There needs to be an overhaul & reorganisation of the Alt Right in the UK.. Yesterdays antics at The Cenotaph proved this.     (UnitedKingdom)

After seeing the footage from yesterday of the EDL at the Cenotaph in London, there needs to be an overhaul of the Alt Right in the UK. Tommy Robinson has had years to organise & consolidate the Alt Right in the UK and he has failed.

The optics from yesterday highlighted the following;

There is no organisational structure.

There is no discipline

There is no clear objective

The demographic turning up to these events are not something to aspire to



What done it for me was that we had dishevelled 40 something men in dirty white trainers & baseball caps, clearly drunk, (didnt have a clue what they were doing), picking fights with the police. they should have been there to back up the police. NOT ATTACK THEM. They were supposed to protect the area & compliment the police presence.

the optics around this is terrible. It showed that the Alt Right in the UK is still under the influence of 1980's style tactics that are no longer useful to a 21st century environment. those drunk cretins are not something we should be supporting or aspiring to be like. They are a liability in an internet age.

The Alt Right in the UK needs new intelligent leadership to get away from the laziness & fecklessness of Tommy Robinson. Robinson has had his chance and failed to make anything of it. Now is the time for new fresh blood to come in and give fresh insight & leadership for the Alt Right in the UK.

Should be noted recruitment figures are way down for the military in the UK.

1: No one wants to join a war machine involved in war crimes (Iraq War. Libya, Afghanistan collapse of Yugoslavia / NATO etc))

2: No one is joining an army that involves taking an oath to King Charles III (who killed his wife & brother is the paedo Prince Andrew)

3: No one is fighting wars for the British deep state dead-baby-semen-eaters anymore.

Peter Wilby formerly edited both the Independent on Sunday and New Statesman has been sentenced for making indecent images of children. Wilby had written many articles saying that allegations of paedophilia were often witch hunts perpetrated against innocent people.

How does the European Convention on Human Rights stop us deporting illegal immigrants?     (www.youtube.com)

Only 4'4" so don't be put off by Simon Webb being a leftist. He crisply makes the point that the European Convention on Human Rights is OK, it is just the judicial interpretation that is at fault.

I draw a different lesson from the facts presented. Laws written as vague principles hand over power to judges. Come back thirty years later and the judiciary is staffed by different people. Previously pedants, happy to follow strict rules. Now, power hungry activists, eager to use the power unwisely delegated to the courts. The European Convention on Human Rights has been a disaster because it has changed the job of a judge, and changed who wants to do it.

"The female cop in question had the young girl arrested for saying she looked like her lesbian nanna. That cross-armed look this bitch gives at the end The young girl in question also has scoliosis so the arrest and rough treatment she received put her in intense pain. Sickening really."

Jacob Rees-Mogg wants to reduce planning controls to boost house building     (www.youtube.com)

This is the same line as the Adam Smith Institute, but more temperately phrased. https://www.adamsmith.org/blog/pv9d6nitcm4im8nmlkg2ex5tajiy79 says:

The reason we’ve got one is because the law - the Town and Country Planning Act 1947 and successors - makes it illegal to build houses Britons would like to live in where Britons would like to live. The solution is to blow up that Act, proper blow up, kablooie.

The high house prices in the Untied Kingdom are blessing to those with two or more houses, who can benefit from selling their spare one. The high prices are neutral for those with one house; lots of money comes in when you sell, but you still need somewhere to live, so it all goes out again when you buy. The high prices are a curse for those who don't yet have a house, whether they rent, or live with their parents.

Basically, high house prices are a transfer to the old from the young. What I find frustrating is that I post on social media trying to explain to young people that they are being shafted,but they are socialist minded and love their regulations and won't hear of reducing planning controls.

Net Migration Into Britain Could Top 1 Million This Year, Doubling Prior Record     (www.zerohedge.com)
submitted by carnold03 to UnitedKingdom 2 years ago (+11/-0)

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/net-migration-britain-could-top-1-million-year-doubling-prior-record

Home Office officials fear soon-to-be released immigration statistics will show net migration into the U.K. topping 1 million, despite numerous pledges by Britain’s governing Conservative party over the past decade to significantly reduce the numbers.

Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures due to be published on May 25 are expected to show a huge increase in new arrivals, far above the previous peak of 504,000 recorded in the year to June 2022.

Home Office data already show that more than 1.3 million people arrived in Britain last year, many of whom received work permits or student visas, meaning the net migration figure will be determined by the number of people emigrating from the country.

Experts at the Center for Policy Studies (CPS) have forecast the net figure to be between 700,000 and 997,000, while a second analysis estimates a more conservative figure of between 650,000 and 675,000.
