Thanks. We need to stop funding the BBC. If the government will not do so, some sort of orchestrated boycott of the license fee may be needed. The BBC is monstrous, not only its current affairs, but it relentless promoting of woke ideology in its drama. A lot of BBC drama is unwatchable because it is full of diversity hire actors that aren't plausible or good. BBC coverage of serious current affairs topics, like climate change, has been inexcusably biased. The world will be better without the BBC
We desperately need a coherent plan like yours, offering the same monumental changes now happening in the USA, in order to remove DEI/Marxism/Tony Blair's baleful WEF influence once and for all from our lives and our politics.
We're not getting any clear direction from Reform and the party appears to be on its way to oblivion. Rupert Lowe and yourself are much more in tune with the general mood.
I don't know if you have a strategy to stop Blair particularly in his tracks ... anything 'nasty, brutish and (in) short (order)' would suit the indigenous UK population nicely.
It’s refreshing to see policies being presented as a strategy. Not soundbites, but as a sequence of interconnected actions. I haven’t read anything from anyone else presented in this way. It's always been a frustration I have with politicians who I've often thought need to communicate more like CEOs, not journalists. I hope others learn from this.
I'm interested to learn more about the public sector policy ideas. More freedom around schools and healthcare sounds great!
I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment Douglas and wish you were here in U.K. to rally the effort. I can’t help thinking there is something else that could be done around our British-ness. Nation-hood if you like. We’ve been culturally battered for decades, and it’s taken a huge toll on the native population. I used to live on the outskirts of London which went from a sleepy commuter town in the mid 80s to a place where native Brits were so rare you’d almost fall on each other in gratitude. We need a plan to make us feel English again.
Pretty much none of the State misbehaviour you describe could happen without money. My money.
I am a lifelong taxpayer, happy to pay his fair share and support compatriots who are unable.
But now I am in a minority, overburdened by a State which extorts money as if it were proceeds of crime, not endeavour; which asks no permission for its expenditure and provides no account of its (in)efficiency; and which mismanages a huge monopoly even while it enforces strict anti-monopoly laws.
It’s parasitic, immoral, and it should be illegal.
But the many millions of recipients of State largesse have no desire to change this. And so it will continue, until economic collapse. Only a taxpayers’ revolt would force a hard reappraisal of the State’s role, force reversion of its expenditure back to normal levels and catalyse productivity.
Agreed! There should be constitutional controls on the raising and spending of revenue - it cannot be a blank cheque from the taxpayer to the government who make capricious decisions on foreign aid, the funding of foreign wars, dimming the sun and other madness. Nothing to stop the Chancellor taking all our income in tax either - remember the top marginal rate of 98% in 1975.
Additionally, only taxpayers should be allowed to vote, otherwise it's parasites voting for free stuff.
Hi. I came here after watching your interview with Nick Dixon, which I highly recommend. Very interested in the milestones work. As others have said, we need a plan.
Can I ask what you'd do about the BBC? They could be a big factor in organizing obstruction to a reforming Government.
Sadly leadership with qualities such as yours is absent from this dim leadership lacking any intellect and moral compass. Nothing will change and everything continue to decline. The poor receive unsustainable benefits, the rich divert their wealth off shore and so those of us in middle are unreasonably taxed to fund their profligacy. No wonder we are all becoming right of right wing.
We need you but cannot imagine how you could stomach working alongside the numpty brigade !
I heard our current predicament prophesied in 1990 by the impressive Myles Dempsey (1928-2018) of the Catholic Renewal.
He also prophesied that it was all part of God's plan - for a new, genuinely Christian Britain to be built, our existing Britain must first become mere dust.
The 1911 Prophecy (coming from a group of monks in a monastery north of Moscow) must also be considered, as its main statements (about Russia) came horribly true. As has its prophecy that France would "become nothing."
Regarding Britain, then global hegemon and financial capital, the monks prophesied that it would lose its imperial greatness, then come to "almost complete ruin", but would eventually be saved by the prayers of women.
I'd say you're the only politician in Britain to have a strategy (as a opposed to rhetoric & isolated policies). I hope lesser politicians steal your ideas.
One fatal omission though: the greatest diffusers of DIE ideology are schools, through teacher-activists and activist material disseminated by educational training and guidance institutions. This is adopted willingly by schools, with private schools being even more hungry for it than state schools. Without strong, proactive state intervention on this, we will continue indoctrinating future generations with ever-increasing DIE sentiment, and all your policies will be undone. I strongly recommend Eric Kaufmann's thought, demonstrating the inability of libertarianism to counter DIE activism.
It has come to a turning point in our history. We, or rather the Americans, have an ideal opportunity to eradicate the Islamists in Iran and allow the Iranian people to determine their future without Islam.
If this doesn’t happen, then the West will fail as Islamism will be emboldened and continue its conquest of the West.
If the deislamisation of Iran is successful, then we have an ideal chance to save the West.
The idea that government reform is the only way out is flawed.
Do you really believe that the same establishment that allowed this situation to happen will actually take steps to remove themselves?
No, the only part of this plan that will be allowed to happen is the fierce border control, digital ID and deportation police, and illegals will be used to justify a police state forever.
It wouldn't surprise me if the whole point of the mass immigration was to cause so much terror and suffering that people would be grateful for authoritarian regime change.
A good cop bad cop routine on a national scale.
The actual solution is to accumulate wealth, buy some plots of land and establish a self sufficient community for like minded people.
That way we can love our neighbours and choose our way of life together.

When are you coming back to the UK to help bring about the implementation of this plan ?
Your country needs you.

I endorse everything you have outlined. Fingers crossed that it will be implemented soon. I am by nature an optimist.
Comeback your country needs you.

Thanks for your wonderfully detailed recovery plan for Britain.
But I fear it won't be taken up by the powerful until Britain (for reasons external and/or domestic) has crashed and is a heap of rubble.
And then something will have to be done.
It is unrecognisable

Allow income splitting with spouses and children to avoid overtaxing families.
