So… all the government of the countries of Europe are going to form an alliance… against the native populations?

Reuters:

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed concern at the growing threat from far-right groups in the United Kingdom and called on progressive political parties across Europe to work together to deal with the shared challenge.

Britain was hit by anti-immigrant riots earlier this month after a deadly knife attack on a children’s dance class was followed by false claims, amplified by people on the far right, that the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker.

Speaking on Wednesday on a visit to Germany, where the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany has reported a surge in membership, Starmer said populism would be defeated by making people feel better off and promised that life in Britain would improve before the end of his first term in power.

“We should be alive in the UK to the challenge of the far right and populism and nationalism,” he told reporters. “There are a number of reasons for my concern, partly what’s happening in the UK, partly what you can see happening in other European countries, including in France and in Germany.”

Starmer’s centre-left Labour Party won a landslide election victory in early July, in contrast to recent gains by the far right in Europe. But the anti-immigration riots have already created his first major crisis.

…

Starmer pledged to tackle the far-right and the “snake oil of populism and nationalism,” saying he would be honest about the country’s problems and how to solve them.

Is it really snake oil though, Keir?

Because I don’t remember white people doing these stabbings like this.

But maybe believing that getting stabbed is bad is a delusion?

Maybe we need to accept that it is good to get stabbed?
