Keir Starmer, British politician and barrister, Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Labour Party
By Baldmichael Theresoluteprotector’sson
As a general election is coming up tomorrow on the 4th July, I thought it about time to cover Keir Starmer, or Queer Stammer as I think of him. Not that he has a stammer or is queer as such, however you wish to take the meaning of the word ‘queer’.

It’s rather last minute, but I have been away with my wife and couldn’t get round to finishing it off any earlier.
I shall use the Wikipedia page on him as a basis for research. Text in italics from here unless otherwise noted.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer
Early life and education
Keir Rodney Starmer was born in Southwark, London, on 2 September 1962. He grew up in the small town of Oxted in Surrey. He was the second of the four children of Josephine (née Baker), a nurse, and Rodney Starmer, who was a toolmaker.
So his father was a toolmaker. His life was making tools and one of them was Keir.
When I see the name Rodney I can’t but help think of Rodney from ‘Only Fools and Horses’, the TV series which is based in Peckham, also in the borough of Southwark.
Rodney is a bit of a fool. Perhaps there is a link.
His mother had Still’s disease.
She died in 2015 so doesn’t still have Still’s disease obviously. As a nurse perhaps she had compulsory vaccines. I don’t suppose anybody asked this basic question. According to the wiki page on Still’s disease the disease is considered a diagnosis of exclusion.
In other words it must be Still’s disease because it is not something else.
Like the vaccines (shh, don’t say that!).
His parents were Labour Party supporters, and named him after the party’s first parliamentary leader, Keir Hardie, although he told an interviewer in 2015 that he didn’t actually know.
Keir Hardie worked in the coal mines from the age of 10 until 23 years old. Whereas Keir Starmer
…passed the 11-plus examination and gained entry to Reigate Grammar School, then a voluntary aided selective grammar school. The school was converted into an independent fee-paying school in 1976, while he was a student. He was exempt from paying fees until the age of 16, and his sixth-form study fees were paid by a bursary he received from the private school’s charity.
The link says
In his teenage years, Starmer was active in Labour politics; he was a member of the Labour Party Young Socialists in East Surrey. He was a junior exhibitioner at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama until the age of 18, and played the flute, piano, recorder and violin.
The violin is a type of fiddle. Suitable for politicians to play then.
In the early 1980s, Starmer was caught by police illegally selling ice creams while trying to raise money during a holiday to the French Riviera. He escaped the incident without punishment, beyond the ice creams being confiscated.
I am not sure if it was in France or the UK but no doubt the police enjoyed the ice cream; it saved paying for them.
Starmer studied law at the University of Leeds, becoming a member of the university’s Labour Club and graduating with first class honours and a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree in 1985, becoming the first member of his family to graduate. He undertook postgraduate studies at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, graduating from the University of Oxford as a Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) in 1986.
So he became a lawyer. As we know there are lawyers, damn lawyers and politicians.
From 1986 to 1987, Starmer served as the editor of Socialist Alternatives, a Trotskyist radical magazine. The magazine was produced by an organisation under the same name, which represented the British section of the International Revolutionary Marxist Tendency (IRMT).
I see ‘Socialist Alternatives’ anagrams to
Totalitarians vesicles
I.e. ‘totalitarians containers’ which explains much.
‘As I list revelation acts’ is another which is why we are in what I think of as the end times.
Then there is the old serpent in
ie all Satanist vortices
Vortices dragging people into chaos. As to the ‘International Revolutionary Marxist Tendency’ this could be turned into
I enrol Trudy into Satan envy intolerance matrix
As to whom Trudy is who knows. Perhaps it is Justin ‘just call me Jesus Christ’ Trudeau.
Barrister
I always thought a barrister served coffee in a coffee shop. I see
He was called to the bar in several Caribbean countries, where he defended convicts sentenced to the death penalty.
Caribbean sound like a coffee bean to me. He probably would have been better off serving coffee than forcing himself on the electorate.
I assume he defended the convicts sentenced to the death penalty to get practice in for defending himself one day. There is a foot note link.
Keir Starmer: The sensible radical
31 March 2020, updated 17 Aug 2020
Sensible radical is an oxymoron and Starmer is certainly a moron as we will see.
Fascinatingly, ‘Sensible radical’ anagrams to ‘licenses AD Blair’. As Starmer seems to be aligning himself with Mr B. Liar perhaps this is not surprising. The link says
On 6 March, before the coronavirus pandemic paralysed Britain and upended the normal rules of the nation’s politics, Keir Starmer travelled to York to address a meeting of his supporters.
and
In a room upstairs, several dozen activists had spent the afternoon phone-banking for Starmer’s campaign – he comes bearing boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts as recompense.
I would have thought that was enough not to support him. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are krap (sic).
he is 57 now, without quite looking it (he confesses to moisturising nightly).
Lord preserve us from nightly moisturisers like Starmer.
Not about Starmer but it says
With the Conservatives deploying the full force of the state to underwrite the British economy through the pandemic…
For which read the full farce of the state to fool the nation into panicking about an imaginary disease or the ‘flu if you prefer which almost disappeared off the records.
As to underwrite the economy read massively increase debt and skim off millions of pounds into their pockets.
He spent his childhood in a ramshackle, pebble-dashed semi-detached home in Oxted, Surrey, where the Starmers kept donkeys in their garden.
It is rumoured that Keir was one of the donkeys. In fact his full name anagrams to ‘star merrier donkey’ so maybe there’s more truth to that than meets the eye.
Starmer joined Labour in his early teens and led the East Surrey Young Socialists. At that time, Militant’s tentacles enveloped much of Labour’s youth movement, but Starmer resisted them. According to Jon Pike, an Open University academic and east Surrey contemporary, Starmer had no truck with Bennite Euroscepticism, or the tankies who haunted hard-left meetings. “European internationalism has always been very strong for me,” Starmer told me.
European internationalism has this longest one word anagram, ‘nonrepresentational’. Which I think sums up the problems with the EU, the lack of representation and decisions made without considering the people.
In fact we can also get ‘proletarianisation’. As Wikipedia says
Therefore, an increasing mass of the population was reduced to dependence on wage labor for income, i.e. they had to sell their labor power to an employer for a wage or salary because they lacked assets or other sources of income.
From
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proletarianization
So perhaps that’s what Keir Starmer wants then, put everybody on the bottom. He might not include himself though.
Starmer, an ardent Remainer, made his peace with Brexit at the outset of the leadership campaign. But the pro-Europeanism that has manifested itself through his efforts to soften Labour’s Brexit position – first through his legalistic “six tests”, the device that enabled Labour to vote against Theresa May’s deal – comes from a place of deep conviction.
Deep conviction is what we should give Keir Starmer. The Tower of London has a dungeon doesn’t it?
A remainer anagrams to ‘ear miner’. Sounds about right, undermining the Brexit process.
These were his tests.
Starmer’s six tests for the Brexit deal are:
1. Does it ensure a strong and collaborative future relationship with the EU?
2. Does it deliver the “exact same benefits” as we currently have as members of the single market and customs union?
3. Does it ensure the fair management of migration in the interests of the economy and communities?
4. Does it defend rights and protections and prevent a race to the bottom?
5. Does it protect national security and our capacity to tackle cross-border crime?
6. Does it deliver for all regions and nations of the UK?
From
Makes it sound as though from his perspective we might as well have stayed in the EU.
Which was the point no doubt. Not so much making his peace with Brexit as taking the peace (sic) with Brexit. Continuing
By then Starmer had moved into a flat above a brothel in Highgate, where he devoted himself to work.
It doesn’t say what type of work or whether it was in the flat or the brothel. Nowadays he works with the prostitutes in parliament, the politicians who have sold themselves to the Whore of Babylon.
Starmer decided against prosecuting the police officers responsible for the killings of Jean Charles de Menezes, the Brazilian electrician shot dead on a Tube having been wrongly identified as a terror suspect following the London attacks of 2005, and of Ian Tomlinson, the London newspaper seller pushed to his death at the G20 protests in 2010. Under his leadership, the CPS charged anti-austerity protesters for staging a sit-in at Fortnum & Mason in 2012; one academic accused Starmer, who once defended the rights of acid house ravers, of criminalising peaceful assembly and protests.
It didn’t do to prosecute the police officers as this would have raised questions about Cressida Dick who was needed to help diversify the Metropolitan Police into a less competent farce force, sorry I mean service.
Detractors also note his eye for a tabloid-friendly policy announcement, and the fluency with which he could speak the moral language of the right. A 2013 interview in which Starmer unveiled new prosecution guidelines that threatened welfare fraudsters with up to ten years in prison has haunted his campaign.
Welfare fraudsters should be prosecuted strongly. Especially those who are politicians exploiting the welfare of the people they are supposed to serve.
As the coronavirus crisis deepens – and with it the strains on the NHS and social security system – Conservative MPs fret that Starmer might capture the mood of the hour with a similar message. Though some in Labour believe Starmer has been slow to respond himself, he has pushed Boris Johnson to do more, and faster. Starmer wants every Briton’s income to be guaranteed by the government, statutory sick pay to be trebled and businesses cutting jobs to be directly subsidised to prevent further layoffs.
In other words he fell for the scam, or was in on it, and wanted to indebt the UK as much as the Tories. Of course when he wants every Briton’s income to be guaranteed by the government he includes himself. It’s a nice little earner being an MP.
It seems the Tories benefit far more than labour.
Unless you are Tony Blair of course. Starmer is doing quite well too I gather.
As much as his detractors cast him as a Miliband redux, Starmer is rather more like the men and women Labour has lost: aspirational, suburban, and godless. As a child, he attended church services with his mother. Now, he jokes, The Pineapple – a Victorian pub off the Kentish Town Road – is his church.
Let everybody bow down to the mighty Pineapple or perhaps just Apple and its products. But godless Starmer is indeed.
Continuing with his main Wiki article.
During this time he also marched and authored legal opinions against the Iraq War, stating in 2015 that he believed that the Iraq War was “not lawful under international law because there was no UN resolution expressly authorising it.”
Yet he seems to be getting in bed with Tony Blair and his supporters.

Keir Starmer recasts Blair model for age of insecurity

It says
Sir Keir has made no secret of his admiration for Sir Tony and his record for winning elections. Behind the scenes, Sir Keir has been advised by some of the former prime minister’s closest allies, including the architect of New Labour, Peter Mandelson.
Not good news.
Director of Public Prosecutions
In February 2012, Starmer announced that Cameron–Clegg coalition cabinet member Chris Huhne would be prosecuted for perverting the course of justice, saying in relation to the case that “[w]here there is sufficient evidence we do not shy away from prosecuting politicians”
Would he have prosecuted himself and most of the parliament since 2020 I wonder?
Member of Parliament
Starmer was selected in December 2014 to be the Labour Party’s prospective parliamentary candidate for the Labour UK constituency of Holborn and St Pancras, a safe seat, following the decision of the sitting MP Frank Dobson to retire.
So somebody must have liked him.
He became a member of the Labour Friends of Israel and Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East.
His wife is Jewish so it makes sense to be friends of Israel.
And to be on the safe side friends of Palestine and the Middle East. Why not be friends with everybody I say.
Shadow Brexit Secretary
Following Corbyn’s win in the 2016 Labour Party leadership election in September, Starmer accepted an appointment as Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, replacing Emily Thornberry. On taking up the role, Starmer resigned from a consultancy position with the law firm specialising in human rights, Mishcon de Reya, that had acted for Gina Miller in bringing legal proceedings against the government in R (Miller) v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union.
I see Gina Miller, who has wanted to prevent Brexit despite her weasel words to the contrary, has set up a new party. She was not born in the UK and it is bizarre that so many people like her have had a significant say in what the UK does.
‘derailing liar man’ is an anagram of her full name, Gina Nadira Miller.
So is ‘inlaid German liar’. As I say Germany and the Germanics are behind much of what goes on today this seems suitable. As I have pointed out elsewhere, the EU is Germany’s Fourth Reich. Asset stripping the UK is part of the game.
At the 2018 Labour Party Conference on 25 September, Starmer advocated for a referendum on the Brexit withdrawal agreement, saying that “our options must include campaigning for a public vote, and nobody is ruling out remain as an option”.
Bear in mind we voted to come out of the EU, albeit only just. Now he wanted to give us the option to stay anyway. Undermining the Brexit process as I have said, anything to try and keep us tied to the EU.
Starmer was a supporter of a proposed second referendum on Brexit. This position was included as a Labour Party policy in the party’s 2019 general election manifesto.
Give people the opportunity to change their minds. Repeat process until the desired outcome arises. Rather like Nicola Sturgeon in Scotland.
In the 2019 general election, Labour suffered its fourth consecutive general election defeat and worst election defeat since 1935, with the Conservative Party earning an 80-seat majority. Starmer began to distance himself from Corbyn’s leadership and many of the policies he put forward at the election, revealing in 2024 that he was “certain that we would lose the 2019 election”.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. A second referendum didn’t go down too well then I suppose.
Leadership of the Labour Party
Unison, with 1.3 million members, said Starmer was the best placed candidate to unite the party and regain public trust. He also gained support from former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.
All good reasons NOT to trust him. Gorden ‘Golden’ Brown who sold most of the UK’s gold reserves and ‘Sadist’ Khan who says you Khan’t.
2024 general election
Starmer has led his party in the 2024 general election, which he said was an “opportunity for change” and offered three reasons why voters should vote Labour, firstly to “stop the chaos”, secondly “because it’s time for change” and thirdly because Labour have “a long-term plan to rebuild Britain” that “is ready to go, fully-costed and fully funded.”
Hmm…..Labour have been part of the chaos problem, and changing the government will mean more of the same, dressed in a different way.
As to “a long-term plan to rebuild Britain” that “is ready to go, fully-costed and fully funded”, well, how often have we heard that before.
On 13 June, the Labour Party released its manifesto Change, which focused on economic growth, planning system reforms, infrastructure, what they describe as ‘clean energy’, healthcare, education, childcare, and strengthening workers’ rights. It pledged a new publicly owned energy company, a ‘Green Prosperity Plan’, reducing patient waiting times in the NHS, and renationalisation of the railway network. It includes wealth creation and ‘pro-business and pro-worker’ policies. The manifesto also pledged to give votes to 16 year olds, reform the House of Lords, and to tax private schools, with money generated going into improving state education.
Votes to 16 year olds means typically more votes for those who tend to be more left leaning and Labour supporters. As for the rest I discuss some of these later.
Policies and views
Starmer’s politics have been described as unclear and “hard to define”. When he was elected as Labour leader, Starmer was widely believed to belong to the soft left of the Labour Party. However, he has since moved to the political centre-ground.
Whatever it takes to be electable I guess.
The term Starmerism has been coined to refer to Starmer’s political ideology and his supporters have been called Starmerites.
The longest single anagram from ‘Starmerism’ is ‘smarmiest. Hmm…..
‘Starmerites’ contains the word ‘marmite’. Some love it, some hate it, just like some love Starmer and some hate him.
As to what Starmerism is well, anything you want it to be I guess. But from Wikipedia looks like two main strands.
The first strand focused on a critique of the British state for being too ineffective and over-centralised.
Yet he wants to renationalise certain things.
The second strand was the adherence to an economic policy of “modern supply-side economics” based on expanding economic productivity by increasing participation in the labour market, mitigating the impact of Brexit and simplifying the construction planning process.
“modern supply-side economics” goes to a sublink about the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves. Apparently her economics policy is
…heavily inspired by US president Joe Biden’s economic policy, particularly his Inflation Reduction Act.
Well, excuse my French, but that’s the UK further buggered up.
As to mitigating the impact of Brexit, well having him leave the UK would help.
And simplifying the construction planning process simply means plastering yet more of the UK with houses in this already overcrowded island, unless you live on the periphery in Scotland for example.
Domestic issues
The Wiki page says he wants to invest in the NHS, whereas in reality it needs demolition and starting again, reusing whatever is worth saving. 4 years plus of the COVID nonsense has shown us that if nothing else has.
And I gather
He has committed to eliminate fossil fuels from the UK electricity grid by 2030, five years earlier than the Conservative government’s target.
He lives in a fool’s paradise. We could have invested in nuclear power to back up the grid but no party has bitten the bullet on that one. The French did though.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France
In a speech on 13 May 2023, Starmer stated that,
The Conservative Party can no longer claim to be conservative. It conserves nothing we value — not our rivers and seas, not our NHS or BBC, not our families, not our nation. We must understand there are precious things – in our way of life, in our environment, in our communities – that it is our responsibility to protect and preserve and to pass on to future generations. If that sounds conservative, then let me tell you: I don’t care.
It is true Conservative Party can no longer claim to be conservative. It conserves nothing I value, honesty, integrity and good public service. It has hugely increased public debt, poisoned the nation via its promotion of vaccines and under David Cameron allowed same-sex marriage, an affront to the Creator of this world.
But then the Labour party under Tony Blair did much the same and successive governments since World War Two have undermined the moral basis of society from the rescinding of the death penalty up to our current struggle with the transgender insanity.
Foreign affairs
He also criticised the Stop the War Coalition in an op-ed for The Guardian, writing that the group’s members were “not benign voices for peace” but rather “[a]t best they are naive, at worst they actively give succour to authoritarian leaders” such as Russian President Vladimir Putin “who directly threaten democracies.”
Starmer is naïve, not realising he is supporting the war mongers in the USA and UK which justify the spending on arms manufacture.
He also called for Russian leaders, including Putin, to be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.
Well, there are huge numbers to be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity and they include many in the world including the UK. I mean those who concluded in the COVID scam which includes Keir Starmer.
Personal life
Starmer married Victoria Alexander on 6 May 2007 at Fennes in Essex.
Fennes where swamp creatures go I guess.
She was previously a solicitor, who first came across her husband when he queried a brief she had sent him. Her Jewish father was born in Britain, after his family arrived from Poland, and her mother was a community doctor. She attended Gospel Oak Primary School and Channing School in Highgate. She is younger than Sir Keir, but her age has not been revealed. She is interested in horse racing, music and food, and is known as ‘Lady Vic’ among Labour staff. Having retrained after having children, she now works in NHS occupational health in Camden.
I wonder if she is noticing problems with health due to the vaccines?
The couple’s two children – a boy born in 2008 and a girl born in 2010, whose names have never been revealed – attended Eleanor Palmer Primary School in Kentish Town, and are being brought up to know the Jewish faith and background of their maternal grandparents. Starmer said he does not believe in God, but does believe in faith and its power to bring people together.
So he doesn’t really believe in anything, but having his children brought up to know the Jewish faith may help put Labour back in the Jews good books.
But not God’s who is not deceived.
He is a pescatarian and his wife is a vegetarian.
So he is rather fishy. Pescatarian anagrams to ‘a rep Satanic’ and ‘can parasite’. Hmm…..
They raised their children as vegetarians until they were 10 years old, at which point they were given the option of eating meat. In an interview during the 2024 general election, Starmer revealed the thing he feared the most about potentially becoming prime minister is the impact it would have on his children, due to their “difficult ages” and how it would have been easier if they were younger or older.
Perhaps he could have them self-identify as older or younger, that might help.
Starmer is a keen footballer, having played for Homerton Academicals, a north London amateur team, and supports Premier League side Arsenal.
Homerton Academicals anagrams to ‘mere CD satanical homo’. It anagrams to lots of things though.
He said that football “has run through my veins since I was small boy”, and still plays it every Sunday with friends. Starmer takes his children to Arsenal football matches and commented on seeing “the joy they also get from sport.”
So that’s a lot of balls through his veins over the years.
Arsenal is in full ‘The Arsenal Football Club’ and anagrams to ‘halloo BBC flatulent arse’. I wonder if the fans know?
Arse is a part anagram in his name. So maybe it is suitable for an arse to support Arsenal.
While speaking in the House of Commons on 31 January 2022, then prime minister Boris Johnson falsely blamed Starmer for the non-prosecution of the serial sex offender Jimmy Savile when Starmer was Director of Public Prosecutions in the Crown Prosecution Service. Starmer was DPP in the years immediately prior to Savile’s death but there is no evidence he was involved in the decision to not have him prosecuted. On 3 February, during an interview with Sky News, Johnson defended his comments, saying Starmer had apologised because the CPS had not investigated Savile; however, he conceded that Starmer “had nothing to do personally with those decisions”.
The question is who did then?
In May 2022 Starmer said he would resign if he received a fixed penalty notice for breaching COVID-19 regulations while campaigning during the run-up to the Hartlepool by-election and local elections the previous year. The controversy surrounding the event was dubbed “Beergate”. He and Angela Rayner were both cleared by Durham Police in July 2022 who said there was “no case to answer”.
As a lawyer Starmer should have known there was no case as the whole so-called COVID-19 regulations were GUIDANCE as I keep saying.
So it is not surprising he was cleared as he didn’t have to follow the guidance.
However he as a lawyer could have explained that to the general public at the start of the nonsense. But he didn’t because as I have said before there are lawyers, damn lawyers and politicians including Keir Starmer.
There you are. How about some anagrams?

Summary and final thoughts
That’s my take on Keir Starmer for you, perhaps it might help people understand the man. It's been a bit rushed at the end but better late than never.
Anyway, I see that Keir is an alternative to kier meaning apparently ‘tub used for bleaching’ .
I am not sure that fills me with any more confidence in him.
The anagrams amuse me, especially ‘ok try arse reminder’. Let’s face it, we have a ‘hi risk anus’ in Rishi Sunak so, as so often is the case, we have a couple of rear ends heading up the two main parties!
Then there is ‘Naked terror misery’!
I should mention this which points out the Jewish interests which fund both sides of politics. You might find it rather strong and I haven’t analysed in detail, but as I have pointed out before, there are Jews who say they are Jews but are not but are of the synagogue of Satan.
I think it should bother people that he aligns himself with Tony Blair who has tried to sabotage Brexit and promoted vaccines etc. I hope to do a post on him in due course.
The BBC talk about Starmer of course.

There are comments underneath. This one sums up Starmer.
Starmer…..the millionaire socialist. Earns like a Tory, speaks like a Tory, lives like a Tory but pretends to be for the working class.
And as Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses might say ‘You plonker, Rodney!’
As to whom one votes for tomorrow well that requires prayerful consideration. None of the parties are good and one might be tempted not to bother to play the game.
But if we don’t go out we won’t interact with others and who knows what can come out of conversations.
After all, the lockdowns made so many of us hide away and that is not a good thing.
If one is to vote for anybody one should at least vote for those of good character as far as one can judge. In any event, as the Bible says pray for those in authority “for kings and all those in authority— so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.”
And don’t we all need that.
