The Labour Party is Obviously Compromised
Britain's government continues to betray Britons
I’ve hitherto been pretty bored of discussions about reparations, because they are patently ridiculous. Nevertheless, some new information has changed my mind.
The Outer Hebrides, where Clan McNeill comes from, was invaded and annexed by Vikings in the 8th century. The islands remained part of the Norwegian Crown until being ceded to Scotland in 1266 at the Treaty of Perth. This is fantastic news, as it means I’ll be set to cash in when the reparations cheques arrive for Norwegian colonialism. After all, Norway is a much wealthier country than France (its SWF is almost $2tn), and I’m probably not going to profit much when Macron pays out for 1066.
I will also be seeking reparations from Westminster itself. In the 1609 Statutes of Iona, in an attempt to “civilise” the Hebridean “wild men” and suppress the indigenous culture, bards were banned from travelling between clans (a key part of preserving Gaelic traditions), and sons of clan chiefs were forced to be educated in the Lowlands, in cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow, or even further afield — sometimes as far as London. The British Crown hoped that these measures would undermine Gaelic traditions and language, and make the clansmen more loyal subjects.
The English crown even told the clans what to wear! Kilts, perceived as symbols of rebellion, were banned (as were bagpipes) in 1746 after the failed Jacobite Rebellion in 1745. Anyone caught wearing one would be thrown in prison for six months, and repeat offenders would be sentenced to seven years in labour camps in the colonies. After serving their sentence, convicts would never be allowed to return to The British Isles.
In 1747 the government doubled down, with the Heritable Jurisdictions Act abolishing the traditional powers that clan chiefs had. The autonomy that clan chiefs had over taxation, justice, and military action on their territories was removed, and judicial authority was transferred to the Crown.
So, if formerly-pink countries are going to claim reparations, surely I’m entitled to a chunk too — possibly even a larger chunk? I’m being facetious; Comrade Lammy’s proposals for reparations based on things that happened before any of us were born are preposterous and absurd. There’s no objectively fair way to universally mete out reparations, and no reason why any self respecting country would. These are the policy ideas of people who hate Britain, and want to undermine her.
And yet, the Foreign Secretary of Great Britain has made the case numerous times that Caribbean countries, which were first colonised by Spain, ought to be paid reparations by Britain.
“I’m afraid as Caribbean people we are not going to forget our history — we don’t just want to hear an apology, we want reparation.”
The most amazing part of the above quote isn’t even the demented idea itself, it’s that the Foreign Secretary, who is from Guyana, doesn’t seem to realise that Guyana is in South America, and not in the Caribbean.
Britain has done more than other country on the planet to abolish slavery, and ought to be applauded for it. The Slavery Abolition Act in 1833 isn’t a part of our history that ought to be disregarded and forgotten: at the time, it cost 40% of the government’s annual budget to implement, and the task was so enormous that the government had to take huge loans to finance it. These loans which were only fully paid off by the British taxpayer in 2015, meaning that every Britain alive today who paid taxes before 2015 has already been paying for the cost of abolishing slavery.
Britain abolished slavery in Guyana only 20 years after acquiring control of the country from the Netherlands at the treaty of London in 1814. Before that, Guyana had been subject to Dutch slavery for over 200 years. In a single generation, David Lammy’s ancestors would have witnessed the arrival of the British and the cessation of slavery. What if the British hadn’t intervened in Guyana’s fortunes?
On a serious note, why is our foreign secretary campaigning to impoverish Britain?
After trying to give away the Chagos Islands to Mauritius (who are thousands of miles away and never owned the islands anyway), other nations have recognised that we now have an idiot managing our foreign policy. Already, The Bahamas have reignited calls to secede from the Commonwealth.
Argentina has signalled that, since Britain is now just giving away territory for free, they want to have another pop at The Falklands. According to Buenos Aires’ Foreign Minister, Diana Mondino:
“With concrete actions and not empty rhetoric, we will recover full sovereignty over our Malvinas Islands.”
As someone who lived through the Falklands War, I asked my mother what she thought about Lammy’s cavalier approach to our overseas territories:
“What the hell is he doing? I think this is treason. We should shoot him. I can’t believe King Charles hasn’t got involved.”

Given that Guyana doesn’t appreciate British assistance, they’re currently struggling not to get annexed by their Venezuelan neighbours. The reason that Maduro is interested is because Guyana has found an insane amount of oil reserves that, if managed by a competent local authority, could reap huge rewards for the nation; unless the leadership in Guyana is significantly more competent than Comrade Lammy, my bet would be that the Guyanese never get their act together — far more likely that the rewards are forfeited to corrupt interests. After all, when the British left the Guyanese to their own devices, what did they do? They imported indentured workers from India, because Guyanese landowners were dissatisfied with the new rights afford to the local workers, and wanted to pay them less and offer worse conditions than those the British required.
Fortunately, it appears that the “outright hostility” from the new Trump administration over the Chagos Surrender Deal will stop it in its tracks. After all, Diego Garcia is an extremely important island for projecting power across the Pacific, which is all the more important as tensions mount in Taiwan.
Labour is a national security risk
The Labour government is clearly compromised. It simply is not possible fuck up this badly. I could round up 20 random people in a Starbucks and they’d make a better cohort of ministers. I’d draw names out of a hat.
When are people going to realise that Starmer is obviously compromised? If I were a foreign intelligence agency, I’d make use of wealthy donors and get them to invite Labour ministers to their homes and properties, and even let them live there. I’d bug the properties and put cameras everywhere, and then blackmail all of them to do my bidding. I’d force these closeted Communists to seize the means of production and engage in a senseless class warfare that achieves none of the goals it purports to.
Fortunately, there isn’t anyone in the Labour Party who would ever be such a moron.
A government needs respect to function, and without respect they can’t govern. Not only this, but without respect they shouldn’t govern. An incompetent bureaucracy of authoritarians now rule Britain, and the only thing they hate more than egalitarianism and meritocracy is Britain itself. Add to this the rumours swirling over Starmer’s alleged lovechild with Baroness Chapman, that in 2003 he fought for Axel Radukabana’s (the Southport killer) father to be granted asylum after his role in the Rushashya Commune Massacre in Rwanda in 1994 (and subsequently arrested anyone who claimed Radukabana wasn’t a Welsh Christian), and that most of the legal precedents for housing illegal immigrants in five star hotels are derived from court cases Starmer himself fought for, and it seems amazing that the camel’s back hasn’t already broken.
To add to this, despite Putin explicitly stating last week that use of Western-made long-range weapons on Russian territory would be considered an act of war, and would justify retaliations against NATO bases around the world, Comrade Starmer is charging ahead. As of today, Ukraine is firing British missiles into Russia (this means NATO soldiers, since non-NATO soldiers can’t use these weapons).
Also announced today: we are scrapping five warships, dozens of military helicopters and a fleet of drones in an act of national self-flagellation, under the pretext of “saving money”.
I wonder if this video puts Britons’ minds to rest:
It is very obvious that the Labour Party is compromised, and unfit for leadership.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
