The ‘shy’ English nationalists who won it for the Tories and flummoxed the pollsters


The ‘shy’ English nationalists who won it for the Tories and flummoxed the pollsters


After the General Election I was called into the Russia Today Westminster Studio at Millbank Tower to give an interview on my view on what had happened. Here is a link to this video>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzrCSDkjIac&feature=youtu.be .


It is interesting to see that Professor Eric Kaufmann of the London School of Economics has produced a similar analysis. Here is the link to his analysis >>> http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/the-shy-english-nationalists-who-won-it-for-the-tories-and-flummoxed-the-pollsters/

What do you think?

  1. Robin did not see you but saw the interview with Lee Jaspar of the Campaign against xenophobia about the exhortation of the diversity officer at Goldsmith's College to kill all white men. Bill Dodd of RT was surprised when Jaspar, who came here as a child from the WI, told him that non-whites in Europe could not be racist. This came against the background of a survey in schools showing increasingly extreme views amongst the natives to multiculturalism, including the belief of 40% that Islam will take over.

    I think the showdown is coming and Powell has merely been sleeping.
    I don't blame the immigrants brought here as cheap labour or by the political elite or the Marxists woolly brains. The picture is being repeated all over Europe.

    As for the EU, big business has told Cameron to renegotiate as they never went us to leave, along with the banks. Rod Little has spoken of the white flight from London 40 to 50 years ago and Polish cheap labour.]Nothing against the Poles just the employers.

  2. Tellingly, Professor Kaufmann shows that in the South the English nationalist vote went to the Tories, while in the North and the Midlands the English nationalist vote went to Ukip. He also identifies that In the South support for Labour also went up, but in the North the Labour vote went down, going to Ukip, seen as the English nationalist party.
    The English Democrats must put effort into winning over the high profile UKIP targets of Boston, Rother Valley, (building in the party's comparative strength in South Yorkshire) in Dudley North and Great Grimsby. And on establishing presences in Sunderland and Middlesbrough in the North East.

    1. He also pointed out that in SOUTHERN ENGLAND Ukip's share of the vote FELL when the party was perceived as English nationalist. IN CONTRAST, in the NORTH OF ENGLAND, Ukip's share of the vote INCREASED when the party was perceived as English nationalist.
      There must be a lesson for the English Democrats in these findings.

    2. Perhaps this goes to indicate that the South East of London and its hinterland is no longer England. Another thought is that London and the home counties have always drawn to themselves those from all over England, all over Britain, whose one aim is to make loads of money. This is probably true of all capital cities. With a Conservative party now that is only concerned about the extremely wealthy and for whom money is their god then it is no surprise that the South-east is voting Tory. They will bang on about immigration and housing whilst making sure that they are in on the act. For them Englishness is a vague concept and not that of those further north for whom it is a matter of blood and belonging. Plus, perhaps southerners are more easily duped and northerners more deep thinking and canny. They have obviously swallowed Cameron's alternative to UKIP as being much the same thing. They are not. Cameron is first and foremost a PR man, used to being economical with the truth and lying for want of a better word. There is still an awful lot of England outside the South-east and an awful lot of English.
      The problem is that the establishment are well practiced in keeping the English down with their many tricks. If the backlash is now coming then the battle will be very bloody.

    3. The Daily Telegraph says that the rise of Ukip is the death of racism.
      Britons are very concerned about immigration and it's painfully clear that the government is unable [or unwilling] to control it. You can search in vain for the kind of racist [nationalist] political movements that scar so much of the continent. Nigel Farage [and Ukip] deserves a large share of the credit for that by giving concerned voters a stridently non-racist [non-nationalist] option to express concern. "The UK has become one of the most successful melting pots in the world" (Fraser Nelson)

  3. On the matter of the Tories' "triangulation" of Ukip over immigration, the Tories record on immigration has been appalling, it has rocketed under Teresa May making a mockery of Cameron's solemn pledge to reduce the influx. His latest promise rings hollow.
    A major cause of the UK's poor economic recovery is low productivity (Scotland has bucked the trend, having paid proper attention to education and training). A reason for that is lack of investment by the Tories. Productivity has fallen over the last 5 years under the Tory led coalition. The fall in productivity is reflected in the increase of casual and self employment. In turn, the increase in casual and self employment is a cause of the fall in productivity. Another cause can be traced back to Thatcher, who poured scorn on employers who train their workers when they can poach from an employer who is daft enough to train staff. That message got out; now we have no skilled workers to fill the vacancies as the baby-boomer generation moves out of the workforce.

    1. Yes, that's why we have Polish plumbers, Spanish nurses and Baltic doctors.

    2. Cameron has just said that we must train our own as one of his three pledges do better with regard to the latest net immigration figure which has led to a dumping of another city bigger than Southampton or Bristol on English soil in a year.
      However, we have now had nearly 40 years of the poaching of trained skilled labour on the cheap. As somebody pointed out, we are taking medics from the third world where they are needed, lured here, as with the East Europeans, not because there aren't jobs at home but because they get more dosh here. How is Cameron proposing to begin, any more than his pledge to deport all the illegal immigrants? As for the baby boomer generation, I come from a town where, in line with the post-War education act, there was a Technical Grammar School which turned out all the skilled labour we needed. Thanks to Labour such excellent schools were done away with so in a way it began at the end of the 1960s and Thatcher just made it worse.

      One possible reason why English nationalism is so muted down south is that the English left there are surrounded and afraid of evoking the ire of the foreign masses they are swamped by. Note the term shy nationalism. Ever since Powell was cast into the outer darkness in 1968, when he had overwhelming support, the English have crawled back into their shells, especially in most of the South - not Essex to where they have fled - for fear of rocking the boat. If Heath had not been probably blackmailed because of his private life into doing the One Worlders' bidding - let's not forget that this has been a joint enterprise of former totalitarians of left and right ( that is left ) and international finance capitalism, we could have put the brakes on then. God knows now how it is going to end; except that English backs are now getting close to the wall and it is then that they are meant to turn. English backs are near the wall, do we fight or do we fall?

      Finally, it is interesting that, apart from France, Spain and the United Kingdom, the only other EU countries to reject a quota system for the boat people from Libya are those in the former Soviet Bloc. There are several reasons for this. Their governments would plead their economies but that of Poland is meant to be booming; Poles here are just here for bigger wage packets; just greedy. Secondly, these are countries that have already experienced international totalitarian socialism and rediscovered their national identities and don't want them compromised. But also, these are countries where small pockets - note that Pegida's power base is in Eastern Germany - of those who shared Hitler's views still survive. In the chaos that followed the end of the War, Poles were killing Jews because, like Hitler, they held them responsible for the communism that was to engulf them. The Liberal elites will compare them to the Western Europe of the late 60s and 70s and ensure that a like steady drip feed of multiculturalism will get them used to its delights. I don't think that that will happen. I remember somebody telling me that Pole had told him that they will never allow what has happened to England to happen to his country.

      Watching Lee Jaspar the other evening I had a further hike in the growing sense of alarm and unease that I have been subject to ever since I was appraised of the One World Plan 30 years ago. As the Norwegian lovely Hanne Herland has said Europe is now approaching another 1939 with a dose of the Weimar government thrown in thanks to the bankers.
      Apparently, Wall Street banker Warren Buffet has said that the rich are at war with the poor and the rich are winning.
      Churchill's gathering storm is with us again as international finance and Marxism have another go ignoring human nature once again as Roger Scruton pointed out.

    3. The coming war is that between international corporations, supported by the Tories in this country, and the nations.

    4. Disparaging comments such as " . . . the English have crawled back into their shells, especially in most of the south . . . " are hardly conducive to a sense of English national unity.

    5. When Disraeli formed the concept of 'one nation conservatism', the two nations he had in mind were the radical North led by the mill owners, represented by the Whig party, and the conservative South, led by the landowners, represented by the Tory party.
      Not much has changed over the last two hundred years, in that respect.
      If the English Democrats are not going to go all out to harness that northern radicalism, they might just as well pack up now, because they will not win the South unless they first win the North.

  4. ..and unless the public wake up - it's all waste of energy. The Libs fought through remote bases for decades and look where they are now. Without harnessing our National identity first there's nothing to run with.
