Excellent if depressing summary of where we are are now and where we are heading. We have papered the cracks for some time, as the globalist and multicultural visions only work if we think we are getting more prosperous. We have cheap flights, TVs and Netflix to keep us happy while jumping on a bandwagon of rising property prices. That era is now going into reverse. As more and more people realise that ‘something is not right’ and our great and good have sold us a lie, things will get a lot worse.
We need a “de-blairisation” program of all British institutions (including the Tory party) akin to de baathication or de de nazification. Possibly with some show trials thrown in.
I keep saying this. Democracy is the thing that keeps these people from getting their neck stretched, but they refuse to allow democracy to function. They get what they have coming.
Exactly. Here in the the US I talk about that all the time. I have no problem with whatever form criminal justice has to take, but we must have criminal justice.
We hire government to take care of these things, but our governments have been taken over by academic theorists who don’t know how to actually do anything.
I must somewhat disagree, our governments have not been taken over by academic theorists, but by criminals. Those collaborators who don't actively wish us harm are still yet making a bloody fortune off the public theft called the migration and resettlement racket.
I'd like to see Blair indicted for whichever many of his untold crimes against the State (and other states) seems most likely to succeed in his conviction, and imprisoned for life with all his assets distrained. This would send a message to everyone in power that detroying the polity has consequences
The unflushable turd that is Tony Blair, and the birth of the North London ‘uman rights lawyer which started all this nonsense needs to be swept away vigorously.
The Tories could have done this, and seemed as if they were going to, but suddenly the wind went out of that balloon? Why?
Was it that the accretion of the Blob created in the Civil Service of the Blair era somehow put the Kybosh on it, or was it that the Tories thought they could use it to their own advantage?
All the dreadful legislation dreamed up by New Labour, the leakage of power to NGO’s and QUANGO’s the creation of the manufactured Supreme Court and castration of Parliament has to be swept away.
All the woke stuff, and idiotic stuff such as degrees needed for nursing or policing careers has to stop, especially the Blair Pox of university education for any Tom, Dick, or Harriet who can get a loan. Our artesian skills are withering away, we no longer have kids growing up to be carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers, electricians instead we have the vain hope of a degree in football studies, social media, influencers, etc. with a vast student loan debt.
All things created by the Blair government.
Only the return of power to the people, through a renewed parliament and a new political party is going to achieve this.
I don’t know if Reform UK, or any of the other nascent parties are going to be the ones to do this, but by God something has to change dramatically and quickly, or our beloved country is sunk.
And the fucking useless politicians are the ones who poked a hole in the ship of State.
who's the "we" here kemosabe? Most of us don't want that. We don't want our country to become unrecognisable, to have levels of street crime equivalent to developing world countries and to be taxed to penury to pay for it. The unelected portions of British state since Blair at least are unshakeable and continue down this path but don't mistake that for what the poor dumb voters actually want. That's why we are in deep deep trouble - show me who to vote for that will actually give us what we want for a change.
Vote? Democracy with unlimited franchise is designed to enable your enemies to vote themselves into power.
It accomplishes the aims of war without using the weapons of war - it is war without weapons, culture war. And all your lands, all your fine manors, all your fair-haired daughters are belong to us.
"She told cabinet: ‘While Britain was a successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith country...'"
There is not, has not been, and probably cannot be such a thing as "a successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith country".
If any evidence is needed, a quick glance at the USA should suffice. Having virtually exterminated the indigenous people, the USA was promoted as the world's first wholly synthetic nation, where anyone who came from anywhere could become a citizen (and supposedly thrive). The consequence is that today it is a seething mess of resentment, hatred, and envy, continually heated by the flame of racial differences (and the deliberate, unblushing pretence of democracy and equal opportunity).
The UK has for nearly a century been following the USA down the tubes.
I think the USA was OK when it was populated by pioneers from different European (Christian) countries. They built the country. The problems started when they were successful and allowed third world gimmegrants to freeload there after WW2. Hmm, seems to have been the same pattern here.
Agreed. And even then, the US had a decades-long moratorium on immigration after the great waves in the early 1900s in order to assimilate the masses. Things started going south when the border was re-opened starting in the 1960s. It's time for another total immigration moratorium (both illegal AND legal) in the US.
After 1881, when certain folk assassinated the Tsar Alexander, they fled in droves to America. We got anarchists, bombings, presidential assassinations, union riots, and Emma Goldstein's poem demanding the poor and huddled masses tacked onto the Statue of Liberty. We also got the Federal Reserve, the income tax, and World Wars.
In 1924, we reinstituted a migration moratorium that returned us to the original racial limits of 1791; unfortunately, that certain folk were counted as European, due to their places of birth, and continued tunneling away with Leo Strauss on the right and the Frankfurt School on the left.
Theirs also chipped away for 40 years with single-minded dedication at the 1924 Immigration Act; we got Civil Rights abrogating our Constitution with the return of class privilege, the Cultural Revolution of the 60s, and the plethora of social ills rampant today as our reward. Who again, is the hidden heart of the Replacement Migration?
In other words, our gullibility and generosity had earned their gratitude, paid out in historically typical fashion. Look ye, our brothers, to the City of London with its Bank of England, and take not their bitter coin.
The USA is much less far down the tubes than the UK and the EU. By far. There is no seething racial hatred here, except in the minds of the liberal intelligentsia on the coasts who look down on ordinary Americans. Out here in flyover country, we mostly don’t care what color you are and nor who you fuck. It’s a fever dream of certain of our elites who hate this country, just as you seem to, from a distance. No, the American experiment was not a failure no matter how many bumps in the road you point at. And we’re just as fed up with the arrogance of those who rule us. We’re not going down without a fight because we never have. Not so sure about Europe. Perhaps because everyone with fighting spirit left two centuries ago.
Actually, the woke/DEI machine originated in Germany (Frankfurt) as really just another branch of Marxism. And,unlike Britian, we here in the US are actively dismanteling the DEI/ESG/woke machine. Trump was elected specifically for his ability to destroy the Marxist infestation. Trump is a DEI/ESG/woke wrecking ball and the vast majority of Americans are cheering him on!!
In contrast, the British government has abandoned its native citizens and culture in favor of the violent, misogynistic Islamists who are intent on turning England into a new Califate. We Americans mourn the fall of Britian.
If you are talking about the Frankfurt school then that was before WWII and years before the rise of DEI in the US, which was then exported back to Europe. Mostly in the last few years, most of the anti white rhetoric comes from the US academic system.
I skipped some steps for the sake of brevity, but the Frankfurt school of Marxism was the origin for what we now call woke. The anti-white rhetoric came from the post-colonial theorists, with Fanon, a French man, being the first to write about the whole oppressed/oppressor dynamic. Certainly academics working in the US took Fanon's original work and ran with it, creating the monster it is today, but I don't believe that the US should bear all the blame.
Its interesting to note that the US professors who initially expanded the post-colonial/woke theory are immigrants, not native born Americans. As I was writing this reply, I was thinking how contrary the post-colonial theory is to the ethos and mentality of Americans, so that it made sense to me that the theory was created and propagated by non-native American professors. That thought also gives me greater hope or belief that the US will be able to more-quickly remove the pernicious effects of the woke agenda from our society.
That sounds like childish petulance rather than any kind of argument. Let me give you an few examples. 1) the English football team is debating whether it should take the knee anymore. That ridiculous practice is from the George Floyd incident which shouldn’t even be on the newspapers here in Britain. 2) Biden attacked Hungary numerous times during his term merely because it was nationalist 3) the state department interferes in European politics by exporting its social science models. Macron says “ Certain social science theories entirely imported from the United States,” and “ French politicians, high-profile intellectuals and journalists are warning that progressive American ideas — specifically on race, gender, post-colonialism — are undermining their society. “There’s a battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from American universities,’’ warned Mr. Macron’s education minister.”
Wow. I’m impressed. Not. 1) debating not taking the knee while shoving the grooming scandal under the carpet 2) the EU has usurped the sovereignty of its members and democracy is a hollow word because no one can vote them out - but Biden criticized Hungary for nationalism? That’s evidence of what exactly? That Biden was a globalist stooge on behalf of Brussels autocrats? 3) France is worried about US social science models? That’s hilarious given their no go zones and Islamic terrorist problem eroding the once powerful French culture. 4) but do go on. I love reading about how evil America is from those with worse problems than ours.
What assails us has festered in many places - but yes, the US is the strongest Janissary. Our Pax Americana was thought to have ended the wars between our own in Europe - but what it did instead, was erase the martial traditions necessary for their survival. Europa has been subjugated, we are the Olympians throwing over our Titan parents, and delivering them to a terrible evil.
This bullshit came out of Europe (France) and was simply processed, scaled up, and repackaged before being exported back across the pond. For decades the US was lampooned in Europe as something of a post-Apartheid South Africa at best, with cops simply opening fire into crowds of anybody with tan skin or darker on a regular basis. Perhaps you lot should’ve just shut the fuck up?
The postmodernists shouldn’t have spewed critical theory bile all over academia in the first place. Blame Foucault.
Grape Soda is left wing and the left say things like. Black Americans vote across racial lines. Hispanics also but to a lesser extent and whites not at all. That is not a sustainable position for whites hence turmoil of past decade.
During the Cold War US troops used to say that all the good Germans died in the war. I have been wondering if that wasn’t the case for all of Europe for a while now.
Uh no. We are a nation of 330 million and you may speak for some but not most. Libertarianism is not popular anymore. Demographics is destiny and as the anglo numbers have gone down the anti white rhetoric rises. White babies in Texas are already the minority on track to become more imbalanced. Once the boomers go things will get interesting.
One is being erased openly, the other one quietly. Yet this one has no sympathy for his own kith and kin, for even our own Mother, hoping that his colorblindness will spare him.
Living by the values handed you by your mortal enemies will not save you.
Without fail, these alien tribes behave exactly as tribes do — they favour their own, in every situation, instinctively, without question and without analysis.
The solution is simple: Always side with your own people. In all things, whenever possible.
Tribe up or die, White man - not from desire, but from desperate necessity. Only 740 million of us left, white women only 4%, white children only 3% - in 1940 we were near one third of global population. You cannot imagine the consequences of our loss.
It wasn’t that they wanted to exterminate them but we were almost wholly incompatible culturally with them. Different social norms lead to a lot of misunderstandings.
I think that is a very charitable interpretation. Probably most of the settlers weren't consciously resolved to wipe out the "Indians". But they weren't going to let them stand in their way, either. Very often the same pattern repeated: the whites (or some of them) attacked the Native Americans, often killing women and children. Naturally the Native Americans retaliated as best they could, whereupon the cry went up, "Vicious heathen savages! All they know is torture and murder! This won't be a civilised country until every last one is 'gone'!"
"The proud spirit of the original owners of these vast prairies inherited through centuries of fierce and bloody wars for their possession, lingered last in the bosom of Sitting Bull. With his fall the nobility of the Redskin is extinguished, and what few are left are a pack of whining curs who lick the hand that smites them. The Whites, by law of conquest, by justice of civilization, are masters of the American continent, and the best safety of the frontier settlements will be secured by the total annihilation of the few remaining Indians. Why not annihilation? Their glory has fled, their spirit broken, their manhood effaced; better that they die than live the miserable wretches that they are".
"The nigger, like the Injun, will be eliminated: it is the law of races, history, what-not: always so far inexorable—always to be. Someone proves that a superior grade of rats comes and then all the minor rats are cleared out".
"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place".
"Why is there harsh injustice done if people come in and make a livelihood for more, and make the desert into palm groves and orange groves? Why is it injustice because there is more work and wealth for everybody? There is no injustice. The injustice is when those who live in the country leave it to be desert for thousands of years".
- Winston Churchill, addressing the Peel Commission on 12/3/1937. He proposed that all Palestine be turned over to the Jews. (David Irving, “Churchill’s War”).
You replaced one charitable interpretation with another. Whites attacked and natives defended? That’s the feel good story of the noble savage. The fact is, this land was vast, and whites wanted to populate it. Conflicts happened, but to assume any given tribe acted any differently before whites got here is delusional. They were just as likely to have conflicts with each other over land. Yes, your selection of quotes shows that white people believed their heritage and civilization made them superior. But did not the indigenous believe the same? But they were outnumbered and lost the contest. Hence little literature extolling the superiority of their way of life. Exception guilty white folks who project their own circumstances and attitudes on the past. Is it really necessary to ignore Native American savagery towards whites because you feel bad that your ancestors carved a western style civilization out of what was wide open sparsely settled territory?
The big difference was that the Native Americans inhabited the land for over 10,000 years without damaging the environment or allowing overpopulation. On the contrary, they lived in harmony with the rest of the living world.
The whites (as you say) wanted to inhabit the whole of the "vast" land. That left no room for Native Americans, buffalo, or most of the original fauna and flora. Today, after a few centuries, they have managed to create serious overpopulation with its concomitant shortages, pollution, and conflict.
In retrospect it's obvious which people were more truly civilised.
Utter hypocrisy from the likes of you ‘they were noble people and we are uncivilized and immoral’ yet here you are benefiting from their blood and sacrifice. Please tell if you would prefer dancing the powwow or having scalps hanging from your belt conducting midnight raids on neighboring tribes?
For a start, I am not a US citizen so I have no stake in the matter. Your references to "dancing the powwow" and "having scalps hanging from your belt" demonstrate very slight knowledge of the Native American societies.
And, obviously, white European colonists would not have run any risk of harm from Native Americans had they stayed in Europe. Or even stayed in their own settlements and observed to the many agreements they made with the Native Americans, virtually all of which they broke as soon as it suited them.
And yet the regime that cannot stop the small boats plots and plans to destabalise a vastly more powerful nuclear armed nation exhibiting the 'sovereignty' so sadly lacking in itself.
The regime seems to find enough power to persecute and make examples of regular people, that's for sure (see those like Lucy Connolly in UK and the J6 defendants in US).
When we contemplate that all parts of our regime appear to have become and remain drunk on the Globalist Kool-Aid, and that the availability of any Parliamentary solution is clearly well beyond the probable point of implosion, it begs the critical question, WHO can deliver us from this descent into Hell?
The extreme point on the Blairite journey that we’ve reached has brought the majority of the British population (extra-regime) to demand profound change and yearn for that change to be peaceful, as it largely has been in the past 300+ years.
But, unfortunately, these are unprecedented times (well beyond the “simple” issues of economic incompetence of the 1970s) and it seems that, despite the felt-powerlessness of the regime to defend our borders, the most likely next phase of this catastrophe may involve a further (step-change) descent into repression of the most active and vocal representatives of that majority - an oppression from which our forefathers fought and died to deliver us. Any objective observer knows that we are already witnessing the baby steps of such tyranny.
Which of course, likely will make the ultimate reaction still more explosive.
Nope. He's not the Messiah he's a slop merchant. Pathologically unable to delegate or play nice with smart people. Couldn't build a team if his country depended on it (and it does).
How important is it that councils are seen as pandering to new groups and not enforcing little things like they did before?
Since I’ve worked, they’ve always been pedantic and overly strict, making it almost impossible for anyone to do anything in town without getting fined.
They’d punish people for simply putting chairs or signs out on the street.
But now, suddenly, all sorts of shops have sprung up that go against their beloved rules, seemingly with no consequences.
There’s this shisha bar that’s basically made out of plywood, chicken wire and a patio door!
It feels like the council hides behind being merely ‘the council,’ but really, they’re just government officials.
"It feels like the council hides behind being merely ‘the council,’ but really, they’re just government officials." I suspect that will get worse when they centralise power and become large unitary authorities; they will be further removed from local people's concerns and the results of their decisions.
Of course it isn't just immigration where the blairites are screwing things up. There's also energy, which is of course rather fundamental to the national survival, and which Milliband and co are making much much worse - https://davidturver.substack.com/p/miliband-wreck-economy-with-ar7
Not just a sane immigration policy but a removal of the thousands of illegals from our towns and cities, a reinstatement of the Christian values traditionally associated with Britain, a repudiation of the Islamic religion, a clearing out of the establishment of the wokeness that infects everything. More is needed than just the removal of the current government - a total repudiation of the globalisation programme and all that goes with it. I'm not holding my breath waiting for any current public or political figure to take on the task!
The current regime (including recent Conservative administrations too) exudes a mixture of incompetence and authoritarianism disturbingly like pre-revolutionary France and Russia. Either would be bad, but both together is fatal. To fail to govern while repressing dissent is a recipe for disaster, but like Tsar Nicholas II, the Labour Party still seems convinced that the "peasants" love them and believe in their divine right to rule and that they will support them no matter what.
Writing of pre-revolutionary France, Alexis de Tocqueville argued that the most dangerous moment for a regime is when it tries to reform (or Reform), as it raises expectations that can't be met in the short-term. It seems quite clear to me that this is what will happen when (or if...) any attempt to change things is made. I say "if," because I think the regime will use every legal or extra-legal trick it can to prevent any serious challenge at the ballot box, both in terms of lawfare against Farage/Reform of the kind we've seen a number of times in the USA and Europe and some kind of electoral pact between left-wing parties or even a "stop Reform" super-coalition of the left. Naturally, all the slogans about "far-right politics" will be mouthed to justify this.
Even if, somehow, a government genuinely committed to solving the problem of immigration gets into power, the technocracy still holds the bureaucracy and judiciary and will use them to block action, while using the legacy media and academia to justify its anti-democratic actions (cf. Brexit). This will be a long-term struggle over a decade or two, like the Thatcher Revolution, and I'm not sure our feverish politics in the age of social media has the staying power for that.

It isn’t just the political classes who are morally bankrupt there is a deeper cultural problem.
Journalists imo have become the new priests fingerwagging the public about social media use or ‘invisible disabilities’ - they appear to think that their job is to educate the public into being ‘kinder’ or ‘better’
It's possible that things won't get better. Britain is still a relatively first world place to live, although worsening at an alarming rate. There's an awful lot further to fall than there is to climb and greater civilizations have simply faded away in similar circumstances.
Fascinating that Rayner's ghost-writer thinks de-industrialisation is the cause of the problem. That happened over forty years ago. Are they really still blaming this on Thatcher?
As you say, spending money is easy, especially if the money comes from the Magic Money Tree. Especially if the interest in how the money is actually spent fades with the morning dew. Especially if there is no post-audit of the effectiveness of the spend. Job done? I don't think so.
Do a 'Greece'... suspend accepting asylum seekers and economic migrants for at least 3 months, probably more, until the situation is under control. Tell the 'illegal' hopefuls that they will be imprisoned or deported - without fail - during this period. Ensure that we avoid the legal ambulance chasing by excluding these actions from the EHCR oversight.
This would not be the complete answer but it would be an 'action' rather than some line in the accounts. People might start believing in sovereignty again, and other necessary reforms become more possible.
Do I believe that a Labour government can even conceive of such things? No, and too many Labour MPs would baulk at it to pass legislation. So we need a new Parliament.
This is a comment on your recent market research. I think you needed more open-ended questions as the tickbox answers you offered did not capture much nuance. The question about frequency and paywall (very important to you, no doubt, but much less to your subscribers) gave two not very different options. I subscribe not to get a certain number of essays, or even to get behind the paywall, but because I believe you are worth supporting. The only thing you have to do as far as I am concerned is to keep up the quality (and, obviously, a sufficient quantity to maintain some continuity). I don’t even count how many articles you write per week. One boring, substandard article would do much more damage to your standing in my eyes than slightly fewer posts.
Thanks, Judy. That makes a great deal of sense. Sadly, the polling options on Substack don't really allow freeform responses (unless I'm missing something!).
Excellent if depressing summary of where we are are now and where we are heading.

I was rather thinking if Israel did run the UK it might do so more efficiently and with more regard for its citizens and its borders. Dream on.
We need a “de-blairisation” program of all British institutions (including the Tory party) akin to de baathication or de de nazification. Possibly with some show trials thrown in.
And public hangings. You forgot that. Make it clear that trying this again gets you a short lived dance at the end of a rope.
I keep saying this. Democracy is the thing that keeps these people from getting their neck stretched, but they refuse to allow democracy to function. They get what they have coming.
Yep. It’s like the job of the police is to arrest the criminals before the mob gets to them. Something that also isn’t happening
Exactly. Here in the the US I talk about that all the time. I have no problem with whatever form criminal justice has to take, but we must have criminal justice.
We hire government to take care of these things, but our governments have been taken over by academic theorists who don’t know how to actually do anything.

Stalinist purge needed. Tell me otherwise.
Public hangings are always a good idea. Very cathartic.
Quite. A Reform/ other non uniparty government needs that attitude
All very well, but the judges are the very foundations that this shambolic temple are built on.
How do you dig up that solid concrete raft, so that another shambolic house doesn't go up without proper planning?

Not true. But keep your fantasy. I don’t care. I only care when someone has an actual insight or experience to share. You obviously don’t.
That sounds like childish petulance rather than any kind of argument. Let me give you an few examples. 1) the English football team is debating whether it should take the knee anymore. That ridiculous practice is from the George Floyd incident which shouldn’t even be on the newspapers here in Britain. 2) Biden attacked Hungary numerous times during his term merely because it was nationalist 3) the state department interferes in European politics by exporting its social science models. Macron says “ Certain social science theories entirely imported from the United States,” and “ French politicians, high-profile intellectuals and journalists are warning that progressive American ideas — specifically on race, gender, post-colonialism — are undermining their society. “There’s a battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from American universities,’’ warned Mr. Macron’s education minister.”
All from the NYT. Numerous other example.
Wow. I’m impressed. Not. 1) debating not taking the knee while shoving the grooming scandal under the carpet 2) the EU has usurped the sovereignty of its members and democracy is a hollow word because no one can vote them out - but Biden criticized Hungary for nationalism? That’s evidence of what exactly? That Biden was a globalist stooge on behalf of Brussels autocrats? 3) France is worried about US social science models? That’s hilarious given their no go zones and Islamic terrorist problem eroding the once powerful French culture. 4) but do go on. I love reading about how evil America is from those with worse problems than ours.
What assails us has festered in many places - but yes, the US is the strongest Janissary. Our Pax Americana was thought to have ended the wars between our own in Europe - but what it did instead, was erase the martial traditions necessary for their survival. Europa has been subjugated, we are the Olympians throwing over our Titan parents, and delivering them to a terrible evil.
This bullshit came out of Europe (France) and was simply processed, scaled up, and repackaged before being exported back across the pond. For decades the US was lampooned in Europe as something of a post-Apartheid South Africa at best, with cops simply opening fire into crowds of anybody with tan skin or darker on a regular basis. Perhaps you lot should’ve just shut the fuck up?
The postmodernists shouldn’t have spewed critical theory bile all over academia in the first place. Blame Foucault.
Isn’t it actually from the French?
"nor who you fuck"
Why does everything have to be worded like this? Just another symptom.
Grape Soda's comment was well written, but stained by the unnecessary vulgarity.
Vulgarity is sometimes appropriate. No apology.
Symptom of what? Perhaps of a generation that prefers safety and lies to frankness and reality?
Grape Soda is left wing and the left say things like. Black Americans vote across racial lines. Hispanics also but to a lesser extent and whites not at all. That is not a sustainable position for whites hence turmoil of past decade.
During the Cold War US troops used to say that all the good Germans died in the war. I have been wondering if that wasn’t the case for all of Europe for a while now.
Uh no. We are a nation of 330 million and you may speak for some but not most. Libertarianism is not popular anymore. Demographics is destiny and as the anglo numbers have gone down the anti white rhetoric rises. White babies in Texas are already the minority on track to become more imbalanced. Once the boomers go things will get interesting.
One is being erased openly, the other one quietly. Yet this one has no sympathy for his own kith and kin, for even our own Mother, hoping that his colorblindness will spare him.
Living by the values handed you by your mortal enemies will not save you.
Without fail, these alien tribes behave exactly as tribes do — they favour their own, in every situation, instinctively, without question and without analysis.
The solution is simple: Always side with your own people. In all things, whenever possible.
Tribe up or die, White man - not from desire, but from desperate necessity. Only 740 million of us left, white women only 4%, white children only 3% - in 1940 we were near one third of global population. You cannot imagine the consequences of our loss.
Obama was the consequence, and the undoing of the USA. Their Blair.
100%
It wasn’t that they wanted to exterminate them but we were almost wholly incompatible culturally with them. Different social norms lead to a lot of misunderstandings.
I think that is a very charitable interpretation. Probably most of the settlers weren't consciously resolved to wipe out the "Indians". But they weren't going to let them stand in their way, either. Very often the same pattern repeated: the whites (or some of them) attacked the Native Americans, often killing women and children. Naturally the Native Americans retaliated as best they could, whereupon the cry went up, "Vicious heathen savages! All they know is torture and murder! This won't be a civilised country until every last one is 'gone'!"
"The proud spirit of the original owners of these vast prairies inherited through centuries of fierce and bloody wars for their possession, lingered last in the bosom of Sitting Bull. With his fall the nobility of the Redskin is extinguished, and what few are left are a pack of whining curs who lick the hand that smites them. The Whites, by law of conquest, by justice of civilization, are masters of the American continent, and the best safety of the frontier settlements will be secured by the total annihilation of the few remaining Indians. Why not annihilation? Their glory has fled, their spirit broken, their manhood effaced; better that they die than live the miserable wretches that they are".

"The nigger, like the Injun, will be eliminated: it is the law of races, history, what-not: always so far inexorable—always to be. Someone proves that a superior grade of rats comes and then all the minor rats are cleared out".

"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place".
- Sir Winston Churchill, addressing the Peel Commission https://balfourproject.org/right-the-wrongs/
"Why is there harsh injustice done if people come in and make a livelihood for more, and make the desert into palm groves and orange groves? Why is it injustice because there is more work and wealth for everybody? There is no injustice. The injustice is when those who live in the country leave it to be desert for thousands of years".
- Winston Churchill, addressing the Peel Commission on 12/3/1937. He proposed that all Palestine be turned over to the Jews. (David Irving, “Churchill’s War”).
You replaced one charitable interpretation with another. Whites attacked and natives defended? That’s the feel good story of the noble savage. The fact is, this land was vast, and whites wanted to populate it. Conflicts happened, but to assume any given tribe acted any differently before whites got here is delusional. They were just as likely to have conflicts with each other over land. Yes, your selection of quotes shows that white people believed their heritage and civilization made them superior. But did not the indigenous believe the same? But they were outnumbered and lost the contest. Hence little literature extolling the superiority of their way of life. Exception guilty white folks who project their own circumstances and attitudes on the past. Is it really necessary to ignore Native American savagery towards whites because you feel bad that your ancestors carved a western style civilization out of what was wide open sparsely settled territory?
The big difference was that the Native Americans inhabited the land for over 10,000 years without damaging the environment or allowing overpopulation. On the contrary, they lived in harmony with the rest of the living world.
The whites (as you say) wanted to inhabit the whole of the "vast" land. That left no room for Native Americans, buffalo, or most of the original fauna and flora. Today, after a few centuries, they have managed to create serious overpopulation with its concomitant shortages, pollution, and conflict.
In retrospect it's obvious which people were more truly civilised.
Utter hypocrisy from the likes of you ‘they were noble people and we are uncivilized and immoral’ yet here you are benefiting from their blood and sacrifice. Please tell if you would prefer dancing the powwow or having scalps hanging from your belt conducting midnight raids on neighboring tribes?
For a start, I am not a US citizen so I have no stake in the matter. Your references to "dancing the powwow" and "having scalps hanging from your belt" demonstrate very slight knowledge of the Native American societies.
And, obviously, white European colonists would not have run any risk of harm from Native Americans had they stayed in Europe. Or even stayed in their own settlements and observed to the many agreements they made with the Native Americans, virtually all of which they broke as soon as it suited them.
And yet the regime that cannot stop the small boats plots and plans to destabalise a vastly more powerful nuclear armed nation exhibiting the 'sovereignty' so sadly lacking in itself.
The regime seems to find enough power to persecute and make examples of regular people, that's for sure (see those like Lucy Connolly in UK and the J6 defendants in US).
Many thanks David. Very interesting, as always.
When we contemplate that all parts of our regime appear to have become and remain drunk on the Globalist Kool-Aid, and that the availability of any Parliamentary solution is clearly well beyond the probable point of implosion, it begs the critical question, WHO can deliver us from this descent into Hell?
The extreme point on the Blairite journey that we’ve reached has brought the majority of the British population (extra-regime) to demand profound change and yearn for that change to be peaceful, as it largely has been in the past 300+ years.
But, unfortunately, these are unprecedented times (well beyond the “simple” issues of economic incompetence of the 1970s) and it seems that, despite the felt-powerlessness of the regime to defend our borders, the most likely next phase of this catastrophe may involve a further (step-change) descent into repression of the most active and vocal representatives of that majority - an oppression from which our forefathers fought and died to deliver us. Any objective observer knows that we are already witnessing the baby steps of such tyranny.
Which of course, likely will make the ultimate reaction still more explosive.
I'm an American, but have been following developments in the UK for years now. Is someone like Nigel Farage even up for the role as deliverer?
Nope. He's not the Messiah he's a slop merchant. Pathologically unable to delegate or play nice with smart people. Couldn't build a team if his country depended on it (and it does).
How important is it that councils are seen as pandering to new groups and not enforcing little things like they did before?
Since I’ve worked, they’ve always been pedantic and overly strict, making it almost impossible for anyone to do anything in town without getting fined.
They’d punish people for simply putting chairs or signs out on the street.
But now, suddenly, all sorts of shops have sprung up that go against their beloved rules, seemingly with no consequences.
There’s this shisha bar that’s basically made out of plywood, chicken wire and a patio door!
It feels like the council hides behind being merely ‘the council,’ but really, they’re just government officials.
"It feels like the council hides behind being merely ‘the council,’ but really, they’re just government officials." I suspect that will get worse when they centralise power and become large unitary authorities; they will be further removed from local people's concerns and the results of their decisions.
Again, asking this as an American, is what we see on shows like "Clarkson's Farm" a true reflection of "the council" and how it works?
Of course it isn't just immigration where the blairites are screwing things up. There's also energy, which is of course rather fundamental to the national survival, and which Milliband and co are making much much worse - https://davidturver.substack.com/p/miliband-wreck-economy-with-ar7
Yes, I love how Rayner mentions as one of the factors in the current state of things, "a rapid deindustrialization." How did that happen, minister?
Rayner and others always neglect to admit that the solution to government caused problems is NEVER more government
Not just a sane immigration policy but a removal of the thousands of illegals from our towns and cities, a reinstatement of the Christian values traditionally associated with Britain, a repudiation of the Islamic religion, a clearing out of the establishment of the wokeness that infects everything. More is needed than just the removal of the current government - a total repudiation of the globalisation programme and all that goes with it. I'm not holding my breath waiting for any current public or political figure to take on the task!
The current regime (including recent Conservative administrations too) exudes a mixture of incompetence and authoritarianism disturbingly like pre-revolutionary France and Russia. Either would be bad, but both together is fatal. To fail to govern while repressing dissent is a recipe for disaster, but like Tsar Nicholas II, the Labour Party still seems convinced that the "peasants" love them and believe in their divine right to rule and that they will support them no matter what.
Writing of pre-revolutionary France, Alexis de Tocqueville argued that the most dangerous moment for a regime is when it tries to reform (or Reform), as it raises expectations that can't be met in the short-term. It seems quite clear to me that this is what will happen when (or if...) any attempt to change things is made. I say "if," because I think the regime will use every legal or extra-legal trick it can to prevent any serious challenge at the ballot box, both in terms of lawfare against Farage/Reform of the kind we've seen a number of times in the USA and Europe and some kind of electoral pact between left-wing parties or even a "stop Reform" super-coalition of the left. Naturally, all the slogans about "far-right politics" will be mouthed to justify this.
Even if, somehow, a government genuinely committed to solving the problem of immigration gets into power, the technocracy still holds the bureaucracy and judiciary and will use them to block action, while using the legacy media and academia to justify its anti-democratic actions (cf. Brexit). This will be a long-term struggle over a decade or two, like the Thatcher Revolution, and I'm not sure our feverish politics in the age of social media has the staying power for that.

THIS!!!!!
It isn’t just the political classes who are morally bankrupt there is a deeper cultural problem.
Journalists imo have become the new priests fingerwagging the public about social media use or ‘invisible disabilities’ - they appear to think that their job is to educate the public into being ‘kinder’ or ‘better’
It's possible that things won't get better. Britain is still a relatively first world place to live, although worsening at an alarming rate. There's an awful lot further to fall than there is to climb and greater civilizations have simply faded away in similar circumstances.
Fascinating that Rayner's ghost-writer thinks de-industrialisation is the cause of the problem. That happened over forty years ago. Are they really still blaming this on Thatcher?
Yes they are 🙄
Well we’ll no doubt find out when the public inquiry into the battle of orgreave publishes its findings
"And this government has a…plan?"
As you say, spending money is easy, especially if the money comes from the Magic Money Tree. Especially if the interest in how the money is actually spent fades with the morning dew. Especially if there is no post-audit of the effectiveness of the spend. Job done? I don't think so.
Do a 'Greece'... suspend accepting asylum seekers and economic migrants for at least 3 months, probably more, until the situation is under control. Tell the 'illegal' hopefuls that they will be imprisoned or deported - without fail - during this period. Ensure that we avoid the legal ambulance chasing by excluding these actions from the EHCR oversight.
This would not be the complete answer but it would be an 'action' rather than some line in the accounts. People might start believing in sovereignty again, and other necessary reforms become more possible.
Do I believe that a Labour government can even conceive of such things? No, and too many Labour MPs would baulk at it to pass legislation. So we need a new Parliament.
Oh my goodness, think bigger! Suspend "asylum seeking" and economic migrants for the next 5 years, at least.
But, but that would be agreeing with Trump! Never gonna happen . . .
Successive governments have fiddled around the edges while Britain slowly burns
Someone commented on Twitter, it has seemed as though the Regime has hated the working class since at least WW2.
Just like in the US, it seems the elite of major political parties despise the people whom they claim to represent. It's incredible.
Is it because they rejected Churchill ?
This is a comment on your recent market research. I think you needed more open-ended questions as the tickbox answers you offered did not capture much nuance. The question about frequency and paywall (very important to you, no doubt, but much less to your subscribers) gave two not very different options. I subscribe not to get a certain number of essays, or even to get behind the paywall, but because I believe you are worth supporting. The only thing you have to do as far as I am concerned is to keep up the quality (and, obviously, a sufficient quantity to maintain some continuity). I don’t even count how many articles you write per week. One boring, substandard article would do much more damage to your standing in my eyes than slightly fewer posts.
Thanks, Judy. That makes a great deal of sense. Sadly, the polling options on Substack don't really allow freeform responses (unless I'm missing something!).
