The Gatekeeper

Well, that didn't take long:

The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn't have what it takes. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 5, 2025

Mr Musk is now following dear Sammy Woodhouse, the indomitable survivor of the gang-rape hell of urban England and a favourite guest of The Mark Steyn Show. Frankly, that's much better company for Elon to be keeping. My interest is, as yours should be, in stopping the ongoing mass gang-rape of English girls. Not whether Farage provoking Musk into disowning him is merely the latest evidence of Nigel's political genius.

But enough about all these raped girls: what matters is the need to "distance" onself from Tommy Robinson. If Nigel were to distance himself any further, he'd be MP for the South Sandwich Islands: Mission accomplished. So who else is his party "distancing" itself from? Well, here's Farage's deputy with Sammy back in June before the election...

Sammy got the receipts from 6 months ago! Why didn't Tice look into it after election? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/PhyAOYRwL9 — Shillitz (@shillitz) January 5, 2025

Does that dessicated arseholery sound like any way to talk about the industrial-scale gang-rape of children in towns up and down England? As Sammy concluded of Mr Tice just yesterday:

You didn't give a shit.

I've worked with politicians of different political parties to educate them in regards to child rape and our needs for 12 years.

I can only remember a handful of their names.

There's a reason for that. — S A M M Y woodhouse (@sammywoodhouse1) January 5, 2025

Problem for Farage is that he is thinking tactically not strategically. The revelations of Pakastani gang rape and their shameful enablers utterly shifted the political ground, at viral speed. He is still calculating seat gains in the next election 4 years off, not that the government could fall tomorrow over this, and the Crown as well if they don’t step in and protect their country and their people.

Farage has utterly missed the 35kt batttle ship that steamed by at his feet. All he had to do was step on.

My my my, now what are the purists to do, Mark Steyn verses sundance, who to support?

Is Mark Steyn also a traitor to Trump now?

Musk is politically unstable but he is right about Farage in context of the rape gangs and Tommy Robinson. sundance is political poison conservatively and should be viewed as such imho.

I’m going to say that Musk isn’t necessarily wrong about Farage. If you toil long enough, without success, people tend to typecast you in a permanent position.

Having said that, I don’t know if Musk is playing interference to weaken the British First movement.

I’m reading “The Sand Pebble”. China-warlords and gang bangers run amok. Pretty girls spread excrement on themselves to avoid getting raped.

I don’t think Musk is thinking that way. I think it’s just general outrage over a problem that has been swept under the rug for far too long. There are so few with real courage to address a problem. As Mark notes later in the column, people didn’t want to associate with Tommy Robinson, however right he was. It would be awkward at dinner parties.

The migrant issue isn’t just crime & rape gangs, but the weight/expense on the economy & the destruction of western culture. It’s amazing it’s been allowed to continue so long. Even if Musk is late to the game, good on him of making it a big issue. It’s about time.

“If Nigel were to distance himself any further, he’d be MP for the South Sandwich Islands”

For those who don’t know (and I didn’t until now), the South Sandwich Islands is a bit north of Antarctica, in the South Atlantic (far South Atlantic).

“It has been somewhat bewildering, over my many years in the United States, to watch first the Second Amendment and then the First Amendment become fringe “far right” obsessions. But, when child gang-rape is a “far right” obsession you need to distance yourself from, it’s worth asking where all this “gatekeeping” is getting us.”

It took me a bit to realize what Mark Steyn is saying with this paragraph.

It means he watched as the Old Dominant Media revealed their totalitarian philosphy’s disdain for the Bill of Rights.
It was obvious, starting with the Second Amendment, then the First Amendment, and now showing mass rape of young girls is perfectly fine if it helps keep the Left in political power.

The Great British Cuckholdery of 2008-2010....continuing into 2025.

You need some more fellers?

LOL. I can’t believe anyone is falling for this.

These rape gangs have been widely known for 10 years. Why is it being brought up now?

Musk just outed himself as America Last over his H1B stance.
Farage is seen as too radical and too pro-Trump in Great Britain.

This little kerfuffle is a perfect opportunity to change the subject and pander to the base they each will need for electoral and policy success in the next few months.

Fake and ghey

I’ve always found Sundance to be an insightful critical thinker, but lately, he seems to have his head screwed on backward.

Exactly. Elon is right. Nigel went wobbly with Robinson. England needs a Trump not a Pence

Widely, but not deeply. The extent of it is still covered up. The inaction for the last 10 years means that not enough has been made of it.

Mark Steyn lost his spot in GB News in part because he was exposing this stuff.

People see the UK and think they are socially a lot like Americans, but that is false. They still have a VERY class-based system of thought. Farage doesn’t want to be associated with a lower-class (socially) individual like Tommy Robinson because it will damage him in the eyes of the upper-class financiers that he wants to keep funding his political party (and lavish lifestyle). Farage doesn’t care if TR is right or wrong, TR is working-class and Farage views them as alien as he does the Muslim immigrants...

If you think there will be any action in the next ten years, you are going to be disappointed.

The replacement will continue until it is complete. This Musk/Farage business is Kabuki theater.
