by Selwyn Duke, The New American:
Philosopher C.S. Lewis once noted that it’s what slips from our mouths when we’re not thinking that reveals our hearts. This could come to mind with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s claim that those demanding an inquiry into child-abusing rape gangs are jumping “on a bandwagon of the far Right.”
Delivered at a Monday press conference, Starmer’s comments were in response to a firestorm of criticism ignited by entrepreneur Elon Musk. Musk had resurrected the rape-gang story via his X social-media platform mere days ago, as I reported this weekend.

The prime minister’s efforts at flipping the script appear to have backfired, however. That is, many critics say that implicit in his remarks is that child sex abuse is just a right-wing concern. History may inform that he’s not all wrong about that, either (more on this later). Also notable here is that this controversy is shaping up to be a classic Establishment/anti-Establishment conflict.
Battle Lines Are Drawn
For brief background, note the issue here: Muslim “rape gangs” had (have?) abused many thousands of British girls for decades. Just as damnably, British authorities have often covered this up in deference to political correctness. In fact, they sometimes put the onus on the white victims rather than blaming the (generally) Pakistani-descent perpetrators. (The New American reported on this a decade ago already, such as here and here.)
And now, with this story finally getting the attention it deserves, the Establishment empire strikes back. (Starmer’s comments are below.)
What an insane thing to say!
The real reason is that it would show how Starmer repeatedly ignored the pleas of vast numbers of little girls and their parents, in order to secure political support.
Starmer is utterly despicable. https://t.co/AsvDQ4q5af

But the prime minister may wish he could go back in time and have a redo. After all, he has only dug his hole deeper, with many prominent figures lining up alongside Musk. Just consider comments made (below) by Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage.
