A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.— Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC).

THE protests that have been taking place in the United Kingdom this year over the illegal immigrant fiasco is a sign of things to come. The illegals, given the euphemistic term ‘asylum seekers’, are part of a greater problem plaguing Europe, and an analogue of the Biden Administration’s ‘open border’ policy: that the Trump Administration is reversing effectively. While relevant to the illegals crises spreading through the West, there is what can be termed an economy of violence that is erupting specifically in the UK. The ideas for economic violence were examined much earlier elsewhere[1]. The basis for much of these ideas come from French philosopher, writer and archivist Georges Bataille (1897-1962) who influenced greatly Foucault, Derrida, and Baudrillard. The ideas here are a compression of the array of complex thought from Battaile on economic activity as a function of energetic expenditure and waste. In this context, these activities tend to be non-productive and violate sumptuary considerations, and it is this that is the focus (productive activities also work within Bataille’s framework).
The early expression of Bataille’s ideas of ‘waste’ and ‘expenditure’ appear in his important 1933 essay “The notion of expenditure”. He also aims to give a systematic framework of how excess in the form of waste and expenditure is an outlet of energy that must be spent, in one way or another, by human beings. Productive activity is that which is necessary for the conservation of life and reproduction of societal and economic structures. Unproductive activities are that which appear to have no end beyond themselves and thereby are what he terms ‘expenditure’. Such expenditure would include mourning, war, cults, the arts, extravagant monuments, spectacles, etc. In effect, such activities do not conform to the standard idea of economic utility. Expenditure involves a loss, i.e., it involves significant waste of resources that have no link to utility as such. Battaile mentions that forms of war and destruction are as much a part of expenditure as is production.
In his great work of three volumes, The accursed share (1949), Bataille looks at the economic forces of the world holistically as part of the energy that is the basis of everything. He states (Bataille’s italics),
[I]t is easy to recognize in the economy—in the production and use of wealth—a particular aspect of terrestrial activity regarded as a cosmic phenomenon. A movement is produced on the surface of the globe that results from the circulation of energy at this point in the universe. The economic activity of men appropriate this movement, making use of the resulting possibilities for certain ends….Is the general determination of energy circulating in the biosphere altered by man’s activity? (Bataille Share I, 20-21)[2]
Here Bataille sets the stage for his analysis and examination of socio-economic-political forces as that which involve energy and expenditure—primarily through his notion of ‘exuberance’. He develops this idea by stating:
The living organism, in a situation determined by the play of energy on the surface of the globe, ordinarily receives more energy than is necessary for maintaining life; the excess energy (wealth) can be used for the growth of a system (e.g., an organism); if the system can no longer grow, or if the excess cannot be completely absorbed in its growth, it must necessarily be lost without profit; it must be spent, willingly or not, gloriously or catastrophically (Bataille Share I, 21).
However, Bataille does make it clear later: energy that is blocked and not flowing freely and accumulated in a manner that causes income inequalities and lopsided wealth development will go through one form of massive expenditure, i.e., war—which he calls an “immense squandering” (Bataille Share 1, 37). People become that portion that is expended as a sign of the surplus of wealth that can be wasted when not harnessed properly; it is also an expression of the loss of so much potential that in itself is immeasurable (the worth of a single life). This is also a “squandering without reciprocation”. For destruction of life implies the misuse of basic energy/life force or ground energy. And it is the lack of reciprocity and sharing of wealth—that which can remove blockages and allow for a smooth and equitable flow of ground energy—that underlies much of the privations of our lives (Bataille Share 1, 38-39). This implies an unproductive use of economic forces.
To Bataille, it is this sacrifice of human beings through war and other forms of unjust/harsh activities that marks them as the accursed share (Bataille’s italics): “The victim is a surplus taken from the mass of useful wealth…and therefore utterly destroyed. Once chosen, he is the accursed share, destined for violent consumption.” (Bataille Share 1, 59). These are the scapegoats selected to allow for the energetic imbalance of accumulation to continue for the benefit of some but at the expense of everything else. It is in effect a ritualistic economic culling or deliberate killing of humans that is needed to satiate the atavistic appetites of Moloch-Mammon.
[I]f we do not have the force to destroy the surplus energy ourselves, it cannot be used, and, like an unbroken animal that cannot be trained, it is this energy that destroys us; it is we who pay the price of the inevitable explosion…
We can express the hope of avoiding a war that already threatens. But in order to do so we must divert the surplus production, either into the rational extension of a difficult industrial growth, or into unproductive works that will dissipate an energy that cannot be accumulated in any case.—Bataille Share 1, 24-25.
On immigration you better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore….Last month we had nobody entering our country…we shut it down and we took out a lot of bad people that got there with Biden…
US President Donald Trump to the media upon landing in Scotland, July 26th 2025.
But you’re allowing it to happen to your countries, and you got to stop this horrible invasion that’s happening to Europe. Many countries in Europe, some people, some leaders have not let it happen. And they’re not getting the proper credit: they should. I could name them to you right now, but I’m not going to embarrass the other ones. But stop this. Immigration is killing Europe.
The illegals’ invasion of Britain
The data is unsurprisingly inconclusive as the UK government wants it to remain uncertain: but there may be about 800,000 illegals in Britain from the influx of so-called ‘asylum seekers’ in recent years. A recent finding claims that 21,117 migrants crossed the English Channel in small boats from January to early July this year: a 56% increase from the same period in 2024. According to Migration Watch UK’s Channel Crossing Tracker, at least 160,000 illegal immigrants (many of whom claim asylum) have crossed the Channel on rubber dinghies. As of 31st July 2025, an addition of at least 600 illegals crossed the Channel into England in a single day, and up to this date a total of least 25,000 illegals have crossed into England.
Migration Watch UK states:
The Channel Crossing Crisis has placed an enormous burden on the asylum system. In May 2025, the National Audit Office produced a report suggesting that the asylum system is likely to cost over £15bn over ten years.
Asylum seekers are often having to be accommodated in hotels because local authorities do not have housing capacity to spare. Since 2019, the government has contracted three companies for ten years to help house asylum seekers—Serco, Clearsprings, and Mear—to the tune of £4bn.
In 2022, it emerged that the cost of housing asylum seekers in hotels has risen to £5.6 million a day (plus a further £1.2 million for Afghan evacuees). This is equivalent to the cost of 73,000 basic visits to an Accident and Emergency unit. In January 2025, speaking in the House of Lords, Lord Davies of Gower said, ‘According to the Home Office figures, housing asylum seekers in hotels costs taxpayers over £8 million a day (nearly £3bn a year)…’
In 2023, the think tank Policy Exchange released a report detailing the public cost of the crisis, estimating that the annual cost of the small boats crisis was ‘in the region of £3.5bn’.
In a further dramatic turn, it was revealed recently due to a leak, that the UK government of former PM Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives had allowed almost 19,000 Afghans to relocate to Britain in a secret plan. But according to the UK Home Office: up to March 2025 at least 37,000 Afghans are known to have entered Britain. It was further reported:
Parliamentary Speaker Lindsay Hoyle said the affair ‘raised significant constitutional issues’ after it emerged that the previous government had obtained a ‘super-injunction’ court order banning media coverage and preventing any scrutiny by parliament.
Thousands of Afghans who worked with the UK [supposedly supporting UK efforts in the war there] and their families have been brought to Britain under the programme following the leak.
According to The Telegraph (my italics):
Britain has secretly offered asylum to nearly 24,000 Afghan soldiers and their families caught up in the most serious data breach in history, it can be revealed.
The leak led the Government to earmark £7 billion to relocate Afghan refugees to the UK over five years, piling pressure on the Chancellor’s already stretched budget.
Despite the huge cost to the taxpayer, the breach was kept secret from the public for 683 days by two successive governments after the first use of a super-injunction by ministers.
In that time, thousands of Afghans have been flown into Britain and housed in hotels and other accommodation across the country.
Some of those offered asylum previously had their applications rejected, including for violent or sexual assaults, with officials forced into a reversal.
The use of a super-injunction, the longest ever deployed and the first such measure issued ‘contra mundum’—against the world—led to what one judge described as a ‘scrutiny vacuum’.
Such was the level of secrecy that [British PM] Sir Keir Starmer was not told about the leak until after he entered office.
The Government argued that the extraordinary secrecy was necessary to keep the database from falling into the hands of the Taliban, who swept back to power in Kabul in August 2021.
But many who arrived in Britain, including via small boats, could well be from the Taliban. Moreover, the World Population Review for 2024 states:
Afghanistan has the third-highest crime rate. Crime is present in various forms, including corruption, assassinations/contract killings, drug trafficking, kidnapping, and money laundering. Afghanistan supplied 85% of the world’s illicit opium in 2020.…Widespread unemployment adds additional fuel for many of the country’s crimes, such as robbery and assault.
It appears that the only skills the Afghans are bringing into the UK are precisely what societies that value sanity, safety and a sense of decency would want to avoid. Is it any wonder that increasing numbers of Britons, who are waking up to the nightmare they are finding themselves in, are beginning to realise with apprehension what has been done under their noses and in the light of day, what has happened and is ongoing in their country? The Mail on Sunday reported on 20th July 2025:
An investigation by this newspaper has revealed that at least 312 asylum seekers have been charged with an astonishing 708 alleged criminal offences in just three years—including rape, sexual assault, attacking emergency workers and theft.
The Home office said, ‘Removal of foreign national offenders is up by 14% since the last election, and we are also taking action through our Border Security Bill to cancel the asylum claims of anyone convicted of a sex offence.
The MoS [Mail on Sunday] probe exposes how among the thousands of asylum seekers who have arrived in recent years including those who have crossed the Channel in small boats—are dangerous predators and criminals who have repaid the generosity of British taxpayers by committing serious offences.
Our research, based on an analysis of court records, provides a snapshot of crimes recorded at 70 of the 220 taxpayer-funded hotels being used to house migrants.
The alleged offences committed by asylum seekers who gave their addresses in court as one of those hotels include 18 charges of rape, five of attempted rape, 35 of sexual assault and 51 of theft.
The research also exposes 89 charges of assault—27 of which allegedly targeted police officers or other emergency workers—43 of drug offences, 18 of burglary and 16 of robbery.
The revelations come amid Britain’s worsening small-boats crisis and will raise new questions about housing around 32,000 asylum seekers in hotels at a cost of £3billion per year.’
The UK is successfully moving into great debt and impoverishment as it carries on this path of placing illegals over the welfare of citizens and the national interest. It is reported that “Britain’s national debt stands at £2.9 trillion, according to the Office for National Statistics, up from £1.6 trillion a decade ago and £349bn at the turn of the century.” These issues have led to regular protests in Britain due to the government valuing illegals over locals; the recent protest in Epping, in Essex, outside the Bell Hotel which houses illegals at taxpayers’ expense was specifically against one charged for sexual assault against a 14-year old girl. The police are busy protecting illegals against angry citizens who held placards stating “deport foreign criminals”, “we go home when they go back” and “defend our girls”. Yet again, a recent report says:
“A small boat migrant has been sentenced to just 14 months in prison, but could walk free, after he sexually assaulted an ‘extremely vulnerable’ teenage girl in a broad daylight attack [June last year]…[But the Eritrean] was sentenced to…a five-year restraining order, after he was convicted of one count of sexual assault in May this year. He was acquitted of one count of kidnapping. However, because Hadsh has already spent nearly a year in custody, he will not spend any more time in prison. Aron Hadsh was living in a taxpayer-funded Holiday Inn at the time of the assault.

I am here because this is wrong. I am only here to save my kids’ future, your kids’ future. I took asylum in this country three decades ago. I ran from these people and today they are here again. No more. We are here. I’m not running again. No more. They are here to kill you…Sorry for my language, but this is the truth. You should know that because I am from the same land they come from. They are barbarians…They will pretend they are good. They will pretend they are very happy. Once they have got established, they will f—g kill you. They are the time bomb… Believe me, it’s coming from the brown man [referring to himself] from the same land. It happened to us in Afghanistan. It will happen here again. Believe me or don’t believe me. I am here for the future of my kids, your kids. I had to repay back the country [Britain] who gave me everything. Thank you.

In a recent discussion businessman, former Reform UK Chairman, and its current head of Department of Government Efficiency Zia Yusuf says (my italics):
Look at how British people are being betrayed, our lives are getting worse. It’s the invasion as a result of small boats north of 160,000, largely men, invading our country on small boats since 2018. So that’s more men than stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day [World War II]; and, by the way, [it is] more than troops available to the British army both standard and reserve [today]…
According to Statista: “In 2025, there were approximately 181,000 personnel in the armed forces of the United Kingdom, 109,170 of which were in the British Army.” And that regular personnel at are historical lows in 2025: “Overall, there has been a long-term decline in the size of the armed forces, with the number of personnel declining from over 200,000 in 2000, to around 137,000 by 2025.”
We discover that hundreds of thousands of pounds have been wasted on illegals, as Zia points out:
Well, what we found once again is that while British people are being told there’s no money left, services are being cut, they can struggle to get GP [doctors’] appointments, parks are being closed, etc. There appears to be infinite money for citizens of foreign countries, including and especially people who come to the country illegally. So for example this Kent County Council—but it’s writ large across multiple councils—we take illegal migrants and asylum seekers to safari parks on the taxpayers’ dime: trampolining, skateboarding, and the circus…I’m not making this up…
And do you know what makes people so angry? We gave all of this to the Daily Mail who verified all of it: the British people are struggling. They’re struggling to find the time and the money.…Spending taxpayers’ money [for] asylum seekers on Domino’s [pizza] and McDonald’s.
And so therefore, there’s this sense of utter betrayal. I’ve said—and all that’s happened since then is that my conviction on this has increased—which is that if some formidable foreign adversary had somehow gotten some ‘Manchurian candidate’ in or had some ability to control the apparatus of the British state without any of us knowing, and their goal was to destroy the country slowly: because if they did it too quickly, it might be too obvious, then it’s really difficult to see how they’d have made decisions different to everyone who’s been sitting around the cabinet table over the last 15 years.”

More from the ongoing protests against illegals courtesy of Tousi TV:
We’re coming to you guys there from Canary Wharf in East London where a a group of local residents have come outside the Britannia International Hotel to protest against the migrant hotel and the government policies (28th July 2025)—
[Asian British citizen (my italics):]
Basically, I feel it’s very unfair and the people of this country, some of them have no food, no jobs. They are homeless. And these people are illegal here. They’re getting this luxury residence. And that’s why I’m here. My granddad died for this country in World War II. He was here, we all, they all worked hard to build this country, we were legally here.
They built this country and these people [illegals] get everything free and it boils my blood. It’s unfair, unjust. Government is closing their eyes, you know. They’re turning their eyes blind. Every government, and it’s Labor obviously and the Tories; they’re all lying and it’s a waste of taxpayers’ money. And that’s why I’m here. I will protest and I’ll protest and protest. Thank you.
[Another Asian Britisher]:
Illegal migrants for some time now, it’s alarming to see these boats filled with young men, and no children. The connection with the criminal gangs is I think quite a strong one; above all what really gets me is the fact that a lot of these people are not grateful. That’s a key point isn’t it? I think you know gratitude is so important. It’s good to see all these good people standing up for themselves because the British are very bad about being proud of their country. I’m so grateful to this country. I think this country is terrific. It’s the best country in the world, generous, it’s given the world so much. Okay, you can talk about the evils of imperialism and all that kind of stuff but on balance there is so much good that’s happened. You know Britain has introduced modernity to the world, industrial revolution, and the English language. It is an amazing country but the British have have lost a sense of pride in their identity…
And I’m not a Christian. I’m a Buddhist, but I’m sad to see that the British are no longer believing in Christianity. Well, definitely the Establishment doesn’t anymore believe in British Christianity.
[From another British citizen whose family was from Nigeria]:
Let me hit the nail. This country was built on a Christian foundation…You’re going to come here and then you want to start breaking the laws. You want to take laws into your hands…Look, I’m originally from Nigeria, but I was born here. But you can’t come to Nigeria and then you say, ‘Oh, I want to impose my law.’ No way. Get what I’m saying? I want to impose my law in your country. No, it doesn’t work that way. Now this country was built on the Christian foundation but we get Christians persecuted on the streets. Oh yes. Yeah. We are persecuted on the streets…
One thing that I want to say to us is we can fight this battle. What’s going on is a spiritual war. We can fight it, but we cannot fight it without God fighting for us. Look, can I tell you one thing you don’t know? You see this migrant crisis? I don’t think it’s going to end anytime soon.
This injustice, blatant evisceration of the British nation and brazen treachery by the Establishment is leading towards a disturbing outcome. As David Betz, Professor of War in the Modern World in the Department of War Studies, King’s College London says in “Are We Headed for Civil War?”:
There is a gigantic ball of political energy that is building up. The spark is just intrinsically unpredictable. If we had to list factors in order, multiculturalism would be at the top and if we were to put some kind of ranking on them, it’s like 90% of people who either express the view or nod at the view that we want our country back, and [there are] the people who want you to shut up. So there’s this sense on the part of the formerly dominant majority that they are losing this status which impels them, as fear usually does to act up…
And that’s what I urge people to concentrate on: what are the policies? What are the things that have contributed to the existence of all this ‘tinder’, all of that…All that frustrated political energy in the system. That’s the real problem. And that didn’t come overnight. That took a long time to build. And whether it was accidental or deliberate, the fact of the matter is there is a gigantic ball of political energy.
The British and much of Europe have been walking into the debacle of the illegals invasion with their eyes wide shut.
As Bataille would say the entire illegals fiasco showcases the expenditure of national and public resources on anyone except the people who help built those resources in Britain. All the efforts of generations who struggled through wars and economic hardship are being frittered away, and wasted disgracefully on illegals. This throwing away of resources is a criminal act: Starmer’s regime prefers not to channel help to underprivileged citizens; they skimp over fuel subsidies for the elderly; the National Health System is overburdened; there is a shortage of policing which has enhanced criminal activity—yet, unvetted illegals are allowed in to strain resources further and impose hardship on citizens. To add insult gleefully to injury, the people being allowed in carry with them violence, crime, and imposition of their own values and practices on others. The heinous Rotherham scandal saw the sacrifice of over a thousand children and young girls who were abused and trapped into sex trafficking. It was only after much public outrage, brave individuals speaking up and uncovering what the government did not want known that a few arrests were made. Some of the horrific acts perpetrated are detailed by the Crown Prosecution Service.
The energy of people who are denied their sovereignty in their own country and witness its undeniable decline boosted by unchecked spending on illegals such as emplacing them in luxury hotels—thereby denying paying customers who would have occupied those rooms, and additionally damaging the tourist trade—who are then offered police protection while citizens are arrested for speaking up: indeed it is what David Betz means when he says a “gigantic ball of political energy” is building up, and it has to be expended one way or another. The potential for some form of expending in terms of internal conflict in Britain is rising; the legacy media is not reporting accurately on the increasingly dire situation. The fact is that the British economy is being stretched to its limits through an extraordinarily imbalanced form of spending on anything but the resilience of the country.
The high influx of men among illegals coming in poses a genuine threat by potentially facilitating rising crime as has been the case in recent times. What skills do such unvetted illegals bring into Britain and upon whom Britain’s wealth is being lavished on? It is claimed that one-in-three people, not illegals, have been subject to phone theft in London. But the threat is far greater than is implied by the high intake of men among illegals; UK’s Home Office states (graphic above) that according to demographics of small boat crossers since 2018: 88% of the illegals are men. Of that proportion of males: only 6% are aged 40 and over. The biggest group coming in are those aged 18-24 (31%) and ones aged 25-39 (37 %). These are the prime ages for military service and operations, or paramilitary activity. What is the difference between an armed invasion and those who come in uninvited or unvetted on rubber dinghies and are spread throughout the land; those who come in by stealth or openly under bizarre asylum claims (and what is the distinction between that and illegal immigration): it seems that anyone who comes in by whatever means is an ‘asylum seeker’. Yet these are principally men who are capable of military action; they only have to settle in and arm themselves.[3] The truth is that this is called infiltration: it is nothing new but a mode of operation well known through the ages best exemplified by the Trojan Horse of the Illiad; those who are familiar with what happened after the enemies entered the gates are aware of what letting down your guard means. The gullible who allow the enemy into their midst do not meet a good end. And, surely, it is worse when the enemy is allowed in knowingly.
Look at recent history, it seems to me that many times the biggest purveyor of misinformation and disinformation is the government…The idea that you’re going to go after political speech…We don’t want harmful material getting to kids. But there’s a big difference between that and political speech, and criticizing the government for goodness sake. So we’re very concerned about that and that’s why we’re here.
US Congressman Jim Jordan, Chairman of the US House Committee on the Judiciary in London, July 2025
The UK has been infiltrated openly and abetted fully by much of its key government figures for years. This infiltration is hidden in plain sight: it is called assisting ‘asylum seekers’. The UK illegals have a growing base among the local population who will in turn consist of those settled in illegally like them too: they will provide the support for what they have to do in the name of the ‘defence’ of their beliefs, religion or culture—when the time comes. There is nothing far-fetched about it. An analogy: much of the community of the vicious offenders and sexual predators from the Rotherham gang were supported by their own who also covered up for them. Meanwhile, the Starmer regime is instituting censorship laws to stymie criticism of illegals and the government; which is why as of 30th July 2025 just as Trump leaves the UK, a US congressional team of three arrived precisely to acquire first-hand knowledge of the impending Starmer clampdown on free speech (see “UK creates 1984-like police unit to monitor social media posts”).[4]
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
Plato (428/427 BC-348/347 BC)
There are claims that the (erstwhile) surreptitious Afghan infiltration via governmental help may include Taliban members who killed British forces in the Afghan conflict several years ago.[5] The question is why is this happening? It is easy to see why Zia Yusuf states that the situation in Britain gives the sense that a ‘Manchurian candidate’ (or more) is at the highest echelon and “had some ability to control the apparatus of the British state without any of us knowing, and their goal was to destroy the country slowly.” The Manchurian candidate referred to is based on the psychological-political thriller (novel and films; the 1962 movie is the best), i.e., someone “who is not loyal to, or who harms, their own country or political party because they are under the control or influence of another country or party”. However, the situation is similar to the Biden-Harris ‘open border’ policy that led to a similar disaster in the US (but countered effectively so far by Trump). Similar catastrophic influx of illegals are faced by Europe (which has a version of an ‘open border’ policy disguised as helping ‘asylum seekers’) though some European states have exercised leadership in stopping the inflow. Like the US, the border illegals and Channel crossers have brought the potential and actual war zones from their own lands into the new lands they have landed in; they are also enshrining Third World values and mindsets into their host countries, not uplifting them. The architects of these schemes are recreating the Middle East in the West: the calculated import of conflict onto their own shores. Parts of Britain are already reminiscent of the Middle East and the Third World.
I believe in absolute truth claims and it’s absolutely wrong and bad when a society stops having kids to replace their own population and then you have to import the Third World and you become the Third World…The difference is when we get our way we’ll still have a country [the US], and your country [Britain] will be a Third World hell hole.”
Charlie Kirk, Founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, to a pro-Hamas anti-Trump crowd at the Cambridge Union, May 19, 2025
Underpinning the worsening crisis in Britain is the reality that is finally being confronted in the open: the illegals invasion is transforming into a battle betwixt what it represents and Judeo-Christian (Western) civilisation. The freedom, tolerance, and openness that is traditionally embodied in the Judeo-Christian value system of the west—one that ultimately spread a sense of enlightenment, education, modernisation and socio-economic advancement—is being curtailed and harmed by the countering ideology of intolerance, harshness; lack of enlightenment in not supporting critical thinking but blind obedience; brutal treatment of those who oppose it, the glorified use of violence; and the antithesis to modernity and anything that would imply genuine progress. Debate and open discussion is stifled, censorship and mindlessness demanded.
The UK is morphing swiftly into a state of self-flagellation and self-inflicted wounds by not acknowledging widely that as its local population fails to replace itself adequately, they have growing numbers of those who will beat them in the population game, and unabashedly so. Migration into the UK last year alone was over 700,000 the second highest since 2023’s 906,000 people almost entirely due to illegals welcomed in (or what is termed ‘mass immigration’ as well): these are the highest figures for Britain since 1949; this has nothing to do with natural replacement of the population but a sudden importing of people (mostly unvetted) who refuse to assimilate or adapt but expect everyone else to adjust to them. Recent British governments have allowed the enemy into the land and have been perpetuating economic violence, stress and trauma upon its own youth, women folk, elderly, and all other citizens and legal residents: particularly those who undergo the daily grind to make ends meet.[6] Britain is going through wilful systemic punishment parallel to that inflicted upon the Americans by the Biden regime (the effects remain), and much of Europe under the inauspicious spectre of the EU that haunts the European continent.
‘Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past…’
Orwell, 1984
The conscious spreading of illegals throughout British towns creates situations that are easier for the authorities to handle in case, as has been so, protests erupt frequently. It is part of a divide and conquer strategy that also ensures weaker resistance forming as opposed to what occurs at major cities. Concentrations of illegals in a few places will lead to stronger nodes of resistance. Counter protests are also formed to resist efforts of patriots and those who have genuine concern over the harmful influences arriving into their communities. Why would people bother spending their time to protest in support of illegals and ‘asylum seekers’ against their own people and country unless they are incentivised somehow? None of them are asking for better welfare for the British people or standing up to Starmer’s censorship: they are not protesting for this but carrying flags to support the non-existent, non-defined, borderless ‘state’ of Palestine; waving and flying the flag of that fictional entity. You are condemned for carrying the British flag in Britain—but it is acceptable to support Hamas and wave flags of so-called Palestine (and call for the annihilation of Israel). This is what is meant by normalising self-harm of the body politic: leaving even more scarring as Britain continues tragically to tear away at the memory, values, and shared experience of the nation.
This is also a way of eroding the British historical, social, and collective memory of their identity by destroying it with a value system that is antithetical to its core Judeo-Christian principles—that made what is known as Great Britain. But the Crusades of the past have been brought home and this time forces within are working clearly for the other side. It is at heart a spiritual war and that has to be recognised openly at some point. The cultural ideology and so-called religious doctrine that is meant to overwhelm the British is concomitant to authoritarianism and totalitarianism. Orwell adumbrated that the erosion of memory, especially the collective memory of a people, is the erosion of an identity that makes it easier for the enforcement of totalitarian control and absolute submission. It is also an unmitigated assault on Reason: the celebration of an ideology of death via embracement of a death drive, and enforcement of death on those who resist. [7]
Furthermore, this is all a massive waste and expenditure of resources as Battaile delineates. All the resources that are not productively used that can be expended as assistance for the citizenry is wasted on illegals; it is wasted in the counter protests that somehow materialise against patriots and clear thinking individuals, in policing action against protesting citizens, and protecting illegals. The British people are the accursed share who are meant for sacrifice and destruction so as to sustain others. There is nothing accidental in this. It is all quite diabolical. It is an upturning of common sense and order into disorder; an inversion of reason and perversion of rational national self-interest of a people into self-destruction; it is meant to demoralise the British people, break down resistance, crush the human spirit in standing up for what is right, deter integrity and force unquestioning submission; it is a form of hybrid, fifth generation and psychological warfare; it is an imposition of radical punishment.[8] Before the British know it—with assistance of the enemy within which is also comprised of the Manchurian candidates—they will find one day that even these lines from Blake will no longer have meaning, and eventually no longer exist in living memory:
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.
Cicero, Roman statesmen, orator, and writer

[3] As reported on 3rd August 2025, a bus load of men are being disembarked at 1am in the morning at the now notorious Britannia hotel (my italics):
This is the scene from the Britannia last night where hundreds of small boat migrants were bussed into the hotel under the cover of darkness. And let’s take a good look at the clientele, shall we? Men, all fighting age men, not a woman or child in sight. The time was around 1:00 a.m. Why did the Home Office move these men into the Britannia at 1:00 a.m.? What kind of time is that? Some may think it was done deliberately, perhaps to ensure it went without anybody noticing.
And by the way, the government’s doing this at the very same time they’re censoring migrant hotel footage on social media under the Online Safety Act. And what’s even worse is they’re doing it at the same time of setting up a so-called elite Home Office department to monitor social media looking for critics of migrant hotels.
This an example of modern day infiltration into a country. For a clearer video: this link.
[4] As Congressman Jim Jordan, Chairman of the US House Committee on the Judiciary who headed a delegation to London says:
Look at recent history, it seems to me many times the biggest purveyor of misinformation and disinformation is the government. I mean just look at during Covid in our country: just about everything the Biden administration told us turned out to be wrong. They told us the virus didn’t come from a lab. They told us that the vaccinated couldn’t get the the virus. They told us that the vaccinated couldn’t transmit the virus. They told us masks work. They told us six feet social distancing was based on science. They told us that this was the first virus in history where there’s no such thing as natural immunity.
So when you look at history typically it’s a government who gives all kinds of information that is not accurate. The idea that you’re going to go after political speech…We don’t want harmful material getting to kids. But that is there’s a big difference between that and political speech, and criticizing the government for goodness sake. So we’re very concerned about that and that’s why we’re here. That’s why we did our investigation last Congress to point out the attacks on free expression and on free speech.
[5] John Edwards from Bracknell Forest Council in Berkshire:
Now we learn Taliban members have come in. Taliban members. And according to the report, one Afghan official said that these people have British troops’ blood on their hands. It is difficult to think of a policy more scandalous than this when we’ve got homeless veterans; and now Taliban members put up in hotels at our expense.
[6] Talk Tv’s Kevin O’Sullivan:
Britain’s mad migration policies have triggered an alarming rise in the number of rapes and sexual assaults. Now foreign nationals make up 9.3 % of the population of this country, 23 % of sex crimes between 2021 and 2023 are committed by foreigners. So that’s very disproportionate. Meanwhile, men from abroad are 71% more likely to launch sexual assaults than British men.
New statistics have also revealed that 4 in 10 people charged with sex attacks in London since 2018 were foreigners. Now, this is despite the fact that foreign nationals make up less than a quarter of the capital city’s population, so an extremely disproportionate number of foreign men responsible for this rising number number of rape and sexual assaults.
Amy Gallagher from the New Culture Forum:
But we do know now definitely foreign nationals are far more likely to commit sexual offences than British people, and if you want to break that down: particularly people from a place like Afghanistan which [has] a very different culture to our own; an Islamic culture views women very differently. And it’s good that more and more people are speaking up about this, I mean it’s been a bit of a battle.
[7] From George Orwell’s 1984:
‘There is a Party slogan dealing with the control of the past,’ he said. ‘Repeat it, if you please.’
‘Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past,’ repeated Winston obediently.
‘Who controls the present controls the past,’ said O’Brien, nodding his head with slow approval. ‘Is it your opinion, Winston, that the past has real existence?’…
‘In the mind. In human memories.’
‘In memory. Very well, then. We, the Party, control all records, and we control all memories. Then we control the past, do we not?’…
‘You [Winston Smith] are here because you have failed in humility, in self-discipline. You would not make the act of submission which is the price of sanity. You preferred to be a lunatic, a minority of one.
