Lisa Nandy, Labour’s new Culture Secretary, has said she wants to end the “culture wars” that cause “division”. This from a woman who said male rapists should be sent to women’s prisons and who belongs to a party whose leaders wasted no time in taking the knee for race rioters. The Telegraph‘s Michael Deacon has more.
In her first speech in the role, [Nandy] said our society suffers from too much “division” – so she’s made it her “mission” to end it. “The era of culture wars,” she promised, “is over.”
A noble aim. There is, however, one small problem. Which is that she’s absolutely guaranteed to fail. Because, in reality, the culture wars are only just beginning. And it’s all the Left’s fault.
Left-wingers like Ms. Nandy love to blame the Tories for “stoking culture wars”. But this is the most brazen distortion of the truth. Think of all the culture wars that have been inflicted upon us in recent years. The rows over gender identity, Black Lives Matter, boycotting Israel, “decolonising” universities… Every single one of those conflicts was started by Left-wingers seeking to impose their radical beliefs on the rest of us. So the Left accusing the Right of stoking culture wars is like Putin blaming NATO for his invasion of Ukraine.
And it’s not as if Labour politicians have tried to rise above these conflicts. Time and again, they’ve eagerly embraced them. Take, for example, our new Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer – who, at the height of the Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, proudly released a photo of himself and Angela Rayner, his deputy, taking the knee.
For another example: take Ms. Nandy herself. When campaigning to be Labour leader in 2020, she was asked whether male criminals who identify as women should be placed in female prisons. She replied: “I think trans women are women and trans men are men. So I think they should be accommodated in the prison of their choosing.”
Three years after Ms. Nandy made these delightfully compassionate remarks, Isla Bryson, who was a man when found guilty of raping two women, was sent to a Scottish female prison. The resulting uproar – which helped bring down Nicola Sturgeon as Scotland’s First Minister – suggested that, funnily enough, locking rapists in a building full of women can actually be quite “divisive”. Yet it was Left-wingers who’d argued for it.

Until the head of the snake is cut off in the WEF et al, it won’t matter who is running our country.
We can only hope that Trump will be first to wield the sword against the snake and show others how to follow…
People are slowly beginning to realise that we don’t live in a democracy. Can’t have too much sympathy, we all found time to research while leading busy lives. They can lie in their prison beds, but we will all join them if we let these, what I can only describe as psychopaths get away with it.
What Mr Lowe MP says;
”I know it’s so incredibly tedious to repeat ourselves again and again and again on what’s happening in the Channel, but we just have to keep banging away. It’s boring, it’s repetitive, it’s necessary. Hundreds more have crossed today…
I worry it’s becoming more and more normalised. Just another part of life, having these foreign males placed in communities around the country.
There is NOTHING normal about it.
305 yesterday, 407 the day before, 451 on Christmas Day. The vast majority male, the vast majority young, the vast majority not genuine asylum seekers.
I have it on good authority from those directly involved in the process that our weak asylum system is being abused on an industrial scale. Men claiming to be boys, officially being given ‘the benefit of the doubt’? They’re lying about their sexuality, age, religion, background – all to tick the right boxes in order to satisfy the incompetent Home Office. There is a process to follow to get accepted, and they do exactly that.
Those who do get caught out? They’re not securely detained, so many slip into the night, never to be seen again – it is total bloody madness.
Thousands and thousands officially become refugees, and are set for a life of comfort funded by the British taxpayer. £726 million was spent on Universal Credit for refugees in 2023 – much of that on individuals who entered the country illegally via small boat.
Make no mistake. If our political leadership had the will, this could be solved almost overnight. Yes, it won’t be a particularly elegant solution. But it will work. And it needs to be done.
The message has to be clear and it has to be simple. If you come here illegally, you CANNOT stay. We’ve already welcomed 150,000 from the boats, a number that is growing rapidly.
My message to you has to be this – do NOT get used to it.
It is NOT acceptable. And we must NOT accept it, regardless of how repetitive it all is.”

At some point very soon the message will have to be firmed up…
‘When Reform take over ALL illegals will be rounded up and shipped out and there will be NO exceptions. For the so-called legals each case will be investigated. Again no exceptions.
France – start your preparations.”
Yes, indeed. Mind, you have got Bradford as the ‘City of Culture’ next year to look forward to, so it’s not all bad.
Bloody hell. Wall-to-wall chapatis. Can’t wait.
Rupert Lowe appears to be doing all the heavy lifting and gaining much kudos as a result.
“There may be trouble ahead …”
He certainly is. I like him. He’s a man who gets things done.
Check out this young lad in Ireland getting assaulted by a bus driver. If you put the sound on you can hear the whack.
No idea what the context was. It’ll probably end up behind a sensitivity warning soon;

A similar approach could be used on all the illegals rocking up on our shores.
A whack on the , a kick in the balls, ship the fuckers all back to france, burn the boats they come in on, and jail the boats men.
I can’t help thinking that Henry v, Nelson or Churchill wouldn’t have put up with this shit for very long.
Sink the boats on the edge of French waters.
I regret the UK and USA are unlikely to sign a trade deal because the sponsors of the Labour Party, and its most vocal members:
Hate Trump and anything American except Democrat wokism
They are terrified of chlorinated chicken. Even those few of them who have ever been to the USA other than to campaign for Hilary, Biden or Harris.
If there is anyone out there who cannot guess why Reform are gaining members, apart from the Tory leadership, please go to a cool dark room and think hard.
It’s not so much that they are not delivering change, it is the things that should be changed aren’t being, and the changes they are making are basically vandalism, apparently deliberately aimed at wrecking decent peoples’ lives.
