[Ian Neasham (Bolton, Restore Britain) @RestoreBolton]

If you are still considering voting for Reform because you believe they are the only viable option capable of defeating Labour, the Greens, or any other party of the left, I would urge you to think again.

I fully supported Reform prior to the 2024 General Election and continued to do so until the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. However, the party I once backed is no longer the party it presented itself as. What began as a promising movement on the right has steadily drifted towards the political centre, embracing many of the very individuals and ideas that contributed to the problems we face today.

Its ranks now include former Conservatives who oversaw policies many on the right strongly opposed, from record levels of immigration to support for measures that expanded state control and restricted freedoms. We have witnessed failed politicians from Labour, the Liberal Democrats, and the Conservatives crossing the floor to Reform, not because they have undergone a political awakening, but because they recognise where they believe their careers may be salvaged.

Politics is full of people who speak of principles when it is convenient, only to abandon them when ambition calls. While I believe in redemption on a personal level, politics has repeatedly shown that career politicians rarely change their fundamental nature. Their priority is often preserving their position, protecting their influence, and advancing their careers. They are not sacrificing for you or me; they are safeguarding themselves. Robert Jenrick, Suella Braverman, Nadine Dorries, Nadhim Zahawi, I could go one. If you don't believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.

Make no mistake: they are in politics for their own interests, not yours.

As we approach the next General Election, many believe Britain stands at a critical crossroads. For those who feel the country is heading in the wrong direction, the question is whether genuine change can be delivered through the established political class, or whether a completely different approach is required.

That is why I support @RestoreBritain. Not because it is politically convenient, but because I believe it offers a genuine alternative to the cycle of disappointment that has characterised British politics for decades. If Reform, Labour, the Conservatives, and the Greens all represent variations of the same political establishment, then voting for any of them will produce more of the same outcomes.

Ultimately, the choice belongs to you. Do you place your trust in politicians who adapt their message to whichever way the political wind is blowing like Farage, or in leaders who remain consistent, regardless of popularity or pressure like @rupertlowe_10 ?

I could choose not to involve myself. Like Richard Tice said, he doesn't care, he said "Well, I'll be long gone by then". At my stage of life, the long-term consequences of today’s decisions may affect me less than they will affect future generations. But that is precisely why I speak out. This is not about me. It is about my children, my grandchildren, and everyone who wants to leave behind a stronger, safer, and more prosperous country than the one we have inherited.

Whatever decision you make, make it carefully. The future of Britain will be shaped by the choices we make today.

@RestoreBolton Great comment, superbly articulated
And - TRUE

[Freyja1 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇸🇯🇩🇪🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @FreyjaBakke]

THIS IS JUDGE EUGENE EGAN

He has allowed the ex BBC producer Dylan Dawes to walk from his court on a suspended sence despite having more than 6,000 indecent images of children on his devices.

Meanwhile people are walking into courts and getting jailed for social media posts!

SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE!!

🚨 This is exactly what our grandparents talked about if we allowed uncontrolled migration into our countries.

This was the scene in stoke on Trent as groups of muslims armed with bats swords and axes and the police did nothing but watch..

@Cal_III Trouble is they’ll all be in HMO’s somewhere in our country and still presenting the same problems elsewhere for British people
They should never have been allowed to stay in the first place if our government, like many others, had the stones to uphold international law

[Richard Spurlock @spu46264]

@BaxterAntony @BearsBeyondGate My fear is certainly SL is happy to finish 8,9 or even 10th now we have a franchise with no relegation - he has said as much
Not what we were promised or what anyone who has ever played wants or will accept

[Richard Spurlock @spu46264]

@dsomerville8 @BearsBeyondGate 2/2 I can see, and wouldn’t blame some of these players for going elsewhere if they never get a chance
Ala Joe Jenkins as the latest, there’s been a few under PL so called leadership and I fear many more- for varying reasons
PL has failed dramatically imo

[Richard Spurlock @spu46264]

@dsomerville8 @BearsBeyondGate 1/2 Made all the more galling when you see the same players overplayed and in alien positions, then when finally forced to play some of the up and coming/ academy - how good they are and will clearly be

[Richard Spurlock @spu46264]

@dsomerville8 @BearsBeyondGate Agree fully, well said

[Torsten Prochnow @TorstenProchnow]

Authoritarian politicians and obedient police commanders may pretend that flooding the streets with heavily armed riot units, armoured vehicles and water cannons will crush the protests and solve the underlying national problems that caused the unrest.

They will not.

And they know it.

Their real objective is not to address the root causes of the massive unrest now spreading across the United Kingdom. Their true intention is to crush dissent, suppress criticism, intimidate citizens and render the population voiceless.

This approach will not end the protests. It will accelerate them.

Every display of state force against its own citizens produces a counter-reaction of equal or greater strength. Every baton, every water cannon and every armoured vehicle sends the same message: the state has run out of arguments and now rules by brute force alone.

History is clear. Sustained coercion against large numbers of people does not resolve a political crisis. It deepens it, radicalises it and, if the pressure continues, can push events beyond anyone’s control.

Major political changes in Europe and the United States have rarely been delivered by polite agreements reached around negotiating tables. More often, they have emerged from pressure on the streets, from open confrontation, from bloody battlefields and from moments when the ruling class could no longer ignore the bitter reality in front of them.

If establishment parties continue to treat the protesters as the problem while refusing to confront the real causes, above all the brutal consequences of mass immigration, imported violence, two-tier policing, censorship and collapsing public order, then any prospect of peaceful resolution shrinks rapidly.

The best outcome would still be change at the ballot box through new elections and a clear political reversal. Yet in Britain, France and Germany, the ruling classes are already delaying, blocking or preparing to obstruct that route.

Labour refuses to call new elections in the United Kingdom. In France, legal manoeuvres and institutional tricks are used to delay the will of the voters. In Germany, the Federal President might refuse to dissolve the Bundestag in order to preserve the status quo. Similar tactics are already appearing in other countries, all following the same establishment playbook.

When electoral change is blocked through authoritarian procedural tricks, the pressure on the streets grows instead.

What begins with thousands can become tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands and eventually millions. Against thousands, and perhaps even tens of thousands, the state may still believe it can prevail with riot police, batons, armoured vehicles and water cannons.

But once those numbers reach hundreds of thousands or millions, no police force, and not even the military, can maintain control indefinitely through physical force alone. At that scale, the rulers will no longer be able to govern against the people. They will be forced to listen to vox populi.

That is when the real turning point arrives.

Some police and military units, especially those led by commanders who still have a conscience, will eventually have to decide whether they are protecting the public or protecting a failing regime.

Some will refuse to strike their own population. Some will refuse to march against their own brothers and sisters. Some will refuse to be used against the very people they swore to protect.

And when those units stand down, listen to their conscience and side with the people rather than the regime, the system will lose its ability to enforce its will.

Belfast may prove to be the first major domino in this sequence. The people there have shown before that they will not be subdued easily, and history records that Northern Ireland has forced political realities upon London before.

If Belfast does not break, other cities across the United Kingdom could follow. From there, the pressure can spill onto the European mainland. What starts in one place can spread like wildfire through France, Germany and beyond, forcing the political changes that the current ruling classes have so far refused to deliver through normal democratic means.

Belfast has been tested before.

It was not broken then.

It will not be broken now.

@BearsBeyondGate Thanks lads
Love the pod
Will always listen
Sometimes wish you weren’t so soft on our failings

I’ll remember your words this weekend when I’m in Brixham and Paignton Rugby Clubs being lambasted…..

[𝑮𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𓍢ִ໋♡ @CopperCation]

Our politicians and police say two-tier justice doesn't exist. Oh really? ⬇️

The man on the left, Afsar Safi, a migrant from Afghanistan aged 30, kidnapped a 7 yr old girl and sexually assaulted her. He got 2.5 years in prison and is expected to be out on licence after having served just 6 months.

The man on the right, Reece Robinson, a British man aged 21, has just been fast tracked through the courts for throwing stones at the Southampton protests. He got 2 years.

How is this even remotely acceptable?

We are being gaslit beyond belief.

[Richard Spurlock @spu46264]

@BearsBeyondGate Not be afraid to ask SL where the ambition is
There are owners with far less wealth spending considerably more £ with smaller support, resources, potential and history
Everything they (PL,SL) said 5/6 years ago has not happened and never mentioned
As for TT comments - no words

[Richard Spurlock @spu46264]

@BearsBeyondGate We need
A proper 10 to support AJ and SW
A proper 7
Loosehead prop
Lock - as close to Rubiolo as we can
PL to rotate players, rather than over playing some and positional madness
PL to be held to account - where is what we were promised (constantly) seasons ago?

[Richard Spurlock @spu46264]

@Andypublicuk Good on ya

[Richard Spurlock @spu46264]

@Wommando And still they deny two tier policing exists

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I want people finally held to account for what has been done to our country.

Civil servants, judges, politicians.

If they have knowingly placed unvetted dangerous third world savages in our communities, near our children, then a Restore Britain Government will aim to prosecute them.

If that includes Reform’s Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman, then so be it.

When they held the power - they welcomed that Sudanese monster into our country and handed him a visa. An attempted beheading followed their decision.

Those responsible must be held to account.

And I want to send a very clear message to officials planning to place more of these men in communities across Britain - near schools, nurseries, families.

When Restore Britain wins the next election, we will pursue you with the full power of the state.

That will apply retrospectively.

If those in power are made to feel the consequences of their decisions, the quality of those decisions will improve.

We are so far past half-measures now, the country is too far gone.

Britain needs a democratic revolution.

That is exactly what Restore Britain is going to do.
