System Restore – Maggie Thatcher and Michael Foot Return to the Stage!
They say that fashions change in cycles and that if we wait long enough, those bell-bottomed jeans we loved in the 1970s will come back into fashion again, and it seems this is just as true in the ‘bread and circuses’ world of electoral politics as anywhere else. For some years now the public have become progressively less and less interested in politics, finding the three main establishment parties virtually indistinguishable in terms of the…
Leaders Conference – Quest for Unity & Direction
Following the controversy of Nick Griffin’s ultimately disastrous stewardship of the British National Party, that party has shed most of its former members and the nationalist movement in this country has become fragmented and disoriented. Today our movement is composed of a number of comparatively small organisations, many of them tiny, and all of them largely impotent in terms of being able to effect political change either now or within the foreseeable future. In recent…
As the Dust Settles … Europe on the Brink
Three weeks on from the fateful day when the British people finally managed to throw off the death grip that the EU held us in, we can look back on a turbulent period during which money markets and stock markets have see-sawed violently and during which several major politicians, and some minor, have seen their career prospects first raised up, and then dashed upon the rocks. Now however, as the dust settles, we find Boris…
Further Reflections on Brexit
Well, we did it. A first, indispensable, step has been taken towards the healing of our nation. The generations of the First and Second World Wars gave everything to save Britain from foreign domination and invasion, but the fear that the present generation might throw away their sacrifice has proved unfounded. We should thank God, rejoice and enjoy it for a day or two – and then get down to the arduous, long term business of completing the healing…
As Year Four of Our Struggle Begins
As 2015 draws to a close, many of us will be looking back over the year, assessing what has been achieved and deciding what new needs to be done if we are to be more successful in 2016, than we have been in the past. This is a time of year for reflection and for resetting our compass, if we have started drifting off course, and it is the same whether we are considering our…
Sixty Five Point Three Per Cent
By Frederick Dixon: If you were lucky – because it received little coverage – you will have caught that news item the other day; that the percentage of White British births in England and Wales fell in 2014 to its lowest level ever of 65.3%. Well, of course it was the lowest level ever (so far) because until not so long ago, and well within living memory, nearly everyone in the country was White British and so, naturally,…
Some Thoughts on the Corbyn Phenomenon
By Max Musson: Most people from all political persuasions are both surprised and bemused by the election of Jeremy Corbyn to the leadership of the Labour Party, not knowing quite what to think. There are those members of the public who are of a more radical left-wing persuasion who will no doubt be rather pleased by Corbyn’s success and the prospect of being able to vote for a decidedly left-wing prime ministerial candidate at the next…
Mind Control and the Election
By Dafydd Ellis: They have used the same template for all elections where their chosen party and leader are promoted as strong and united, while the opposition party and leadership were being exposed as weak and indecisive. Labour in the seventies (weak and indecisive), made way for Thatcher and ‘strong’ leadership in the eighties. With growing public exasperation with the Conservatives, in the nineties it was “time for change” with Tony Blair and New Labour being promoted…
The Corruption & Debasement of our Electoral System
By Max Musson: Yesterday I wrote about some of the shortcomings of our political system here in the UK and in doing so, I referred to “the inadequacies of our electoral system, … the mendacity of our media moguls and the corruption of our politicians”, and today I would like to focus attention on the ‘inadequacies’, or perhaps I should have said the ‘iniquities’ of our electoral system. Political pundits will often blame anomalies within…
British Democracy In Decline
By Max Musson: As the day of the General Election draws near, falling party memberships, falling voter turnout and diminishing respect for those in public life are all factors signalling a widening gulf between those in government and the people they are meant to represent. In recent decades voter turnout at general elections had been gradually falling, dropping from 83.9 % in 1950 to 77.7% in 1992 and following which there was a marked drop of over six percentage points to…
