“Immer öfter werden in letzter Zeit Strafanzeigen gegen Leute gestellt, die irgendetwas auf den Sozialen Medien posten, was politisch nicht opportun ist. Dinge, die noch vor wenigen Jahren nicht mehr als ein Lächeln oder ein Achselzucken hervorgerufen hätten. Auch die ein oder anderen Verurteilungen gibt es schon. Und wisst ihr was? Es wirkt. Inzwischen denke ich bei fast jedem meiner Posts nach, ob ich das so schreiben kann. Ich zensiere mich quasi selbst. Geil oder? So weit sind wir gekommen im besten Deutschland aller Zeiten. Deswegen: lange mach“ ich das hier nicht mehr.”
I replied:
Bedenken Sie jedoch, Vince, dass, um all dies zu überwinden, zunächst genügend Menschen vorhanden sein müssen, um etwas zu ändern. Außerdem kennen sie uns bereits.
Put that together with the Dog Whistle dead giveaway of Ms Lucy and there you have the entire political class in one. And to think they were respected, that MPs like Profumo would actually resign.
And here’s one former MP who hates a bigoted woman and loves raiding pension funds and selling off gold:

2. The British political divide
The last GE put the Labour vote, as a percentage of those eligible to vote, between 16.9 and around 25%. If we settled on 22%, it would not be far wrong, leaving 78% not feeling represented by Labour. After other Uniparty groups come out of that, it’s a guess how many voters feel Unrepresented … my guess is around the Brexit number of 52% but some put it closer to 60% of all eligible. I go with the 52%.
There’s a remarkable alignment on many, but not all issues, including rape gangs, the state of the streets, public safety and so on … sufficient to attract adherence to Reform “for now”. They were doing well, when suddenly Yusuf, Farage and Tice launched an all out attack on Ben Habib, then Rupert Lowe … a real own goal if ever there was.
I’d seen a figure of 40% of Reform supporters disgruntled over the appalling treatment of various supporters, even winning candidates but I’d lost the reference in the mass of postings yesterday, so that when some character called Rick Tusgrin took great exception to my comments:
“You made a false claim using spurious figures and supposition, and have been unable to back it up. Your point is thus far without merit. I’m giving you an opportunity to explain and expand.”
… that raised a few issues. One was “Infighting by gainsaying on a social media platform is counterproductive. He made his point, we made ours. End of.”. He was obviously hardwired, with no figures of his own (classic leftist strategy) bt all the same, it was worthwhile finding those posts again:
Something needs to be remembered here … whilst the egregious and highhanded Reform HQ puts out its own controlled figures which are meant to be taken at face value, with Farage unchallenged on them, blind faith in the Beloved Leader in other words, Teflon Nige, the two party split above, in turn, is not solely Reform voters … it includes all those appalled by the tyrannical triumvirate Yusuf-Farage-Tice, who can be from various political stances.
So what percentage of formerly pro-Reform-honcho people now feel unrepresented by any party leaders whatever as of today? It can only be guessed but I’d say 10 to 30% of previously full steam ahead Reform type people … the disgruntled, anti Uniparty in other words, angry about what’s happening to Britain. Calling it 15% for the sake of argument, that’s still quite a drop, before taking into account those disgruntled but still voting Reform “for now” as the only option in their eyes.
Why such a set against Farage and HQ? Well that’s easy … the unprincipled actions and attitude of Farage HQ against “their own”, including new Councillor Donna Rachel of Shropshire.
But what on earth is the issue here? Why such violent reaction in the first place from the tyrannical triumvirate? There are two … failure of Britain to address the grooming, plus the very question of illegals brought in and shacked up in four star accommodation, all expenses paid.
This is why I don’t completely run with a quite logical take on the whole thing by one of the main authors at our site, Unherdable Cats, our man Steve:
“Reform UK is a centre-right party, the Tories centre-left. The Labour Party are hard-left as are the Greens. I couldn’t care less about the Liberal Democrats – they long-ago abandoned their role as the party of the centre and wandered off to the Left. As it stands there is no party for the millions who want their homeland out of the hands of ideologues. Discuss.”
Well put … my point of departure though is that today, the difference between right and left, that central dividing line, is the twofold one of chasing down the grooming, plus chasing down the illegal mandarins, feted by the govt with taxpayer money. This has been the clear dividing line between Rupert and then the tyrannical Uniparty triumvirate of Farage-Yusuf-Tice-HQ.
Yes, Farage made pre-May 1st noises of now being interested in the two issues, just as have Labour and Tories. So there it is in a nutshell … wonderful Reform workers, helpers, supporters and candidates at grassroots level … a treacherous, tyrannical triumvirate at the top.
1. Cinco de Mayo
It stems from a Mexican war where they beat the French. The issue had earlier been the Spanish but Mexico had secured independence some years before this battle. Wiki:
“[CdeM] is an annual celebration held on May 5 to celebrate Mexico’s victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza. Zaragoza died months after the battle from an illness, however, and a larger French force ultimately defeated the Mexican army at the Second Battle of Puebla and then occupied Mexico City.
Following the end of the American Civil War in 1865, the United States began lending money and guns to the Mexican Liberals, pushing France and Mexican Conservatives to the edge of defeat. At the opening of the French chambers in January 1866, Napoleon III announced that he would withdraw French troops from Mexico.
In reply to a French request for American neutrality, the American secretary of state William H. Seward replied that French withdrawal from Mexico should be unconditional. More popular in the United States than in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo has become associated with the celebration of Mexican-American culture.”

This is already up on X, I’ll now run it at OoL, Unherdables and Jstack.
Full text of Donna’s letter but not the receipts which she did show on X:
There have been continued suggestions by pro Reform political area pundits, always this vague suspicion, that Nigel Farage and mate Richard Tice are in fact in thrall to the Uniparty, to ensure that whichever party he heads will always come in a valiant second, after putting the frighteners on the “Establishment”.
Just look at us calling this out … vilified by sections of Reform, urged on by those three, because we took exception at how they dump people they don’t like, making actionable accusations such as senility etc.
Our own friends and colleagues are not happy we did not “get behind Nige”, whilst we did get behind the rank and file. Why do these three want a budding party split two ways before we’ve even started? Think about it.
“Having watched a few hours of MEMRI content over the years, I should not have been surprised when Muslim neighbours – the Mohammeds and Ahmeds who routinely deliver me and my goods or serve me in their shops in West London – took to the streets to celebrate the October 7 pogrom in Israel. Half a mile from where I live, they danced for joy and called for the destruction of Israel. This, before the Jewish state had responded in any way – making a nonsense of the line taken by most Palestinian apologists that they don’t support Hamas’s actions (to the extent they don’t actually deny them) but are merely protesting the alleged ferocity of Israel’s response.”
All right, I like his voice, accent, manner … at the start … but but but … the bleedin’ intrusive music started, blighting the presentation … plus it’s so TV/journo bollox … why not just give the facts, rather than make a meal of it? Just as with podcasts and vlodcasts. Maybe it’s the times we’re in, maybe it’s just me at fault.
