In a short while we as a party will be faced with what is, for us, a daunting task: the choice of a new leader. Given our recent experience of doing precisely this, not once but several times, we could be forgiven for approaching this task with more than just a modicum of perspicacity, for it is not a task where practice makes perfect.
The choice that lies ahead has been framed by some, and rightly so, in terms of the problems, threats and challenges that face us. But it is a choice that is bigger than this for it will not only decide if we are to survive as a political party but more importantly, if we are to survive as a people. To do that we need to select a leader who not only can deal with the challenges we face, but will also be personable and charismatic; someone who ordinary people, people not overly interested in politics, will vote for.
Nigel once famously asked: “Who are you?” That question, though not directed our way, might well have been. Is now not the time for us to ask “Who are we?” (as a people).
Are we not the people that brought a civilised, decent and just way of living to much of the world, that saw off tyranny in two horrendous wars? Are we not still that people? I for one believe we are.
Much has been said and written about UKIP being ‘controversial’ (or not).
Far less is being said about ‘religion’; and when it is it is generally directed in a negative way towards the invading hordes of what, in more normal times, would be described as illegal immigrants.
Of course such talk is muted and understandably so, as blatantly stating the blindingly obvious is now considered to be a ‘hate’ crime.
Out-of-control immigration, is to me, the biggest problem we face, as it adversely affects everyone. From the ‘free stuff’ working (and non-working) class voters who identify themselves as being Left, and who unknowingly face a dystopian future when the benefits system and NHS collapse through sheer weight of numbers – to those, who the Left describe as being Right, those with money, properties, possessions, wives, daughters and sons to protect.
We know the problem. But what is the solution? More to the point, how do we rally the population to support and vote for its implementation when we’ve found it?
Could religion, the word they use, usually in a derogatory manner to imply that all ‘the faiths’ are the same, play a role for us?
We are at our core, at least culturally, a Christian people. In our modern, now largely secular world, Christianity has been artfully and surreptitiously undermined and subjugated by global socialists, Marxists et al, to the point where for many: all that is left of it is Christmas. However, notwithstanding that, we are still, officially, a Christian state.
I do understand that it would be considered gauche to promote Christianity at a political meeting in the same way it would be to promote UKIP at church. However, perhaps it’s time for any aspirant candidates who are Christians to say so. I for one would be more inclined to trust my vote with one who was. I also think Christian voters would be more inclined to vote for a Christian a leader and a party that was prepared to state openly that they would protect their rights. I’m not suggesting this would be easy, but it can be done. It worked for Trump.
Those who think Christians are all softies because they turn the other cheek should consider that some 300 years after riding to Jerusalem on a donkey and getting crucified for his troubles it was Jesus who, though not in the flesh, but in spirit, conquered the Roman Empire. Later it was Christian missionaries who spread his word around the globe, often at great risk to their lives. Christians are known to be hard-working, loyal and their moral courage is feared by those who lie, cheat and steal for a living or do unspeakable things to children. Christianity is a powerful force for good.
It has been reported that Poland has had little or no terrorism. Could this be the reason?

Liberas, the only point I would make is that Britain was, before the Church Leaders became Cultural Marxists, a Christian country, so I think we can validly stand up for that. But the U.K. Laws are separate from our Religion, that is the point, a Religion that insists that it’s teachings become or subvert the Laws of any land is not a religion, it is a Political system – leaving aside the fact that if death results from leaving it, or even death threats, that makes it a cult and so not a valid religion either.
Like I said before, it isn’t AMWs views that are the problem to the leaders, or Gerard Batten wouldn’t still be around and PW wouldn’t be a contender. It is who she associates with. Our financial donors will run a mile, party bankrupt, and NEC members in legal jeopardy. Please can anyone point to anything she has said that GB hasn’t (except he said 10 years earlier). Even Malcolm Pearson held similar views.
Side issue – thanks to the Editorial folk for the most beautiful picture at the top of this article – one that truly shows this United Kingdom is worth fighting for.
As President Trump asked, “Are we willing to shed our blood in defense of our Western culture?
This should be the Rallying Cry for anyone who aspires to lead UKIP.
So agree, Rob C – but it seems that many who sadly are at the top, or at least directing UKIP would rather hide behind the sofa.
Incidentally Anish has resigned from the NEC. He was forbidden from going on the Jon Gaunt show by ? and must have felt that it was a step too far?
TPTB of UKIP are blind to the issue of Islam as evidenced by their attempts to discredit AMW. They must be removed if UKIP is to survive and act in support of native Brits against the enemies within. It would also be good for them to cooperate with others supporting that cause; we need a concerted effort not fragmentation.
Here is something very dark that has just come in that I believe has relevance here. It’s not something I have useful knowledge about but am aware of. It was at the back of my mind when writing this article. It is the very antithesis of Christian family values. In following the link you will discover that even the Church itself is vulnerable. There is also some evidence that for some of those involved it provides the motivation for their promotion of the migrant crisis. So unspeakable evil explains unexplainable madness.

With regard to islam, there are millions of peaceful mulsims, there is however no peaceful islam. we just have to stop going into denial about it. personally I feel that many cultural muslims would welcome seeing extremists deported if they are not UK nationals. just because I reject an ideology that has more in common with Nazism than many would care to admit, I do not consider myself racist, and nor do my Kurdish, Indian, and black friends consider me so.
Of course there are peaceful people from Muslim families and countries but “peaceful Muslim” is an oxymoron. If they attend a mosque and subscribe to what is taught there then they are anything but; they are just biding their time.
Another great post by citizenkain.
And who was responsible for the outbreak of WW1. The ruling elite. An elite who do not have the interests of the ordinary people at heart. We have the same problem today with our ruling class.
As AMW said in a recent speech we need to turn our attention to the mainstream parties and ruling class and take the fight to them and get them all out of power before they finish off the West.
Many thanks for your kind comments Maximus.
Seconded.
Michael – unfortunately not only does it need someone really good, they need to be fearless and possibly willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for their country. It’s come to that I’m afraid
President Trump (blessings be upon him – yes I am now a convert though still worried for Christians in Syria if Deep State persuade him…) asked that very question in his Polish speech – are we willing to shed our blood to preserve our Western culture, John.
