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 are 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. 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 Britain to occupy an entirely different political space. [1, 2, 3] From this perspective, the traditional narrative of "splitting the vote" is a...

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 f you multiply them by 10,000 iterations, though massive, it will still not be as massive as the systemic level of criminal 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 than before the crime rates soared. Real pe...

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. Start with the employment picture Category Employment Share of UK employment Central government (incl.

The Leviathan — a colossal primordial sea serpent rising from a storm-wracked ocean. Ask "how much of the economy is the public sector?" and you'll get different answers depending on whether you mean money (spending), value created (GDP), or people (employment). This post focuses on people: who's on the state's payroll, who works for a charity or NGO propping up services the state doesn't fully fund, and how that combined total stacks up against everyone else — the businesses, freelancers, and private employers usually thought of as the "productive" economy. All figures are the latest available: ONS quarterly data for December 2025 (public sector), the NCVO UK Civil Society Almanac for the voluntary sector, and the ONS Labour Force Survey for total UK employment. The public sector, piece by piece Segment Employment Notes Central government 4.06 million Record high; includes the NHS and Civil Service below as subsets — of which NHS 2.07 million ...
