Keir Starmer has suggested the US is trying to interfere in British democracy after JD Vance, the US vice-president, blamed the murder of the British teenager Henry Nowak on mass migration.

The prime minister’s office responded after the senior Republican politician claimed in a post on X that Nowak would be alive “if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it”.

Downing Street did not name Vance directly but said its response to his comments was that “in recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets”.

    What has Prince Andrew to do with mass immigration? Never read such nonsense, but what else can I expect from leftist 🤷‍♂️

    What has immigration to do with one British person stabbing another. Seems even your complaining about non-sequitors is biased. What else can we expect from the right wing except selective outrage.

    As you’re engaging in bad faith allow me to: what we should really be worried about is white on white violence. Knife crime in the UK isn’t all that bad, when you remove white gang activity, even more so when you remove men-on-men violence.

    All of which to highlight, your position isn’t a serious one genuinely held. You don’t dislike non-sequitors, you engage in them. You disliked their argument, and it is convenient for you to say you don’t like non-sequitors in this moment. You aren’t serious. This culture war nonsense, the British right loves so much, is merely a distraction from the Epstein class robbing us blind.

        I’m just making fun of the frequent cases of thought terminating double think among the British/global right.

        I thought that was obvious, I highlighted the double think in this very thread, then went on to list a bunch more…

        It’s a distraction from the Epstein class robbing us blind. We can tell because of the Panama papers, listen to Murdoch/Epstein in the titular files, they’ll tell you themselves. The British right aren’t serious people with a serious point to make, they’ll say what ever, when ever to justify their presupposed position, source: you.

          You’re movin’ like you don’t know the roads at all. Bare white boys get used as fodder. Black gangs are the ones patternin’ the ends.

            I’m sure you believe that. Anyway here’s the data: [https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/bulletins/crimeinenglandandwales/yearendingseptember2025#offences-involving-firearms].

            Anyway, the most violent demographic in this country is men, men killing men all over the land. Regardless of colour or belief or wealth, it’s all men.

            What do you want to do to men because they’re so violent. I’ve heard rumblings of deportation, do you want to deport all men, or is deportation not an effective measure for violence?

            Or would you like to drop the nonsense and talk about how you’re being robbed blind by the wealthy elite funding your media.

                … and suddenly they don’t want to talk about violent demographics anymore, thanks for demonstrating my point. It’s thought terminating double think all the way down.

                If I can puppet you so easily, just think what billionaires can do to you. I swear I was elbow deep at one point, if you find my watch may I have it back? What would you do if was caught lacking Kermit? Prove my point a third time?

                    I don’t think you realise what happend to you.

                    I said the British right argue in bad faith willing to drop positions the moment they become inconvenient. In that comment I told you I was giving you a bunch of bad faith positions to take up.

                    You valiantly took up a bad faith position to defend.

                    I made the position inconvenient

                    You dropped it.

                    You dont like me, you were at your most guard. and I did that to you, and I did that to you in my downtime at work… And I’m an idiot… What do you think Rupert Murdoch could do to you, read the Epstein files and he’ll tell you.
