“The UK is quite quickly tipping towards serious civil disorder: in many parts of the country whitey has had more than enough.”
Nobody sums up the nation’s current woes like Rod Liddle, in today’s Spectator.
Sara Sharif.
The Nottingham killer.
The Manchester bomber.
The grooming gangs.
Now Henry Nowak.
We have to unpick the mentality across our public services that says accusations of racism are more important than protecting the public from harm.
The police, social services, mental health services, security guards. These are some of the hardest jobs in society where so much rests on personal judgement. There is no way they can get every call right.
But if we stay the hand of those who are meant to protect the public, if we tie them up in knots with unconscious bias training and Islamophobia definitions, then we are making their jobs even more impossible and we can see from case after case that we are failing to protect the public from serious harm.
The Mandy Files — 7
Perhaps a succinct précis of what ails this government, with Keir Starmer the heart of the problem:
Mandelson: ‘They [10 Downing Street] don’t work as a team, they are not led and none of them really know what Keir [Starmer] thinks or wants.
‘In fact most of them don’t think Keir knows what he wants.’
In these 33 words Mandelson sums up why this government , despite its landslide majority, has gone off the rails so quickly and so completely.
Nothing to see here! Just Mandelson setting up meetings between Peter Thiel, Palantir founder, you know the company that mines data, specialises in mass surveillance amongst other things, and the Prime Minister.
I'll ask it again- "What was it about the twice-disgraced, pedophile-adjacent, self-styled Prince of Darkness that you found so attractive to put into this plum job?"

Peter Mandelson tells cabinet minister Pat McFadden that Keir Starmer ‘lacks verve’ — ‘as does the cabinet as a whole.’
Labour’s problems ‘stem from the top’ — and Starmer’s failure to prioritise economic growth.
McFadden admits the Government appeared ‘tone deaf’ and a ‘bit robotic’. Now, who could he have in mind?
