The Grand Spectacle of Femi: A Tale of Selective Outrage

 Oh, what a glorious tableau unfolded on March 28, 2025, outside Birmingham’s Utilita Arena! There, amid the clamor of Reform UK’s latest jamboree, stood Femi—Remainer royalty, self-styled sentinel of righteousness, and drama aficionado par excellence. With the gusto of a Victorian tragedian, he flung himself into the fray, decrying the supposed thuggery of Reform’s rank-and-file who dared—oh, the audacity!—to jostle him in a public square where mortals mingle freely. The indignity! The outrage! Surely, the Magna Carta itself quaked in its dusty frame.

But let’s dim the spotlight on Femi’s theatrics for a moment and peek at the wider stage. His X post from that fateful day—a breathless lament about Reform’s “goons” and their imagined fascist leanings—casts him as the beleaguered hero in a dystopian farce. Yet, the irony drips like treacle when you consider what he doesn’t rail against. Take Labour’s tightening grip on the digital realm: since taking power in July 2024, they’ve presided over a justice system that’s snared over 3,300 souls between 2019 and 2023 for errant social media scribbles, per Big Brother Watch’s 2024 tally. That’s right—thousands nabbed not for torching villages, but for tweets that someone, somewhere, deemed too cheeky under the Communications Act 2003. Where was Femi’s operatic wail when a Leeds chap got collared in early 2025 for a snarky X jab at immigration? Not a whisper. His silence is louder than a Reform rally PA system.

Now, let’s zoom in on that Birmingham bash. Nigel Farage, Reform’s ringmaster, roared in atop a JCB digger—because nothing screams “everyman” like a £100,000 excavator—kicking off what Sky News dubbed their “most ambitious” local election push yet. Nearly 1,600 council seats are up for grabs on May 1, 2025, and Reform’s gunning for them all, a bold flex for a party that’s only had MPs since last summer. The arena pulsed with live tunes and dazzling lights, though the crowd didn’t quite hit the “biggest rally ever” mark Farage hyped. Still, it was prime turf for Femi to strut his stuff, turning a lukewarm turnout into his personal passion play.

The Reform Party got their goons to physically push me, even when I was outside, in places the public is ALLOWED to be.

Imagine if they had control of the whole country... 😬

Femi’s “journalism” looked more like a poke-the-bear routine, noting his rap sheet of rally bans. And who’d fault Reform for bristling? This is the bloke who once turned a Brexit spat into a tear-soaked viral hit, mourning the EU exit like it was a personal bereavement. Subtlety’s not his bag—he’s all spotlight, all the time.

Here’s where the irony thickens into a proper British pudding. Femi’s X tirade warns of Reform’s dictatorial dreams—“Imagine if they ran the country!”—yet he’s shtum on Labour’s real-time power flexes. The Online Safety Act 2023, now a Labour darling, has morphed into a cudgel for quieting dissent. A February 2025 Institute of Economic Affairs study found 62% of Brits now zip their lips online, spooked by legal or social blowback. Meanwhile, Reform’s tally of “tyranny” amounts to what? A tussle with Femi, some spicy rhetoric, and a penchant for poaching councillors—29 since July 2024, says The Telegraph. Labour’s locking up tweeters; Reform’s just loud. Guess which one gets Femi’s megaphone?

Digging deeper, Labour’s rap sheet grows. Home Office stats from 2024 show 1,200 “hate speech” busts, up 15% from 2023, thanks to tighter rules and a snitch-happy public. Reform’s sins? Farage’s JCB stunts and a 23% polling perch per YouGov’s March 10 data—hardly the stuff of gulags. Yet Femi’s laser-focused on the latter, as if Farage alone threatens the realm.

But wait—there’s a fresh twist in this saga, and it’s a doozy. The Sentencing Council’s new guidelines, effective April 1, 2025, have tongues wagging and keyboards clacking. These rules nudge judges to mull pre-sentence reports for minorities, women, and young’uns under 25, aiming to level a justice system where Black and minority ethnic folks are overrepresented—more likely to be jailed and for longer, per Guardian stats from March 2025. Labour’s Justice Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, cried foul, calling it “differential treatment” that might skew outcomes by race or faith. Critics like Robert Jenrick howl it’s a “two-tier” setup, with white blokes potentially drawing the short straw if their context gets less airtime. 

Perceptions of unequal justice are the talk of the town—or at least the tabloids. A Telegraph piece from March 29, 2025, quotes Labour MP Jonathan Brash slamming the Council as “out of step” with the public, while GB News rants about “leftist bureaucrats” running amok. 

The guidelines don’t say “punish white people more,” but critics argue they indirectly tilt the scales by spotlighting some groups’ hardships over others. 

Labour’s not crowing about this—Starmer’s dodged explicit endorsement, and Mahmood’s threatened to legislate it away. Still, Femi’s not camped out at the Ministry of Justice, decrying this hot-button mess. Nope, he’s too busy shadowboxing Farage’s digger.

This selective spotlight’s a pattern. Remain diehards like Femi have made Reform their punching bag, shrugging at Labour’s heftier baggage like a government locking up dissenters or slashing fuel payments. A Guardian piece from March 22, 2025, flags Runcorn voters ditching Labour for Reform over broken promises—yet Femi’s not there, probing the why. He’s at the rally, where the optics are juicier, the retweets flow freer, and the irony festers: a crusader against control freaks who ignores the ones actually in charge.

Femi’s Birmingham brouhaha is less a noble quest and more a masterclass in missing the bigger picture. Reform might be brash and pushy, but Labour’s the one with the cuffs and the clout. So, next time you’re bumped in a crowd, Femi, maybe aim that righteous roar at the folks who’d jail you for a tweet, not just the ones who steal your spotlight. The drama’s dazzling, but the hypocrisy? That’s the real headliner.
