Britain has become a cautionary tale for what happens when you let globalist elites and profoundly anti-West and anti-Christian forces colonize your country.
The U.S., Canada, and others should take note.
Take the U.K.’s (now former) Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Minister, Angela Rayner.
Hailed as a “working class hero,” she spent her entire life grifting off the public purse while ascending the Labour leadership ladder to the #2 position in the country.
Rayner’s job was supposedly to help fix the housing crisis.
Instead, she did some funky housing fraud instead.
According to the news, her lawyers fudged the value of her house by £162,000 — magically making it “worth” roughly double the rest of the neighborhood, and despite falling house prices — which allowed her to sell a 25% share to her disabled son’s trust for £162,000.
She then bought a million-dollar seaside flat and underpaid tax on it to the tune of £40,000, by falsely claiming it was her primary residence… despite it being 237 miles from her family and the constituency she represents.
Bye.
But don’t worry — she still gets a £17,000 ministerial payout before going back to her £80+K MP salary.
The worst thing about this whole sordid tale is that both she and the Prime Minister are still upholding the lie that she “received bad advice,” blaming her lawyers. Her lawyers deny providing the tax advice.
So, if you think about it for two seconds…
If Rayner acted knowingly and therefore malevolently, she shouldn’t be the Deputy PM.
If Rayner genuinely didn’t know, then she is genuinely incompetent; she shouldn’t be the Deputy PM.
But everyone — literally everyone — knows she is lying. She lied about her principal residence and she lied about the value of her home.
The fact that the Prime Minister maintains her lies tells you everything you need to know about his character.
And when the PM has a rotten character, you end up recruiting rotten people…
First, there’s the attention-seeking Louise Haigh, narcissistically catching the attention of cameras by standing front and center in the House of Commons with her shock-and-awe outfits and hairstyles.
She was the Transport minister for about five seconds before it emerged that she had pleaded guilty to fraud by false representation.
Bye.
Then there’s Keir Starmer’s (now former) Business minister, who claimed to be a solicitor… but it now turns out that he was never a solicitor.
(He worked as a trainee solicitor, but never completed his solicitor training.)
He now claims it was an “administrative error.”
Bye.
Then there’s Tulip Siddiq, a Bangladeshi Muslim and the (now former) minister for corruption…
…surely you know where this is going…
But she was ousted for corruption, including being named in an investigation alleging embezzlement of up to £3.9 billion.
Bye.
How about the minister for homelessness?
Oh shoot.
Rushanara Ali (another Bangladeshi Muslim) is a landlord with multiple units…
…who got caught making people homeless so she could jack rents.
Bye.
Then there’s Jess Phillips, the (now former) Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls.
This one really hurts.
She recently told the House of Commons that she knew all about police complicity in the Pakistani-Muslim rape gangs, yet resisted a national inquiry.
The woman in charge of protecting women was protecting their rapists.
Bye.
Then there’s “Rachel from Accounts.”
Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance minister), claimed on LinkedIn that she was a “Bank of England economist.”
There’s only one problem with that:
She was in customer service.
So the woman in charge of the entire nation’s finances lied about her role at the central bank.
Again, just an “administrative error.”
And let’s not forget about all the freebies/handouts she’s accepted, the cutting of winter fuel payments to millions of old people, and the donor influence allegations linked to Labour Together’s dark money fund.
She hasn’t been sacked yet, but considering her junior minister sister just got fired by Starmer, it looks like she could be on her way out the door soon.
Surely Starmer will put people with better character in place now, right?
LOL.
Yeah, no.
The majority of the U.K. wants mass deportation, particularly of the Pakistani-Muslim rape gangs.
So who does he put in charge of immigration?
Shabana Mahmood.
A Pakistani Muslim.
You can’t make this stuff up.
No matter what side of this issue you stand on, surely we can all agree that it is political suicide to put a Pakistani Muslim in charge of British immigration when the majority of British voters want an end to the immigration of Pakistani Muslims into Britain.
Then there’s Ed Miliband, the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero.
The millionaire who flies around on private jets.
I could go on all day.
Nearly every single member of Starmer’s administration has a poison pill that makes them completely unfit for public office.
And for many, quite fit for a jail cell.
Then there’s David Lammy, the new Deputy Prime Minister.
#2 name in the nation.
Secretary of State for Justice.
The same dude who accepted $20,000 worth of Taylor Swift concert tickets.
An African with dual nationality who is this very week is arguing in Parliament that Britian should cede a British sovereign territory to an African nation.
This is Nationhood 101: Ministers shouldn’t be allowed to be dual nationals, nor should people be allowed to work in areas where their heritage creates obvious conflicts of interest.
Let’s not forget he also mocked the American president with assassination references, called Tories Nazis, refused to seize frozen Russian assets as Foreign Secretary, said it only counts as genocide if millions die, and — this is real — went on a game show and claimed Marie Antoinette won a Nobel Prize.
He has no consistent principles aside from “climb the ladder.”
And if Keir Starmer dies tomorrow, David Lammy runs the country.
So, what’s the verdict? Does character matter in politics?
The answer is, sadly, a hard no!
No, absolutely not, character doesn’t matter in the least if your goal is to succeed in public office in 2025.
Not character.
Not competence.
Just sycophantic allegiance to the party boss.
That, and not getting caught.
As long-time readers know, I love justice, and therefore, I have a serious hatred for and physical revulsion toward corruption and the abuse of power, particularly with economics.
I am sick and tired of politicians with such cancerous characters.
Why are all our politicians so rubbish?
It comes down to three main things:
1. The establishment corporatocracy wants it that way
Politicians, political parties, and governments are simply tools wielded by hyper-rich globalist elites to extract maximal work and profits from the masses. It’s really that simple. They have the money and media power to keep real reformers out of the public conversation and out of power.
Everything — even nations and human wellbeing — must be sacrificed on the altar of shareholder profit.
2. The nature of people who seek power
Aristotle was right — we should never give power to people who seek power.
Parliaments and Congresses, by definition, only contain power-seekers.
So the establishment makes a deal with such people — we’ll give you power if you do what we say.
Promise the people everything, then leave them baffled when you do the exact opposite once we put you in power.
Cut taxes for us, the hyper-rich.
Slash services and benefits, but make people keep paying for them.
Cover the difference by borrowing (at interest) from us and by selling public assets to us for pennies on the dollar.
3. Bad beliefs
Bad beliefs create bad people.
The people in high office believe terrible things.
Most don’t believe in God.
Even fewer believe Christlikeness should be their highest aim.
They have little to no interest in Imago Dei theology — that human beings actually matter because they are created in the image of God.
There’s no place in their rubric for love (which is expressed as self-sacrifice, which is something they can’t fathom).
All politicians care about is maintaining “power.”
All the elites care about is keeping control of the real power so they can extract maximal wealth from everyone else.
That’s the game.
That’s why character matters in politics.
The worse a politician’s character is, the better that politician serves the interests of their true constituents — the richest sociopaths in human history.
The world can’t (yet) see it in 2025, but we need leaders with Christlike character.
Otherwise, it’s just more of the same corruption, red blue, blue red, red blue.
