I have no desire to simply lie down and accept it, however I do believe that England, and Britain more widely is finished. There is no going back now. The new Labour government will use the next 5 years to stack the demographics against the native population even further than they already have been - 3-5 million new arrivals will make it impossible for a nativist force to gain a foothold in key constituencies. Add this to the fact that Britain does not currently have a credible mainstream opposition to mass immigration, nor any party advocating mass deportation. Nigel Farage and his Reform Party are, to put it bluntly, cowards who will not do what is necessary to bring us back from the brink. The country is done, gone, dead as the dodo, at least as a place recognizably 'English' or 'British'. Our country is an economic waystation, where global nomads come either to work, or claim benefits. That's all it is likely to ever be in our lifetimes. It'll never be the place it was or could've been with more sensible policies.
One problem we have is that we have a FPTP Electoral System. Reform actually did well to get 5 seats. Farage has said he wants to work within the Electoral System. The other problem is that the Conservative Party is not Conservative and the LibDems are anything but. Already, the Govt is trying to prevent Local Elections taking place and calling Reform dangerous. However, unlike Republicans in US, Reform are not the main Opposition Party. Reform has to attract all conservative-minded people in order to stand any chance of winning in 2029, so they have no choice other than to tread carefully. There is only one other alternative! Do you have any suggestions?
Yes, they could do exactly that without adopting a flaccid "moderate" message which will alienate (or at the least, fail to inspire) their core base. Instead of avoiding discussion of mass deportation, and tiptoeing around Islam - both of which Farage has recently and repeatedly done - they should be more muscular and unapologetic on these and other related topics.
I’m in a similar position to you. I don’t want it to be the case but do wonder if we are finished. I don’t advocate a black pill of despair, but an honesty on how bad it is and how urgently we need to fight. It may be too late and we lack a Trump. Like you I’ve seen that Farage is weak on several aspects of what has happened. But Reform are the most likely third party to get anywhere. So yes, we need Reform to be bolder and stronger.
I do agree in some ways, but if many vote UKIP, that would split the vote, which is already split. It's not easy to take on this 2-Party stranglehold. I've pondered this, but have no answer.
I was called a Nationalist and Nazi and anti-Semite on FB by someone I actually knew for merely saying that I loved my country. I was in complete shock. Loving one's country is now associated with Nationalism and Nazism and anti-Semitism. Unbelievable. Yet, the same person had been attacking Israel, whilst I was defending it. It does indeed appear to be a battle between 'Globalism' and the very existence of the Nation State.
The Left/Globalist mainstream are so cynical in their use of Jews-they attack them and hate them but also try to use them as human shields by saying that attacks on leftism and progressivism are attacks on Jews. Nobody opposes antisemetic stuff more than me, I’ve been called a ‘Jewboy’ by genuine Nazis and I’m proud of that, but I do also see how cynically the Left operate on this.
My advice is we must fight for our country. I fought all my life against hatred prejudice. This country has become an Islamic cesspit. I believe in freedom of religion and freedom of speech. But I do not believe this country allow to change its Judeo Christian heritage. The wicked clown Starmer must be ousted. It can only be done if we British decide to riot peacefully in huge numbers and on a regular basis like those weekly hate crimes marching on our streets.
You are absolutely right Ivor. What I’d like to see is an end to all asylum, a ban on any welfare before 10 years of paying taxes, immediate deportation of all foreign criminals, a ban on all pro Muslim teaching in schools, a ban on new mosques, and a reduction of immigration to less than 10,000 per year, an aggressive policy of arresting anyone helping illegal entrants to the country and returning dinghy arrivals to France, and leaving all international accords and agreements that prevent these actions. Then shake up the curriculum to centre pride and loyalty to this nation and its culture, sacking any teachers who oppose that. These measures would save Britain. Sadly I don’t think any party has the balls for them.
Very last ditch would be Reform winning the next GE and embarking on a Trumpian programme of deportations plus a programme of integration, banning the anti-white racism that is DEI, stopping student visas for below doctoral level, putting a Katherine Birbalsingh agenda into schools to instil pride in Britain and our achievements, slashing welfare, shrinking the administrative state like the Musk-Ramaswamy agenda, slashing taxes, abolishing IHT, supporting British industry and farming by imposing tariffs on cheap slave labour produced imports, building small nuclear reactors everywhere and felling the bird mincers and last but not least requiring Islam to get into the 21st century and adhere to our equality and animal welfare laws whilst promoting Christianity and insisting that it is the state religion and whilst other religions are tolerated, they are not equal in what is a Christian country.
Brilliant as usual, Daniel. And an excellent historical summary as well of what "Englishness", that remarkable foundation for modernity at its best, really is. Thank you.
I agree and I don't agree. I really don't think the fools in charge (of whatever political persuasion) actually hate us. They don't really even see us - they only see each other and the "movers and shakers" on the world stage. The public everywhere have been demoted to mere dots - we are all like the people Harry Lime spoke about from a ferris wheel. But that's not hate, that's a weird stupidity. Many, if not most, of those movers and shakers are scared of the public but they also believe the public is stupid and easily controlled. "Bread and circuses" works most of the time but it's beginning to fail. I do wonder why these WEF globalist numpties want to replace tax-paying white people with benefit-claiming black people - exactly how does that benefit them? How about the politicians actually have no idea how to stop immigrants, how to stop them without causing all their lefty Guardian-reading bougie dinner party friends from complaining how wicked it is to stop these poor boys from reaching safety? As for the Net Zero Climate Catastrophe End of the World crap - that's simply money talking to poorly educated fools who want to be in the right club. I don't know how it gets stopped because that's the thing that will destroy us - the immigrants could be expelled if we found a decent political cohort but the climate crap is long-term. As for the English - a people who no longer believe they are worthy of anything have to reach rock-bottom and watch their children suffer before they wake up. And I agree that that might be too late.

Brilliant essay, thank you. I desperately hope this lot don’t survive the full term, it’s our only chance.
Thanks, and yes we have to get rid of them sooner.
My pleasure. Yes, we really do.
So absolutely, heartbreakingly correct. God help us. We are done for.
I hope there is still time, but it’s running out. We need this government either to fall or to be blocked in most of what it wants to do.
