There’s hope for the old country yet!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Published 8 May 2025 [VE Day] – Well Done Reform A Great Week in British Politics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to Nigel Farage and Reform for their spectacular success in the local elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reform, led by charismatic leader Nigel Farage, has stunned the British establishment yet again. In last week\u2019s local elections, Britain\u2019s fastest growing political party, Reform, took an impressive 677 seats across all contested councils, won two mayoralties and gained another MP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mainstream media could not have got it more wrong when they dubbed Reform the \u2018Upstart Party\u2019. ‘The Up-and-Coming Upending Party\u2019, or the ‘Most In-touch with the People Party’, that would have been more like it, with Reform having positioned itself as the leading voice in British politics and a real contender for Number 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tapping into years of deep-seated frustration over the relentless loss of its nation to pro-migrant tub-thumping liberals, Reform is making significant gains on all political fronts as liberalism\u2019s flawed and dismal dictates crumble and disintegrate from one side of the Atlantic to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well Done Reform A Great Week in British Politics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The big losers on election day were unanimously the Conservatives. It was they, unsurprisingly, that took the hardest hit. After 14 dreadful, shambolic years in office, which opened the door to Labour, the only wonder is that anyone bothered to vote for them at all, and one suspects that those who did were the vote-by-rote fraternity, those who have developed over time a nasty stuck-in-the-rut compulsive kind of voting habit, which they know they ought to quit but, as with any other entrenched addiction, is easier said than done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cons deserve no sympathy; they have reaped what they have sown. Their 14 years of faulty governance were some of the most embarrassing, some of the most chaotic in British political history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Split down the middle by pseudo-liberal influencers, the Cons were far too busy fighting amongst themselves to deliver on their promises, paving the way for the pro-migrant left to exploit this lack of leadership and fill the moral void with its woke-obsessed agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It certainly did not help the Cons when instead of returning to grassroot principles they sold out to the woke vote by installing Mrs Badenoch (bless her old cotton socks), who, should she eventually lead the party to victory, would wear the gilded crown of being the first woman of colour to hold the office of British prime minister. How’s that for ticking Labour’s box first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You would think that the Cons would have learnt their lesson from the fall and fall of Rishi Sunak, but no. The quickly invented Badenoch was a Dr Who regenerative moment for the likes of the party\u2019s liberal faction, but for the dyed-in-the-wool blue rinse brigade, it was yet another broken string on the old Conservative fiddle; another act of betrayal in a long series of similar acts, gambling on the premise that in order to survive, the Cons need to emulate Labour and ultimately beat them at their own game. Whata mistaka to makea \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bye<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for Labour, what you can say? Labour has been Starmered, well and truly Starmered. If Tony Blair has gone down in history as a nail in the UK\u2019s coffin, Starmer could be remembered \u2014 if remembered he is at all \u2014 as the Labour party\u2019s undertaker and grave digger in chief: the man who laid the party out and then went on to bury it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well Done Reform A Great Week in British Politics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Returning to the voters of habit who have yet to understand the existential crossroads that Britain has been driven to, the collapse of the vote for both Cons and Labour translated in some areas, predictably ivory tower areas and those which for the moment are the least effected by immigration, into gains for Jeremy Thorpe\u2019s old crew, the faded jaded Liberal Democrats<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For disaffected voters frightened to think outside the box, it was time to fall back on the old switcheroonee. If they could not vote for Liebour or Cons, and conscience said they couldn’t, then they would have to vote LibDem! What a terrible farce. What a tragic mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Liberal Democrats as the name suggest are little more than orange squash Labour \u2014 full of sugar and diluted down \u2014 which, in terms of immigration and the woke that provides its life support, offers more of the same but worse. But look here let\u2019s be frank, Cyril, some of the LibDem politicians and even some of its supporters come across as nice mean-wells  \u2014 enlightened Tims-Nice-But-Dims. True, many are wishy washy and still others namby pamby, but whatever they are individually taken as a party, they are still the problem not the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"LibDems<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What a naga to backa <\/strong>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think about it, and it isn’t really rocket science, to steal a march on Reform all that Labour and the Cons need do is to stop the boats from romping in, take control of Britain\u2019s borders and, as in Russia, where Russians come first, restore faith in blighted Britons that the government is their<\/em> government, that the country is their<\/em> country and that it is their <\/em>culture and they<\/em> who come first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that the old political parties will not control immigration and will not withdraw from the ECHR, the thorn in the side of sovereignty, not even to save themselves, is an out-and-out admission that they have not the slightest intention of observing and upholding the primary responsibility of that of any government, which is to ensure the safety and security of the citizens of the country who voted them into office on this mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, under the rule of the two old fogeys, the long-since past their sell by dates Labour and Conservatives, what has Britain got to look forward to? Both of the two old past-it parties will keep on letting the migrants in and letting them in their thousands. They will blather on about net-zero policies whilst concreting over the countryside. They will turn the other cheek on escalating utility bills and, with nothing else up their sleeves, inflate the cost of houses. There will be more boats, more migrants, a more divided society, more deaths and broken lives, more candle-lit vigils, more and more and more and more stultifying woke and with each year that passes less of the Britain we knew and loved. Is this what you want for your children\u2019s future? That\u2019s what you\u2019ve got and that\u2019s what you\u2019ll get if you vote for the same old cronies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take your country back, now, whilst you have the chance, for it may well be your last chance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vote for the future of Britain. Vote Reform<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnly Reform will stand up for British culture, identity and values. We will freeze immigration and stop the boats. Restore law and order. Repair our broken public services. Cut taxes to make work pay. End government waste. Slash energy bills. Unlock real economic growth.<\/strong>

\u201cOnly Reform will take back control over our borders, our money and our laws. Only Reform will secure Britain\u2019s future as a free, proud and rich nation.\u201d \u2014 <\/strong>https:\/\/www.reformparty.uk\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
