Traitors?! I’ll tell you who the f-ing traitors are - the sneering, bullying, globalist left. They have used mass immigration as a tool to destroy our national identity. Thanks to them, I no longer live in a country with a shared history or shared culture. A speechwriter for Blair said their plan was “to rub the right’s nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date.” Instead of retiring and writing their memoirs, our f-ing politicians should be on trial.

On top of that, they have done all they can to make us ashamed of our history. The left totally dominate publishing and academia, and the message is loud and clear - Britain’s history is shameful, and every national hero, from Jane Austen to Churchill, from Virginia Woolf to Scott of the Antarctic, is now ‘questionable’ and up for cancellation. Radio 4 can’t even discuss Tennyson without linking him to colonialism.

I have had a new identity IMPOSED on me. And then the left have the nerve to call Farage a fascist!!! THEY’RE the fascists. When you rub people’s nose in something and impose a new identity on them, you are a fascist. Then people wonder why no one wants to join the armed forces lol. Who is going to die for this dirty, overcrowded dump, with its de-colonised libraries and two-tier policing?!

It’s the identity Britain always had but hid from. You appear to be disturbed by your own truth.

The answer to your “loss of identity” isn’t to elect corrupt Russian oligarch funded hypercapitalists. They’re just pushing your buttons to make you unreasonably angry to steal your vote.

Youre very keen on pressing this point. You believe everything left wing political activists bring you, I will proceed with caution.

Lol, you just can't do it, can you?

Would you care to tell us a little bit about the Bayeux Tapestry?

It might just calm you down.

Gosh, they're really getting rattled now, aren't they? And it's only just begun.

I hope that they develop some coping mechanisms for by the time the police investigation is completed.

ghostyslovesheets · 04/09/2026 12:54

I’m proud to be British but I’m also aware that history changes and views and understanding also shift and develop.

Accepting that things we did then might be viewed differently to modern eyes is part of history - we did do things like oppressing nations, trading in human beings and robbing resources to make us rich - acknowledging that doesn’t make my identity as a British person lesser!

AnswerIsNo · 04/09/2026 12:55

Oh yes, you've convinced me of the exceptional memory of Reform voters who walk around holding those donation events in their working memory for instant recall at any moment..

and not just basic ability to copy and paste a list of urls from a Facebook post or some such similar propaganda 😀

I'll give you an A for effort though

Laundrybasketfull · 04/09/2026 12:56

Firetreev · 03/09/2026 22:13

Sadly, you're probably right. I think it might shed them at least a few percentage points in the polls though. The cultists will remain. They really are the UK MAGA crowd, how they can't see that he's an odious man who views them with contempt is beyond me. How he and his peers must laugh at them whilst drinking champagne and eating oysters.

Maybe not though - voting intention has defintely slipped (from Reform).

UK poll tracker: Nigel Farage’s Reform slips in polls as party’s conference starts

About six in ten Britons believe Reform is an untrustworthy party

I do think this kind of thinking exposes why Reform will never win a general election. Because the way Reform paint Britain is just not how most people see their country.

Most of the voting public are painfully aware of the many difficult challenges we are facing as a nation, but they don’t hate their country. They look around at their neighbourhoods and their neighbours, and they just don’t see a dirty, overcrowded dump, or de-colonised libraries and two-tier policing.

You can’t win mainstream support or win over floating voters with a vision that divisive.

TooBigForMyBoots · 04/09/2026 12:58

One of the very many interesting things that we saw was Orr saying "We just don't have British resident donors. British entities that would support us. That's the grim reality."

And that is the grim reality for Reform. After criticism of council spending on flags in Nottinghamshire, Lee Anderson told us it wouldn't cost the public a penny. That all the costs would be covered by patriotic businesses in the area. No businesses donated.

In a Reform held council, in a Reform constituency not a single company applied to sponsor their flag scheme. Not one.🤯🙈

So they sell out the UK to whatever foreigner wants it.

As I said, Traitors!😡😡😡

Completely agree.
I can acknowledge history, and not agree with the way that things were done (slavery, oppression for example) but why does knowing history mean you can't be proud of your country, or proud to be British? I can love England/Britain at the same time.

PerkingFaintly · 04/09/2026 13:08

The polls weren't independent. That's the point.

Reform organised them while keeping their name off the books.

Then offered the polls to reputable newspapers (The Times, The Telegraph) still without identifying that Reform was behind them.

The newspapers were unable to adequately assess the polls' value because they didn't know Reform had been involved.

Well, you've omitted important details like

the expose of Blair's speech writer came via Sir Andrew Green's self-formed right-wing think tank MigrationwatchUK.

Also, Farage and Boris made such a cock-up with Brexit, they had to import more of the foreigners you hate.

Make it make sense, because there's not much of it in your post apart from a rant and a few historical names.

What's your new identity? Incoherent and angry rambler?

If you enjoy rambling, I can send you a map for the Sunlit Uplands and a bus timetable for the Number 350 - after all I know how Reform are so keen on use of public transport to reduce emissions and getting us to net zero 😁.

It's actually very heartening to know that they're struggling to find donors in the UK. Helps to restore the faith a little.

Tbf to Reform, I think even they realise this (belatedly) and try to disassociate from the likes of our friend here, at least while trying to appear electable, hence why they binned off that other lunatic Lowe.
There's only so many times they can pass off the bin slingers, tin hats and white supremacists that have found a home in their ranks as 'ordinary angry people'. The monsters they've helped create are a liability.

And they'll be struggling a lot more after this cock up.
What business in their right mind would want to be linked to them now?
Hopefully, the "party" will just spontaneously combust and fade into oblivion.

Reform are terrible but sadly I think their “supporters” won’t care because “foreigners”. 🤦‍♀️

immigration is an issue, however, it definitely increased in recent times under the Tories, due to the obvious fact the Brexit had stripped us of a large proportion of European workers, many of whom would have been skilled.

The best best was seeing an article with Fromage - claiming the hosepipe bans were solely down to immigration causing an increase in demand

and absolutely nothing to do with underinvestment by all water companies through all AMP cycles from 1990..., combining with proven data trends in increased heatwave duration and frequency - as a result of anthropogenically-forced climate change impacting on on long-term ocean circulation (El Nina/Nino cycles) and shifted jet stream patterns due to a warming ocean system.

Limeandfigs · 04/09/2026 08:21

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Reform is not a genuine political party. It's a money-making exercise for Farage and his cronies, dressed up as a political party.

There will never be a PM Nigel Farage. He doesn't want the job. He'd be too restricted and under too much scrutiny. If the moment ever comes where it looks like Reform are in with a real chance of winning an imminent general election, you just watch him step down "to pursue other interests" or "to avoid distractions from our worthy cause".

He's been engaged in the same grifting and con-artist tricks for 30 years.

I really hope you're right, I badly want to believe this..

The police haven't actually begun the investigation yet, as far as I'm aware. I expect we will get an announcement in due course.

The Electoral Commission has confirmed that it has been liaising with the Met police regarding the matter.

Statement from Electoral Commission -
An Electoral Commission spokesperson said:
"We are considering all relevant information, in line with our regulatory remit, and we are in touch with the Met Police.
"The Electoral Commission has not approved the donor vetting process for Reform, or any other party. Parties are responsible for ensuring their internal processes and controls are fit for purpose.
"We provide advice and guidance to political parties on how to comply with electoral law.
“The law requires political parties to report all permissible donations they accept with a value over £11,180 and all impermissible donations over £500.
“Information about any potential attempt to evade the controls on donations is for the police to consider."
