How does someone like Keir Starmer receive a knighthood?

[pusspuss9]

I can't help wondering how Keir Starmer ever got to be made a sir? I always thought sirs were people who had done something special?

the only way to stop the illegals, is to remove the incentives to come here: everywhere in Europe gives illegals nothing. No house, no healthcare, no schools, no benefit money, no pension. In fact, everywhere else in Europe, illegals are homeless & get violence from police so they understand they are not welcome in the country.

everywhere in Europe they process the asylum app quickly, & 95% are refused.

In the Uk, the illegal goes through years of tax payer funded appeals. All the time whilst waiting they receive benefits, free council home, gym, driving lessons, even money to go back home to visit relatives.

Guess what? In the Uk, the asylum application 92% approved.

Why does the rest of the EU reject asylum seekers by 95% and we approve asylum by 92%?

Only in the UK, does the UK put illegals above British people.

Axel Rudakabana was born in the UK, so nothing to sign off there, and his parents are naturalised citizens.

Last I heard, parents were not responsible for the crimes of their children.

You're producing so much froth you could serve my entire town with free cappucinos.

You're going to need to produce some evidence to back up those statements, dearie.

You think it would have been better for his parents to disrupt his education by pulling him out halfway through his secondary years and move him to a new school?

His experience is pretty similar to mine. I was at a direct grant school, an independent school taking a large number of children from state primary schools who passed the entrance exam with high marks. Some of us got 100% scholarships and others were there on means-tested fees, usually very low. The direct grant was abolished by the Labour government while I was there and the scholarships and means testing stopped for the year groups entering three or four years behind me. The government continued to fund those us who got in under the direct grant arrangements until we finished sixth form.

Reigate Grammar School was a grammar school in the state system which chose to revert to being independent rather than become a comprehensive, so the year groups a few years below KS were fee-paying pupils. The grammar school entrants were also able to stay on without paying any fees until they completed sixth form.

Google is your friend. Statistics based on government own figures.

It will come from Facebook.

Pre 1987, grades were set by fixed amounts eg top 10% got an A, next 15% got a B or whatever.

Starmer left school in 1982 - can’t find the numbers for that year but in 1981, 15.7% of all the relevant aged population got one or more A level pass.

so whatever other posters got back in the day, BBC were pretty decent results in 1982 on a population level.

That isn't how it works. That which is stated without evidence may be dismissed without evidence - and you stated. Hitchens' Razor.

Jimmy Saville BS again?

The CPS said: "There is no reference within the report to any involvement from the DPP in the decision-making in the case. The reviewing lawyer at the time set out their own reasons for the decisions they took, which are reproduced in the report."

Reality Check spoke to Nazir Afzal who was Chief Crown Prosecutor in the CPS for North West England from 2011-15.

We asked him whether - as DPP - Keir Starmer would have known about the decision not to prosecute Savile.
He said: "None of that would have been escalated beyond the south-east and Keir wasn't aware of it."
"At that time we were dealing [with] 900,000 prosecutions a year," he added.

What part of her post was a lie?

None of it. But this poster just isn't very eponymous.

👏

Peter Mandelson nominated Kier Starmer. You know, the Prince of Darkness. Has his fingers in many pots of influence.

So you don't know what the criteria are, have decided that because you can't be arsed to find out that it may be questionable enough to call the whole practice into question.

That's quite a reach

Or a special act of parliament about his pension.https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/2588/contents/made

Could you cite a source for this? Google isn’t giving one.

also, could you cite a source demonstrating why you thought PP was lying re Axel Rudakabana?

Set by the Conservative government at the time.

What has he lied about?

You are just spewing lies.

Also, it is customary for DPP to be awarded a knighthood. Nothing to do with Mandelson. Starmer's knighthood was awarded by Cameron.

The UN are investigating Starmer and Lord Hermer for possibly infringing Chagossian human rights. It's in today's Telegraph.

Good man doing a good job in the current situation imo. Is this about not having charisma or personality - were we more satisfied with the behaviour of any of the last 5 PM’s who didn’t exactly cover themselves with glory?

The act of Parliament exempted his pension as DPP from the lifetime limit. (The Tories abolished the lifetime limit for everyone in the Sunak/Hunt era)

It followed precedent set for other DPPs and I believe for other high earning public sector folks (Judges? NHS Consultants? - I will google tomorrow)

This is the situation. Not quite as you put it.

The United Nations is reviewing whether Sir Keir Starmer’s Chagos Islands deal breaches international human rights laws in a move that could jeopardise it.

Officials are assessing allegations that the Prime Minister is committing a “crime against humanity” for attempting to evict native Chagossians from the archipelago as part of his plans to cede the British territory to Mauritius.

Yes because it’s definitely Keir Starmer’s knighthood which calls it all into question, and not Jimmy Savile or anyone else. Although with Jimmy Savile not being very well known I suppose you might not have thought about him. Oh hang on…
