I hate them all so bloody much, the people doing this to us. It’s as if someone is pouring acid on what once was the most wonderful country and culture and is laughing to see it all dissolve in front of our eyes. Sorry to be melodramatic but I just hate it all.
Not melodramatic at all. You can't possibly overstate the insanity that is going on all around. I take comfort in hearing more and more voices speaking out against this suicide. It's a minority of zealous dedicated activists who are doing this. The majority of the country would not approve, I'm certain. However we need to wake up all those who are oblivious to what is going on. So keep talking, plant seeds calmly backed up with data here and there. On top of that I have started going to some of the FSU live events. Most are in London but it makes me feel slightly less helpless and also delightful to be among likeminded people in person as those are few and far between in my circle of friends. And always good to support the speakers. Kellie-Jay on the 27 March - still tickets available. She's a hero so can't wait to see her speak. If anyone is going let me know, would be interesting to meet people on here in person. She was thrown out of an international women's day event last weekend for asking the women focussed institutions present whether they safeguard singles spaces. Police called, thrown out. Let's all go and support her! Does Matt still do his Xmas parties? That could be our new "safe space" 😉 Just keep talking and have data to hand. It shuts people up and gets them thinking.
Thanks Tracy. Yes I’m much calmer when trying to wake people up 😄 and I’m definitely armed with lots of data. I regard this substack as a place to vent amongst like minded people.
I’ve supported KJK for some years and I’m an FSU member. I’ve got an online ticket for her interview which should be great.
I agree with you entirely. All this is revolting , all the more as it is happening at the very same time that Labour decided on a new definition of islamophobia or anti-muslim discrimination. Apparently, these are two distinct issues, however, they are both symptoms of the gradual demise of Great Britain as a nation. Brexit stemmed from the British people's eagerness to regain their sovereignty, which was an encouraging step towards recapturing nationhood; but this is now being destroyed by a class of ignorant demagogues. This is all very sad. As a Frenchman who is very fond of your nation, I do sincerely hope that the damage done by those people is not irremediable. Best wishes from France, a nation that is also undergoing major negative change.
Thanks Jean- Bernard and thanks for your support of this substack, especially when you have your own problems in France and across the EU. Perhaps you could let us know what’s happening near you occasionally.
No other party can achieve a majority to deliver the changes we need. All the other options are teasers and ego trips. Their only effect can be to marginally damage Reform.
You assume Reform will deliver the change you desire. The evidence suggests they’re just the uniparty in teal. The electoral paradigm has changed. Reform came from nowhere to leading the polls in a few years. With a motivated activist base, Restore can do the same.
Clearly we disagree on the policies and intentions of Reform.
Given no other party can do what they say they will and what I want, I suggest that anyone shoulkd take a chance; there is no other way of even a hope of it.
Electing a single candidate or even two and drawing away votes from Reform would not bring any of the changes most people on this substack want to see.
I gave up on the Tories when they pushed through the Maastricht Treaty despite all they had said about making the EU suit us. Also their general leftwards drift that has not yet been reversed.
I do not recognise the policy failures you attribute to Reform.
“The way to demoralise a population is to remove its history and its heroes . “ I can’t remember who said that but they were correct . Instead of national pride and a clear picture of who got us here and how, we become psychologically a stateless people . That’s why people don’t want to fight for this country . It no longer feels like it is theirs .
I feel a deep seated fury about this . We were never consulted, it is being done to us like a communist state .
You can hear Trump’s spokespeople feeding national pride in their updates on the Iran war.
Some psychologists have written about 'banal nationalism- - the idea that the sense of belonging to a nation is achieved in many ways through the subtlest of signs. One striking example is the television weather forecast, which focuses only on the country in question and never on neighbouring ones, which may actually be closer to where a particular viewer happens to live. We talk about '*the* weather' in the same way we talk about '*the* news' or *the* banknotes. It is the very taken-for-granted nature of these symbols that makes them so powerful. Take them away and you take away a major indication that we are *a* people with a shared culture as opposed to a mishmash of individuals who just happened to end up in the same broad geographical area.
Removing great historical figures, not just Churchill, from our bank notes is an outrage. Most currencies, apart from the euro, feature historical figures of importance. While I would rather not see Churchill removed, it is the idea of removing historical figures of importance that infuriates me. We have had Florence Nightingale and Isaac Newton on our notes in the past, both of whom represented milestone changes in the way things are done all over the world.
Going forwards, we should be celebrating people like Tim Berners Lee who invented TCP/IP and thus made the internet possible. The list is endless. Charles Babbage invented the computer but it was the Post Office and Alan Turing that harnessed electronics to create the first recognisable modern computer to help decode Enigma traffic during WW2. Christopher Cockerill invented the hovercraft. I am sure there are lots more laudable, clever British people whose inventions and developments created and shaped the modern world and should feature on our notes.
I am sorry, but budgies and foxes just do not make the grade. If I want to look at animals, I will visit either the zoo or a petshop.
TCP/IP was invented Vinton Cerf and Robert (Bob) Kahn, two DARPA researchers who are widely regarded as the fathers of the Internet. Tecnobits +1

How TCP/IP emerged
• In the early 1970s, Cerf and Kahn began designing a new way for heterogeneous computer networks to communicate reliably. Their work built on lessons from ARPANET and packet radio networks. tcpip.training
• Their landmark 1974 paper, A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication, laid out the foundations of what became TCP/IP. GeeksForGeeks
• The first formal specification appeared in RFC 675 (December 1974), authored by Cerf, Yogen Dalal, and Carl Sunshine. GeeksForGeeks
---
Why their contribution matters
TCP/IP wasn’t just another protocol — it solved the core problem of interconnecting diverse networks into a single, resilient system. This architecture became the backbone of the modern Internet, enabling global interoperability and scaling far beyond its original military research context.
Key innovations included:
• Packet switching across multiple networks
• End‑to‑end reliability (TCP)
• Universal addressing and routing (IP)
• A modular, layered design that allowed the Internet to evolve without breaking
---
Broader impact
Cerf and Kahn’s work directly shaped:
• The transition from ARPANET to the modern Internet (the “flag day” cutover to TCP/IP in 1983)
• The open standards culture of the IETF and RFC process
• The global expansion of interoperable networking across academia, industry, and eventually the public
Their contributions earned them numerous awards, including the Turing Award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Wikipedia
---
If you’re curious, I can also walk through how TCP and IP split into separate protocols, or how the 1983 switchover was orchestrated across ARPANET.
Sri Lanka also replaced hsitorical figures, but motivated primarily by ethnic strife. It was to avoid inflaming some sections of its society.
The war on the past in the UK is exacerbated by the growth in parallel societies and by the violence implicit in the growth of Islam and other cultures that do not share our history alongside our young taught to disown their own history and nation.
Defenders of the change say no-one clamoured for Churchill to appear before 1970 but this is disingenous. The monarch is the only living person that can appear on bank notes and Churchill did not die until 1965. The decision to use him was almost immediate but took a long process from formal approval to design to commissioning it on the roughly 20 year cycle of note changes to defeat forgeries.
We have a very rich history of notable figures, enough for many 20 year cycles. Cuddly animals are part of the war on the past and also a sop to transplanted cultures that do not know of or care about our historical figures.
If it must be animals I suggest English breeds of dogs and pigs.
Philosophy includes the concept of "ressentiment", i.e., "a vengeful, petty-minded state of being that does not so much want what others have (although that is partly it) as want others to not have what they have" [Oxford Reference dictionary]. Such vandalism as changing names, removing statues and hiding artworks is symptomatic of ressentiment, the vengeance being taken against traditionalists (including, since 2016, punishing the (presumed traditionalist) people who voted for Brexit) and being delivered by those caught in a spiral of virtue-signalling. It is not without precedent. Development of a blemish-free "mythic past" is a key theme (or symptom) of fascism. In 1933, book-burning by the Deutsche Studentenschaft eradicated publications at odds with the Nazi ideology (the social justice movement of the day). A blemish-free historical narrative paves the way for the framing of views such as 'everything was perfect until the jews/immigrants/gypsies/other arrived'; a history broken on the wheel of political aims is common to many instances of totalitarianism where a brave new world is to be imposed.
The onus should be on educating the audience, not vilifying the art/streets/buildings. It is the job of institutions and heritage organisations to objectively tell us about the cultures that produced the artefacts (and why), not altering them to fit the sensibilities of a new breed of people who are utterly intolerant and demand that everything, new and old, fit their particular moral compass. Everything is nuanced, History almost infinitely so. A policy of "retain and explain" seemed to me classic British compromise, so why push further? To see the Government tearing at its own history makes me think of a group of vegans tearing in torment at their own flesh because they've realised that they themselves are made of meat.
Understanding people of the past in their historical perspective is a compliment we pay them in the hope that people in the future will do the same to us.
Aquote from Nietzsche is (regarding ressentiment): "The sufferers, one and all, are frighteningly willing and inventive in their pretexts for painful emotions; they even enjoy being mistrustful and dwelling on wrongs and imagined slights ... they rip open the oldest wounds and make themselves bleed to death from scars long since healed, they make evil-doers out of friend, wife, child, and anyone else near them".
There seems no room for debate or discussion and, ultimately, history is not changed by these activities; the removal of statues and the renaming of streets is often perceived as punishing people who have personally done nothing to please people who have not personally suffered. The irony is that many of those on the list of people to be expunged from history contributed to a chain of circumstances ultimately leading to the freedom that allows such plans to be considered.
Learn History. Embrace it. Don't repeat the bad bits. That's not difficult, is it?
I have my family tree back to the 17th century. At this rate it will be the ONLY connection our grandchildren will have to the past lives of our family and our country. I guess that the next action will be the digging up of all graveyards and removal of headstones…..probably to make room for another mosque. After all, why should that evidence of continuity remain if it upsets the ‘communities’. But then I’m sure our king will love to see all religions, apart from his beloved Islam, removed. Our leadership/the establishment in all areas are now traitors to the British people. Please God that Reform are in power soon and denounce every one of the participants in the destruction of Britain……traitors one and all. Men of honour are few and far between….and the majority appear to be just keeping their heads down. Thank you Matt for being a patriot and pointing out the causes of our demise.
I can only say that Reform UK will have a LOT of rubbish to toss out when we eventually take power..... turning back the clock and our culture to LOVE our history and our expansion of civilisation to the backward countries globally, scrapping Net Zero, getting rid of the horrendous tax burden killing our free market and our industry. I'd like to see ALL enemies of the people charged and incarcerated or charged and deported....including members of the House, members of the Judiciary, illegal immigrants and legal ones who are against our way of life and laws and anyone who commits a crime and has immigrated her in the past 50 years. I want Labour to vanish totally as a political entity! And so much more Matt... it'll take a while!
I've said it often: what we need from a new Government is not a positive programme - haven't we had more than enough of governments forcing through their daft, Big Ideas? - but a negative one. Destarmerisation.
The Left are determined to destroy national boundaries, so to achieve that aim they must remove any form of symbolism that nationalism can cling to. So, all historical figures must go, anybody that engenders national pride must go, all flags must go (except those with a nebulous message, like Pride flags) paintings that show traditional British scenes must go, music that stirs emotions of patriotism must go, and, mass immigration must continue to water-down the nationalist power base. For a good example of this look at The Last Night of The Proms, which used to traditionally be a sea of Union flags, but these have now been replaced with EU flags. The assault upon our history and culture is all around us, to be replaced by Islamic customs and rules, according to the regulations laid down by Ayatollah Starmer, whom is not fit to lick the boots of Winston Churchill.
I can see why leftists try to undermine you so fiercely Matt. You see through seemingly banal actions - a few name changes here, a few bits of multiculturalism there, a bit of inclusion here and a bit of diversity there.
All those things that are sold to us as kindness, tolerance, progressive, modern, inclusive and most of all 'the right thing to do'. The occasional thing here or there would probably go undetected, but cumulatively it's pretty clear that cultural Marxism is in full flow.
There are deliberate policies in every institution in the land undermining our culture, our history and our civilization so that we move to become 'citizens of nowhere', part of a globalist utopia where there are no borders. Their theme tune is John Lennon's Imagine.
Except, the track record is not good. We're 30 years into this experiment, if we use 1996 BB (before Blair) as the date of reference.
And from what I can see, it's not 'all the people, living life in peace'. That's what we had before.
Back then we had harmony, we had culture, we had safety, we had an economy, we had a high trust society and one that I remember at the time being proud of. Cool Britannia.
Roll on 30 years and what do we have - critical race theory, sectarian voting, a faltering economy, massive welfare problems, climate alarmism, uncontrolled illegal immigration, Labour who lied to get into power and now threaten to 'do more', an oikophobic green party who actively encourage the annihilation of our country and a Prime Minister who doesn't know a man from a woman.
And the 'answer' to all those problems is more of the same. More petrol on the fire. Because ever since covid, only the government can solve your problems, so you better pay your ever increasing taxes and not notice how everything is massively in decline.
Thanks for your courage, honesty and clarity of thought Matt. Keep up the good work.
Don’t forget there are plans to remove the HM Government on government stationery and replacing it with UK Government. Once again a little move that will matter to a lot of people!
You can tell how mad this makes us all, from the tone of the comments below, from the sudden flood of commentary about it on YouTube from various quarters. Can the powers that be, the ones with any non-ideologically-brainwashed cells in their heads, do something about this? This article by Mr Goodwin is excellently expressed. Could we perhaps sellotape it to the front doors and office doors of every single person in the Commons and in the Lords? Is that a sufficiently non-violent but serious cultural comment? Will it change anything?
I hate them all so bloody much, the people doing this to us. It’s as if someone is pouring acid on what once was the most wonderful country and culture and is laughing to see it all dissolve in front of our eyes. Sorry to be melodramatic but I just hate it all.
You are me both - there is no shame about showing passion and patriotism. 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
Thanks Cathryn.
Not melodramatic at all. You can't possibly overstate the insanity that is going on all around. I take comfort in hearing more and more voices speaking out against this suicide. It's a minority of zealous dedicated activists who are doing this. The majority of the country would not approve, I'm certain. However we need to wake up all those who are oblivious to what is going on. So keep talking, plant seeds calmly backed up with data here and there.

I'm ready to walk TT, sadly
Tragedy beyond comprehension to not stop this madness in its tracks
There is on ly one exit ramp from this and it is signposted "Reform".
They don’t care if the native British are made a minority in their own country.
They do care, very much. That is precisely why they're going full throttle to ensure that is what they achieve.
Stop bashing them! They are our only hope. Who else is there that actually stands a chance of getting in. Give them a chance.
They want the native British to be a minority in their own country and probably wiped out.
How can you say that and what is your evidence. And who is the alternative??
Conspiracy theory Tracey

Only an online following and will remain so.

💯but too long till election.These evil traitors will commit yet more damage - they are monsters - hate is too kind!
Reform Day 1, bring back Churchill, Turing, Turner and Austin. I’d add a Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster,

This is not just delegitimising our history and heritage, it is delegitimising the native British people, making our replacement easier.

You can tell how mad this makes us all, from the tone of the comments below, from the sudden flood of commentary about it on YouTube from various quarters. Can the powers that be, the ones with any non-ideologically-brainwashed cells in their heads, do something about this? This article by Mr Goodwin is excellently expressed. Could we perhaps sellotape it to the front doors and office doors of every single person in the Commons and in the Lords? Is that a sufficiently non-violent but serious cultural comment? Will it change anything?
