"I Find Myself Mourning. I Find Myself in Grief for What We Had, Which Was Actually Beautiful." I speak with Rod Humphris, the man who kicked Keir Starmer out of his pub, about what Britain has lost, and whether it can ever be rebuilt.

  • Summary

  • In April of 2021, then-Labour-leader Keir Starmer visited the city of Bath on one of those visits where politicians walk around a place and pretend to care about the people who live there.

    He wasn’t prepared for what Bath resident, and proprietor of The Raven Pub, Rod Humphris, had to tell him. Humphris gave Starmer a piece of his mind about the destructive and authoritarian lockdowns, and then when the Labour leader tried to take refuge in the pub Humphris owned, he threw him out.

    The whole thing is beautiful, and you can see video of it below.

    I say we need a lot more people like Rod Humphris. But Humphris doesn’t think that will be enough to address the depth of what has been destroyed, nor the overwhelming power that the government of Britain has over the people who live there.

    What will it take? Humphris shares his thoughts in this interview.

    The Raven Pub can be found here.

    Rod Humphris' fiction books can be found here.

    As he mentioned, he is looking for a literary agent who might be friendlier to his perspective than most in the industry. If anyone has any promising leads in this direction, please get in touch with Rod, via The Raven’s website.
