This week’s Observations – we’re all addicts now!
By the time the week ends, we will finally find out if the polls were right, and if Labour has a huge majority and if the Conservatives are wiped out. 
I should also mention the Greens, the Scots Nats, the LibDems and Reform, but apart from Reform, which most of the media seems to be running a campaign against, I have no idea what they are doing and what they hope to achieve. The LibDems have been the most amusing. It’s been like watching circus clowns perform with every stunt Ed Davey has performed. The crowning point was his bungee jump, which I can only assume was a metaphor to encourage people to risk something they are fearful of – not very encouraging!
It’s been emotional, as somebody famous once said, and that is the point; everything has been on high octane emotionally ever since Nigel came back into the room. Up until then, everything about the election was sluggish and resigned. The only thing most people were sure of is that they wanted the current iteration of the Conservatives out and that Labour seemed to be the only way to do it.
The rationale was that it would give the Conservative Party five years to get rid of the wets and become conservative again; although no one was holding their breath, hence, the lassitude around the election.
Both Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak know that most people in this country don’t want either of them. They also know that this rejection goes deeper than just not liking the current leader, hence the rictus grins and phoney sincerity wherever they go.
Ed Davey was doing a great job trying to cheer people up with his happy party act and the Greens were busy loosing votes by telling everyone how relaxed and content we would be living in caves and working at “proper” green jobs, without actually saying what they were.
In fact, the whole country had settled down to the inevitable and then along came Nigel, bounding into the room late with a look on his face that said “Have I missed something, surely you haven’t made a decision already”?
All of a sudden Starmer and Sunak shrivelled up and went back into the shadows as Nigel took centre stage. However, the entrenched Uniparty was not giving up without a fight. As soon as it began to look as though Reform might push the Tories into third place, the psyops big guns came out. They even managed to get two Reform candidates to defect to the Conservatives; sobbing about hate and misogyny like a battered spouse seeking a refuge. In the last week in particular, it has been pushed through the media that Reform is racist, misogynistic and every other “istic” or “ism”you can think ofm and if you vote for them you are definitely not a good person and we don’t want you in lovely multiculti Britain; so there! Every interview has been either hostile or smarmy and looking for a “gotcha” moment. Nigel must have amazing reserves of stamina.
It remains to be seen if this has any traction with those parts of the public that were going to vote Reform. I like to think not. Dumping your preference for Reform because the media and other politicians are saying horrible things about them should not be the way to go. Especially since the other parties between them have many horrible things of their own to be picked over, that somehow never get an airing. The whole furore smacks of media bias and is not the basis for a sensible choice.
This point has been aired in other articles but the mainstream still refuses to pick up on it and insist that in digging stuff up on Reform, they are saving the public from a fate worse than death. How patronising is that? How fearful is that?
What the Blob doesn’t seem to understand is that the public does want to be saved, but not from ists and isms. They want to be saved from unfettered immigration, WEF government, Davros, rule by financial markets, net zero, the trans take over, critical race theory and all the other special groups and theories the main parties pander too.
That’s why everyone sat up when Nigel appeared. It’s not that he’s seen as the second coming, but he is seen as a man who understands that someone has to make a start on dismantling and reforming the complete mess that Britain has become since Tony Blair took office. In my opinion he is up to the job.
He speaks his mind. It often gets him into trouble but that doesn’t matter, as he is unlikely to become prime minister or hold any high office of state any time soon. His role is to rally the troops and show them that they can escape the toils of globalisation and regain pride in themselves and their country, without needing to be classed as “deblorable” by the country’s elites.
People have been waiting for someone to say this - and mean it - for a long time. Over twenty years of relentless persecution of ordinary Brits, their attitude, their colour, their culture and an empire that ended almost a hundred years ago, and which most ordinary people knew little about and certainly didn’t benefit from.
Tony Blair performed a similar role for New Labour, after the Tories went into meltdown when they removed Thatcher, but his intentions were obviously different from Nigel Farage’s. Blair’s project was to change things in Britain to fit in with his woke world vision, where people see themselves as ‘anywheres’ rather than ‘somewheres’. The shackles of nationhood holding him back would be well and truly broken in favour of globalisation. Farage’s project is the exact opposite, to return the country to the majority view via strengthening the parliamentary system and acting on behalf of the nation.
If it helps, try thinking of Britain as Ukraine and the global elites as Russia. It is no wonder that the millennials and the generation before them bought into all this. It was the only way to survive and gain peace and status in a climate of increasing witch hunting. Plus, by changing things through guilt-tripping people over what were once ordinary views, psyops got people to police themselves; all very clever. It is heartening to see that generation Z seems to have had enough of it as much as their grandparents, and are starting to object.
The attraction of being on the right, Woke, side of history seems to be fading at long last and people are starting to wake up and say what of earth was I thinking?
However, the woke mainstream has a lot invested in things staying the same and people should remember that when they go to vote. Nigel has many faults, and he is an ideas man rather than a state leader, but that doesn’t mean he is not trying to do the best he can for his country; or that his ideas are not worth listening too. I would advise that whomever you vote for on Thursday, that you look behind the glamour and the outrage and think about what you can realistically expect from your vote, ignoring both doom-saying and over optimistic blather about the future.
Then you too can say that you did the best for your country and be proud.
