Dr David McGrogan – Daily Sceptic July 25, 2025
Now, as Antonio Gramsci might have put it, is the time of monsters. Our wassail is over; the Graces, my friend, have abandoned the earth; there below, the Greek ships wait. In short – Britain’s ruling regime is kaput. The only thing left to do is to wait and see how the decline plays out and plan as positively as possible for the aftermath.
There is nothing particularly controversial about me saying this. It is rapidly turning into the consensus view. As I put it a few months ago, you just have to live here. But on Tuesday this week the Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, circulated a so-called ‘Cabinet read-out’ to journalists which nicely summarised both the nature of the problem and the cause of the coming cataclysm.
The immediate trigger for Rayner’s comments was the springing up of a series of demonstrations that are currently threatening to transmogrify into a gilets jaunes style mass movement. This concerns the use of ‘asylum’ hotels to house illegal migrants, mostly young men – a practice which I have written about before, and which is spreading to very unlikely areas of what you might call ‘L’angleterre profonde’: sleepy, prosperous and very English places like Epping and Diss. The tactic of slandering these protests as the work of the ‘far Right’ has been deployed by the usual suspects (the Socialist Worker has even described them as “pogroms”) but the label isn’t sticking: the truth of the matter is that the population are increasingly sick of being governed in the indefensible way we are. We all know that this is the source of the frustration, and feel it keenly. The forced imposition of large numbers of deracinated and often sexually aggressive young men from foreign climes on relatively small and settled communities is simply the most visible aspect of the basically contemptuous and high-handed operating modality of our decaying and flatulent ruling regime. And the kick-back is not ‘far Right’ – it is rather to be understood as the reaction of the population to a governing apparatus that does not understand, and cannot fulfil, the most elementary task of the sovereign.
Rayner’s comments speak to this issue directly (although, of course, she does not grasp this). Here is how they were reported by the Huffington Post:
Rayner told her cabinet colleagues that “economic insecurity, the rapid pace of de-industrialisation, immigration and the impacts on local communities and public services, technological change and the amount of time people were spending alone online, and declining trust in institutions are having a profound impact on society”.
The Deputy PM also pointed out that 17 of the 18 areas where there was a high rate of disorder last summer were among the most deprived places in the country.
She told Cabinet: “While Britain was a successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith country, the Government had to show it had a plan to address people’s concerns and provide opportunities for everyone to flourish.”
Rayner pointed to Labour’s upcoming Plan for Neighbourhoods, meant to deliver billions of pounds of investments over a decade to the most deprived areas.
Asked if this meant Rayner saw a connection between high levels of immigration and the disorder, the Prime Minister’s Spokesperson said: “She sees a link between concerns people have about where the Government is acting on their behalf and on their interests with a range of factors [sic].”
Got that? Britain is a successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith country, and the Government has to show it has a plan to address people’s concerns and provide opportunities for everyone to flourish. And, er, there is a link between concerns people have about (checks notes) “where the Government is acting on their behalf and on their interests with a range of factors”.
You have to laugh, even through the tears: these are the people who are in charge. Britain is a successful country? And this government has a…plan? But the important point to emphasise here is that Rayner, and the people around her, are simply constitutionally incapable of recognising the problem itself, or the solution. They actually think that “immigration and the impacts on local communities and public services” is just one of a “range of factors” destabilising society, alongside “economic insecurity, the rapid pace of de-industrialisation, technological change and the amount of time people were spending alone online, and declining trust in institutions”. And they actually think that the remedy for this is just “investment” in “deprived areas” so as to allow people to “flourish”.
British readers are familiar with this mindset: typically what it means is that money gets funnelled into regeneration schemes that kit out otherwise forgotten places like Newport, Dundee or Middlesborough with nice new shopping precincts and art galleries nobody visits. The idea, more or less, is that opposition to uncontrolled immigration is really just a feature of economic insecurity and, perhaps, a lack of civic pride. And if government can therefore just press the ‘grow’ button a bit harder, people will feel better off and pride will re-emerge, and our “successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith country” will simply become more successful yet.
What to say to help Angela Rayner out of her unfortunate predicament? Who will break the news to her? At first glance it seems incredible that otherwise purportedly intelligent people could think and say things that are so stupid – that somebody could fail to see that uncontrolled immigration is a phenomenon of vastly different nature to “economic security” or “the amount of time people spend alone online”. Yet this failure gets us to the heart of the matter because it brings us to the focal point: the issue that lies at the centre of regime politics in 2025 and the issue that will determine its fate.
Let us take a step back then, for a moment, and examine the current British regime. A regime, to cite Harvey Mansfield, comprises the ‘some’ who govern the ‘many’. Wider than a government or legislature, it really comprises what I once described as “anybody who is broadly connected with the exercise of governing – whether in the executive branch itself broadly understood (the civil service, police, etc.), or within the great penumbra of academics, teachers and other public sector employees who either enforce, replicate or elaborate” a set of particular values. This, I continued,
is a conceptual grouping rather than a formal one. Any society is constituted to give effect to certain givens, norms, ideas. And the regime can be thought of, then, as that class of people who benefit from, and enforce, a particular set of constitutive values. (Indeed one could almost go so far as to say that a regime is synonymous with the values which sustain and justify it.) They arrange society in accordance with their preferences. And they present their preferences as not just essential, good, decent and right – but as justifications for their own status. The regime governs on the basis that its values are always necessary to enforce.
Britain has been governed continuously since 1997 by a regime with a relatively focused set of constitutive values that can be understood chiefly as a positive response to globalisation. The end of the Cold War and technological innovation (the incipient internet, cheaper air transport, etc.) combined to generate a fairly rapid shift towards global openness. And this brought into the political mainstream a set of ideas that had been ‘lying around’, to use Milton Friedman’s expression, for some time: free trade, open borders, multiculturalism and so on. These values had, it is safe to say, already been imbibed by the chattering classes, beginning really in the 1960s, and the elite fairly rapidly embraced them politically when globalisation began in earnest, staring in the very early 1990s.
The result of this was that Britain’s ruling regime became strongly characterised by a set of norms that emerged from the consensus that the ‘some’ who ruled the ‘many’ had about the values of a modern society. And we are of course all aware of what those norms are and how they find expression: everybody is not so much equal as interchangeable; culture is purely aesthetic in the most superficial sense; borders and distinctions are always bad; commercialisation is always good; openness is the supreme virtue; closedness is the most deadly sin; and so on.
Support for open borders is the lodestar of this regime because it is the intersecting node, as if it were, of all of these different vectors. If you believe that everybody is interchangeable, that culture is purely aesthetic, that borders and distinctions are always bad, that commercialisation is always good, that openness is the supreme virtue, and that closedness is the most deadly sin, then free movement will become the literally quintessential element of your value system – the one that permeates them all and holds them together.
The problem with this, however, is that it has confronted the British regime with a contradiction. This is because in the end political authority cannot rest on the mere idea of openness – at least, not in the long run. Political authority that rests only on openness, and on deliberate repudiation of any connection to a land, or a people, is purely transactional or (to use one of my favourite Foucauldianisms), ‘synthetic’. It can maintain loyalty only by in effect handing out sweeties – or by staving off displeasure in a Hobbesian sense. Anyone in the world may come and go, but the relationship between individual and state is coldly commercial: contingent on mutual benefit and therefore resting on thin and barren soil.
This can sustain goings-on for a little while if economic conditions are good, but is no proper grounds on which authority can rest, and not just because it makes government hostage to economic fortune (though it does). It is because in the end the nature of sovereignty itself is precisely to form the basis for the territorial unity of a people – that is really what it is for – and, ironically, it is the consequences of the very embracing of globalisation that are causing this to unravel.
I elucidated this in greater detail in a recent post, but the essence of the matter is really in the description of the sovereign, shared by both Carl Schmitt and Hannah Arendt, as he who has purview over not just the exception, but also the norm. The sovereign is that power who, through granting himself the sole licence to use violence, determines where the metaphorical city wall lies around the polity, and protects it. And in so doing, he also determines what is normal (i.e., what is within the walls) and what is exceptional – who are the friends (those within) and who are the enemies (those to be ejected). Through doing this – through exerting oversight of the border around the polity – he creates the space within which the citizens can engage in politics freely as friends, and thereby indeed makes politics as such possible. And in so doing he both binds together and reflects the underlying normative unity between people and place.
This roots his authority precisely in the territory itself and its relationship to those who live in it. This is what provides it with genuine permanence. And the post-97 British regime, in flagrantly and indeed wholeheartedly abandoning a commitment to the core task of the sovereign through its chaotic immigration policy, is thereby undermining the only claim to possess genuine authority that it could in the long run make. It has transformed the relationship between British government and the people occupying the territory into a transactional and synthetic one; the only plea it can in the end make to the populace is something like, ‘Please let us remain in charge and we’ll provide opportunities for everyone to flourish.’ But this is thin gruel that cannot sustain a polity across time, and we are now seeing the inevitable consequences play out.
How do we explain, then, what happens next? In Chapter XXIX of Leviathan, Hobbes lays out a list of things that “weaken, or tend to the dissolution of a commonwealth”. And at the top of the list, aptly (if a little surprisingly), is the voluntary weakness of the ruler – the fact that he has become “content with less power, than to the peace, and defence of the commonwealth is necessarily required”.
This would seem a suitable way to describe our crop of current leaders, who have managed to convince themselves that all of our problems would go away with a bit of “investment” in “deprived areas”, and who are completely unwilling to exercise the ruthlessness and psychological toughness required to do what is necessary to secure Britain’s borders. The perception that people appear to be able to freely come and go from the UK whether legally or otherwise, and that the state will even facilitate them doing so illegally by putting them up in hotel rooms, is not just one problem among a “range of factors”. It goes to the heart of what sovereignty is all about because it casts government as being incapable of delineating the inside from the outside, norm from exception, friend from enemy. And it is therefore now condition critical, code red, squeaky-bum time for the survival of the regime – yet those in charge are absolutely incapable of even recognising this to be the case, let alone doing anything about it. This means it will, fairly rapidly, arrive at a point of system failure.
The consequences of this will be ugly. Something bad is going to happen. One can almost smell it. The regime that has governed Britain since 1997 is coming to an ignominious end. With its end there is likely to come a considerable amount of pain. It is extremely unlikely that the current government will survive until 2029, the point at which the next General Election will nominally have to take place. Sir Keir Starmer already stinks of crisis, and the stench that clings to him will get worse until it becomes intolerable. What happens when he is replaced is anyone’s guess. But things will simply not get better until sane immigration policy, craved by all citizens of whatever racial background, is restored and implemented with the necessary rigour – because that is in the end what is absolutely fundamental in grounding the authority of the sovereign.

Met Police claim ‘mass scenes of carnage’ around London restaurant as they oppose black Carnival plan
Story by Grant Williams
A Caribbean restaurant’s plan to stay open until 2am over the Notting Hill Carnival has been opposed by the Metropolitan Police, claiming a similar event at the premises last year contributed to “mass scenes of carnage and disorder”.
One Stop Caribbean (OSC) on Harlesden High Street has applied for two Temporary Event Notices (TENs) over the August Bank Holiday weekend, which would allow it to stay open and sell alcohol until 2am from Friday, August 22 until Tuesday August 26. It would also permit up to 80 people being on the premises. However, the police are calling on Brent Council to refuse the application due to the venue “breaching last year’s TEN”. Its licensing officer described the High Street as a “public order nightmare” last year when the area was “unlawfully transformed” into an extension of Notting Hill Carnival.

WETHERSPOONS GUILTY OF RACISM
Wetherspoon ‘stops woman wearing Union Jack Dress from entering’
Story by Charlie Bradley, Astha Saxena
A Wetherspoon pub in Nottinghamshire has reportedly denied entry to a woman wearing a Union Flag dress, and has told other punters with a Union flag or a St George’s cross that they can’t come in. Tanya Ostolski walked through the protesters, saying she had been refused a drink at her local pub, The Picture House in Sutton-in
The incident allegedly occurred as people gathered in the streets to protest as Lee Anderson MP said that an asylum seeker had been charged with rape. Speaking about the incident, Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon told The Express: ” Pub managers have a duty under the licensing laws, and as a matter of common sense, to judge every situation on its particular circumstances. In this case, the pub manager felt that it was important not to increase any tensions, as there are racists who would attack her “

Migrant hotel nightmare as ‘blazing mattresses and TV’ hurled out of windows at bystanders
Residents and business owners living near a London hotel housing asylum seekers say they are being plagued by crime and antisocial behaviour – with reports of televisions cups of urine and flaming mattresses being hurled from windows.
The Thistle City Barbican hotel in Islington, which has been operating under an exclusive contract with the Government since 2021, has seen 41 migrants charged with more than 90 offences in the past year alone.
Everything from theft to reaching out for women’s breasts in the street
Council worker Ufuoma Odoh was woken by police to be told that a television had been thrown from an upper-floor window, smashing the rear windscreen of his parked Volvo XC40. Police initially searched the first two floors of the hotel and closed the case after failing to find the perpetrator However, when a manager later discovered one was gone from the fourth floor, they contacted police again and a suspect was arrested. Odoh told MailOnline: “They took him to the police station and questioned him, but they claimed there was not enough proof as nobody had seen him throw the TV out of the window. I said, ‘But the manager told you he did it. Is that not enough?’ They insisted it wasn’t.”
He added: “The Home Office told me I should speak to my insurers, but I didn’t want my premiums to go up. I paid £750 myself to repair the damage.” i am myself a migrant and am so shocked at these people
answer send them all home

EPPING UPDATE
Epping migrant hotel protest update as police impose huge restrictions
Story by Ciaran McGrath •
Police have announced tough restrictions ahead of fresh protests in Epping this weekend after a string of violent incidents linked to demonstrations outside the Bell Hotel, which is currently being used as accommodation for migrants. Essex Police confirmed they will impose powers under Sections 12 and 14 of the Public Order Act 1986, along with a ban on face coverings under Section 60AA of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994Officers say the measures are necessary to prevent further violence, criminal damage, and disruption after four previous protests – on July 13, 17, 20, and 24 – escalated into serious disorder involving more than 300 people, with officers assaulted, missiles thrown, and arrests made. The Bell Hotel has been a repeated flashpoint with windows smashed, graffiti sprayed, and Heras fencing has now been erected to protect the premises. Residents and hotel staff have reported harassment, with one migrant injured while being chased back to the building, after taunting the protesters, some migrants have been taunting from the windows but most have been well behaved
One police office said while in private we agree with the protesters, we have a duty to do and we must do that.

Keir Starmer faces Labour revolt over migrant hotels – ‘shut them down’
Sir Keir Starmer has been warned that he must stop the use of asylum hotels sooner than promised.
Jo White, the Labour MP for Bassetlaw, leads the caucus of 40 MPs in the party’s traditional heartlands, where Labour is under increasing pressure to clear the backlog amid pressure from even previous labour voters.
Last week, violence erupted in several places such as Epping after the sexual assault of a local 14-year-old girl, while protests have been held at several other sites across the country in opposition to asylum seekers being housed in hotels at the public’s expense.
The Government has vowed to end the use of hotels as a means of housing asylum seekers by 2030, but the chairman of Labour’s Red Wall group of MPs has warned that the practice must stop before then. But Mrs White says that the practice must be ended “a lot, lot quicker than that.”
She told the Telegraph: “I’ve heard ministers saying they share the frustration of migrant gangs that continue to come here and I know they’re listening because they constantly go on about it.The situation where women and children are afriad to go out, and kids are carrying knives to school, must be remedied
Police admitted that they has bussed in a group of masked nutjob racists, but said they had orders to do this.
“There’s a commitment to close down the hotels by the end of the parliamentary term. I think we all want it to be a lot, lot quicker than that.”
These must people must be sent home
re: Inside the ‘£425 a night’ Britannia Hotel now set to house migrants
Lewis Jones nails it in his comment above.
An excellent comment from Peter Petherington as well. The piece is well-written, and seemingly hits the mark in some places, but utterly fails to admit to, as Peter put it, “while concentrating on the seating-arrangements – it fails to notice the elephants defecating in the middle of the dining-room… not to mention the chimps slinging sh!t while swinging from the chandeliers..” The defecating elephant in the room being organized jewry, of course.
“Britain has been governed continuously since 1997 by a regime with a relatively focused set of constitutive values that can be understood chiefly as a positive response to globalisation. ” … no wanker, Britain has been bent over the barrel and raped and robbed since that wicked criminally insane scum Cromwell opened the gates to let the foaming at the mouth hook-nosed pox of Jewry back in. You’ve been sodomized, degraded, and bled dry ever since, no matter what script-readers happen to “govern”.
“It is extremely unlikely that the current government will survive until 2029, the point at which the next General Election will nominally have to take place.” … Sweet tap-dancing Buddha, does this bleating imbecile actually believe that elections are anything other than merely another mass humiliation ritual at this point?
Here’s what basically happens when a citizen goes to, um, vote: for anything other than local elections, the chump is given the “choice” of a bucket of corrupt compromised pig shit or a bucket of compromised corrupt pig shit, both financed by Shlomo…who also happens to have some video footage of the candidates f*cking kids. When they enter a humiliation, er voting, booth and push a button, demonic laughter is piped in, a rubber dong emerges and pimp-slaps them in the yap, another hand emerges and smears shit on their face and tongue, a boot springs out and gives them a firm kick in the nuts while a mechanical arm pops out and takes their wallet, then they get hosed with horse piss on the way out where “migrant” niggers are raping the spouse and kids waiting in the car park.
