Rumours of a New Conservative Party Become More Than Rumours.

 It seems there is more than just rumours of a new Conservative party rising. 

I've long said we need something to unite all of the Conservative factions in UK politics, essentially by a merger of the independent Conservative parties that have sprung up in the past decade.

But now there appears to be a party arising with some bit hitters behind it.

The rumours of the Farage/Johnson alliance and them starting yet another political party on the right may not be just rumours.

The day Boris resigned, the "National Conservatism Party" applied to the Electoral Commission to become a new political party. 

It remains to be seem if this is "The" Conservative party that Nigel Farage was talking about a few weeks ago when he let slip he was talking to some big names in the Conservative movement.

It will be interesting to see if Aaron Banks is er, Bankrolling this new party and if it's just yet another right wing party to split the right wing vote, or if it can garner enough support to draw members away from Reform, Respect, UKIP and the like.  Hopefully with big names it can gain gravitational force to pull members and candidates from the other parties. 

But it will have to move quickly. Although Farage has the ability to amass a following in double-quick time, just look at the Brexit party and how quickly it created a movement that posed a real threat to the actual Conservative party.

The only downside is the name: National Conservatism, sounds a lot like National Socialist.  But if the far left radicals are going to call you a Nazi for being moderate, you might as well do a bit of trolling at the same time eh? 

Start wearing black shirts? Get Hugo Boss to design some merch? The options for trolling could be endless. 

Maybe the party could have "We Care For the Majority" as it's motto? So that when some minority has a go they can say "We don't care about Minorities, we only care about the Majority".

Because one of the main failings of the political system over the past few decades is pandering to minorities to the extent they think they can rule over the majority. Well, it's about time the majority put minorities exactly where they should be: nowhere near government policy. 

Also no Marxist polices should be tolerated within the party. No identity politics, no gender ideology, everything should be based on sound scientific fact. No feelings allowed.

But anyway, the connection to Farage and Johnson is just mere speculation at the moment. But we'll see.




Bonfire of The Independent Thinkers.

 No matter what criticisms you have of Boris Johnson or Nicola Sturgeon, the thing they has was charisma. They also bucked the trend of bland, unthinking robotic politicians.

But, that bravura caught up with them eventually.

There was a point I defended Boris as originally the "PartyGate" scandal was essentially a bunch of workers having a drink at work. They were at work and it doesn't matter what you do if you're an essential worker whether you're there working, or having a sherry to toast a colleague as they leave for pastures new. 

The Covid rules allowed essential workers to be at work. Anything else is semantics and splitting hairs out of jealousy.  It appears that the dispute is what constitutes an essential worker, or a person that was allowed to be on the premises under the Covid rules. 

I was an essential worker and we had Pizza delivered the bosses ordered as a thank you for working through the pandemic. It wasn't much of a party, but it was a nice gesture as we stopped work for a bit and collectively took a break. We were sensible and distanced as much as we could., but still if you want to get extremely nit-picky there were occasions where it just wasn't possible. Carrying a two-person heavy load, for instance. 

In the end we chose to work as much as we could within the rules within reason and common sense. That's all you can do, otherwise you might as well say even essential workers should have gone home. Because at the end of the day if you make enough disparate o rules or make the rules especially vague, then you 're going to fall foul of one eventually.

It's an old Soviet tactic: keep watching someone for long enough and with enough rules around they'll eventually break a rule and you'll be able to prosecute.

In Boris' case I think this is what has happened. The knives have been out from the start and this is the thing they pinned on him. It's a bit like Al Capone: the only thing they eventually pinned on him was tax evasion, which was just enough to put him in jail, despite the heinous acts he masterminded over the years.

Sturgeon is a completely different case. There looks to be definite evidence of fraudulent activity. Enough to warrant charges and arrests. Whether she was directly involved is not yet proven, but it's not looking good for at least her husband and others in the SNP financial apparatus.

In both cases however, I get the feeling there was a concerted effort to remove them and replace them with other, less headstrong replacements. In the UK we eventually got Rishi because the establishment didn't like the people's choice of Liz Truss. Don't forget that Rishi didn't even win the confidence of his own party's members, let alone win a general election.

In Sturgeon's case I think she was led down a path that she followed which led to her demise. 

In both cases we got inferior replacements. Rishi the Billionaire accountant and that bloke in Scotland whose name I can't remember. 

Bland placeholders, no agenda, no plan. 

And that's what the globalists want: people they can influence and get results. Rishi will not rock the boat like Liz Truss and Boris did. They will not stir up trouble and keep pressing the independence button like Nicola Sturgeon did. The globalists right now want open borders, not fragmentation. They want seamless trading, not customs barriers. Just look how quickly the original Northern Ireland agreement was modified, when both sides realised they'd reduced profits for the globalists.

Just remember we used to be their employers, their masters. That appears to be no longer the case. I've been banging on for over a decade that modern governments have been corrupted and co-opted to serve the global corporations. They no longer serve the best interest of the people, the voters that vote them into power.
