David Cameron’s Britain

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and and the few remaining British battle back;

David Cameron’s top team have their “tin hats on” tonight as a surge in support for UKIP left them braced for a drubbing in the polls.
The Tories and Lib Dems are both set for a hammering in the by-election for safe Labour seat South Shields while UKIP eyes its best ever ­Westminster contest performance.

You can follow the action with Nigel Farage.

  1. And Nigel Farage’s anti-EU rabble is also set to do Mr Cameron enormous damage at council polls largely held in Tory Shire ­heartlands.
    When did Robert Fife start writing for the Mirror?

  2. It is proud I am to hear of the incredible serge of Mr. Nigel Farage (England’s Ron Paul) and the UKIP Party. The values of Liberty and Independence (from nanny gument) are not yet dead in GB! Best News I have heard in weeks.
    Thanks for posting this Kate – I have checked CBC and CTV – no announcements there; once again, SDA proves that it is the best news source in Canada. I have been following this election all afternoon at this site:

  3. South Shields by-election: Labour retain seat as UKIP finish second
    Labour have won the South Shields parliamentary by-election, retaining a seat they have held since 1935.
    Labour saw their majority reduced in Thursday’s poll as The UK Independence Party finished a clear second, with a 24% share of the vote.
    The Conservatives were pushed into third while their Liberal Democrat coalition partners finished seventh.

  4. Go UKIP!!
    Next stop….majority!
    But, now that they are a serious threat, just wait for all of the established intelligencia, media, and political parties to band together and trash them.
    Remember the Reform Party of Canada anyone?

  5. Remember the Reform Party of Canada anyone?
    Yeah, how has that worked out for us?

  6. Agreed, SDH.
    But, what I was referring to was the way Reform was vilified by the above mentioned established groups in my previous posting.

  7. Lovely. So the Queen’s British ministers have decided that UKIP members may be trusted with such lofty decisions as which day of the week the proles should put out their wheelie bins. Nobody in a position to actually change anything will be elected tomorrow. Hence UKIP can safely be thrown a few bones to maintain the illusion of popular rule, because it doesn’t matter.
    What matters is the election to Westminster—and the powers that be will see to it that UKIP are not permitted to form a government that takes the side of the British people against their enemies and is brave enough to tell the Germans and the banksters of all nations that if they want England they can jolly well come get her, and see how well it works out this time.
    What surprises me is that Farage seems naive enough to think it does matter.

  8. According to Doug Saunders Farage simply represents “Little England nativism”. So I guess that’s him properly dismissed. Silly Nigel Farage.

  9. Farage is right. It does matter. In the UK, local councils are the nursery of party politics. If a UKIP controlled council starts setting the example of attending to local services properly instead of using them for theatrical effect, it could really start something.

  10. Every successful movement begins small. It is necessary to begin, and to persevere.
    “To hope, `til hope creates from its own wreck
    The thing it contemplates”, to quote Shelley.
    “It is not necessary to hope in order to act,
    Nor to succeed in order to persevere” to quote William the Silent.

  11. Always liked Nigel Farage. He’s a straight shooter with a bulldog tenacity, for truth against the Progressive fascists. Good speaker backed by facts. An oddity in this age.

  12. When the old people are gone, and the young generation grown up, the English will be a minority in England. This is not something that could happen, it already has. The majority of children born in England are to foreign mothers. England is on its way to total economic and social collapse and there is nothing any politician can do about it any more. The war has been lost.

  13. The Reform party changed Canadian politics. Gone is the Progressive Conservative party that gave us Brian Mulroney, Kim Campbell and Joke Lark (progressives to a fault) and the formation of the Conservative Party. Since the rise of Stephen Harper we’ve seen the abolishment of the long gun registry, a 28% reduction in the GST and numerous changes to the tax code that leaves more more money in the pockets of working class people. At the same time our immigration and foreign policies have became saner and continue to move in the right direction, as witnessed by John Baird’s recent tonguelashing of the corrupt and decrepit UN. And for anyone who failed to make the connection, the rise of Reform and it’s hardline stance to Quebec separatism gave us several years of constitutional stability. Baby steps as they say.

  14. Frank is correct – there is no longer a Reform party. The UK will hopefully do something similar, reduce the old tory party to a small rump, and unite conservatives under UKIP, even if they need to keep the old conservative party name for appearance sake. This is probably also somewhat comparable to what needs to happen in Alberta, where progressive liberals have taken over the traditional conservative party, leaving Wildrose to eventually take over. In each case the true conservative alternative (going back to reform) has been vilified by the media as being the home of neo nazis. Eventually the truth leaks out in spite of the media liars.

  15. ick Skater: you have a point but you are also missing one. The crucial aspect of bringing a fledgling political party into relevance is to first establish a beach head, and then use that to build strength and credibility among the electorate. Example: After Peter Lougheed became leader of the Alberta PCs, they only managed to gain six seats. Buy that gave them a platform, and the next election they decimated the Socreds and established a dynasty that endured for something like forty years. Baby steps…baby steps.

  16. apologies…above should be addressed to Dick Slater…no offence intended (my keyboard sucks)

  17. Minutemand – agreed. What happened to Britain is irreversible. The demographic changes of today will really only impact in a generation. England is lost. It boggles the mind.

  18. The conservative movement in Canada demonstrated an ability to purge progressive forces from their ranks. This was not an inconsequential effort. Unfortunately the reality is that progressives infiltrate positions of power on an ongoing basis as they are doing in Ottawa today. The Reform/CPC moderated their message as to appeal to a broader range of voters in their march to majority.
    My critic of this effort is that the current CPC has not used their time in power to educate voters to the realities faced by Canadians now or in the future. I fear that ‘old time’ politics of ‘who you know’ being more important than ‘what you know’ has re-established itself at the federal level. Voices at the riding level are not heard anymore in Ottawa as well as during Reform days.
    The so called ‘attack’ ads of the CPC on young Turdeau are pretty superficial IMO. Why don’t they go to the core issue and discuss the level of corruption that still exists in the Libel Party of Canada. Talk about who really controls that party and how they have profited over the decades. The 100’s of $ billions stolen from Canadians. These forces will use young Turdeau to regain their position. 2015 will tell the tale.

  19. CT, the billions of dollars squandered pale in comparison to the damage wreaked by the war liberals have waged against western civilization and their undermining of our institutions. Education, media, marriage, parenting, justice and immigration, to name a few, have been bent into versions more suitable to the lefts warped senses much to the detriment of our common good. England and the rest of the EU countries are now beginning to experience the inevitable chaos that socialism brings. Unlike past fits of self destruction pitting political, cultural and denominational groups against each other, the Europeans have now incorporated elements of racial and religious anti-matter into the mélange. There’s no going back, and God knows what lies ahead.
