A very good essay. As I was quoted telling the Observer last Sunday, serious nationalists should get active with Restore. Not because it is going to win power, but because it is a recruitment opportunity for the community organisation which is key to securing far bigger shifts from the elite in favour of indigenous Brits.

I'm inclined to credit Lowe as the real deal, because the regime usually goes for black and white binaries, e.g. Tory vs Labour, not for messy triads. Now Reform have replaced the Tories, and Green have replaced Labour, there's no need for another nationalist party, it just confuses the simple Good Guys vs Bad Guys dyad.

For one thing, I don't think the media know how to handle two mutually antagonistic "right-wing menace" parties: do they focus on attacking Farage but occasionally admit there's an even Hitlerer Hitler called Lowe? Do they group Lowe and Farage together but then admit they are fighting each other? The regime shitlibs I know so far don't even admit Lowe exists, they've been conditioned to hate and fear Farage-Hitler for so long, their lightswitch brains can't handle a second Hitler who's also an enemy of the first Hitler.

I'm sure AA can think of a good wrestling analogy.

Was Giorgia Meloni 'competent containment' or did she do the old "give the Jews foreign policy, then... get nothing on national policy either' how is Rupert Lowe any different?

I get the impression is that she just has no cards to play. If she does anything they’ll ruin Italy even more. Italy isn’t a powerful country it’s embedded in the eu and dependent on the international system to even function with how high it’s debts, military, intelligence etc are.

I don’t think he ever went to the Tony Blair Institute.

Neither did Giorgia Meloni unless I've missed something

Aspen institute where she met Blair.

I remember someone wise once saying that we should not take our eyes off the prize, being a complete clearing out of our current elites.

If your example of a modern elite concession is Brexit then I dont see why we should waste our time.

You don't think Brexit was a step in the right direction?

Then you are one of the enemy. Good to know.

Joshua Losh's avatar

What did Brexit bring? Boriswave and further alienation from Europe / integration with America. You can call the EU anti-white all you want, but a look at the record shows that non-white immigration has skyrocketed since leaving. The true enemy is America.

Kit's avatar

The EU is fervently globalist and pro mass immigration. And you think the UK should be in it and you think that it should be stronger. You are the enemy.

What concessions do you envision to get by supporting the next mutated form of the Libertarian pathogen?

I've been saying this over and over to my friends. They point out exactly the so called flaws in Restore that you do here and I in return have to point out the political reality that we live in. I am constantly telling them that we won't get everything we want but we will get more of what we want with Restore. But, I believe it's crucial that we support Restore as if they're going to win, so that energy spreads and they become an actual force to be reckoned with.

Very helpful way of thinking of it. However, I would suggest that we let those whom are shooting early shoot. They will act as a vanguard and the pressure they put on Restore is the same pressure Restore puts on Reform. We need those extremists to take their shots and shift what is acceptable within Restore.

Did not expect to get a defence of politics-as-usual from AA of all people.

Yes, but I think it will be much harder than people expect to make the needed corrections. I believe the people of Britain can manage it with a great deal of effort. Do they understand this and are they preparing to do it? In America we can't get people to understand anything. The existential reality of politics seems to be beyond the understanding of most Americans.

Nicely explained. Thank you.

Though on the subject of "Change is secured not by mass uprising".

Cromwell and Washington may disagree.

The section talking about the UK establishment's instinct to contain and co-opt dissident sentiment reminded me, bizarrely, of David Cameron's disastrous Brexit campaign. He and Osbourne campaigned on 'Stay in but push for reform within the EU', which sounds a bit like they were trying to articulate this mode of thinking.

Seems that perhaps there is a certain level of revolutionary zeal (Being fostered?) among British people that is causing the trust in the concept of competent containment to come under threat.

The fact that the recent BBC Question Time programme excluded Restore should be all the evidence needed that the Elite is terrified of them and they are outside the Containment realm.

I also wonder if the Elite wants to supress Restore in the run up to the Makerfield by-election because it wants the Reform candidate to defeat Burnham so that Starmer can stay as PM as long as possible. Possibly they are afraid of Burnham anyway as he might prove to be a real socialist!

Thank you for providing an interesting, informative and insightful analysis, it's much appreciated and needed.

I think too often, especially in the heat of passions, especially when stoked whether due to their nature or the intent of others, people overlook the importance and necessity of rational, logical, dispassionate analysis and debate.

Lance Turner's avatar

People don’t want to hear competent containment because it takes the wind out of the sails. Social media is the funnelling of debate - no ale house rooms are safe now.

You spelt Nowak incorrectly btw and on your video you mispronounced his name.

Neema Parvini's avatar

Now fixed. "Hot off the press" will always have one typo guaranteed. I osscilated between No-wak and No-vak. Still don't know which is correct.

Charles Chevalier's avatar

Spelt, Nowak, pronounced Novak.

A most enlightening, somewhat edifying, and wholly entertaining essay—thank you. And Godspeed.
