Keir Starmer: Landlord explains why he threw Labour Party leader out of his Bath pub

April 19 2021 during lockdowns

'He has consigned people to death by poverty, unemployment, despair and alcoholism'

The landlord of a Bath pub has explained why he told Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer to "get out" earlier today (Monday, April 19).

Rod Humphris, 54, who runs The Raven in Bath, said he thought the politician had "failed voters".

He met Sir Keir outside the pub on Queen Street and showed him a graph on a piece of paper, which the leader took from him and folded up.

The politician then made to enter the pub, angering the landlord who shouted, "get out of my pub" while being held back by a security guard.

Speaking afterwards, Rod said: "He walked straight past me into the pub. He assumed he was welcome and he wasn't, I was absolutely furious.

"What I was trying to get across was that, in my opinion, he has utterly failed us.

"He has failed to challenge the government. The average age of death from Covid is 82 years and three months. The average age of death normally is 81.

"What that tells us is that, when people get old, they die. The last time deaths were at the same rate, it was 2008, do you remember all of this then? No, because it didn't happen."

Mr Humprhis said he thought the Labour leader should have opposed lockdown, based on the evidence from other places "like Florida" which have not implemented widespread shutdowns.

He said: "Why isn't he asking these questions? He has just sat by and not challenged it.

Landlord of a pub is probably more knowledgeable about alcoholism than most people with doctorates.

Army’s Top Enlisted Leader in Washington, D.C. Fired After Investigation Allegedly “Due to a Loss of Trust and Confidence in Her Leadership”

The Army has fired Command Sgt. Maj. Veronica Knapp, the top enlisted leader responsible for overseeing critical operations across Washington, D.C., from her post.

This dismissal, confirmed last Thursday, is officially attributed to a “loss of trust and confidence in her leadership” following an administrative investigation.

Command Sgt. Maj. Knapp, a 24-year veteran of the Army, had only recently assumed her role in Washington, D.C., in June 2023.

Knapp enlisted in the Army in 2000 and made history as the first woman to serve as the senior enlisted adviser for the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Her career included deployments to critical locations such as Bagram, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Despite her extensive and commendable service record, she was abruptly removed following an administrative investigation. However, the specifics of this investigation have been conspicuously withheld from the public.

Knapp was relieved on Aug. 8 as result of the Army 15-6 investigation “due to a loss of trust and confidence in her leadership,” said Bernhard “Lash” Lashleyleidner, a JTF-NCR/USAMDW spokesman. No further information about exactly why Knapp was relieved or what the investigation found was immediately available. All military branches nearly always use the phrase “loss of confidence” when leaders are relieved rather that specify wide range of reasons from personal off-duty conduct mistakes.

The JTF-NCR/USAMDW’ is a sprawling military organization established after the 9/11 attacks as a central hub for defense and day-to-day military operations around Washington D.C. Its leaders — who are traditionally an Army two-star general as the overall commander and Navy admiral as their deputy — oversee military units from every branch, several installations and civilian defense agencies whose duties range from ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetary to responding to emergencies with military police and technical rescue teams to establishing mobile command posts for major D.C. events or emergencies.

Knapp was the senior enlisted advisor on the JTF-NCR/USAMDW command staff. Sergeant Major Eberhard G. Nordman, the JTF-NCR/USAMDW’s provost marshal, has been named as her acting replacement.

The firing of Knapp marks the second high-profile dismissal of a command sergeant major within the Army in the span of just one month. On July 16th, Command Sgt. Maj. Matthew Carlson of the 173rd Airborne Brigade was similarly removed from his post in Italy, also for the vague reason of “loss of trust and confidence in his leadership,” according to Military.com.

Cyanide leaks into canal as major incident is declared over toxic chemical spillage and locals are warned not to eat the fish

A major incident has been declared following a toxic chemical spillage in a canal in the West Midlands.

Walsall Council said the Environment Agency was testing the canal water for sodium cyanide and other chemicals in the affected area.

The council warned that there is a potential serious health risk to anyone who has had direct physical contact with the water in the impacted stretch of the canal.

The UK Health Security Agency describes sodium cyanide as 'white crystal like solids with a faint almond colour' that is used in industry for metal cleaning, plating, extraction and photography.

Exposure to the chemical can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, confusion, changes in heart rate and loss of consciousness, according to the agency.
