He has a point, albeit a very obvious point, and that is so even if “Robinson” is basically “controlled opposition”.
In the end, civilization is created and maintained by iron necessities. It rests easy on the bones of the vanquished. If chaos and evil prevail, the opposite happens; in that case, culture and civilization and everything decent disappears, untermenschen scrabble around atop the ruins of once-great cities, and tread on the bones of those who were civilized and cultured, but just too tolerant of decadence and evil.

“Former Tory voters in Clacton have been switching to Reform UK over Nigel Farage’s stance on immigration.
GB News ventured up to the coastal constituency to get a feel on the ground ahead of Farage’s launch near Clacton Pier.
Immigration was the main issue raised by residents, with the cost-of-living crisis and net zero also salient issues.
Speaking hours before Farage’s arrival, Andrew Humphries told GB News: “Immigration is a massive thing, especially how it impacts on the rest of society.
“I’ve been waiting for a couple of years now for housing. My family has been here for 40 years and I’ve seen the decline of the town.
“You’ve got to help your own first before you look out for others.”
Humphries, who described himself as typically a non-voter, claimed there is a “good chance” Farage will win and argued the two-party system is broken.
Steve Schaffer, who moved to Clacton in 1957, explained his support for Farage.
“This is only a small country,” he claimed. “We’re struggling. We can’t build enough homes. The schools and hospitals are full. It’s reaching bursting point. We’ve got to stop it or slow it down somehow.”
Despite witnessing a dip immediately after the 2016 referendum, the salience of immigration has soared in recent years.
Immigration and asylum is the third most important issue in the minds of Britons, analysis by YouGov has shown.
Rozerin Altin, who was just 18, added: “I’m the oldest of six girls. I don’t want little boys going into girls’ changing rooms. I care about women’s rights. If you care about that then you should vote for Reform UK.“

Immigration generally should be the first and most important issue. The other important matters —economy, pay, State benefits, housing, NHS, public services, educational standards etc— are all affected, hugely, by the migration invasion.
GE 2024
People (including some “experts” etc) were saying until very recently that polling numbers for Con and Lab would converge, as they always have done. Mechanistic, formulaic thinking.
I have disagreed. I still disagree. For me, the main thing is that almost everyone, barring about (?) 10%-20%, most of whom are elderly lifelong Con voters now in their 80s and 90s, has realized that the Sunak/Liz Truss/Boris-idiot/Theresa May/Cameron-Levita Con governments have run the UK into the ground, and have been actually totally useless.
It has been clear to me for quite some time that, barring those ingrained and very elderly Con loyalists (or lifelong habit-voters), almost no-one is going to vote “Conservative” in the upcoming election. Maybe 20%, maybe 15%, or even as low as 10% nationwide. My guess would be about 18%.
The polls are still moving: the Cons are still descending. Labour has slid somewhat from its (?) 49% high to around 40%. The uninspiring prospect of Israel-puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall etc fails to excite many voters, but I doubt whether Labour’s overall vote will be below, or much below, 40% in the end. I am thinking 40% or 42%.
The polling statistics seem clear: Labour beats Con on almost all topics, from economy and NHS through to “best PM” and even immigration. That means that, where there is a straight fight between a Labour candidate and a Conservative Party one, Lab will usually beat Con.
The joker in the pack is Reform UK. The difference in 2024 as compared to UKIP in 2015 and Brexit Party in 2019 is not really in the policy “offering”; that is all but identical. So is the leadership (Farage, mainly). The difference lies in the context.
In 2015, UKIP failed only because it was cheated by the rigged FPTP voting system. 12%+ of the popular vote, yet no seats won. That, and because the full horror of the mass migration invasion was still not understood, in its effects, by enough people.
In 2019, Farage stabbed Brexit Party in the back to help the Con Party achieve its faked “landslide” (43.6% popular vote, about one point above Labour’s “landslide of 1997).
Today, in 2024, things have moved on. Brexit was deliberately mishandled and has been negative in its consequences for that reason.
The immigration tsunami has brought in, quite literally, millions (more) of unwanted non-Europeans since 2015.
We see the “unelected” little Indian money-juggler, Sunak, throwing taxpayer money at both Israel and “Ukraine” (the brutal and dictatorial Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev).
Another aspect is the extent to which UK society has fallen apart since 2015, and especially since the 2020-2022 “panicdemic” or “scamdemic”.
Potholed and unrepaired roads have become “totemic” of it. NHS failings. The continuing migration invasion, of which the “small boats” crossing the Channel (in reality, ferried across by Royal Navy, RNLI, Border “Farce” etc) comprise only about 5% of all immigration. The slow collapse of law and order. The increasing overall cost of living.
Reform UK is still a bit of a one-trick-pony, both in policy and personnel, but it has at least a chance now of getting a handful of MPs.
More importantly, a high popular vote for Reform UK will hole this rotten misgovernment below the waterline, and that is exactly why many (including former Con voters) will vote for it.
In fact, were Labour supporters and LibDem supporters, in seats where either Labour or LibDems have no chance, to vote tactically for the party best placed to beat the Con candidate, or for Reform UK, the Cons might be left with an MP cadre in the single figures.
Well, not long to go now. Exactly 4 weeks (28 days) from today.

In 2008/2009, I wrote and published a restricted-distribution geopolitical study which, inter alia, featured the very important central position of Turkey.
Turkey has various problems, but it also has several strengths. A huge supply of water, firstly. That is very important now. Another asset is the fact that Turkey is a fairly large net food exporting state. That may sound underwhelming, but it means that, if push comes to shove, Turkey can feed itself. A large and efficient military force, too.
Turkey is now moving towards a neutral position, despite its NATO membership.
Another “Israeli” war criminal.
The Israeli state can only do what it does because of its “diaspora” support outside Israel— the Zionist influence in the USA, France, UK etc.

Reform UK is an easy way for people who would never vote Labour to send a message and/or a kick to the Conservative Party.
Talking about giving the Conservative Party a kick…see below
Holden has aged hugely since he (allegedly) groped a woman at a party in 2016; I think that the photo in the report was from 2018, so only 6 years ago. He is still only 39. Hard to believe, looking at him as he now is.
Of course, someone acquitted by a jury supposedly leaves court without a stain on his character…
He is supposedly in a relationship of some kind with the political editor of the Sun “newspaper”, one Kate Ferguson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Holden_(British_politician)#Personal_life.
Holden strikes me (I had not even heard of him until yesterday, despite his being Chairman of the Conservative Party— they have had so many in recent years) as a dishonest type. Just my impression of him now that I have seen him in film clips and heard online from him and about him.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Holden_(British_politician)
“Put a beggar on horseback and he rides it to death” [German proverb]
One way to cheat Holden out of his prize would be for a few civic-minded people to stand for election as “Independent conservative” or similar. That might weaken the kneejerk Con habit-vote, especially if Reform UK does well.
So far, the Basildon and Billericay constituency has been safely Con, though, since established in 2010: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basildon_and_Billericay_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.
The sheer gall and dishonesty of bastards such as Holden exemplifies the Sunak Con government and its several predecessors.

On the one hand, heartbreaking, but on the other hand heartening. People can be so resilient.

That is surprising news about Tesco carrots from that tweet above. Last Christmas, I wondered how many supermarkets would be selling one of the Zionist state’s prime exports ie Medjool dates. Tesco’s were selling packets of them originating from South Africa whilst Marks and Spencer’s were selling Israeli ones.
One piece of good news is that the British-owned sandwich chain, Pret A Manger, has pulled-out of a deal to open stores in the Zionist entity due to consumer boycotts of the company.
Now for McDonald’s who have supplied the IDF with meals (not that one would miss eating invariably cold hamburgers anyway), Starbucks etc.

The very fact that Israel puppets in the UK, USA etc have tried to ban BDS anti-Israel boycotts seems to suggest that BDS can be effective.

So the Zionist entity’s national security minister wants to stop humanitarian aid to Gaza now? Hey, Mr Itamar Ben-Gvir, of the far right, moderation like that is not normally your forte. A few months ago, you wanted to NUKE the Gaza Strip!

Where is that scurrilous group called ‘Hope Not Hate’ on this issue? I am not aware they have condemned the Zionist state’s burgeoning far right.

Yes, they can be. Thankfully, Michael Gove, the former MP for Surrey Heath (or Tel Aviv West as it may well have been with him as its MP) stood down as a candidate and his ridiculous and wholly unnecessary authoritarian legislation to clamp-down upon the BDS group in the interests of the Zionist state didn’t come to fruition.
British people were free to boycott Apartheid SA even though we had historical links to it, many of the whites there were of British descent and we probably did more trade and had more economic ties to that country so we should be free to boycott a state with whom we have far less historical ties ect with.
I guess white-ruled SA didn’t have a powerful lobby in its favour in this country and that accounts for the difference in treatment.

They are a hydra-headed special-interest group influencing policy in this country, both foreign policy and domestic policy, in “their” own interests. The “justice” system too, as seen in my own case, where I had MPs and fake “lords” writing to the DPP and police, and lower-ranking CPS as well, whining and demanding that I be prosecuted. That has been a decade-long campaign now.

The ironic thing about Farage is, he wants non-White immigration. Indians, Africans etc. As long as it’s legal. Replacing Eastern European immigration. Reminds me a bit of Tommy Robinson, with his “everyone can come here, as long as they’re not Muslims, and don’t hate gays” rhetoric.

Of course both are “controlled opposition”, though appealing to different types of people. I have little time (if any) for either. On the other hand, all roads lead to Rome. The System has to be destabilized before anything worthwhile can emerge to replace it. Maybe, in different ways, those two might help to unbalance the mechanism.

Well, Tommy Robinson is wrong to want mass immigration provided it isn’t muslims. All types of immigration are wrong if the numbers are out of control as they have been in this country since Thatcher was stabbed in the back by her own party in November 1990 and even she could and should have been tougher on it but she was the last PM who showed any real interest in tackling the issue.
As for gays, I support most gay rights though I can see why people opposed gay marriage. Gay marriage has helped to remove the notion of gender/biological sex/gender roles in our society. To put it bluntly, if gay marriage had not been made legal I think we would not have seen the rise of gender ideology over the last ten years. The Tories complain about this but they legalised gay marriage so they could be said to be responsible for it.
If marriage is a neutral space for biological sex then, frankly, why not imagine yourself to be a man when you were assigned the female gender at birth and vice versa? Why not imagine there are more than two genders?
LGBT rights should have been left at gay civil partnerships/gay civil unions.

What really are the differences between illegal and legal immigration? There are few. BOTH illegal and legal immigration in large amounts will disturb a society, turn it upside down and make native Britons feel like estranged foreigners in what is supposed to unambiguously be our country.
BOTH forms of the immigration of the wrong type of immigrants from countries with violent cultures will increase our crime rate AND due to the society having its social fabric being made less homogeneous a feeling of alienation from society will arise from natives thus increasing the tendency of native people to commit crime as well. The more ‘diverse’ a society becomes the more likely it is that it will be naturally less cohesive and that is an excellent breeding ground for crime to happen.

Very good observation. Besides, Farage NEVER, as far as I know, attacked or denounced the destruction of British history and culture by repulsive films and TV series with Black actors and actresses in the role of historical British/White characters. His pathetic whinging has always been about “illegal immigration”. He is as fake as a 3-pound bank note.

The people of the Basildon and Billericay constiuency should consider themselves fortunate in that the Congress Party of India (formerly known as the British Conservative and Unionist Party) have imposed an Englishman on them as their candidate.
Normally, it is Indians. We here in the even more safe neighbouring seat of Brentwood and Ongar very nearly avoided having an Indian by the name of Gagan Mohindra (now MP for South West Hertfordshire) imposed upon us in 2017. It was only because Teresa May called the election that year very suddenly that by-election selection procedures came into effect so we got Englishman Alex Burghart instead.

In the former Billericay constituency which used to take in some of the new Basildon and Billericay seat, former Eurosceptic and Maastrict Treaty rebel, Teresa Gorman, was the Tory MP. In 1997, she came very close to losing the seat to Labour by only retaining it by about 1,300 votes. On that occasion, an independent candidate calling themselves a ‘Loyal Conservative’ stood and polled a decent number of votes so there is precedent for what you suggest should happen.
Though I think nominations may have closed now.
