Hi Pete. I like a lot of your writings. I think much of what you say, especially with islam and britain, is observing correctly. The British will ultimately have to come up with the stones to delete and deport the non natives. Ethnic nationalism is something hated by many but it will ultimately be your saving grace. It has worked time and time again with the Irish. It will be a great and terrible civil war. Nobody will be the same after it. The problem is that native British resistance is completely ripped apart by the British government. Thousands of righteous Southport rioters jailed. Many foreign criminals released, only to defraud, kill, and maim again. I wish you the best of luck. In America the Democratic Party is making the bid for permanent Democratic control with Kamala and a complete censorship based authoritarian regime. And our ethnic natives are so inundated with the old idea of the parties being different that they will not be able to fight the good fight. It is extremely hard to watch.
Blogs like ‘thelotuseaters’, regarding ‘hope not hate’ are changing the attitude of people over the extent of corruption in politics.
The film over the last couple of days of a man in the midlands being stabbed in the neck whilst pushing a pram with his partner, by what appears to be a migrant, is another outrage festering in the public mood on crime in the UK.
That can only grow as a result of police politicisation.
Removing the fuel allowance to pensioners (who already have one of the lowest pensions in Western Europe) whilst increasing energy bills is reinvigorating pensioners attitudes towards voting, especially those who declined to vote at the last election.
All in all, the next election will be difficult to predict.
Another hit piece on Reform and in particular, Farage. Yawn........
You are avoiding the real elephant in the room and I don’t mean Islamists, although you correctly call them out. I’m referring to the dark forces behind Starmer, behind the Tories, behind ‘The Blob’ and behind the MSM. It is all coordinated. Our managed decline, mass immigration, gradual replacement of the indigenous British is all deliberate. You must know about the ‘Kalergi Plan’, ‘The Lancaster Plan’ and ‘Agenda 30’?
You obviously know about the WEF, Soros, Blair, Gates etc. These are the people and the reasons the country is going to shit, the people pulling Starmer’s strings. Voting won’t change any of this. Political parties won’t change any of this.
It’s got to be exposed, called out and eventually, overthrown. But I can’t see any way other than civil war. Without tgat nothing will change and the globalists will win and Britain as we know it will collapse.
There is usually a stage when the 'worm turns' and Germany's worm seems to be turning faster than the UK's as there is no politician here talking as Hocke has.
Hungary of course has a robust policy on immigration but the political elite of the EU and politicians here are still way behind the sentiments of their electorate and that can only lead to increasing trouble between the governed and their governments.
As to Farage, as I'm used to saying, if you think he is the answer you are asking the wrong question.
I sense contradiction. You hurl Brexiteer and Farage like epithets but shy away from nominating a right alternative. Both you and Matt Goodwin fall between the cracks here but MG sees Farage as the best of a bad bunch where you reject him out of hand. The financially poorer Tice was going nowhere. I very much doubt he would be in Parliament without your bete noir. Hardly Ministerial calibre where Ben Habib will one day succeed as MP.
The closest Labour MP to any intellectuality is probably Hilary Benn, a classic example of no intellects need apply. Cooper is a hypocrite, a Labour requirement and comes over as a deputy headmistress. Starmer is a speak your weight machine in dire need of recalibration, not the coin you insert but his view of who is standing on the scales, Gillian Duffy getting a different reading to Emily Thornberry, again different pre and post election. Reeves has just come out as dishonest, the nickname 'Thieves' in so short a time.
Who among the Tories was a captain of industry? How many of the leader hopefuls will see the next GE as leader? I would hope none, for the Party's sake. You flog a dead horse where you could be lending support to a new kid on the block with the support of 4 million. You should aim to add to it. Your pronouncements look like you want more than 5 years of Starmer.
Thanks for the support. I sometimes feel my efforts are met with nictitating owl like stares. I was going to hold my nose and vote Tory, such is my detestation of Starmer. I foolishly hoped Boris would banish Labour to the realms of Toc H, a dim lamp in a clouded cobwebbed window. But no, Covid and his dangly parts tripped him up. Then Farage took Sunak's bait, or folly. A 28 year old young farmer type stood for Reform and got 7000 votes, two of them from our household. He wasn't thick or 'blue collar'. I wish him well next time.
This reminds me of the old punchline: 'Well, I wouldn't have started from here'.
I share Pete's misgivings about Farage and Reform. I share just about everyone else's criticisms too. But we have to fight with the weapons we've got. David is right - Reform is the only half-way credible foil to Labour and the Tories (especially Labour).
After much umming and arring I recently joined Reform. I see an opportunity to change the party into something a lot closer to what many people here would like. A lot hinges on what form the promised democratisation takes. I suspect that after next month's conference things will become clearer. If it's mere window dressing, all I've wasted is twenty five quid. If it allows substantive member input into policy, strategy and candidate selection (or even 2 out of those 3), then it's game on. Pete talks, correctly in my view, of Reform's successor as the vehicle for reversing the Leftist/Islamist takeover. But that successor could be a reformed Reform.
As a man of the Right, I always, of course, look for my strategic inspiration to the Far Left! Communist tactics in taking over trade unions and social democratic parties started with cadres making themselves indispensable. We could do similar with Reform. I'm not candidate material, but I could credibly work my up, pretty rapidly, to becoming a constituency chairman. Do the boring stuff, do the grunt work. It's called building a power structure. If the constitution is democratic (that's the crucial 'if'), we could start turning the ship around.
I don't think Farage has the staying power beyond 2029, and he has no appetite for running a large and growing party that is more than the one-man band of old.
What I refuse to do is sit back and despair. If the above fails to work out, I, and others, will have gained valuable political experience for the next push.
Up until Rishi rang the election bell - prodding Farage into action- I despaired of Tice's operation. Tice had willing supporters full of enthusiasm but he seemed to have no idea of organising any structure, putting down compost, watering the fragile roots. Every by election was like the circus or a fair coming to town, fanfara with a big blue bus and a blue London taxi. The candidates seemed to have cheap suits and hair gelled haircuts from the 90s. They'd lose then disappear with barely a trace.
Meetings were called in remote village halls, preaching to the converted. Tice went for 610 seats, diluting scarce resources. He could have concentrated on 100. Too late for Farage who came second in 98 seats.
Farage is a catalyst, a rabble rouser. He's captured the imagination of millions 4m of whom voted Reform. He's a frontiersman, he won't sit still. He's putting down compost for the likes of Braverman and ex Tories who are capable with the nuts and bolts. I doubt he wants the top job, at least not for long. Who'd want to be our PM anyway in this divided country?
Thanks Pete, perceptive and painful as always. I can’t help agreeing with John Booth, with documents like Kissinger’s NSSM 2000 and the UN’s 1995 paper ‘Replacement Migration’, link pasted below.
The Irish struggle has many lessons. I am struck by how much Farage mirrors Arthur Griffiths and UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform mirror the early pacifist Sinn Fein. Early SF rhetoric vs corporatism, internationalism, foreign/imperial administration even sounded like Brexit stuff. Barnier treated Johnson like Lloyd George treated Michael Collins. But this was just one strand among many that had been developing for at least a couple of hundred years, especially since the 1800 Act of Union removed Ireland’s Parliament and made Irish MPs a minority in a British one united ascendancy Protestants with native Catholics. So the history of Irelands fight for independence is full of characters with competing views and means of struggling Emmett, Parnell, Hyde, Pearse and so on, but also writers like Yeats and AE creating rich cultural fuel.
The kind of discussions you are starting are essential to our own process, whose ends are shifting and are yet to be defined. English liberation? British liberation? Or is it a pan-Euro movement?
The Palestinian movement is also instructive. They were utterly broken and crushed. It was only Yasser Arafat managing to hold the Palestinians together (create them?) as a people with a chaotic mix of strategies that stopped their being extinguished. And now every self respecting lefty backs the PLO and Hamas!
Both these were in a far worse position than ours today when they started. We have no cause to despair
Share the pessimism, but for now, Reform is all there is if there is going to be a conservative voice, even a viable opposition. You could splinter into a dozen micro parties, SDP, Reclaim, whatever and none will get anywhere. We don’t know what Farage & Co are up to, but will soon. They may remain a protest group that fizzles out and disappears into the void between the Tories and the micro parties. They may though prove their critics wrong and get serious. Democratize, build a grass roots network, get Matt Goodwin and Ben Habib on board, act like a party of opposition. Come up with ideas and policies, not just a critique of the status quo. I would like to think Farage understands what’s at stake - his long form interviews before the election show someone who has done some good thinking. As for direction of travel, Reform has to draw a fine line between being pro-immigrant and anti-immigration. That means finding common ground around a model of civil patriotism (the Crown is a good start) that we can all live with. May not be perfect for Peter, but there is no other way.
Nice one Pete - just looking at the comments there are a few points worth making about Reform and Farage here.
1) Farage and Tice are literally the 'owners' of Reform and essentially irremovable. This becomes vital in the event that members genuinely wanted a change of leadership.
2) Nigel in particular does not like sharing the stage. With anyone. Ever.
3) A rather disturbing thread that has always run through the populist right has been one of 'intelligence hostility' and that there is something 'earthy' about making policy up on the hoof down the boozer, or on the back of a fag packet.
4) Anyone bringing 'long words' and, god forbid, detailed policy to his little club will be smeared as 'out of touch' and ostracised accordingly. A unique brand of 'simpleton euphoria' reigns supreme.
The facts have changed and a lot of people are changing their minds.
The lazy smear of 'raaaaaaaaaacist' isn't quite getting the reaction it used to, an increasing number of people are waking up to the new meaninglessness of that word (see also Nazi and Fascist, which have been trivialised into a linguisitic blob).
It's absolutely possible to come over in a respectful and professional fashion that doesn't alienate lose people unnecessarily - but addresses the matter in hand. Mass immigration can't go on, was imposed on a population without its consent and it's fair enough to demand answers re:- why that was.
Is merely 'hitting the brakes' enough or are we looking at removing anyone who gives us an excuse to do so? There are some supplementaries from there.
Reform and Farage ARE the problem and good luck to anyone looking to change either. Fingers crossed for you but I suspect you'll need it.
More to the point what Christian country has been turned into an Islamic states?
I do understand the problem, and it is rather unfair of you to suggest otherwise! I'm well aware they are breeding faster than us and left uncheck we 'whites' will be in a minority by around 2060.
However, I believe non Muslim British will not take this lying down and have more about them than the French in Petain's Vichy France.
My references to you switching off from your dire predictions for our country were light hearted banter but I'm glad you have a gardener I have three part-timers!
I don't see you as an unpleasant person but I am at a loss, if for you the game is up, you bother to read this blog? Further as a man with I suspect your background not to want to try and work towards solutions as oppose to apparently gloat as our country turns to ruin is disappointing to say the least!
This is utter nonsense, for anybody who has been doing their research for years they will know it’s not the Muslims who are the issue, it’s the Zionist Jews who are public enemy number 1. Anybody who thinks otherwise is either ignorant or controlled opposition.
Pete, presumably younger, seems happy to wait ten years. I, definitely older, am unwilling to wait 5. The %age life expectancy the NHS give me, I may not outlive Starmer's turn. I do have little grandchildren, 10, 7 and 7 who I don't want indoctrinated into the WEF utopia, their dystopian nightmare. For now I have still breath and a keyboard. I don't care who destroys Starmer but it must be done and it won't be the Lib Dems posing as a Conservative Party. It won't be Pete's, so far non extant, club of intellectuals he dreams of. Even Matt Goodwin or Dominic Cummings who hope for such, realise that.
You cannot hurry the political reform necessary to set us on a more democratic course as for example it took 270 years from the Levellers to Chartist to get men the vote.
However having said that I'm hopeful in my life time, I'm 73, we will see the gradual acceptance of these six demands and perhaps even the enactment of parts thereof.
Yes at 73 I've seen the best and will probably not experience the worst nor see the rise from the ashes as all nations do, in a 250 year cycle, rise and fall as described by Sir John Pasha Glubb in his 30 page essay 'The Fate of Empires' for as he explains on page one the only lesson of history is that we learn nothing from it! His essay is well worth a read and is on line
As to THA we met in Harrogate in 2013 in the Swan Hotel and are certainly an idea well ahead of its time! Pete's father Dr Richard North wrote the initial 30 page pamphlet, before we left the EU, and will in the coming moths be expanding it into a small book which will see us out but live on for future generations!
Obviously back in 2013 we hope to have gained some traction by now but we are still here and have not, like so many ideas, come and gone! I also now realise things will get worse before they improve as major reform of our governance is a long term project.
Our future is in the people's hands but if they continue to sit on them nowt will change but a rise always follows decline and with the internet things can move faster than they did in the past.
If one is not an optimist then one might as well head off to Dignitas!!

"So who do you think they are denying bandwidth to"
Refrom's successor - which cannot come into being until it is out of the way.
I'm not at all clear that you highlight any serious 'incoherence' in Pete's posts??
I find Pete's post very coherent.
He is spot on when he says "This, I think, is a job for a new generation of politicians."
I hope this comes about but, if it does, it will take a long time. I'm more inclined to think that things will slowly fall apart, and then rapidly.

Nobody knows who will replace Reform but with Farage in charge they are not the answer.
Excellent detailed report, thank you.
