There’s a YouTube channel, ‘Wandering Turnip’ which I watch to chart just how bad things in Britain have gotten. The hollowing out of once great cities is unbearable to see. Turnip visited Newcastle earlier this year, and walked around a shopping centre called Eldon Gardens. The entire shopping centre had been abandoned. It reminded me of the shopping mall from George Romero’s 1978 classic horror film ‘Dawn of the Dead’. Except there weren’t even any zombies. ‘Dawn of the Dead’ was, of course, a satire on modern consumerism. I’ve no idea how you’d make an equivalent satire about online shopping. Online shopping is the obvious culprit for the decline in city centres but it’s part of a far greater malaise. Farage is right, there is ‘something going on’. I dare to hope that it is the fulfilment of Morrissey’s ‘Irish Blood, English Heart’ - ‘I’ve been dreaming of a time when/The English are sick to death of Labour and Tories…’

I watched that depressing video about Newcastle. It's a new trend on YouTube, even the decay is turned into video content.

Indeed. I commented on his video on Sheffield (where I lived for years), that it might be helpful to visit some town/city centres that have managed to avoid this decline, and look at why that might be. There still are some town centres that are alive.

Very bad, was doing some reading and watching of videos, basic premise is that we should reject the commodification of society completely, essentially the wisdom of 'Know your Worth' applies.

Decrepit city centers, the cost of labor and the property value makes it economically impossible to renovate and break even with a traditional business, like a tobacconist.

What is behind these costs? Inflation of people and the Eurodollar. Property is no longer to cultivate and live on, but to invest in.

We are left with soaring property prices and inversely, the rotting of physical buildings.

Thanks Morfoth. I didn't know that you worked in Oil and Gas. I'm in Oman just now, and I can observe a similar thing happening here, but in reverse and with some important, society-saving caveats.

There is the indigenous population here, and there "exotic" imports are McDonalds, Starbucks, YSL, Ray Ban, Mustang cars, Range Rovers, Golf, Bowling etc.

The local population partake of this, but manage to keep their own customs, dress codes and dominance in their own country.

All the taxis are driven by Omani's. They best jobs go to Omani's they are still called to prayer 4 times per day. They are generally a nice people, and I don't sense any hatred towards me, but rather an unspoken "thank you" for all these "exotic" items.

There are loads of Indians here soing the jobs that "Omanis don't want to do (lol)" but they are genuinely here to work and don't get any welfare benefits.

The country is ruled over by the Sultan, who balances skillfully the keeping of his countries traditions and "moving with the times".

To be honest, I'm jealous, because I know we could have this in Britain. Some alpha ethno-chad keeping our traditions but also "advancing" to keep up with any (life-improving) changes in technology.

Cold reality is hitting everyone in the face. Rampant crime, violence, disease, collapsing medical systems, and the gross and widespread degradation of the West is now glaringly obvious. Today, when the average person looks around, they realize that their children have no future in their native land. No amount of BBC or CNN programming can numb them to this realization anymore.

It's do or die.

Liberalism was always tyrannical and insane... it's just that until roughly 2013-2014, it had a vise-grip over the entire West's conscience and could therefore pretend to be the benevolent hegemon. Once the peoples of the West started rejecting Liberalism — which, by the way, includes the Most Loyal Conservative Opposition, whose role has been nothing more than to ensure Liberalism is being digested at a rate acceptable to the West's people — the mask came off. Now it doesn't pretend at all any more; like the narcissistic abuser, it's now burning down the West's house. "If I can't have you, no one will!"

The immigration flood is not limited to Britain... the Biden regime essentially blew open the southern border, and Canada is importing Africans and Indians in numbers equal to the U.S.'s legal intake, despite having only 1/8 the population. Western Europe and the Antipodes all seem to be in a similar boat. Ireland, formerly a virtue-signaling leftist Whitopia on the issue, is growing a "far right" in real time.

Extraordinariliy painful... but part of the needed process for getting rid of the insanity at long last.

Yes, the way this is happening across the West so suddenly deserves more attention.

Good post.

I think us Westerners need it. Most of our countries will devolve into civil war I now believe. Here in Britain we'll have to fight our way out. The Establishment seem to be genuinely trying to destroy the entire country.

On the “Antipodes”, in New Zealand, building consents for 2023 fallen to under 38,000 and population increase by migration for 2022/23 exceeds 128,000. Meanwhile, falling living standards, productivity, homeownership, and wealth has decreased inline with the continued loosening of immigration legislation post 1975.

Have been surprised by many of my normie friends who have started asking questions. I guess now people can see the physical effects of this suicidal (immigration) policy I'm quietly hopeful this may start many more acquiescent types questioning the occupation. Great take as always Morgoth. Currently wondering around the north pennines at the moment, beautiful part of the world.

I left England in the early 2010s, the time of the Telegraph comments section and Daniel Hannan. I thought then I was the only one who could see where things were heading. Now I understand there were others, we just had no community. This year I went back to my home town for the first time since 2015. It has become 'gentrified' and is now an English enclave fortified admist the swelling tide of immigration. I experienced exactly what Morgoth describes here about our people - a feeling of their rarity and preciousness. Their English accents, their silly ways, turns of phrases, social awkwardness, good heartedness. Of course I can't list everything that it means to be English. My point is, we are dwindling. But even now, in the local school, new generations of genuinely English boys and girls are growing up, not fully understanding the betrayal they have inherited. The regime seeks to stamp them out completely, but it will be a very long and painful process for, to quote Adam Smith, "There is a great deal of ruin in a nation". How right he was.

A lot of this election is comparable to 1997. A bunch of corrupt, amoral money grubbers held up to ridicule being replaced by a shyster lawyer. This time though, the lawyer’s team seem not to be as highly organised, coherent and together.

The next few years are going to be difficult, things will get worse, but the fight is definitely on and the appetite for it is increasingly growing at a rate that can’t be contained.

I'm up for it. I work with a lot of working class Scots and English, what I notice is that these subjects are spoken about more and more. The mention of London or Manchester is responded to with something like, "I feel like a stranger".

Another good thing I see is that any petty squabbles between the Scots and English are put aside. It's the same phenomenon as two brothers for example, who are constantly fighting at home, but, for example at school one of them is bukkied by someone, this outside enemy unites them and they come together and fight off the external threat.

"Somethings happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear...." The ruling classes' scheme to replace whites with compliant low IQ foreigners is colliding with reality... You can't run a modern country with a 3d world workforce....At some point, the whites will refuse to cooperate, and the whole country will grind to a halt...preferably sooner than later...

My thoughts exactly. Their brilliant plans are terrible. And I believe that was their plan. Two-thirds of Muslims in Britain are on the dole, for example.

And let's not forget the female timebomb. White ladies are being sent out to work and pay taxes, so not having kids, while non-white ladies sit at home on benefits producing lots of babies. A few brainwashed females around me have commented on this, much to my shock. Why am I at work while they sit in cafes with prams? Times are changing.

Yes, it's something I've pondered, that of importing mostly illiterate 3rd world criminal detritus who come here to do nothing. So what's the end-game I ask?

Widen the voter base but for what? if there's nobody working it doesn't matter who's in power that country collapses as the recently arrived parasite class starts to out number the working indigenous class the country is done.

GDP is the other (mainstream) excuse deployed, and as we now know from Liz Truss' interview on Lotuseaters the OBR held a gun to her head and told her unless she agreed to the numbers they would brief against her which they did and coup'd against her. But the problem with the GDP argument is we've imported 2.5m people in two years costing £18 bn and the GDP hasn't budged.

Incidently it's the same problem for UK elites using the NHS as the reason for the occupation, recruitment is up in all departments in some cases 40% and yet waiting times have got longer and neglence claims are up 15% according to the IFS.

From this I think the elites are starting to panic, rishis called a snap election, so has macron and apparently the Belgium PM has just stepped down. It appears to me that the wheels are coming off the project and the elites are all running for the exits. That or the Russian situation is getting harder to contain?

Yes, there is a similar change of rhetoric about immigration currently happening in Canada as well. We have taken in so many Indian immigrants in the last few years that it has become almost impossible to ignore the effects. When you combine exorbitant rates of immigration and DEI initiatives for potential employees, the practical effect is that white people have little opportunities to get well paying jobs, specifically young people. Our costs of living have skyrocketed, and we have essentially been told that anyone under 35 will most likely never be able to afford a home, and our country (which at one point was literally one of the safest places in the world) is now plagued with a non-stop rise in violent crime.

All this has contributed to a sudden and dramatic rise in anti-immigration sentiment and festered racial animosity. I now routinely hear things that even five years ago I would have thought impossible. The majority of Canadians are now against immigration, and yet the powers that are over us continue to bring more and more in at a record pace.

They have an established goal of increasing our population by over 60 million by 2100, and almost exclusively by mass immigration. Our economic growth is almost 100% fueled by immigration, and our housing costs are propped up by it.

Just like you said, this is clearly not sustainable. I don't know how our incompetent leaders believe they will be able to push this con for another 80 years when it is already on the brink of absolute disaster. I don't know exactly what the future holds, but all I do know is that this cannot go on forever.

Remember what they really fear is whites waking up and developing ethnic awareness. All the propaganda is about that. When that happens, numbers won't matter. Indians of all people understand this.

Across the Anglosphere there is this new reality dawning that “social cohesion” is eroding away. The narratives and chants of “tolerance” is goodness, we have always been “multicultural”, and “diversity is our strength” have lost their power to the point now they can be quietly smirked at or even openly mocked. Keeping the pathological luxury beliefs of the political class alive now requires evermore intense appeals (ie emotional blackmail) to the “goodness” of the general public. Therefore full strength gaslighting on the “conspiracy theory” of the Great Replacement and the existence of any “culture war” is the norm. In the UK, this now even requires rolling out the ultimate public policy solution to achieve social cohesion - National Service. But all of this is counter productive - especially NS - in a world where decades of political leadership has endorsed globalism, maligned the patriotism of the ethnic majority, derided borders, and is always silent on if the teenage citizenry will ever be able to buy a home or raise a family.

Expand full comment

All national service would do is reinforce the observation the imports have absolutely no concept of duty or service to anyone. Most are tribal. And tribes don't join national armies, even if it was a good idea.

That's what the Anglos are learning. We are unique. The police force we invented, the concept of duty to one's country and fellow countrymen, all of it us unusual, and totally absent in our replacements, including the current PM who will soon skip off to the colonies with his equally Indian wife and kids.

The tragedy is becoming a farce. And that will be hard to hide.

The bloom is off the rose. The terrible attitude of many new “immigrants” (read replacements) is also setting off native people’s awareness. In the 90’s, I remember a student who came to our school from Iraq. He loved soccer and tried to be everyone’s friend. Just a happy go lucky kid who seemed almost to study our tv shows to fit in better. These more recent arrivals have reached such critical mass (or come from caste/status obsessed cultures) that they brazenly wear their utter contempt for the native population. They’ll interrupt you, talk over you, try to take advantage of you, ask for favors, hire their cousins etc. “It’s all so tiresome.” It’s interesting to see the before and after of your friend who has the sense to realize it now at least. Let’s see it in the elections though.

And try to convert you.

Hard to escape the sense of inevitability about all this.

Where I grew up, in the capital during the 90's, the conditioning was constant and blatant.

The teachers were fully paid-up, card-carrying New Labourites and proud to admit as much. Tony the Messiah had come to preach the willing suspension of all reasonable doubt, and they were His devoted disciples, who would gallantly carry his message into a classroom filled with impressionable, young minds to shape the Britain of tomorrow.

One of my ethnic classmates would routinely play the race card if you were even slightly critical of his character or behaviour - to such a clownish degree that everyone else regarded it with mild amusement or mock contempt.

Another (a Greek, no less) would reflexively utter the name of a certain disgraced Tory politician as a means to instantly discredit any voice of opposition, as if the truth of that politician's blasphemy were self-evident. At the time, I doubted the sincerity of it, but now...?

Good stuff Morgoth, and oddly white-pilling.

I've been thinking a lot about this recently, how the tide is beginning to show the first signs of shifting slightly.

I will never fight a war for another country. But I've decided that if civil war ever comes to Britain, and sooner or later it will, then I will fight in whatever way I can.

Another excellent article Morgoth. It started with the occasional comment about black and white couples on tv adverts but

now, everybody I have spoken to over the last year cannot help but talk openly about the change that they have seen in my city of Hull. It has literally been like waking up in a foreign country. Everyone who needs health services has mentioned the increase in waiting times and the reduction in the quality of service. It is no longer just noticing; it has turned into a great concern for everyone and personally, I worry about how it will all play out.

I used to visit Hull a fair bit when I lived in Yorkshire, for work and taking my children to The Deep, after which we’d always go for an explore around the city. Some beautiful, decaying architecture - the old picture theatre on Beverley Road, many others. We could chart the decline every time we visited. The hollowing out of these once great cities breaks my heart.

Expand full comment

Hi Lady, I hope you are doing well. That theatre (bombed out during the war) is still there although behind bill boards. The council obviously don't know what to do with it. Mind you, they don't know what to do with a lot of things (except how to look after immigrants). Sadly the old town has many boarded up shops and is a shadow of its former self, although the architecture remains.

Hello there, hope you’re doing well. I’d read that it was going to be restored having been granted funding from the National Lottery https://bbc.com/news/uk-england-humber-67738767. It’s a wonderful old building with such a history.

I’m finally coming to the end of a long round of treatment for the brain tumour. Then there’s a break to allow the treatment to work/not work, then some MRI’s and we’ll see how things stand. Hopefully it has managed the problem for a while at least, which is about the best I can hope for. Take care, God bless.

Well, well, I did not know that. My fault for staying away from the news I suppose. Im sure it will be a relief at least to get to the end of this treatment I'm still praying for you. God bless you Lady.

Thanks so much for thinking of me, it means a very great deal.

Re. the video, it might work on some types of cancer in the body, I couldn’t say. It wouldn’t work on the type of brain tumour I have (GBM) as that is a malignant tumour of the central nervous system . These are extremely difficult to treat. Despite research and attempts to find effective treatments for GBM for years now, the progress is woeful. They are such aggressive tumours, usually located in very dangerous parts of the brain to reach and drug therapies can’t cross the blood brain barrier in sufficiently high levels to tackle them.

In that case I hope the recent treatment brings some good results. In the meantime I hope you are getting to spend quality time with your family and friends. Take care of yourself and God bless.

I have noticed a shift even here in the backwater of the northern United States. Most normies have noticed it and are speaking out about it. The sight of a hijab-clad woman lumbering down the sidewalk pushing a stroller is utterly bizarre and you have to be completely oblivious not to see how unnatural it is. Why are they here? At what cost were they shuttled half way round the world to sit in an apartment in the frozen north, raising their kids on our charity? It makes no sense until you realize that the entire point is to wash us away in a sea of brown and black.

One strange thing I've noticed is that the truly committed leftists have started discussing this dystopia as though it is a good thing. 20 years ago they'd never admit there was anything but an upside to mass immigration. But now it's as though they can't ignore the problems, thus they've received a firmware update to talk about us as deserving of being replaced and also how disconcerting it must be for the imported "migrants" to wind up in such preposterous locations. My girlfriend is far left and I was telling her about some Irish villages nearly doubling in size due to immigrants. I was expecting her to at least acknowledge how hard it must be for these villagers, how weird it would be to see them all at once! Little villages irrevocably changed. Her response, was how unfortunate it must be for the migrants! It's not like they want to live their, cut off from everything they know, etc. Truly the leftist philosophy is resilient against all logic.
