We have imported ‘alien cultures’ into this once law abiding, tolerant, fair and trusting society. And all our snivelling cowards of leaders can do is lie, gaslight, deflect, sneer and stick their heads in their diverse and multicultural sand. All Hilary Benn could do yesterday in parliament was to call an MP out on his use of the term alien cultures. Never mind what had happened. Let’s not discuss what we can all see. Let’s just all be happy clappy in infantile pretend land like a bunch of toddlers on CBBC. And anyone who wants to discuss the issues is just a far right thug who should be locked up. Keep putting a lid on the pressure cooker and one day it will blow.
Makerfield should be an easy and decisive WIN for Reform, if only half of what's been happening to Britain in recent years is laid out clearly to the voters there. But I'm not confident of that win because Reform seniors spend most of their time preaching to the already enlightened, which is of course safer and easier.
Ah, if only I could answer that without suggesting something potentially leading to an even worse situation, starting with me getting arrested. If this current leadership doesn't even know the difference between truth and lies, they will hardly start demonstrating character or humility in preference to desperation to clinging on to the rags of what remaining power they have. Anyway, how oblivious are millions of people? I can't even get people to stop trusting the BBC, no matter how many ideological and prejudiced and anti-semitic cowpats the BBC step into. (They wouldn't be openly anti-semitic of course, they have to have far too much of a "virtuous" appearance for that, they just have to be prepared to blame Israel for the last time an Arab caught a cold or the last time somebody ripped their clothes on a passing nail. I mean, how dare they "exchange missiles with", i.e. respond to an attack from, Palestine or Hezbollah or Iran?)
Not my own words, but I share them here to help clear the cataracts of those who are still blind to the truth:
A culture that no longer accepts the need for sacrifice in the cause of a "just war" is a culture that has no future. That’s the desperate situation now in Britain and Western Europe. In the distant past Islam expanded through conquests, massacres, forced conversions, and population expulsions; the most effective way now is legally, through demography and democracy, or in one word: Immigration.
The host countries, which are, in effect, the targets of this “conquest,” facilitate it in their own way by granting entry visas, citizenship, and family reunification permits, as well as housing and other financial support for immigrants at the host taxpayer’s expense.
All of these, alongside economic rights that even local citizens sometimes do not even receive, encourage Muslim immigration to Western countries, especially by their youth, and have catalysed the expansion of the phenomenon over the past twenty years.
Muslim immigrants, once settled in Western countries, demand many rights such as building mosques and schools, halal food, and more, and anyone who does not accede to these demands is labeled Islamophobic or anti-Islam.
More often than not, Western countries grant all these rights to Muslims, yet the latter’s ultimate loyalty is to their religious laws rather than to the host state. Moreover, once those immigrants become full citizens, they rebel against the very countries that opened their doors and demand the implementation of Islamic laws.
The takeover of the West happens gradually, first by strengthening communities, and it reaches its peak when, on Muslim holidays, immigrants refuse to pray in mosques and instead pray on main roads, in squares and parks to demonstrate strength and power. We are witnessing an increasing number of such events, and this phenomenon has recently become noticeable near churches as well.
Muslim communities in Western countries - mainly in Britain, France, and Germany - are thriving, as are those in large parts of the U.S. and Canada, where rapid demographic growth and noticeable social change are occurring, alongside the expansion of mosques, charities, and cultural visibility. Consistently, the Islamic character is taking over the Christian one.
When there is a high concentration of Muslims, demands soon arise to change rules for their sake - for example, to ban the sale of pork or alcohol, to demand designated housing for Muslims, and more.
Western European states that absorbed immigrants in large numbers suffer from many problems of personal security, church burnings, and severe crime. The character of those states has changed, and the process of Islamisation is evident.
The belief once held by Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel - that Syrian immigrants would serve as cheap labour - has collapsed after it became clear that most of them do not work but instead rely on State Welfare, not to mention those who commit crimes. The massive Syrian immigration changed the face of Germany and of all Europe - mass prayers in the streets, blocked roads on holidays, Arabic signs, women afraid to go out in the evenings and at night, and more.
Many European countries have pursued a multiculturalism policy, and today it can be declared that this policy has failed. Many Europeans testify that they do not feel safe, and the Muslim majority is slowly taking over as the number of immigrants in cities like Paris, Malmö, Marseille, Bradford, Luton, Blackburn, Birmingham, London, Brussels, and others rises dramatically.
Where will all this lead? What kind of country will Europeans leave for their grandchildren? This question is particularly pertinent because countries that did not adopt open immigration policies - such as Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic - continue to maintain a Christian character and a high level of personal security.
And if you raise your voice against this stuff you are a thug , a racist and obviously far right ! This gang certainly not gonna do anything about this !
Don’t know what to say. I would never have believed this a few years ago. But it is real. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Too many of our own people have their heads in the sand. And the media is complicit. I noticed how you are not allowed to comment on the latest outrage on MSM forums running the story. It is the Soviet Union. And the words I type or anyone types are not enough. I wish the country would rise up, but it seems they don’t have the guts or the stomach. I struggle to see a political solution when government and establishment are so entrenched. I now feel my country is no longer my home.
Exactly. Once you see it you can’t unsee it. It sits heavy with you like a chain round your neck and hangs over you like a persistent dark cloud. An unshakable gloom.
I’m still amazed by how many don’t…. Those who are intelligent and sensible, just can’t see the patterns or issues - big and small. Although a little envious, at least they’re happy in their ignorance.
On the button as ever,Matt. The violence in NI in response to the attempted beheading is truly shocking but in all honesty, to use your expression, what did anyone expect? As they say you reap what you sow.
The violence is not shocking. When people’s voices are not heard, when democracy is subverted and abused, what are people to do? Personally, and I am sorry if anyone doesn’t like it, I wish the whole of our nation would rise up. Take back control. The authorities are incapable of doing so.
I totally agree David, the violence is only to be expected when you are ignored if you protest peacefully. However the protests in Southampton I think were fuelled by the police wielding riot shields. Would they have used them in a pro Gaza march? I think not. Two tier policing is so obvious the government must think we are stupid.
Thanks Matt for your talk highlighting this in Shifnal last night. I find it more than ironic that 250 years ago some colonists in Americas decided in their terms that England had lost sight of their liberties and that it was up to them as disciples of the enlightenment especially the writings of John Locke that we are being reminded of this by political leaders in the US and the setting up of a portal so that people can browse web sites freely and that VPN's are proliferating in the UK to read news.
I still don't think that people have reached the stage that Kipling set out and most people know from the poem Norman and Saxon
"The Saxon is not like us Normans. His manners are not so polite.
But he never means anything serious till he talks about justice and right.
When he stands like an ox in the furrow – with his sullen set eyes on your own,
And grumbles, 'This isn't fair dealing,' my son, leave the Saxon alone.
"You can horsewhip your Gascony archers, or torture your Picardy spears;
But don't try that game on the Saxon; you'll have the whole brood round your ears.
From the richest old Thane in the county to the poorest chained serf in the field,
They'll be at you and on you like hornets, and, if you are wise, you will yield."
However I wonder if Farage was thinking about another Kipling poem called The Beginnings which says the Saxon is quiet and restrained until anger has built up: “They were not easily moved, / They were icy — willing to wait ... / When the Saxon began to hate.”
I think the anarcho tyranny you set out is pushing people closer to the edge, though whether they are willing to actually do anything but grumble remains to be seen and joining parties like reform and going out canvassing etc or think that their membership subs is enough for the fight.
Thanks for the references, helpful, and yes was good to be there last night. Perhaps the biggest obstacle today is not the state but a creeping sense of apathy.
In other words, the state representatives are complicit and must be held accountable for the crimes that they have facilitated. Do not let past MPs and civil servants retire elsewhere on golden pensions; add a manifesto pledge to prosecute them.
Wonderful piece Matt, it sums up the hideous state of Britain today, where nothing works, and everyone expects the State to pay for everything, while simultaneously refusing to work and contribute themselves. This situation is, on a larger scale, a reflection of what happens to everyone, every day; some people are naturally industrious and hard-working, while others are lazy. The problem is that in order to combat the lazy people, those who work harder are forced to work even harder, and this simply results in the lazy ones doing even less, safe in the knowledge that the grafters will always shoulder the burden. Orwell described this so well in 'Animal Farm' and it is utterly typical behaviour in a Socialist system; unfortunately, for the Government, the industrious have been pushed to breaking point and are downing tools.
I experienced a great example of this while on an inter-city train recently. The ticket inspector told passengers, over the intercom, three times, that he was coming through the train to inspect tickets, but when he reached my car a group of black men had no tickets and refused to buy any. The Inspector handled it admirably, remaining calm and helpful, but faced with aggression he retreated, telling them that the police would meet the train. I was expecting a showdown, but no police appeared and thus the criminals got off Scot-free, and were probably regulars at fare evasion. Thus, they travelled free, while the rest of us paid THEIR fare for them. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Follow this logic - if all passengers refuse to pay for a ticket, then there will be no rail travel, the train companies are not charities.
Britain is lost in a morass of Socialist nonsense, where everyone is a victim and nobody takes responsibility for anything; we are going to need a dose of harsh reality and a movement back to a harsher society where one takes responsibility for one's actions and where above all else, hard work is rewarded. In other words, if you wish to get on, then get off your backside and work for it.
The Fabian playbook is described perfectly in the first half-sentence of your final paragraph. More voters need to be made aware of exactly what this country is being lead into. With Andy Burnham we will have more of the same. The unease gets stronger, verging on outright fear for the future of the UK.
Spot on Matt. The government will spend any amount to police the citizens rather than fix the problem because it has gone too far for them to admit they caused the problem. I don’t want to see violence but we should not be surprised when people are pushed to the brink.
Very good summary of current government's strategy "rather policed the reaction than address the cause". Someone will end up by saying (or thinking) Nowak was being 'provocative' in letting himself die. Maybe all victims of crimes committed by minorities should be prosecuted and, if necessary, imprisoned even if already dead, what about that?
The cost of being a legal citizen gets ever higher.
Squeezed by ever higher taxes and increasing rules.
Threatened by the power of the state if you say the wrong things or point out the politically inconvenient.
If you challenge the narrative you will be punished with cancellation (loss of job) or loss of freedoms.
The left will say "why fear surveillance if you don't have nothing to hide".
Well, the bar of 'nothing to hide' is now so low it now includes questioning illegal immigration, questioning certain religions, questioning diversity as our strength.
If they could make 'noticing' a crime they would.
The bar is currently set at 'remarking on it' too openly.
If you speed 34mph in a 30 zone. It's fines and re-education for you.
Yet, if you drive a car illegally, with no licence, no insurance and aren't traceable in the system the police will deem it too complicated, there's nothing to go after. You will be released.
If your tax affairs are complicated, HMRC will be coming after you with their new powers. Their ability to check bank accounts, ability to deduct directly from you, ability to fine you directly.
Yet, if you're an illegal money laundering vape shop, american candy store, Turkish barber - business as usual. Nothing to see here 'guv.
If you write politically inconvenient things on Facebook. Serve time.
If you throw a traffic cone in the wrong place at the wrong time. Serve time.
If you stand at a demonstration and shout at police. Serve time. Die in prison. RIP Peter Lynch.
Yet if you murder 3 young girls at a Taylor Swift dance party the police will portray you as a Welsh Christian choirboy and the BBC will portray you as a child star of Doctor Who. The state will create an information vacuum to try and lure in those with the most rage - then use the entire legal apparatus to make an example of them.
If you break into the country illegally you get to stay at our expense. You get prioritised medical treatment. You get paid weekly allowances. If you go on to commit crimes - judges of a left wing persuasion will look to give you the most lenient sentence possible based on your cultural differences.
The only action that the leftist government will accept is that you must work, pay your taxes, keep your head down, say nothing, notice nothing, share nothing, do not react, do not question…..just pay up your money for us to distribute to our favoured causes, based on critical theory.
The leftists don't want growth, they want power and control, because they know best.
Anarcho-tyranny is a disease of leftism.
Where did all this leftism come from? What did critical theory start with? Who did they get on board first?
Can we all acknowledge yet that it is not working? That this is downward spiral has been over the last 30 years. At least since Blair. Can we all agree to that? That things were immeasurably better before prior to Tony Blair?
Absolutely correct Matt, we are now most definately living in an anarcho-tyranny State. The question is are those amongst us that are patriots, law abiding, fleeced tax payers who pay their way unburdening the State are we really going to continue sitting and watch the destruction of our country? If we are then all is most definately lost and Great Britain in the very near future will be no more.
A healthy body is able to identify viruses and bacteria and its immune system fights them and gets rid of them. In order to do that it needs to know what is Self and what is NOT SELF. A recent writer researching autoimmune disease (Bordo 2026) discovered that 80% of autoimmune diseases are expereinced only by women, and 67% of those women were eldest daughters or only daughters. They had taken on the caring role for the family to their own detriment and she labelled their condition "Good Girl" syndrome. These women were so oppressed that they had learnt to fawn and could not recognise and advocate for their own needs. They became exhausted and developed autoimmune diseases where the body turns on itself and attacks its own structures.
You are describing a country that suffers from "Good citizen" syndrome, that is so oppressed it does not know what is in its own interests. It cannot distinguish Self from Not Self, and it is heavily policing itself while allowing all sorts of disease to run rampant in the body because it is not identified as a threat...because that would mean not being "Good".
The fact that we have a government that has given away £28 Billion - apparently half of our nation's defence budget - to people who want to destroy us shows this nation is very sick. It is suffering from the autoimmune disease that you describe as Anarcho- Tyranny. By the way, a lot of the "Good" people with autoimmune diseases are very hard on themselves and self critical. Just as this nation has become apologetic and self critical.
Thankyou I am a psychotherapist and have noticed over decades in this work that healthy people have a strong sense of self , clear boundaries and self respect. When people are emotionally traumatised they lose their sense of self, boundary and self respect. Boundaries matter.
I notice you’re not pushing the ‘Reform will fix it’ line in this article. Is that because so much of this happened under many of the people who now sit at the top of Reform? Jenrick was Immigration Minister and Braverman Home Secretary when this latest Sudanese attacker was granted leave to remain.
There’s a Heretics podcast where Braverman explains in detail how she repeatedly tried to limit immigration and how she was blocked. Perhaps all those defectors tried to do the right thing too.
They would (definitely should) have known from day one the types of people they were admitting. If they weren’t happy with that and couldn’t change it I question why it took 14 months to resign.
Robert Jenrick was boasting about having “welcomed Sudanese nationals”, talking of our “proud history” of bringing in refugees. Is he proud of his legacy?
I agree. Restore have support from the likes of Carl Benjamin who has said things about our Jewish community which make me shudder. Lowe’s really a Tory anyway and he and Kemi never criticise each other. She gave him his seat on the PAC. They would rather see the destruction of Farage and Reform than help us beat Labour in Makerfield.
Then you may as well vote for the Monster Raving Looney Party, because your vote will not only be wasted, it will help to ensure that Andy Burnham will become the next unelected, Prime Minister without a mandate.
We need to give Reform a chance. The left (including the Tories) blaming Suella and Jenrick when the party was in power and they both resigned after making a lot of noise, is a typical deflection tactic.
Oh yes it does! Burnham has already said two things of great significance. He won’t be “in hock to the bond markets” - well Andy that’s 50% made up of private sector pension funds and if you default on that you’re defaulting on our pensions. Second he’ll introduce PR (to protect a left wing coalition) despite it not being in the manifesto. He’s dangerous and potentially a far bigger menace than Starmer.
Well the £5m helps keep Farage and senior Reform officers alive after Starmer slashed their security details by 75%. He’s also being investigated the Parliamentary Standards Committee which is more than happened to Starmer for his glut of Lord Alli gifts.
No, no, no TT. These are the 'hard yards' we must travel. There's a long way to travel to recover our sovereignty and constitution from the cancerous results of the multiculturism experiment.
I do not accept that the £5m requires a return favour. It was given for a clear and essential purpose by someone for whom the sum was not particularly large, and who respects Reform's stance, policies and requirements for serious and deep support.
We have imported ‘alien cultures’ into this once law abiding, tolerant, fair and trusting society. And all our snivelling cowards of leaders can do is lie, gaslight, deflect, sneer and stick their heads in their diverse and multicultural sand. All Hilary Benn could do yesterday in parliament was to call an MP out on his use of the term alien cultures. Never mind what had happened. Let’s not discuss what we can all see. Let’s just all be happy clappy in infantile pretend land like a bunch of toddlers on CBBC. And anyone who wants to discuss the issues is just a far right thug who should be locked up. Keep putting a lid on the pressure cooker and one day it will blow.
Hilary Benn: “But what do you mean by alien cultures?”
I was watching and my jaw literally dropped when I saw/heard Benns response . Is that really what he took away from the question !!!!???? Frightening
Suicidal empathy
Member of the Fabian Society.
The Left are always pretended they don't know the meaning of anything and so making discourse almost impossible.
Sadiq Khan a prime example.

Anarcho-Tyranny sums up the UK perfectly. A former great country where, these days, words matter far more than actions.
Makerfield should be an easy and decisive WIN for Reform, if only half of what's been happening to Britain in recent years is laid out clearly to the voters there. But I'm not confident of that win because Reform seniors spend most of their time preaching to the already enlightened, which is of course safer and easier.

You are absolutely spot on. And all it of laid out in the Quran and other scriptures. It’s not as if we haven’t been warned.
And if you raise your voice against this stuff you are a thug , a racist and obviously far right ! This gang certainly not gonna do anything about this !

I am tempted to copy-and-paste the same comment in response to each of Matt's articles - "We are f*cked".
My apologies 🤣 but yes, I am sceptical of the current direction of travel to put it mildly
So is everyone Matt apart from Public Sector, NGO and charity employees and benefits scroungers who keep Labour in power.
Thanks Matt for your talk highlighting this in Shifnal last night. I find it more than ironic that 250 years ago some colonists in Americas decided in their terms that England had lost sight of their liberties and that it was up to them as disciples of the enlightenment especially the writings of John Locke that we are being reminded of this by political leaders in the US and the setting up of a portal so that people can browse web sites freely and that VPN's are proliferating in the UK to read news.

I’d recommend reading the original Samuel Francis essay on anarcho-tyranny which is online, Chronicles Magazine, he uses a similar example.

With Andy Burnham we will have more of the same. The unease gets stronger, verging on outright fear for the future of the UK.

They would rather police the reaction than address the cause.
They are the cause!
Very good summary of current government's strategy "rather policed the reaction than address the cause". Someone will end up by saying (or thinking) Nowak was being 'provocative' in letting himself die. Maybe all victims of crimes committed by minorities should be prosecuted and, if necessary, imprisoned even if already dead, what about that?
I’m sorry Steve, Starmer is following the WEF plan to breakdown the UK, causing disruption, dissatisfaction and depression;- he is doing rather well !
He should be charged for Treason, he is a traitor !
Where Starmer is concerned I am minded to follow the old adage: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Anarcho-tyranny indeed.
The cost of being a legal citizen gets ever higher.
Squeezed by ever higher taxes and increasing rules.
Threatened by the power of the state if you say the wrong things or point out the politically inconvenient.

Yet, if you drive a car illegally, with no licence, no insurance and aren't traceable in the system the police will deem it too complicated, there's nothing to go after. You will be released.
If your tax affairs are complicated, HMRC will be coming after you with their new powers. Their ability to check bank accounts, ability to deduct directly from you, ability to fine you directly.
Yet, if you're an illegal money laundering vape shop, american candy store, Turkish barber - business as usual. Nothing to see here 'guv.
If you write politically inconvenient things on Facebook. Serve time.
If you throw a traffic cone in the wrong place at the wrong time. Serve time.
If you stand at a demonstration and shout at police. Serve time. Die in prison. RIP Peter Lynch.
Yet if you murder 3 young girls at a Taylor Swift dance party the police will portray you as a Welsh Christian choirboy and the BBC will portray you as a child star of Doctor Who. The state will create an information vacuum to try and lure in those with the most rage - then use the entire legal apparatus to make an example of them.
If you break into the country illegally you get to stay at our expense. You get prioritised medical treatment. You get paid weekly allowances. If you go on to commit crimes - judges of a left wing persuasion will look to give you the most lenient sentence possible based on your cultural differences.
The only action that the leftist government will accept is that you must work, pay your taxes, keep your head down, say nothing, notice nothing, share nothing, do not react, do not question…..just pay up your money for us to distribute to our favoured causes, based on critical theory.
The leftists don't want growth, they want power and control, because they know best.
Anarcho-tyranny is a disease of leftism.
Where did all this leftism come from? What did critical theory start with? Who did they get on board first?
Can we all acknowledge yet that it is not working? That this is downward spiral has been over the last 30 years. At least since Blair. Can we all agree to that? That things were immeasurably better before prior to Tony Blair?
We desperately need rid of this political class. Immigration needs to be treated as a national emergency
Absolutely correct Matt, we are now most definately living in an anarcho-tyranny State. The question is are those amongst us that are patriots, law abiding, fleeced tax payers who pay their way unburdening the State are we really going to continue sitting and watch the destruction of our country? If we are then all is most definately lost and Great Britain in the very near future will be no more.
A general strike may be the only peaceful way to bring down this government and bring about change .
Or if everyone simultaneously cancelled their TV licence and boycotted all BBC and SKY media output.
I've already done all of those, many more need to do so too.
Me too.
Yes I’ve wondered if everyone just stopped if that would trigger their downfall.
Bear with me...
A healthy body is able to identify viruses and bacteria and its immune system fights them and gets rid of them. In order to do that it needs to know what is Self and what is NOT SELF. A recent writer researching autoimmune disease (Bordo 2026) discovered that 80% of autoimmune diseases are expereinced only by women, and 67% of those women were eldest daughters or only daughters. They had taken on the caring role for the family to their own detriment and she labelled their condition "Good Girl" syndrome. These women were so oppressed that they had learnt to fawn and could not recognise and advocate for their own needs. They became exhausted and developed autoimmune diseases where the body turns on itself and attacks its own structures.
You are describing a country that suffers from "Good citizen" syndrome, that is so oppressed it does not know what is in its own interests. It cannot distinguish Self from Not Self, and it is heavily policing itself while allowing all sorts of disease to run rampant in the body because it is not identified as a threat...because that would mean not being "Good".
The fact that we have a government that has given away £28 Billion - apparently half of our nation's defence budget - to people who want to destroy us shows this nation is very sick. It is suffering from the autoimmune disease that you describe as Anarcho- Tyranny. By the way, a lot of the "Good" people with autoimmune diseases are very hard on themselves and self critical. Just as this nation has become apologetic and self critical.
That is a very interesting analysis. Worth mulling over. Thank you!
Thankyou I am a psychotherapist and have noticed over decades in this work that healthy people have a strong sense of self , clear boundaries and self respect. When people are emotionally traumatised they lose their sense of self, boundary and self respect. Boundaries matter.
This reads like the charge sheet to be presented to an international court in the trial of the leader of a failed state.
I notice you’re not pushing the ‘Reform will fix it’ line in this article. Is that because so much of this happened under many of the people who now sit at the top of Reform? Jenrick was Immigration Minister and Braverman Home Secretary when this latest Sudanese attacker was granted leave to remain.
There’s a Heretics podcast where Braverman explains in detail how she repeatedly tried to limit immigration and how she was blocked. Perhaps all those defectors tried to do the right thing too.
They would (definitely should) have known from day one the types of people they were admitting. If they weren’t happy with that and couldn’t change it I question why it took 14 months to resign.
Robert Jenrick was boasting about having “welcomed Sudanese nationals”, talking of our “proud history” of bringing in refugees. Is he proud of his legacy?
I agree about Jenrick. He changed his tune when he saw public opinion changing.
He is allowed to change his mind though TT. I’ve moved from Labour to Tory to Reform. I certainly won’t be joining Restore and the anti-semites.
Yes that’s true. I’m voting Reform anyway, they’re our only hope. And Restore is attracting some very questionable people.
Your political journey matches my own!
I agree. Restore have support from the likes of Carl Benjamin who has said things about our Jewish community which make me shudder. Lowe’s really a Tory anyway and he and Kemi never criticise each other. She gave him his seat on the PAC. They would rather see the destruction of Farage and Reform than help us beat Labour in Makerfield.
How long ago were you Labour, if you don’t mind me asking?
I voted for Blair and left Labour after Iraq and Brown’s mess of handling the global financial crisis. Why?
I actually spoke to her at a Reform Rally and this is what she told me. I explained when she was sacked was the day I left the Conservatives.
I have a lot of time for her.
As a Reform member and supporter I’m afraid to say it’s likely Nigel and his team won’t be able to save the country, too far gone.
Have courage ! Or as Han Solo would say “ never tell me the odds “
Don't let that prevent you from voting Reform UK at the next opportunity, though. It won't stop me, and I share your concerns.
I’ll be voting Restore
Then you may as well vote for the Monster Raving Looney Party, because your vote will not only be wasted, it will help to ensure that Andy Burnham will become the next unelected, Prime Minister without a mandate.
Thanks for that.
Well said Ken. Actually he might as well vote Labour.
What’s the alternative?
Ignore me, just a bit depressed about it all. We’ll be fine in the end.
We need to give Reform a chance. The left (including the Tories) blaming Suella and Jenrick when the party was in power and they both resigned after making a lot of noise, is a typical deflection tactic.
Restore Britain.
Dream on. Split the right and look forward to PM Burnham.
Because PM Burnham is going to be worse than two tier, rayner or streeting? It doesn’t matter who is PM
Oh yes it does! Burnham has already said two things of great significance. He won’t be “in hock to the bond markets” - well Andy that’s 50% made up of private sector pension funds and if you default on that you’re defaulting on our pensions. Second he’ll introduce PR (to protect a left wing coalition) despite it not being in the manifesto. He’s dangerous and potentially a far bigger menace than Starmer.
I wouldn’t trust Nigel as far as I could throw him. Who receives £5m as a ‘gift’, for nothing in return?
Well the £5m helps keep Farage and senior Reform officers alive after Starmer slashed their security details by 75%. He’s also being investigated the Parliamentary Standards Committee which is more than happened to Starmer for his glut of Lord Alli gifts.
I hope you’re wrong otherwise we may as well give up now.
No, no, no TT. These are the 'hard yards' we must travel. There's a long way to travel to recover our sovereignty and constitution from the cancerous results of the multiculturism experiment.
Sorry, don’t understand what the no is for. I agree with your next sentence completely,
No to giving up. Thanks for your comment.
I do not accept that the £5m requires a return favour. It was given for a clear and essential purpose by someone for whom the sum was not particularly large, and who respects Reform's stance, policies and requirements for serious and deep support.
Spot on Jon!
Another corker Matt, but what worries me is, how does this end?
Perhaps in 1984 - or in 1776.
