...before it's too late?

A rudderless govt, bereft of talent, drifts from one mess to another, with a leader now incapable of delivering her key objective and the will of the people: Brexit.

Her Majesty's Opposition a hopeless rabble controlled by incompetent far-left revanchists.

The high reaches of the culture commanded by an equally obscure clique of metropolitan liberals, in thrall to the excesses of deranged American identity politics and engaged in a war with the Labour party and the wider country.

Brexit being eaten away and attacked by unelected continental foes such as Guy Verhofstadt, and internal fifth columnists such as Tony Blair, against whom the British public have no champions.

Freedom of speech not protected by constitution and being eroded as evidenced by Count Dankula case, etc.

Border control rejecting thot conservatives in favour of Jihadi Beatles.

Rape gangs roaming up and down the country with apparent impunity with no one doing anything to protect our children.

Defence budget now insufficient to control national interests. No coherent independent foreign policy or even an understanding of what that might be commensurate of global standing.

Foreign agents conducting clandestine operations with impunity on shore aided by domiciled piratical oligarchs ensconsed in plusher parts of the capital city.

Land not owned by Duke of Westminster owned by middle east petro-crooks (see also football clubs).

House of Lords now a placeholder for party appartchiks and leftist lunatics acting against the will of the people.

The House of Windsor now a middle class-celebrity circus, incapable of acting for the interests of its subjects.

The great medieval university colleges now social justice laboritories, being eaten away from the inside by identity politics.

Who is with me? Bring your own pitchfork

A4, do you believe that SS are stealing children, using false reports?

Yes putin and mugabee don’t agree democratic elections are the will of people either

I don't disagree with most of what you've written in your OP [b]A4[/b] there are lot of issues with both the government and the opposition seeming incompetent and the right of freedom of expression does seem under threat both at universities and in the wider world with neo-progressives pushing their ever moving ideological purity BS, and so on, though I will admit there is some of that I don't know well enough to make comment. I do disagree with the Border Control one, purely because that's not how it works. It isn't a one in and one out thing, no one was denied entry to let in the 'Jihadi Beatles' and at least some of the conservatives have recent convictions and/or arrests which many countries use as a disqualifier for visiting.

However, I'm not sure what you mean by a revolution or working arm in arms. Exactly how? I mean, most even mass protests and such in recent UK history haven't exactly done anything. The last one to even appear to do anything I think was maybe the one over ID cards - and I think that more got scrapped over costs and feasibility rather than the protests changing anyone involved's mind - it was eventually rolled out anyways, just on non-EU immigrants. I've seen the protests about the Count Dankula and the recent work to encourage people to use Speaker's Corners is some parts of the country, but really - genuinely curious here - what do you think people can and should do to deal with this as pitchforks are not likely to happen or be effective at this time, I think.

On the plus side a revolution would at least be something exiting. Something to break up the years of the perpetual daily grind in the grey monotony of the British urban environment with the only glimmer of hope being the Mind numbing inevitably of death.

I bet many people yurn for a revolution even if it’s only for the opportunity for a quicker death.
