Anne Marie Waters Tuesday August 4th 2020 The word that takes centre stage this week is unemployment. Big names are laying off staff in increasingly worrying numbers, and we are still in the midst of the government’s furlough scheme. The state footing the staff bill for business will come to an end soon, and…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday 28th July 2020 The UK hospitality sector, it was reported today, dropped a massive £30 billion worth of sales during lockdown. Revenue plummeted by 87% between April and June, in comparison to the same time last year. This means the state will be down £38 billion in tax revenue in…
Anne Marie Waters Sunday July 26th 2020 On Monday morning, July 27th at 4 am, I will set out on a trip to Ramsgate in Kent. I will attend my first protest against the live export of animals, and I won’t be alone. Live exports are extremely cruel and all the moreso because they…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday July 21st 2020 I say the state of the economy today is unknown because it felt like the only appropriate word (other than “terrifying” which probably wouldn’t help the situation!) The government’s furlough scheme will soon end, and then UK business will need to stand on its own feet again…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN ‘Don’t Mask, Don’t Get’ Sunday July 19th 2020 The mysterious Bristol artist ‘Banksy’, who anonymously creates graffiti based art in public places throughout the country, has left his mark on a London tube. The artist stencilled images of rats wearing face masks and complying with coronavirus restrictions. Banksy, an…
Anne Marie Waters Saturday July 18th 2020 Good news! For Britain’s campaign against the Piccadilly Mosque has been successful. The 1,000 person mosque that was planned for the Trocadero centre in Piccadilly Circus will not go ahead – for now. Plans to build an Islamic place of worship in the heart of the West End…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN Immigration and why it matters Sunday July 12th 2020 For Britain recently launched its national campaign against open borders to the world. Illegal immigrants have been entering the UK, by the 1,000, while the rest of us were on coronavirus ‘lockdown’. Both Boris Johnson and Priti Patel are fully…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday July 7th 2020 It’s back! Our economy has now pretty much re-opened, so how is it going? The short answer is: mixed (again). The re-opening of pubs and restaurants (and others) on July 4th did not deliver the economic boost that was hoped. High street footfall for that weekend was…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN In Defence of Democracy (Part Two) Sunday July 5th 2020 In last week’s column (which you can read here) I introduced you to my new book In Defence of Democracy. The book is written in three parts, with part one covering democracy itself; the morality of it, the history…
Anne Marie Waters June 30th 2020 The coronavirus pandemic has brought quite a lot of change to our world, and that’s putting it rather mildly. On my livestream last night, I read about what we can and cannot do at a wedding in the UK in 2020. The government has issued a set of…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN In Defence of Democracy (Part One) Sunday June 28th 2020 It’s a great feeling to finish a book, and I had that feeling last week when I handed ‘In Defence of Democracy’ over to my long-suffering publisher Wade. (Thank you Wade). It will be published – after being edited,…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday 23rd June 2020 So, we’ve got the first week of post-lockdown high street trading under our belt, but how did it go? A mixed bag. The economy is gaining momentum, according to the Telegraph, and we’ve had “a record surge in activity”. Manufacturers led the biggest growth spurt since 1998…
SUNDAY COLUMN: Fathers’ Lives Matter Anne Marie Waters Sunday June 21st 2020 It was the saddest and most devastating moment of my life so far when my dad passed away. I was 14, and I have missed out on decades that should have spent with him. However, I’m still grateful for the years we…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday 16th June 2020 Queues wound through organised blocks yesterday as Britain’s retailers re-opened, and we got an idea of the changes we’ll see on the high street the post-coronavirus crisis. After reading through the rules in place, I’m sure I won’t be the only one who isn’t looking forward to…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN The Ebb and Flow of Plastic Sunday June 14th 2020 It has been a difficult week in Britain, one of several recent difficult weeks. Yesterday I attended the early part of a protest in central London that later turned ugly. Those of us who are passionate about the defence…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday 9th June 2020 The news doesn’t get much better. The coronavirus crisis carries on and on, our economy gets weaker and weaker, and the pinch is now beginning to bite. Among job losses now being announced as a result of the virus are from BP. The oil giant has announced…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN An Assault Upon the Elderly Sunday June 7th 2020 An Assault Upon the Elderly I recently heard it expressed that British society is engaged in an assault upon the elderly, and I was relieved to hear someone finally say it. I feel the same way. I first started thinking…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday 2nd June 2020 On the 15th of June, some shops in Britain will re-open, but we’re not quite clear yet how this will work. Will we be required to wear masks? Will there be a limit as to numbers inside the shop at any given time? What we do know…
31st May 2020 By Ed, Party Chairman this week as Anne Marie is finishing her new book!). This week has been particularly eventful, at a time when every week seems to bring us increasingly significant news. Anne Marie will be talking about the mainstream media earning the trending hashtag “#ScumMedia” (much to their collective annoyance)…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday May 26th 2020 Plans to build a 1,000 person capacity mosque right in the heart of London’s West End are meeting fierce opposition – with For Britain leading the way. Members of our London branch have been working in the hot sun today, raising awareness of this serious issue. Well done…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday May 26th 2020 Former BBC ‘Dragon’ Theo Paphitis has declared that “retail will never ever be the same again” when economic life begins to stagger back to normality. The coronavirus lockdown has closed all shops except those selling food and medicine, and it has been this way for more than…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN Police in Barrow are Lying Sunday May 24th 2020 That may be a provocative headline, but I stand by it. I know from bitter experience that reports of “Asian” grooming gangs have been made in that town, and little to nothing was done. The police reacted with obfuscation and…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday May 19th 2020 Last week, in my economic blog, I discussed debt and with it, the power of banks. Debt has exploded over the last few decades, as banks create new money and extend loans at unprecedented levels. This does make the economy move, and many businesses would never have…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN Fake News – The Outrageous Mainstream Media Sunday May 17th 2020 I had intended to write something different today. I planned to write about the grotesque power of multinational corporations (MNCs), but I shall cover that in my weekly economics blog instead. I changed my mind because just yesterday,…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday May 12th 2020 If you’re a book lover, like me, there will be books in your life that fundamentally change the way you view the world. I have recently read (and am re-reading) just such a book. ‘Grip of Death – A Study of Modern Money, Debt Slavery, and Destructive…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN The Global World Sunday May 10th 2020 We will no longer surrender this country, or its people, to the false song of globalism. – Donald J Trump ‘Globalism’ is one of those words that everyone knows but few can define. Some argue that the world is no longer politically Left or…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday May 5th 2020 Almost a quarter of the UK’s workforce is currently funded by the Government. Figures show that 6.3 million people are now paid through the government’s job retention scheme that funds 80% (or £2,500) of workers’ wages. This amounts to 23% of the workforce. In addition to this,…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN Is The Lockdown Ending? Sunday May 3rd 2020 It’s something that none of us have known before, and life is unlikely to return to what we once knew. At present, one third of the world’s population is on ‘lockdown’. What a staggering reality. Lockdown means different things in different…
Anne Marie Waters April 28th 2020 The Government has promised £60,000 to the families of health workers whose relatives die from coronavirus. The measure was announced by Health Secretary Matt Hancock on April 27th. This will no doubt bring some relief to devastated families and very few people would object. However, as it is…
The following is a suggested letter to the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson (boris.johnson.mp@parliament.uk), as well as Health Secretary Matt Hancock (matt.hancock.mp@parliament.uk). Please copy and paste and send this to Government. The more letters they receive, the more they’ll become aware of public feeling. Thank you. Dear Prime Minister/Health Secretary Re: Coronavirus ‘lockdown’ As…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN Grooming Gang Cover-Up Continues Sunday April 26th 2020 The British Parliament provides a facility for the public to post petitions which, if they gain over 100,000 signatories, will be put before the House of Commons for debate. At least that is the theory. In reality however, petitions are ignored if…
Anne Marie Waters April 22nd 2020 It’s easy to criticise the government’s handling of the coronavirus crisis, but we should remember we’re in unchartered waters and nobody has been here before. However, it is the job of the government to act in the people’s best interests, even (or especially) at difficult times like this….
Anne Marie Waters April 21st 2020 An extraordinary thing has occurred on the world markets; the price of oil has fallen below zero for the first time in history. In what can only be described as a surreal situation, traders were actually paying people to take their oil. The causes of this are largely a…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN What’s behind the climate change movement? Sunday April 19th 2020 Alarmism Under the heading “The Truth” the campaign group Extinction Rebellion (XR) tells us this: We are facing an unprecedented global emergency. Life on Earth is in crisis: scientists agree we have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown,…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN Why we must ban the buyback of shares Sunday April 12th 2020 Why now? The coronavirus crisis has once again necessitated a government bailout of business. While this one was caused by biology (and the negligence of China), market forces have also brought us to the brink of economic…
ANNE MARIE WATERS’ SUNDAY COLUMN What’s Really Happening at the Greek Border? A battle between the EU and Turkey. Sunday April 5th 2020 Background For every story, there must be a starting point, so let us start with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President of Turkey. A former Prime Minister, Erdoğan has been President of Turkey…
Anne Marie Waters April 3rd 2020 When a person comes to the end of their working life, they have paid their dues. It’s time to relax and enjoy life, something that is earned having worked and contributed to society for decades. For Britain believes strongly in pursuing the most dignified and most comfortable retirement…
Anne Marie Waters March 30th 2020 Since the outbreak of the global coronavirus pandemic, we have heard startling numbers of cases reported every day, and even more startling numbers of deaths. But how accurate are these numbers? The truth is we can’t be sure. As a starting point, it’s important to note that deaths…
Anne Marie Waters March 25th 2020 When I was a law graduate, I spent a lot of time working around the courts of central London. Much of it was voluntary clerking and paralegal work and while it involved long waits on a regular basis, it was also a fascinating insight in what goes on…
Anne Marie Waters March 23rd 2020 We have entered a frightening and confusing time with the outbreak of coronavirus. People are uncertain, our society has plunged in to something unrecognisable almost over night. So what is actually going on and how did it start? What we know so far is that the virus began…
Anne Marie Waters March 19th 2020 On the 16th of March, MPs in our Parliament debated the welfare of animals. This doesn’t happen often, and rarely is anything actually achieved. For years, people have campaigned against the live export of animals, so far to no avail. People campaign against religious slaughter, but this isn’t…
Anne Marie Waters March 11th 2020 The Court of Appeal has ruled that people must state their sex (i.e. male or female) on their passports. This may sound like common sense has at last prevailed, but upon reading the court’s judgement, it is clear this is unlikely to last. The fact that our courts…
Anne Marie Waters March 2nd 2020 Priti Patel’s immigration policies are largely to be welcomed. A points-based system is an obvious method of weighing up a person’s merits and deciding who can or can’t come to Britain. It’s a convenient and common sense way to have a look at those who wish to live…
Anne Marie Waters February 23rd 2020 They must know the disquiet it will cause. They must know that the silence will only help to confirm what I and others have said for many years. Even so, even with this in mind, our leaders have chosen to cover up the truth. The truth therefore must…
Anne Marie Waters February 17th 2020 If you had enormous influence over the minds of the young, how would you use it? Would you teach them to be positive and self-respectful, or would you fill their minds with shame and self-contempt? The former is a gift to a child, the latter is nothing short…
Anne Marie Waters February 12th 2020 Rebecca Long-Bailey, a front-runner in the race to be the next Labour leader, has given her backing to the expulsion of “transphobic” members of the party. Obviously Labour still has its finger on the pulse of the British working class! (Or not). A new group, comprised of people…
Anne Marie Waters February 11th 2020 This morning I read the most fascinating string of tweets on the account of Telegraph journalist Allison Pearson (@allisonpearson). It’s something I haven’t previously been aware of, and reveals to us, yet again, the shocking state of the NHS – it’s even worse than I thought. The tweets…
Anne Marie Waters February 10th 2020 MPs are rarely as vocal as they’ve been for the last few days. Some have stood up in Parliament to speak out, others have made television appeals, and 170 have gathered together to write to the Prime Minister to demand action. What’s happened? The Government is due to…
Anne Marie Waters February 6th 2020 It is fairly uncontroversial, or should be uncontroversial, for a government’s number one priority to be the safety and well-being of those who elect them. One could make this assumption, but would not always be correct. Today, in the United Kingdom, law and order has quite simply broken…
Anne Marie Waters February 3rd 2020 “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them” “And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for Allah” “Fight against them so that Allah will punish them…
Anne Marie Waters January 31st 2020 Well, here it is. The day we’ve been waiting for. But before we get to the celebrations, let’s answer the critics. It’s true, this isn’t the Brexit we wanted. It isn’t a clean break, and Farage is right to say that Johnson’s deal is little different to May’s,…
Anne Marie Waters January 30th 2020 A ‘grooming gang’ consisting of around 55 people has been “taken down” in Scotland, and the case covered up by police. According to the Scottish Sun, the gang was comprised of Kurdish, Afghani, Egyptian, Moroccan, Turkish, Pakistani and Iraqi men. Needless to say, these are all Muslim countries,…
Anne Marie Waters January 25th 2020 Decent transport in a primary prerequisite for a functioning society. We must be able to get around, cheaply and with ease. Our goods and products must do the same, and transport is an area in which small smart changes will make a huge difference. Firstly, there must be…
Anne Marie Waters, Party Leader January 20th 2020 The controversial HS2, a high speed rail linking London to Birmingham and Manchester is set to see costs go up to £106 bn. The cost was set at £56 bn in 2015. A report leaked to the Financial Times warned of the potential rise, and also recommended…
Anne Marie Waters January 17th 2020 We can expect little better from the press. Once again, the nation’s “journalists” are participating in (and encouraging) racial slurs in order to protect a religion, an ideology, from the scrutiny it so richly deserves. A report this week revealed that Greater Manchester Police allowed known rapists of…
Anne Marie Waters January 14th 2020 The response of our leaders to the Brexit referendum result taught us a stark lesson, but a valuable one. It revealed that the majority of MPs did not wish to keep their promise and withdraw from the European Union. They felt fully comfortable in doing this, showing that…
Anne Marie Waters January 10th 2020 I have family in the Irish Republic, which doesn’t have an NHS. I know of countless cases, including in my own wider family, of people deciding not to go to the doctor because they are stuck in the middle: they’re not poor enough to qualify for state help,…
Anne Marie Waters January 9th 2020 The Royal College of GPs has spoken out about delays now experienced by patients waiting to see a doctor. The College calls waiting times “unacceptable” and said that patients were often waiting as long as three weeks for an appointment. Furthermore, doctors are under heavy workloads, which could mean…
Anne Marie Waters January 6th 2020 Mahatma Gandhi once said that the greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. Britain has a long and proud tradition of kindness and respect towards animals, it was part of our greatness, but like this greatness generally, our kindness to animals is…
Anne Marie Waters December 22nd 2019 Every adult man and woman has the right to live their lives as they prefer. It’s our most fundamental liberty that we are able to choose our own destiny. The only restrictions on our liberties should be to prevent harm to others in the form of bodily harm,…
Anne Marie Waters December 21st 2019 When you have been on the receiving end of the mainstream media, it changes your life. It changes you because you learn firsthand just how corrupt public life can be. People often believe “there’s no smoke without fire”, they believe that the press simply isn’t allowed to lie –…
Anne Marie Waters December 9th 2019 In our unique immigration policy, For Britain proposes radical reform. We know that migration concerns many Britons, and we also know that an important aspect of this concern is culture, or way of life. Cultural compatibility is vital, but is ignored in mainstream politics. Instead we are told that…
Anne Marie Waters December 6th 2019 If you read the mainstream press, it will attempt to persuade you that “far right” terrorism is a growing menace in Britain. The same press will then describe objection to mass migration, nation-state democracy, and Islamic radicalism as “far right”. On the other hand, Antifa, a group that…
Anne Marie Waters 3rd December 2019 Labour can always be depended upon to defend the indefensible. Birmingham Labour MP Khalid Mahmood has accused the Green Party’s co-leader Jonathan Bartley of “Muslim bashing” because he expressed sympathy for animals who are tortured to death in the name of medieval superstition and bloodthirst, i.e. halal slaughter….
Anne Marie Waters, Party Leader December 2nd 2019 Nigel Farage is in a sticky situation. The leaders’ debate that took place on December 1st proved this. Farage spent much of the debate criticising the Conservatives, despite stating only weeks ago that he was standing down more than 300 of his candidates in favour of the…
By Anne Marie Waters, Leader November 30th 2019 Two people have been tragically murdered in central London by a jihadist. Usman Khan, a 28 year old from Stoke on Trent, stabbed two people to death, and injured three others, near London Bridge, before being shot dead by police. Shockingly, though not surprisingly, Khan was a…
Anne Marie Waters November 25th 2019 Today I produced some videos showing an ambush on myself and other For Britain members by Antifa on Saturday night. The videos are at the bottom of this article, as well as some of the mugshots of the mob we are looking to identify. We started the evening at…
Sadiq Khan Mayor of London City Hall London SE1 2AA November 25th 2019 Dear Mr Khan, I write to inform you of an incident that occurred in London on the evening of November 23rd 2019. On this evening, a group of my colleagues and I were engaged in a walking tour of…
Rushanara Ali MP Houses of Parliament London SW1A 0AA November 25th 2019 Dear Ms Ali, I write to inform you of an incident that occurred within your constituency on the evening of November 23rd 2019. On this evening, a group of my colleagues and I were engaged in a walking tour of the…
Katie sadly couldn’t make it to our national conference this year, though she did send us a video message from the USA, which you can view below. To make up for the fact, we have arranged an evening with Katie in Birmingham. UPDATE: THIS EVENT HAS NOW BEEN MOVED TO FRIDAY 21ST FEBRUARY. The intention…
By Anne Marie Waters 13th November 2019 People who criticise the ideology of Islam can usually report that they have lost friends as a result. I certainly have. But there is another loss; the loss of heroes and heroines. It’s not controversial to point out that the vast majority of celebrity and public figures are…
By Anne Marie Waters 11th November 2019 It’s no surprise that career politicians talk the talk but rarely walk the walk. Today, on Armistice Day, both Labour and the Tories have announced plans to support Britain’s Armed Forces. But this is talk; we know them by their actions. Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party promising support for…
By Anne Marie Waters 7th November 2019 Tom Bower has given his book an interesting title: ‘Dangerous Hero’. I would say he is half right. Dangerous yes, but no hero, certainly not to the majority of British people. I recently finished reading this astounding book, and while the contents are known, they are nonetheless shocking….
By Anne Marie Waters 30th October 2019 If our world ever regains its sanity, future historians will look back in horror at the era we live in at present. They’ll do this with much justification, and nowhere will this historical insanity be more stark than in our current obsession with all things “trans”. Let’s be…
It was a very personal journey for me. For as long as I remember, I have had the most intense passion and compassion for animals. I possess a deep sympathy for them. I don’t know where it comes from, but it’s there. I find genuine peace being around animals. There’s an inspiring innocence and a…
By Anne Marie Waters, Party Leader 21st October 2019 Back in 2017, when I was standing in the Ukip leadership election, I made a clear point about the EU – I called it Hotel California, you can check out but you can never leave. I was right. Leaving the EU should not be difficult. All…
By Anne Marie Waters 25th September 2019 It continues. This is becoming more and more alarming, and the established elite more and more remote. The Supreme Court has ruled that Boris Johnson’s proroguing of Parliament was unlawful, and MPs have gone back to work; many of them with the sole intention of preventing Brexit. The…
By Anne Marie Waters, Party Leader 10th September 2019 Some things don’t age very well – especially Jeremy Corbyn’s demands for a general election! It must be embarrassing for Labour at present. Not only do they have to crawl backwards on their hitherto insistence on an election, but they find themselves in a position where…
Religious Slaughter in the UK and Beyond Written by Anne Marie Waters, issued 7th September 2019 Introduction Halal food, food prepared according to sharia law, has become a staple of the Western diet – and much of this food is sold unlabelled. Halal is a multi-billion dollar global industry involving agriculture and farming, food processing,…
By Anne Marie Waters, Party Leader 4th September 2019 The best case scenario is easy. We get out on the 31st of October with a trade deal that allows businesses to do business. Tariff-free movement of goods and services between the EU and the UK is entirely reasonable, and entirely doable if parties are acting…
The UK probably isn’t the first country to spring to mind when one thinks of political oppression. The Freedom Index rates us at 33rd out of 180…
