The very curious case of the Ukrainian male models and the arson attack on Starmer’s previous home and car is currently being held at the Old Bailey.

You would think it was a newsworthy case, why would three Ukrainian models torch property and vehicles belonging to the Prime Minister and how did they know where to go?

I would not trust George Galloway to take the dog out if he was already outside.

And anyone who gets their news from X needs to give their head a wobble.

I don’t do X but it’s everywhere else.

We all know it will all be a whitewash.

I suspect it is related to a case that Starmer dealt with in 2003 as a barrister, representing asylum seekers.

It can’t be found as it has been blocked.

If that’s all it is, why has it been blocked?
Another case in the same court has been reported about, ‘apparently’!
All very strange!

If it had have been about a case in 2003, would that have not made this lads about five at the time? 😂

Well we don’t know do we! That is the point.

What do you mean Primrose53, are you saying that the judge and jury are corrupt?

I have no idea , and it is only a guess on my part, because the case involved Ukrainian male models.

The alleged attacks were last year.

Two of the men appeared via video link at the Old Bailey from HMP Belmarsh last October.

No blackout, just nothing to see here at the moment!

Whitewavemark2 Wed 29-Apr-26 11:33:22

So what is this thread about then?

This for information. AI

Blocks on reporting court cases involving a UK Prime Minister typically occur to protect national security, prevent prejudice in active proceedings (contempt of court), or safeguard the administration of justice. Such restrictions ensure a fair trial, protect witness identities, or prevent public disclosure of sensitive information, rather than specifically protecting the Prime Minister.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 29-Apr-26 11:34:24

If there is blocking, my guess would be state security.

I expect it all be Starmer’s fault, I expect the judge and jury will be corrupt and cover up all his wrong doings.

It’s like some of you simply cannot wait for more of what you call “sleaze” to surround our current PM, who by all accounts is the most hated PM since time began and can never ever get anything right.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 29-Apr-26 11:45:20

And of course there is the small matter of an independent judicial system.

Errrr sadly for some of you, our PM is not on trial, so why should there be an issue?

Well the same can be said of you labour supporters getting your claws into other party leaders- if the shoe is on the other foot so to speak, you would have plenty to harp on about.

MT62 Wed 29-Apr-26 11:57:52

Tbh, there are more pressing issues going on in the world than this 🙄

Cossy Wed 29-Apr-26 11:59:08

If you say so, MT62, I respectfully disagree.

I think the majority of us, whoever we support politically are mature enough to differentiate between judicial and political issues actually.

Maybe not you Cossy but there has been plenty of nasty comments on other party leaders over the years.

I don’t care for Labour or KS, but no one deserves to have their homes, or belongings destroyed whatever the circumstances.
