The Establishment Playbook is the same across The West when it comes to crushing Populism - and thus the will of the people 1. First demonize. Use words like 'fascist' and 'far right' and 'division' 2. Accuse of not being 'serious' politics 3. Cast doubt over health, medical records, fitness for office of leaders 4. Dig around for financial irregularity, an office error - anything to launch a broad lawfare attack 5. Try to sow splits internally via moles and conspiracies. Set up fake contender parties or leadership challenges 6. Accuse populist parties of foreign intervention, especially Russia. 7. Change the rules of the plebiscite, from party funding to constituency boundaries to voting age to voting system. Postpone, cancel or 'redo' elections when the vote doesnt go the intended way 8. Form supercoalitions in order to keep the populists out, even if it means appeasing Communists and Islamists 9. Hope that someone carries out an assassination attempt What terrifies me is that The Machine has already - or is already - doing 1-8 when it comes to attacking Farage Please keep him safe Lord He is the only politician to be consistent about what matters for 30 years They are out to get him

Thomas Crooks - Trump's shooter, Tyler James Robinson - Charlie Kirk's killer, and a host of high school shooters Disturbed young men radicalised online by extreme left, trans, antifa and incel groups Often taking artificial hormones Often taking SRIs Imbalanced, brainwashed sickos being fed the narrative that they have to kill right wing people because they pose an existential threat Susceptible, ill, isolated young men being turned into lone wolf killers. There is a pattern Hard Left radicalisation and Islamist radicalisation share many tropes

Aren't we just learning BlueSky is a twisted dystopian fascistic wet dream of radicalising people already cusping on extreme mental illness into becoming would be assassins and terrorists Never gets mentioned in the online regulation framework mind. Course not. Perhaps they want to create a zombie state of complicit and willing f*ck ups I mean, Stalin, Mao, Hamas, Hitler...it's a playbook right?

"Rest in piss" Bluesky, the home where leftists make death threats and organize violent riots, is also where they are praising the m—rder of 78-year-old English conservative politician-activist and Reform spokeswoman @AnnWiddecomb.

As empires go, the EU is no Assyrian butcher, but it is still a smug, soul-crushing villain, petty, vindictive, and parasitic to its core. It struts like a resurrected Rome, draped in confected and artificial borrowed grandeur—epitomised by the fake, stylised bridges on the euro banknotes, as though Europe’s actual majestic bridges and cathedrals were somehow insufficient. Yet it commands none of Rome’s competence, none of its steel, and none of its results. It pales beside the British Empire’s raw dynamism. Its most unhinged critics call it a Fourth Reich, which is flattery. The truth is far more pathetic: it’s a decaying late-Soviet husk, stripped of ideology and left with nothing but managerial suffocation, self-dealing oligarchs, and an endless parade of unelected eurocrats fattening themselves at the public trough. Remember the idiotic prognostications just a few years ago? The EU was supposedly destined to rule the 21st century through the sheer majesty of its “regulatory soft power”, the “Brussels Effect” that would bend the world to its will. Delusional hubris. These secular clerics actually believe that regulation itself creates growth and innovation, as if smothering enterprise with paperwork, compliance costs, and risk aversion somehow magically summons dynamism. The bureaucrats who strangle every creative impulse then turn around expecting gratitude from the populations they’ve enfeebled. The results speak for themselves: universities sliding into second-rate mediocrity, industries turning third-rate under the weight of green dogma and Chinese overcapacity, and militaries that rank somewhere between third and fourth—paper tigers in a world that respects hard power, not directives on banana curvature. Don’t get me started on the idiocy of EU foreign policy, which as Collingwood points out, consists of turning friends into enemies, frontiers into raging forest fires. The rest of the world should not forget the last EU foreign affairs supremo (who actually was less bad than the current one, astonishingly) describing it as the “jungle” where nothing works as opposed to the “garden”, i.e., Europe, where everything’s hunky dory. These are not people of the “reality-based community”; they are cloistered mentalists tripping on their own posterior gasses. The EU Parliament in Brussels has draped itself in banners self-congratulating as the bastion of European democracy, when in truth there is almost no meaningful democratic legitimacy in how the EU is governed: power lies with the unelected Commission, the opaque Council horse-trading, and the permanent bureaucracy, not with any sovereign European people. Britain should count itself profoundly lucky to have escaped, even with the diminished, half-baked Brexit that our political class managed to “negotiate.” We shackled our national economy to a crashing zombie, submitted our laws to aliens who don’t much like us or our habits, and chained our regulations to minds hostile to the free-trading, global outlook that makes sense for an island nation. Our defence policy was (and is still, sadly) warped by the need to pretend we have a vital land frontier a thousand miles away, when our true strategic hinterland has always been the ocean. Escaping that slow-motion suicide, however imperfectly, remains one of the sanest, if incomplete, acts this country has taken. What about the EU that truly disgusts is the default malice: the pettiness, the preening bureaucratic narcissism, the casual sadism with which Brussels punishes any nation that deviates from its dogma. This is a quasi-aristocratic vampire squid—a flaccid imperium—latched onto a weakened civilization at a point of vulnerability, draining its blood, vitality, and future. This misbegotten monstrosity will not last. When it finally implodes under the weight of its own arrogance, corruption, and failure, Europe should breathe a sigh of relief and move on—scarcely bothering to mourn the corpse.
Collingwood 🇬🇧@admcollingwood

It really is extraordinary the extent to which the EU has alienated the great powers and its own flanking powers. Every time I make this point, I have EUphiles commenting angrily about how that's everybody else's fault. But there comes a stage where if everybody thinks you're an unpleasant person to deal with you have to start wondering whether it really is their fault afterall. The EU, of course, still hasn't reached that stage. Thus, having: (1) alienated Turkey, (2) lost Britain from the Union and being only one change of government away from very frosty relations, (3) presided over a total breakdown of relations with Russia, (4) having increasingly fractious relations with Serbia and Switzerland, (5) breaking relations with Georgia because they didn't like an election result there, (6) having increasingly strained relations with the US, and (7) now infuriating the Chinese by trying to pressure them using trade leverage (see the Chinese view of its own history as to why this is so tone deaf) — they still just blame everybody else for being in the wrong. They also wonder why they are losing economic competitiveness. Oh, I don't know, could it be because you cut off cheap energy from Russia, showed no flexibility with Britain, are consistently entering trade squabbles with China, and can't reach a deal with the US? The right will still claim it's green energy policies. Lolz!! Until they get past the arrogance, hubris and conceit that blinds them, the downward trend will continue.

Just watching the build up to England v Fiji rugby Lots of colourful ceremonials from the Pacific Islanders It's vogue in sports now to act out visual national symbolism So when Norway get in their Viking Boat later, let's hope our boys remember their bells and hankies for a good old intimidating Morris dance

Rt Hon Nadine Dorries@NadineDorries·
Your apology is about you - desperate not be cancelled by @SkyNews and @TimesRadio for your inhumane, insensitive and depraved misogynisric commentary. You fear becoming irrelevant and will say anything in order to stop that happening. You are a fake and we see you. You have lowered the standards not only of all broadcasters and journalism everywhere but of what is deemed acceptable narrative in a civil society when someone dies. No channel should ever use you again. Focusing on her supposed virginity as if that was what defined her? You are a sick man.
Adam Boulton@adamboultonTABB

AN APOLOGY I was seriously wrong and insensitive in one of the several media appearances I made yesterday in reaction to the death of Ann Widdecombe. I got the timing and tone of my initial word portrait of her wrong. Of course I shared, and share, the horror at her murder and the respect for her remarkable and feisty political career. I also know that many people loved her for her subsequent showbiz stardom. Her untimely death is a horrible thing. My mistaken view was that in the context of rolling news coverage, I was being asked to contribute as an obituarist who has known her and interacted with her since the 1980s. This approach was premature. At no point was I expressing my personal feelings about her, that's not what I do. I was discussing her life in the round, based on the record of known facts and what she has said about herself, along with some recollections of our personal interactions. My choice of words on the spur of the moment was clumsy. I did not intend to offend though obviously I did.

Stochastic terrorism The use of mass media by a public figure to repeatedly demonize or dehumanize a targeted group or individual. This hostile rhetoric incites random, ideologically motivated violence that is statistically predictable but individually unpredictable, allowing the speaker to maintain plausible deniability.

This is terrible news. Ann Widdecombe brought conviction, wit and personality to public life over many years. My thoughts are with her family and friends. I hope her killer is brought to justice as quickly as possible and faces the full force of the law. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp9l…

🚨 Ann Widdecombe's last interview from Wednesday's breakfast show. "There IS an establishment" She stated she has no faith in parliamentary processes to come to fair conclusions and, as such understands why Nigel Farage has resigned as an MP. @mrmarkdolan

This isn’t a murder investigation into a former politician. It’s a murder investigation into the hitherto currently serving Justice Spokeswoman for the Reform Party.

Henry Bolton OBE 🇬🇧@_HenryBolton

I’m sorry @ThatAlexWoman you clearly do not know what’s going on. I was involved in the discussion as to whether or not Restore Britain should stand in Clacton, and there was no collusion. None. It was an entirely independent decision. When people with public reach make claims of collusion, implying you have inside knowledge as you are doing, when you do not, you are misinforming and therefore harming British democracy.
