I’d like to thank the silent majority of decent, hardworking, patriotic British people for supporting my book, Suicide of a Nation.
For putting it in the Sunday Times bestseller list for three weeks straight - including two weeks at Number 1.
To my knowledge, nobody with a self-published book has ever done this before.
It is unprecedented.
While the last few weeks have been a rollercoaster, they have shown something very important.
They have shown there are millions of people in Britain who feel deeply concerned about how mass immigration is destroying their country, and feel completely excluded from the conversation.
What we have demonstrated with this book is that by representing the silent majority, by leaning into the silent majority, we can bypass the establishment, the broken institutions, the groupthink that dominates our culture, and legacy media, too.
My critics laughed. They attacked. Sneered. Criticised.
Even called for me to be shut down.
But while doing all this they missed two deeper points.
First, we don’t need you anymore. You can’t control us anymore. We can cut through regardless.
We don’t need the old gatekeepers, the old institutions, the old publishers, legacy media, the same old establishment figures.
We don’t need your approval.
Nor do we need to worship at the altar of liberal progressivism just to get published anymore.
Those days are gone. The old world is dead. You obsess over “diversity” yet you consistently fail to deliver genuine diversity of thought.
So we stepped up and addressed that gap.
What this book shows is that we can build our own platforms and still cut through, topping the charts while saying whatever we like.
Complete independence.
They can’t stop us. They can’t censor us. Which means they can’t control us. Which is why they hate us.
Second, what my critics also failed to realise, and what the success of the book reflects, is just how out-of-touch they now are from the country that surrounds them.
Many of my critics claim to reflect and explain the mood of the nation yet none have even engaged seriously with my argument.
Why? Because they’ve turned in on themselves and away from the people they claim to represent.
Everybody can see it.
They can no longer relate to the decent majority of Brits who are utterly fed up of being treated like second-class citizens in their own country and do not want to see their group demographically replaced.
More than half the country recently told one respected pollster they now feel like “a stranger in Britain because of immigration”, including nearly 1 in 3 black and minority ethnic Brits.
But who is actually speaking up for these people? When was the last time you actually read a book, listened to a BBC debate, or a fashionable Westminster podcast that took those people seriously and did not just write them off?
There is a reason why I dedicated my book to the silent majority. Because I wanted them to know that unlike those who dominate the institutions in our country I will always stand up for them.
I will always speak for them.
And I will always fight for them.
Whether by telling them the truth about what our useless politicians are really doing to the British people, representing their voice, or campaigning for them at elections.
As I wrote in the book: “They will attack me because I speak for you”.
And I will never stop doing so.
So cheers to the silent majority and thank you for your support! 👍🙏
