I am loving the UK's steady slip into communism! How about you?
Meanwhile, sovereign debt stands at 100% of GDP (£3.00T), and increases by £14m every hour.
When will the madness end?

An ode to William Wilberforce (1759 – 1833).
Wilberforce arguably does not get the type of recognition he deserves. He is not as famous, or as well-known as Newton, Brunel or Turing, yet, his positive impact upon human history is impressive and inspirational.
A matriculant of St John's College, Cambridge, Wilberforce campaigned forcefully, and for many years, to end slavery within the British Empire. Due to the dominance of the Empire at the time, Wilberforce's campaigning accelerated the emancipation of slaves, worldwide.
Wilberforce was elected MP for Yorkshire at age 24 during the 1784 general election. He later worked with his friend William Pitt (former Prime Minister) to advance the cause of abolition, leading to the Abolition of Slave Trade Act 1807.
Interestingly, Wilberforce's life is taught and celebrated within Nigerian schools. His name will be very familiar to many educated Black people throughout the African diaspora. Yet, strangely, he is largely overlooked within the English school curriculum.
No matter your ethnicity, this Englishman should be held to the utmost regard. Wilberforce exemplifies why English and British historical excellence should be proudly celebrated, and it starts with telling stories like this.
I hope this excerpt brightens up your Monday morning. I wish you a safe and productive week.
William Wilberforce, a true Englishman.
Why do we (generally) never hear anything about migrants from Malta, Slovakia, Bhutan, Uruguay or Barbados in the news? These are all relatively smaller countries, with modest economies.
You do not hear about thousands of Bhutanese migrants travelling overseas for a better life. Why? Such countries have implemented successful public policy strategies based upon hard work, meaning their people would rather stay to enjoy the success of their own nations.
There is no reason why Sudan, Somalia, Morocco, Afghanistan and Pakistan could not achieve similar success. Yet, they do not. Such nations have failed to establish a successful public policy, evidenced by many of their inhabitants attempting to flee. Quite frankly, the British public SHOULD NOT bear the responsibility of another country's policy failures.
This just seems uncontroversial to me.
In 2026, there are plenty of examples of modest countries who have worked tirelessly and diligently to improve things for their own people (and hats off to them!) As a result, they enjoy peace, health, jobs and a stable economy.
Every nation has a responsibility to do exactly this.
Failure to do so is not the responsibility of another country, it is the responsibility of the people within that country. There is no excuse.
Am I missing something here?
Forgive me for this nihilistic post, but I am finished.
I just want to live in an *actually* conservative country. If you steal, you are imprisoned. If you are a young man, you work. If you are hardworking, you raise a family in a house.
I am laying my cards on the table to say that I was on the left. I was a Labour member card holder until Southport (God bless the victims, I pray hard for them). The murder of Rhiannon Whyte was harrowing and revealed to me that the Left have genuinely lost their minds.
Yet, I left the Left, primarily due to their inversion of meritocracy. Those who work hardest are punished; those who are lazy are rewarded. I joined Restore Britain in Spring 2026.
For context, I am a recent PhD graduate in Mathematics (Caltech, Harvard, Stanford but the UK versions). I have many PhD friends who just cannot get jobs here in the UK, and have moved to the Middle East for better opportunities.
Some of my primary concerns: prisoner early release, the Channel crisis, 1 million 16-24 year olds unemployed, £5M per day spent to accommodate asylum seekers, the attack on our Shires, Lammy's attack on the Magna Carta, cancellation of large infrastructure projects, UK debt rises by £4,000 PER SECOND. Most pressing of all: Lowe's rape gang inquiry is dismissed by many and is even a piece of satire to some. This is disgusting. Please let me know if I have missed anything.
It seems as if the Left purely exist to tear down the very structures, institutions, values that made our country successful and pleasant to live in. My hunch? The Left lack the intellectual rigour to form tangibly beneficial left-wing policies themselves (such as Reform's Deliveroo Act), as such, they resort to low hanging fruit of more illegals, more taxes and more 20mph zones.
I do not have any faith that the UK will solve any of these issues above, so I am looking to exit. I have but one question:
Thank you for reading, I look forward to discussing in the comments.
I wish you a safe and splendid weekend.
Best, Dr A.
Comment all your disgust, contempt and distain. Thank you.
Her course may be interesting (to some), but what does this have to do with seeking the truth veritas?
Further, I am 100% sure that there are qualified PhDs, postdocs and profs within the domain of what Kytsya discusses on her course. This seems strange to me.
What do you think about this?
