This is the template Farage must adopt when Reform wins in 29.
I’m not aware any Conservative government in the last 14 years revoked anything Blair and Brown enacted, nor grabbed back any powers they relinquished to the deep-state blob.
Revolution needed.
I think a government could do a lot of good over several terms ONLY repealing previous crap. How on earth did we survive without all this legislation??? A bit like the WHO and SAGE etc being in the “pandemic” business, governments are in the “producing legislation” business.
This is what kills me, that most people don’t realise that beneath a very thin veneer of public interest almost everything governments do is a grifting scheme for some interest group or other.
The most important interest group (for them) being themselves. Really it could not be any other way – surely politics will always attract grifters or people with God complexes. We just need to realise that, accept it, and act accordingly – limit their power and make sure the role of political leaders and the state does not exceed that which is necessary for “ordered liberty”.
It seems so obvious now, but to be fair Peter Hitchens has been warning about this for years, that the Tories do exactly the same as Labour, the difference being that Labour believe in it and do it very deliberately with the aim of transforming society and the Conservatives do it just to get themselves into power and are too cynical and intellectually barren to realise what they are doing.
It might have been different had we had a conservative government this century but alas we haven’t. Braverman has been interviewed today out in DC and you have to despair that she still believes the Tories can be saved from their socialists.
If he does just a fraction of his “Day One” tasks on the first day, he’ll have achieved more than the Treacherous Tories did in 14 years.
If only a fraction of these actions come to pass, bonfire of the inanities nevertheless upcoming.
Burn baby, burn.
Well, we’ve been in the waiting room for a while, so we will learn what the “new” administration has done since the election last year. After all, they must have done some work on the transition between the current and new Presidents, both at Federal and State levels.
Why does the Mail believe it is for government to build electric charging stations rather than the free market?
We’ve been conditioned for generations to the idea that the state needs to solve all of our problems, and that it could if only it were given enough money.
Unlike Farage, Trump doesn’t do “politically impossible”.
Unlike Farage, Trump doesn’t waste time trying to prove to the left he’s not a racist.
Unlike Farage, Trump doesn’t dump on his natural supporters: “Tommy Robinson and that lot”.
Unlike Farage, Trump puts talent before mediocrity: “No Andrew Bridgen or Ben Habib in Reform, instead Charlie Mullins and Simon Danczuk”
You could also add that Donald is secure enough in his own skin to employ talented and capable people around his as advisors whereas Farage chases them away. Out of the two of them, only one has destroyed two parties in the last decade and I fear he might destroy a third.
Yet Another Pakistani Habib has no “talent”, just a lot of money and sound-bytes he wants to use to take over the Reform Leadership and weasel himself into No. 10.
He is in no way comparable to the English Patriot Andrew Bridgen.
I think I might start calling him King Donald.
He moves around between his palaces (Mar a Lago, his Vriginia Golf Club), clearly a man of independent means.
These “executive orders” are like royal decrees.
He firms up his position with alliances with powerful baron’s who swear allegiance to him, like Musk, more recently Zuckerberg, RFK Jr, Rogan.
I’m sure it’s always pretty much been this way, but the nice thing about Trump is that he doesn’t waste too much time pretending.
He definitely projects the temperament of a ruling monarch.
Or an AntiChrist, who’s already talking about sending more White Men to Die in Foreign Wars, so that he can seize new territories in Canada, Greenland, Mexico…?
And giving plenty of forewarning to the illegals in Chicago that he’ll be sending in the Feds to raid them, so they can run off until the coast is clear, then sneak back…
Sometimes you have to attempt to maximise chaos because order has become so corrupted and rotten and predatory that it needs to be shaken off by any means necessary. I think that this is the tacit understanding. Perhaps the best strategy for managing the collapse of unipolarity.
No leader of a fattened decadent western country is going to be able to manage simple issues like shortages of staple foods that are in the pipoeline and will hit in a few months. The same goes for many commodities. In those circumstances he is probably a good choice but the reality for Europe won’t be so pleasant because for one thing the Brits and a few other have-a-go heroes have decided to take on Russia without the help of the United States. Yes they really would do something that stupid.
Looking at the pictures of the Inauguration today, I couldn’t help but notice that Melania Trump’s outfit and hat made her look like a gangster. Someone said she looked like she was “packing” a gun. Or attending a funeral.
When I first saw her hat, I thought it was like Jim Carrey’s in “The Mask”.
An interstellar alien looking down upon the Earth might ask,
“Why do all those human females attach long thin sticks to their feet?”
I’m very happy for the American people. If only we had such a comprehensive programme of change over here. I guess we have to wait and see if Reform can form a government in 4 years, and whether they have the vision and balls for a radical plan of action.
In the mean time, the pressure from America’s change of direction, will bear down hard on Starmer et al, and may well force them to moderate their psychopathic policies.
It seems the Mail has forgotten what an actual government as opposed to a bunch of spinners and drifters can actually accomplish.
The Telegraph today is reporting:
“Earlier on Monday, the US President issued pardons for 1,600 Jan 6 rioters, including those convicted of violent crimes, and commuted the sentences of 14 others who stormed the Capitol four years ago.
He also signed a flurry of executive orders to withdraw the US from the Paris climate agreement and World Health Organisation, delay the ban of TikTok, stop federal employees working from home, and end government “censorship”.”
President Trump is already delivering on his campaign promises, yes, on “day one”. What a refreshing change from our own Lab-Con lightweights, who spend their time wringing their hands and telling us it’s all ready hard.
