Yes Andrew. Our governments preach ‘cohesion’ but then do everything in their power to set us against each other. To shift the blame from themselves obvs!
As ever the counterfactual immediately springs to mind. Imagine if Boris Johnson or Nigel Farage had promoted the cause of PIE in the 80s. The mainstream would ensure it would be all we knew about them.
I have a rather sad feeling that this is all mutual protection. The pretence that child sexual abuse only occurs amongst greasy bearded Pakistani's is false. As we've seen with Mandelson there's an awful lot of effort put into protecting the higher establishment's foul proclivities.
That may well be true but the south Asian gentlemen made it a business empire and took it to factory levels. And it's still going on now. Part of dealing with these foul creatures should be the seizure of their assets (homes, businesses and fancy cars) under the proceeds of crime act. Many of the ringleaders created de facto brothels and charged other men for "services". No evidence of politicians doing this.
No evidence, I think is the key word. They protect one another. At a trivial level, look how they clung together over MPs expenses to defend each other's theft of our money.

As you rightly point out, they have relied on a captured minority vote to hold a number of seats. As those minorities find an alternative, less compromised alternative, they are then caught between the smaller more cohesive group and the interests of the larger but less mobilized one. Exactly what happened to the Tories!
A couple of weeks ago, I woke up feeling horribly anxious depressed and low, and even a bit shaky. I haven’t felt this way since I was first diagnosed with depression back in the late 90’s. Like a lot of people, I’m struggling with the cost of living nowadays, plus a few other unwelcome developments in my life at the moment.
But I had to sit quietly with myself for 20 minutes to try and collect my thoughts - to get to the bottom of what else was troubling me.
As I dug deeper into my subconscious, I realised that living in modern ‘progressive’ Britain was a key factor behind my fear/worry/anxiety. It’s a subtle slow creeping fear that has been building for some time now - and certainly made much worse by this dreadful bunch of Marxist clowns currently in “government”.
I realise that the Britain I’ve known and loved (for 60 years now) is crumbling before my eyes, to be replaced by a society I don’t recognise any more. I only have to look out my window or visit my town centre.
The pace of change in such a short space of time is terribly unsettling and frightening.
And now it would appear that WE are the bad guys for wanting some semblance of ‘normality’ back.
We’re supposed to just sit back and take it.
Complain and you will be punished / ostracised.
Conclusion: this govt is bad for your mental health.
I’m pretty comfortable living in inner city London. It’s certainly not for everyone and the change over the last forty years is astonishing.
But I’m an urbanite and as I say in the piece I have many ‘diverse’ friends.
I say all that to counter charges I’m just an old gammon who can’t cope with modern life.
What really makes me anxious is the direction we’re heading in. Britain is becoming a full on socialist quagmire. I posted a note this week about how the government is paying firms to take on young unemployed. Because taxes are so high they can’t afford to pay them themselves.
It’s classic socialism. Cause a problem. Solve the problem with other people’s money. Everything is like that now. Every problem caused by government (Tory too) has been compounded by more government. It’s an existential disaster for this nation.
Sorry to hear your suffering though Ady. I’ve just realised this reply probably isn’t helping. 🫣
Excellent comment LSO. Believe it or not, many years ago (when I was young and naive) I was a Labour voter. This was back in the day when Labour stood for the ‘party of the working man’. Like many, at the time I was suckered by a fresh faced Blair, and swept up by the whole ‘Cool Britannia’ thing. As much as I loathe him now (for being the source of pretty much every ill that now plagues this country), at the time Labour ‘seemed’ a stable and credible government.
Life still seemed ‘normal’.
Under this latest socialist hell, it feels extreme, authoritarian, and it feels like we’re witnessing the end of Western civilisation in real time.
All whist Starmer idly plays his fiddle as ‘Rome’ burns around him.
Ps: ironically, the last time I was diagnosed with depression was under a Labour government.
This "creeping, crumbling change" is anxiety inducing. I'm 77 now and wonder how it's all going to pan out in the next few years......... my sons are in their 50s and childless so at least I don't have grandchildren to worry about........
But the sun's shining and the garden is calling for attention so I can forget it for a while.
I am, like you, a mother of two childless sons. I'm ashamed to say that I never pushed them for grandchildren - quite the opposite as I didn't like the way the world was going when Blair was in charge. I never thought things would get so bad though.
I'm grateful that I live in an area as yet untouched by social ills - although my former home areas in and around London have all succumbed to degradation and squalor from one thing: mass immigration. It is the major problem of our time, which will define Britain as a failing country. I fear it is too late to save us.
Yes - we live in a quiet rural enclave with good neighbours. I haven't been to London since before the 'pandemic' and have no intention of ever going there again.
I believe the only reason why the establishment needs the anti muslim definition is to stop the “Grooming” Rape enquiry learning why the men raped, and continue to rape our little girls.
However, there's no need to worry LSO, this is a "non-statutory" definition....😆 Yeah, ok City Steve. Its bonkers. The 'Lims are already given many protections under the equalities act. Of course the stock answer every. Single. Loony. Lefty. Has come back with is, "well, there's an anti semitism law" yes, because Hitler murdered 6m of them, and they have been persecuted since the dawn of time, especially by Islamic extremists and loony lefties.
The only cure for all our current ills, is a general election and a Reform government. We're in a recession (0.1% is not growth, its a rounding error) and things will only get much, much worse.
There should not be any anti-semitism law: they were not murdered here and it cost Britain its Empire and Great Power status to stop the people doing it. Any law that privileges any group, however noble the intent, undermines the primary tenet of our law that we are all equal before it. This is why all the legislation that does so, back to the Race Relations Act 1965, has to go. The 11 Labour (!) MPs that wrote to Clement Attlee objecting to the Windrush pointed out a multi-ethnic society is a divided one (see Aristotle). The astute MPs who debated the 1965 Race Relations bill observed that, if made law, it would simply drive division. And so it and its successor legislation has done.
I’m not so sure Dan. I think anti-semitism laws made more sense post war.
But now all sorts of groups seem to be saying ‘I want some of that’.
Basic non discrimination legalisation should be all we need as you say. A law saying discrimination based on race, religion and sexuality is not allowed would do the job I think.
But to echo Imran Hussain’s words, it does seem like there’s ‘open season’ against the Jews right now. The amount of anti-Semitic comments I see on my Notes is truly depressing. And our authorities don’t seem to care. I take all your other points. 👍
The Left have been emboldened to insult Jews. When nothing was done to stop the muslim rioters parading through London every weekend (because Khan supported them), when Glastonbury - and recently - saw appalling anti-Semitic chanting and again, nothing was done, when muslims screamed abuse at Jews and nothing was done - the evil, nasty Leftist rentamob now consider they can say what they like.
After all: Starmer and Labour aren't going to stop them. They're the most obvious because of their voting block.
The 1965 Act protected Jews specifically, along with other groups, for the first time in British legal history. Any Act that protects a specific group or characteristic (see Equality Act 2010), creates for those from that group or with those characteristics, a superior class of rights to everyone else. This can only ever be divisive. Dr David McGrogan explains here: https://newsfromuncibal.substack.com/p/equality-in-the-sibling-society?r=z3b3q&utm_medium=ios
Unfortunately employers were sacking pregnant women for the terrible crime of being pregnant, and leaving disabled workers as little more than glorified tea boys assuming they were incapable of anything more complex - yes, I'm a disabled woman. 😂 Legislation is not always the answer, but when education falls on deaf ears sometimes it's the only way forward. 🙄
Absolutely. And now employers do not even hire women of child-bearing age, due to the cost of their maternity leave and thicket of legal protection. They also do not hire white people because they are white.
Plenty of young women in gainful employment in the UK. 50% of the workforce. And most of that maternity pay is government funded (so yeah, taxpayer funded) employers don't pay for it out of their pockets, and any extra they do pay they get to set off against their taxes. I work in accounting.
It seems as if Labour, while complaining that it is right wingers who are creating division in this country, are doing many things to foster a climate of anger and increase racism even in those who are instinctively against it.
That's always been the way, sadly. The Left gaslight desperately to avoid their own sordid, vile past. After all, it was the hard Left national socialists who set about genocide of the Jewish people. They haven't changed. They never will.
I honestly don't know why. I, a fairly Right minded (i.e normal) person wakes up on a Saturday and think 'I'd like a nice cup of tea and to put the washing out.' Leftists think 'How can I make someone miserable today for my own ego?'
It is anathema to normal people's thinking. Yet it is that mania that has created the UN, the EU - the desperation to control others.

The further the pendulum swings in one direction, the harder and more forceful the reset in the opposite direction. History shows us where this goes. There's still time, but ultimately, the last thing anyone half-sensible wants to see is people being burnt out of their houses or worse still, dragged out of their houses and burnt in the streets. Look at Yugoslavia, a conflict whose barbarity was well hidden by the MSM.
Agreed Darren. I do think that with a political will(sadly lacking right now) a lot of this could be addressed without all that.
Stopping benefits/housing/free NHS for foreign nationals. Phased in as necessary.
A robust application of our existing laws. The denial of visas for specific countries. And a massive overhaul of the entire visa process (less than 25% issued are for work apparently-the rest are dependents and students-who often go in to claim asylum-etc) would help.
It’s our collective fault, really. If you neglect a house, it will eventually fall down. If you neglect your health, the ubiquitous viruses, bacteria and fungi will attack and consume you. If you neglect your own society, that too will degrade. You and I may share an appreciation of the time, effort and sacrifice it took our ancestors to build our modern society, and a passionate desire to sustain it, but there aren’t enough of us. Too many just don’t care. We lose what we don’t work to keep.
Depressingly accurate but you managed to make it humourous too. Well done LSO. Labour keep pouring petrol on the fire....no wonder prices are going up.
Tbh I was in two minds about ‘affirmative action’ back when we had a much smaller ethnic minority population.
Now it doesn’t make much sense to me. And it is clearly divisive and used as more a political tool, than to open up opportunities for the disadvantaged.
We used to have a system which helped promote working class and disadvantaged people. It was called the grammar school. And the left insisted they were all shut down….
The problem with muslim is that they remain, steadfastly, desperately, muslim. There is no attempt at integration. The vast majority are utterly welfare dependent. They insist on their own dress types, sticking two fingers up to our values and norms. Few bother to learn English. They are undermining our historic values, such as on animal welfare.
Far too many, seeing that the state will do anything to pander to them; abuse this country and openly insult it.
They live off us, not with us. They live in their own enclaves, with their own culture which is spreading - we move away, they expand. They bring corruption, fraud, organised crime and their own 'cultural' practices - paedophilia, for example - and instead of treating them as we should, the Left protect and promote muslim. We have not needed an anti Jew definition or anti Sikh definition because they don't cause problems. They vanish into society.
muslim doesn't.
Since 1970 the population has rejected massive uncontrolled immigration. The state has, therefore, forced it. Blair accelerated this in 1997, a full blown two fingers to the public to create a voting block. We really said no in 2016 and the Left mocked and forced ever more on us.
It has to stop. The pandering, the torret of benefits, the translations. The parasite is eating the host.
Grieve is an odious bag of excrement. He's a traitor, a self important vile creature.
Labour have not yet realised that it is too late for them. Gaza and Iran won't be forgiven or forgotten. Whatever they do now will be matched by the Greens, or by Galloway, or Corbyn, or a popular independent Muslim, without that bad news baggage. The organisation known as "The Muslim Vote" will decide which of these to support, and Muslims will be told how to vote. Ensuring at least 50% of the votes cast are postal, so nobody can see what is going on behind closed doors or, failing that, "family voting" in the polling booth, completes the picture.
Where there is not a majority Muslim block vote, a white candidate will be selected, who will bag the Muslim vote as above, but also the traditional left wing vote. It worked a treat in Denton and Gorton.
But Muslims are concentrated in few seats. That gives them power in these seats, but not elsewhere. They also have to watch out for Corbyn, Galloway and the Greens all standing in one seat, which may split the Muslim vote.
We need a voting reform bill like the American SAVE (?) bill. Which mandates voter ID and reduces postal voting. Of course the left consider both measures ‘racist’. Because they have such a low opinion of minorities they believe they are incapable of coping with such basic requirements.
Postal voting (another Blair bright idea) is at the heart of the problem, especially when “Community Leaders” get involved and decide who gets the votes.
Postal voting was fine when it was restricted to people who legitimately could not get to their polling station on the day. There were many categories, housebound, working abroad, shift work, armed forces, etc. but you had to prove it. There can be no good reason for a whole household to need postal votes.
Exactly. Every campaign political group used to have its own volunteer groups of drivers that used to collect voters and take them to the polling station and back.
It worked very well for years and years. Postal voting was never needed for Joe Blow.
'The unhinged progressives have even tried to rebrand harmless, misunderstood, paedophiles as ‘minor attracted people’.
A campaign which thankfully remains in its infancy.
Which is just the way they like it.'
It takes special talent to be both really angry and genuinely funny at the same time.
Yes Andrew. Our governments preach ‘cohesion’ but then do everything in their power to set us against each other. To shift the blame from themselves obvs!
Divide and rule, only way to keep the pesky natives in order. The North West Frontier is now over here rather than over there.
I’m 70 now but I remember when the Socialist Workers Party was claiming that sex with babies was okay, that was 50 years ago. They are not giving up.
There is something deeply wrong with the Left wing mind.
🙏 Andrew. Very kind of you to say.
Keep up the good work. Like you, I have good friends among immigrant folk. The fracture that I fear, and increasingly expect, will be painful.
Two words. Harriet Harman.

Another piece of toxic nonsense to be added to the Great Reform Bill which Nigel will place before Parliament in his first week as PM…..won’t he?
I wish we were hearing more about this Great Reform Bill Paul.
Indeed! Of course I meant Great Repeal Bill - my mind had drifted back to 1832 as I was typing. An age thing.
Ha Ha me too Paul! I still remember the 1706 Act of Union, as if it were yesterday…….🤣

Hi Patrick.
Yes. They’re all at it.
Tbh I was in two minds about ‘affirmative action’ back when we had a much smaller ethnic minority population.
Now it doesn’t make much sense to me. And it is clearly divisive and used as more a political tool, than to open up opportunities for the disadvantaged.
We used to have a system which helped promote working class and disadvantaged people. It was called the grammar school. And the left insisted they were all shut down….

But Muslims are concentrated in few seats. That gives them power in these seats, but not elsewhere. They also have to watch out for Corbyn, Galloway and the Greens all standing in one seat, which may split the Muslim vote.
We need a voting reform bill like the American SAVE (?) bill. Which mandates voter ID and reduces postal voting. Of course the left consider both measures ‘racist’. Because they have such a low opinion of minorities they believe they are incapable of coping with such basic requirements.
And that, LSO, is the nub of the matter.
Postal voting (another Blair bright idea) is at the heart of the problem, especially when “Community Leaders” get involved and decide who gets the votes.
Same problem in the USA.
Postal voting was fine when it was restricted to people who legitimately could not get to their polling station on the day. There were many categories, housebound, working abroad, shift work, armed forces, etc. but you had to prove it. There can be no good reason for a whole household to need postal votes.
Exactly. Every campaign political group used to have its own volunteer groups of drivers that used to collect voters and take them to the polling station and back.
It worked very well for years and years. Postal voting was never needed for Joe Blow.
