This is what I warned you against. Sir Keir Starmer, I told you, was a hard anti-British Leftist who had so much contempt for us that he did not even try to hide the truth. His past, as a dogma-driven fanatic, lay open to view. You can find it with a few clicks of a mouse.
Yes, people can change, as I am always told. But he has not. He does not deny it. He has openly said he has not changed. You can find that on the web, too.
Just as you can find his detailed plans for destroying what is left of British freedom. With the possible exception of Sir Anthony Blair, we have never had a Prime Minister so openly hostile to our ancient
Parliament. I think Blair was too dim to know what he was doing, though some of his henchmen and henchwomen knew all too well. But Sir Keir is another matter.
And now here he is, announcing his plans to punish us for his failure. He must know how ridiculous it is to say what he is saying.
He cannot control our borders, so he will turn us all into servile, card-carrying ants, scurrying about in his strong state, afraid of the authorities precisely because we have done nothing wrong.
All the really bad people – the gangsters, the drug users, the drug dealers they sustain, the shoplifters, the street rowdies, the unlicensed drivers of stolen cars, the illegal migrants, the black economy moguls – they will carry on regardless.
France, with strict identity card rules, has nearly a million illegal migrants living and working off the grid. Nobody knows the exact numbers because, well, there are no records. On its own logic, Sir Keir Starmer’s scheme does not work
The more of a criminal you are, the more free you will be. The more law-abiding we are, the more enslaved we will be.
We will find that the day comes when we cannot buy any goods, travel any distance, go to the
doctor, get a job or leave a job or change a job, move house, sign up for electricity or gas supply, stay in a hotel, without being mistrusted and insulted. The insult will be cold and passionless, an unceasing assumption that you are not to be trusted and must be checked by officials at every important moment of your life.
The ultimate logic of this is that we should have QR codes, read-able by street cameras, tattooed on our heads for the convenience of authority. The demands for ‘ID’ will never cease. They’ll grow all the time. Everyone from doctors’ receptionists to shopkeepers and bus drivers will be recruited into an enormous Stasi of official snoopers, compelled to demand proof of identity as a matter of routine.
As this country discovered in the Second World War and the imposition of wholly useless identity cards during and after it, regiments of seemingly normal men and women rejoice in the petty power such documents give.

It will be no use refusing to comply. You will just deprive yourself of the services or goods you want.
If you doubt this, look at the absurdity of border crossings.
If you wish to leave or re-enter this country legally, you must obtain an expensive passport, supposedly protected against forgery and impersonation.
You must submit it to stone-faced officials as you come and go, often enduring long waits at ports of entry. But if you wish to come here illegally, you can destroy your passport, pay a criminal, step ashore and disappear (do you really think that all the illegal Channel-crossers are intercepted and recorded? Don’t be silly).
So, allegedly to control this, Sir Keir proposes to punish the innocent and leave the guilty to carry on as before. He is laughing at you.
France, with strict identity card rules, has nearly a million illegal migrants living and working off the grid. Nobody knows the exact numbers because, well, there are no records.
On its own logic, the Starmer scheme does not work. This is no secret. So it must have another real purpose. What can it be?
As for the security of these systems, are we not already plagued weekly by hackers and cyber attacks? Marks & Spencer, Jaguar Land Rover and now the Kido nursery chain are among the latest victims.
Do you really think it is beyond the wit and skills of criminals, or foreign powers, to penetrate these systems?
Not that this will be your main worry. The clearest model of this sort of system is in China, where if the state takes against you, or just mixes you up with someone else, you can swiftly be cut off from almost all the necessities of life.
This will be bad enough if it is intentional. But plenty of us have already discovered how hard it is to get uncontactable businesses or government departments to correct their errors about us.
If you have nothing to hide, you have everything to fear.
Oh, and about those immigrants. Labour never intended to stop them coming. They admitted many years ago that they wanted mass migration, so as to change the country for ever.
This is not about migration. It is about your liberty to live unbothered by interfering officialdom.
Sir Keir and his allies think they are so good they are entitled to snoop into every corner of your life for your own good, and punish you without trial if you do not live as they want you to live.
Whatever you do at the next election, vote against any candidate who wants compulsory identity documents.
Want to stop the boats? Send in our monstrous regiments… of traffic wardens
Out monstrous regiments of traffic wardens, or whatever we must now call them, outnumber the regular solders in our shrunken, politically-corrected Army
The day has at last come when our monstrous regiments of traffic wardens, or whatever we must now call them, outnumber the regular solders in our shrunken, politically corrected Army.
How majestically this force has grown since our first meter maids and meter blokes were deployed in their blue and yellow uniforms and heavy-duty satchels 60-odd years ago.
One day someone will expose the absurdity of the parking industry. But that’s for another time. Let’s just take advantage of the existence of this terrifying force of tough men and women, hardened into fearlessness by years of being insulted.
Deploy them on the south coast to ticket arriving dinghies. Send guerrilla squads across the Channel to clamp dinghies that have not yet left.
Perhaps lend a regiment or two to Ukraine to issue stiff fines to the Russians for illegal drone use.
Who needs an Army, when we have parking under control?
