Powerful evidence that should prevent any merger of Reform UK with the ‘Conservative’ Party.

Though the greatest puzzle is why so many people still vote Tory.

Indeed. The Tories must never be trusted with power again.

Good enough for my father and his father before him.

Seriously, I was brought up to think that The Conservatives were the right party to vote for – and indeed did so for many years. Cameron/Clegg put a dent in that for me and then Cameron with his reluctant Brexit referendum. It slowly dawned on me that recent PMs are barely tolerated by their party for a while and that the idea of a united Party backing certain policies (even if they’re in the Manifesto) is a pipe-dream – and to Hell with what the electorate want.

I know most here will realise but I think it worth repeating that the 2016 Brexit referendum was only the third time a UK-wide referendum had been held. The first was about staying in the EEC, the second about the voting system to elect ‘our’ MPs and the third about staying in the EU. Note there was never a referendum about joining the EEC or EU.

The pro-EEC campaign led by the government spouted a mass of lies that led one minister to hope that the people never found out or they would be toast. Moving forward to the 2016 the Call Me Dave government which should have stayed out of campaigning spaffed £9m of taxpayers money on a propaganda booklet full of lies sent to every household. The establishment went full on Remain and I think that won the vote for Leave, given their campaign was woeful, as people wanted to give them two fingers.

Puzzle too is why the article title wasn’t headed ‘Tories use tax payer money to promote pro immigration charities’

Our money being spent on the Establishment’s project of The Great Replacement. This must be the first time in history that a people has had to pay for the invaders who are being imported specifically to replace them.

Labour is Marxist
Tory was Labour
Reform is Tory
Far Right a figment.

Hoolie blowing through open Left Overton Window for decades. Lord Cameroon threw away Right Window key, Mrs Maybee boarded Right Window up, Mrs & Mrs De Pfeffel climbed in through Left window and commissioned ruinously-expensive designer-makeover of soft furnishings.

Meanwhile, Tommy’s window has bars.

Meanwhile, back in the real world ( and well away from the ‘NIMBY’ peeps ), what happens if these migrants abscond from their digs? Are they actively monitored in any way? I guess they need a fixed address in order to get their handouts but they’re also ripe for getting involved in gang life and other criminality, which I presume pays more than the state;

”The quality of life is rapidly degrading in the country, attributed often to mass immigration. A follower tells where absconding migrants end up & what they get up to.

“Hi David I was speaking to two men a few weeks ago that work for a major car park company in the north who came to collect materials from my work I give away for free to local garage’s etc. for soaking oil spills.

“They came to collect some for wait for this, Mopping up urine, faeces & vomit from 5 car parks in the north that are overrun with migrants who sleep in the car parks at night & defecate in stairwells lifts etc every night.

“They told me around 15 are in each carpark on a nightly basis and they are ones that have run away from hotels, He said they beg on the streets during the daytime and shoplift etc.

” They told me the police aren’t interested and border force have been told but nothing has happened 2 years into it starting. The police told them it’s a civil matter because it’s on private property.”

“Keep up the good work”

All intentional for the great revolution? The following must be recognisable in today’s Britain, or any Western nation.

“The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.”
Lenin

“The best way to destroy the capitalist system [is] to debauch the currency.”
Lenin

“There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.”
Lenin

“It is acceptable to suffocate democracy for the sake of socioeconomic equality”
Lenin

“A lie told often enough becomes the truth”
Lenin

“To speak the truth is a petit-bourgeois habit, a luxury of worry-free and aimless people. To lie, on the contrary, is often justified by the lie’s aim”
Lenin
