I didn’t leave the Tories. The Conservative Party left me
The Telegraph ^ | 04 January 2025 | Marco Longhi

Posted on 01/05/2025 12:08:45 AM PST by MinorityRepublican

For decades, I stood as a proud member of the Conservative Party, through the highs and the lows, always believing in its mission to uphold British values and defend the interests of the people.

But the party I once knew, the one I dedicated my career to, has lost its way. It has become a hollow shell of its former self – unrecognisable, ineffective, and entirely detached from the needs of the British public.

I am a patriot, and I refuse to stand by while this great nation crumbles. The betrayals of recent years are too severe to ignore. Loyalty has its limits, and my conscience demanded action.

I had to put the people of this country first. That is why I am now proud to stand with Reform UK, a party that truly represents the interests of everyday Britons.

Let me ask you: What does it mean to be British today? For many, that question no longer has a clear answer. Our national identity has been eroded, sacrificed at the altar of political correctness and a progressive agenda that prioritises ideology over reality.

Our traditions, values and sense of self have been dismantled by those more interested in appeasing fringe movements than addressing the issues that matter most.

Britain is almost gone.
Farage and Reform have huge headwinds when they have to deal with opinions like this:https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/what-nigel-farage-gets-wrong-about-british-muslims/

As long as permissiveness for everything Muslim and punishment for expression of everything British happens, its not going to get better. It starts at thetop of ALL parties, to the “town councils” to the cops on the street bashing Brits and hugging Muslims.

I have found that this applies to American liberals as well.

Tories were doomed when they kicked out Enoch Powell for Ted Heath.

Kind of ironic how those who supported the Monarchy while we were fighting for our independence are now their “conservatives”🥸

Mr. Farage - Why aren't you and Reform UK vigorously defending Tommy Robinson and investigation/prosecuting the leftists who imprisoned him and who placed him in solitary?

Like the vast majority of U.S. Republican party leadership that has done nothing to address the politically motivated imprisonment of J6ers and other political prisoners, is Reform UK divided on supporting and going to the wall for Robinson? Despite your rhetoric, like our republican party, you are unwilling to spend political capital on your political prisoners.

Sounds to me, that they are beginning to gather tail winds now, as the previous conservative party, much like the RINO controlled Republican Party, is being overtaken. One by a ne party in England, and one by takeover here is the U.S.

Winds of change seem to be occurring in growing locations around the world. Is it too little too late?

Time will tell.

Barbaric islam is the elephant in the room of many western nations.

Farage only obliquely mentioned the problem, the Reconquista and explosive expansion of this murderous cult.

I wasn’t pleased with PDJT’s embrace of Dearbornistan. The FIB should infiltrate mosques and not Catholic churches.

We’ll know soon enough if I am right. If Cair isn’t declared a terror-supporting organization soon, America will be over by 2050.

Islam and Western Civ cannot coexist. It one or the other.
