I have always struggled with the term 'populism', it seems to me to be a label that is designed as a derogatory term for people who wish to protect their country from the onslaught of neo-liberalism, where anything goes save for protecting the indigenous population's culture. To give it some context, if Muslims behaved that way, it would be called Islamism, yet you rarely, if never, hear that term.

Onslaught of neo-liberalism? That's what the socialists claim they are doing. You have bought into left wing propaganda, admittedly probably unwittingly. Populism is an attempt to put forward simple solutions to complex problem. Populism can be left or right. For example, all problems are caused by immigration/wef/Muslims/jews/capitalists/blacks/corporations/globalism/Tories/Labour/old people/young people/1% etc

All of this national navel-gazing is sort of interesting but a lot more context is needed these days. Whatever horrors we may have been suffering in the UK can be reflected all over the Western World. This stems from a loss of trust in our entire political class. The people simply want to punish them all for being so inept and so clearly corrupted. They may not be entirely sure what is corrupting them or why but they know for sure something is very wrong indeed. Labour may get in by default but with less than minus enthusiasm. Starmer won't find that he has anything even slightly reminiscent of what Tony Blair had when he first entered No10 to cheering crowds even if all of them were party apparatchiks. Trust is like virginity. The British establishment has not been caught out at the Christmas party kissing dirty Lill in dispatches under the mistletoe. It has been caught with its pants down with its own mother and sisters-in-law in the matrimonial bedroom at the same time. Cheating is one thing, it is quite another to get caught doing it. However even worse when having been caught multiple times, when the wife can't even afford to pay the household bills, and her credit cards are maxed out. At this point, she has nothing to lose from throwing you out of the house and changing the locks. Have you got it yet? Most Americans are voting for Trump simply to give the American Establishment a message that even they dare not ignore this time. In the UK, we are not talking about riots in the streets as the British don't do that sort of thing only mindless students, trades unions, and other assorted establishment-sponsored rent-a-mobs. We are talking about a breakdown in civil society of a much more subtle nature. A time when the sort of people who would never dream of going on a protest march, start calmly turning up in their millions. A time of straight talking to those in power. A time when neither the BBC nor the rest, has the power to set narratives or promote agendas. When the masses no longer take anything simply on trust, but start to question everything. The people may elect a #Labout government, and given the duplicity of the Blue team of criminals, who could possibly blame them for that? However, this is mainly so they can have a different bunch in Westminster to throw rotten tomatoes at. Things have changed in many ways, but the people in charge seem to have been unable to take this into account or do enough about it. We now have the internet and social media, The establishment may still be able to run, but they can not hide anywhere near as easily. They may have more cameras on us than ever before, but they seem to forget that we have more on them than ever before, indeed countless millions more of them. BTW one more thing. We have some potentially enormous issues going on around this world of ours. However, by far and away the greatest one of all is hardly being talked about at all. This is the massively rapid and seemingly unstoppable decline of the entire Chinese economy. The sort of economic and social catastrophe that puts any decline in the British or American versions in a whole new universe of context. The sort of financial cock-up that makes Rishi Sunak and Gordon Brown look like a pair of Albert Einstein's. Yes, that bad a cock-up. If this goes where it seems that it can't fail to go, this will have implications that may resonate on The Moon. The second-largest economy and military power in the world simply can't go caput without a lot of incredibly serious knock-on effects, or a lot worse ones that are hard to even imagine.

Meanwhile back in the UK, my concern is what level of shock is required to shake our people out of laziness and stupor into a realisation that we are ALL responsible for this country's demise. At best, the majority of us vote every 4-5 years, check out and go down to the pub until we have to do it all again 5yrs later. We need a lot more involvement, debate, drive and elbow grease than that to make this country great again ( to borrow a well used phrase...)

I believe the overwhelming emotion of fair minded voters, have for Boris, is one of disappointment. Being over 60 years of age, I feel my life expectancy is shorter than the political autopsy that Boris's political corpse will endure. There's the unavoidable comparison of Boris as London Mayor, and subsequently PM. One viewed as generally successful, the latter viewed less so. Finding himself as promoter of BREXIT in a REMAIN Party, certainly internally, Boris seemed to rebound from one wing of the Tory Party to another, like a ball barring in a Pinball machine. Boris was for ever attempting to please those he felt he needed to please, probably annoying all in his wake when a sense of promising all and delivering zero. Beyound Boris, the subsequent Tory Leaders, and the one before him for that matter, appeared out of touch and falling short in delivering. All initiatives amounted to spending vast sums, most of which appear to be borrowed, and presented as investment. The British voting class, or at least the apportionment who believe they're Tory voters, many will not bother to vote at the next election. Some may take a punt on other Partys. However you dress it up, the Tories are done and dusted. If Epitaphs were sought, the Tories would probably read; Here lies the Tory Body Politic. Who over several years by means of self-harm, tragically ended their life. Remembered by their greater family, left behind and confused. FIN

The Greek historian Polybius thought that Rome succeeded because the Romans were religiously very pious. As belief in the old gods faded and the Roman spirit became diluted with widening citizenship, so did Rome. (There are parallels with our own times). Christianity was rising but there were not enough of them to make a difference. Gibbon thought Christianity was the cause of Rome’s decline but that idea is not borne out by experience in subsequent histories. Thinkers such as Sorokin, TS Eliot etc are relevant.

Politics is a jolly frolic. The best advice you can give to young graduates from the leading Universities these days is to go into politics, if they need that advice. I was one of the numpties that kept the lights on, and the thing running: I get by, but I wouldn't say I am having a jolly frolic. Good pay, really, and a pension after a couple of Parliamentary terms or so that no few might envy. Out there in the Veldt, beasts stir and stalk. (Ask any Deadmaus!) Out there, banished to the margins of political discourse, dissenters mutter. Christmas comes: who will put a penny in the cold, hungry peoples pot? And now, some rough beast slouches toward Bethlehem, to be born.

We are living in the end times. The count down to judgement has begun. The lamb will return as the lion. Believing or not will make no difference. The course is chosen. The chance given to man by the son of man wasted. All will be judged by the alpha and omega. The beginning and the end. The first and the last.

I can’t wait to see a British Vivek Ramaswamy! To give you lot two fingers and revolutionise the whole BS system! Move on, you are discussing nothing but history and nothing of truth and interest to the voters. Yawn!
