The British anti-Woke nationalist movement will get nowhere until Farage is as discredited a figure as Boris Johnson.

It’s on the subject of British politics that my views have very frequently changed, but it’s because the dynamics are so often changing. You have an idea for one course of action, and then an event happens which completely upends the assumptions that underpinned it.

When I started this Substack, I was suspicious of Reform, seeing their barebones Thatcherite party platform, and their reliance on Farage, rendering them effectively useless. Their only utility I could see was as a deliberate spoiler for ‘Wet’ Tory MPs, who I believed were responsible for the betrayals of Boris Johnson’s government. I even had an elaborate plan to create a ‘scorecard’ system for Tory MPs, supporting the ones that had aligned political positions, and deliberately spoiling the fortunes of the Wets by running as a spoiler.

However, when Nigel Farage returned to lead Reform in the election in July, the fortunes of Reform skyrocketed. I didn’t have any of the influence to make my scorecard suggestion happen, so, going with the flow, I decided to simply vote Reform to express my dissatisfaction with the Tories.

Farage unquestionably has a ‘star’ quality, and Reform performed better than many expected once he put his hat in the ring. I hoped that Nigel Farage would win his seat in Clacton, and Lee Anderson, a defected Red Wall Tory MP, would retain his seat in Ashfield. But to my surprise, they achieved 5 seats and 14% of the vote.

One of these MPs was Rupert Lowe, who over the course of 9 months, proved to be an indispensable voice at holding the Labour government, and the uniparty in general, to account. It is because of Lowe that we finally have statistics on crime re-offending rates by national origin.

Reform still had a deeply undemocratic, corporate structure which ensured Farage’s domination of the party. However, on immigration, their policy in 2024 was pretty solid, as analysed by

.

But whilst it was not quite ‘Zero Seats’ (which in practical terms would have meant under 50 seats according to

), the Tories got absolutely clobbered at the election, and the brand seemed tarnished beyond repair. Most of the country, many of whom had voted for Boris Johnson in 2019, saw the Tory brand as synonymous with treason and betrayal. Disappointingly, the share of nationalist Tory MPs declined as a percentage of their overall representation, whilst the ‘One Nation’ (Wet Cameronite Blairites) grew as a percentage, so my ‘Zero Wet/CINO Seats’ idea seemed discredited.

Even more damning to my advocated course of action? Kemi Badenoch was seen as on the ‘based’ end when it came to Tory MPs, but as she was the Wet’s preferred choice over Jenrick, the majority of the people around her are also Wets. New Culture Forum and the Lotus Eaters exposed her as a DEI hire and not somebody actually good on the issues. Tory MPs who are ACTUALLY good, like Suella Braverman, are kept at arm’s length, being too extreme for Badenoch (her calling Braverman insane), and she has not committed to leaving ECHR and still spouts support for ‘high skilled immigration’.

Reform’s surge in the polls made me get behind them. I thought that, whilst they were an imperfect vehicle, they could make ‘Zero Seats’ for the Tory Party a reality in 2029. They would break the uniparty if they got into government, and at least make the discourse and policy more radical than it would be otherwise, moving us ‘closer’ to where we need to be.

But this weekend, we realised that not only is Reform as bad as the Tories; it may in fact be worse.

The Smearing of Rupert Lowe

Rupert Lowe has emerged by far the best of Reform MPs in the past 9 months. He has been fearless at challenging the government, in some ways being a ‘one man opposition’. Whilst Nigel Farage dithered on deportations of illegal immigrants and said they needed to appeal to Muslims or ‘we will lose’, Lowe was bold and unapologetic about wanting to deport those who have broken the law by being here and opposing anti-White discrimination.

He started to outshine Farage, something entirely Farage’s fault. For years, the base had waited for Farage to stand up for them, and he instead dithered and backtracked, with the same excuse; respectability and optics.

Many hoped Farage was playing a double act, where Lowe would be there to communicate to the base, whilst he would focus on courting the media and establishment.

But this all turned out to be wrong. Farage was utterly jealous of Lowe’s newfound popularity, popularity which was as a result of him failing to take a harder line. So disgracefully, they fabricated ‘bullying’ allegations (their falsehood which has been confirmed by the supposed victims.)

There was no blow too low. Reform has accused Lowe of ‘manhandling’ a Labour minister back in December, when if this had a shred of credibility it would have been headline news at the time. Farage is now accusing Lowe of being ‘captured by the online right’, because he echoed the concerns of Reform members and voters, unlike Farage who constantly signalled to the globalists whilst insulting his own voters. And perhaps most despicable, Farage has also been briefing journalists that Lowe has dementia.

wrote an article detailing these bogus claims.

And all because an MP dared constructively criticise his leadership in private (at first), of which there was a lot TO criticise.

Whilst I knew that Farage had an impulse to destroy anybody who might upstage him, Lee Anderson was somebody who I genuinely felt was on our side. His betrayal has been most saddening to me, but it just goes to show that all the liberal claims of him being a moronic thug were right, joining in the smear campaign of somebody he knows is innocent. Richard Tice, a Farage yes-man and clone, said that even if Lowe was found innocent, he would not have the whip restored, and his wife Isabel Oakenshot had an evil, smug grin when being interviewed about it.

On ’X’, the base is overwhelmingly standing with Lowe. But outside our space, very few people know of him. If Lowe, and other excluded figures from Reform like Ben Habib, were to start their own party, it would add to an already crowded field, and only succeed, for 2029 at least, at killing Reform and maybe Lowe hanging onto his seat.

Whatever happens, the uniparty will win in 2029, with Reform, by disgustingly smearing the only MP who stood up for White Britons, being totally discredited, in the eyes of Anglo Twitter at least.

Some Reform members are engaging in ‘cope’ by blaming it all on ‘Rasputin’ Zia Yusef, which allows them to retain their hero worship of Farage.

But the brutal truth is that Nigel Farage IS the problem. Any movement led by him will be backstabbed and smothered at the crucial moment. He is fundamentally the greatest enemy of serious anti-Woke nationalism in Britain.

In this essay I will discuss who Nigel Farage really is, why he was held in high regard for so long, and why we were wrong to do so. It will conclude that the only way anti-Woke nationalist politics gets anywhere in this country is if he, and the politics he represents, is completely discredited,

Nigel Farage’s History

Nigel Farage began his career as a stockbroker, and was a committed Thatcherite. He left the Conservative Party due to his views on Europe, and joined the small Anti-Federalist League, which was eventually to become the UK Independence Party (UKIP), both of which were initially led by Alan Sked.

When it was led by Sked, UKIP was a single-issue party, a lot like the ‘Referendum Party’. Skedd himself was effectively a Lib Dem who dissented on the question of Europe.

He became leader of UKIP in 2005, and was passionately against any accommodation with the British National Party (BNP), that was the big right-wing insurgent party at the time. He took the move of barring any person who had at any point in their life been a member of the BNP from being a member of UKIP, something which basically all minor parties on the right have done since, for instance the Social Democratic Party (SDP). The ‘BNP Blacklist’ exists to this day, with many members who were doxed as being members having their lives completely destroyed.

Frequently on live television, Nigel Farage would boast about how he had done more to defeat the BNP than any other figure in British politics. In this New Statesman article, he gives some very revealing quotes, which should put to rest the idea that Farage is somebody remotely friendly to us.

“No one did more to beat the far right in this country than me. If I wasn’t here, somebody with a bit more brain than Nick Griffin would emerge.”

I mean, the BNP did have an unpleasant, skinhead vibe which hadn’t fully distanced itself from its Neo-Nazi origins, but banning all former members, even those which had genuinely changed their minds, and boasting about it to a left-wing magazine (among many other outlets before this point)? It seems that Farage is somebody who is desperate for establishment approval more than protecting the interests of the indigenous British.

The Boomer Ideology of Commonwealth Nationalism

Nigel Farage represents a tendency which I like to call ‘Commonwealth Nationalism’, something which he shares with most of the ‘Tory Right’ and the think-tank world of Tufton Street.

In this interpretation of British national identity, the major threat to British sovereignty is not non-White immigration, but immigration from Eastern Europe and violations of British sovereignty by European treaties.

I’m no fan of the way the EU is governed, and I think Brexit was correct. However, one should clearly be able to see that it is easier to assimilate a Polish immigrant than a Indian one.

But Farage didn’t think so. He saw British identity through the lens of the Commonwealth of Nations, the organisation that was supposed to succeed the British Empire, but was really just a giant cope. He famously said ‘I would prefer an Indian immigrant than a Polish immigrant’

Why did he say this? Because India was a member of the Commonwealth, and for ‘Commonwealth Nationalists’ like Farage, Britishness was synonymous with the British Empire, which ruled over millions of non-Anglos.

With Farage being the ‘most right-wing figure to be semi-respectable’, even though he was endlessly called racist by the establishment media, policed the Overton Window. It became impossible to imagine anything BUT multiculturalism, if even ‘basically fascist’ Nigel Farage accepted it.

He finally achieved his dream of Brexit in 2016, and then, when UKIP started to become too radical for his taste, as it started to focus not just on Europe but at the broader problem of mass immigration and Islam, particularly with the Grooming Gangs, he left it, and smeared those who remained as ‘racists obsessed with Islam’.

He set up the Brexit Party in 2019, which unlike UKIP, was a limited company controlled entirely by himself. He stood down for Boris Johnson’s Tories in 2019 to be able to ‘Get Brexit Done’.

Farage remained critical of Boris Johnson, however the liberalisation of non-EU immigration that happened under Boris Johnson’s Premiership was motivated by essentially the same, Commonwealth Nationalist’ worldview.

As The Critic writes, virtually all of the ‘Brexit establishment’, of which Nigel Farage was a member even if slightly distanced from the ‘mainstream Brexiteers’ like Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings, was not a rejection of multiculturalism and immigration, but instead, ‘Global Britain’, the idea that Britain should strengthen its ties with the ‘multi-ethnic commonwealth’. A frequent Brexit argument was that the EU was unfair to non-EU immigrants, and that all we needed was a ‘points based immigration system’.

Of course, that it what we got under Boris Johnson, and net migration skyrocketed to 906,000 in 2024, and gross immigration over 1.2 million, 86% from outside the EU (and therefore non-White) immigration, unlike during the Blair, Brown, and Cameron years where the majority of immigration had been from fellow White Europeans. Britain experienced a faster rate of ethnic demographic change than any other period in its history.

Boris Johnson is rightfully seen as an enormous traitor, somebody who captured the populist sentiments of the ‘Red Wall’ only to capitulate completely to the ‘metropolitan liberals’ he was so desperate for approval from, yet always despised him and called him a ‘fascist’. Yes, that’s right, BORIS JOHNSON was called a ‘fascist’, frequently.

So where does Nigel Farage differ from Boris Johnson? Well firstly, Nigel Farage is a climate change denier, and is primarily upset with Boris Johnson for ‘net-zero’, being bankrolled by fossil fuel companies.

He believes the numbers are too high, and he does sincerely believe in ‘Net Zero Immigration’, which was the Reform slogan in 2024.

But for Farage, he is entirely comfortable, and even celebrates, this being from non-White countries, so long as an equal amount of people come as people leave, it doesn’t matter to Farage what ethnicity they are.

Farage is often seen as part of the global populist right, because INTERNATIONALLY he’s friendly with the likes of Trump, Le Pen, and Meloni. But when it comes to his actual policies for Britain, he is a Blairite multiculturalist.

What makes this worse though is that for many years, he ‘threw red meat’ to his base, which were British patriots who saw in him a vehicle for which, even if they had to compromise for electability, was somebody who was still fundamentally on their side, and would have their back. But as his abandoning of UKIP and smearing of its activists, the expulsion of Ben Habib, and now the smearing of Rupert Lowe, shows, he never was.

Electability or Conviction?

Farage justifies these positions by concerns about ‘electability’, but beneath that, shows a sincere conviction in favour of the Blairite multicultural consensus.

He even has said, gleefully, on numerous occasions, that he was ‘holding back the far-right in Britain’/ For many years, we were fed this lie that he was merely a Trojan Horse, but in actual fact, he is a true believer in the Blairite multicultural consensus.

Up until right now, we thought that Rupert Lowe, as a supposed friend of Farage, was playing the ‘double game’ by revealing to the base what Reform supposedly REALLY stood for. But once again, this was pure cope.

What the Rupert Lowe fiasco shows is that, if any serious nationalist anti-Woke figure emerges in British politics, Farage will make it his mission to tear them down.

He is a narcissist and egoist who can’t have anybody else in the spotlight, though that is also true of Trump. The difference with Trump is that he never counter-signals his base, he always makes MAGA a big tent coalition of which those further to his right may join so long as they get behind him.

If Farage had JUST been a narcissist, Lowe would never have gotten traction. The fact that he did, and started to outshine Farage, was because he was saying things the base WANTED Nigel Farage to be saying, yet he never did.

But Nigel Farage is something worse than an egotistical tyrant, he is a true believer in multiculturalism, and is indifferent to the Great Replacement, choosing Muslim Zia Yusef as his successor as opposed to somebody with a nationalist bone in their body.

He shows more contempt for his base than any other politician. The Reform top brass thinks they are the scum of the earth, as shown by Richard Tice calling those protesting against the grooming gangs ‘that lot’.

Online at least, people are finally realising that Farage is not a ‘flawed friend’ who is ultimately fighting our corner, which in large part is built on his international connections. He is in fact an enemy of all who want to stop the dispossession of the indigenous British people.

But the tragedy is that it really is too late, for 2029 at least. Reform has built the infrastructure and the name recognition already, Lowe’s sacking will probably barely register amongst the public at large. Yet what price are we willing to pay to just see the Labour/Con Duopoly destroyed, if Reform is not only just as bad as the Tories, but perhaps WORSE, as at least the Tories allow people like Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick to stay as MPs.

This, in addition to their idiotic focus on opposing net-zero for CO2 emissions, shows that Reform must be abandoned. It is no different from the uniparty, yet saps away energy and effort from patriots by pretending opportunistically to be on their side only to stab them in the back at the earliest possible opportunity.

Where Do We Go From Here?

It’s sad to realise that he won’t be our saviour, and that we will have to build something entirely new.

But really, just like with Boris Johnson, we should NEVER have thought he was our friend. We must stop ‘hopping on bandwagons’ looking for a saviour, compromising our principles for a slight ‘lesser evil’, only to be betrayed time and time again.

Enough is enough. It’s time to bin Nigel Farage’s ‘Commonwealth Nationalism’ completely, and break all illusions in him.

This is more important than a non-Labour/Tory party winning the next election which, as Reform have demonstrated, will not fundamentally change anything, as they are the same, and some Tory MPs like Robert Jenrick are considerably better than Farage, or at least they appear to be in what they say.

The best thing we can do right now, and it saddens me to say this, is to destroy Reform’s momentum, and ensure Nigel Farage is an utterly discredited figure, as loathed by the base as Boris Johnson is.

We cannot hope for an anti-Woke nationalist government, a ‘British MAGA’, to come to power, in 2029. We are a long way off from that happening.

But the sooner Reform UK, that corporation party run by a narcissistic containment charlatan, collapses, and Farage is disgraced, can we begin the long, arduous road of rebuilding.

Any time spent campaigning for a Reform government is a waste of energy, and if it actually happens, will just demoralise even further.

It is as of yet uncertain whether Lowe, and other exiled Reform operatives like Ben Habib, will create their own, more democratic party which will not sell out the base. This party, as of now, won’t get anywhere close to forming a government, but it could dent Reform’s momentum, retain Lowe as an MP, and maybe win some councillors.

As for whether this is the right approach, or whether they should join an existing party in an already crowded field

UKIP after Farage’s exit became a more cultural nationalist party, whilst constantly shedding members, and they are these days a shell of what they used to be. Nick Teconi, their current leader, is somebody very on board with the movement around Tommy Robinson, which in my view pays little dividend, being a terrible communicator for serious problems like the grooming gangs.

UKIP does have the name recognition, but it is also a more ‘prole coded’ party that has limited reach. It will no doubt be called a ‘racist’ party, but in fact, it goes to great lengths to say ‘it’s not race, but culture’. However, as scholars of HBD will know, culture is in large part a result of race. So this just hides away from the question, whilst appearing both dishonest and in thrall to a culturally left-wing consensus.

The other great big question mark is Homeland. If you go onto ‘Anglo Twitter’, you will constantly see floods of Homeland memes. Homeland DOMINATES in the area of meming.
