Born to rule

Traditionally in the UK there have been two political classes for most of the last century, the old elites and the “aristocracy of labour”. While both were undoubtedly corrupt and bloated there was enough of a difference between the interests of the two to make sure that the major parties at least LOOKED a little different in their manifestos come election time, this is no longer the case.

The new political class has grown up around the PR industries and the press. These groups now dominate both parties. In the post Cold war world the idea of “Class war” didn’t really have much traction anymore. The left wing parties had stopped trying to nationalise the commanding heights of the economy in the 80s, just as the old wealthy elites lost control of the Tories to the new up and coming social forces represented by Thatcher and her goons.

In the 90s came new Labour, the biggest change in the class and social basis of the Labour party in its history. All of a sudden unions and “The workers” didn’t matter so much anymore. Both parties ran as fast as they could for the mythical middle ground, the university educated, professional middle classes.

The Gap

This caused a problem for anyone outside this group. When one class controls all the political parties, all the news media and all the educational institutions all other groups, and all groups that have interests which clash with those of the new ruling class, are in trouble.

The biggest group to lose out under the new arrangement is of course the indigenous working class. As we now know from various sources, not least the House of Lords report, the waves of mass immigration have not only robbed the indigenous people of their homeland, but also takes the poorest of the native people and makes them poorer by introducing unfair competition. Not only in immigration but on all other issues of values, morality and society the views of the indigenous people, particularly those who are struggling, have been marginalised.

This has left a massive political gap where the interests of a large section of the community are not being met by any party or even any news source. This is the reason that the BNP, not a very large or attractive organisation in the mid nineties, has been able to capitalise despite the bad reputation of its founder and the first decade and a half of its existence. If the BNP was not carrying the baggage of its past it may very well have a far larger share of the vote than it currently enjoys, but of course we will never know for sure.

Arrogance

The privileged position of most of the new class is easy to see. Near all of the new political class come from upper middle class families and the few that don’t come from higher on the scale. The odd exception is notable only for its rarity. These people grew up in nice towns and suburbs in nice areas. They usually grew up in predominantly indigenous areas with a certain level of wealth and comfort. They went to decent schools, not always the poshest of public schools but nice ones. They went straight from school to university, where they had their only real experience of ethnic diversity amongst the equally privileged children of the middle classes of the colonist communities. They went from university to work in a job they got through personal or family connections and usually, like David Cameron, went to work for their chosen political party immediately.

In short at every step of their lives they have been fed with silver spoons. They have lived off the sweat of others, and have most likely never worked as anything more productive for society than a part time shelf stacker at a supermarket, if even that.

They have no conception of the real world, mainly because they have never lived it. They live in the same suburbs, go to the same restaurants, and hang around at the same cafes, drive to work at similar hours, have dinner parties at each others houses and never actually notice what is going on in the country they consider themselves competent to rule.

This class only sees real work from the soundproof cockpit that is their latest imported car on the way in between an office and a boutique suburb which consists the totality of their world. They know nothing else, they have experienced nothing else, and they have the power of life and death over the countries in which we live. These people consider it their mission to not only run the world but to use as much power as they can grab to “fix it”. To mould the earth in the image of perfection that their professors in university told them was the path to utopia. The fact that those same professors had even less experience of the real world seems not to sink in. For this new class facts are secondary, what matter is how you FEEL about something.

Terror

What fills these people, this class which means itself to be the new nobility, with such utter dread is the thought that anyone else could possibly burst in on their “Project” and begin to actually do what people want rather than what the rulers want them to do. These people consider themselves the philosopher kings of Plato’s Republic. Standing high above it all, wielding absolute power to mould the world into a shape pleasing to themselves [on behalf of the people of course].

When outsiders to their little club begin to gain support at the polls they go ape. They simply cannot fathom how such uncouth persons speaking such coarse truths [or as they see it lies] managed to get into the spotlight. They are like the main act at a gig wondering about the little old lady in the pink bobble hat wandering on stage and smiling at them in a funny way. They just want the muscle bound types they employ to get this annoyance from their sight.

But in the case of the BNP this has proved harder to do than it would first appear. The BNP activists who get beaten up by the hired thugs simply don’t stay down on the ground bleeding like they should. The fixed courts can be used of course but it’s clear after the Nick Griffin trial that this can bite back in unpleasant ways. In short the political classes are still safe in Versailles, and still have their supporters in the population, but there seem to be disturbing mutterings about building Guillotines.

It will be interesting to see what this new class that rose so quickly and to such power will do when that power is threatened. It may be possible that some reading this may in the years to come be seeing the inside of a jail cell for having political beliefs unsuitable to our free and democratic age.
