🔃 THE INVERSION. How Britain was taught to apologise for still being here.
Something in this country has been stood on its head. It's not only a policy. It's not only a fashion in the universities. It's a habit of mind.
The people who made Britain, who built the towns, kept the law, buried their dead in this soil, have been recast as the problem to be managed. Their continuity is treated as an embarrassment. Their questions are treated as a crime.
That's the inversion. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. This is not a cellar plot. It's on the news, in the classroom, in the charging decision, and in the minister who serves a foreign supremacist ideology first.
This habit WILL be broken.

@TheBritishIntel We stand with him. A Falklands commander does not need a lecture on what a border is. The 'leaders' do. Stop the boats and do it now, before the wetness he is describing hardens into the thing he's warning about.
🪖 Major-General Julian Thompson commanded 3 Commando Brigade in the Falklands. He is 92. He has well and truly earned the right to say the country has gone soft.
He told Steven Edginton we could stop the boats tomorrow if we had the guts, and that if the leaders won't, there will be a revolution.
"They are wet". That's the sentence that rings true. A man who put a brigade ashore at San Carlos can see this for what it is.
He also said he would shoot them, and later told the Mail he meant the boats, not the men in them. One blast and they would get the message.
We stand with this man. With the clarity. The boats stop when the government decides they stop or when the people force them to do so. The Navy returns them to the sand they left with any force necessary. The guts he is asking for are what we must both employ and demand.
Listen to him while there is still time.

Major-General Julian Thompson, who commanded 3 Commando Brigade during the Falklands War, on the small boats crisis:
"We could stop them tomorrow if we really had the guts. I'd shot them, sorry but I would."
"We're wet. I think there's going to be a revolution."

Brussels🇧🇪 joined France🇫🇷 in the riots today.
Belgium's two big unions called a strike against the budget cuts. About 30,000 marched. On the side of that many in masks and black clothing joined in, throwing stones, bricks and fireworks, lighting fires on buses. They were met with the water cannon and tear gas.
Police detained 21, thirteen of them minors. The union man told the rioters they were not invited. They came anyway. Students in the French speaking schools say they are following the example from across the border.
France is two weeks into the same picture, only bigger. A quarter of a million out on Tuesday. Schools burned. Paris still calling it outsiders and the unions still calling it a school protest. Neither are the true picture.

⚠️ One invader every six minutes. That's the first week of October.
Thursday, nothing. Then 91. Then 164. Then 418 on Sunday. Monday put 609 men on the hard in eight boats. Tuesday 338. Wednesday 119.
In one week: 1,739 people, 23 boats, about 76 to a hull. Busiest opening week of October since this started in 2018. The old mark was 1,368, in 2024. They just beat that.
Year to Wednesday sits at 20,935 and yet the Home Office will say the word progress before you have finished the sentence. The lull is theatre, a press line. The reality is a coach every time the sea allows.
One of those boats came straight out of Normandy and into Gosport. A Hampshire beach this time, not a Dover slipway, 114 on it. That's the third western run of that kind. The town came out but the boat still landed.
Seventy six to a boat is a gang that has worked out the boat can be bigger, the route can move west, and the reception, either way, is still a coach. They are not testing us, they already have their answer.
Stop this insanity now and send them back. Alternatively, if you claim you can't, then get out of the way and let the public do it.

Exactly. This is not diversity. It's a replacement, street by street. Mosques where the parish church was the landmark. Votes cast as a bloc. A complaint of blasphemy treated more seriously than a complaint from the people who built the town. We were told to call that enrichment, we will not and we have now stopped pretending.
The people have already withdrawn their consent. The decision now is whether the government are willing to act on it, or if they keep going while calling the objection hate.
Either way, we will not live under it. That's the line, and whatever it takes, that line will hold.

"Ethnic minority" she says. 🙄
If everyone in England is English and everyone in Scotland is Scottish, then there is no "ethnic minority". A minority claim needs a majority people to stand against, and that 'people' are the natives of these isles.
We are not living in this mindless illusion any longer. You can't be the minority against a majority that you have just declared does not exist.
So, her ancestry counts. Yours does not. Hers is a protected characteristic and yours is a hate incident if you notice it. No more.
A black England player can be English for ninety minutes because the shirt is civic but the same man is somehow an "ethnic minority" on Monday morning. Neither is allowed to you.
A country can have guests, citizens, and a native people at the same time. The lie being told is that only two of those are real.
Braverman was the honest one. British, of 'Asian' origin, not English. The passport and the people are not the same thing.
This gaslighting and humiliation needs to stop or it will no doubt end in an unfavourable outcome.
