You know the country is in trouble when that august body of globalists, the United Nations, is chastising you. In a remarkable and uncommon outburst of common sense, the UN has told the UK to stop allowing criminals to choose their own gender after no fewer than 48 rapists decided they’d be better off in a women’s prison. I am not sure I understand their logic. If I were a rapist (do I need to add that I’m not?), the last thing I would want is to be surrounded by lots of angry women who are already criminals.

So, with the UK on the international naughty step and the admission over the weekend by the Defence Secretary that we have lost control of our borders, it is surely time that we put the running of our country out to tender. Perhaps the Chinese or the Saudis could come and run the place for us? After all, they don’t seem to have too much trouble at their borders, or to endorse ridiculously liberal attitudes towards blokes who one day are sticking their unwelcome genitals into young ladies and the next deciding that, after all, they are a woman.

There’s so much else that needs fixing. On one side of the English Channel, we have the French police all but loading illegal migrants onto boats and wishing them ‘bon voyage’, while at the other we seem utterly paralysed when it comes to getting rid of the blighters – even when they are demonstrably illegal. We have some who cannot be deported because of chicken nuggets; others because they are gay. The list of reasons wheeled out to prevent the judiciary doing their job is endless, and the most recent slap in the face to the UK taxpayer is a woman who can’t be sent back to whence she came because she has been here too long. I wonder whose fault that was?

The list of intersectional tomfoolery goes on. Pupils are being told that not all of the Vikings were white. Why? Is that supposed to endear us to them? Have any people of colour been consulted about now being included in the hordes of raping and pillaging Scandinavians who visited us during Saxon times and never left? Come to think about it, little has changed. History really does repeat itself. The only difference being that, back in Saxon times, we were at least prepared to put up a bit of a fight to defend our shores and our women.

Next up in the stupidity stakes is Bunzl, a major manufacturer of menstrual period products who now tell us that periods are not only for women. As anyone who is married with daughters knows, periods do have a devastating effect on the male psyche and dignity. But, somehow, I don’t think that is what Bunzl means.

I keep thinking – wrongly obviously – that someone up there with responsibility for our borders and for our laws must see that something is far wrong, but clearly not. As my local taxi driver to the station this morning said: “It seems quite simple to me. If someone breaks into your house, they did it illegally; they have broken the law. But if someone enters the country illegally, they are welcomed with open arms. It doesn’t make sense.” He is not wrong.

If a humble taxi driver – someone who recognised the need for legal migration to run the NHS, for example – can with such perspicacity, utter this common sense, why can’t our leading politicians? I speak to nobody, left or right of me politically, who agrees with what is going on, or who can make sense of the depth of madness into which we have sunk.

In the end, what we are witnessing is not a series of isolated policy failures, but a full-scale abdication of common sense and national responsibility. It is as if the machinery of government has been hijacked by a technocratic elite, more interested in policing pronouns and virtue-signalling than in defending the basic rights and dignity of its own citizens. We are told that change will come – perhaps with the next election, or the one after that – but why should we believe it? If the past is any guide, those who shout the loudest in opposition now will be the first to fold when the rewards of power come knocking. Until we see a fundamental shift in political will, a return to the values of self-respect and self-determination, we will remain adrift in a sea of policies that serve everyone but the British people.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
