If we were not living through this we would not believe it. If some other country around the world had done this when we were not doing so we would dismiss or disbelieve media reports about it. While the issues discussed in this article are the most important in Britain today we can see similar disasters unfolding on other policy fronts.

The economy is being trashed by government overspending and unaffordable taxes.

The loss of affordable reliable energy.

Breakdown of the justice system.

Denial of democracy through cancelled elections

And more.

This is all so depressingly true. One stupid ‘progressive’, shortsighted decision after another has brought us to this point. Suicidal empathy is bringing us to our knees as a country. Thank goodness, as Matt says, there is a choice and there is a chance to change things. I just hope enough people have the sense to take that chance before it’s too late.

It is depressing but it is too late. Is it possible to deport people who were born in the UK?

It is possible, we've just been condtioned into believing it isn't. For example, Qatar deports 2nd gen immigrants if they violate immigration laws, or they're a threat to national security.

Prob many Brits wouldn't vote for this though. Then again we didn't vote for mass immigration and it still happened

It is probably not possible. I don’t know. But we have to try to change what can be changed. Our children’s future depends on it.

Thanks Matt for being the voice of those of us who want to hear the truth and for something drastic to be done about it.

The ONLY thing holding us back from returning to the progress and civilization of the past (pre '90s) is our filthy, cowardly, traitorous, corrupt, immoral so-called ruling class. They are worse than useless; they are an extreme danger to the wellbeing and future happiness and prosperity of every single decent, civilized, law-abiding citizen of our once beautiful country. I could not hate these traitors more. The number one priority of every person who wants change, especially those with a platform and decent reach, is to encourage anyone who is not registered to vote, and those who have never voted, to get on the electoral roll and get out to the polling stations across the length and breadth of this land. Even down to explaining exactly how to vote, where to go, what to do - anything to help persuade non-voters to change their behaviour and win our country back democratically from these vile, contemptuous bodies currently inhabiting Westminster.

And end postal voting!

Deborah R's avatar

Oh my goodness, YES!! It is of the utmost urgency that the postal voting law is changed or tightened up to the nth degree possible! But who, in this corrupt majority rabble in power, will ever agree to the changes when the current vote-tampering system suits them?

I think it is Louise Perry who stated it’s also to do with feminisation of politics -childless women pouring out their maternal instincts onto victim groups as surrogate babies.

When will it end? Probably when our leaders stop pretending not to see what’s in front of them. As I wrote yesterday, 'liberal societies don’t die through dramatic collapse but through accumulated acts of cowardice. Britain is running out of time to remember what it stands for – and why it’s worth defending. A country that won’t name its problems can’t solve them'.

When will it end indeed. T S Eliot wrote ‘the hollow men’ in the aftermath of the Great War. The poem ends “this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper”. Perhaps we should amend it to say “This is the way the West ends…”

Yes, the Auden quote made me think of T. S. Eliot as well. Thanks.

Thanks for that! I'll have to track down the poem. Found it: A Summer Night

Someone parodied Eliot’s ‘not with a bang’ turning it into ‘not with a fart but a simper’. For some reason I believe it was Auden but I can’t find the reference via Google.

I am sick of this, I can't take any more. The attack on the train filled me with revulsion and terror - terror for the experience of the poor souls who were trapped on that train with a maniac who was trying to hack them to death. It deeply, deeply affected me and I do not wish to imagine what it must have been like.

I am old, and I grew up in a time when murder was so rare that an incidence of it would be major news; now it is an everyday occurrence that we shrug our shoulders at...... Why have we imported murderers? The answer is easy: we are ruled by giant corporations who demand mass, cheap labour; these corporations have power over our governments, exercised via various means, but all amounting to the same thing: blackmail and bribery. Remember the post-Brexit announcement by Boris that Britain would become a high-wage, high-skill economy? What happened to it? The answer is that Boris' vision collided with the reality of the giant corporations that run this country, who blackmailed him into doing the opposite to what he had promised. Remember the lorry driver shortage that was pushing up wages because pay was so low in the industry that drivers were leaving in droves? The haulage companies blackmailed Boris into importing cheap foreign drivers by telling him that they would not pay higher wages and thus the shops and fuel stations would run out of supplies and bring the country to its knees, and so Boris capitulated. We will not end immigration and our replacement with the Third World without a radical political revolution.

The liberal elite couldn't wait to tell us that the perpetrator of Saturday's attack is a British national. But to me this is meaningless. We hand out so many citizenships to all kinds I don't know what British national means. The Southport murderer was a British national, but if he is really British then I'm Rwandan. But this is what they'll do now Matt. All and sundry are now British nationals. The stable door is wide open. The horse bolted. We're all the same aren't we?

It is terribly, terribly simple: If you import the Third World, you get the Third World, complete with violence, squalor, medieval emotions, religious fanaticism etc. (As Oscar Wilde remarked: "Mediaeval art is charming; mediaeval emotions are not.")

Completely inaccurate and unfair to bring the Middle Ages into this. The Middle Ages were a time of huge advance; the elimination of slavery in England is one example.

What on earth does it take to trigger 'Misconduct in Public Office' ????

Misconduct in public office (“MiPO”) is a common law offence that can be tried only on indictment. It carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. The offence concerns serious wilful abuse or neglect of the power or responsibilities of the public office held. There must be a direct link between the misconduct and an abuse of those powers or responsibilities. The Court of Appeal has made it clear that the offence should be strictly confined, and it can raise complex and sometimes sensitive issues.

They are willfully and intentionally putting us all at risk, especially our wives and daughters.

And surely, the release of details from the Pakistani Muslim rape gangs will bring down this treacherous, Labour government with the atrocities taking place mainly in Labour councils?

And what does it take to litigate Labour for TREASON: think unnecessarily giving away the Chagos Islands and further impoverishing the Uk taxpayer, think collapsing the Chinese spy case and giving secrets to the CCP, think approving the Chinese embassy which now is being pushed back ......

For crying out loud, WHAT does it take ?????

You say no other society would do this, but this madness is in fact rife across the Western world (with the exception of Japan and some countries in Western Europe). Trump has shifted the dial in the USA, which imported millions of violent no-hopers under Biden. Elites in a few other Western countries e.g. Denmark have started to change tack.

It's a pathology of liberalism.

I am afraid we cannot wait the next elections to end this bloody nightmare. The damages will be non revertible -- although it is already the case for many families and law abiding citizens, especially those you are referring to.

The people will have to do it if the government does not do anything.

We clearly notice what's going on now but taking your point many don't realise its a long set UN policy.

Amongst my friends many still think it's just our politicians failing to understand the populations views. "If only they understood our concerns they'd stop it"

They patently do know, they just don't care and so it won't be stopped.

I have managed to educate most of my male friends that Reform is the only party that can save us, but only by going down "They are the least worst" argument, they worry that Farage is not to be trusted. However their wives, while aware of uniparty failures will vote Greens or Lib Dem, thats my worry for Reform.
