Archiving the “strange death of Europe,” as Douglas Murray put it, and the West more broadly, at the hands of the neoliberal technocracy.
Reform UK pledges no slavery reparations, cancellations of visas for people from countries demanding them
Reform UK, Nigel Farage’s (nominally) right-wing populist brainchild, recently pledged to essentially block visas for anyone from any of the many Caribbean and African nations currently attempting to extort slavery “reparations” from the country.
Via The Guardian (emphasis added):
The rightwing Reform UK party has said it would stop issuing visas to people from any country that seeks reparations for the transatlantic trafficking and enslavement of Africans, at a time when the global battle for reparative justice is intensifying.
Reform’s home affairs spokesperson, Zia Yusuf, this week claimed the UK was being “ridiculed on the world stage” and said the “bank is closed” to anyone who wanted to “use history as a weapon to drain our Treasury”.
This is a characterisation that Caricom – the political bloc of Caribbean nations – has long argued is wrong, stressing that nations seeking reparative justice want a mutually beneficial partnership*…
At November’s Commonwealth heads of government meeting in Antigua and Barbuda, it is expected that King Charles will face calls for an apology. Meanwhile, Jamaica, and lawyers in the UK, are pursuing legal routes to redress.
*“Reparative justice” in pursuit of a “mutually beneficial partnership” is fancy-pants-speak for “put the money in the bag, whitey!” Surely they spent at least a few thousand pounds workshopping that one in the old PR lab.
How would emptying out the public coffers with blank checks to literally every now-independent country that was once a property of the crown constitute a “mutually beneficial partnership” for the people of England?
It won’t, obviously, but you’re not meant to ask that question for fear of being branded racist or, in the case of the UK, perhaps going to prison for hate speech.
The above-elucidated Reform position on reparations to hostile foreigners contrasts starkly with mainstream Tory and Labour rhetoric, which are more than happy to entertain all manner of Social Justice™ pillaging of the public treasury, including in the form of slavery reparations.

If, through sheer luck and force of public will, in spite of all efforts at gatekeeping — or else through some backroom deal to water down their program so as to effectively neuter it — Reform UK ever claims actual state power, we’ll see how serious all of this talk is. I’ve learned through bitter betrayal after bitter betrayal not to trust any politician’s rhetoric without a track record of action to back it up.
What I suspect a lot of this hardline heel-digging coming out of Reform has to do with, rather than an expression of deeply held policy positions, is the support it has hemorrhaged recently to the nascent Restore Britain.
As reported previously in The Great Replacement Chronicles, Restore Britain has positioned itself as an actual grassroots, populist, insurgent alternative to milquetoast Reform and purports to have recruited hundreds of thousands of despondent Brits in its very short life.

Increasingly, Restore Britain has gotten more explicit about its adamant, unabashed support for re-asserting the right of the native British to their homeland — which, in contrast to Reform, aligns them much closer to the actual sentiments of the portion of the electorate that they are ostensibly pandering to.
