Matt, your CRUSHING of the leftist apologist on TV was incredible:

Thank you for sharing, excellent clip.

Your first sentence reminds me of the TS Eliot poem ‘this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper’. Well the quiet whimpering of a population which has been intimidated, browbeaten, downtrodden and despairing for too long, needs to be reimagined into a lion’s roar. The first sign that this may yet happen was the fact that Nick Timothy refused to back down or apologise for his wholly correct statement on the Trafalgar Square incident. Some Muslims such as the Muslim Brotherhood fully admit that public prayer is a means of domination, it’s why we see it everywhere now. We need more public figures to educate themselves on Islam. It would give them the confidence to speak clearly from a position of knowledge. And btw, why the outcry? I thought Labour told us that we’d still be able to criticise Islam?

Nick Timothy is a bit of a hero. I think you are correct, people need to understand Islam better. Too many are either complacent or just naive in the extreme. Did you see what happened to the Australian premier when he was out and about trying to schmooz folk in the local mosque? Is what you get when you try to stroke a tiger. And as you say, so much for free speech being unaffected by the new AMH guidelines, straight to condemnation, cancellation and retribution.

Tenaciously Terfin's avatar

Yes I saw that…. entirely predictable. The West is overrun with useful idiots intent on committing suicide. The left needs to learn some history starting with what happened to their forbears in Iran in 1979.

Cass's avatar

Useful idiots is right. They disregard the lessons of history, think they know better and it doesn’t apply to them. Human nature doesn’t change and we are already on the path of wake up to reality or be subsumed.

Tenaciously Terfin's avatar

The perfect example is in the clip at the top. I saw the whole thing last night and that bloke was a complete moron. Matt was great as usual with facts at his fingertips.

Mrs Bucket's avatar

Matt absolutely demolished him and kept hitting him with facts until he was utterly humiliated. This is EXACTLY what needs to be dome with all of these complete idiots, from Westminster and right through the idiot filled, massively over-remunerated comedy BBC.

Iris February's avatar

He could not name one incident of this alleged Far Right Terrorism because there have been none. Just saying it though will make some people believe it to be true.

Cass's avatar

Absolutely! The Left are clueless. They think the World operates as they would like it to, rather than how it actually is. Inconvenient truths are there to be ignored or twisted to fit their playbook. It’s madness!

Harambe's avatar

Actually the Left are not clueless. They very clued up!

That is why they are using mass immigration to reshape the country into the way they want it to be and they are succeeding.

Mrs Bucket's avatar

I think there are two 'Lefts' - the hardened, twisted, self-loathing Communists who want to destroy the west 'so they can rule over the ashes' and then the soft Left/useful idiots who think men can have babies and that all migrants are sweet and cuddly.

Iris February's avatar

That clown on TV arguing with Matt even tried to tell us that all the boat people were fleeing war and persecution. Again failed to name any country he had in mind.

Cass's avatar

Good point Mrs Bucket. The malicious and the preposterous. Very good point.

Ian's avatar

Absolutely right that these public actions are establishing their ownership of these spaces and showing they can do whatever they like with impunity because they are in control now. Very significantly the only places such demonstrations of power do not happen is the countries they already control. 👍

Pamela Watson's avatar

I've been using that T.S. Eliot quote in this context for some time. Glad someone else sees the parallels.

David Silverberg's avatar

It is not the time to cry😢 It is time to roar. To say now we must act. To shed civility, humility and recapture what is yours. Fk the immigrants. Kick all those who refuse to assimilate out. You have a country to save. 🦁

Ian Thurley's avatar

Looking forward to reading the book...I wonder if the early reviews are opponents jumping the gun. However, I also wonder how these views sit with your colleagues in Reform UK , who publicly called you out for daring to suggest that the indigenous people will be "replaced" ?

Your narrative seems to sit far better with Rupert Lowe's views at Restore Britain. I am not convinced that Reform haven't become establishment in the interests of being elected. One hopes they will take a harder line if elected ... But then again I want political parties to stick to their manifesto...

Penelope Beck's avatar

They need to get over it and influence Reform from within. I do think Lowe has a much better grasp of economics and finance than Reform and would be much tougher on migration both legal and illegal which as a country we need. Nigel and Rupert should curb their egos for the sake of the country and Kemi needs to rid her party of the Wets and join up too.

Pamela Watson's avatar

Restore are already attacking Matt for being supposedly a leftie, and not going far enough. Yesterday a prominent supporter of Lowe on this platform claimed Matt Goodwin supported Antifa! What he writes is entirely consistent with Reform's actual policies, as opposed to what some people assume those policies are.

Penelope Beck's avatar

I do wish these two parties would join up rather than snipe at each other from the sidelines. We do not want a split Right. If this happens it will give the Left - Labour, Greens, SDP a chance to join up and win an election through tactical voting. This would be a disaster. Why don’t they recognise this as a danger?

Ian's avatar

That's the big question. I put it down to ego. Lowe (and maybe Habib) simply couldn't do the sensible thing which would be to accept that Farage has the extremely rare golden touch with voters, help him to win the next GE, and then if they're not happy with what he does as PM challenge for the leadership then. The Tories stayed in govt because it took the left so long to realise they had to stop fighting among themselves. It's incredible the anti establishment voices seem like they can't learn from that, especially because 15 years of Labour really would be the end of Britain as we know it. 👍

Iris February's avatar

Another 15 months will probably see the end of us.

Kevin Bennewith's avatar

Farage needs to recognise that he can’t be the only leader of this revolt against the elitists that are committing treason to the indigenous people of the UK. He has to allow others to assist him. Some of the things Farage has done and said have given me cause to question his commitment to this task. Is he playing a double game?

Pamela Watson's avatar

That is just so much bollocks. Rupert and Ben just wanted to be the boss INSTEAD of Nigel. It was never about anything else. And to say that Reform is "all about Farage" is just propaganda by people outside of Reform. Never heard of Zia Yusuf, Darren Grimes, Gawain Towler, David Bull, Andrea Jenkyns, Sarah Pochin, Danny Kruger, Laila Cunningham, Lee Anderson, Matt Goodwin and more?

Reform is about team work. Yes, a team needs a leader and for the moment it's Nigel Farage. Would I like him as a personal friend? Probably not. Not my sort of person. Does he do what he says on the tin politically? Yes. Does he realise that to effect change in this country you have to get into government first? Yes. Does that mean appealing to a broad church so you have a workable majority? Yes. Does that mean that you have to acknowledge that some things that would be wonderful in an ideal world aren't practically possible? Yes.

Lowe & Habib are idealists. They both have some good ideas but many of their policies go just that bit further than the majority are prepared to agree with for practical reasons. Stopping benefits to dual citizens I presume is about stopping Universal Credit for Pakistanis. It also means this Aussie-born immigrant wouldn't get the old age pension I paid into for 20 years. Neither would my Irish born friend. And banning people from being an MP because their grandparents or parents were immigrants smacks of Hitlerian ethnonationalism.

Reform and Farage aren't "soft". They actually have their finger on the pulse of the UK which is just more centrist than you'd like. Restore and Advance, aren't.

Carolyn Le Ponteur's avatar

Agree. Habib came below The Monster Raving Loony Party at the bye election.Let's see how well Restore does.

Kevin Bennewith's avatar

Restore Britain is now a registered political party. It tends to attract younger members of the community, whereas Reform seems to be supported mainly by older people. Some of the things that he has said made me sceptical of Farage. Saying publicly that deportations were not possible. Of course they are, with the right political will and changes to the law. It’s quite possible that some of Restore’s policies are not yet acceptable to the Public. I think they may have similar objectives but not quite the same way to achieve them. Maybe there can be some way of reconciling these parties with Restore taking seats in certain constituencies, and Reform taking the majority. In any event, both leaders need to get together to sort themselves out, and a truce needs to happen, because after reading Matt Goodwin’s book, the UK is in dire need of a complete change to replace the elitists with their suicidal empathy, currently running the country. Otherwise the UK is over.

Ian's avatar

But there can only be one leader of the party. Lowe didn't want to assist him, Lowe wanted to replace him. Lowe is the one who needed to accept there are times when he has to be an assistant, but apparently his ego wouldn't let him do it even though attacking a leader who was (and still is) doing incredibly well in the polls for a new party was doomed to fail and only helps the opposition.

If you look at how much damage Farage has already done to the establishment I really don't see how it can be a double game. Lowe and Habib on the other hand are definitely helping the establishment by splitting the anti-establishment campaign. 👍

Kevin Bennewith's avatar

Ok you could be right but Farage needs to stop equivocating about the need to deport some people.

Carolyn Le Ponteur's avatar

Male egos triumphing over common sense. Maybe a female leader would've more practical.

Ian's avatar

I think it's about one man's ego. Lowe didn't give Farage any choice. I would guess Farage was ok to have private disagreements with Lowe, but when Lowe tried to stage a coup in public Farage had no choice. I put this 100% on Lowe. 👍

Frightening!!

Angela Rayner says the proposes changes to immigration laws are unBritish.

Well Angela, turning our great country into an Islamic Caliphate is also UnBritish.

Our nation's leaders have voted in favour of abortion up to birth.

I say that again: abortion up to birth.

And this by post.

No GP.

No legal consequences.

Our leaders have no morality.

I have written to CharlesIII. I have humbly reminded him of his Coronation oath: to Defend the Faith - The Christian Faith.

Thou shalt not kill.

Any mother can now take lethal pills in their own home and kill their child UP TO BIRTH.

A nation that can allow that, and acquiesce as the law is passed through parliament, is a nation that has lost its soul.

May God in Christ have mercy upon us.

I am still reeling from this. I can’t even process the kind of mind that can conceive a law that allows a mother to kill in cold blood her fully viable child with no sanction whatsoever. I don’t know if it’s because I am a mother, I don’t know if there are justifications I just can’t see, I don’t know if some people have been infected by a sick ideology but how has this happened?

Tenaciously Terfin's avatar

Same Cass, it’s beyond depraved.

Cass's avatar

And they are proud of it. They are proud of what they have done.

Iris February's avatar

I'm not a mother but how is this not murder, when it would be deemed to be just that one minute later?

Cass's avatar

Exactly. In their heads they have drawn a nonsensical division between an unborn child and that exact same child immediately after delivery. It is still the same child but in the first situation its mother is allowed to kill it without consequences, in the second she is not.

Carolyn Le Ponteur's avatar

Good point. The difference between legal murder and illegal murder just a minute apart.

This Government needs to see a psychiatrist...soon

Ian's avatar

You just have to be a decent human being to be appalled by this.

As for "how": sick ideology is right. Thanks to woke ideology women now have more rights (privileges?) than any other group, including unborn babies, which is why women can now legally kill them. If you look at woke responses to domestic violence where men are murdered you'll see woke fanatics are OK with that too. 👍

I've seen the troll reviews on Amazon. I've just left a comment on Winston Marshall's substack about it. The main point is that, as well as the comments insulting Reform voters, there is not a single item of any intellectual or statistical or political depth in any of the reviews - no counter-arguments, solid or otherwise, just people who start with a critical view of Matt's position and then seek to reinforce it, emotionally and verbally, not with any actual information. There is no evidence in any of their "reviews", probably written without reading the book, that any of them have ever had the brains to confront Murray's "Strange Death of Europe" or the ethnic breakdown of crime statistics, or the immigration statistics since only 2020, let alone earlier. They know nothing, except their emotional reactions and political prejudices, and try to make out that they're the "good guys". They will be like people in Europe in 1940, suddenly being invaded left right and centre, who look around, all puzzled, and say "But what's happened to our country? How did that happen?" And they think they can accuse Reform supporters of stupidity, when their own blindness, deafness and ignorance is in plain sight for all to see.

John Birch's avatar

Amazon have told me that my review of the book doesn’t meet their guidelines.

-

There are some very suspicious reviews on here. Obviously this book is causing concern in certain areas and they don’t like it.

The situation is worrying the majority of the population, multiculturalism has been a disaster and it’s pretty obvious to most people the establishment have got no idea of what to do other than two tier policing, turning a blind eye and denying the truth.

This book is designed to open the conversation about the problems and what can potentially happen to our society if we don’t act quickly.

Every day the problem gets worse as more boats arrive and taxpayers are expected to just keep paying whatever it takes to keep this pantomime going.

-

Frankly I’m not sure what they want me to edit out.

Ian's avatar

I'd love to see your review if you could copy and paste it here. I'm planning to post my own review so it would be useful. 👍

John Birch's avatar

The review is in front of you

Ian's avatar

OK, thanks. I'll keep this in mind when I do mine. I agree with everything you say but Amazon might think there's too much of your own personal opinion rather than the book, e.g. sentence 2 and 4 are statements of your own opinion but they might be accepted if they started in a similar way to sentence 3. You could also try to make it less judgemental, e.g. instead of saying multiculturalism has been a disaster you could say something like "the book reveals all the ways multiculturalism has affected Britain, including those that do not normally get covered in the mainstream media". Similarly with the last sentence instead of saying things are getting worse, try "the book extrapolates the data to show what is likely to happen if we continue on this course." People will know exactly what you mean even though the language is pretty neutral and therefore harder to justify banning. 👍

John Birch's avatar

Absolutely correct. But that’s the point.

You can’t say what you think.

You have to say what is seen as acceptable.

I can assure you I knew what they didn’t like.

I’ve written many reviews for amazon and this is the first one where I can’t tell the truth.

And that’s exactly the problem with the entire country today.

Carolyn Le Ponteur's avatar

Amazon biassed against Matt? Surely not.....

Christine's avatar

If that’s just an excerpt , I can’t wait to read the whole book, especially as you give us some hope! Just wish the book would arrive, I keep looking out for the postman 🙏

Christine's avatar

Still haven’t received the book, anyone else still waiting?

Laura Stewart's avatar

I find it highly interesting the split of reviews no 2,3 or 4, I find it hard to believe the 1 starts have either read the book or possess an ounce of common sense. How have the read it so quickly? I pre-ordered and haven't got it yet? Are they reviewing the book, or Matt?

Andrew G's avatar

I’m pleased you think there’s still hope. I’m not so sure and I’m lucky enough to live in rural Wales. My signed copy is on the way.

Alan's avatar

You are 100% correct Matt. We should all be fearful of the direction of travel and certainly those of us who have young children or even if they are now young adults should worry about their future prospects. But my biggest fear is collective apathy of the British people and whether they do really care enough about what is happening to their country. The changes you outline are now so visible and every day their are more examples yet the polls showing voting intentions do not really reflect any real concern or worry. Yes Reform are in the lead but not significantly given they are the only Party who are prepared to tackle many of the issues you highlight. And there is no guarantee they will be successful and most likely will not be unless they have an overwhelming mandate. At the present time I just don't see them getting this which brings me back to my original point - do the British people as a whole really care or is the war already lost?

And while I do not have evidence I believe there is a sinister undertone at play which is not really understood. You often refer to the elites and reference the usual suspects. And I agree with you but who is really pulling the strings. With money comes power and it seems to me the real enemies are the money men, the globalists, the increasing numbers of billionaires who are making fortunes from the chaos and decline (just look at the net zero scam). Their hold and influence on the elites, whether they be politicians, public institutions or any of the usual suspects should not be underestimated.

Penelope Beck's avatar

Also what about the money coming quietly from Qatar funding the building of all these new mosques that are completely unnecessary. It is going on on the sidelines without our noticing. It is a sign of the growing influence of the M population that needs to be halted and reversed.

Ian's avatar

Your last paragraph reminds me of an exchange I heard a while ago: someone accusingly said "the Tories have been in power for 14 years!" to which someone replied "no, they've been in *government* for 14 years. The left have been in *power* for decades." I think the driver for those who are really in power is ideological. The fact they're also rich helps them to push their ideology although I'm not sure getting rich is the primary aim. Which is not to say there aren't also other people who do simply want to get rich by cashing in on the situation. 👍

"Who said I'm an anti migration party, I said the opposite" ~ Farage

Evola's Sunglasses's avatar

Reform are a recycling bin for failed Torys and have completely lost their populist energy to the Greens and possibly now Restore.

Jonathan Ward's avatar

As ever no detailed solution offered but, for me, the only one I can see is voting Reform. Even Farage is exhibiting signs of wetness and socialism. We will definitively lose our country if we do not act: we must repatriate all illegal immigrants; they are non genuine anyway having passed through a safe country to get here. They are economic immigrants, not genuine asylum seekers who are in danger. We must de-ghettoise the Muslims who have started special pleading for themselves and formed self governing groups and make claiming British citizenship subject to real tests and only to those who make a positive contribution. There will have to be retrospective legislation.

Ian's avatar

I hope Farage is just toning the message down to appeal to "wet" voters.

Since the left weaponised the word "colonialism" I always use that word to describe what is happening in Britain today. They're not "ghettos", they're colonies, and just like it was ok for other countries to resent British colonialism it's equally ok for British people to resent Islamic colonialism. Maybe putting it like this will wake up the "wet" vote a bit more. 👍

Evola's Sunglasses's avatar

It's Remigration or balkanization.

Pick one.

In group preference is completely normal around the World. Mankind is tribal. White people are finding this out the hard way.

Iris February's avatar

In the UK it is accepted as normal for every group except the English, Scots, Welsh and Ulstermen.

Ian Wray's avatar

When I went onto Amazon and searched for the book, it did not appear. I did get onto it by searching via Google. There also appears to be a deliberate effort by many trolls to discredit the book with their nasty one star pseudo-reviews.

Ian's avatar

I had the same issue. Maybe Amazon don't show items that are out of stock. Icyi the kindle version is now available for £4.99. 👍

Ian Wray's avatar

Thanks for mentioning that. I have now bought the kindle version.

David Asquith's avatar

Great stuff. When will my signed copy arrive?

Trevor Parsons's avatar

This is probably the best outline account I have seen of our situation. But like some others here my worry is that so many of our people seem not to want even to think about, let alone face, these problems. They just close their minds to anything that might challenge their naive beliefs or make them anxious and less comfortable.

Matt can probably make the best possible case for action in place of complacency. But seeing the numbers now turning to the Greens makes me seriously wonder about what good sense there is left for him to appeal to.
