An increasingly bloody battle for the soul of the leftwing Your Party set up by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana will come to a conclusion on Thursday, when the results of its leadership election will be announced.
The complete and total incompetence of the British left – the incapacity to do anything at all – means that this doesn’t matter in the slightest. It’s as important as the recent merger between the CPGB and CPGB (Marxist-Leninist). Or the reason for their split, whichever. And the proof of the importance of that is that no one but other tankies knows which is true, merger or split, and no one at all knows why.
The complete and total incompetence of the British left – the incapacity to do anything at all
TBH I’d say that the British Left’s Long March through the institutions has been remarkably successful…
I’m not convinced that’s because their cunning plans succeeded.
It seems more that those more on the right found better things to do than faff around in an increasingly navel-gazing public sector, and abandoned the field to them.
Then it reached a tipping point, and became self-perpetuating.
Mass immigration
Colossal public spending.
70 year high taxation.
Largest ever public sector.
Cultural Marxism/woke infesting the public and private sector.
A huge client state hanging off the taxpayer’s sore teat.
That looks like success to me.
Don’t forget the church.
I’m not saying they’ve not succeeded. I’m saying their success isn’t a sign of the Left’s competence, but rather that the rest of us have abandoned those spaces to them.
It’s not that the Left are evil geniuses following Alinsky’s playbook, it’s just that (for reasons that were good at the time) we made it too easy for them.
“It seems more that those more on the right found better things to do than faff around in an increasingly navel-gazing public sector, and abandoned the field to them.”
A lot of those institutions are mostly redundant, worthless, replaced by other things.
They’re all over the history departments in universities, but so what? You can go and buy history books, debate history on places like Reddit. Why would you spend £30K and 3 years studying it when you can do that for almost nothing.
Museums? Woke infested, but again, books, internet as sources of knowledge.
Modern art? Total lefty trash. But the real modern art is at the multiplex cinema. You don’t need to go and look at things on walls any longer.
BBC? Woke, but we’ve got Netflix, YouTube, Amazon now.
The bits of the public sector that actually matter are not lefty. Like the biomed department at university. Or the people that fix street lights. They still vote Labour to get bigger pay rises but they aren’t mental. They can’t be because this stuff matters.
Its a version of eventually socialists/communists run out of other people’s money.
Of course they then go after the new organisations cf Ofcom classifying Netflix and other streaming organisations as being part of their empire of control.
Ofcom is a total irrelevance now. It’s 95+% a PR operation. Classifying Netflix? Are they showing bumfights? Porn? The stuff that Gazan kids get told about Jews? No, it’s normie stuff. The customers of Netflix want normie stuff.
Netflix will very occasionally accidentally slip up. Ofcom will fine them, issue press releases and the press will print it because everyone’s heard of Netflix. Dummies will think Ofcom are doing a good job.
Meanwhile, there’s 4Chan, pornhub, god knows what coming out of the middle east. Of course, Ofcom can’t do anything about those as they’re outside their jurisdiction.
I did my MA in History a few years ago. Vanity thing, I had no intention of using it professionally I just happened to have the time and money.
Waste of time and money, very poorly run course. Put me off doing a doctorate.
It can be very poorly run, because who cares? How many people die if history is taught badly, compared to say, gas boiler maintenance?
Badly taught history is at the core of attitudes of grievance and victimhood. See Palestine, Ireland, slavery etc etc – and the violence that follows from the badly taught history costs lives…
Fair point. But that’s less observable as an effect. Where a vet killing someone’s cat is.
I did a MA in Intelligence and International Relations for what I’d guess were similar reasons. Distance learning, so convenient and cheap, especially with Service Learning Credits, and well run with a feeling that the staff were interesting and engaged. (Staffordshire, for the record, who leant in hard on courses for the military)
One issue may have been that, as a class of military and similar, the lecturers were aware that we might have non-typical-for-uni viewpoints and even seemed to quite like that: for instance, my piece on “why is the Third World so poor?” was “because of massively endemic corruption”. Which the lecturer fiercely disagreed with – but gave me a distinction for properly arguing and evidencing it.
So what was his explanation, Jason? Racism, or had he an original angle?
Agreed. Successfully colonising the Tory Party and advancing any number of positions (on immigration, wokery etc) despite them having zero traction with the electorate suggests they are entirely competent.
Meanwhile the only victory for the British right in the past 30 years is the recent popularity of Reform.
Yarp. The Left may be amusingly fissile, but they’re deadly serious in all punting the ball in the same bloody direction, year after year.
That’s why they make long term wins, despite being unpopular most of the time.
The RW naturally prefers to be high IQ depressed losers who were right about everything. Mark Corrigans, all marinading in self-loathing and Ginsters. They need a charismatic leader to keep their spirits up, so they can be Johnson for a change instead.
Ginsters, eh? I used to enjoy them then the bloody fools started adding too much pepper.

Also, ultimately the Right loses because it believes in reciprocity. Rabid leftism is more of a character defect or an antisocial personality disorder than a philosophy. They have no moral difficulties in using their institutional power to unfairly exclude and harm you, but you still believe they should be allowed to vote.
I didn’t even know there WAS an ongoing leadership contest!
I didn’t even know there was ongoing leadership.
… and no one at all knows why.
“Only three men have ever understood the Schleswig-Holstein Question. One of them is dead, the second has gone mad, and I have forgotten it completely.”
Lord Palmerston (allegedly)
I watched a Danish drama about that on BBC4 once. I’m still no wiser and it wasn’t a flaw in the translation!
I don’t think anyone has identified the person who went mad. Prince Albert was the guy who died
Wasn’t it all Flashman’s fault?
I haven’t done the sums but when 98% of the world’s population live under a system where nasty thugs tell people what to think and how to behave, I think the Left have been rather successful
But with Restore Britain isn’t the right in danger of emulating them – all the meanwhile, the WEF and Globalist agenda continues.
This agenda is signed up to by practically every supranational institution in existence. And of course this comical party is completely signed up to it.
Restore, Repair, Reverse, Relapse and all the other right wing vanity parties can only help Labour and the Greens. It’s the splitter strategy previously tried on Donald Trump.
Lowe has form for this, previously pulling out as a Brexit party candidate at the last minute to throw an election to the Tories.
Idk about you blokes, but I only need to be ratfucked once by a guy before I stop trusting him.
Somebody needs to have a word in Elon Musk’s shell like. If he wants to help our country, he should stop giving money to our politicians. It only encourages them.
Yup, when Farage said, “It’s a political impossibility to deport hundreds of thousands of people. We simply can’t do it” I stopped trusting him. I also concluded that Reform winning a general election is of no importance whatsoever if they are to just repeat the indulgent negligence of the Tories. You might as well just have the Tories.
Add Reform to that bunch of Rs, Steve, and you should be able to see what I was warning about before the last election. Unless the factions of the right can come to some non-compete electoral arrangement (and subsequent Parliamentary alliance) then the sane patriot two-thirds will continue to be ruled by the batshit traitorous one-third.

Oh you couldn’t be more understandably wrong. It’s hugely important we get Reform over the line, that’s why Farage is muffing his lines at the minute. Love him, he’s a great campaigner, but not always the best at hitting the right lines first time because he does seem to struggle sometimes when under intense pressure. But, you can only pish with the cock you have, and Nige is our cock, duck. He’s trying to thread a needle here, folks, don’t heckle im. Westminster is a fortified estate. Reform is our battering ram.
Yes it was very foolish of Nigel to use that as an attack line against Renochpowell. No, it ain’t necessarily betrayal most foul, Trump has also waxed and waned in his rhetoric on immigration. Doesn’t matter because he appointed Stephen Miller.
Trust him? Agent Mulder to the white phone please. My brother in Christ, I would never ask you to trust him. Benefit of the doubt, maybe, based on his track record. Trust? Did you think Elim Garak from DS9 seemed like a straight shooter with upper management written all over him? Trust God. Everyone else pays cash up front.

Calm down, calm down. Chicken and a can of Coke?
Reform are the only RW party consistently polling in potential government forming territory. They are, in fact, still top of the pops. I am not thinking of voting Reform because I think they are going to magically fix everything. They’re just the strongest horse atm. We should back strong horses if we want to win anything?
PPS – the preference cascade is incomplete. Livin thru history mate.
I agree, Steve. One poll had Restore on 7% and Reform on 25%. That’s not good news, and Rupert Lowe is a plonker…
And have you ever heard of a football club owner/chairman who wasn’t an attention seeking wanker? (Only poor, badly mistreated Roman Abramovic. He only wanted to get his money away from Putin, and be valuable enough to the West to avoid sudden defenestration.)
Lowe – please correct me if I’m mistaken – seems more like the classic Premiershit FC wanker/bully/blowhard archetype, rather than the next Prime Minister of Great Britain and – thank God – Northern Ireland. He lacks judgement and bottom.
Earlier this month, a Your Party event at the Missing Sock, a hotel and venue in Cambridge, was packed.
Packed!
Google, what is the Missing Sock, Cambridge?
The Missing Sock is a unique, eclectic hotel and wedding venue located in Stow-cum-Quy, Cambridge (CB25 9AQ). It offers bespoke events for up to 150 guests
Kek.
Members had filed past the hookah hut and double-decker bus bar in the garden to fill a meeting room where Corbyn was ready to lay out his vision for the leftwing party, before elections to decide who would lead it.
Corbyn started speaking – and then the power cut out.
Fucking LOL.
I wonder if Spud’s little talk on Saturday will fare any better.
Does Ms Sultana have a raisin d’être?
Not currantly.
Your Party has a few fruits, and plenty of nuts.
An increasingly bloody battle for the soul of the leftwing Your Party
Cirrusly? No one believes the leftwing has a soul.
Interesting, but is there even a shred of evidence that “Your Party” has a soul? Or anything other than the traditional far left thirst for power and executing those who are seen today as impure?
