There always be those who accept the word of others. If questions are posed then the answers are accepted as a given and if no answers are given, then that’s ok too.
The British are very good at doing as they are told. Perhaps not as good as the Chinese but we know there is a good reason for that. After all doing as one is told got this country through the Second World War. We don’t argue the toss, but accept the orders. Ours is not to reason why.
We have had lots of practice at accepting the word of others.
We do not expect answers from our hard working politicians who need to get on with important matters of state. Surely the biggest conspiracy theory is that our politicians are working on our behalf. We are willing participants in our own oppression. Why on earth would we make life hard when we can just roll over? Abdicate your responsibilities; it’s easy.
Not only apathy but susceptibility may finally mark our fate.
There is good governance now, now that Boris is in charge. Didn’t he allow HS2, didn’t he ‘do the right thing’ when Covid-19 first appeared, sending those poor people home from hospitals. Didn’t he neglect the care homes and support the homeless refugees escaping torture, hunger, disease and strife, in war torn France. Does he talk a good ‘fraudulent’ talk?
Fraud: “an intentional deception to deprive a person of a legal right”.
Politicians are continuously fraudulent, never mind the unlawful gain. Yet we ignore the fraud.
Fraud unravels everything
Lord Denning – Lazarus v Beasley
We are compliant, and thus complicit in their fraud, especially when linked to health. Compliance sounds easy and so rational. ‘Yes’ is such a better word than ‘No’? We live the lie.
Why do the British public struggle to assert themselves, to question and to challenge their ruling classes and make them accountable?
Is it through a lack of confidence, an inbred fear of the unknown, apathy, laziness or ignorance? Is there a sense of duty, an escalation of commitment, an unswerving belief that we will survive. We are good at constructing sophisticated excuses, a type of self-deception that mitigates our cognitive dissonance. Do we cowardly avoid the risk of attracting unwanted attention?
There could be a number of reasons – perhaps we can blame the MSM for our lazy thinking. If we were stronger willed and confident at challenging then wouldn’t our leaders also be stronger willed and confident, at lying?
We are compliant especially when told it is for our own good. This laziness runs through us like Brighton in a stick of rock.
As members of the EU how can it take over 40 years to realise we were being lied to about the theft of our sovereignty and identity?
Because we lived the lie.
52/48 is not a huge majority, enough, but not huge, but then we were lied to about the consequences of voting to leave. As the cliff edge dissolves and leaving looks brighter, have we learnt a lesson?
Between 1972 and 2016 the Conservative Party were in power for 26 years and for every one of those years they lied about the EU. The Labour Party was no better, arguably worse, for the other 18 of those years.
These were not small lies, they were whoppers, continuous and treasonous.
But still people support these corrupt parties.
We find now that the EU was only the first part of a grand web of lies including the UN, their offshoot the WHO, and many more organisations, rotten at the centre. A good example, under our noses, is the BBC. Perhaps Brexit has moved forward the ‘agenda’, dangerously speeding up implementation of the master plan before the EU collapses and their opportunity for a global government is destroyed.
The question stands unanswered.
Why do the British public struggle to challenge the Establishment?
But then everything is provided for. Our wonderful NHS, with lots of spare capacity, is still there to worship.
The lies continue. Take hydroxychloroquine, a medicine that is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system and in use for over 60 years. Now that it challenges the panic pandemic it is dangerous.
There is a lack of talk about the numbers of empty hospital beds, the fact that Covid-19 was removed from the status of ‘high consequence infectious disease’ four days before the UK lockdown. The low mortality rate, not just here, but in the entire world. Sweden’s mortality rate for Covid-19 is lower than France, Italy, Spain and the UK, without lockdown.
With so many ‘experts’ disagreeing about various aspects of this disease there is little chance for ordinary people to understand events.
What can be agreed on is that there is ignorance or a cover up, or more cynically a hidden agenda. Could it be a mixture of all three with opportunism added?
The phoney war is almost over but as the thousands of neglected, frightened, sick and wounded, trail in for treatment, Covid-19 carriers of course, the real war, that for our liberty and freedom is underway.
The mantra of Stay Home, Stay Alert and Stay Safe grows thin.
Social distancing is not healthy, latex gloves and face masks are not healthy and lack of human contact is not healthy. Our children are at risk. Not to be inquisitive, suspicious or concerned about the conflict of evidence unravelling before us, is unhealthy.
But then living a lie is unhealthy too.
Are we being cheated out of our very nature? Is this an experiment in epigenetics, another battle we will have to fight?
We are living a lie that will cost us our liberty and humanity if we do not stop.
But there is always hope. There is a train, and it is coming to England.
The word is… ‘Join hands’ and get on it.
The next big lie will be that forced Covid vaccination is necessary and safe. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/smith-why-public-should-rebel-against-forced-vaccinations
Be very afraid when they announce, I predict later this year, that a vaccine has been found and will be mandatory. I understand it should normally take 8 to 15 years to test a new vaccine, so does this one already exist? Or havent they tested it? Plus Gates refuses to accept liability for lawsuits for medical damage, which I think are very likely. Plus we need to beware trade deals pushing that liability onto British taxpayers. In Germany people are protesting about this already; it’s time for us to join them. I add I have no confidence whatsoever that our Govt care about us or will shield us from predators like Gates.
We’re not alone. This is well worth watching:
Brilliant and so true! We need a disrupter like Sky Australia here in the UK.
Why do we allow politicians and MSM to talk about statistics of deaths per country as there are far too many variables to use that comparison accurately
And actually it does not matter, its just being used as a weapon to keep the public in submission
Harry The article in the Telegraph does stress that it is only this week that Sweden has had the highest death rate per million not the total deaths per million over the whole period. There is a difference.
In Court referencing Wonkypedia will not get you very far for obvious reasons.
Let me help you out.

Your comment is very enlightening. Thank you for your quotes from the Oxford English Dictionary. The Jurisprudence of Lord Denning is a book in three volumes. The contents are very interesting and is why I particularly admire this man and why I used a quote by him. I am not a qualified person but many of the fundamentals come back to honesty and a disposition for good.
We are not in court, of course, but I thought the link would merely focus the point. As you will know the use of links can save word count in what are essentially short essays and for the same reason I could not go into depth on legal reasoning. I do hope that I did not insult your intelligence but that you found the essay of some interest and appreciated the point I was making.
I would say that MP’s alone, regardless of many the other members of our beloved Establishment, are guilty of one kind of fraud or another even in legal terms. Here’s another Wonkypedia link.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_parliamentary_expenses_scandal
Wrong.
The Swedish experiment has failed. The death rate there is out of hand now and will continue to rise whatever they do.
Try to get your “facts” right.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/05/20/sweden-becomes-country-highest-coronavirus-death-rate-per-capita/
https://www.wired.co.uk/article/sweden-coronavirus-herd-immunity
Finland 320 deaths 5,540,010 population.
One City Partially locked down (Helsinki) now lifted – the rest open season.
A close relative lives there and ‘parlays Suomi’ and ‘parlays Sveedish’. The Finns cannot fathom the huge numbers of deaths elsewhere.
And by the way, that close relative caught Flu Man Chew during visit at Xmas, in rural Scotland (and not dead but been teaching back home (in Finland) for many weeks now!).
Interesting FACTs eh??
So, who to believe? Worldometers as of this moment (Sunday 1900 hrs) – deaths per million population: Sweden 435, Belgium 817, UK 567 .. So why see Sweden’s strategy as ”a failure”? It looks more successful than many. And why so gleeful, Harry, at the idea of Sweden failing?
And deaths will ”continue to rise”? Who says? The Daily Telegraph. Oh, yeah. Have you read the tripe they’ve been publishing recently?
Attack the Committee culture. It is dangerous , avoids responsibility, Never does it’s job,and is alovely warm placeof safety where no thought or anything else is needed except yourself. Which is of course worthless except to those who would use it. There are now so many committeesof all kind in London, it’s a wonder anything gets done. Except for the fact that london thieves all the other counties Infrastructure money…. Sick.
You may know the one:-
“Bored, don’t like working on your own, and hate making decisions?”
“Then call a meeting!”
“You can see people draw flow charts, feel important, form sub-committees, impress your colleagues, and make meaningless recommendations. All on company time.”
I have found Robert Henderson’s articles and have a look.
Thank you TGS.
“Why do the British public struggle to challenge the Establishment?”
IMHO the liberal left have been sucessfully challenging the Establishment since the end of WW2. So successful they have been, they now largely make up the Establishment. Their people are in place in every corporation, NGO, charity and public sector department including the police, education, justice system, welfare and Whitehall. Precious few of those engaged in careers in the aforementioned sectors can expect to cultivate a rewarding career without embracing the values and politics of the liberal left. Dissenters will find obstacles and resentment at every turn if they express centre right politics or challenge the prevailing orthodoxies.
It appears to me that it is predominantly those on the centre right that struggle to challenge the Establishment. So entrenched is the liberal left agenda there is no easy way for it to be challenged. Perhaps the centre right will need to get together to plan and organise their own ‘long march through the institutions but that involves enormous amounts of unpaid time and committment that from my experience the liberal left are more prepared to give than those on the centre right.
Having said that we should not underestimate the enormous success we have had in our fight for Brexit and that is largely due to people, up and down the coutry, of the calibre, selflessness and gritty determination of our two wonderful ladies presenting this website.
Thought provoking article – thank you.
Thank you for your kind comments Jake. Viv and I do our best – thank you all for your support.
It really is my pleasure. I cannot disagree with your comment. This is where I struggle between ‘but’ and ‘however’. The basic point I was trying to make was not on an ideological level but on a tribal psyche level. It is a challenge of upbringing and character of the British. That is why I went back to the Crimean War but could have gone back further. Now it is something of a burden.
You are right the ‘Establishment’ has changed and the ‘liberal left’ have had the fervour and energy to infiltrate and corrupt far better and thus upset the balance. I am afraid they have floated to the top. But it isn’t just in our country.
It is a fascinating subject and I will quickly get out of my depth. Thank you for the comment. And again agree on the effort that makes this site good.
Thanks Kim.
Jake Bennett. Well said, I agree.
‘Precious few of those engaged in careers in the aforementioned sectors can expect to cultivate a rewarding career without embracing the values and politics of the liberal left. Dissenters will find obstacles and resentment at every turn if they express centre right politics or challenge the prevailing orthodoxies’ – spot on. Having had a full career in the police as a PC from the 1980’s until recently I can say, with certainty, this is the case. All promotion and internal job applications from the mid 90’s onwards were dependent on cultivating and developing your politically correct and diversity credentials. Failure to do so meant you stayed static within the organisation. With this in mind, imagine how far you had to go to achieve the highest competitive ranks?
I agree Tiger. It was the same in my profession – journalism.
Excellent Kim.
UKIP appears to be stirring. Or was that you kicking them. Hopefully
I reccommend everyone should read th Free Markets, Free Trade,Item above. It as absolutely correct.
Peter Hitchens always said that a party rivalling the Tory party (like UKIP) could never have got off the ground unless the Tory party were utterly destroyed first. He says our opportunity to do this was 10 years ago and we blew it.
Not sure about the 10 years ago.I joined UKIP in November 2009, never having been involved in politics before – in any capacity. I seem to remember there was a leadership election going on and dirty internal politics seemed to be to the fore, it seemed to involve particularly someone of doubtful gender.
anyway eventually we ended up with a peer as leader Lord……….of Rannoch. Unfortunately he was an awfully nice chap, ultra sound politician, but he just didn`t have the pasaz to galvanize the party.
Eventually the party came to its senses and we got Nigel back.
He had got the bit between his teeth and saw a political party couldn`t get anywhere without “real” money so he set out to get big donors – they came, but they weren`t going to come from the left and so the result was we took on a Tory aspect, which upset many of the grass roots fighters who had originally put their hard earned cash and time in.
Meanwhile Nigel`s big plan encouraged by Canadian political events realized the way ahead could only be achieved by alienating as many Tory MPS, local party councilors and party workers and in fact bringing about a reverse takeover of the Parliamentary Conservative party and indeed it looked as though he could be on the right track, but only Carsewell and Reckless flipped. It was said 40 might have moved and certainly Nigel was getting a load of Councillors and other party workers on board.,There was also the import of office holders at high level from a young Tory research group YBF – the name of a “nasty” Secretary Matthew Richardson comes to mind..
Yes we did blow it then and Nigel resigned only to be persuaded it was all a “Dallas style dream” and he stayed on.
To be honest I thought Nigel had a good plan, he put everything into it .
Also to be honest I cannot think at the time what other device could have been used to overthrow the Conservative Party.
Any ideas onyone?
