As The UK Circles The Drain, The Labour Party Resorts To -- You Already Know The Answer -- Demagoguery

Never mind that the Reform candidate is stating the obvious, that what he is saying is objectively true. The existential crisis that the UK finds itself in is almost entirely the result of catastrophically poor decisions made during the dissolution of the empire, when they welcomed their former subjects into England, assuming that they would continue on the path to 1st world civilized behavior, culture, and morals. Then, to make it even worse, they began to import cheap labor from the 3rd world because, frankly, they were too stupid to cultivate home-grown labor, and needed the endless expansion of the welfare state to continue.

Labour brand Reform's Matt Goodwin 'extreme' -- but admit he's beating them in polls

“Goodwin has claimed non-white people cannot truly be English. He said if we'd listened to Tommy Robinson and the English Defence League, we would have ‘avoided some of the problems’ we face today.
“He complained about our civilisation being ‘drained away’ by ‘people from inferior cultures’. He's even suggested women should be told when they should have children.
“This isn't mainstream politics. It's extreme – and Reform chose Goodwin deliberately to drive a wedge between voters.”

The United Kingdom is unrecognizable, and it is trending toward 2nd world status. In London, White Britons are no longer the majority, and a trip on the Tube suggests that English is not the most popular language in the city!

Vast swaths of the country have been taken over by immigrants from the UK's former colonies, and they brought the worst of their countries without embracing the best of British culture. Add in a healthy dose of illegal immigration, and the former jewel of the civilized world is a few generations from losing its position in Western culture, and entering the miasma of the developing world.

But Labour, as it has always done, is fanatical about splitting away immigrants from any sense of patriotism or love of country that may develop, and continues to either demonize traditional Britons or push them farther into the vicious cycle of welfare dependence.

How this shakes out in 2029 when Britain goes to the polls again is hard to predict, but if Britain does not arrest the multicultural catastrophe that is its current domestic politics, then it is lost. The current trend of an ascendant Reform party is full of risk for both the Conservative Party, which has plummeted to practically minor-party status, and for Labour, which may lose not only its absolute majority in Parliament today, but may become a minority party.

But the election is three and a half years away, and that is an eternity in parliamentary politics. It is possible, but not likely, that the prime minister will call an election earlier, simply to protect as many seats as possible . He would lose his position, and it is distinctly possible that Reform would win. But to avoid a catastrophe in 2029, that may be the best choice.

Of course the Labour party is busily trying to lock in its gains, and the destruction of free speech, the resistance to any controls over the border, and the expansion of the welfare state may well cement their gains of last year. That would be the end of "Great" Britain, but that is a cost they are happy to pay to retain power!

Sound familiar?

NEW FASCIST TRAVEL LAWS IN UK - 15 MINUTE CITIES

Oxford is the first but more will soon follow:

- You must apply for a PERMIT to leave your area
- Commute PERMIT needed to travel to work
- 50 visitor passes per year
- 100 day passes per year

This is absolutely insane

7 Morning CBD! Two Trump successes this morning.

First, Melania's doc was a success over the weekend! It will probably give Amazon a better ROI than their stupid Rings of Power debacle. The Hollywood TDS will be off the charts today.

And Trump is building a new arch monument in DC to celebrate America's 250th. He's definitely making sure that town will never forget him.

But buried in the text on it was this second gem of a success:

"“The monument would be funded privately, using leftover donations from the White House ballroom project, Fox News Digital previously reported,” the article read."

Since when does a government building project come in UNDER budget? A there's money left over? When it's a Trump project.

8 It is kind of amazing when you think about it. Look at the Somalians for example. The idea is that you bring in the group of third worlders who will be so happy t be in a first world country that they will vote for you forever (just like Black people. I do not mean that in a racist way, that is how the left looks at all non-whites: as plantation slaves they can use forever like a 2 dollar whore.)

The thing is: Once they are here and legal... what do they need the liberals for? Why give them the money they loot from the treasury and not just keep it themselves?

Mubarak Ibrehim, a migrant living at the Royal Beach Hotel in Southsea, Hampshire, is on trial at Portsmouth Crown Court accused of the alleged rape in the early hours of June 11, 2025.

16 Even though reform is leading in polls, they’re only getting around 1/3 support. Maybe 40% in some outlier polls. In a multi party system that’s enough to win an election comfortably.

But it also means 60%+ of the voting public thinks mass immigration is just fine. Which is the really fucked up part.

That's in addition to the hundreds of thousands of jobs taken from American citizens through outsourcing to cheap third world countries (India, Mexico, people from India living in Canada).

Jumping turnstiles, loud music, rubbish, graffiti, people using speakerphone for calls, etc. Most people are not white, let alone English or British, and they behave poorly.

There was always some diversity even going back to the 1950s.. But it was a small slice of the public. Up until the late 90s when Blair took over, the UK was consistently 90% British white. And the little diversity that existed was almost al in London. Small town UK was virtually all white.

And these people are in leadership positions in governments and institutions in every western nation in the world, including the United States.

The UniParty here in the U.S.A. has been working on replacement of the American population with third worlders for at least the past 2 decades, going back to the Amnesty push in 2006.

We would be well on the same path as Europe right now had President Trump not won in November 2024.

There is still a risk we could go right back on that path if we cannot prevent the Democrats or the GOPe from taking the White House again.

For the U.S.A. to survive, at least for our lifetimes, we need at least 2028, 2032 and 2036 elections to be MAGA policy Presidential wins.

75 The movie The Queen turned out to be prophetic.

Tony Blair got a huge PR boost with Diana's death and calling her "the people's princess." It combined with the PR blitz giving Queen Lizzy a black eye for her tepid response to the news and not reading the mood of her people fast enough. (Quite fair.) And in popular fiction, Bridget jones was creaming her panties for Labour and Blair in the books, and Love Actually had Hugh Grant play a bumbling handsome Blair-like PM. Tony had his moment.

But at the end of the movie, when the queen and Tony Blair are meeting at Buckingham palace, Helen Mirren as the Queen gives an amazing speech on how prime ministers come and go. And while his legacy thrives for the moment, hers will be remembered for much longer. He wins she PR battle but she'll win the legacy war.

During the Diana debacle, I thought maybe Blair would go down as one of the prime minister GOATS, because I was a naive teenager still learning history. But now Labour and the British people and media have cancelled Tony Blair as feckless and not being substantial. He is on his way to being forgotten. So the movie was right after all!

I do not mean that in a racist way, that is how the left looks at all non-whites: as plantation slaves they can use forever like a 2 dollar whore.)

The Somalis are actually an upgrade over regular blacks, from the Democrat point of view. Regular blacks are always at risk of running across a Thomas Sowell quote, and the next thing you know they're saying wrongthink and voting for Literally Hitler.

Somalis, with their less-than-room-temperature average IQ, are in far less danger of any such thing happening.

This was in CO, so I could barely understand anything this dude said, but it was fine... both of us were obviously Americans, and there was an uneasy trust.

I also don't distrust black or Hispanic Ameticans in legitimate business.

The color or region or culture doesn't much matter. This is a huge country with lots of stuff going on.

But I know an American from a foreigner, and while I respect their foreign ways, I want them to remain foreign. Stop trying to make this a race thing. It's not. Miss me with that.

People keep clinging to the silly idea that elections are a solution to a domestic enemy that is seeking to enslave the rest. If the only loss they suffer is at the ballot box, mostly the same people will be back the next time, and the more rerolls you give them, the more likely they are to get the win they need.

They have to be defeated permanently, probably militarily, with the survivors sent into exile. Same for the UK, and anywhere else replacement is being attempted.

I wonder how history would be different had HW Bush not gone back on his promise about taxes. That led to Ross Perot splitting the vote in 1992 and ushering in Bill Clinton. Would have likely been 4 straight GOP election victories (Reagan twice, HW Bush twice).

Also, the immigration policy betrayal during the Reagan Administration -- where the left's promise was border enforcement and immigration enforcement for a one-time amnesty -- led to mass immigration and flipping of California and other states from red to deep blue.

Considering the nation voted for a conservative Republican Congress in the 1990s, had HW Bush not messed up, Perot never enters the campaign and HW Bush wins re-election. And then benefits from the good economy we had under Clinton.

In britain, there is no real mechanism to counter it if those in power decide to remain in power. At least here we have the outline of political/judicial means of resistance. And unlike modern britain, we have the will and means to try to enforce such.

according to certain analysts, the IRCG holds the whip-hand over Kamehni like the Cubans had the whip hand over Maduro

By the way, President Delcy Rodriguez announced an amnesty law on political crimes, closed the Helicon political prison and in the last month had released around 280 political prisoners.

I suspect Trump is not going to "glass" Tehran no matter what the loudest screamers insist as long as he has a plan a and b.

140 Donna,

You are right that is the convention wisdom right now.

But long term political predictions are rarely correct. Post 2008 everyone said Republicans were finished for the next couple of generations.

Things change fast. Florida was a purple state in 2016. And the overnight it was deep red. Virginia and Colorado both voted for Bush by wide margins in 2000 and 2004 then overnight both went far left.

Predicting what state will do what in the 2030s is throwing darts at a dartboard.

IMO the 92 election was determined by Ross Perot. Without him Clinton can’t win… whether he was genuine or not I don’t know but most of his positions and rhetoric appealed to conservative and moderate voters who would’ve almost certainly gone for papa Bush despite his squishiness… no one ever voted for papa Bush enthusiastically. I know I didn’t…. The only enthusiastic prez votes of my lifetime have been for Reagan and Trump… all others I held my nose

I was not paying attention to politics back then (I was 16 and my little bubble was school and sports), but I don't think conservatives stayed home. I thought conservatives broke from the GOP and voted for Perot.

1992 election results:

Clinton: 44,909,889 (43.0%)
HW Bush: 39,104,550 (37.5%)
Perot: 19,743,821 (18.9%)

Give Perot's votes to HW Bush and Bush has 56.4% of the vote.

Bernie was trying to defend the Soviet centralized economy in spite of not having a clue of what he was talking about since he is monumentally stupid. The Soviet economy required minimal choice since it could only be functional if production and consumption choices were simplified. The Soviet economics was very much the Physics joke about the "spherical cow" since radical simplification was the only way it could be manipulated successfully.
This destroys all the market signals, however and even the Soviets required an exterior pricing benchmark, which they got from Hong Kong

This, again, assumes that Perot’s voters would have supported Bush.

I worked at the University of San Diego when they hosted one of the debates in 1996 when Perot was excluded. The school is located on a hill next to a very deep and steep ravine. Perot’s supporters, just before the debate, burned Perot’s name into the other side of the ravine in an attempt to force the news media to address Perot’s exclusion.

Neither Bush, nor Dole, nor Clinton inspired that kind of enthusiasm.

214 The waffling and word games are in full swing around deportations. This "worst of the worst" and "criminal illegal alien" crap is not a substitute for Deport Them All. And I don't love shady-ass R's like Michael McCaul (TX) telling me what I will or won't put up with. It's the "not who we are" crap from the purple lips of BHO.

215 The Spanish Inquisition (1478–1853): This tribunal, authorized by the Pope, intensely persecuted "Conversos."

Actually, the "inquisition" was an attempt by the Pope to slow down the BS happening in Spain, with Catholicism thrown into the middle of it. It was a political fight that used religion as a weapon. The Pope tried to blunt that weapon. I have a fair amount of complaints about popes in general, this isn't one of them.

218 The UK's death spiral has been well chronicled by Mark Steyn. He identifies Keir Starmer as evil and observes that "In today's Britain , everything is policed except crime", meaning the police can and do arrest you for assembly, for protest, for a tweet. Meanwhile, grooming gangs roam the cities, raping innocent girls.
We must not follow the UK's decline

226 The concern about assimilation in the US is a bit misplaced. Democrats were writing about replacement theory back in the 50s and it ramped up after LBJ solidified the black vote with the great society. The hispanics wiped that out. Hispanics in fact are assimilating rapidly, and they hate the illegal immigration as much as we do. Their kids and grand kids increasingly do not even speak Spanish.

The dot Indians will be forced to give up their clannish ways because the CRA of 64 makes their business practices illegal. That is starting to happen now.

The real issue is Islam. We are going to struggle with that issue. Islam is incompatible with the West, and the US in particular. They will not assimilate. They are going to have to be aggressively managed. And all immigration from Muslim majority needs to be ended.

234 Examples of a majority culture being subjugated by invading cultures then eventually reclaiming themselves:

• Judean Diaspora
• Maya
• Armenians
• Mãori (New Zealand)

commonalities:

• written record that keeps the identity alive
• adoptive insulation (ability to navigate about a "foreign" economy)
• language retention (the "OS" of a culture, without it the worldview collapses)

Prognosis:

• Western Civilization is over. - no recovery possible
• forms of Christianity survives as a Diaspora
• forms of Judaism survive similarly.

Your most important vote in a free society is with your money. When you see a business fail (big or small) the people voted. Your stuff wasn't as good as the competition or it was too expensive... Under communism or 15 minute cities you literally have to be supplied for decades with failed businesses. Normally you would take your business elsewhere.

This is the same problem with health care networks. They are literally monopolies that don't have to perform to survive.

That election was surrounded with unusual. Perot didn't want to win he wanted Bush to lose. Bush was a terrible candidate. It was like Jeb against Donald. Clinton was light, fast and charismatic; Bush was not. Bush was phoning it is against the personality of a celebrity.

Like us knowing that Obama was everything he turned out to be. Those of us that watched knew that Clinton was a disruptive crook. Others believed what he said and thought he was a fresh look.

243 Fascinating interview with Liz Truss can be found on Youtube, with (IIRC) Winston Marshall.

In essence: she tried to enact pro-British policies, and was defenestrated with head-spinning speed.

She said she knew the system was corrupt, but was shocked by HOW entrenched the quisling system was, and how little actual power the Prime Ministers have. If the Blob is against you, you can't even get a postage stamp design approved.

244 "Sound familiar?"

Not quite.

The UK is doomed, they have a soon to be minority, *disarmed* white population that isn't going to fare well against rather heavily armed hostile foreigners (knife and gun laws are thinly enforced if you are named some variant of mohamed). Those who can't or won't leave will eventually get Rwanda'ed.

Here in the US non-lefty Americans are the most heavily armed civilian population in history.

Progs in both places want the same game plan but the ones here have failed spectacularly at disarmament, and that will make a big difference.

245 Parliamentary systems are seemingly designed to ensure voters can’t actually change anything. In anything less than a total annihilation, the should have been ousted parties just make a coalition and shut out the ‘winning’ party. It’s disheartening that Britain, Canada, and Australia all are going fully fascist towards their own citizens.

I think Britain’s only hope is to hang their entire government and then urge the immigrants to leave by the next available transport. If they keep tolerating their government, their government will end them.
