We’re not winning. After the terror attack in Nice the blood lay on the roads for weeks. The memory of the atrocities was scorched into the tarmac. The screams of people into my intercom seeking refuge recorded. It was two days before I sought medical assistance for myself. The media circus that came to town was only interested in our capitulation. In the bullshit secularised Christian “pray for Nice”. How we would “win”’over terrorism by continuing life. As though nothing had happened. And so as with all terror attacks it was ushered out of minds. The inconvenience of Muslim terror and Islam’s poison and centuries old obsessions. The inconvenience invited to our shores which no one knows how to handle and so doesn’t. And when anyone does, say Israel, the world rushes to condemn it. The images of released hostages far more palatable than raped twelve year old girls shot in the back of the head with bloodied knickers around their ankles. And disembowles pregnant women. We ignore it. We want to move on. Left or right or frankly day dreaming libertarians can never fully understand what’s at stake. So it’s hands off don’t go there not our circus not our monkeys by virtually everyone in the approach to this. Except the monkeys are in our towns. And they long ago started murdering more than Israeli kids.

We won’t solve these problems by singing “Don’t look back in anger”. We need to send them back. Permanently. We are at an inflection point.

My point is rather that we won’t. We don’t have the willpower. Or the balls. We never have. The only way to resolve this is to remove the status quo in power. I’m on the side of the violent far right. Or Israel. I don’t give two cursory shits who gets a grip anymore or how anyone decides to label those that take matters into their own hands. Perhaps that’s what surviving a terror attack has done to me. But standing around throwing our hands in the air and hoping we can solve this by the ballot box is wishful thinking.

When things get hard enough you'll find the balls.

I think that's what Dominic was eluding to. When the establishment don't act the people end up taking it into their own hands. The direction of travel is obvious unless the electorate do something different and strip the power base away from these failing parties. The polls suggest people are moaning but not taking decisive action they're still flip flopping between the two that have led us here.

If you look throughout Europe you'll see parties have sprung up to answer these issues, despite the cathedral trying to stop them. We need to form a new party in the UK that acts for the good of the majority, not for the "Anywhere people" like Sunak and his wife.

Nothing will change I’m afraid. I haven’t seen any rise. Maybe some rumblings in Ireland but they aren’t far right - as he says it’s a media label. I genuinely don’t think anything’s going to change.
