The guy is a UK citizen who was unjustly jailed in Egypt.

There was multi party support to campaign for his release.

How long ago were these SM posts?

Does he still hold the same views today?

Now Starmer has been caught supporting a terrorist, gleefully.

The relevance of the question is something I'm uncertain about in that timelines can be very subject to personal bias eg If said individual made the comments many years ago we might accept he's learned and changed his views but at the same time I find I'm very ready to treat Farages comments from his childhood as being still very significant and indicative today.

According to the major news outlets, the death of Brigette Bardot at 91, is a bigger story.

I doubt that will stop MAndy frothing at the mouth over Starmer.

I would follow the advice of @briantrumpet and let it shout into the void.

Interesting though.
She’s considered a cultural icon, yet was a homophobe who incited racial hatred.

Must be a skin colour thing I guess.

I was just reading her wikipedia page: I think her animal rights thing was genuine and strong, which I suspect amplified her racism because of her views on halal meat. Her convictions for racism do seem to be based on some pretty uncompromising views.

In her book, Bardot criticized racial mixing, immigration, the role of women in politics, and Islam. The book also contained a section attacking what she called the mixing of genes, and praised previous generations which, she said, had given their lives to push out invaders.[112] On 10 June 2004, Bardot was convicted for a fourth time by a French court for inciting racial hatred and fined €5,000.[113] Bardot denied the racial hatred charge and apologized in court, saying: "I never knowingly wanted to hurt anybody. It is not in my character."[114]

In 2008, Bardot was convicted of inciting racial/religious hatred in regard to a letter she wrote, a copy of which she sent to Nicolas Sarkozy when he was minister of the interior. The letter stated her objections to Muslims in France ritually slaughtering sheep by slitting their throats without anesthetizing them first. She also said, in reference to Muslims, that she was "fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its habits". The trial concluded on 3 June 2008, with a conviction and fine of €15,000.[115] The prosecutor stated she was weary of charging Bardot with offenses related to racial hatred.[111]

A long life can encompass lots of contradictions.

It knows, it doesn't care. Don't respond to it and it gets bored.
