Many of you have said your first priority is to tackle terrorism and violence in the UK rather than worrying about Russia’s actions near its borders. There is a general mood that government needs to do more to prevent violence on our streets and to contain terrorism.
The shocking mass murders of Jews in Australia has reminded us all of the dangers we have experienced here from political and religious extremists sometimes escalating protests to mass murder. No-one in a free society should go in fear of their lives because of their religion or ethnicity. People living here from another country are not to be blamed for anything the government of their past country does which they cannot influence. We have clear laws against the use of violence, and against incitement to violence, to keep good order.
The claim by some that the PM believes in two tier justice reflects a serious concern that we could witness more unprovoked attacks in public places in the UK, just as we have seen from the pictures of Bondi beach. This government has allowed regular protests by people showing the flag of Hamas, a banned terrorist organisation, and chanting slogans that imply or threaten death to Jewish people.
I support free speech, and the right to demonstrate. This does not mean we suspend the law against incitement to violence because something is a protest. The government needs to improve Prevent, an anti terrorist initiative. It needs to prevent hate preachers and extremist activists coming into our country. It needs to prosecute home grown inciters to violence.
The true evil lies in the way some young people are groomed and trained for violence and taught that other groups are enemies. The government needs to target the purveyors of hate and violence more, and be vigilant with young people subject to these influences and sent abroad for training in terrorism.

Good morning.
The problem with that organisation, and indeed the government, is they consider the so called, ‘Far-Right’ as the main threat. Not the main threat to the safety and peace of His Majesties Realm, but the governments power. Whilst this is indeed the case, I fear little can be done to tackle the issues highlighted in this piece.
For example. The murderer of those poor little innocent girls and the assault on others at a children’s dance class by the monster, Axel Rudicabanna (sp) could have been prevented if government agencies acted sooner. But their focus, as I stated above, was elsewhere.
December 17, 2025
Meanwhile 2TK is delaying defence spending, as I forecast a while ago. Our government is now finding it’s coming up against the real economy, as money runs out. Will it keep wasting money on vanity projects or will it find a streak of national security.
December 17, 2025
To start with, we need to reinstate a Christian Christmas celebration and Union flag on all school and national & local government funded institutions
December 17, 2025
Few free speech advocates would quibble about the need to prevent genuine incitement to violence. The problem is that governments extend the definition of incitement to suit their political objectives.
The use of the word “hate” in this context is a prime example: it’s fine to express “hate” of the Chinese regime’s treatment of minorities, if that’s your view, but it’s quite another thing to call for the murder of ethnic Chinese living here. Hatred is to be tolerated, incitement to violence is very different.
I hope you can use your position to defend freedom of expression against the authoritarian tendencies of our establishment.
December 17, 2025
@Wanderer – exactly, hence a clear demonstration of 2 tier justice. Shield your own supporters that get shouty and attack with the law, not a counter view, all those that show you up for what you are.
December 17, 2025
“The claim by some that the PM believes in two tier justice” – does anyone think that Sir Kier and the police, DPP and the justice system does not push two tier justice? They even wanted sentencing guidelines to be formally and blatantly two tier a short while back. We also have two tier recruitment and diversity hires rather than hiring on ability.
I too support free speech but clearly Sir Two Tier certainly does not, he clearly wants to kill it in the UK and not just for inciting violence. Labour are even is designing back door blasphemy laws – for just one religion and trying to kill trial by jury. Blasphemy laws are an appalling attack on our freedoms as are restrictions on trials by jury.
December 17, 2025
We largely suffer under an anarcho-tyranny, a system of government that combines oppressive state power against the essentially law-abiding citizens with a simultaneous failure or unwillingness to enforce essential protective laws against genuine, dangerous and violent criminals. So much easier, safer, pleasanter and more profitable for the state to fine the law abiding for say a tyre in a bus lane or 23 in a 20 zone – than to tackle and seriously deter real criminals.
December 17, 2025
Yes classic British understatement by our host. You forgot 2 tier dental care whereby asylum claimants appear to have an hold on dental and medical care which the indigenous population doesn’t have, with taxis to NHS appointments etc. So it’s all rather clearer than some people claiming…

December 17, 2025
@Lifelogic – agreed a one sided interpretation. But you could also suggest lazy free-loading legislators that respond to situation with knee-jerk solutions and ‘never think’ things through. Now the Law is just used to protect Parliament and its chosen government
December 17, 2025
Yes the Government needs to do all those things. The question is how to make it do them. The public have no means to do so. The Government knows it could do as you suggest but it does not want to. It actually believes it should not. Starmer’s Gang is riddled with Fabians, who don’t do God, who don’t believe sovereign nation states should exist and who pretty much reject democracy. Starmer’s Gang doesn’t like the sort of people who want it do such things. It hates them. It would rather the sort of people who support religiously motivated violence against people of other religions lived in UK than the people who do.
December 17, 2025
Yes Peter – The Fabians, they sound innoucous dont they?
“The logo of the Fabian Society, a tortoise, represented the group’s predilection for a slow, imperceptible transition to socialism, while its coat of arms, a ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’, represented its preferred methodology for achieving its goal”
They’ve ditched the “Wolf” coat of arms these days, correctly believing that the Tortoise logo will seem less threathening to the proletariat (e.g. the working class mugs who vote for them).
December 17, 2025
Not much good enforcing laws against people who live here already while the government continues to give red carpet treatment to channel migrants. The safety of its citizens is no longer any sort of government priority. They don’t even say ‘smash the gangs’ anymore, they’ve given up on that.
December 17, 2025
Correct. It appears to be another example of deliberately creating a crisis so that you can achieve “the solution” you desire … in this case, a Surveillance and Control State.
December 17, 2025
Sir John, what do you think Russia should have done when the ethnic Russian Ukrainians were being shelled and killed by the Kiev Government starting in 2014? The EU did nothing to bring about a solution, nor US nor UK. The EU, UK, and pre-Trump US Government is responsible for this war.
To get off the hook the Western Political elites have re-spun events now to say Russia is just trying to gain more land.
December 17, 2025
Well the British Government are sanguine at the daily killings and attacks and subjugation of the ethnic British on their home soil, so probably JR and the rest of our political class think the Russian Government should have followed suit.
Of course we all KNOW that the EU has no ambition to expand its territory. If you infer such a slander no doubt you will be arrested in fee-speech Britain. It not as if they had named the 12 regions of Russia, and allocated flags, that they hoped to conquer.
Russia, like the native British population, is fighting to survive the relentless onslaught of the old German politics, so antipathetic to both democracy (which includes freedom of thought and speech) and capitalism (which means you can work to support yourself and your family – I.e keep them alive!).
December 17, 2025
Since the IRA, the only form of terrorism we have been experiencing is Islamic terror. We all know of the horrendous incidents which have occurred on the British mainland but also some of the ones the public foiled eg the attempted detonation of a bomb in a maternity hospital in Liverpool and we know almost nothing of the ones the security services and the police have foiled but there will be many.
China had an islamic terror problem too but they overcame it. The reason is since 2014 in particular they incepted ‘strike hard campaigns’ where religious material, phones and computers are monitored, suspects are tracked, the burkha and hijabs are banned in public places, hefty prison sentences are given. Every time they have initiated these ‘strike hard campaigns’ it almost extinguished any incident of Islamic terror. I believe we should be doing the same given we have been attacked for two decades and its getting worse.
In addition we have the Channel illegal migration which are used as trojan horses for Islamic terror and a disdain for Britain. We know that from some of those arrested and also the many incidents of schoolgirls and women being attacked and sexually assaulted.
Britain needs to end Islamic terror like China has almost completely done. Block the boats off the French coast by paying them to deploy military-grade floating sea barriers (eg Halo Guardian); failing that declare a State of Emergency send every illegal migrant to Ascension Island where they can stay in British Army infrastructure and be processed; pay to deport all illegal migrants where there are no returns agreements in place (eg Iran, Afghanistan etc). I guarantee those deterrent measures will stop the boats in just a matter of weeks.
In addition employ Chinese style ‘strike hard campaigns’ and extinguish Islamic terror. Then we will get Britain back to being the safe, peaceful, respected place British politicians are pretending it to be.
I bet none of it ever happens and the terrorism, attacks and sexual assaults will just go on and on.
December 17, 2025
to be fair there was one nail bomb attack against a gay pub, which was done by what was broadly “far right”. but that’s it, one attack. compare and contrast with the vast number of gang rapes, knife attacks, bombings, etc which were from religious extremists, gaza supporters, etc.
December 17, 2025
Not so, there have been numerous Islamic terrorist attacks on the British mainland over the last 20 years for example: Manchester Arena bombing 22 killed and 1,017 injured (mostly young girls to see Ariana Grande); July 7th bombings 52 killed 770 injured; Heaton Park synagogue, London Bridge, Parsons Green, Glasgow airport, Westminster Bridge, Palace of Westminster, Reading, Liverpool Women’s hospital, David Ames, Lee Rigby, Stephen Timms and the list goes on….

it’s not just the PM. the whole British state believes in active discrimination against white working class hetro males, they get far and away the worst schooling, uni entrance results, etc. even if you only have a few of those attributes you are doomed in this country. its visible in politics, in the courts, public sector recruitment and promotion, everywhere.
immigration and crime are out of control, gang rape is routine, evil terrorist support is open and unchallenged.
the enemy is within.
December 17, 2025
I think it has gone further than that, they no longer discriminate between the traditional classes. Apart from the Ruling Class they think all the rest should be subjugated.
December 17, 2025
The best way to prevent violence on our streets is to do what your average indigenous Brit wants – to see uniformed police in helmets patrolling our streets and suburbs on their beats.
The public recognises that a visible police presence on the streets deters crime, particularly burglary. Many want to see police taking drug dealers off the streets, car thieves, shoplifters, mobile phone snatchers etc and being more pro-active to stop knife crime.
Manifestly, this the police do not want to do. They like operating from nice safe control centres using the new facial recognition mass surveillance system, which Labour are about to link to passport and driving licence databases. The Home Office admitted last month that the technology was biased, frequently misidentifying innocent folk going about their lawful business as criminals.
Add this to the mission creep around the ANPR system, which was introduced to track Provo terrorists driving bombs made in Belfast to Canary Wharf. Nowadays ANPR is used to nick folk for parking offences, or inadvertently driving into a junction yellow box.
The police say that if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear. Tell that to the thousands of unfortunates caught up in miscarriages of justice
December 17, 2025
SG
Agreed, we have a whole range of offences for which we have seemingly a robotic state control of crime/detection/prosecution that does not have any human oversight.
Parking, speeding, box junctions, bus lanes, ULEZ and Congestion zones to name but a few.
I see the latest fiasco of speed camera’s not functioning properly on a variable speed limit motorway has come to light after a number of years. The cameras failed to respond quickly enough to the Changes in the actual posted speed limit. Thousands of drivers fined plus points on licence, when they were wrongly convicted of speeding, with the knock on effect of rising insurance premiums and all of the hassle that goes with it. !
December 17, 2025
BA – I thought it was the other way around, in that the cameras where enabled for the new lower limit but the signs were changed 10 seconds or so later, drivers had not been aware of the new lower limit.
December 17, 2025
I’m afraid the days of Dixon of Dock Green have long gone. A sole Police Officer (these days as likely to be a woman as a man) patrolling suburban streets is not going to deter crime or reassure the local population. It would be the equivalent of applying a sticking plaster to a gaping wound and hoping the fatally injured person will be reassured.
The Establishment knows where many of the criminals, religious extremists and potential terrorists are to be found and the identity of a great many of them. They do nothing about it for fear of causing “offence” and potentially triggering a violent backlash.
The policy is appeasement – just as it was with the predominantly ethnic Pakistani Rape Gangs.
December 17, 2025
the lack of visible police presence anywere and the refusal to attend crimes like repeated shoplifting is at the root of distrust in our law and order system. Add to that micromanaging 20 and 30mph speed limits and the ignoring of boy racers everywhere and illegal and unsilenced 2-wheel vehicles tearing about. The lack of prevention of crime of everyday types encourages even more. Then we have escapes and release of criminals and inadequate sentencing when an offender is actually caught, and prosecution succeeds – it doesn’t often.
December 17, 2025
MT
The real problem is that the population has grown by a large percentage since the 1950’s but police numbers, doctors, nurses, hospital beds, prison places, probation officers and the like have not grown by the same percentage, but unfortunately crime has, and certainly what is now “considered” minor crime, like shoplifting, mugging, graffiti, knife carrying, etc has grown by an even greater percentage.
Until all of the above services outlined above are grown to match or exceed that increased percentage in the population, then we will continue to go backwards.
December 17, 2025
Oh the police & doctors numbers are there ….they just don’t leave the office
December 17, 2025
Good point Mickey
December 17, 2025
If police on the beat deter terror, how much more should uniformed soldiers? We saw PC Blakemore beheaded on the Broadwater Farm Estate and Lee Rigby beheaded in the street. We saw another soldier brutally attacked outside his house. Police on the beat deter the natives from petty crime and that is a good thing, but terror is something else.
December 17, 2025
Some causes are more protest worthy according to Sir Two Tier.
Although the Conservatives allowed eco loons a fair amount of latitude too which rolled the pitch for our more fervent protesters using Palestine as a trojan horse.

It started with BLM during the great curfew. It was alright for them to break the curfew and behave in a disorderly way.

There is no distinction to be made between the actions of Russia at distant borders and the actions of Russia in the UK. It is all a part of comprehensive hybrid warfare on Europe in general and the UK in particular, this is not a matter of public opinion it is the opinion of the UK security services who are already fighting this war on a daily basis. Have we already forgotten the Russian nerve agent in Salsbury.
December 17, 2025
@James Morley. I codemn the Salisbury attack, but wasn’t the target Russian dissidents, not the population of Salisbury?
The opinion of our security services is not to be trusted in my view. It’s publicised when they want to manipulate public opinion; objective truth has nothing to do with their pronouncements.
December 17, 2025
The Government should stop adding to the extremism/terrorism threat we already have by stopping all immigration from areas of the world where it is most prevalent:
This would include Afghanistan, Pakistan, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan and various countries in the middle east.
You do not solve a problem by continually adding to it.
December 17, 2025
Obviously they don’t see it as a problem.
December 17, 2025
+1 @Donna. Another policy where Trump leads.
December 17, 2025
The government also needs to realise we are under continuing threat from societal change. The basic principles of live and let live that used to operate is no longer tenable because the practices of those who have come to live among us are often misogynistic with zero regard for women’s rights.
Those who fought hard for equal rights for women in the last century must not be cast aside simply to accommodate the medieval beliefs of those who follow religiously inspired attitudes directly opposite our cultural norms.
The ongoing and increasingly violent cost of accepting different cultures into our previously stable safe homelands, must be debated and openly considered if civilisation has any prospect of continuing into the 22nd century.
The time to filter (for cultural security) who is allowed to come and live among us is long overdue.
Clearly there are many cultures in the world, the vast majority are peaceful and none threatening to Western life and habits. All are welcome within our capacity to accommodate them, the ones who hold destabilising and unacceptable cultural beliefs need to be told they are not welcome.

Problem is that not enough jewish people worldwide have stepped forward to protest the mass killing by Netanyahu of the captive people in Gaza – in fact the opposite is the case. We all agree that Israel has a right to exist but it was built in the wrong place which brings us back to the Balfour Declaration and Britains shameful part played In all of this.
December 17, 2025
Yes apparently God also put Britain in the wrong place, smack in the middle of the caliphate.

When we have a government and PM dedicating hour upon hour of parliamentary time to come up with an Islamaphobia policy/law. It’s pretty simple to see where this governments priorities lie.
December 17, 2025
The priorities of any Government should be the defence of the realm and the upholding of law. These are not mutually exclusive. We potentially have large numbers of people in this country that can be used by bad actors to cause a great deal of damage and disruption – be that “peaceful” protest or not.
Closing the Dartford crossing costs the economy money. Protests in London every weekend requires extra policing and discourages visitors. Spraying paint into a military jet engine is sabotage, plain & simple – whatever the motive.
However none of this should distract from the fact that we are terribly exposed from more direct attack and should be urgently repairing our defenses. Time is short. I’m old enough to remember playing in bombsites in London, something many Ukranian children are now experiencing. Don’t let it happen here again.
December 17, 2025
According to MI5: Over 40,000 individuals were categorized as “closed” cases, meaning they had been investigated in the past and were judged to have some risk of re-engaging in terrorist activity in the future. These individuals are subject to ongoing monitoring and review.
This shows the problem is out of control and indeed can’t be controlled. The Prevent programme would need massive resources to deal with 40,000 cases to prevent even one of those, that’s all it takes, reverting to terrorism. The first step should be to stop more arriving.
December 17, 2025
“the law against incitement to violence” I would suggest that Law is to loose and ill-defined, besides being a ‘crappy’ knee jerk outburst in the first place. It is being used by all types of the Establishment to impose what can only bee seen as personal views and egos on those have a different view to them.
No one can tell another to go out an clobber someone if they don’t want to. The phrase a plague on your house is not asking some one to release a plague. But in this tyrannical State with a politicised judiciary it is being used to dictate and control.
Those that condemn must also ask can this outburst be countered, can the same forum offer an alternative view? Otherwise they become the ones that incite violence, against those whose views they don’t like.
Not only is the terms of the Law wrong, it is being used to impose religious political will on those they just dislike.
Once the juries are removed, the politicised judges will have a field day the prisons just wont be big enough.

‘No-one in a free society should go in fear of their lives because of their religion or ethnicity. People living here from another country are not to be blamed for anything the government of their past country does which they cannot influence.’
Does that include the native British? Because it feels very much as if being fearful because of our religion (Christianity) and our ethnicity (Caucasian) is targeted by a very aggressive force with the backing of the State.
We are concerned that we cannot influence what our media governing class is doing, which included making it unlawful to be afraid when you are told directly by the alien aggressive force that ‘we have to buy our blood, work for them to be allowed to stay alive’.
Can’t you see that the whole European population, in Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Greece etc., is terrified?

It seems we have the laws needed, but our Government and police don’t enforce them against certain groups.
The Palestinian support marches should have been stopped immediately when they chant from the river to the sea or globalise the intifada. Both chants are about destroying Israel and killing Jews.
They still need to be stopped, but it will be harder now.
The PM needs to up defence spending, so we are too strong to attack, and change the Police Service to a Police Force, which enforces the law without fear or favour.

Starmer hands EU £570M a YEAR to rejoin Erasmus scheme. This is equivalent to roughly a fifth of the entire EU funding envelope for Erasmus+. And more than twice the price the Last Government rejected in 2021 as being to expensive.
Were does the money come from… the magic money tree that is the taxpayers bank accounts. yet there is no money for defence and security of the Country.
Sucking up to the EU is the plan so when the money runs out they will let us in on terms we could never afford, job done the plan is working
