Disjointed reply here as low on time…

There is definitely a divide among who will describe the UK as having systemic problems, and especially any to do with immigration or misguided net-zero policies. The educated will discuss things more the way a cookie-cutter educated leftie would in the United States, even if that person espouses some degree of fiscal ‘conservatism’. The cost of living has risen whilst wages and purchasing power have stagnated. GDP is up partly because it includes rents and property values - indicative of bubble money, not productivity or production.

Natural gas is being phased out to be sent to France to be converted to electricity which will then be sent via conduit back to the UK, leaving the UK vulnerable. Coal is gone. Last power station gone. Rights to North Sea oil have been sold. Green credits are going to owners of unused land with trees, for example in Scotland.

Since the Iran war, airlines have been given government permission to reduce overseas flights and cancel flights without usual notice or usual reimbursement to customers. The number of flights offered has halved, while the prices have roughly doubled. Planes are flying with heavier loads than before, as there are fewer of them.

The people are being told to prepare for shortages of fuel in the winter months and a difficult environment (prices and supplies) for heating homes. Likewise, the fuel issues in the Middle East are forecast to affect phosphorus and fertilizer supplies, which may cause later shortages. The UK already only produces 40% of the food it uses.

As in many places, everything costs more now - but there is so little wiggle room for most British people to absorb the excess costs. Even the wealthy are not very rich, and usually not very British. For a time, the welfare state and free higher education did dramatically change the lives and social classes of many people, but the ease of having the good life has waned over the past twenty years, much as in the US.

A leaked white paper from April on Project Cornerstone (I think I mentioned this before) outlines contingency plans on rationing of fuel and goods should things become more difficult, and its framework implementation relies on all persons having a unique identifier within the digital ID system which many think is optional or not up and running, and both of these are incorrect assumptions.

More and more towns and villages are becoming like the cities, very pluralistic and diverse, with new people and populations which many do not feel they have seen before or in such great numbers. Under-used churches are becoming mosques. In-home care work and social care work is heavily saturated with workers from southerly continents. Word has it that these people are recruited, and then encouraged and funded by local councils to start their own companies, and to recruit from their countries. Many of these people work very hard, and do jobs which many natives seem disinterested in or unaware of - but this is the same trope used in the US - so of course not entirely true.

The tabloids, which offer different content to UK IP addresses than to US IP addresses will run stories about grotesque violence against women in parks and on beaches and walking to their cars to go home, usually some time after the event, and always with online reader comments disabled so as not to incite any uprisings. Companies like Serco, hotels, and property management companies offering what are called HMOs to house many people in converted houses are making a lot of money via contracts housing the growing number of migrants that arrive daily, after they are escorted by the coast guard safely across the channel. The costs to house migrants are three quarters of the budgetary black hole deficit Labour is trying to fill through other cuts and increased taxation.

Even access to legal aid or solicitors or lawyers is limited because so many have redirected their services to fulfilling the administrative need for help with asylum claims which amount to a multi-year backlog. Courts are backlogged. While migrants wait, they can have their families join them. As these people plant roots in the UK, they cultivate different legitimate reasons to be granted leave to remain or asylum in the UK because they satisfy Articles 3 & 8 of the ECHR - even if the original threat necessitating asylum is no longer a paramount or a proved concern. Persons and their families who entered the UK under asylum seeking also have completely different access to funded higher education and training programmes. Some would say this is good, but many natives just feel taxed and exploited.

The UK will probably never leave the ECHR. MPs are under no legal obligation to do as their constituents ask, and there really remains the question if all party policies are steered toward a roughly common outcome from some force of decision making at the top of the political food chain.

Businesses on high streets are closing left right and centre because they cannot afford the high tax rates imposed by Labour policies just to maintain facilities. The lower and middle classes continue to bicker online about the alms for the poor and disabled being too generous because they often exceed wages. A majority of disability claimants receive money for mental health disorders, but many things distort the true picture of how well the national health service is not bettering the health of the nation.

Figures will show that native British tend to be high recipients of social welfare benefits, but this is also because many work but are underemployed or earning too little with full employment, and so get top-ups or low income assistance through what is called “Universal Credit”. The elephant in the room is that wages and salaries are stuck in 1986 for a developed nation. Labour recently repealed the two-child benefit limit, but to people with racial sensitivities, they point out that native British are not typically the families which have more than two children. One wonders if the natives would care about the costs helping others if they felt that they were doing well and that their culture and heritage were under no threat of change from heterogeneity of occupation.

Nobody would be surprised if the IMF has to be approached in another year or two.

Socialism is still strong in Wales and anywhere north of the Midlands. Likewise the economic picture of the UK is incredibly bleak when London and or the Home Counties are removed from statistics.

The NHS continues to deliver services through torpid and inept methods to those desperate enough to seek help. Complaints are handled or ignored through services called PILS or PALS which will often do nothing more than help someone attain services they should have been provided in the first place, or perhaps a written apology for ill treatment. Medical negligence legal claims options are narrow under the law and what is permissible would probably offend most who are used to more responsible medical care.

Accident & Emergency department waits are now routinely in excess of 12 hours. Waits to see a GP are 2-4 weeks on average.

The UK suffers through heatwaves with most businesses and individuals having inadequate money to install air conditioning in buildings, or even to pay for recreation in the few buildings which do have it - never mind that there have been significant heatwaves at least for a few days here and there for years, if not decades. The media spin is heavy on catastrophism of climate change.

We expect more taxes, stagnant growth, and no way to get a General Election in time to turn the ship around. Maybe it’s Agenda 2030 in action? NPR got it right today when they said that Burnham represents a change in personality, not a change in policy… And parliament isn’t back until September anyway.

In a country where it rains nine months of the year and yet more essential services are mismanaged, all we can expect is a hose pipe ban due to potable water shortages. No joke.

Thanks for this detailed exposition! Very useful information!

Its a global systematic destruction by the marxist fabian agenda. The change of guardin the UK is just theatre. Just so you know who we are getting as a new PM, burnham (most corrupt politician available for the job?) No doubt will accelerate the downfall of the UK.

I bring to your attention Raja Mia MBE, who has been heavily suppressed, his life threatened many times, almost bankrupted, etc etc. I implore anyone to go read & support him. Just read his latest analytical forensic take on burnham et al. Raja has spent the last 8 years campaigning for the exposure of the rape gangs, He has found that burnham, the chiefs of police & labour councillors were all totally involved in the cover up of the rape gang scandal, child trafficking, drug dealing etc etc. https://www.redwallandtherabble.co.uk/ please do scroll down for other exposures of scandalous cover ups.

Thank you, Hannah, for taking the time to inform us of the details combining to kill England with a thousand cuts.

It's hard not to point to the presence of non-English loiterers living on the dole as contributing to most if not all of these threats.

TMF:  Your inner self's avatar

Kathleen, UK has a history of colonisation etc... The term 'non-English' - perhaps you need to define, more accurately and the 'loiterers who are threatening.

It is easy to pick negative points about another country, culture and peoples.

John Leake - many thanks for your article. As always, balanced.

Hannah - Clearly, democracy via general elections are not working. There is movement for PR Proportional Representation. Only time ie repeated disappointing national politics, will swing to PR? Politics based on Red, Blue, Yellow- 'defined' partisan politics do not work.

Yes, I dislike 'politics' in any form or shape. Power corrupts from the bottom up. Back to the topic What is Left of England and the English People? Plenty going on... I remain optimistic, not only for England, UK and rest of the world. We are connected, ultimately for the goodness of humanity.

The Fabian’s hate capitalist’s don't they? But from the other side of their split tongues they/them Fabian’s say “capitalist’s free market’s kill horses don’t they”?

Just ask the BBC and the French connection AP that put the likes of Fonda (Hanoi Jane), Clinton’s, Kerry ilk on pedestal’s from the 1960’s anti American cultural revolution six decades ago when they began the purge of America’s conservative and classic Disciplined liberals that once were able to dissent between them by hijacking and inverting them both into Neo undisciplined liberals by using “foreign and domestic” media snap shots and sound bites. It was how they hijacked and corrupted reporting on the movements of the 1960’s and 70’s. They bastardized the Civil Right’s movement putting millions of minority white and black potential voters into “project” housing for a monthly plantation check as long as there was no papa bear around, and they slandered America and it’s military by hijacking and inverting the Vietnam war movement into a hate American movement by political interference with military ending it ASAP, thereby extending the war to eleven years, shaming and dividing America to this day by killing millions more (Vietnamese boat people/Cambodian killing fields) including 58,000 KIA American soldiers and 300,000 WIA.

Sister Socialists under the direction of their big brother’s Communists/Fascists insurgents are academic viruses that do their best work at infiltrating hierarchal minded university’s of political astuteness, Hollywood culture capture, and their bureaucratic minions in America, and they/them know the more hierarchal the university the more fraudsters they have to work with.

Post WWII’s Eurasian infiltration invasion into American political universities’s made for plenty of Marxist/Fascists that had gained tenor just in time for the fertile minds of my Boomer generation (80M), that were being indoctrinated to hate America.

In the midst of foreign and domestic news outlets slandering America and anyone in uniform service to America they/them antagonized the burning of cities, same as today and vowed to “march through the institutions” (Gramsci) and indeed they did by the 1990’s initiating the USAID uniparty of tens of thousands of “charitable” friend and family NGO synapses of total control.

The NGO synapses were systemically corrupted by deceit, like a cancer or virus, rather than conspiracy. The tiny elements of truth by association to the majority of deceit was enough to be made into whole cloth. It’s what they do.

It is no coincidence that they/them Leftist’s then chose the historic Democrat Plantation Party to be their vehicle going forward during the 1960’s and onward as comrades toward Socialist/Communist globalism.

Thus post WWII, as America’s hate America Left went about hijacking and inverting capitalism into socialist serfdom, so went the EU and NATO’s unappreciative beggars especially two time loser Germany to America, the French aristocracy bourgeoise, and old Monarchial bloodlines of Europe controlled by London’s world banking through DAVOS (1942), WEF (1971), and their Communist, Fascist, and Islamist regimes they have manipulated to drag America into their wars for a century since they initiated the FED. With the aristocratic academic, Democrat Wilson (1913).

What a bargain. As America’s military held the umbrella over the EU and NATO post WWII while America’s middle class/minority majority stood in the rain, all the above Eurasian’s enjoyed Stipends from America via the private global FED’s lower interest rates through London’s World Banks and Lloyd’s of London’s insurers, and pro EU/NATO tariff relief costing America $37 Trillion, America’s current debt.

The EU’s three stooges and the rest of NATO shills were all in with DAVOS’ globalism by flooding their own countries with future serf’s for their new 2030 Kingdom and Dukedom’s, bolstered by global minded Neo liberal useful idiot’s for Social-ism for others, including America they/them said was stolen land, and of course both China and their Communists proxy’s and Islamist’s were just fine with the entire plan as they each had their own plans of domination.

All are currently geopolitically and domestically being unraveled. That’s where the hate is coming from like sticking a knife in a cancer that screams. They are running out of villains to distract you as you bark up the wrong trees. As the truth catches up to the deceit they throw junk on the road behind them. Smoke screens, grease, Democrat judicial judges, media, uniparty legislature, anything to take back control of the Executive Branch they have mostly controlled that Republican President Eisenhower warned about in his 1961 farewell speech. They already controlled the Pentagon through DC lobby by then, but not the Department of War. That would be emasculated over the next six decades until the people had enough by 2024.

That’s why my Boomers and their offspring are so confused. They have been living a lie since WWII ended, and they had no idea because it was naturalized by its insidiousness and intent. Most of America and Europe middle classes either forgot or never knew anything other way of living but the chronic chaos of murder on every nights evening news or why their dollar lost 87% of it’s buying power because true capitalism never got the chance to flourish post WWII as it was being undermined by Leftist promulgation of cultural Communist Oligarchy propaganda, “foreign and domestic”, Fascist chaos, and every time dissent stepped up it was called a conspiracy theory or failed history, not to mention the slander of Neo liberal’s ism’s , ogeny’s, and phobia’s to shame and emasculate dissent.

Think of it like boxes of truth on a shelf and over eight decades boxes of deceit are pilled on top of them, and then one try’s to pull a boxes of truth out. All the deceit falls on one’s head, and the hate America Leftist say “history’s not important” (80’s), everybody gets a trophy, no questions, we must be Neo liberally progressive.

But what about the collateral damage of GOF? The Leftist’s said that only happens when Republican’s start wars. The whipping boys of the Leftist academic hierarchy.

They redefine what is free speech versus what is some other sort of speech. Et voila.

JoAnn A. McClellan's avatar

Many of the issues identified are directly related to the immigration issue.

JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE AREAS BELOW ARE UNDER DURESS FROM IMMIGRATION, i.e. the impact of Supply vs Demand

Prices:

Growth: Too many immigration are on public assistance....not productive member of society, i.e. weak productivity, low tax revenue to repair crumbling public services & FUND OTHER SERVICES DEPENDENT ON TAX REVENUE

The National Health Service (NHS)

Wait times: Long delays for routine hospital treatments and emergency care are major concerns.

Funding: The health service faces high demand from an aging population AND demand from immigrants with large families AND that also goes back to productive workers & tax revenue.

Housing

Again supply vs. demand as a result of immigration and if it's like the USA, immigrants are getting subsidies for rent and down payments to buy homes, that a double whammy for citizens - supply is reduced and when prices prices rise citizen's are priced out. They aren't getting subsidized.

Gilgamech's avatar

Yes and you could add to this list: censorship; the two-tier justice system; the rapid erosion of historic constitutional rights. All of these are necessary to keep the population in check while they are forced to accept immigration that nobody wants and nobody ever voted for.

Melanie Barbaro's avatar

They brought it on themselves with weak leadership.

Hannah's avatar

This assumes that voting makes much difference. The candidates offered vary little in their policy options.

Gilgamech's avatar

A myopic view Melanie. They have a rigged system and a “choice” of Stooge 1 or Stooge 2. Just like the US and pretty much everywhere.

Christopher Quick's avatar

Neither the U.K. nor the U.S. can vote their way out of this globalist nightmare of Evil. Christianity brought down the Roman Empire, and it is also the only solution to this global empire. There are no secular solutions for a spiritual problem of Evil which is running the world institutions.

Melanie Barbaro's avatar

This is really nothing new, it seems that way because we are seeing it for ourselves now. The New World Order, depopulation and the Enslavement of humanity is more vivid now.

Melanie Barbaro's avatar

Exactly short but potent.

Christopher Quick's avatar

There is a book called The War Against Humanity by Anonymous Patriot that you would like. You would be hard pressed to find a more potent written force against Evil, other than Scripture.

OTOH/IMHO's avatar

Nietzsche was no fan of Christianity(the Borzoi Books 1925 edition of The Antichrist, with its epic introduction, nearly as long as the book, by H.L. Mencken, is amazingly timeless and a must-read). The son of a clergyman himself, he wrote that he had studied the scriptures exhaustively and come away wondering if Christ was the only Christian. I have know a few real Christians, which might seem to refute him, but his point is well taken: where are they? The so-called Christians spent two thousand years in Europe hacking each other to bits, the churches are empty, and in the Holy Land itself they are being kicked out everywhere.

My advice to Burnham (apart from “how about you get a proper job for once in your? life”) would be to stop borrowing money you can’t afford, to pay for an aggressive war of choice that is rapidly destroying the economy of the UK and Europe.

I'm reminded of the lyrics of The Kinks song, Living on a Thin Line. ".... there’s no England now." Dave Davies was more visionary than anyone realised when he wrote it back in 1984 …. Oh, the irony of that date, George Orwell must be up there laughing his socks off!!

freelearner's avatar

"That's not true" sounds like my mom (standard lib boomer, though it's possibly better that she gets her news from YouTube instead of TV). Any facts in opposition to her beliefs are "not true" while several exaggerated tales she's shared with me which I take it are viral on the left turned out to be actually, in the old sense of the phrase, not true. We are in difficult waters when there is no shared reality.

Burnham was offered his seat in the Commons by Josh Simons who was director of Labour Together (the organisation which also spawned Centre for Countering Digital Hate) in succession to Morgan McSweeney, so it looks like the usual globalist franchise. The globalists are losing interest somewhat in Net Zero because the need energy for AI control and surveillance. But absolutely all politicians here are still hooked on the Russian stupidity. You cannot speak against and remain in public life.
