News blackout on Old Bailey Starmer arson case.

I’ve stuck within my guidelines- as much as I don’t care for KS, no one deserves to have their property destroyed.
I do hope they receive the maximum sentence.

This case is reported for zbout a third of a page in today's Guardian: hardly a 'news blackout'.

I think people meant it all went very quiet when news first broke about these “male escorts”. It’s out in the open now though as you say.

I think some people were trying to insinuate that the criminals were directly linked to homosexual behaviour with the PM. Dredging the gutter.

No-one was injured, they made sure of that. It was either a token gesture or they were hired for some purpose.

Yes, this story was going the rounds some time ago - last summer? It was all cloaked in secrecy, but the sort of secrecy that is doing its best to make the salacious feel as though they are privy to special information that others won't know about, and can gleefully pass it on. Much use of quotation marks around 'male models' and intimations of dark goings on that would 'shatter any idea of Starmer as a family man'. I follow political channels on YouTube, and the algorithm kept bringing them up on my feed. The blonde woman who is married (?) to Richard Tice seemed obsessed with the 'story', but her broadcasts said absolutely nothing, beyond 'one day this news will break and everyone will be shocked' complete with photos of Victoria Starmer and suggestive comments about why the family keep the children out of the spotlight.

So more gossip than news, and not a cover-up of any kind. If there had been anything to see we would all know it by now, wouldn't we?

Oh really, I didn’t know about that 🤔

Mud sticks once thrown, which is why it gets thrown at public figures whether they deserve it or not.

If you say so, MT62, I respectfully disagree.

So you don’t think what’s going on in the Middle East is more important?
