Both the Tories and BLM have made colossal political errors that will doom them in their present form.
After WW1, the Marxists realized that a head-on approach to revolution had not worked in the key industrial countries and was not likely to. Indeed, that was the tragedy of Lenin’s life who ended up stuck in the rural peasant backwater of Russia dying miserably. Red Rosa Luxemburg did worse ending up in a canal in Berlin. Open insurrection simply did not inflame the workers to rise up, although the Marxists are still hoping. Periodically they think their time has come as during the Great Depression and in Britain during the early 1970s. An electricity meter reader no less told me that they would be taking over soon and confiscating private property.
The more calculating Marxists of the Frankfurt School realised that a better approach than insurrection would be the famous ‘long march through the institutions’ coupled with undermining the basics of life like the family and the concept of our nation plus fostering national guilt. They have been exceedingly effective.
Everything we thought our lives were based on has been steadily rubbished without it being obvious to most people that this was a plan. The idea has been a series of incremental small attacks in the name of reason and justice like homosexual marriage. Not legal commitment among couples for anyone who wants it regardless of gender but undermining a part of the national religious basis for life. Most might not be practising Christians but the framework permeated our lives as with marriage between men and women and a burial service along religious lines.
For all this to work, things had to be done quietly and to look civilised, progressive and not alarming unless you grasp the destination intended.
Then along comes Black Lives Matter with riots violence, intimidation and purges of those found wanting as well as purges of the physical heritage. Who or what will be purged next? JK Rowling, Fawlty Towers, Gone with the Wind, what else is on the way? The pathetic Archbishop of Canterbury promised mutilation of churches to suit Marxists. Alarm bells are now even ringing among the liberals with a long list of them signing a letter in a US magazine demanding an end to cancel culture.
The damn fools in BLM have made their malevolent intentions obvious and doomed their uprising. They simply could not resist the temptation of a bit of violence.
A key moment was the weekend when the more patriotic people occupied Parliament Square in defence of Churchill’s statue. It does not matter what you think of Churchill. He represents the continuity of our nation and people. I think he’s giving better service now than he ever did when he was alive. The left retreated and the feeble Prime Minister we are lumbered with promised to defend the statue.
It’s been all downhill for Black Lives Matter ever since.
Meanwhile, the Tories, like BLM, could not resist the temptation to foist the crudest form of politics.
Everyone knows how totalitarian regimes retain power by fear. Everyone knows about secret police and knocks on the door for daring to veer from the official line. We have plenty of all that in Britain now. Much easier than fighting crime, so the police love it.
But there is another type of fear which is far more effective since it makes a positive promise. Fear of some external threat which the totalitarians are protecting us from. Preferably something insidious and unseen.
The communists talked of capitalist spies and saboteurs poisoning the food and so on. The Tories have come up with a virus portrayed in apocalyptic terms. They could have engaged a programme of measured action like protecting the vulnerable but decided to go for deprival of civil rights and relentless fear. Brian Gerrish says this has been engineered at least partly by a Cabinet Office section called the Behavioural Insights Team whose job is to manipulate the people without them knowing. It’s the science not politics see.
The fear virus has proved so contagious that The Spectator sharply observed that a lot of people will now go on wearing masks until there is an announcement that death has been abolished.
The problem is that fear is a tempting cheapo policy to win authority and power. But as Peter Hitchens says, if the fear stops authority and power then drain away. So the Tories have got to keep full fear in operation. A few more people dying with covid will be easy to work up into mass panic. Second wave?
But if the fear continues and the restriction orders are intensified to resist any diminution registered on the Government fearometer the economy collapses even further. Economic collapse is self-reinforcing as Keynes realised. Queuing outside Nandos to save a fiver in August courtesy Waiter Rishi won’t make much difference. Nor the billions printed and spent extra pounds injected into the economy above the automatic stabiliser of the dole after the economy partly reopens with the furlough ended. The sums are minute compared to GDP.
The Tories are stuck. Totally wreck the economy or lose authority and power. It could not happen to nicer people. BLM are very nice people too.
Instilling fear is intoxicating and there was lots of practice with ‘Project Fear’ as Brexit looked possible – Seeing the results of your power is super intoxicating and ‘The Mask’ on every individual is even more iconic of power than the empty streets of ‘Lockdown’ – Meanwhile lets hope the author is correct and BLM has blown the gaff and ended the stealth and now revealing themselves to all as the anarchists they are – Similarly it seems that China’s trade sanctions on Australia has cast realisation on the World not to be dependent on the Chinese Communist Party for vital trade. A revelation that their attacks on India, Hong Kong, and the South China Sea may never have done. (Ironically the attack on Australia was not really needed, China could just have ignored Australia’s request for investigation.)
The mask is like a fake religion run by a psychopath where only obedience to him will save you.
The Fat Fraud is now running scared begging people to return to offices and save the economy. Unfortunately that won’t happen without abandoning the fear policy and they can’t.
Latest BBC lunacy drop Rule Britannia which is about NOT becoming slaves.
Well it’s simple enough Mike. – Give the BBC something more to worry about, like their business continuation. – End their Mafia business style, and make them battle for ratings like other commercial broadcasters. – It would be healthy !
well said Ian Bateson.
Much cleverer to get the “patriotic party” to do most of the damage. labour in the wings to provide the frighteners. I go back to the1970s and saw Heath do it. We petitioned the Quen. We wondred why it did no good.
I come back to the whole party system, which is, in its system, the revolution against our constitution and liberty. Until you understand that yoiu understand nothing. The party system prevents our constitution from functioning correctly.
Those who mention UKIP and Nigel and Blaiklock and Brexit Party as saviours just do not grasp what I have said. The aforesaid may have some good policies but by consenting or operating the party system they consent to all its mechanisms and as history has shown the “oithers” always get in. The “government” always gets in!! The tyranny of the revolution continues. First HS2, now Covid-19. How much more evidence do you need?
Every party manifesto is a “collectivisation” or centralisation of policy and power in the hands of a few. They trick us into consenting to this centralisation of power by making us believe one man one vote is “democracy”. No it is not. It is “universal suffrage”, as Zimbabwe demonstraes only too well.
“How Political Parties Corrupt our Constiutution” explains how it is done.

Pauline, I agree the British people have guts, but I think the majority have been so brainwashed by EUism that they haven’t got much of a clue.
They did get it together enough to vote for LEAVE in the referendum, because at last the penny had begun to drop that it was their own elected Parliamentarians who were doing the brainwashing as agents of the gangsters in the EU.
Four years ago on 23rd June, there was a certain amount of gung-ho revolutionary spirit abroad, but it lasted perhaps for just 6 months and then under the incessant REMAIN conspiracy lapsed into the customary apathy land I’m afraid that means the 48 per cent who voted remain for sure plus a sizeable percentage who have been subsequently infected with remain fear teachings, taken from the leave voter so
Nigel did pretty well to raise the ‘bolshy’ spirit, but where is he now? And I don’t see or hear of any successor who will get anything going beyond a few.hardy fighters (with guts)
.into the bargain I don’t believe there are above 10 percent who have a clue of the dangers of World Government, are worried by the loss of Free Speech, are astonished at the reduction of our service capacity and ability to defend our position on the world stage, nor the value of the Commonwealth (that’s even if they remember there is one)
……….and as for the necessity of reindustrialisation (export or die!) or even how we are going to earn our crust in the big wide world.
Please tell me we have a clue and know why we left the EU and have a proper PLAN for the future of our INDEPENDENT stand alone nation.
Johnson has a plan. Out of the EU and ‘Global Britain’ as a world trader with limitless opportunity for all. Heard that one? That folks means GLOBALISATION. See my article a few months ago still flagged on here. If they can’t have globalisation via the EU because people won’t stand for the fudging after four years then we’ll have it on our own. You will obey.
How do we reverse the Left’s Long March Through the Institutions?
London AM Peter Whittle is doing excellent work with his New Policy Form. Well worth following.
I’m going to be liked by a few, but disliked by the many as you read on. ….. THE CHRISTIAN HOLY BIBLE used to be the firm ground upon which our Laws were enacted and stood. – Put to one side your belief or non belief for a moment, as any mention of the Christian Faith usually makes an individual stop at that point, without further thought, and please go easy on financial laws as they tend to be people driven, although the Bible says ”Give unto (the ruler) that which is his, but give unto God that which is His also”.
Such Christian based Laws, were generally accepted universally, but in the last half century there has been some abandonment of principal, with a corruption brought in by ‘expediency’, which cuts across Bible teaching. – I have no intention to be specific on this, as I believe that sufficient of a vestige of ‘Old Values’ still exists in the minds of many. – The National CofE, as with some other Christian Churches present today, cannot duck some responsibility for the legalistic mess that we have now. – Holding your tongue in the face of error is not polite, it is foolishness !
The UK of GB used to be generally Christian, but unenforced with freedom. – Almighty God looked upon us with some favour, and prompted some to spread The Good News. – Today the door is wide open, and held there for another religion to enter with an alien god. – Almighty God does not bring damnation upon us, but turns away from us in the hope that we will realise, repent and correct. – It is a job for the people to do, within the freedom of our belief ! ….. There. – I warned you that many reading this would dislike me !
I think there is an official at Lambeth Palace called the Archbishop of Expediency
Yes Mike, and we will see that when the Coronation oath is adjusted, and a divorced adulterer is crowned. – He can then explain the reason for abdication of Edward Vlll in 1936, and the Margrett/Townsend problem. – Of course the Archbishop could cut the knot of the connect of Church and State. – It would guarantee his place in our history, but at a cost to his Church !
Strikes me Mike Newland, King Henry V111th was the King of Expediency. On the other hand I’m glad he broke free of the Church of Rome as it was at that time. CofE was not much different but under Queen Elisabeth 1st things went well for Britain for a while. Church and State were in their rightful place. Then it was almost literally blown up at the accession of James 1st, (V1th of Scotland).
I’m sure, Mike Maunder that Catherine of Aragorn was not a virgin when Henry V111th married her, having been previously married to his brother. I have no objection to Charles being crowned Charles 111rd. Such ideas are are old fashioned though I’m sure you could argue that Jesus said ‘sin no more’. Are they now ‘sinning’?
There is no final answer to such discussion and I would have some difficulty even justifying our patriotism and insistence that U.K. be a sovereign Nation, except to say that Empires have always turned evil due to corruption. So on that we are in total agreement.
Globalism is also a danger now. So is Islam. So also is Communist China. Britain should free herself from all.
Many Thanks Pauline for your point of view, with historical backing that we both can agree upon. – Of course if you can see The Almighty becoming ‘modern’ and winking at Charles as he is anointed in his Coronation, then I guess all will be well, but the Archbishop of Expediency (or Canterbury), will need to explain himself on this ! ….. William as the next Monarch would correct this, to the satisfaction of the people and to God !
There is a lot of truth in Michael Newland’s article. However, I do not fully agree with any of the Comments so far. I still believe it is not right to brand the present Tory Government as bad as previous so called Tory governments. Cameron? Come off it he was a weak kneed nonentity. Totally wrong to even consider homosexual ‘marriage’ in Church of England of course. That was only one of his idiotic failures.
Yes Boris has NOT stood up to BLM as well as he should have but I would say so much damage had already been done to ALL our institutions that he had few weapons to hand.
The article is quite right to talk of fear leading to dictatorial powers being taken by government. Yes they did with the lock down measures etc. Be fair though, it was not actually the Government that stoked the FEAR. Some of their measures were wrong but look at the ‘institutions’ advising them.
No way did I support Tories in the past but at the moment I don’t think they are doing too badly with present circumstances. I think our economy will recover in ways ‘experts’ do not expect. The British people have guts.
The economy always recovers but at what price along the way? Yes panic was promoted all over but the Government has seen what they think is an opportunity and seized it with relish. The actual virus measures have been all over the place, Confusion creates fear. The latest is masks in shops apparently. Virus goes down further thanks Tories. Virus goes up more totalitarianism. Actually the British have been utterly feeble in defending their interests for decades.
Expecting the unprincipled so-called ‘Conservative Party’ to live up to its name is tantamount to urinating into the wind, because it has long fallen to the Cultural Marxists’ ‘long march through the institutions’, along with not only all the other mainstream political parties, but also the Church of England, big capitalism, and just about every organ of the State.
When David Cameron became Prime Minister in 2010, no one – not even Stonewall – was demanding the legalisation of same-sex marriage, yet here was a Tory government, of all things, that pushed this attack on traditional family values through without even a referendum. He was duly followed by Theresa May, who not only sought to diminish our freedom of speech and criticism by strengthening Blair’s so-called ‘hate-speech laws’, but also to pander to the transgender lobby by seeking to legitimise the false argument that a man can become a woman – and threaten a heavy legal prosecution against anyone who dare argues against it In this, she received massive support for her fellow Tory MPs, as well as wholehearted support from those of the Opposition parties in Parliament – and big business!.
Now we have the supposed ‘loveable buffoon’ Boris Johnson, who has been hailed as some kind of ‘great saviour’, despite being on record for supporting the European Union, the Single Market, Turkey’s admission, and a wholesale amnesty for all the illegal migrants here in Britain – and still doing nothing as they continue to arrive in great numbers on England’s southern coast!
Who needs the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn when we have the fake-Conservative Party under Cameron, May, Johnson, and whoever is next, to ensure the fulfillment of the Cultural Marxist agenda by destroying our nation state and its traditional values?
I thank Mr Newland for his interesting article. Unlike him, I am hopeless at using the English language. One needs much time to produce even a paragraph which might make sense to anyone else. However, here’s a start to today’s sermon.
The present AoC is not only pathetic but pitiful and pretentious. He could well be the runt amongst the clergy. I took an instant dislike to him when he first appeared on the scene. And he certainly had NO DIVINE AUTHORITY to deny churchgoers their RIGHT to enter and pray it THEIR places of worship during the current fiasco.
However, I also have little faith that our PM will actually take us OUT of the EU. Yea, BOJO is a charmer and ‘Didn’t he do well at the last General Election’? But why does that Barnier thingy think he has an arrangement with our lovable lad which will actually stop this ISLAND NATION being ruled by FOREIGNERS? (Oh dear. I am such a pessimist. I trust I not ruining anyone else’s day.)
Plus, of course, we peasants should never have been imprisoned in our own cell-blocks/retreats before being charged, removed, tried and found guilty of something or other. Yea folks, power has gone to the heads of certain others.
Do yourself a favour and don’t waste your time analysing why Communism, Nazism or any other kind of related -ism succeeded or failed – they were all created as fronts and financed by powers behind the scenes (Marx was spoon fed his ideas). Just acquaint yourself with Antony C Sutton’s work (he didn’t do Mao, that’s similar) to understand how Lenin, Trotsky, Hitler and assorted freaks were put in power and nurtured and given the means to wreak deliberate barbaric havoc.
Indeed, all the modern political ‘*isms’ (including Zionism) are the creation of these agents and the NWO is just the old one which they want us back in, repackaged, electronically surveyed and medicated:

I spent ages agonising over why the people supposed to be working for ‘us’ were doing anything but. I see Oxford (our main university political spawning ground) as the equivalent for Georgetown (founded by John Carroll) and Yale (Skull And Bones) in the USA – where the subversion is more blatant. I’m sure it is the ‘J’s – but not the ones people usually suspect, as I did – they, eg: topically, Epstein, are there to take the ‘heat’ and for the rewards.
The front in our recent national life is big power and business which wants a world business park and tame drone workers. I see Johnson is about to step up the masking. Promote the fear!
