Is this Britian's version of Trudeau?
Yes.
And he has proved himself to be a literal friend of criminals and terrorists. Radical Muslims in the UK are exhilarated because he will 'protect' them. And pedophile catching groups on the island are already concerned that he is going to outlaw their activities and give all manner of dirtbags even more special protections.
ETA: I called him "idealistically insane" in an earlier post above but I have to take it back, because Starmer is not idealistic or insane. There is a method to his madness.
Outlawing any form of self defense and giving a literal green light to criminals to do anything they want. The thought police cannot be everywhere, and the criminals will be just another extended branch of the state muscle keeping the citizen body in a constant state of fear and unease so they do not dare to speak out or organize any countermeasures. "A Clockwork Orange" already predicted this, using criminals AS state muscle.
Divert taxpayer funds to obviously useless programs like "mandatory counseling for criminals" so the elites can enrich their own pockets with lavish abandon. Everybody KNOWS these programs never worked. You cannot help those who do not want to change and become good folks. There are no stories of former criminals who have changed because they were forced to attend a few classes that are most often presented by gang members and ex convicts themselves. The rate of new offenders who are in fact learning more advanced criminal trades like drug manufacturing and developing gang connections in these classes are astronomically high. Here in the US, these programs are known by everyone as merely "job fronts" to create more useless bureaucratic employment positions and a funnel for taxpayer money into private hands of the elite club.
Bankrupt the few remaining sportsmen and gun owners' groups in the country, stifling their activities, and possibly strangling the last bastions of gun ownership on the island. Gun license holders in the UK have already been having their licenses revoked and their guns confiscated simply for creating Youtube content about SHTF and disaster preparations involving using a gun to protect against hostiles.
All of this to pave the way for a new feudalistic order where the proles are packed into crime ridden cities, terrorized and kept in their place by both criminals and state jackboots alike, while rulers like Starmer and his buddies enjoy lavish lives behind elite security and manor walls and jet around the world to vacation resorts at their leisure.
