The English Exist
This Week In Media | 29th July - 10th August, 2024
Elsie Dot Stancombe, Alice da Silva Aguiar and Bebe King were murdered in Southport on the 29th of July, by 17-year-old second-generation Rwandan immigrant, Axel Rudakabana.
Since then, England has erupted with protests against mass immigration, a legal privileging of Islam over the native population, and blatant two-tier policing.
We saw similar protests when an Algerian man stabbed children in Parnell Square, Dublin, in November 2023. The Irish protested mass immigration and censorship, toppling Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.
You can refresh your memory with this episode of Deprogrammed with ADF International barrister and Irish patriot, Lorcán Price.
Some of these protests have been seized upon by drunken yobs, who have committed criminal damage; or by looters, breaking into Lush or Greggs for body-scrub and sausage rolls.
On the Podcast of the Lotus Eaters, myself, Carl, and guest Andrew Gold covered the initial riots in Southport the day after — as well as the concurrent Southend machete riots, which were given comparatively little coverage, because the ethnic composition didn’t present an opportunity to demonise “the Far Right”.
On Tomlinson Talks last week, I spoke to journalist Jack Hadfield, who documented the original riots for The Publica — and had a tooth knocked out for his trouble.
He explained that many of those involved in the riots were locals, incensed by the murder and maiming of the girls at the Taylor Swift dance class, and that their attention was drawn to a mosque on the same road as the scheduled protests after an arrest coinciding with the vigil rumoured to be an Islamist terrorist intending on committing a second stabbing. (Which later turned out to not be the case, after the police charged the man arrested with carrying a switchblade.)
Subsequently, Prime Minister Keir Starmer made the political miscalculation of addressing the nation twice, to exaggerate the presence of an organised (and undefined) “Far Right”, while pledging to keep “communities” safe.
(“Communities” here is a synonym for imported non-White ethnic groups, immigrants, and Muslims — the latter of which he named, and pledged £29 million in emergency funding to.)
His declaration to deploy a “standing army” of police officers was taken to mean a declaration of war.
On who? Well, it was interpreted as being the white working class of Britain — hence the continued rioting exclusively in Labour heartlands.
He has since earned the nickname “Two-Tier Kier” — which has stuck ever since Elon Musk tweeted it out as a hashtag.
Starmer insists that the law is applied impartially, without favour.
This is a lie, and one need only look at a litany of recent examples — involving the Met Police, or Starmer himself — to refute it.
Helpfully, I listed them in the following segment for the Podcast of the Lotus Eaters:
After Islamic mobs — armed with blades, hunting English people, intimidating journalists, and attacking pubs and police lines — mobilised on the streets, calling themselves the “Muslim Defence League”, MPs past and present attempted to defend or downplay their behaviour.
Jess Phillips MP insisted that these gangs were simply defending themselves from the EDL — a group defunct since being disbanded in 2013. She used softer language for this Muslim militia than when calling for Liz Truss’ expulsion from the Conservative Party for being interviewed by me in May.
Former Labour MP and MEP, Siôn Simon, decided to accuse me live on GB News of lying about the video footage of these armed Muslim militias.
Michelle Dewberry decided to set him straight by playing the evidence; which prompted him to shift his position to arguing that it wasn’t happening at scale, and to accuse me of having “an agenda” for denouncing all acts of property damage and attacks on innocent persons.
You can watch a clip of the alarming exchange for yourself here:
The debate proved popular on X, with several clips of me expressing confusion at Simon’s dishonesty garnering hundreds of thousands of views.
The most shocking moment was when Simon denied the existence of the English as a distinct ethnic group
He accused me of being “anti-Britain” and “a racist” for drawing a distinction between the Muslim mobs and anti-migrant protestors who were predominantly white English, waving the English flag.
Pointing out that you can be born in the British Isles while not sharing an ancestral connection with the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic host populations is not racist, or even a statement which has any moral weight. It is simply a statement of fact.
The English exist — as an ethnic group, with a tie to a particular land, and with an inherited and distinct culture.
Simon’s conceptualisation of a collective “British” identity — which only fragments into Welsh, Scottish, and Irish when germane to scoring cheap political points — is an American import. He conceives of Britain as an ideological project. It is a nation of “ideas”. The values he ascribes to said project are liberal, pluralistic, tolerant, multicultural, and represented by the institutions which espouse said message. By being illiberal, I'm "anti-British".
This is why the protests are being called “Far Right”.
To recognise them as a spontaneous, non-ideological act of anger by the indigenous populations of the United Kingdom, about being ignored by politicians, insulted by the media, and culturally and demographically displaced by world-historical levels of mass immigration, would be for those same Blair-Brown-Cameron-May-Jonshon-and-Sunak-era politicians to admit fault.
Instead, they deny the English a right to their inherited homeland; reconceive of Britain as a purely values-based nation and identity; redefine those values to be egalitarian and universal; and thus redefine imported outsiders as “more British” than those complaining about the quantity or cultural difference.
They label critics “Far Right” to deprive them of consideration as being their countrymen, and undercut their position of moral legitimacy to feel aggrieved by never having been asked about unprecedented levels of immigration.
The Muslim mobs are explicitly ideological — galvanised by a shared religion, and doctrine of desired law and custom. The “counterprotestors” are comprised of astroturfed, state-funded ideological groups — such as Stand Up To Racism and the Socialist Workers Party.
Nevertheless, Britain’s national newspapers across the political spectrum praised these manufactured gatherings as “united Britain” rejecting “the Far Right”.
(It is worth noting that the Home Office’s subdivision for narrative control and manipulating public perception after terror attacks, RICU, and the UK Cabinet Office, have dictated newspaper front pages throughout crises, like terror attacks and COVID-19.)
If you want a more authentic reaction to the riots, all seven of our regular hosts at the Lotus Eaters gathered for a roundtable on the riots last Monday. The full discussion is behind the paywall at LotusEaters.com — but two preview clips are available to entice you to sign up to watch the rest, here:
While Reform UK’s response to the civil unrest has been clear and forthright, the Conservative Party’s has been characteristically weak.
My belief that they incapable of course-correcting, and exist solely to contain momentum driving an actual rightward shift, has been vindicated by the leadership election.
After Suella Braverman was publicly shamed out of her chance to tell her Partry some much-needed truths, Kemi Badenoch is emerging as the clear frontrunner — with some MPs proposing Robert Jenrick head her off at the pass.
In a recent Tomlinson Talks, I explored the links between Badenoch and the shadowy cabal the likes of Nadine Dorries say exists within CCHQ. I found some longstanding ties between Michael Gove, James Forsyth, Munira Mirza, and Dougie Smith — all whom appear to be backing Badenoch, after orchestrating Sunak’s installation into 10 Downing Street.

For an explanation as to why I was removed from the Conservative Party, you can read my latest essay for The European Conservative.
What were my crimes? Tweets suggesting conditional support for Reform UK’s policies; tweets criticising the hostility of LGBT activists towards the family unit; tweets condemning the chemical castration of children by transgender ideology; and a joke about the undesirable cultural practices of unassimilated immigrants.
Yes, you read that right. I was removed from the Conservative Party for stating that we should not chemically castrate children.
[…]
So it seems, for the Conservative Party, selecting sex offenders as MPs, populating party headquarters with men who made their living hosting orgies in stately homes, and doing nothing about the class-A drug use at its annual conference was just fine. Saying that we shouldn’t sterilise children was a step too far.
Following this, I spoke to former Conservative MP, Dame Andrea Jenkyns, about:
where the blame lies for the discontent with the political system that inspired the riots;
whether or not Kemi Badenoch is, as she accused, a “party stooge”;
why she continues to defend Priti Patel and Boris Johnson after the disastrous policies of mass immigration and COVID lockdowns;
and why a Reform and Conservative Party electoral pact never emerged
You can watch the full episode of Tomlinson Talks, and every other episode, live from 15:00 PM (UK time) on Wednesday, only on LotusEaters.com.
The general election saw the stay-at-home voter become the largest constituency up for grabs come 2029 for precisely the reasons I put to Dame Andrea in our interview.
While many say “We can’t vote our way out of this” — and sometimes, it certainly feels that bleak — we should still encourage an existing or aspiring politician to be courageous enough to fix the problems within their remit.
Though the above clip was criticised by those who, like me, are disenfranchised, and who disbelieve in democracy as it currently operates against the expressed wishes of the voting public, I spoke in such a manner to encourage any potential politician watching (especially those who follow me on X…) to occupy the vacuum of leader-in-waiting.
The example I used of El Salvador is fitting, as although their murder rate and economic privation were significantly worse than ours when they decided to elect beloved President Nayib Bukele, Britain is certainly trending in that direction — and needs a man with similar resolve to set it right.
