The political left never let a crisis get in the way of an opportunity, especially when furthering their agenda. The UK finds itself trapped between two elements of the radical left: Black Lives Matters, a radical left-wing organisation from the USA, which originates from the Black Panther movement from the 1960s, and Antifa, a radical left-wing organisation with it roots in Euro-Communism. Essentially, these two groups have united in their goal to force concessions through the threat of or actual violence, creating radical left change, with no political mandate.
Make no mistake, the UK is now in as much danger than it was in 1940. These riots did not just happen overnight; clearly, they have been long-planned, and these movements are allegedly well funded according to here and here.
Perhaps you think I am exaggerating the danger we face? Well, at the moment, we have an eighty seat majority (so-called) Conservative government. This is a position as good as it really gets, or so one would think. This government’s behaviour throughout its term of office has been cowardly, weak, incompetent, and completely ineffectual. Could you imagine if this had occurred during Thatcher’s premiership? In case you missed them, here are three excellent summaries of the situation we now face, first by Hitchins, second by Delingpole and third by McKinstry.
Johnson’s government is behaving like it is a minority government. Johnson, initially compared to Thatcher, is no Thatcher. He resembles more each day that other ‘One Nation’ Tory, Ted Heath. History does indeed repeat, and the UK (and the Tory Party) may well be in the same situation that the 1970s Britain where Heath’s government found itself. The left are aware Johnson is more Mayor material than Premier material. He likes to be liked, but as a PM, you are not there to be liked, you are there to do the right thing for your nation.
The left smell weakness, akin to a shark smelling blood, and the sharks are indeed circling around this government. The new government’s political waters were tested by Extinction Rebellion, and for me, the key moment was here in Cambridge in February 2020. This proved two points to the left, firstly, the eighty seat majority Johnson government was weak, cowardly, and had no political will; secondly, the police had become a political police force, uninterested in law enforcement.
A couple of months before the lock-down, with no push back, either from the government or more worryingly, the police, the scene was now set. The radical left realised that, under the right conditions, and at the right moment, there was an opportunity for political change. With the defeat of Corbyn, this was the only route the left had to exert political change without the troublesome necessity of the electoral process.
The Labour Party has gone very quiet, apart from Starmer hopping onto the woke bandwagon. People may think this is because Labour are not clever; I see it differently. In essence, they do not need to do anything. Johnson, like May, Cameron, and Major before him, are doing the lefts work for them. Starmer may well end up PM out of this whole disaster.
As Napoleon allegedly once said, ‘Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself.’ This applies equally to Johnson’s Conservative Party. The problem is they do not hold any conservative values; they don’t actually believe in anything. The Home Office is a complete shambles, for example, here and here, things can only get worse. Wait until October/November when the unemployment figure rockets to well over 3 million and the debt mountain will need repayment, taxes will have to rise or services cut. ‘Our’ NHS will demand more to their already bloated budget as a reward for saving everyone during the Coronavirus outbreak, and Johnson will duly oblige to look nice. There will never be any meaningful NHS reform now.
Brexiteers should not pin too much hope on a clean Brexit with the current PM. He may not realise it, but Brexit may be the Conservative government’s last chance saloon. A May like deal (very likely if you go by the Withdrawal Agreement) will be the end of the Tory Party as is. The Conservatives may well split, similar to what happened during the repeal of the Corn Laws. In all honesty, most of the Parliamentary Conservatives would be better at home in the Liberal Democrats anyway. You could count the number of true conservatives on one hand.
We are seeing a trend of conservative voices being systematically de-platformed from the media, such as here and here. Additionally, any voices that do not support the left’s narrative or the ‘official’ permitted viewpoint will be shut down by Big Tech. We are seeing acute double standards, such as here compared to here. Even in sport, the rules regarding banning political messages mysteriously have shifted, such as here, compared to here.
To me, this is geared completely towards undermining and preventing Trump’s re-election in the USA, that is the real objective. The global left, as it should be described, are acting as one. It is just too convenient and coincidental that this has occurred in so many countries worldwide, with the same endgame being played out. This is a global phenomenon, make no mistake about it.
On a final note, it is worth remembering the words of George Orwell:
“… every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
The Conservative Party may as well rename itself The English Socialist Party (aka Ingsoc) right now…they are well on the way.

BRAVO !!

The next step in ” The Evolution of Man ”
Disbanding of Committees, and the removal of any powers or decision.
Approved unanimously.
At one stage of a previous existence I was `out on the road selling` for my wife`s business.
I would sometimes meet on a cold call an `enthusiast` for my lovely wonderful products and after seems like a two hour examination of both our business and the goods we produced – came the moment to close the deal.
“Oh please leave your details and I will put it to the next meeting of my committee” was all the order I walked out with..
mind you even worse was meeting one of your own customers at a trade exhibition, showing them all the new lovelies and being left with their short leavin remark “see you on the road”, yes I call regularly and they are only interested in suppliers they don`t see.
But trade fairs are good aren’t they. Lots of Non-customers.
Oops This was areply to Michael D. On mobile so not very acurate on buttons.
Yes of course I was taking the ‘P’.
For all his ups and downs, Nigel Farage was brilliant, started the fight against the EU, exposed the fraud, built the UKIP army that cornered Cameron, got us the Referendum…which we WON. God knows why he quit when he did, we knew the LibLabCon would cheat, maybe he was tired. But The Brexit Party was an amazing achievement and Nigel completed his trophy case of scalps: Cameron, Clegg, Miliband, May, Soubry, Clarke, that joke Jo Swinson, Lord Adonis (who the xxxx is he anyway) arguably also Corbyn, the list is huge. But now the Tory Property Developer Party (that’s all it is, property developers are the biggest funders, that’s why our borders are open, follow the money) has lost it’s little mind, cannot deal with physical and virtual attacks on the people of this country – they HAVE TO go.
Let’s hope Nigel is planning something huge because there’s no one else with the balls to stand up for Britain.
Russell Hicks – ONE almighty Hurrah!
This is the truest message I have ever seen on the site.
I have been extolling the political virtues of Nigel Farage from the very first time I saw him perform on television.
As I have said on SO MANY occasions here, there is simply no-one to touch him in the sphere of British Politics. He reigns supreme.
Why?
Because he comes across as being honest, fearless and totally British.
He will respond to ANY question put to him – with no evasions.
A far cry from the dozens of ‘Parliamentarians’ who are simply pretend politicians.
Most of them are committed to nothing other than……..THEMSELVES.
And ultimately I believe that will be their ultimate downfall.
Enter Freddy Vachha – Nigel aside, the last leader to own a pair since Maggie
Interesting article. Throws some light on BLM. As John Lock says himself the main target is the American President Trump. I hope he gets a second term but I’m British.
So, clearly BLM is a violently left wing movement and has now set it’s sights on undermining the British way of life. We actually do still have the Laws and other means to counteract this threat. I wish our government would get a grip and use those methods.
“Starmer may well end up PM out of this whole disaster”. Maybe in 4.5 years. But I can’t see the Tory Party imploding, even over Brexit.
What do y’all think ?
Labour folk and other assorted toss-pots, can only get satisfaction if enough of us listen to, or read their drivel ! – Just let it go !
A sobering and well-expressed analysis of the state of play – a global phenomenon aimed at stopping Trump.
We know what we are up against. We also know that the people cannot win with the current palsied politicos. The one rallying point is Brexit Reform Party. Farage looks as if he is ready again to take on another gargantuan challenge, though he has done more than his bit already. Whatever, that is the only way IMO that we can democratically escape this appalling future.
Here we go AGAIN!
We are supposed to have a Government which GOVERNS…….instead of which we have a violent rabble consisting of professional rioters, looters and general troublemakers who are essentially holding the country to ransom – and those are the ones in the House of Commons.
Am I making this up? Exactly WHERE is the governance? The police are taking a consistently and generally cowardly stance and if anything, are only attacking or corralling the truly peaceful Demonstrators on the Right..
We need action, we need proper policing, and above all we need a Government which governs……..instead of which we have Police who DON’T Police and a bumbling, stammering, failure in Billy Bunter Boris………who cares if he can remember The Odyssey or the complete works of Shakespeare or Cicero……read Latin of Greek.WHO really bloodywell cares? All I want is for him to ‘get his finger out’ and make these elementary but most essential decisions NOW.
What we want is peace in our towns and villages and looters and rioters jailed……..can he remember THAT?
Excellent article John; too many are sleepwalking into the future that has been planned for many years. Too many distraction strategies at work too like soaps and sports. Surely if people were to waken up to reality all this could be stopped?
This article made a lot of sense to me.
It is very difficult to be a spectator. I continually ask myself “What can be done”.
Democratically we have a vote, once every four years nationally and the same locally but it is not democracy as we vote for members of clubs who will have more commitment t their club than their constituents.
The MSM are no help but an adversary.
I would like to see a counter movement started. Perhaps on the lines of the anti-war movement in USA. “Not in my Name”.
We should call for the banning of Extinction Rebellion, Black Lives Matter and Antifa on the basis that their ranks are committing and inciting illegal acts of violence and vandalism. This would not be difficult to justify and would be widely supported.
Then a campaign of speeches, leaflets and pamphlets. Silent marches like the brilliant one by Footballers Alliance. They were unresponsive to vicious goading by Antifa groups.
It is about time the silent majority woke up and started explaining where these people are going wrong and being used and where it is all going to end up.
The purpose of marches can be for a call to ‘defund universities’, ‘’remove charitable status of large NGOs’, ‘defund the BBC’, ‘stop second jobs in government’, ‘prevent private work by NHS staff’, and lots more. We must wake up!
Thanks John Locke
“Democratically we have a vote”. Sorry, Kim. What you’ve described is called ‘suffrage’, not ‘democracy.’ When we vote on party lines we accept the party manifesto, warts and all. Even those things we don’t necessarily agree with. Our vote is unconditional and it is taken as such by each party.
Banning BLM and Extinction Rebellion may be possible. If so I agree. Maybe it would have to be done via banning Protests by BLM and Extinction Rebellion. E.R. did close down our Capital City not long ago. There again we have the Mayor to cope with too.
The resistance to the left in UKIP was Nigel and the country.
The lefties in ukip devised an nec and destroyed Nigel
The Politically ‘aware’ within UKIP said all the daft stuff. like manifestos, spokespersons etc etc.
A total lack of leadership or its understanding contributed. Total total lack. !
The fracturing into splinter ‘parties’ by potential leaders, helped syphon away support. Leaving destructive lefty leaning and the Politially Aware.in charge of a committee.
A committee finally killed the corpse. The members are admirable. The whole is disgusting.
But funnily enough and despite all the political nonsense, an amazing number of the public still support Nigel and the right.
So let’s bury the tactics of the left in ukip, and support individuals. Bring back those who’ve left in disgust. They are the winners.
I am reminded of Dostoievski’s book crime and punishment – the part (1/3rd way through) about flogging a dead horse.
UKIP is long dead – move along now, nothing to see here . . .
But it’s all there is
And anything new will be as daft asthe existing lot. The mold has to be broken’
John – thanks for writing this, I was just about to write a similar article but you beat me to it, I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Have a look at this Jeff Taylor video, I agree with him too:
“UK economic reset is on the way! (4k)”
https://youtu.be/CotFZBUM8EY
For years I’ve been trying to work out the nature of the financial and economic catastrophe that is now unfolding, at last I I’m getting some inkling of what is going to happen.
Probably we may have some deflation in asset prices or those things that we purchase with credit but government money printing will cause hyperinflation in the goods that we buy daily, without credit, food being the most important item but many other essentials too. We’re already starting to see this, if Johnson had any sense he’d get a trade deal going ASAP with Australia and New Zealand, they have the ability to feed us and I don’t think the EU will be able to for much longer.
If the people rioting on our streets think that they have something to complain about now, just think how they’ll feel when they start going hungry, it’ll be a very violent disaster. Things are bad but you haven’t seen anything yet.
So many of the worlds largest economies are tanking, I think that this will soon lead to another major war and much of it will be fought out on our streets.
I’m sorry I’ve had to be brief but I’ve just been summoned by my wife and so I must go.
I agree with Mr Taylor. We can only guess and look at the people in charge… Whos sole purpose is to produce lemmings.
