Watching a program on Amazon Prime I was struck by something said in an advert for the film ‘Conclave’. Ralph Fiennes’ character, a Cardinal, says ‘There is one thing I have come to fear above all things: certainty.” And in regard to politics, I have also come to share that fear. Over recent weeks, many have achieved absolute certainty that Reform is a faction of the Uniparty and will betray the British people if elected. Others have equal certainty that Farage is the Messiah who, if supported uncritically, will lead us back to sanity.
I have no such certainty, either way. If there is any certainty in politics today it is that Labour and the Tories are two cheeks of the same stinking, woke globalist Uniparty backside and that, should a challenger party arise, the Establishment will lie, smear and direct a ferocious propaganda campaign against it. It will also infiltrate it and try to suborn its leaders over to the dark side. These things are as certain as death and tax. But nothing else is certain. Nothing at all.
I’ve long thought that, in order to reclaim our country, the Right must first destroy the fake-conservative Tory Party, a major pillar of the Establishment, it’s Pied Piper, leading gullible patriots down the road to serfdom. Gratifyingly, judging by the recent elections in which the Tories lost all their 16 councils, that task is now nearing completion.
The next task must, therefore, be the destruction of Labour, which does the Establishment’s dirty work, driving the country ever further into WEF/Globalist oblivion and then, when the people sicken of them, leaving it to the Tories to quietly consolidate the damage.
But judging by the recent elections, in which Labour lost one of its safest parliamentary and 187 council seats, that could be accomplished at the next election. And if that happens, a key part of the Establishment’s control infrastructure, the two main pillars that support it, will have collapsed. Much would remain: the Civil Service, Quangos, NGOs, the ‘charities’ and all the other components of the woke globalist new world order, built up over the last three decades. But without the Labour/Tory parliamentary duopoly, Establishment control will be destabilised and made very vulnerable. If we huff and puff hard enough, we should be able to blow the Globalist house of cards right down.
It is important to understand that it’s you and me, the voters, who refused to vote Uniparty, who are responsible for the near destruction of the Tories. And we will also be responsible for the destruction of Labour in the same way. But we need a positive tool take advantage of it. If 39,999,999 people don’t vote or spoil their ballots, and one person votes Labour, we’ll have another God-awful, malignant, malevolent, murderous Labour government again.
So we need a vehicle, a tool, to destroy the Globalist’s control over the parliamentary system. And that means voting Reform, the only party with a cat-in-hells chance of beating the Uniparty. And we really do need to win the next election.
But Farage is a fraud, you say, and Reform's leadership is just another bunch of Tories, or even Islamists. Maybe, maybe not. There is no certainty either way. Is Reform a perfect, even trustworthy party? Don’t be daft. Of course it isn’t. There’s no such thing. Never has been. A political party is necessarily a coalition of varying views, almost always led by charlatans and the glibbest of liars. There are exceptions, but few.
A party seeking to win an election in Britain’s first past the post system must appeal to those in the middle, the ordinary decent folk of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, who are mildly patriotic and just want to get on with their lives without too much interference from the State. We, the righteous, rigorous Right, do not win elections. Those in the ‘centre’ do. We need them. And if nothing else, it is undeniable that Reform has dragged the ‘centre’ much further to the Right than it would be without them.
If the swing to Reform at the Runcorn poll was replicated across the country in a general election, the Tories would land just four seats, Labour 156 and Reform 427, more than enough to restore the sanity we so desperately need. But is Reform what it says it is, and will it do what we want? I don’t know. Neither do you. But I do know that its membership, most of its 677 councillors, and quite likely many of the MPs it will gain at the next election will all want much the same as we do, as will its voters.
So will it deliver fully? Probably not, but I think it a reasonable expectation that it will significantly row back a long way from the woke madness we are now being consumed by. It is already talking about a Musk-type department of efficiency, starting with the councils it ‘controls’, no doubt meeting ferocious opposition from the powerful entrenched bureaucracy. That is already happening in my own Durham CC, won by Reform, where they say they will review contracts to look into what many consider to be a very corrupt Labour machine.
The Reform mayor of Lincolnshire (?) is taking about putting illegal aliens in tents and refusing to house them. Farage says he’ll deport them. It’s going to be very hard rowing back on these promises without major ructions within Reform.
Reform cannot avoid implementing some of its Right-Wing policies, especially if Trump or Vance is in power when (if) they win, but I think they will anyhow follow Trump’s lead in regard to immigration, government corruption and inefficiency, Net Zero, Diversity and, to a lesser extent, multiculturalism. They are too far out on a limb on these issues after all their promises to abandon all their commitments.
Reform’s membership and potential voters have nearly all abandoned factions of the Uniparty, and many are highly sensitive about betrayal and will be watching the leadership like hawks. The leadership, whatever its true complexion, must make significant moves to keep them happy. Like Trump, who is not doing all he said he would, is also making mistakes and allying himself with some questionable people, Farage will not make everybody happy – but a Reform government will be infinitely better than a Labour or Tory one. It cannot fail to be.
And after all the unseemly attacks on Lowe, Reform’s leadership is now vowing to use their newfound powers to block illegal migrants from being housed in areas they control and to launch legal challenges against the leftist government’s green agenda. Chairman Zia has recently said that the Reform will deploy “every instrument of power available” at council level to block the dispersal of so-called asylum seekers throughout the country, using legal injunctions, judicial reviews, and planning laws to stop the further spreading of migrants by the government.
Zia also said “You know, a lot of these hotels – there has been litigation around this already – a lot of these hotels, when you suddenly turn them into something else, which is essentially a hostel that falls foul of any number of regulations, and that’s what our teams of lawyers are exploring at the moment.” Even better, Zia has stated that if elected to government Reform would seek to deport all illegal migrants from the country, saying: “We will be publishing a plan to deport everybody who is currently in this country illegally in our first term of government.” No Tory or Labour politician has said anything remotely like this.
But being better than Labour or the Tories is not good enough. And neither is rowing back on Globalist lunacy while leaving the bedrock ideology in place. We need a system that ensures we will never again be turned into an elective dictatorship. And this is the big problem, and one we cannot afford to trust Reform on. And that leads us to the next major task we on the Right must accomplish: the destruction of the party system, not just the two-party system, but the party system altogether, as it is this that allows dictators to steal democracy and rule in any way they want, as Labour is doing right now.
But to get there, we need a party we can hitch a ride on, and the only roadworthy vehicle going our way is Reform. Yes, it is imperfect in many ways; yes, Farage is an unreliable, egotistical showman; yes, it’s command structure lends itself to autocracy and yes, many Tories are flocking to it. Hands up those of you who have never voted Tory.
And yes, Tice is a snobbish lightweight, and yes, its chairman is a Muslim, and it has Muslim donors. And that is something that puts a lot of people off. But if he was a Jew, many would rightly say that we need to judge folk as individuals, and not stereotype them. And those thinking of moving to Ben Habib’s new party should stop and reflect that he is also a Muslim, or of Muslim heritage. And that could be a good thing, if it can be used to bring in normal, peaceful Muslims willing to integrate and become British.
And so far as I can see, his new Integrity Party is also, like Reform, a company over which he has full control. From its Companies House entry, Benyamin Naeem Habib, is now the sole director, as all three other directors have resigned. They were Christian Russell, Richard John Shaw and Mohammad Shoaib Sohail, a Pakistani national. All three resigned on 11 April this year, four days after Ben Habib was appointed.
I’ve never heard of any of the three directors who resigned and have no idea why they did or what’s going on. If I adopted the same approach of those now claiming Reform is a sell-out, I’d immediately assume the worst, but in my view, it would be foolish to do so. I just don’t know.
All is to play for. We can be certain of nothing except as set out above. It could be that Ben Habib and Rupert Lowe are Establishment plants, tasked with splitting Reform. I don’t think they are, and both seem genuine to me, but we cannot be certain. Likewise, Farage and Zia might be working for the Establishment, and trying to keep Reform within Uniparty boundaries. But we don’t know, and cannot be certain either way.
So, I ask you to embrace the uncertainty and look at the long view and what we want to achieve, which is a genuine democracy and government that is controlled by the British people and which puts Britain, our economy, or safety, our borders our culture and values first. A very Reformation indeed. And getting behind Reform, and taking an active part in it, is the best, possibly only, way to achieve those things. No other Fokker comes close.
