Why Boris Won, Why Comissar Corbyn Lost

It was about Brexit.

And Brexit was about immigration.

And immigration, to quote Steve Bannon:

... is to flood the zone with cheap labour, and the reason is because the elites don’t give a fuck about African Americans and the Hispanic working class. They don’t care about the white working class either. You’re just a commodity.

So they have unlimited labour and they’re paying you nine bucks an hour. ‘Let more guys in and, by the way, it’s bigger markets.’ It destroys the working class. That’s what we’ve got to protect. Once we show working-class people of every ethnicity and race that you being a citizen you get a special deal, you get that realignment."
But why didn't Labour, understand that?

Because the Labour Party, or left, in Britain, like America's Democrats, comprises two groups. There's what the Brits call the working class, what in America is the blue-collar class, and what the Commies call the proletariat. These are the people with the least education, the roughest jobs and the lowest wages.

Then there's the revolutionary thinkers, the intellectuals and the organizers of the revolution, which is to say the Labour Party's Corbynite faction, widely backed by public sector workers, the bureaucrats, teachers, nurses, doctors, university professors, all folks with powerful unions, good salaries, job security, index-linked pensions. These are the "educated" folks with a Clintonite contempt for the deplorables, which is to say the common people who oppose the destruction of their communities by an mass influx of immigrants of alien race, religion and culture.

The Labour Party under Corbyn thus represents not what is understood by the term workers, but mainly a privileged caste of what in the Soviet Union were known as the Nomenclatura. These are a people who benefit from cheap immigrant labor and the off-shoring of jobs, because it slows the rise in the cost of living.

It is also the class that, in the Soviet Union, led to an economic implosion and which, wherever such a class exists, strives mightily to increase its own importance and power by burdening the common people with ever increasing taxes to fund ever more badly managed public interventions in every sphere of life.

Folks in Britain's declining industrial cities realizing what Corbyn and his followers were about, voted accordingly.

TRUDEAU DECLARES BORIS JOHNSON REINCARNATION OF HITLER


Source: Guido Fawkes

To claim that Brexit is "ALT-RIGHT" must make perfectly good sense to a party led by Justin Trudeau, a Communist-loving globalist messiah committed to the view that Canada is a post-national state, which is to say a state that Trudeau rules without a regard for the Canadian nation.

So fuck off all you Canucks. Canada's to be run for the benefit of the world at large, not for you, the Canadian nation, which Trudeau has long ago declared, in his 2015  New York Times interview, to be null and void.

And in that context, Brexit, based on the idea that the Brits should rule themselves, is clearly anathema, which is to say far right-wing, extremist, anti-self-genocidal RAAAACISM.

The European Union: Why Britain Should Never Have Gone In; Why Britain Must Come Out

Against joining: Here is the impassioned Speech (I heard it broadcast live) by the late Hugh Gaitskell,* speaking as party leader at the 1962 Labour Party annual conference:

For Britain’s entry into a Customs Union – such as the Economic Community of Europe – has a double effect. The barriers go down between us and the six countries of Europe. But they go up between us and the Commonwealth. We shall find it easier to sell in the markets of the six, because we shall no longer be faced with tariffs against our goods. How much are they now? Ten to fifteen per cent. But we shall be at a disadvantage in the rest of Europe compared with our position today, because in the European Free Trade Area we now have a tariff advantage over and against the six countries, which we shall lose if we go in. And since it would be rash to assume that the advantages which the Commonwealth countries give us in their markets will be retained by us when we deprive them of the advantages they at present have in ours, we shall also lose in Commonwealth markets for the same reason.

What does all this amount to? In 1961, 16.7 per cent of our exports went to the Common Market countries: 13.1 per cent – not so very far off it – to the rest of Western Europe – the E.F.T.A. countries, and 43 per cent went to the countries of the Commonwealth Preference System. We would gain in markets were we sell less than one-fifth of our exports and lose in markets where we sell about half our exports. This needs to be qualified a little because of the level of the tariffs. But nobody who has even glanced at this problem can really suppose that there is any advantage to be expected from the switch. ...

For leaving: Prime Minister Boris Johnson, speaking today at the Conservative Party annual conference:




———
* Hugh Gaitskell, a right-wing member of the Labour Party, died shortly after this speech, poisoned so he is said to have believed, by the Soviet Secret police. His place was taken by Harold Wilson, a left-wing socialist, said to have been favored by the Soviet Union.

Binning Brexit: A Globalist Coup Against Nation State Democracy and the Sovereignty of the British People


The Remain coalition in the U.K. parliament have become vandals.

They would destroy everything about their government, traditions and what they know to be true outside the halls of Westminster to ensure the dreams of their paymasters are made real.

The fact that they would put forward a bill {Benn Bill} that hands absolute control over future negotiations with the EU to the European Commission is treason. Period.

That they would then hide from a General Election that they know would reverse their coup is an act of vandalism.

It is the height of arrogance for people who first stood on party manifestos to implement Brexit and then demanded a ‘People’s Vote’ to stop it, to simper and use their last remaining bits of power to deny those very people the opportunity to change their representation out of fear of Brexit.

Tom Luongo: Stopping Brexit Is About Saving the European Union

I told you the other day that there was a coup underway by the elites I call The Davos Crowd. It started with the British Supreme Court overturning centuries of the balance of powers and ended with the Democrats in Congress announcing impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

Tom Luongo: It’s a Numbers Game in the Coup to Stop Johnson and Brexit

We were warned from the start that [Britain's] new 'Supreme Court' would be a menace, by people who well understood what was going on.

But as usual nobody did anything to stop it. Britain's slow-motion Left-wing revolution just carried on, rolling over old and trusted rules and institutions, and crushing them into dust.

Last week the court made a swift and cat-like grab for power, its sharp claws flashing as it swiped at Downing Street.

This, unlike so many of the things wrongly said to be 'historic', was a truly huge change in the way we are governed.

Lord Hennessy, the liberals' favourite liberal, exulted that Tuesday was the day when 'the constitution really did shift'.

He argued that 'the architecture of the British constitution will never be the same again' because 'the Supreme Court's reach… now penetrates the most intimate relationship in the British state, that between the head of government, the prime minister, and the head of state, Her Majesty the Queen.'

Lord Sumption, perhaps the cleverest lawyer in the country, said the decision was 'revolutionary'. He is right.


And Here's the Movie: How Britain Will Leave the EU:

The Face of Modern Britain, or What Happens to the Indigenous People When You Open the Gates



These are all good people.

Well maybe.

But they're not indigenous Brits. They're not even of European origin, but they, with others like them, now make up a large portion of Britain's ruling elite.

What Brexit Is About: Democratic Nation State or Satrapy of a Bureaucratic Empire

Boris Johnson: Making Britain Great Again

Boris Johnson, the first British Prime Minister since Margaret Thatcher with a gift for leadership, in Northern England, the heartland of the industrial revolution, to launch his campaign for the revitalization of the UK.

But not the bunch of Britain's past dud PM's, Major, Blair, Cameroon, and May,* all failing to heed Boris Johnson's sound advice that "the main function of a past Prime Minister is to remain silent."

Instead, this congery of slithering losers, is baying for a second Brexit referendum, the one that Cameron called with the deepest cynicism in the assumption that the leavers would be defeated, and which May failed to kick into the long grass despite repeated and agonizingly feeble efforts, having gone the wrong damn way.

The Brexit Struggle Made Clear

Rob Slane, over at the Blogmire, clears up any question you may have had about the state of play in the Brexit struggle, deploying a didactic method reminiscent of the way an Englishman might explain cricket to a foreigner.

There are a number of parties. One of them wants to take us out, but there are some within that party that didn’t want to take us out, so they were kicked out by the man who just came in. In order to get us out, the man who just came in tried to get himself out, so that he could then get back in, in order to take us out. But he was thwarted by the other parties, who despite wanting him out, kept him in because they fear that if he gets out, he will then get back in and will then take us out. But if they can keep him in long enough, and prevent him from taking us out, they figure that soon after he has failed to take us out, they will be able to get him out and get themselves in. And then after he gets out and they get in, they may try to take us out or they may try to keep us in. It’s anyone’s guess. Then again, it’s entirely possible that if they do get in, they might try to get us out, then campaign against their deal for taking us out to try and keep us in. It really is that simple...
And if you find that cryptic, you can read the full source article which makes all crystal clear.

And for those in need of further clarification, France's Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, has just stated that delay to Brexit "isn't possible" under current conditions, a view agreed by EU Chief, Guy Verhofstadt, who said delay was "unacceptable"  unless the deadlock in the UK Parliament is resolved.

Why the EU Won't Negotiate a Reasonable Brexit Deal

The EU won't negotiate a reasonable Brexit deal with the UK because it does not want a reasonable Brexit deal with the UK.

The EU wants no Brexit deal at all.

Rather, the EU wants the fall of Britain's Brexit-bound Johnson Government and its replacement by a Lib-Lab-Green-Marxist-Whatever Remain Government for the greater provision of cushy Euro-bureaucratic jobs and other payoffs to Europhiliac politicians and bureaucrats.

Trouble for the EU is that blocking a reasonable Brexit deal validates Boris Johnson's claim to represent the Britain's national interest in a conflict with the knavish tricks of the imperialistic European Union.

It's a case of heads the UK wins, tails the EU loses.

Eight Reasons the EU Will Suffer Far More Than UK in Brexit

By Mike Shedlock

The EU would be wise to make a deal with the UK. It will get clobbered in the event of no deal.
Mishtalk, August 8, 2019:  Conventional wisdom says the UK will get hit harder than the EU in the event of a no deal Brexit. Conventional wisdom is wrong.
Here are eight reasons the EU will suffer more in both the short and long term.

1: Corporate Taxes
The UK can and likely will slash corporate tax rates. A lower corporate tax rate will mitigate much of the profit damage suffered by UK corporations in the event of no deal.
Note that one of the EU's biggest complaints against Ireland now is the "unfair" corporate tax structure of Ireland.

2: Currency Fluctuations
A falling currency is good for exporters and bad for importers. The British Pound has been falling in anticipation of Brexit.


3: Balance of Trade
In the event of no deal, WTO tariffs kick unless the EU offers to work out a trade deal. Under WTO rules, the EU could do that and rules allow a lengthy 10 years to get it done. The EU should agree to do that, but with animosity rising, it probably won't.
In a rising tariff setup, exporters will suffer far more than importers. Germany has an enormous trade surplus with the UK.


Angela Merkel is very concerned about German exports as well she should be.
Throw in the increasing chance of Trump putting tariffs on German cars and the EU will get crucified. A very severe German recession is in the cards and the EU faces a double whammy of Brexit plus Trump.
Note that a falling currency will mitigate some of the Tariff damage on UK exporters while compounding the problems for the EU.

4: Fishing Rights
In Brexit, the UK halts all EU fishing rights. EU fishermen will get clobbered.

5: Trade Deals
The UK will be able to make its own trade deals and set tariffs how it pleases.

6: Rules and Regulations
The UK will finally be free of inane EU rules and regulations on basically everything but especially agriculture.

7: Brexit Fees and Pay to Play Fee
Some dispute this, but the UK can halt the Brexit breakup fee. Boris Johnson has threatened to do that. Regardless, the UK will stop paying into the EU coffers even it does pay the breakup bill. The EU has budgeted for UK payments. When the UK stops paying, the EU will have to raise taxes to cover the difference.

8: Long Term Consequences
Both the EU and UK will suffer in the event of no deal but the long-term consequences strongly favor of the UK.

Why Thereason May Failed

Guido Fawkes reports:

They’ve only been out of government a week and already Philip Hammond and Gavin Barwell have been spied ramping up the plotting against the new Prime Minister. The pair were spotted out with their wives at the Wolseley last night. Guido’s mole in the room says there was extensive discussion both about thwarting Boris and revoking Article 50.

Hammond has even been alienating committed Remainers with his ultra-hardline approach in recent weeks, purging anti-No Deal Tory WhatsApp groups of Remainers who dared to publicly back Boris. The fact that Theresa May’s most senior Cabinet Minister and Chief of Staff are busy scheming against Boris and Brexit just a week after leaving office speaks volumes about why May failed to deliver…

The Plague of Democracy: The Yellow Vest Outbreak in France

Democracy is a charade imposed by the elite upon a docile people to keep them docile. It was never intended that the stinking proletariat should actually decide anything. But universal education and a rising standard of living, both prerequisites of a tech-based industrial economy, have changed all that. Thus, as we observed of Britain:

... by the end of the 20th Century, something like half of all school leavers were entering post-secondary education, mostly graduating with at least a bachelor's degree, and often a master's or doctoral degree too. This combined with the ease with which the Internet has made it possible for anyone to disseminate their political opinions widely and to challenge the political narratives of the mainstream media has resulted in the emergence of a threat of genuinely popular democracy.

For the first time, the people have opinions on, and interests in, almost every aspect of public policy and moreover they were beginning loudly to demand that their voices be heard and their interests be served.
Moreover, due to increased prosperity, the proles are well fed if not overfed and thus match the elite classes in stature, health, and appearance. They even smell no different, and indeed, hardly smell at all.

In Britain the resultant outbreak of democracy has led in recent months to the collapse of Theresa May's Prime Ministerial credibility and the fragmentation not only her government, but of the governing Tory Party. As the Daily Mail relates:

Desperate Theresa May will plead for MPs to back her Brexit Bill in a crucial speech tonight - as her hopes of success fade.

The PM will make the case for her 'bold' package in a speech in Westminster this afternoon, urging politicians to get on board with her plan.

However, MailOnline understands that chief whip Julian Smith warned the PM that she is staring down the barrel of defeat.
Meantime, across the Chanel, France's traditionally stupendously arrogant elite are faced with outrageous public contempt from the pestilential and never relenting Yellow Vests, who, it is reported:

...have already succeeded in shattering the capitalist myth of “representative democracy” in the age of neo-liberalism. Their uprising has unmasked the lies and violence of republican government, as well as the duplicity of representative institutions like political parties, bureaucratic unions and the mainstream media.
Moreover:

...the Yellow Vests represent the first time in history that a spontaneous, self-organized social movement has ever held out for half a year in spite of repression while retaining its autonomy, resisting cooptation, bureaucratization and sectarian splits. All the while, standing up to full-scale government repression and targeted propaganda, it poses a real, human alternative to the dehumanization of society under the rule of the capitalist “market.”

Britain Threatened By an Outbreak of Democracy

Mass democracy is, and always has been, a charade. It emerged, first, in Britain during the 19th century when, to appease a rapidly growing population of sometimes mutinous workers, the governing elite, both Whig and Tory factions, extended the franchise to an ever increasing proportion of the population.

Initially, with the Reform Act of 1832, the vote was extended to householders who paid a yearly rental of £10. The franchise was then repeatedly further expanded and in 1918, under the Representation of the People Act, it was granted to all adult males, and finally, in 1928, to all women.

During the 19th Century, the extension of the franchise had little impact on the composition of the government, as those newly enfranchised mostly voted deferentially for the aristocrats and their nominees who, in office, ran the country in accordance with the interests of the aristocratic and business elite. Reforms such as those limiting working hours and the employment of children, and providing for universal state-funded elementary education (1870)  were seen as beneficial both by the working masses and the more liberal elements among the elite.

Trouble arose, however, from the legalization of trades unions in 1871, as became apparent in the run-up to World War 1 when unions in rail transport and coal mining created an effective labor monopoly that threatened to plunge Britain into civil war. The conflict was postponed, however, by the outbreak of war with Germany, only to be resumed with the inconclusive General Strike of 1926. Thereafter, the conflict continued to undermine British industrial productivity until resolved decisively in favor of the employers by Margaret Thatcher in her war on striking coal miners (1984/85).

Generally, however, throughout the 20th century, the people remained deferential to the ruling class, a class that could claim to be vastly better educated that the common folk and therefore the only class fit to rule. Moreover, the mass media, controlled by millionaire press barons, or in the case of the BBC, the government, provided the public with political narratives that were generally in keeping with the policies of the establishment parties.

But by the end of the 20th Century, something like half of all school leavers were entering post-secondary education, mostly graduating with at least a bachelor's degree, and often a master's or doctoral degree too. This combined with the ease with which the Internet has made it possible for anyone to disseminate their political opinions widely and to challenge the political narratives of the mainstream media has resulted in the emergence of a threat of genuinely popular democracy.

For the first time, the people have opinions on, and interests in, almost every aspect of public policy and loudly demand that their voices be heard and their interests be served. Democratically elected rulers are thus confronted at last by the expectation that they act in accordance with the will of the people. This unprecedented situation has driven the elite to the manipulation, distortion, suppression and outright manufacture of news on a wholly unprecedented scale. Hence 9/11, Saddam's WMD's, "I'll build a wall," and all manner of other lies and hoaxes many of which are incorporated into school books, university texts and Hollywood blockbusters.

How this struggle will work out remains to be seen. But one angle that the elites are evidently determined to pursue is the genocide of the Western nations by a combination of reproductive suppression and mass replacement immigration. In this way, any silly notions about freedom, the rights of man, the rule of law and all that old fashioned crap that brought us to the present pass will be wiped from the minds of men. In their place will be the acceptance of tyranny, corruption and extremes of wealth and poverty such as is the normal experience of those migrating from the Third World to the First.

In the meantime, UK Prime Minister, Thereason May, continues the brave struggle on behalf of the globalist plutocracy to strangle the will of the people on Brexit while what has at least the appearance of  left–right collusion among supposed anti-Brexiteers keeps hope alive among those yearning to be free of the EU's globalist clutches.

Brits Want Out

Source: Daily Mail

The only majorities for Remain are in Scotland, a large but barren country with fewer people than the English county of Yorkshire, and the nation's capital London, aka Londonistan, where the immigrant occupation naturally want the EU to continue to hold the gate open to an endless stream of additional immigrants of their own kith and kin.

And in the same survey of 2,000, voters almost half want the traitor, Thereason May, out too.

Here's the Ex-Jailbird, Fiona Onasanya, Whose Vote Blocked Brexit

Here's the person, ex jailbird, Fiona Onasanya, MP whose vote condemns the British people to be chained indefinitely to the EU, the anti-democratic globalist scam which was sold to the Brits by the late perv, Edward Heath, as a trade block, not the anti-democratic open door to mass immigration and the economic failure that it has turned out to be.

As the Daily Mail reports: 

Onasanya walked through the voting lobby wearing the electronic ankle tag with which she was fitted after being released early from HMP Bronzefield in Surrey.

Her participation ensured that the Bill to change the law so that Britain can’t leave the EU without a ‘deal’ passed by the narrowest of margins, 313 to 312.Onasanya, MP for Peterborough, served just 28 days of a three-month sentence for perverting the course of justice, after repeatedly lying to police to avoid a speeding fine.

If she had been forced to complete her full term she would still have been in prison and, therefore, unable to vote.

Most Brits probably think that Ms Onasanya should go back to her tribal homeland and let the British tribes rule themselves. Ms. Onasanya most likely thinks that the Brits should just die off to make way for more immigrant, the genocidal policy of EU leaders such as the Micron and Merkel.

Thereason May's Brexit Betrayal in Headlines

Brexit Desperation Rises As The Betrayal Deepens

PM May to Join Left Against Her Own Party?

"It’s getting like the bit in Harry Potter where Voldermort’s soul breaks apart. She is now tearing apart the soul of the party. She has split the soul into a Labour horcrux*."

* For the benefit of those unfamiliar with the term "horcrux," it is:
... an object in which a Dark wizard or witch has hidden a fragment of his or her soul for the purpose of attaining immortality.[1]Horcruxes can only be created after committing murder, the supreme act of evil. The process for the creation of a Horcrux involves a spelland a horrific act is performed after the murder has been committed. There are usually protective measures made to prevent a Horcrux from being stolen and destroyed, such as Counter-Charms and Jinxes. The Horcrux is considered the most terrible of all Dark magic.

Sounds about right, given that our existing elite seem to assume that if they manage to accumulate enough money they will be able to purchase immortality.
This Will be Theresa May's Appalling Legacy:
By Patrick Cockburn:

Unz Review, April 3, 2019: A German general once explained that he divided officers looking for promotion into four categories: the clever and lazy, the clever and industrious, the stupid and lazy and the stupid and industrious.

He said that the clever and lazy should be appointed to senior leadership positions because they could take important decisions without trying to interfere with the work of others. The clever and industrious should be made their deputies. The stupid and lazy should be sent to the front line, but the stupid and industrious should be pushed out of the army immediately of at once because they are a danger to everyone.

Theresa May surely belongs to the fourth category of leader, because as prime minister she has shown that she has a lethal blend of tunnel vision and obstinacy that automatically produces ill-judged decisions.
It seems simpler to assume that Theresa May is simply a stooge of the New World Order,i.e., the Money Power, a traitor, in fact, who is doing a good job shafting the the British people and confirming that parliamentary democracy is a fraud.

Brexit deadlock shows 'democracy all but dead' - Donald Trump Jr.
Democracy in the land of the Mother of Parliaments has been dead a long time. Ever since the central party organizations dictated to the constituencies who was fit to run for parliament. The result, obviously, was the reversal of roles for MPs. Instead of representing the people to the Government, they came to represent the Government to the people. And at no time has this been better illustrated than the present when most voters in Conservative constituencies voted for Brexit, but most Conservative MPs are Remainers.

Meantime, the leaders of the EU seem in a hurry to get Britain out of the EU now, for fear the Breixteers will otherwise hang in there for ever and ever:

No new Brexit negotiations, no additional guarantees, Juncker says before summit

With just nine days to go before the March 29 exit date, uncertainty surrounds Brexit with options including leaving with British Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal, a short or longer delay, a disruptive exit or another referendum.“There will be no re-negotiations, no new negotiations, no additional guarantees in addition to those already given,”Juncker told Germany’s Deutschlandfunk radio.

Now watching innocent and defenseless people being murdered is not something any normal person wishes to view as matter of entertainment, but that no one is to observe a video record of the crime strongly suggests that the crime was not as publicly reported.

Feminism and the death of the West:

During my junior year in high school, the nuns asked about our plans for after we graduated. When I said I was going to attend State University, I noticed their disappointment. I asked my favorite nun, “Why?” She answered, “That means you’ll leave four years later a communist and an atheist!”

What a giggle we girls had over that. “How ridiculously unsophisticated these nuns are,” we thought. Then I went to the university and four years later walked out a communist and an atheist, just as my sister Katie had six years before me.
