Amazing, isn’t it, that Starmer can talk about the growing and violent anti-Jewishness in our society without dropping the M bomb.
He prattles on, using phrases like ‘’a test of all our values’’, without pointing out the obvious; there has been a direct increase in antisemitism due to the increasing number of Muslims in our nation, which in turn has been fueled by illegal migrants from Islamic nations.
The reason he doesn’t mention the M word is that he fears he will lose even more Muslim voters in the elections on Thursday than have already gone to either independent (that’s a laugh) Muslim candidates or their handmaidens, the Greens.
Shows how out of touch he is. Somebody should tell Starmer they have already buggered off. If you want to know how detached the growing Muslim population is from the rest of us (predominantly white), let me direct you to a frightening poll in The Times.
The survey by JL Partners covered Muslim areas, including the key election battlegrounds of Greater London, the West Midlands, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire and shows nearly half of Muslim voters wanted to ban Israeli-built technology from the NHS, while 59 per cent supported increasing income tax by 1p in the £ to fund reconstruction in Gaza.
A vast majority of Britons don’t want to increase taxes to even fund the reconstruction of Walsall. It gets worse. Nearly two-thirds of Muslims said their religious identity was the most important aspect of who they are. Most said being British still mattered. Well, thanks very much.
Perhaps they enjoy the welfare. Probably, they celebrate the fact that the pubs are shutting down at the rate of two a week.
Opportunity to turn them into mosques. Come Thursday, the poll reveals a quarter of Muslim voters said the war in Gaza would determine their vote – a much greater proportion than those who said the economy, housing, healthcare or crime would be the major factor.
How incredible that a conflict thousands of miles away, where Islamic terrorists literally slaughtered and raped Israelis on October 7, knowing a war would start, would be more important to them than their rent or the cost of milk. These people are separated from the rest of us. A massive worry.
My fears don’t end there. Fifty-two per cent supported making it a criminal offence to depict the Prophet Muhammad, and 63 per cent supported the public burning of holy books.
Actually, I suspect the Muslim population couldn’t give a damn about the Christian Bible; their interest was in defending the Quran.
Had Starmer read this poll before spouting this trite nonsense like ‘’only by working together’’ can we stamp out hostility to Jews, he may well have cancelled a news conference which would have impressed nobody and incensed many.

There is a massive gulf between the vast majority in Britain and the Muslim population. That gap, as this poll shows, is seemingly unbridgeable.
It’s clear there is a deep hatred of Jews among some in the Muslim community, and this is having violent consequences.
Starmer should turn off the waffleometer and use the M word when singling out the guilty for criticism. The reality is that Muslims should make a greater effort to integrate into our society. Not the other way round. Learn from the Jews. They sometimes even changed their names to integrate.
That, in my view, was carrying things too far, but they wanted to be a success. And what a success they’ve been. So much so that the Muslim poll shows they believe Jews had too much influence over institutions such as the media, parliament and the banking system.
Muslims, on the other hand, are outsiders and happy to be so. With the attitudes revealed in the Times survey, that will never change. I can see nothing but more trouble ahead. And more violence.
