Anne Marie Waters Tuesday October 27th 2020 Two articles have caught my eye this morning; how jobs are continuing to be lost due to local lockdowns, and the impact this will have on the next generation. According to the BBC, there is a ‘long winter’ ahead for those seeking work, as job advertisements continue…
Anne Marie Waters October 25th 2020 It is one of my favourite days of the year; gaining a full hour in the morning to do with what we wish. Bliss! If I gain an hour, especially in the morning, it is inevitable that I will use that time to read, and that’s what I’ve…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday October 20th 2020 The world economy is moving fast and it isn’t easy to keep up. Last week I gave you some detail on the latest scheme offered by the Chancellor to help those out of work as a result of these increasingly absurd COVID-19 government restrictions. (I will return…
By Hugo Jenks, Islam Spokesman DHIMMI STATUS Within countries controlled by Islam there are traditionally three choices for non-Muslims: convert to Islam, be executed, or live as a Dhimmi. This third option was usually available only to the “people of the Book”, namely the Christians and Jews. The strict rules have been varied at different…
By Mike Speakman, Retired Deputy Chief Constable Policing, Law & Order Spokesman Many professionals from the police and other public bodies warned against the creation of Police and Crime Commissioners. They warned it would politicise policing, it would undermine the independence of the police and introduce a heavy political element into policing. Not true we…
Anne Marie Waters Sunday October 18th 2020 I’ve been clear in the past in my views on the media. I believe it to be nothing short of evil, and I do not use that word casually. To wilfully and knowingly misinform an entire population, stirring up panic, spreading outright lies, and then sitting back…
By Hugo Jenks, Spokesman on Islam ALLAHU AKBAR A teacher was beheaded by a Muslim man after he had discussed free speech in his classroom. Before discussing this topic, he had asked Muslim pupils to leave the room. The article: “Footage captures the moment Chechen gunman, 18, is shot by French police after BEHEADING a…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday 13th October 2020 I’ll return to my series of reviews of Thomas Sowell’s Economic Facts and Fallacies in the coming weeks, but for now, Rishi Sunak has announced his latest plans for the economy. It will involve a lot more spending, and a lot more uncertainty as to where that…
Hugo Jenks, Islam Spokesman The following contains correspondence with the Charity Commission regarding concerns, as widely documented, with Islamic charities and the Commissions approach to them. SCRIPTURAL INSTRUCTIONS There are numerous verses in the Koran that instruct Muslims to give to charity. It is a key pillar of Islam. The uses to which this charity…
Anne Marie Waters Sunday 11th October 2020 Earlier this week, I spoke to Mike Walker, For Britain’s new education spokesman. You can view the discussion here. As promised, I will now look in more detail at new government guidance in to teaching about relationships, sex, and health. This is crucial. It is crucial because…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday October 6th 2020 In recent weeks, I’ve been covering the work and ideas of American economist Thomas Sowell by reviewing his book Economic Facts and Fallacies. I will continue this review in the coming weeks, but for now, a look at the current economic situation in Britain is warranted. Once…
Anne Marie Waters Sunday October 4th 2020 It’s been a strange week yet again. It seems that every week this year has been a strange one, characterised by new and silly rules that few can follow, or a press that parrots the government line without question, or just flat-out nastiness from the usual suspects. …
Over the last few years we have seen increasing examples of how the British Police service has implemented two separate models of policing. This perversion of “one law for all” first became apparent as the grooming gang scandal was exposed in more and more forces across the whole country. It became apparent that these gangs…
Mike Walker September 29th 2020 Sometimes your whole world can change overnight. Everything you’re accustomed to, and which made you happy, is gone in just a few short hours. This can happen in times of war to a conquered people. The physical devastation of a bomb blast is clearly evident, causing the destruction of…
Anne Marie Waters September 29th 2020 In this series of blogs, I’m looking at some of the ideas of the American economist Thomas Sowell, and specifically his book Economic Facts and Fallacies. You can read parts one and two here. This week’s topic is highly topical and Sowell puts forward the most fascinating arguments…
Anne Marie Waters September 27th 2020 A policeman has been shot dead in Croydon by a suspect who had been arrested and transported to custody. Somehow, through his arrest and transport, he had managed to conceal a gun to use when he arrived at the station, killing the officer before reportedly turning the gun…
Boris’s announcement that he will use the military to back up the police has quite rightly raised alarm across the political spectrum, and I think shows signs of confusion in the senior ranks of the government. Firstly, I accept that there are not enough police officers to do the job, the consequence of more than…
Anne Marie Waters September 22nd 2020 In the first of this blog series (you can read part one here) I looked at the concept of fallacy as put forward by noted economist Thomas Sowell in his book ‘Economic Facts and Fallacies’. In part one, I described Sowell’s definition of the word ‘fallacy’, which he…
In the Middle Ages, mankind started to look beyond religious reasons to explain the world around them. The transition from Alchemy to Chemistry was a painful one as many enlightened thinkers and brilliant minds were persecuted for daring to suggest theories that contradicted the religious status quo. Famously Galileo was placed under arrest for publishing…
Anne Marie Waters September 15th 2020 Here we go again. Yet another rule has been plucked out of the air, yet another demand that we alter even the most basic elements of our lives – this time, talking to our neighbours. Home Secretary Priti Patel has confirmed that stopping in the street to chat…
Anne Marie Waters Sunday September 13th 2020 On my most recent Monday night livestream (which you can see here) I opened a Pandora’s Box; I delved in to the life of billionaire Bill Gates. It was shocking. This man has global power, masses of it, and yet he is accountable to no-one. Governments, including…
By Hugo Jenks, For Britain Spokesman on Islam 11th September 2020 Out of a blue sky, passenger planes smashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York. A plane also smashed into the Pentagon and another was heading towards Washington D.C., but hit the ground in open countryside, as the passengers…
Monty Brack September 9th 2020 In the For Britain Movement, we believe that we have a responsibility towards future generations and to conserve an unspoilt and diverse environment. A healthy environment is the basis for human life for this and future generations. However, nature conservation should not be to the detriment of mankind. Nature…
Anne Marie is having a weekend of activism, so this week’s Sunday Column has been written by the Party Chairman. “Respect your elders” A phrase we can all remember being told when growing up. And with good reason too. As life develops, we realise that much of the advice and comment given to us by…
By Councillor Karen King According to a House of Commons Briefing paper, published in 2019, ‘figures from MHCLG show that, for the year ending March 2019, 94% of planning applications in England were delegated to officers’. I believe unelected officers making such decisions is wrong and needs to change. By allowing the electorate to make…
Steven Porter, Mid Kent Chairman 1st September 2020 Love it or loath it, technology is now embedded in our daily lives. It’s certainly not going away and we are all impacted by technology developments. In many ways we all have a choice in how we use and engage with technology. However, sometimes we have no…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday September 1st 2020 You may be familiar with Thomas Sowell, the American economist. If not, I recommend his work. He grew up in Harlem and is now a senior fellow at America’s prestigious Stanford University. Sowell is not your average “PC” academic, he’s willing to put forward the sensible view…
Frankie Rufolo August 30th 2020 Back in June, there was an online promotion for a “Black Lives Matter” event on the cathedral green in Exeter. One of the pictures used was of a black girl throwing some shade at Nigel Farage when he and Ann Widdecombe briefly visited Exeter for the European elections. I…
Anne Marie Waters Sunday August 30th 2020 Yesterday I used public transport for the first time since ‘the madness’ began. There are plenty of occasions we could name as the start of the ‘the madness’, but for the sake of argument, let’s make it the day the world stood still, our shops closed, and…
By Mike Speakman, Law & Order & Policing Spokesman 26th August 2020 I may stray from my usual brief in this blog, but at heart it really is a law and order issue. The country is being undermined from so many different angles that many people, including me, must wonder what is going on. Despite…
Anne Marie Waters Wednesday August 26th 2020 There is a strange feeling about Dover, something it’s difficult to quite put your finger on. On Saturday, August 22nd, several members of For Britain travelled to the Kent coastal town to see what we would find. We found tension….. and a lot of discarded boats. Dover has…
Monday August 24th 2020 DP Climate alarmism claims to be grounded in science. In reality, however, it displays many of the hallmarks of a religion – and a fundamentalist one at that. In this article, I’m going to discuss how this manifests and indulge myself in some amateur psychology. In a previous article I’ve…
By Cllr M Americanos-Molinaro, Hertfordshire Branch Chair 19th August 2020 Recently, an opinion column poured scorn on local Councillors trying to respect constituents’ wishes on planning and housing issues. Their sarcastic tone accused local groups of wanting to “preserve in aspic” the areas in which they live. It appeared that they thought little of ‘developing’…
Anne Marie Waters Tuesday August 11th 2020 It feels as though this column only ever features bad news, but that is hardly surprising given the times we are in. Those times are tough and getting tougher. It’s worth a quick recap to remind ourselves where we are. It began in mid March, just about…
Anne Marie Waters Sunday August 9th 2020 Last weekend I spoke at a rally in London demanding the deportation of the ‘Rochdale three’. These are three men convicted of raping and pimping girls in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. They were jailed, stripped of their citizenship, and “deported”. Yet somehow they remain in the country to…
DP August 7th 2020 We have been trained to think of carbon dioxide as a pollutant. Use of the phrase ‘carbon pollution’ has become standard, by both politicians and the media. Often, ‘carbon’ is used interchangeably with ‘carbon dioxide’ in order to link the two and implant the idea that this clear, odourless gas,…
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…
By DP 2nd July 2020 This article focuses on a single issue: the idea of a ‘consensus’ on human-caused climate change in the scientific community. I’ll be discussing the origins of this notion in some detail, because it is absolutely pivotal to the climate change narrative, and understanding how it arose is essential to debunking…
Richard Carlyon Tuesday 28th July 2020 The London branch recently opposed an application to turn part of the famous ‘Troc’, or Trocadero, building into a mega mosque. We learned from this struggle that the whole building, well-known to generations of Londoners, is owned by a company of Muslim origin. On hearing this I recalled…
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…
By Frankie Rufolo, Member & Activist 27th July 2020 Recently, Frankie Rufolo commented on Hong Kong during a livestream and was invited to write a blog and make a case for the protests and to re-unify Britain and Hong Kong. These are Frankie’s views and do not necessarily reflect the view of the party. —…
We have all heard the claim that Islam is the fastest growing religion, a claim implying that, were it the case, this would somehow prove Islam’s truth and value. Whether Islam is growing is debatable. What seems less open to debate is that Islam is spreading: many countries that till relatively recently had negligible Moslem…
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…
By Mike Speakman; Law & Order / Policing Spokesman 24th July 2020 The desire to increase minority representation in the police service is rising up the political agenda, again. I have lost count of the number of times the Home Office has believed the way to improve relations between the police and minority groups is…
Climate Change: Science or Politics? By DP Recently, Paul Burgess has been producing a series of videos on climate change. These are an excellent resource, presenting information on this subject in a way that all of us can understand. As the subject of ‘man-made climate change’ has been a preoccupation of mine for years, I’d…
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…
By Mike Speakman, Policing and Law & Order Spokesman, ex Deputy Chief Constable. 8th July 2020 We all know about the knife crime epidemic in London, but we never thought it would extend up to the highest ranks of the Metropolitan Police Service. Cressida Dick has stabbed her own officers in the back and then…
By Hugo Jenks, Islam Spokesman I remember the morning of 7/7/2005. It started uneventfully for me. I walked to my job at a small engineering company in Walton on Thames, greeted my colleagues, and settled down to my tasks for the day. A colleague then said there were explosions in London. As the picture clarified,…
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…
by Hugo Jenks, Islam Spokesman 1st July 2020 The purpose of a court of law is to ascertain the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and to administer justice based upon truthful findings. Yet the search for truthfulness is sidelined when Islam is involved. Two court cases in England have demonstrated this…
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…
By Frankie Rufolo June 29th 2020 I remember taking part in the members’ poll last year when this unusual issue came up. I later discussed it with Anne Marie Waters herself and some older For Britain members at a meeting we had in Plymouth that summer (unfortunately, having to miss the opportunity to heckle some…
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…
Mike Speakman Sunday 21st June 2020 Whilst the deaths and attacks in Reading may not be directly attributable to the preceding Black Lives Matter rally, Black Lives Matter’s rhetoric has created a climate of division based on race which may incite some people to acts of violence against British citizens. The media are providing…
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…
Alex Merola Thursday June 11th 2020 In November 2018, six suspects handed themselves over to the police. The police, in turn, scrambled to see if they could be charged with a crime. Their offence? Burning a cardboard effigy of Grenfell Tower. Like a shark at the first scent of fresh blood, the media went…
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…
By Mike Speakman, ex Deputy Chief Constable, Policing Spokesman 4th June 2020 I frequently write in these blogs that I am ashamed of the state of modern policing. I never thought that I would see worse than rainbow laces, rainbow make up, dancing bobbies and inaction within sight of flagrant breaches of the law. I…
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,…
By Orlagh McGlade, Doctor and For Britain Member 14th May 2020 Over the past few years I have been thinking a lot about the demographic change taking place around us, whereby relatively low European birth rates and mass immigration are literally changing the face of Europe. As a significant proportion of my generation remain without…
By Mike Speakman, Nominations Officer 13th May 2020 Anne Marie’s mention of visiting the Buchenwald concentration camp, and the impact it made during her recent livestream prompted a memory. In the early 1970s, I think it was 1972, I went to Denmark with a small group of British Policemen. We went in full uniform and…
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…
I wish to start by stating this blog does not refer to all Muslims. It certainly does not apply to the wonderful nurses, doctors and others who come to our country to work hard, obey the law and contribute to our society. If only all Muslims displayed the same high standards – our country would…
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…
By Mike Speakman, Law & Order Spokesman 30th April 2020 There is much speculation about the government’s timing of the lockdown; were they too early or were they too late? Many of the government’s opponents claim they were too late, citing South Korea or Taiwan who were very quick to introduce lockdowns. Taiwan in fact…
Guest Article By Frankie Rufolo 30th April 2020 Recently I was impressed by For Britain London’s short film “Behind the Front”, so I decided to follow it up with an article. When you type “The For Britain Movement” into a search engine, the words “far right” come up straight away. It’s important to look at…
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….
By Phil Kemble 21st April 2020 My experience from debating Patriotic Alternative and why Anne Marie’s video on them is so important for our party I have debated conspiracy theorists before but have not done so for several years because the debate always follows a predictable pattern. Your opponent provides some factual information but if…
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…
By Mike Speakman, Law & Order Spokesman 31st March 2020 From my first day at Police training school in 1968 it was drummed into us that we police with the consent of the public. This central tenet of British Policing remained true throughout my service, and throughout the ranks I achieved. Until recently, the British…

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…
By Suarav Dutt, Author & Political Analyst 30th March 2020 Guest articles do not necessarily represent the views of The For Britain Movement. Is this really a lockdown? Where are the police vigilance groups making sure Britons aren’t gathering en masse, hosting barbecues in wide open spaces,cramming together in tube carriages without face masks and…
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…
By Suarav Dutt, Political Analyst & Author 23rd March 2020 When the COVID-19 dust settles, there has to be a reckoning, and the Chinese government cannot be allowed to deflect or deny. There is going to be a new global dispensation after the Coronavirus pandemic is over, and if the Chinese want to be part…
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…
18th March 2020 We are in an ever changing and evolving situation with the Coronavirus pandemic, and many of us are keen to help within our local community as much as possible. With activity on hold for the local elections, For Britain is urging members and activists to help the elderly and vulnerable in your…
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…
By Paul Burgess, Spokesman for the Environment 10th March 2020 The very heart of climate alarmism is the claim that CO2 levels control the temperature of the earth. So let us examine that by simply looking at the history of the earth. Ice core data has provided a very good record of the earth’s historic …
Dr Elle Cockbain is an Associate Professor in Security and Crime Science at University College London. Dr Waqas Tufail is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Leeds Beckett University. Dr Waqas Tufail’s research interests include policing, anti-Muslim racism, and racialisation. Apparently, Muslims are a race. They have written a report together. We have the perfect…
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…
Getting the basics right at school is one of For Britain’s most important policies. Children are leaving our schools without sufficient skills in the most fundamental subjects, such as maths and English. A For Britain member and maths tutor has sent us this account of the mathematics skills she encounters in her work. I am…
Alessandro Merola February 28th 2020 I have always considered myself patriotic. What can I say? I love this country. I am who I am today because of my country. It has given me healthcare, education, a home and a community to belong to. Therefore, I am so saddened to see the current state that…
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…
By Mike Speakman; Retired Deputy Chief Constable, Policing Spokesman 15th February 2020 In recent years, it has sometimes been said, with a sense of irony, that George Orwell’s 1984 was written as fiction, not an implementation manual. This message did not get through to many establishment organisations, including Humberside Police. I served in Humberside Police from…
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…
Response to Boris Johnson stating an additional 20,000 PCs will be recruited. By Andy Thomas 6th February 2020 Andy was a serving officer in a Northern Force for 25 years, uniform, Support Group, CID, Drugs and latterly Intel. Housing officer for 10 yrs working ASB cases in various high crime estates. Married with two children…
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…
2nd Feb 2020 As Party Chair, I enter 2020 with a sense of excitement and anticipation. Brexit (although it may not be perfect) has finally happened. The country feels like it has taken a breath, and all of us can reflect on where we are at. Britain is now an independent nation again, free from…
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,…
By Mike Speakman, Law & Order Spokesman 28th January 2020 As a retired Deputy Chief Constable, I hang my head in shame at the emerging scandal which must be the worst and most damaging to the Police service in my lifetime. It seems that several Police forces and other public organisations have been complicit in…
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…
Kadeeja Adam January 22nd 2020 Something called “The Daily Record” has recently published an article about us, portraying us as some kind of Nazi militia! If there was equal justice in the UK in 2020, this would be defamatory, but we know the legal establishment isn’t prepared to listen to our argument. The article…
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…
By Mike Speakman, Policing Spokesman 13th January 2020 There is a new initiative from the Police Chiefs Council to merge police forces. The last decades have seen an increasing centralisation of policing, geared more to satisfying central government objectives which often have little to do with real policing issues. I believe the government and civil…
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…
Frankie Rufolo January 9th 2020 Based Amy: Guilty of Patriotism Amy Dalla Mura, a passionate Brexiteer, was recently sentenced to 28 days in prison for shouting at Anna Soubry. This should be a national outrage as it sets a dangerous precedent for freedom of speech in the UK. Soubry is gone from Westminster, her uninspiring…
By Paul Burgess B.Sc., M.Sc., C. Eng, Spokesman for the Environment. 8th January 2020 I so wish there was no need for this but there is a need to start to provide a truthful news outlet to the mainstream media distortion. I am currently in new Zealand sitting under an amber haze as a result…
8th January 2020 Imagine for a moment that in Trump’s America, schools started their morning by chanting ‘death to Iran’. There would rightly be a media uproar, and ‘the left’ would be apoplectic with rage. For years, Iranian schools have demanded that pupils chant ‘death to America, Israel and Great Britain’ each day, brainwashing another…
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…
By Paul Burgess B.Sc., M.Sc. C.Eng, Environment Spokesman 6th January 2020 Dr William Happer is a retired professor of physics from Princetown University with over 200 published papers. He was an adviser to the USA government until vice president Gore cleansed the advisors of any different opinions to his own. He is probably the man…
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,…
Barbara Wood December 22nd 2019 In my speech on Freedom, Justice & Democracy at The For Britain Conference 2019, I spoke about the fear that many of us now feel when all we want to do is express an opinion. For those of you that haven’t seen the speech you can watch it here. In…
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 –…
Frankie Rufolo December 19th 2019 As soon as Boris Johnson’s victory was declared, the chattering classes of anti-Brexit politicians, journalists and commentators from the Remainstream media, as well as D-list celebrities among the Twitter mobs, repeated the lie that everyone who wants a real exit from the EU is a racist bigot. We’ve been…
16th December 2019 We now have 5 years of a Conservative government with a large majority. Brexit, even if not the pure form we would prefer, is happening and so it is time for the UK to start focussing on other issues. It is time for a patriotic party to fill the vacuum left by…
By Paul Burgess, Environment Spokesman 12th December 2019 Are you sitting comfortably? My story is about two men, Paul and John sitting on a bench in a park. Paul is the dreamer of the two but occasionally comes up with a good idea, whilst John is much more down to earth. Paul: “Looking at those…
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…
Supermarkets made a commitment to stop selling caged hen eggs by 2025. For Britain believes this is not enough! The onus must be on the government to create tougher animal welfare standards, rather than the foolish dreaming that corporations will ignore higher profits and do the humane thing. Which companies are doing what? Asda, Lidl,…
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 Paul Ellis, Legal Officer 30th November 2019 Yesterday’s terror attack on London Bridge brought us images that are now depressingly familiar: Londoners and tourists attacked by a knife wielding jihadi, tales of heroism and tragedy, and the suspension of general election campaigning. Little was more formulaic than the statements of thoughts and prayers from…
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…
Mike Speakman 27th November 2019 Policing issues are of some relevance in this election, now only two weeks away. Parties are making commitments which they may or may not keep, but the trend is generally in the right direction. As we all know, police numbers have been cut drastically since 2010, at the instigation…
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…
From Nissar Hussain, Islam Spokesman 22nd November 2019 Here’s to Sharia Enforcement! Halal – ujah! “We have suffered a total and unmitigated defeat… and I do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning.” Churchill on Munich What Churchill had to say on Chamberlain’s appeasement is quite appropriate…
By Paul Burgess, Spokesman on the Environment 18/11/19 A short Note Explaining the IPCC: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change This is assumed to be a scientific body but it is not. It organises scientists from many counties to produce reports on this basis:- Each scientist must conform to its own government’s rules and policies. They…
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….
Dear UKIP Member, As an ex member of UKIP myself, it gives me no pleasure to see the party destroy itself with ever increasing internal warfare. Like so many others, I left due to the politics within the party, and the inconsistency of views from top to bottom. Gerard Batten helped UKIP financially with a…
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 a retired fund manager and For Britain member Our economy and indeed, the global economy, is in a far more fragile state than we are being told. There is one word for it and that word is debt. We are drowning in the stuff yet it remains largely invisible until something like Carillion or…
By Nissar Hussain – For Britain Islam Spokesman 2nd October 2019 I think I am going to get an MP to propose a new law or regulation that will save lives. You would think that with the duty of care fetish system we now live under that this would be an easy task, a no-brainer….
By Paul Ellis, Legal Officer 19th September 2019 The news watching public have sat through more parliamentary votes and debates over standing orders and Erskine May over the past three years than is normal for a whole lifetime. The respite from more Brexit that came with prorogation of parliament has proved brief as the battle…
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…
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…
by Paul Ellis, Legal Officer 29th August 2019 When I was a teacher of law, one of my favourite classes concerned the rule of law. To make a potentially rather dull and theoretical topic more engaging for my students, I devised a fiendishly complicated game. The game had a board with a start and a…
By Mike Speakman (Law & Order Spokesperson) 22nd August 2019 One of the themes drummed into me at basic police training was that it is imperative that the police do not take sides. Respect and trust for the police was seen as conditional on our fairness and impartiality. I soon experienced practical examples of this….
URGENT. Here is our letter to our MP – please send a similar one to your MP too. We can change things. Politicians and the press…
In late 2018/early 2019 parliament’s Home Affairs Committee undertook a consultation in the supposed definition of ‘Islamophobia’.
There are few media figures as inoffensive as Stacey Dooley. Dooley is an investigative journalist who makes excellent documentaries…
Come join fellow betrayed citizens on the 29th of March at 11:00AM at Westminster Station – London. For Britain For Brexit
I expect little from the BBC, but this was extraordinary even by their standards. I appeared on BBC One’s ‘Big Questions’ on Sunday
The furore surrounding verbal abuse issued towards Conservative MP Anna Soubry has once again revealed the staggering pro-Remain
A lot was written about the absurd “Women’s March” that took place in Washington last year. Feminists from across…
