Labour hated, “Conservatives” (under a silly and useless Nigerian woman carpetbagger) despised, LibDems a dustbin for uncertain votes, or a non-choice. Result— Reform UK, though underwhelming, as a straw at which to clutch, and at the same time a serious protest vote.
According to Electoral Calculus, that, at a General Election, would make Reform UK the official Opposition: Labour 269 Commons seats, Reform 149, Conservatives 101, LibDems 73, Greens 6. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.
The most likely outcome there would of course be a Lab/LibDem coalition, or maybe a Lab minority govt. with LibDem support. If either of those, then there might be a LibDem demand for proportional representation, to replace the current ridiculous First-Past-The-Post voting system.
Incidentally, such a voting result would also mean that about 143 Labour MPs would be culled, and another 20 Con Party MPs would also lose their seats.
Also incidentally, if that result were to be changed in only one small aspect, Reform UK going up from 25% to 26% (with all other vote shares unchanged), the end result would be Lab 259, Reform 173, Con 87, LibDems 73, Green 6. That would be existentially disastrous for the Con Party

“Why is Britain going bankrupt and what might this mean? Let’s take a look.
First it is worth noting, Labour et al might calm the markets in the short-term but what markets are telling us is that there is a festering problem – even if this goes away in the coming weeks it will keep coming back.
There are short-term and long-term trends driving the bankruptcy; a few of the long-term trends are poor resource allocation in the public sector, aging population and low growth; short-term trends are basically COVID-19 spending and spending on energy price guarantees due to Ukraine war – also BoE’s enormous losses from QE aren’t helping.
Britain can always print money to finance its debt but the problem is that foreign debt sales keep sterling propped up which, in turn, keeps UK living standards propped up at an artificial level; if sterling were allowed fall to close the large trade deficit and Britons were forced to live within their means, living standards would be lower – probably significantly lower.
If/when the bankruptcy takes place there are basically two paths that it can take: either the government impose harsh austerity, likely by handing the reins to the OBR and the Treasury, or the country is put into receivership and the keys are handed to the IMF.
There is some talk that the IMF option is like what happened in 1976 – yes and no; in 1976 UK government debt was below 50% of GDP and while the country’s trade deficit was large it had only opened two years beforehand; today government debt is well over 100% of GDP and the trade deficit is not only enormous but has been enormous for 20 years (!).
Britain lives beyond its means by managing capital via the City of London; rather than producing goods to export the country tries to attract capital inflows sustain higher levels of consumption than the economy would naturally allow – but a serious crisis will change all this making the situation very different to 1976.
In 1976 the UK was really just trying to stabilise sterling amidst some troublesome worldwide inflationary pressures while today the country needs to be treated like the typical patient that the IMF gets its hands on.
Nor would such an austerity program even look like, say, Ireland after 2011 which was aimed at bringing down wage costs and making the country competitive again – this meant that the country went through a few years of pain and recession but then emerged with their living standards intact and started growing once more.
Rather any austerity program that is applied by Britain – whether by the IMF or by OBR-Treasury, or some combination of the three – would look more like what happened to Greece after 2011: a managed, permanent decline in living standards.“
Is there a silver lining? There would be, if all the above led to a real social-national government and “a revaluation of all values“…

The violent diversity starts preying upon and harming White people the moment they (the diversity) arrive in White countries.
This has been going on for many decades, and the overwhelming majority of politicians from all parties were and are too cowardly, corrupt, and traitorous to speak up for the indigenous people of Britain.
None of the traitor-politicians cared enough to defend the voiceless White victims.
Churchill didn’t care, Eden didn’t care, MacMillan didn’t care, Douglas-Home didn’t care, Thatcher didn’t care. Etc. None of them cared, and neither did the overwhelming majority of the MPs.
Out of the thousands of MPs who have been in parliament (commons and lords) over the decades since 1945, perhaps 20 of them ever bothered to say anything even remotely Pro-White. Actually the number is probably less than 10.
The betrayal of the British working class by the political elite since 1945 (and earlier) is truly evil and disgraceful.
I find the treason of the British military officer class in the postwar era to be especially mind-boggling and difficult to comprehend. These were men who had lived in an era when Britain and the Empire was at its height. They were men who had fought in the world war.
Yet they meekly and timidly stayed silent and said nothing, while the traitor-politicians threw away the Empire and opened Britain’s borders to a flood of violent diversity to replace the indigenous White British people.
Did these military officer types simply not care about the future of the country they fought for in the war? Were they too terrified of being called “racist” to speak up for the survival of their own race?
It is truly hard to understand why the overwhelming majority of the British officer class, landed gentry, etc remained silent and said nothing during the early decades of the destruction of Britain (1950s-1980s) when the destruction could have been nipped in the bud and stopped.
The utter indifference and apathy shown by the officer class, the gentry, and the aristocracy to the destruction of Britain is very troubling and hard to understand, especially during the early postwar era when most of these men had come of age during the late 1800s or early 1900s, and could still remember Britain at its height.
It is very strange and inexplicable how the officer class and gentry of the postwar era simply stayed silent and watched as their country was destroyed, and couldn’t be bothered to even speak up (let alone do something) to oppose the destruction.
With regard to the diversity themselves, the pakistanis, other muslims, indians, africans, and of course the (((REDACTEDS))) are all badly behaved guests in Britain.
When one has a badly behaved guest in one’s house, one escorts that guest out the door and tells that guest to never return.
The same needs to be done to the badly behaved guests in Britain.
Britain is the home of the indigenous White British people, and ONLY the indigenous White British people.
All of the badly behaved foreign guest groups should be deported and sent back to their ancestral homelands or to any other third world country that will take them.

Friend of Britain:
I agree.
This is partly a class thing. The aristocracy are mostly affluent/wealthy, and do not live in the rabbit-hutch streets of decaying towns and cities where the bulk of the migrant-invaders live. The Army officers around in the 1960s, or even the 1970s/1980s (when immigration into the UK really took off) were in a similar position. Even now, that is mostly the case.
Matt Goodwin is right, also, when he describes the views —or expressed views— of many who are not poor or struggling as “elite beliefs”, a kind of status symbol of the mind. Saying that “immigration is beneficial” to the UK is one such belief. After all, the person expressing it will usually be living in the country, or a green leafy suburb, and will only see the invaders through the window of his or her car, unless a pizza is delivered…

Dear “Friend of Britain”: It is amazing how you described so clearly and so well the betrayal of the British people by their ruling class. Your knowledge and understanding of British social and political history are extraordinary and far superior to the average Briton´s.
A long time ago a friend of mine who is very intelligent and well-read told me: “Most Englishmen are Marxists at heart but they do not know it, they are too ignorant to realise it. For them, EVERYTHING revolves around money and social status. Why do you think they are so horrible and cruel towards their “social inferiors”? Because for them race is NOTHING but class and money is EVERYTHING!”
That is why the despicable gentry and nobility sided with the (((enemies))) of their own people! Edward VII was a perfect example of such an attitude. The Jewess Dominique Frischer in her book “America´s Moses: The Life of Baron Hirsch” says: “Furthermore, his sympathy for his Jewish friends lasted until the end of his reign. Thus, in 1905, four years after his coronation, the House of Lords had 34 bankers among its members! “

Claudius, that is a very good explanation. Thanks!!
It shows the treacherous mentality of the British elite, compared to the racially-loyal patriotic mentality of British patriots such as the BNP, Patriotic Alternative, and of course our host Ian Millard.
As you said, for the traitorous elite, race is nothing and money/status is everything.
In contrast, for White nationalists, race is everything and money/status is nothing.
As Ian said recently, for White nationalists the greatest reward is victory for our race, and the future survival and wellbeing of our race.
And that is why the heroic White racial loyalists will always be loved, valued, honored, and cherished by the race that they fight for.
Even today, despite all the (((brainwashing))), millions of White people remember and love and honor Hitler, the Waffen SS, and the NSDAP, and national heroes such as Sir Oswald Mosley, etc. And the number of White people who honor and love these heroes is growing, and more and more White people awaken.
Meanwhile, nobody cares about Tory/Labor/LibDem MP #5849. These corrupt traitor-politicians are all interchangeable, faceless, forgettable. They might as well have numbers rather than names. These traitors are forgotten the moment they leave office. Nobody even remembers that they ever existed.
Sure, the traitor-politicians are (((rewarded))) for their treason with lucrative jobs in the (((finance industry))) or (((corporate sector))). The traitor-politicians have big houses and drive expensive cars. Some of them have knighthoods or peerages and other fancy titles.
But in the end, what does that get them? Nothing. The corrupt politicians eventually grow old and die as they lived: unloved and unwanted, even by their evil (((masters))).
To paraphrase Sir Thomas More, it profiteth not for a man to lose his soul and gain the entire world, and it is all the more pathetic and contemptible for a man to lose his soul for a house in Belgravia and a non-executive directorship at Coutt’s or Serco.
The traitor-politicians might enjoy their wealth and lavish lifestyles, but eventually they will pass on and be forgotten and unlamented.
Meanwhile, the White racial heroes who stayed loyal to the White race and fought for the White race will be loved, honored, cherished, and remembered forever by the people they fight to defend.
And even if we lose, we will lose valiantly, knowing that until the very end, we stayed faithful to our race and our people, and we fought for our race and our people, and we did the morally right thing by fighting for and defending the White race.
And ultimately, that is what truly matters.

Thank you for your comments which agree exactly with my thoughts. My political ideas were already fully developed by the time I was 18 (I am 65 now) and the years did nothing but confirm them and enhance their value.
As a countryman of mine wrote a long time ago (1978) “The names of those despicable little men (Churchill and Roosevelt) without honour nor conscience who fought against Adolf Hitler are beginning to fade in the memory of the people whereas the prestige of the Führer grows daily”
As you so eloquently said, it does not matter if we do not win. What matters is that we fought the good fight and we did what was right. I remember the noble words of a very old Frenchman who fought in the Waffen-SS and managed to escape to Argentina: “I do not regret what I did. If I was born again and went back to 1944 I would do exactly what I did then. My honour is called loyalty”. That is the spirit!

This didn’t happen when the first few PMs in your list were in office because back then the immigration invasion had not really started.

He was replaced by Establishment dork Eden an Old Etonian useless non entity who should have told evil anti-Brit US President Eisenhower to ever so politely fuck off when he disgracefully threatened this country with a run on the Pound over the Suez crisis if we did not do as we were told.
There may have been a gang rape crisis by the time Thatcher was in office. Thatcher controlled immigration much better than most PM’s but even she failed to get a real grip on Muslims throwing their weight around at the time of the Salman Rusdie Satantic Verses controversy. Undoubtedly, muslim extremists/Islamists would have taken heart from that and this would have emboldened some muslim men to engage in their evil gang rape epidemic.
Also, her government stupidly passed the infamous Public Order Act 1986 designed to shut up we common plebs over the non democratically endorsed colonisation of our country which was becoming more and more evident by then.

Why is that Jew in Italy worried about the situation? Mussolini was a fascist NOT a National Socialist. His regime included Jews and some were fairly high-up in it as well as they were in the party and as was the case in Britain with Sir Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists (BUF). Mussolini didn’t have a particular animus against Jews and his regime didn’t introduce any ‘anti-semitic’ laws until as late as 1938 when it had already been in power for 16 years. Mussolini only introduced them at the urging of Hitler in order to be viewed fabourably by him and to strengthen their beginning alliance. Infact, on more than one occasion, Mussolini explicitly condemned racial ‘anti-semitism’.
Italian and British fascism were not inherently ‘anti-semitic’. One former British fascist and Jewish member of the BUF, Harold Soref, even became a Tory MP after the war. German and Austrian National Socialism was inherently racially ‘anti-semitic’ though. Germany and Austria both have a marked history of racial ‘anti-semitism’ which led to the Holocaust in time. Other European countries, especially in Western Europe like Italy are not racially ‘anti-semitic’ but are anti-Zionist or get annoyed with some Jews in a political sense/ how some of them behave ect. Only the Germans and Austrians in Western Europe have a history of blaming Jews for everything that goes wrong in their countries. Some Eastern Europeans have this tendency too with one of the very worst if not THE worst being Ukrainians whose racial ‘anti-semitism’ was so extreme even Nazi German occupiers were embarrassed by it and yet these are the people liberal-left globalists here such as that anti-British wanker, Sir Two Tier Kier, and the Nigerian non-entity who ‘leads’ the fake Conservative Party think Britain should be a potential Russian nuclear target and become indebted and bankrupt for! The Ukrainian army has a truly viciously ‘anti-semitic’ and blatantly Nazi grouping within it as well. You really couldn’t get more bizarre a situation than for anti-Nazi Britain and anti-Nazi Labour and fake Conservatives supporting a country whose armed forces contain blatantly neo-Nazi units and a country which has marked pockets of neo-Nazis living within it as Putin so rightly says.

Well, I think the racial anti-semitism of Germany and Austria rather backfired in the end and only made Zionism and Jewish Supremacism stronger than ever. Perhaps that was the ultimate aim. After all, Hitler himself may well have been a self-hating Jew. His real origins are, even now, shrouded in mystery. Simply put, Hitler never looked anything like a native Austrian man of even the ‘Alpine’ type. I have visited Austria on holiday and went to one of the more ‘Alpine’ racial type areas namely the Tyrol which is not far away from Hitler’s birthplace in Upper Austria. I had a great time there. Austrians complimented me on my German but I never encountered a single native Austrian man who looked anything like Hitler.
If you were to create a regime which would give a perfect pretext for the establishment of the Israeli Zionist state then Hitler and his regime would be ideal.
These Zionists are nothing if not diabolically clever, resourceful and devious people and what is more they have NO qualms at all harming their ‘own’ people in order to achieve higher Zionist objectives eg the World Zionist Organisation knew the Holocaust was going on but asked Western governments not to admit Jewish refugees. Also, Israel executed Adolf Eichmann even though the death penalty goes against one of the main tenants of the Jewish religion and had only been used ONCE in Israel’s history up to that point so that he would not reveal these kind of truths to the globe.

Fascism does normally incorporate a nationalistic side to it which must be why Zionist Israel is the world’s only real fascist state at present but hey Jewish fascism is ok whereas gentile fascism certainly is not.

John:
This whole “counter-terror” nonsense has become a joke. The Jews of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” say on their own website that, after representations made on their behalf by Israel-puppet “Lord” Ian Austin (the expenses cheat who once tweeted in favour of the decriminalization of bestiality and/or bestiality porn), this blog was referred to “counter-terror” police a few years ago! I can only presume that those police did not take the “CAA” seriously, because I never was arrested, or even interviewed (that time), but merely summonsed to court (in 2023) by post.
