I will never understand how being anti illegal immigration is bigoted.

[@Rampart.X]

It's not. The word 'bigot' is misused and abused.

[@chucklebouf5379]

It is in an extremely pedantic definition of the term since you're being picky. But no, it's 'bigoted' because of an insane conflation that all immigration is illegal immigration which itself is far more racist than anything the average anti-immigrant voter says or thinks. Although plenty of them also want legal immigration highly curbed, which they should, that's a separate issue when you've got unchecked illegal immigration happening that obviously needs to stop first.

[@hermit1255]

It's not but the left will use any avenue to vilify their opponents argument.

[@Reclaimer_-_117]

Its easy. You understand it's an invasion being facilitated by our own politicians who are profiting from it, and that they are just trying to smear the people pointing it out. We're in a civil war of words. We speak the truth that we experience, politicians, journalists and public figures that are on the invading side fire back with slander to keep the invasion progressing. And to anyone who wants to try arguing it isn't an invasion, think about this... When in history has this number of people violated the borders of a sovereign nation and raped and pillaged said nation? Because that's what's happening right now. Our women and children are no longer safe, and these people are draining the funds of our public institutions like the NHS. Which the taxpayer funds. So they are plundering us, but just in an indirect way. Why? Because the globalists have a real hard on for their one world government, or should I say dictatorship. They've been destabilising the non western world for decades via war in preparation for it. But they can't use war to destabilise the west. First they would have to weaken us to the point that such a method was viable. So they flood us with non military invaders. Having their puppets in the target nations governments facilitating it for them. Then once we are destabilised and the whole world is going to shit, they come along with a solution to the world's problems. A kind, benevolent global government to unite us all and have us all work together towards a common goal, to overcome the same issues we face all over the world (that they created for this reason.) And anyone that gets in their way and resists? They can't just drone strike them like they could in the Middle East. So in the west, they smear them, and make it look unacceptable to hold those views. "Racist." "Sexist." "Bigot." "Facist." All specifically chosen words because the west is opposed to these concepts. So to label a dissenter one of those things naturally turns western societies against them.

The description of Left Wing operation as 'two steps forward, one step back' is entirely accurate, that is how they operate. Push something as far forward as they can until pushback becomes too great then retreat a little to appear to not go too far then prepare for the next push. However, I will agree that not every time the Left retreats means that it's this principle in operation, sometimes they do just take an L. What you have to be ready for is the next push and where it's coming from. It's damn near a Motte and Bailey in and of itself.

There were no winners in this election. No party in Britain right now has a serious plan for fixing Britain's long-term economic and fiscal issues. Reform did well relative to its previous performance, but even with it filling a gap in the political market in the UK, overall voter turnout was still disturbingly low. That so many voters are staying home with parties covering a wide span of the political spectrum (Greens, LibDems, Reform) should be a sign that voters don't trust any party to offer a real way forward. A lot of Britain's issues come down to myopic politicians who are too afraid to enact needed reforms that pay off in the long term, rather than by the next election cycle. It may take a Greece moment for Britain to realize that its current way of doing politics is not sustainable. The current right/left issues are what politicians focus on, because they are much more visible and easier to make progress on than addressing Britain's long-term stagnation.

[@Patson20]

It is interesting to hear you comment on the UK election and British politics for a change. Your analysis is far more nuanced than most foreigners, whose takeaway seems to be "UK voters love Labour and their policies, because they won" and leave it at that. I don't see Labour catering to or listening to Reform voters any more now that they are in power than they did before. Accusations of racism in the UK have been far more effective at silencing people than they have in the US, coupled with strict "hate speech" laws, and I think Labour believe they can wield that cudgel once again to drum out Reform and silence their critics. But I don't think they recognise how numb the public is becoming to such accusations these days. I think it is going to lose its rhetorical power, even if the laws become more robust, and they may find that the static base that got them in this time will disappear for the next election, as the problems become so apparent even Labour voters could recognise them.

The fact is immigration has been on the rise ever since Tony Blair was elected in 1997. Blairism has been a factor in UK politics ever since. The only difference between Labour and Conservative now is how fast changes are pushed through. The Conservatives are seen as Labour driving the speed limit. The main reasons for people voting for Brexit was to regain our sovereignty and control our borders. However, we are still subject to the ECHR and European laws that have already been passed. We have seen net migration from countries outside of Europe increase. The government is spending £8 billion per year housing illegal migrants in hotels. Seventy percent of social housing in London is occupied by foreign nationals. There's a reason why people voted for reform.

Accepting that this is very much through a Dev lens, he didn't do a bad job. I would argue that unless he can present evidence to the contrary, Reform did not take away many Tory votes, rather what it did was give the disaffected Tories someone to vote for rather than spoil their ballots. As a Corbynite, I too was going to spoil my ballot until Nigel stepped into the ring, because I strongly believe that uni-party UK politics is in need of a disruptor like the Donald. Corbyn was a left wing Trump, Nigel is his right wing version, but the terms left and right are becoming increasingly anachronistic in UK politics, instead the significant division is along the lines of neoliberal Globalist v Nationalist - the people who want to live in the pods and own nothing v the people who want to have someone to live that they can call their own and don't want to eat bugs for dinner every day. All the old smears, racist, fascist, bigot and so forth, have almost lost any power over the common people because we can see what has been ushered into existence under the cover of these words. Eventually this tactic may result in the emergence of a real "far right" party, but that isn't yet, and that isn't Reform. However, if the politicians are foolish enough to continue to play this game of gaslighting and not delivering on what the common people want, this will go sideways and the dire predictions of Enoch Powell may come to pass. If you don't think these smear words have lost their power, look at the Triggernometry live, where the soft lads FF and KK, both Remainers and centre lefties affectionately refer to their audience as "beautiful bigots".

As someone who voted for the Reform Party there's good and bad news when it comes to voter turnout. The good news is that 4.1 million people voted for the Reform Party this general election. The bad news is that this is the same number that voted UKIP in 2015 meaning it's a stagnating number. While grabbing five seats in the House of Commons is amazing as well as having the political titan Nigel Farage, the party has to work hard on getting those extra voters in the areas where Reform came a close second. I have heard that around 600,000 extra voters spread across those constituencies is all that is needed, and I hear that a lot of the young voters that will be eligible to vote in 2029 will be voting Reform because they have zero love for Labour or Conservative thanks to social media being their main gateway into politics rather than the mainstream media. Nigel mentioned that in terms of social media influence the Reform Party dominated the political landscape.

Good video, but I think it’s important to note that Liz Truss’ government had also attempted to cap energy prices (mainly natural gas) while also cutting taxes, expecting to use government bonds to pay for it. The markets got spooked, since this was expected to worsen the already terrible rates of inflation affecting the country, and many GBP assets started getting sold off. The Pound lost a lot of its strength relative to other currencies like the Euro or Dollar, and that slammed pension funds, who made up almost half of all private savings in the country. Those funds were put in a sort of “doom loop”, where asset prices would fall, then these pension funds would be forced to get more collateral by the banks, and these funds would sell their gilts (government bonds) to meet their new requirements, lowering their value through the increased supply. I read that a few of these funds were mere hours away from disaster, according to the Bank of England, and the government has been working ever since to try to prevent this from happening again. This doesn’t detract from your video at all, as I’m sure that party infighting was a primary contributor as well, but I thought it was important to show the other major reason why she left office so soon.

11:30 "20,000 is not enough 30,000 is not enough" current net immigration is 700,000 and about 1,500,000 gross. Half the people leaving are British so you can tell how culturally enriched we are.

The sad fact is that it's largely an economic experiment to import tax cattle to offset low birthrates. Is it working? Who knows, really, so long as the GDP keeps going up. If birthrates aren't going to recover, there's a question about sacrificing culture for economic growth and vice versa. This has been framed as a trilemma using Israel, Britain, and Japan as examples. Israel has high birthates, low immigration (seemingly a luxury nowadays, and may change in the future if Israel follows the worldwide birthrate trend). Britain has low birthrates, high immigration. Japan has low birthrates, low immigration. Aspects of Japanese culture are brutal, but its public services and city management are the envy of the world, and weebs exist. I don't know what the UK has that other countries envy.

@@commisaryarreck3974 Oy vey! Shut it down! I do believe the many, many factors leading to today's dysgenic populations will come to them in time though. Then they'll have to eat their own medicine. They can't escape things like technologically enriched poverty, breakdown of trad gender roles, girlboss careerism, and microplastics leaking estrogen in their balls.

@@crassuscorax7731 absolutely true, the GDP has gone up 0.2% and they've increased the population by about 1-2% that sounds sustainable doesn't it. GDP per capita on the other hand is in the gutter.

Fantastic video Dev. One suggestion though please, subtitles on the parts where there's chanting or shouting from attendees, like the part at about 9:00, it's very hard to hear what the crowd is saying.

Some people have to learn the lesson the hard way. The UK’s about ready to find out that all Labour is is a massive headlong march to the country’s demise.
