The Red Wall is still nominally English. It’s the south, and especially London, that has become a foreign country.
Not the enclaves where the political class live. In those places all ir sweet and calm.
Well I have no opinion on this topic so an off-territory dump it is then…
Remember the disgustingly inhumane treatment of those deemed ”high risk” and more vulnerable in society during the scamdemic? Commonly referred to as ”shielding”, these poor folks were basically isolated and denied their basic needs of the contact and comfort of loved ones for the good of their health for extended periods of time. Well I don’t think we need a study to tell us it was all a load of cruel and unnecessary bollocks but we handily have one anyway. And will ”lessons be learnt” I wonder?? 🙁
”There is no evidence that shielding benefitted vulnerable people during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a university study. The study by Swansea University compared 117,000 people shielding in Wales with the population of three million.
It found that deaths and healthcare usage were higher among those who were shielding than the general population. The Welsh Government said that shielding was introduced on medical and scientific advice and that it will continue to review evidence from the pandemic.
The rate of coronavirus was also found to be higher among those shielding, at 5.9% compared to 5.7%, according to the study. Researchers have said that the data raises questions about whether the shielding policy worked.”

What coronavirus pandemic??? who still believes this tripe???
To follow the official pattern – “Just think how much higher the rates would have been among the vulnerable if they hadn’t shielded.”

This is for you Mogs. Also in NR.
Cheers hux. I read it just now. Yes you cannot move for data demonstrating the outright danger these jabs pose for pregnant women and foetuses/babies, and the damage tragically already done. Here’s Igor’s latest on the same theme;
”We were told that the vaccine “stays in the arm.” Was that true?
On Page 3, Pfizer describes two cases (out of 458) of unborn babies affected by transplacental transfer of mRNA Covid vaccine.So, instead of staying in the arm, by Pfizer’s admission, the vaccine traveled through the mother’s body, penetrated the placenta, and adversely impacted the unborn fetuses.
One infant in the above report died of “severe respiratory distress.” (AER 2021191405)
We also know that the Moderna vaccine (higher dose) increases the chances of pregnancy loss by 42% compared to Pfizer, suggesting a dose-response relationship.”

Thanks Mogs. Everywhere we look it is a tale of death and destruction with these poisonous injections and clearly poor infants are being murdered also.
No question some of these children will have impaired health growing up, obviously they are the long term study group. That is if they survive the coming cull.
Absolute evil wherever we look.
BBC? Swansea University? Walesonline?
You’ll be quoting the Grauniad next.
“We are also informed that Northerners do not want free-market economics, and this is because of an industrial heritage unique to themselves. “
Er, what was the Industrial Revolution if not an new expression of free market capitalism, and where was it focussed? Where were those mills, mines, factories, self-made ‘where’s there’s muck there’s brass’ men?
This is what happens when our history is no longer taught.
Exactly.
Red wall.. blue wall.. left and right.. black.. white.. straight – gay.. bla-blah.. who gives a toss, I certainly don’t. Its just the same old elitist trick, used for centuries.. stir it up then divide and rule. Create as many divisions as possible, and throw in some diversity for good measure. Works every time.. the masses always take the bait.. and the parasites just sit back and admire their handy-work..
From here in the heart of the red wall, I can tell you that we are pretty sick of the whole trope of the ‘strong in the arm but thick in the head’, where our streets are still in black and white, and we gaze open-mouthed at electric lights like it were some kind of magic.
I suspect that many of us are little different to each other outside of the ‘bubble’, whether North, South, East or West of it. We want the government off our back, and its hand out of our pockets.We’d like a government that does its upmost to fulfill its manifesto committments, nor one that forgets the we are its master, not the other way around.
Perhaps one difference is that we in the South have more middle class metropolitan champagne socialists per square mile – the London effect? When I used to live in London, most of my friends and acquaintances fell into this category, as do many of my London-based work colleagues.
You do find pockets of it ToF in all the big cities. I would say Manchester and Leeds probably more than anywhere else, but they are not big enough that you can live your entire 15 minute life inside one of these bubbles like you could in parts of London, and perhaps Surrey. The bleaker reality is too close at hand.
I moved out of London to get away from it. It’s more diluted in the home counties.
Cragside in Northumberland used to make the southerners gape in awe at the magic.
Red Wall Toryism (or indeed Toryism in general) has no future unless they end the Net Zero nonsense. Expensive energy is further hollowing out our diminished industrial base. There is no future for industry (or the country as a whole) without cheap, abundant energy.
https://davidturver.substack.com/p/net-zero-policies-damage-growth
Not just expensive energy.
Expensive energy that will NEVER be reliable because it is weather dependent and because NO energy can be stored in adequate quantities (other than bloody great coal stockpiles, as Maggie ensured in 1985. Even then you need the power stations, only three still not blown up!).
Excellent article.
similarly the red wall are not looking for left wing policies, any more than Maggie working class supporters were looking for right wing. In both cases they want someone who seems to appreciate their interests and values and they (we) can trust.
The most prevalent misconception about northern England is that a northern accent means you are working class. This is very far from true.
I moved from London to West Yorkshire about four years ago (I am a southerner but I have previously lived in the north at various times in my life). The most noticeable difference is the prevalence of mechanics, engineers and small businessmen with no need of cheap immigrant labour. Their kind would consider voting either way, but they tend to be scientifically knowledgeable and open to climate scepticism. They are also unanimous that Net Zero is just not going to happen at our current standard of living. I could easily imagine climate as the new Brexit, the issue that will just not go away however often the political class try to lance the boil.
Correct. The policy of English “devolution” into regions is not devolution ….. it’s balkanisation.
It’s a deliberate attempt to weaken English unity and its position within the United Kingdom …. a classic example of “divide and rule” by the governing class.
The EU was deliberately creating “a Europe of the regions” in order to weaken national Parliaments. Scotland, Wales, NI and London were all granted region status and their own Parliaments (Mayoralty in the case of London). England was too big to be a region and was to be sub-divided.
And that is still the policy: balkanisation of England.
IWHT the Red Wall is an artefact of the FPTP voting system.
