The Gaslighting of Britain

‘Cultural appropriation’ and ‘whitewashing’ in the entertainment industry are, much like increasing parts of multicultural Britain, no-go zones. "Only gay actors should play gays”, “save the disabled roles for the disabled" the luvvies cry. And while naturally Blacks not only can but are encouraged to play white roles, no-one within a five mile radius of the dressing up box thinks that principle works in reverse.

If you’re white, attempting a career in make-believe these days is pretty much a Sisyphean task without the job satisfaction, with one notable exception darling - the villain’s understudy. Whenever Westminster and its media shills are forced to address topics they’d much rather ignore, suddenly it’s once more unto the breach dear friends, once more. ‘Whitewashing’, it seems, has its uses beyond public inquiries.

While likely a widespread phenomenon in the West, this maladie is particularly pronounced in Britain - where the reality of crime is routinely whitewashed for political expedience, without so much as a nod to ‘artistic licence’. You name the crime, the authorities have got whitey primed and ready to serve as the bogeyman de nos jours.

Concerned about ‘misogyny’? Not to worry, Mayor Sadiq Khan has got you covered with his contemptible ‘Have a word’ and ‘Maaate’ campaigns - featuring thuggish, working-class white male perpetrators, and the double act of multicultural victims and multicultural good guys.

Worried about sexual assault? The British Army out-wankered Sadiq Khan back in 2010, when they decided to depict that most likely of eventualities - a white female officer assaulting a male ethnic minority soldier in their ‘Call it out’ campaign.

Sure, no doubt it happens, but with female recruits standing at a mere 9% of army personnel back then and ethnic minorities at an even merer 6.6%, this might be stretching credulity a little too far. Try being a ‘grooming’ victim in Britain’s norther towns, and see if the narrative rings true.

Fancy a bit of sexual harassment on the Tube? Sorry, only one brand on the menu. What kind? Take a wild guess. Yep, honkies at it again - this time the government’s own propaganda, featuring lecherous leering lothario whitey, and poor, demure ethnic girls, simply trying to make it home in one piece:

The cancer is clearly contagious. When Coronation Street decided to run a story on the ‘grooming gang’ rape of a 16-year-old, they couldn’t resist the temptation to feature an all-white gang. The BBC’s Spooks program meanwhile, thought they’d cover religious fanatics instead. Which religion do you think they opted for? Got it in one - those radial Christians, who else? Not content with that, they had them planning to blow up a mosque in Manchester via a hand-grenade attack. Salman Abedi must be pissing himself with laughter down there.

So when it came to knife crime, why was anyone surprised by the Netflix depiction in Adolescence - with baby-faced whitey doing the stabbing. Unlike Axel Rudakubana and the endless supply of immigrant cohorts who appear to maim and slaughter children for fun, Owen Cooper’s 13-year-old Jamie Miller actually does look like a Welsh choirboy (presumably, Aled Jones was unavailable). We were initially told the series was based on true life events, but that narrative soon changed when it became clear Westminster wanted to extract political capital from its success. Suddenly it wasn’t inspired by anything; just fiction, don’t you know? You can’t have it both ways luv. If it’s factually-based, it should reflect reality; if it’s fiction, why is it being shown in schools as educational material?

Why exactly do the powers that be despise the white, working-class quite so much, you may ask? That’s a good question. I believe the answer essentially lies in the abject failure of multiculturalism; a policy which the vast majority of UK politicians have either based their careers on or are too spineless to challenge. That failure, and the concomitant crime and social fragmentation it has brought to these shores requires explanation. An honest explanation would demand accountability for those complicit, again a sizeable number. So the much simpler solution is to usher in a scapegoat: whitey.

It doesn’t hurt of course that Whites, particularly the white, working-class have no commercial value in the victim hierarchy. To the main parties (with the likely exception of Reform UK), they are the perfect punching bag. Never forget the words of former Liberal Democrat leader, Vince Cable, who actually had the gall to utter the following at the 2018 Party Conference: "Looking around the auditorium, we are very, very white.” That sums up Westminster’s attitude perfectly.

There’s no end our political class’s appetite for this gaslighting shit, and the worse the reality of multiculturalism gets the more they push the false narrative. The Prime Minister was mocked for calling Adolescence a documentary; sadly that’s just wishful thinking on his part. He ‘found it really hard to watch’ he told us, but then he says a lot of things he doesn’t mean. He told us he’s ‘angry’ about illegal immigration, but clearly not angry enough to do anything about it (save for droning on about ‘smashing the gangs’). He’s angry too no doubt about the grooming gangs, but naturally refuses a public inquiry. Clearly, protecting the narrative is more important than protecting victims.

Here’s the harsh reality: the black community in Britain has a profound problem with knife crime (notably, both as victim and perpetrator). That fact is so stark, even former Equality Commission Chief, Trevor Phillips, has demanded we admit gang knife crime is a black issue. ‘Grooming gangs’ are a Muslim phenomenon, those who are four times as likely to be involved than the native population. Incidentally, we didn’t require a euphemism for child rape gangs before the mass arrival of Muslims in Britain - we regarded anyone involved in such heinous crimes as an utter scumbag, irrespective of his heritage. And no matter how much Westminster gerrymanders the figures and witters on about ‘far-right extremists’, 80% of Counter-terror investigations are Muslim in nature, and 90% of MI5’s terror watchlist is comprised of jihadis.

The white, working-class meanwhile? They used to be the backbone of the country, before Westminster’s finest developed quadriplegia.

Keir Starmer would rather legislate fantasy than reality, which is why his refusal to acknowledge the realities of black knife crime, muslim rape gangs and the abject failure of multiculturalism is matched only by the zeal with which he jails any white working-class Brit who dares to contradict him. But the gaslighting is only going to last so long before the curtain comes down on this grotesque charade. And when it does, the white working-class - and everyone else who’s been lied to - will be ready to take the stage.
