Things Past, Things To Come

With the centenary of the end of the First World War upon us, I found myself the other day contemplating (not for the first time) the War Memorial in a small town in the south of England not far from my home. There they were, the lost boys, row upon row upon row of good English names – and a sprinkling of Irish, Scots and Welsh to keep them company.

What did they think they were fighting for? For King and country I suppose, for the Empire; but I remember a television programme broadcast (I think) on the seventieth anniversary of the Armistice when that question was put to a very old man who had survived the Somme and much else and his reply was very simple – for patriotism.

Patriotism  – by that he must have meant that he fought to save our country from foreign invasion, surely the principal motive of all those men and women, from both World Wars, commemorated on War Memorials up and down the land. We don’t need to ask how realistic was the fear of a German landing because our people believed in it and so they fought accordingly. But now? We have only to look around us to see how our politicians, whether through negligence or malice, have betrayed the great sacrifice and permitted a foreign invasion on a scale which would have been inconceivable in 1918.

So vast has been the extent of the invasion that history is now rewritten to adjust the motives of the fallen to fit them for a multi-cultural, multi-racial, mixed race society from which they would have recoiled in horror had they foreseen what was to come. The fallen of the Second World War fought, we are now taught, not to save us from foreign invasion but for “tolerance” and against “fascism”  – as if anyone (apart from a few Communist veterans of the Spanish Civil War) had any interest in fighting against a political creed! I have yet to see anyone claim that our men fought and died for “Equality and Diversity”, but I suspect that it will come before too long.

I don’t recall Orwell’s precise words, but they were to the effect that “he who controls the present controls the past, and he who controls the past controls the future” – in other words, if you can change our national stories you can change our national identity itself. Hence Jeremy Corbyn’s preposterously false take on our past: “it is vital that future generations understand the role that black Britons played in our country’s history and the struggle for racial equality…black history month is a crucial chance to celebrate the immense contribution of black Britons to this country, to reflect on our common history and to ensure that such grave injustices [i.e. the British Empire] can never happen again”.

Corbyn’s grotesque negrophilia rather poses the question, what immense contribution exactly? This negrophilia is a reflection of his, and the establishment’s, Anglophobia. They no longer love their own folk so they find another on which to fix their affections. The genuinely immense achievements and sacrifices of our people are discredited – an essential part of the process of dispossession and replacement.

So can we ever win back the country which our forebears thought that they were fighting for? It seems impossible when more than a quarter of the children born in the United Kingdom at the present time are non-White. But the world is changing. It just may be – may be – that Corbyn and his like, and the absurdities of political correctness, are the death throes of the soft Marxist cultural revolution which has wrought such havoc since the sixties. Across continental Europe hard Right movements are rising and are entering government. In the United States a patriotic president has destroyed the left/liberal consensus which has governed politics in that country at least since Reagan left office, and has remade the Republican party in his own image.

Here in Britain, evidence for the rise of a nationalist hard right is scant to the point of invisibility, but we will not – because we cannot –  remain immune from the movements now gathering strength beyond our shores. And remember that we did vote for Brexit, and however that gallant break for freedom may turn out, it was we who set the populist ball rolling.

    Never more eloquently stated Frederick. On armistice day I recall with pride, on one hand, members of my and my extended family who were present at battles and in war zones such as Jutland, Passchendaele, Dunkirk, Normandy ( I’m sure most readers of this site have the same connections) and even a Russian refugee element who escaped from St. Petersburg when the Bolsheviks took over. Then, on the other hand, I recall the now oft quoted words ‘if they could see the future they would never have got off the landiing craft,’ and that makes me intensely sad. How did it ever come to this!

    I would like to thank Frederick Dixon for his most apposite thoughts as we commemorate the ending of the two World Wars and the centenary of the First World War Armistice in particular.
    The understandable dismay felt by many people at the way our country has declined into some sort of culturally, deracinated nightmare has even caused some patriots to question whether we should wear a poppy, symbolising as it does, a process which destroyed the British Empire together with much of European civilization.
    However, the answer of the the old soldier cited by Mr. Dixon who when asked what he had been fighting for replied not for King and Country, as we might have expected, but for “patriotism”. Kings and Countries come and go, and not even the staunchest royalist would be likely to lay down his life if by some mischance we should eventually inherit a King Harry and Queen Meghan!
    As it happens I’ve just returned from a service at a Welsh war memorial where ‘Land of my Fathers’ was sung. Land of my fathers actually encapsulates the whole meaning of patriotism because it refers beyond ephemeral institutions to our actual bloodline. In that way it might be argued that the colour red of the poppy is most appropriate as a symbol of racial continuity. Furthermore, just as we might find we have more in common with patriots and racial nationalists from other lands than we do with any misguided “snowflakes” from our country, so there should be no difficulty in regarding the poppy as symbolic of all those who in the past, on which ever side, gave their life blood as an act of self-sacrifice.

    Remembrance this year certainly has been a very somber occasion 100 years on from the armistice, the deaths of millions of British soldiers due to crazy geopolitical mistakes and the subsersive financial elements of our elite will never be forgotten. Only a free and nationalist Europe removed from the shackles of finance capitalism and liberalism will be enough to truly honour their deaths.

    I definitely think about the waste, also on top of this was “Spanish flu” which came from America.
    The sheer loss of culture & ingenuity is incalculable, we only have a fraction left.

    Lothrop Stoddart in his magnum opus refers to the First World War as “Armageddon”. That is a fratricidal civil war between protagonists of the white world and which irreparably weakened it. Stoddart commented that the non-white world rejoiced that the white world was embroiled in such a damaging conflict to its own long term ruination.

    Many people quite appropriately commemorate the fallen in the First World War and their sacrifices. To argue that their sacrifice was futile would be disrespectful and as Frederick stated, many if not most of the fallen fought for patriotic reasons. That is from a sense of loyalty to their country and a dutiful response to a perceived national/international threat.

    In reality internationalist vested interests conspired for the war to begin and conventional history presents Germany as an aggressive power responsible for its eventual outbreak. Little is made of the fact that Germany offered generous peace terms in 1916 when it remained entirely unoccupied and was prepared for the reinstatement of pre-war boundaries.Had the war been conducted in good faith it would surely had ended there and with the subsequent saving of many thousands of lives, the cream of a generation.

    On the centenary of Armistice let us remember the fallen on all sides and reflect their ultimate betrayal!

    Today, SW Nationalists and i ditched our usual cities formal arrangements, and instead made our way to a very beautiful and quiet graveyard, somewhere. I say somewhere because we will not publicise the exact resting place of Mervyn Paice, because however remote the possibility, i would not rule out vandalism to his grave by those who’d rather we forgot. I only found the grave in 2016 and so today, was pleased to see the wreath i left in 2016 and the one Jez Turner left in 2017, were still intact on the grave. Thank you to the caretakers of the graveyard. We left roses and a card signed from all nationalists of Britain. Ray read a poem and we held a minutes silence. Before leaving, we walked around the other graves, and many had ribbons around them to indicate they were fallen soldiers. Every one of the graves with ribbons had a photograph of the young man who laid beneath the ground. So young ! We saw 17 and 18 year olds but none older than 30. Although some were a grainy black and white snap, we saw the faces of the fallen in their youth and prime, bringing a real sense of the man to life and putting a face to the cold stone they lay under. On leaving, one of us made the observation of just how many young men had their faces on their graves and the proportion of numbers for such a small village. As he pointed out, that village lost a great deal of their future in one such evil time in history. It quite affected all of us and went drove home in sombre silence…

    Felt like a spit personality yesterday – in many ways I wanted to attend the local celebration of the Armistice , but my utter disgust with the current state of affairs stopped me going. More appropriate would be a national show of sorrow and shame that what these young men sacrificed themselves for has been betrayed.

    Did anyone see the Peter Jackson doc on BBC2 yesterday – “They shall remain young?” Brilliant tv, although sombre viewing!

      I am sure this type of corruption is rife within the Palace of Westminster, but it would appear that so far, these allegations against Lord Lester have not resulted in criminal charges.

        Of course one has to be careful with mere “allegations” however, it is particularly ironic for us “Nationalist’s – given his career and role in drafting race relations legislation that has helped persecute and jail people such as ourselves!

    I whole heartedly agree. I haven’t been to this disgraceful event for about ten years. And when I did, I was up to my eyebrows in local and national, political intrigue, back-stabbing, and all that goes with it.

    I honour my ancestors, that should go without saying, but I’m not standing in a crowd of degenerate, filthy, two-faced Councillors and “local celebs”, wearing poppies, that in all honesty, should be ripped in anger from their breasts, with all the righteousness in my heart.

    Imagine the anger? Viewing the utter hypocracy of these bastards, pretending to pray, smugly acting like they care, “proudly” wearing their poppies as they scan for cameras and media parasites, and then as soon as it is over, they go back to their “Anti-Brexit”, pro-immigration stance… ugly in mind and body.

    It was interesting that amongst Danny Boyle’s WW1 sand portraits was one of Second Lieutenant Walter Tull, a black officer in the British Army during WW1. Tull was also mentioned on BBC news as having led a file of British soldiers away from danger. Apparently, there have been calls to raise a monument in his memory! Tull was a footballer who played for Tottenham Hotspur amongst other clubs. I intend not diminish his bravery.

    However, I recall seeing a photograph of the Welsh national rugby team of 1912/13. Of those present in the photograph twelve were killed in the Great War. I am sure photographs of other sporting teams of that era would provide a similar tragic story. But, it appears, we must lionise only one sportsman from the WW1 generation.

    On another note, I watched Peter Jackson excellent WW1 documentary on the conflict. Rare TV indeed. Does anyone remember the great BBC series ‘The Great War’ first broadcast in the 60’s and repeated on occasions but not recently ( at least I can’t recall if it has). Of course, that documentary was produced when the BBC was the BBC.

      I agree LJP.
      There is already a monument to Walter Tull in Northampton, very close to the Northampton Town football stadium on what is now called ‘Walter Tull Way’. As you say, there is no need to denigrate a man who by all accounts fought bravely, during WW1, however as you say, it is his race that has resulted in him being commemorated with a memorial and the road named after him, and there were probably hundreds of thousands of other brave men who are not so conspicuously remembered simply because they were White.
      I too remember ‘The Great War’, and of course such programmes are no longer shown on television for fear that they will inculcate patriotism and nationalism in healthy young minds.
