doesn't reflect the will of the people. A Referendum is supposedly a once in a generation occurrence, but if there's a major issue - like war for instance - the country should surely have a say in it.

A disappointing result too for George Galloway, who lost his recently acquired seat in Rochdale, and Craig Murray in Blackburn wasn't elected either. I wonder whether Reform took votes from George but was surprised to hear that he wasn't present for the announced result.

We knew Labour was going to win by a large majority and that Conservative would lose many seats, but I was still amazed that ANYONE would vote Conservative given the current state of the UK.

The newly elected Reform MPs taking questions from the mainstream press today. They have a huge job ahead of them but they all pledged to listen to the people and to turn the country around.

The first 15 minutes is given over to heckling from some members of the audience, who were fairly quickly despatched before another one got up. Nigel Farage starts the presentation at 15:12. What follows is both interesting and stirring; Nigel Farage can certainly talk the talk and work a room, and the Reform Party - now with a 5th confirmed seat - is ready to take on the establishment. I wish them all the luck in the world - they're going to need it

You're starting to prove my point. 'Skullduggery'? I feel it in my bones. Exit polls are supposed to be a good indicator of how things went, so how the hell do you go from 13 seats to just four in a few hours?
I'll tell you that the reason that FPTP is kept is because it can be manipulated in the face of public ignorance. Proportional Representation would be harder to fiddle. Thats the reason why we likely wont get offered this. Reform have stated that they will fight for this. Good luck with that one, Nigel!

'The public voted against it'? I don't think that. Either they didn't have the proper info about PR (quite likely...just look at how many swallowed the 'vaccines are safe') mantra or again, the results were fiddled. Quite likely! Given the bloody track record of how we've been shafted, its so easy to come to the conclusion, especially that Andrew Brigden has stated that the real Brexit referendum result was 71% for, and not 51% as we've been told.

Think about this one: since Sunak called this 'election', the behavioural scientists got going......We've had the meme everywhere, that 'labour will win a landslide' No iffs or buts. So, the outcome of this punch and judy ****show was always that labour would win a big majority. (No matter how the public voted). That's what the elite intended. You just have to announce it in media everywhere and it becomes a public 'truth'. So - that makes it much easier to fiddle the results somehow because people expect it and their bull**** radar is down.

As I'm typing this, I've just been told that Reform have got their 5th MP, Basildon, Essex.

Good on you, Reform

Having oulasted Truss, the lettuce finally wilted after a dastardly attack from the rear.



Hi Risk came from a humble background.



Yet he could lie and cheat with the worst of them and quickly found himself in the company of other humongous haemorrhoids.



At this juncture even Dumb and Dumber were dangerously close to seeing through the pantomime. So the UK turkeys were all brainwashed into voting for another Christmas.

This filth was parachuted down our chimneys. He's seen here without his Beard, instead preferring a wanktastic military cosplay guise to usher in Starmageddon.



If you voted for Starmageddon, then you should save your last remaining brain cell from the fog it's in and read this:

I'll let you into a little secret. This is how the political system and voting really works in every country around the world. SINCE FOREVER!

Don't be fooled again.

And put as much distance between your children and potential military conscription as you possibly can.

Alexander Mercouris of The Duran gives his analysis with a brief history of the political parties which (except for Labour who he says came in late 1800s) literally go back hundreds of years - like the 1600s - which makes me remember what Dr John Coleman said about the Super Rich Ruling Class going back to the early 1600s and the British East India Company - - - - from memory about this - it was when Queen Elizabeth 1st gave that company a monopoly and they became rich beyond imagination - and the whole thing was also to do with the Opium Wars and getting the Chinese population hooked on opium -

The families that go back to those times are probably STILL pulling the strings because of how rich and powerful they became - there was a Dutch East India Company as well... and it was all to do with global trade and whatnot... money sloshing around like never before...

but I digress.... it was against this background of the historic power of the British Political Parties that Alexander explained what an amazing breakthrough Nigel and Reform UK have made - because the old Parties don't like anyone else coming in.... but they have managed to break through

He spoke a bit about how George Galloway was ousted even though he was very popular - and (if I've got this right)...... because the old historic very well established parties close ranks to exclude interlopers and shuffle the votes around - I presume this means that taking the Rochdale Results for example - Tories would have switched tacktically to Labour because they were most likely to topple George....

Perhaps this is where some of the 'skullduggery' lies... ? How the historic old parties manage to shoo off any threat to them..... by collusion ..... the Uniparty really is the Uniparty at it's heart... one outfit preserving it's power...Alexander also describes how the main historic parties are actually in decline including Labour but still while declining pulled off the landslide...

anyway - - here's The Duran Video...(30:03)....

That's all very well and good, but he's stuffily talking the long political games of old. Yea, Reform have a 5 year beach head etc etc but we don't HAVE 5 years to play that long game with. Digital QR money and food supply sabotage and war and the rest of it are pressing down on the immediate path in front of us.

The Labor majority means absolutely no one else in parliament can introduce changes to anything they want to do. Parliament is unfit for purpose as of right now. We have to brainstorm and come up with other ways of getting stuff done direct from the people bypassing the nonsense we're going to have shoved in our faces from Westminster.

For a start, if you are a car owner I suggest kitting it out for sleeping in it on jaunts to protests and gatherings etc. There are plenty of youtube videos of people who have lived in their cars for extended periods who have great advice to share.

When all else fails, as it bloody well has, get off arse and get going.

Oh, drag your tv up to the highest window in your home and throw it out. Stop buying your things from giant corporations. Get some lightweight stainless steel cooking and food utensils that will stash easily in a car. Start thinking like a tinker/pike/Roma. Keep a grab bag ready to make a fast move. Get a burner phone or two from Asda or wherever.

Am I serious ? kinda, and deadly so about the car living.

I would offer my sincere condolences to the English members here, but South Africa is just as much of a basket case, even more so actually. Little did we know back in the 1990's that we were the blueprint and testing ground for a model to be rolled out in the Western world some two and a half decades later. We thought we were unique.

I will just leave this 53 minute overview from David Icke here for those who may be interested, most of the points he makes seems to align with the comments here on this thread.

British King Charles has officially appointed Keir Starmer ( WEF ) as Prime Minister. The new leader left Buckingham Palace for Downing Street, where he addressed the British. During his speech he said Britain must rediscover its identity. “It should now be clear to everyone that our country needs a "bigger reset", a rediscovery of who we are,” said Starmer , making it clear where his loyalties lie.

• "We will rebuild everything"

He pledged to move the UK into 'calmer waters' and also announced investments in infrastructure and opportunities, education and affordable housing. He repeatedly said that his government exists to 'serve' the people and that he will fight every day until confidence is restored. “We will rebuild everything, brick by brick,” Starmer said. Build back better? “Our work is urgent and we start now.”

• Shoof

WEF 's Ed Miliband will be the new minister of energy and climate. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof wrote on X that he looks forward to working with Labor leader Starmer. “I have just conveyed my warmest congratulations. I look forward to our collaboration and look forward to meeting each other in the coming weeks,” said Schoof.
