This is so ‘on the money’ Matt! Integration has failed miserably for one particular demographic because they don’t want to integrate , they want to replace. Signs going up in London Boroughs banning dogs being walked there is only one example about how this group has become increasingly emboldened. Praying in the middle of the street is another and religious buildings being given planning permission in inappropriate locations yet another.

We are slowly being subsumed by this demographic, whereas other groups integrate, this group does not.

It is not only one demographic that is to blame. Indeed maybe they are not to blame at all.

The elites have been inviting diverse groups here for two decades and more while vigorously proclaiming multi-culturalism. That was and remains the antithesis of integration and coherent communities.

In that sense it is the Blair, Straw, Cameron, Johnson policies which are at fault. The newcomers could reasonably object they had been miss sold if we now insist they respect our laws.

You know who to hold responsible.

Does anyone know whether or not this footage of David Cameron is genuine?

If so, it is deeply disturbing. If not, he needs to refute it. There is a big difference between including people and inviting them to dominate.

I don't know if it is genuine but what is said in the video is entirely consistent with the policies and actions in government of Cameron and of his successors and, indeed, the Tory Party.

Val I like this, but where appropriate why don’t you use the word Muslim or Mosque? I think we’re continually made to feel fearful of criticising Islam.

That's the plan with this ridiculous Islamophobia law. If they are genuine about it we must also have a Semeticophobia law, a Buddhistophobia law, a Sikhophobia law, a Christianophobia law, a Hinduophobia law, etc, etc. Why do our leaders think Islam is the only religion which is above criticism, or even debate?

I sometimes don't have the heart to read your posts Matt , what we see going on around us and how powerless we feel is most depressing. Instead of acknowledging that the country has gone on a drastically damaging path those really running the country seem intent on doubling down and going for broke which is where we will end up. The big question is WHY ?

Tracy Hill's avatar

I feel the same. I open the emails with utter trepidation. The why, I believe is ideological brainwashing. Hammering into people that speaking out will result in having their lives destroyed has made the status quo the norm. The elite is blinded by arrogance and narcissism just like the empires and his new clothes. It's bizarre. I feel utterly helpless other than to go and learn Hungarian or Polish in the hope that they'll let me in once the UK becomes a war zone.

I feel that there is more to it than ideological brainwashing . The facilitating of the Muslim influx ,who lets face will need women, will they (forceably as now)use ours or bring their own in?. Is Eugenics involved by some nut case with a Blofeld type fantasy....but why Muslims when Sikhs and Hindus are more industrious , more educated and more respectful and more peaceable . ? So many countries once Christian now Muslim and not achieved peacefully and now they are coming for the UK and our political class are facilitating it by preferential laws or by cowardice and keeping their heads down and their mouth's shut.

I know what you mean there being more to it but how can there be without a massive far reaching conspiracy which no way could be kept quiet. I suppose Muslims come in more than others because they apply for the visas. Maybe hindus don't apply or at least not for the unskilled jobs. We just need to get Reform in in 2029 and then this can all be shut down. Maybe not overnight but if labour stay in a second term then we are doomed.

but its not just in the UK Tracey , the EU are in on it, The US democrats were in on it even bringing people in by plane. WEF and UN are the obvious culprits but I feel there must be some figures in the shadows also. I just dont understand what they are likely to get out of it except a lot of hangers on, the women dont work and I think somewhere in the region of only 20% of 16 -74 year olds work.

What happened? It is so simple that even a child could read the runes...... Blair is a globalist, so he was completely on board with the ending of national identities and the destruction of national boundaries, so his governments set out the framework to destroy these constructs, and he did it thoroughly, allowing no means for future governments to redress the balance. Blair was followed by Cameron, the 'heir to Blair', and boy he certainly was that, enacting continuity Blair policies and turning the Conservative Party into New Labour. This was only half the story though, Blair also radicalized the heart of the country, turning every public body and institution into a Left-wing bastion that was a Trojan horse allowing complete control over our everyday lives, with consequences that those who were taken in by Blair could not imagine.

And so we have now reached the end-game, with mass immigration responsible for the take-over of our cities, two tier policing and judiciary, where Anglo-Saxon people are the enemy within their own country, subjected to harsh treatment for minor misdemeanors, while others are let-off; white people banned from applying for jobs in their own country, and placed at the back of the queue for social housing. This process is now reaching its final phase in the Government's plans for local government, which will bring English villages, the last refuge of the Anglo-Saxon population, under the control of city mayors, exactly as has been done in London, resulting in radicle, Left-wing policies being imposed upon traditional English countryside settlements by immigrants, whose votes far outnumber the votes of the local communities. I said it before, and I say it again, if you are white and English, and you have the means, get out now while you have the chance.

It will be like the Soviet Union - the ruling Elite will live in gated, protected communities and the masses will live in violent slums. What will be interesting is what effect the Government's policy of housing immigrants in leafy villages will have on the voting intentions of the wealthy, who up till now have not experienced the benefits of diversity.

Iris February's avatar

I am of the belief that that strategy will come back and bite them on the bum as so many who are not affected by mass immigration think it doesn't matter. I had the same argument with someone who castigated me for objecting to new social housing being built specifically for "refugees". Her argument was "They are not being built here so what does it matter how many we let in?" When they are in every town and village perhaps more people will begin to see the light.

There is another option... repeat the Glorious Revolution of 1688. If William is up to standing up for the English... he's the first majority English male heir to the throne since HM King Henry VIII, whose sickly son was majority English but died before his 18th birthday...he'd be welcomed even if he had to depose his father in the process. He could also dismiss Parliament and arrange for new elections that are not controlled and or faked by globalists.

the political class know that migration has gone so far it will be nigh on impossible to turn back the tide,( I suspect this is what Farage now knows ,hence is subtle direction change ) they fear violence on the street , insurrection and they think the white indigenous people are weak and expendable and so they will side with the incomers because they are raised in violent cultures and hate us and most likely to win the battle.Ive asked this question before...how many of us are now looking at other countries where we might go ?

Excellent article. It's a shame Nigel Farage doesn't seem to be able to answer the questions you know the answers to.

I remember going to Hungary in 1977, as a student, to teach English to Hungarian children on a language summer camp. It was of course behind the Iron Curtain then and ordinary Hungarians were not allowed to travel outside the Soviet Union. The children had some funny ideas about England - they seemed to have a sort of Dickensian image, where children were barefoot begging for bread and dark satanic mills were pumping out pollution. Seems like the propaganda boot has moved over to English side. Can't have the serfs thinking that maybe there's a better way to do things eh?

There's a danger in confusing Muslims and Islamism. Whereas all Islamists are Muslims not all Muslims are Islamist. Islamism is a political ideology that advocates Sharia law and destruction of the infidel amongst other things. That has nothing to do with the peaceful muslim religion with which we should be able to integrate. As far as I know Zia Yousef is a Muslim, not an Islamist

John R. Grout's avatar

I used to believe in the "peaceful Muslim religion" tens of thousands of "she was asking for it" rapes ago. They don't denounce those rapes, or the rapes of schoolgirls, and they support the HAMAS without the slightest qualm. Those are NOT the actions of people that embrace a "peaceful religion". Those are the actions of vile people playing possum that need to be expelled. Anyone that wishes to stay had better have a well-documented record of condemning those actions by other Muslims. Of course, they would say that it would risk their lives to go against them... but it would risk Britons' lives if they were not expelled.

Michael Plato's avatar

I think you are confusing failure to integrate with militancy. In fact your comment is a deranged slur on the many thousands of Muslim worshippers who profoundly disapprove of both schoolgirl rapes (which are the proclivity of a particular Muslim sub group anyway) and of Hamas. Your approach is both negative and doomed to failure

John R. Grout's avatar

I think you are being unreasonably optimistic... and I do not care for the insult ("deranged slur") with which you responded. I am not an idiot... years ago, I had a self-identified Palestinian as a work friend and I eventually realized he was every bit as anti-Semitic and nasty as he pretended not to be. I am sure he rejoiced in what happened on October 7th.. and I am equally sure that many of the people you are praising actually do approve of HAMAS but feel they have to hide it.

You are making the same mistake as John Grout above so I won't repeat it.

Farage appointed Zia Yousef to be chairman because he thought he was the best man for the job, and he is doing a good job of getting local branch structures in place and professionalising the party . It’s also an extremely canny move because Reform cannot be badged as the anti Muslim racist party when it has a Muslim chairman . The object is not for us to become racist , it was never about that . Currently we are fighting racism and discrimination against white British , and there are people from various ethnicities who will want to fight with us to get our country back and return to British values . Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water

Hi Lesley, I'm going to have to disagree with you. I'm a branch officer and all we see is chaos, lack of professionalism and broken promises. We don't need a Muslim chairman to prove that Farage is not racist, because it may surprise you that Islam is not a race, IMHO it's not even a religion, its a misogynistic cult which white people can, and do, join. Yusuf could turn out to be a Trojan horse. If Farage wanted to prove that he's not racist then he could have appointed a black person, or, heaven forbid, we, the hoi polloi, members, could have elected a chairman

I was told off for saying somewhat similar things. The Briton called what I said a "slur". If I were in the UK, I would go out of my way to never go anywhere near that guy, as he sounds like someone who would report people who claimed that Muslims were anti-Semites and HAMAS supporters but concealed it. Clearly, to him, it constitutes "hate speech". The hate is all inside him... he hates people that don't follow the Government's line on Muslims being "peaceful". He equates people saying privately to non-Muslims how much they dislike the HAMAS and reject what the intifada is doing with saying the same thing publicly to Muslims. Those aren't the same actions, and they are often done 180 degrees opposite. If he doesn't understand human nature well enough to understand that, screw him.

The Tories tried the same canny move to prove they aren't racist - less than half of senior ministers were white, Indian leader followed by African leader. If this is canny that means that the discrimination is deliberate, that Reform is playing the same cynical game of racial politics as the other parties.

I didn’t say that’s why Zia was chosen , in fact I argued the opposite . We live in the real world Badgers not an idealised one , and there will be a lot of flack thrown at Reform as the election draws closer and one of the things Zia brings to the table is that it’s harder for that to stick, it also sends a message that immigrants who embrace British culture and values are welcome in Reform . We don’t want sectarian parties . That is real politics

We need to replace the ruling liberal elite in our government and institutions with one more aligned to the views of the majority .

Positions of power and influence - positions like Chairman of Reform? Seriously, I would not be opposed to a Muslim party Chairman on principle provided that he had a record of public service, put country before sectarian interests and was chosen on merit. My problem with Zia is that it looks as though he has bought influence with his donation and that he was chosen for his race and religion.

The problem with DEI is that many people will assume that is the reason any ethnic minority person is in a senior position . Zia was an entrepreneur and successful businessman , a qualification absent on the Labour front bench and might be a better background than public service for some positions. We need to cast the net wider that many of our current politicians who have essentially come from university into the politics machine and that is the limit of their experience . We have far too many of those . I don’t doubt Zia puts country above sectarian interests and don’t have a problem with him personally
