... whereas I tend to go for the westwide topics in the X news, from a strongly antiWoke, antiUniparty, antiDeepState, anti WEF, antiTavistock, antiEU, antiVaxx, anti ClimateBollox, antiFabian stance. With both of us, we want our civic life back, our heritage ... on X, I'm constantly retweeting Old Britain, Old England, even Old France, US, Canada, even down to old architecture versus the new brutalism.
Julia has strong views on arrogant cyclists and dangerous dogs ... I agree.
As far as the party political goes, within Britain for example, I'm thnking both Julia and I are antiUniparty, esp. on illegals and women's safety. Think it's safe enough saying that.
Trouble is that there's a confused dissident scene just now. It was all pretty clear for awhile, up to Clacton ... the dissident side were fairly "at one" ... but then something happened ... one of the Reform MPs had the police called on him, a rough speaking farmer ... by M25 bubble, City types, plus by one of the "invaders" who seemed to have become their mate.
It was such an unfair, antiBrit, antiLibertarian act that it shocked most of voting age. I myself am still not a member of Restore, am watching carefully, I'm just against govt running my life. I'm also watching Reform closely, knowing they're being groomed for govt. We've posted stats on how many times NF appears in the MSM, esp. GBN, which pretends it's dissident, yet has banned Restore.
I keep repeating ... I'm in no party right now, I'm a voter who is watching carefully. And one thing many of us saw yesterday was this:
There is a rush to put these non-Brits into candidature by NF and his committee. Why? What has he been tipped off about, which might be not far off, GE wise, soon?
Restore? They're in no position for an early election ... still a few years away. Meanwhile, this above might well be about to become govt, under NF, whose behaviour has been mentioned.
Now, one of two things is going to happen. Either NF gets in as PM and then betrays all the invader candidates, let alone supporters and voters in general ... or pretends to, thus incorporating Restorites ... or else there never really was any intention to break from the WEF/EU agenda after all.
In which case ... meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Meanwhile, the left sees these as the new, dissident saviours:
The Spouse and I are still puzzling over a phone call he had a couple of weeks ago - completely out of the blue - asking him to stand as a candidate for Reform in the local elections.
ReplyDeletePart of the earnest pitch was that ‘we need a wide range of people like you from different backgrounds and cultures’; given that he is a straight white male sixty-something living in the Home Counties, this was so funny that we both burst out laughing (which was unfortunate as the call was on speaker in the car), but even that didn’t put them off calling a week later to try again.
Since he has never had any official political affiliations or belonged to a party, we have no idea why they picked him; they couldn’t or wouldn’t say where they got his mobile number (which he doesn’t give out much - he hates the phone). All in all, it rather smacks of desperation; if they are recruiting potential candidates like this, I can’t say I have much confidence in what will ensue.
Most interesting indeed, Macheath ... An X just went up that Nige filled 95% of candidatures ... with all that DEI filling. I'd forgotten coubcils in May to be honest, was thinking GE.
DeleteTomorrow, by the way, am running the pensions furore here between youngsters, with Miriam Cates, versus pensioners speaking out. Essentially about eight long quotes from various people.
