James Delingpole has written an excellent piece for Breitbart – succinctly summing up what I and I am sure many of you have been puzzling over given the bizarre policy decisions emanating from this “Conservative Government”, which appear to be far more Socialist than Conservative.
I believe this is worthy of further investigation.

| Delingpole: We Voted Boris; We Got Jeremy Corbyn
If only the Conservatives had made this a bit clearer during the general election we would all have had a much better idea what to do: sell the house, quit the job and move to another country because, clearly, Britain has no great post-Brexit future after all. www.breitbart.com |
Delingpole: We Voted Boris – We got Jeremy Corbyn
“If only the Conservatives had made this a bit clearer during the general election we would all have had a much better idea what to do: sell the house, quit the job and move to another country because, clearly, Britain has no great post-Brexit future after all.
I can’t believe I’m having to write Britain’s epitaph so soon after the joy and jubilation of Brexit Day but look at what Boris Johnson’s ‘Conservatives’ are offering a bemused nation:
Higher Taxes (Mansion tax, pensions raids, etc)
An explosion of grand, unaffordable and pointless infrastructure projects
A war on motorists
No more cooking or heating with gas
Elevation to the House of Lords for MPs who opposed Brexit
More green levies and regulationsHow is any of this nonsense materially different from the ‘fully automated luxury communism’ Britain would have experienced under Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour?
I don’t think it’s any exaggeration to say that Boris Johnson’s Tories are the most extreme left-wing Conservative administration in the party’s history.
Sure, if you want to, you can find many a squishy conservative in name only commentator explaining why free-market solutions aren’t the answer and why actually what Britain now needs is more government spending and more taxes to address social inequalities with a new kind of “Red Toryism”.
Under cover of Brexit and in the guise of reaching out to all those working classes voters in the Midlands and the North, the Conservatives are rolling out radical measures so aggressively Socialistic that it makes Tony Blair’s benighted era look like Margaret Thatcher’s heyday.
What it also needed, after the conservatism in name only of Cameron and May was some real conservatism.
How weird is it, for example, that after a decade under ‘Conservative’ rule, Britain now has the highest tax burden in over fifty years?
If Boris Johnson had one job — besides delivering Brexit — I’d say it was to put as many miles as possible between himself and the failed economic and sociopolitical models of his failed predecessors.
He should be looking at HS2 and going: “I would rather take an eternal vow of chastity than ever associate myself with that crappy idea dreamed up by chancer George Osborne and crazy fruit loop Andrew Adonis, one that has failed every conceivable cost-benefit analysis.”
He should be looking at CCHQ’s decision to censure Conservative MP Daniel Kawczynski for the ‘crime’ of attending a conservative conference and going: “This has got to stop. We cannot carry on doing the left’s work by attacking our own people for holding conservative views as we did so shamefully with Sir Roger Scruton.”
Instead, he seems to be going in the exact opposite direction.
Boris Johnson’s Conservatives are heading for disaster — and not even by accident. They’re actually deliberately, cheerfully setting a course for disaster and expecting us to applaud them for doing so because apparently — or so they seem to think – it’s what we all voted for.”
Analysis
Delingpole is bang on the money with his assessment of “Red Toryism” its predecessor was Tony Blair’s “Blue Labour”.
To understand what has been going on for decades I believe we have to realise No.10 are NOT setting policy- the policymaking DOES NOT emanate from the Prime Minister or indeed the party in power – once that has sunk in only then can we begin to understand why nothing changes whichever administration is elected – remember the Con/Lib Dem coalition how did that work out for the future of the Lib Dems?
It is my belief that Mark Sedwell and his (deep state) civil service work behind the scenes with higher authorities, at the top of that table is the UN (among others) – which are referred to collectively as the “International Community/International Rules Based Order. Treaties are routinely signed sealed and delivered without the people’s knowledge or consent and with no Parliamentary scrutiny or debate.
Britain is a fully signed up member of the UN Charter.
The UN Charter of 1945 is the Treaty of the UN acting as an intergovernmental organisation currently made up of 193 member states.
The mission and work of the UN are guided by the purposes and principles contained within its founding Charter, which articulates a commitment to uphold human rights of citizens and outlined a broad set of principles relating to achieving ‘higher standards of living’, addressing ‘economic, social, health, and related problems,’ and ‘universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all.
All members of the UN agree to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council – only the Security Council has the power to make decisions that member states are then obligated to implement under the UN Charter (unelected and unknown to us) – all members are bound by its articles. Just how much autonomy do National Governments possess under UN constraints?
Have we taken back control?
Questions need to be asked but will they be answered? – I won’t hold my breath!

I wrote my first article for Unity News Network on 30th December 2019, and I have been writing ever since – my library is now well in excess of 200 articles.
Alternative media is essential in these times of unprecedented censorship and mainstream bias, which has ramped up exponentially during the past 2 years. The overton window of “acceptable opinion” is growing every narrower.
Having a citizen’s log, cataloguing the twists and turns of life during these turbulent times is essential.
Thank you Unity News Network for allowing me a voice on your platform.
