URIP

One more step: what next for British nationalism?
With UKIP lingering around like a bad smell, You Kipper asks: what now?

The last few weeks have left me with a sense of homelessness, with the actions of Henry Bolton all but condemning UKIP to the scrapheap of history, as Nigel would say. Now, UKIP have indeed served their purpose, but given the dire straits of our political landscape I found myself clinging onto them for dear life. The recent actions of Welsh Assembly member Gareth Bennett, for example, reaffirmed to me that UKIP were the one party speaking truth to power – the only staunchly pro-Brexit & anti-political correctness party that we have at our disposal. I found it frustrating that people supposedly on our side could take such glee in seeing our only representation die a slow, painful, and yes, embarrassing death.

If there was a capable alternative then I would understand the delight in seeing a cucked civic nationalist party die out, paving the way for a real nationalist party. As things stand, though, that simply isn’t the case. In fact all we get is another cucked civic nationalist party - headed by a lesbian feminist no less. You’ve got to ask yourself, is it really worth seeing UKIP die when their supposed alternative offers nothing new? Suddenly I’m reminded of Richard Spencer and his warnings about Euroscepticism –maybe he had a point, even if I still disagree with him.

I’m not quite sure how people can champion Anne Marie Waters or For Britain as being pioneering and the only group willing to speak out about taboo subjects. UKIP have always been at the forefront of political debate (no matter how much AMW dishonestly claims they weren’t), but putting them aside what about the BNP? All things considered we’ve actually regressed. UKIPs replacement shouldn’t just be more of the same; it should be a party with the ideological groundings of the BNP coupled with the savvier, issue driven, common sense approach of UKIP. The National Front in France are perhaps the best example of this model.
We must remember we’re dealing in the realm of party politics - so purity spiralling is pointless and we must submit to pragmatism, otherwise we’re condemning ourselves to the same constant failures that past nationalist groups have endured.

For Britain are the Milo Yiannopolous of British party politics – they seem edgy, and to normies they can appear ghastly, but to those of us who’ve been around the block it all smacks of basic bitch conservatism which preaches the ills of all identity politics. Islam has become the acceptable scapegoat. I’m always reminded of Tommy Robinson constantly trying to argue that it isn’t multiculturalism that has failed - but simply Islam. The counter-jihad, or kosher nationalism as many like to call it, is quite simply a dead end road - and in my mind the movement harbours some very dark intentions which people are utterly oblivious to.

It’s at this point in the article where I should be proposing an alternative or some sort of solution, but quite frankly I’m stumped. We have local elections coming up in May - and for the first time I feel myself hesitant to put that cross next to my local UKIP candidates name.

Party politics right now is simply cancerous for nationalists, so my advice would be to continue doing your best to change the culture - winning hearts and minds, as they say. The public mood is shifting and we must all do our bit to ensure that shift continues in the right direction, and eventually a party will materialise, of that I have no doubt. Be it in 1 year or 10 our time will come, a Corbyn win could easily foster the right climate for a new party, who knows what the future holds for British Nationalism?
