Time for Reform UK to go on the Attack

The Crucial Period

Editor’s Note: I am aware some of my colleague’s posts are being censored with requests for age verification, could anyone please let me know in comments or on X if this is happening to my posts as well. Many thanks.

Nigel Farage is not a Ming Vase candidate. He does not have to meekly accept slander and abuse from irrelevant randos so long as he keeps repeating soundbites on immigration. Farage is due to win the biggest majority of a third party in British history. People are voting for him because he has, not just on immigration but on Russia, on drug legalisation, on taxes and defence championed heterodox causes. They do not want him to transform into the same utterly tedious strong on defence, rooted patriots, socially right but fiscally left, stand up to Putin but strong on integration silly sausage nightmare every single failed British ministry has morphed into under media pressure.

I am sure Reform can make this all ‘go away’ by adopting their usual submissive tactics; for sure, Nigel Farage has more experience in weathering these storms than anyone else in politics. It is just my gut feeling that this time it is different. It comes after Reform have decisively broken with the David Bull wing of the party and endorsed the Zianist line of reviewing all ILR applications. If Reform can win the local council elections on this ticket, it will be a signal that the ‘polling’ of ‘rooted sensibles’ by Luke Tryl is irrelevant to electoral success and opens the door to further radicalism. As a result, the system has correctly identified the intervening window of months as a crucial period.

The appointment of Alan Mendoza after Farage needlessly backed down in response to very minor pressure on Ukraine was touched on in our last J’accuse and remains underreported on. This is a sign the online right have been slacking. We have been told to bite our tongues on the train of Postliberals arriving at Reform HQ but an outright neocon writing Farage’s foreign policy cannot be COPED away in the same fashion. One of the big sell points of Reform, that it might realign British foreign policy to keep us out of a war — at the same time as E.U leaders are crowing about a WW2 scale conflict, is now in danger. The media attacks, and Farage’s strategy of dealing with them, cannot be ignored.

Where have G.B News been in all this? At least one of the 12 ‘Trade Unionists’ must be hauled before G.B News panel of grooming gang survivors, forced to listen to 2 minutes of editorial describing girls being raped into infertility before being confronted by Ellie Reynolds who must scream at them for daring to ask Nigel Farage for apologies without so much as donating a penny to grooming gang victims. We do not have to accept this any more. This is not a fringe lotush eaters point. We have our own atrocity. If they refuse to go on the show, the Women’s Safety Institute must doorstop the individual signatories filming them as they ask, loudly, whether they think its acceptable to talk about antisemitism while British children are being anally raped by refugees. In those exact words. The message must be received that if you are going to try and play the antisemitism card, we are going to force you to openly place it against our Rotherham card and we know which card will lose.

Farage must sue the individuals currently touring the airwaves claiming he called them dustbin lids in year 10. It is irrelevant that they are telling the truth. You can settle out of court if that is the case. It will give you six months of legal bureaucracy in which the media cycle shifts to something else. The point is, you have to show from day 1 that these sorts of allegations cannot be made without consequences. Any journalist or politician repeating them must be prepared for similar indemnities. You are not Jeremy Corbyn. You are not going to be bullied.

Some might be interested to know why the media are attacking now and why they are choosing such apparently irrelevant topics. The mainstream can afford, to a certain extent, to ‘lose’ the battle on immigration: what frightens it is if it loses it in the wrong way. To lose a battle is insignificant if you know how to win the war and winning the war is trivial if you write the playbook. The essential myth the British ruling class are fighting, tooth and nail to preserve is that elections are decided by a broad mass of low-information, apathetic voters. There is, at this point, absolutely zero evidence to suggest this is the case. Reform rocketed to become the highest polling party during the same period Nigel Farage was saying we should abandon Ukraine; with the ILR promise in September, for the first time, we now have a concrete policy case of a party willfully defying the Luke Tryll anti-crank consensus. It is irrelevant whether the British public think people who ‘pay taxes’ are ‘British’, if they are sufficiently incensed about immigration to vote for a party that thinks they are not, because this is correct, and it is that party’s right to implement their agenda fully. Especially when a sizable minority, 15-20%, do in fact believe this, and believe that the Ukraine war is a farce, and expect the party they vote for to remain true to this belief.

You might be starting to see what is at stake here. If the immigration battle is lost, this can be spun, as it is already being spun, as a basically heartwarming story of the British establishment cocking it all up before coming to its senses with the help of the businesslike public who stayed within the bounds of moderation. If Nigel Farage realises he doesn’t need to appeal to made up ‘normies’, this is the end of the polling companies, the end of the newspapers, the end of the think tanks – it is the difference between an ideological defeat and the obsolescence of the entire politics industry.

This is why Ukraine, uniquely, is attracting so much establishment energy. To 90% of people this seems weird. The British people do not care about Ukraine one way or the other, next to the cost of living, or immigration, it is irrelevant. Yet, attacks on Farage revolve around this fringe issue. Surely, the real powerbrokers, who laugh at Luke Tryl behind closed doors, realise the issue has no legs but if someone can become Prime Minister while openly saying he doesn’t care about Ukraine: this would imply Ukraine never, really, mattered to anyone at all. It would imply, what is in fact a reality, that the entire multi-trillion pound British involvement in Ukraine has basically transpired without a single democratic vote. If this becomes well-known, people, at home and abroad, will stop treating the whole edifice of ‘democracy’ as mattering in predicting the behaviour of the British state. They will start to wonder what else can be gotten away with.

The system has accepted Nigel Farage as a candidate for Prime Minister and now realise all of their future prospects depend on convincing him, in the future, that he holds this office by the support of the media and a large swathe of apathetic voters. This will in turn determine whether he can be spooked by future Partygate type manufactured scandals, and tricked, as the Tories were tricked, into believing Reform voters represent the same ‘red wall’ consensus which has destroyed every British political party since Theresa May. Reform must hold the line in the next few months until the local elections; Reform will win these elections, the question is whether it wins them by showing that the polls and the press are meaningless and the voters want radical change, or if the story is spun that Farage has ‘moderated’ and must moderate further if he wants to enter Number 10.
