For those who have been paying attention, for the past several days the U.K. political discussion has centered around major political embarrassment for Prime Minister Keir Starmer following the very public resignation of most of the British defense cabinet members, including the Minister of Defense.
The cited reason for the chaos is Starmer’s unwillingness to support or fund the U.K military, leaving their resources in a critical state of depletion. Starmer has delivered grand prose to NATO about leading military operations in Ukraine, the Arctic Circle and the Strait of Hormuz. However, in reality they have few working ships, only one working carrier, no training equipment and they have to shout “BANG” during military exercises because they don’t have the money for blank ammunition in their weapons. The state of the U.K. military is now a well-known embarrassment.
Following the resignation of almost all the British military leadership, Starmer was facing serious political ridicule. Then, last night, in what can only be honestly described as a transparent political optic, Starmer staged the seizing of a “Russian shadow fleet” oil tanker, which he bragged about on the X platform – complete with cinematography to showcase the boldness of the operation.
You really have to see the video Prime Minister Starmer organized [shared below] to promote his display of strength against the horrible Russians. [It is presumed the designation of “shadow fleet” comes from the lack of London insurance on the vessel itself.]
Viewers will note the ¹cinematography of the video release, the lighting and the staged nature of the camera recording within the imagery. Notice how the ‘marines’ sent the cameraman down the steps first, to capture the lead special operator as he descended the stairs. 😂 Notice also the lighting and use of night vision goggles to enhance the dramatic visual. 🙄 Then there’s the dramatically pre-opened doors, and the mysterious way the camera man is inside the room before the special forces arrive 🤣. The only thing missing is the background music “ride of the Valkyries” as the Royal Marines carry out the mission.
Honestly folks, I’ve been laughing all night… This is too much:

¹It is not lost on me how the British previously used fake inflatable tanks to fool the Germans in World War II. Wash-Rinse-Repeat for domestic consumption. lol
One of the most ridiculous moments was when Royal Marines darted into two dark corners of the ship’s hold, presumably to clear the area in case of ambush, but a cameraman was already there waiting to film them!
99% of social media is propaganda. Political. Commercial. Personal. All propaganda. I have gotten down to reading only three or four feeds with Sundance being one of them.
Wanker.
Wow. The days of props are over but if they are down to sound affects, that is bad, bad, bad, bad.
Guess who they will call to cover their 6. I hope the President has taken the phone off the hook.
These guys were much better in Afghan ops w/o the highly paid and overrated cameraman.
He would have been a great test dummy for every trigger wire explosion in close quarter fighting. Just saying.
Starmer is a clown not a funny one but rather a buffoon.
All I see is a very light boarding party storming about in front of a camera in the passage ways of some unknown ship. Could be a soundstage. Large case of “trust me bro”.
Interesting observation
What ever happened to that fake office sound stage Biden’s puppet masters used for him to make his well rehearsed impromptu speeches?

Herr Keir Starmer – ” I’m a Chicken Hawk ” ( for levity )
The chicken hawk reminds me of Iran at the moment.
It’s really astonishing the muslim hordes that already invaded don’t just fully take over.
What makes you think the haven’t?
The subject is the recent defense readiness report in the U.K.
Besides being the successful billionaire author of the Harry Potter and Cormoran Strike books, Rowling has also been a brave, and sometime lone, voice for the women of Scotland who did not want to share dressing rooms and lavatories with biological men.
She dared the government to come and arrest her for “hate speech” for her tweets.
She’s like the little kid in the “Emperor’s New Clothes” who speaks the truth when everyone else knows it but is afraid to say it.
Seems like more than 1 emperor has no clothes.
What amazed me about this is that it was a BBC reporter doing the grilling, and an excellent grilling at that. If the establishment media starts talking about the damage that Starmer has done to defense, the economy and individual freedom, there could be more than Starmer’s career that goes down in flames.
The plan is to begin the hiring process to hire someone to read the plan, and then shortly thereafter, they will brief this fellow on what is in the plan.
Wow I’m speechless
Then just give us “off the cuff” remarks.
Interesting that they had to come all the way back to their own coastline to “find” a choke point they could monitor and regulate.
The sound of their boots on the metal steps made a message-appropriate CLUNK.
Are we sure that wasn’t a pirate radio ship they boarded? “On the deck! You’ve broadcast your last bloody Tchaikovsky!”
Serious question, Sundance:
What if they’d boarded a ship that was insured by the US? What, in terms of maritime law, and in terms of state provocation?
The whole Starmer affair is quite sickening.
Production quality to rival NASA lunar landing. /s.
The British are coming the British are coming…
It looked fake… Where are the Russians?
The really funny albeit sad part is that they told us Russia invaded Ukraine and a lot of people believed it the same way they believed the fake covid pandemic and some even believed the part about 81 million votes. lol
Remember when Tucker Carlson got exclusive access to a Putin interview…. LMAO!! and then you thought it wasnt staged! hahaha!. Now thats funny.
Starmer’s UK can’t float a rubber ducky in a bathtub.
