@Sargon_of_Akkad Ask a white Irish person living in England for 20 years if they’re English. As they seethe remind them they’re white, so they can even be racistly English. They’ll tell you they’re Irish and they’ll always be Irish, because no one is actually confused about who they are.

But we can never allow women to run wild like this again. Mass migration and feminism are destroying the American judicial system. It turns out, only white men of 130+ IQ care about fairness, equality under the law, moral hazard, individual legal protections. Everyone else just wants to win based on short-term expedience, they don't care about ethics.

Britain is heading for national bankruptcy. The national debt is over £3000bn, up almost 10 fold in a generation.

In August alone the Government borrowed a further £18.3bn, the worst August figure since COVID, despite record tax rises.

The money raised from taxation is going into a black hole for little or no benefit to British people.

In fact, we are now largely funding the third world invasion of our shores. It is bent beyond belief.

The Government is accumulating £130bn of new debt each year and we are spending over £120bn each year just to service this debt. That is about twice the defence budget, wasted.

A millstone around the young’s necks for past profligacy.

It shames my generation.

Since Labour won in July 2024 they have continued feathering the public sector’s nest.

Public sector pay has risen 12.8% since July 2024 compared with private sector increases of 7.8% while inflation is up 7.3%.

Public sector worker headline pays now £757 per week against £739 for the private sector. The real gap is far higher due to far more generous pensions, generally longer holidays, higher public sector absentee rates and a job for life culture.

This might be fine if the productivity of the public sector was credible.

It is not. Obviously.

More if we look at employment growth since January 2000 the public sector has taken on a staggering 1,137,000 extra workers while the private sector has been stagnant putting on a mere 231,000 jobs.

When one considers the UK population was estimated at 67.1 million in 2020 against 69.3 million today the private sector is in clear and obvious recession.

This recession is entirely the Government’s fault by engineering very high energy prices while increasing tax and regulation.

A recipe for disaster, to say the very least.

For this extra million plus workers in the public sector one might have expected fantastic service.

Do you believe that’s the case? I certainly don’t.

ONS data suggests shows that public sector productivity has risen a whopping 1.8% since 1997.

1997 is the very dawn of the internet, pre AI and digital technology - this is a staggeringly inept performance and lags UK economy wide productivity gains averaging 32%.

If one excludes debt interest payments and welfare payments HMG spends c£850bn.

A 31% productivity gap since equates to c£230bn of lost opportunity.

The mystery of the UK’s abysmal economic performance is no mystery at all. It comes down clearly and simply as a result of the private sector being crushed and crowded out under the weight of gross public sector inefficiency.

I detest it.

A generation ago Britain was split roughly two thirds private and one third public, today it is close to 50-50.

Through massive regulation, high taxation, welfarism and excess debt we have swapped a productive private sector led economy for an incompetent and failing public sector one.

Britain spends £45,000 for every family in the land on a public sector which is clearly not fit for purpose.

The radical change needed to restore Britain is possibly more than the average voter will accept.

But it’s the only way, and Restore Britain will continue to make that difficult argument.

I am hopeful that voters will appreciate the honesty for a change.

Because many, many, many awful decisions lay ahead.

They need to be taken.

WHAT IS ‘BUZZBALL-ISM’?

The political ascendency of Andy Burnham has somehow seen a small revival of the Labour Party’s fortunes, in part perhaps because of their embrace of ‘Buzzball-ism’ - that is, ‘Politics presenting as ‘Non-Politics’ with The Aesthetic Sensibilities of a 19-Year Old Woman Characteristics.’ What do I mean by this? For instance, a good example of ‘Buzzball-ism’ in action is the way in which under Andy Labour’s ‘social media game’ - influenced by content produced by pro-left 19-year old women - has noticeably improved. Sorry to say but I think at least ‘some’ of it is ‘good’

‘Good’ how? Good in the sense that new videos are generally now ‘on top’ of popular TikTok trends, not appreciably ‘downstream’. They are ‘Neo-tumblrist’, ‘sassy in a way 19-year old women would like’, sometimes they are even funny - and often embodying a disposition best expressed in late Gen Z female slang like ‘in my X era’ ‘’besties’ oomfies’ ‘he/she ate’ ‘im literally screaminggg’ etc

If you want to ‘beat the chuds’ you don’t get angry at them and write seething essays about why they’re evil - you just act as if you are self-evidently ‘cooler’, as if you’re so ‘cool’ that you are not even doing politics. ‘Non-Politics’ is your politics, the chuds are doing politics but you are above politics and so apolitical. You just want ‘nice things.’ Of course it helps if you actually are ‘cooler’. 19-year old women - obviously the ultimate arbitrators of what is ‘normal’ and ‘cool’. I am joking but also I am not. Society wide at a trendsetting level 19-year old women are fairly ‘upstream’

Why ‘Buzzball-ism’? A ‘Buzzball’ is a ‘ready-to-drink cocktail sold in brightly coloured spherical plastic containers’ that has recently become popular among a younger cohort, especially among the kinds of (in many cases) women who are proponents of ‘Burnhamite’ politics. At Andy Burnham’s inaugural events Andy was photographed signing Buzzballs for these younger female influencers that his team had apparently invited. Presumably someone had seen their growing popularity online and recognised that they ‘needed some of that’

In June 2026 I suggested that the ‘Winning Aesthetic’ for Andy Burnham’s Labour is ‘The North with Oasis Characteristics’ + ‘Pink Pantheress Britain’ since this is rhetorically ‘Lovely’ enough to ‘have a shot’ at holding off populism. For better or worse so far this is what Andy has essentially done, excepting that he has also had the incredible foresight to include an extra third element - the embrace of the aesthetic preferences of late Gen Z women. Imagine if the Government’s entire comms strategy was co-opted by 19-year old women. Under Andy Burnham’s ‘Buzzball-ist’ Government this is ‘basically’ what has happened!

Of note - ‘Buzzball-ism’ as a phenomenon is ‘sort of’ similar to the Kamala ‘Brat’ phenomenon in the 2024 US election, especially where the Harris campaign depicted itself as the cool kids just practicing apolitical common sense and Trump and Vance as ‘weird’. Would qualify that in the British case you have the sense that their version of this kind of approach isn’t quite as cynically-motivated, many advocates give the impression that they do genuinely believe they’re not even doing politics (if they even have much of a grasp on politics and political history to begin with - probably most don’t and their understandings are generally more ‘vibes-based’). There is presumed ‘Non-Politics’ as political praxis ergo it is ‘weird’ to even challenge it

“We’ve made a video where Andy Burnham ‘served’ singing ‘The Smiths’ on stage at a party event. Disagree with his tax or immigration policies? Did you not see the video? We are not even doing politics. You are ‘weird’ for disagreeing. Why are you attacking us? Maybe you’re a pervert. Cheer up lil bro. Maybe you’re even a paedophile.” There is just the bringing of ‘Good Vibesss’, the consideration of politics as politics proper falls by the wayside. Welcome to ‘Buzzball Britain’

@BretWeinstein What are the grounds for scepticism in the Tyler Robinson case? The evidence is fulsome and the motive is clear and fits a pattern of activist trans violence we’ve all seen in the last few years. Is the suspicion grounded by the evidence being ‘too perfect’?

[Sam @BillyJBurns]

@BretWeinstein If the theory of the Kirk case is that Tyler Robison was an Israel plant or Manchurian candidate, no one has presented any way of linking him to intelligence or military operatives. Nor has he claimed any such connection or manipulation.

@AidanSimardone You used to complain we wanted Africans so much we brought them here in chains. There’s no pleasing some people.

@IanCarrollShow @SarahisCensored It is extremely rare for a murder case to have this much evidence, and that has been clear from the outset. You should admit that your instincts have been deranged by being terminally online, renounce this idiocy and seek redemption.
