People often ask what to do about the many competing and imaginary existential threats. If left unattended, the neurosis embedded in the question itself tends to develop into a collective psychosis. Even a proud autonomous individual can be quickly sucked into victimhood if they are not constantly on guard and will remain blissfully unaware of it. The net effect will be to take sides in one tribe or another and become unable to exit. Smart people believe it is only mentally ill people, who are mentally ill.  Nothing. They are imaginary. My recommendation is for you to look in the mirror and observe how you are causing all the problems you complain about. If you can fix these things, you will have done well and need do no more.  But this is far too big an ask for the majority of people in each tribe. It would mean 'questioning your god' - the tribal narrative obedient people follow. And this would mean being sent into exile. So it's only for the hero.  These imaginary exis...

I'm interested in the high emotion in British politics of so called splitting the right wing vote between Reform and Restore Britain, thereby making it less likely for right wing politics to win. I disagree that there is a split to be made. Because it presupposes that both parties are fighting for the same voting space. My view is that Reform are yet another member of the so called uniparty. Restore Britain is different in that they want fundamental change and are immediately ready to make it whatever the specific policy. Whereas Reform are faking that promise to appease the establishment. So there is no vote to split. Think about it this way: eating into Reforms vote is splitting the establishment vote. And intensifying the vote for those who want to re-establish Britain. Here is some further analysis. My view aligns directly with a growing sentiment among disillusioned right-wing voters: that Reform UK has become an extension of the "uniparty" system , leaving Restore ...

Real people, in real need, are not getting access to assistance because of systemic fraud running across the public sector - criminal gangs in government, NGO's and charity, not to mention so called philanthropy. People talk a lot about nail bars and foreign barbers being a money laundering scam. This is probably true. But look at them, they are small businesses. Even if you multiply them by 10,000 iterations, though massive, it will still not be as massive as the systemic level of criminal activity within so called charity crime activity. Charity and NGO's are a far bigger scam by a very long way.  This isn't to say that all charity is a scam. It is to say that the charity industrial complex is anti Britain through its money laundering and tax evasion while never delivering for those in need. While true charity which does exist in the pockets and corners of Britain are losing because of it, not to mention those Britons truly in need who are now getting even less support th...

Betrayal of country and oath More  than half of all our public institutions are now controlled by foreign Power. Not 'a' foreign power. But Power. What does this mean? For indigenous people, you are now second class citizens. Because Power says so.  It is Power.  In the past you, as indigenous people, used to have Power. And that is the way it should be in any stable nation where its people love their nation and its ancestry.  Alas, you honourable people of Britain are now in this condition and can do nothing about it. You now have to decide if you will rise above it somehow and win it back. Or complain into the wind... and lose it forever. There is something that can be done about it. But do you have short memories? It's only 80 years since Britain was the last bastion of freedom in the world against a monstrous fascist tyranny. And we won because we stood up with courage to defend who we really are, knowing the enormous risk and with everything at stake...

 Employees vs. Spending: Why "20% of Workers, 44% of GDP" Isn't the Contradiction It Looks Like A natural response to seeing that public sector and charity workers make up roughly a fifth of UK employment, while government spending runs at 44% of GDP, is to assume something doesn't add up — that a fifth of the workforce is somehow "consuming" almost half the economy. It's a reasonable instinct, but it rests on comparing two numbers that aren't measuring the same thing. This post walks through the actual wage bills involved, and shows where the rest of that 44% actually goes.
