The state of. . .

The state of British politics appears to reflect a broader decline in our national character. The old qualities for which Britain was once renowned across the globe - backbone, decency, resilience, quiet determination, and clarity of purpose - seem to have given way to dithering, indecision, and a paralysis born of political correctness.

What was once a culture of resolve now feels rudderless, and the current political landscape offers a stark illustration of that loss.

Britain and the UK are sly corporate words to be on their citizenSHIP. if you want to be free and back on land, the actual law, you'll have to do what I and others do, but they'll hunt ya. You are of the soil and their charge has ended

I understand that perspective, but I don’t agree. Britain and the UK aren’t corporate fictions — they’re nations shaped by law, history and shared duty. Citizenship isn’t a trap; it’s the bond of rights and responsibilities.

“Of the soil” sounds poetic, but we live under real law — made by Parliament, upheld by courts, grounded in the people’s consent.

If we want backbone and resolve back, it won’t come from rejecting the nation. It comes from holding power to account and taking responsibility as citizens. Freedom lives inside the law, not outside it.

Yes, the law of the land that breathes and allows life . Its poetic because its literally the only reason we are all here together at this time again and you'll notice the significant power of what's inside about to come back out, it's cyclical and inevitable, the signs most ignore but need help from your very captors is Stockholm syndrome. Vote your power away if you so desire, you'll find your way eventually. Have fun in praying to false idols, it's working well for you all as long as you're fine and dandy. Times up

Let’s run those qualities - especially decency - past the people of Ireland, India, China, Kenya, Malaya etc. etc. etc., not to mention the working class of our own nations. What we’re probably most renowned for is ignoring/whitewashing our history.

The human collective has refused in unity, those still pretending to be in charge are feeding us all fibs but it doesn't matter now, all we need to be is human and keep being human, many of us are being separated by the others by a far greater law that maritime lure (literally). The generational trauma of the ancestors ends with us, then we begin again without the others

Fair point, imperialism certainly had victims, and no balanced history ignores that. But if we’re running those qualities past Ireland, India, Kenya etc., we also have to run the significant imperialist legacy past them too: parliamentary democracy, common law, habeas corpus, independent judiciaries, economics, civil services, railways, engineering, telegraph, modern medicine and universities. Those certainly weren’t whitewashed in. They were built, often adopted and kept after independence. History isn’t a ledger with only one column. Empire was of its time, and like all history it carried both harm and institutions that billions now live under with freedom and by choice.

In response to both of your postings _amantha111, I think we’re talking past each other. My point was about national character — backbone, resilience, taking responsibility. Britain isn’t a corporate fiction to escape from. It’s a real country with real problems that need real citizens. Opting out, waiting for some ‘cycle’ or ‘greater law’, isn’t resolve. It’s abdication. Backbone means staying in the arena: using the courts, the ballot box, free speech, and holding power to account. That’s the law of the land — made by Parliament, grounded in centuries of common law, and ours to shape. Freedom without responsibility is just avoidance. And avoiding responsibility is exactly the decline I was talking about.

Yes, I can see the same too. A lot has been askew since Covid — the lockdowns, the divisions, the sense that nobody’s steering, the way in which status quo was often ignored. That’s why I referred previously to national character. A dystopian mood sets in when backbone and clarity of purpose go missing. We got dithering and paralysis instead. The way out isn’t nostalgia for how things were. It’s citizens deciding to take responsibility again: holding power to account, speaking plainly, doing the work. Resolve is the antidote to dystopia.

Explains a lot, writing everything off as self-serving means you never have to hold anyone to account. It’s just another excuse to give up. Cynicism is easy. Standards are much harder.

We are lied to, poisoned in air, food and water, your umbilical cords are cut at 9 month premature instead of 11 (the number of the door to here and out), and you're led to live the lives you've lived for their sustenance. Humans reincarnate and that scientific fact, the fact that you've all been here this long by "unforgiven" actions towards you. Affects us all around you. Some may have followed the trauma past and I am very aware of what's what here, I'll be seen as the bad guy as usual, this isn't your first time captured, but many of us that you'll hunt are the ones that love life thar speak truth. Sorry but you got lied to from the start, this will be amended

Politicians don’t think about the people that voted for them. It’s more about them being in power or what they can gain from it.

"Bring back the political elite, housemaids and rickets - yay"

The political class still tends to view itself as the elite, yet unlike the old school politicians of calibre, many today lack the strength of character, public-mindedness, staying power, calm resolve, analytical reasoning and focused vision we once expected. These have been superseded by egotism, hesitancy, ambiguity, and a caution that stalls decision-making. When the going gets tough, they fail to weather the storm — abandoning ship while claiming great achievements, despite being unfit to govern. Some don't even have the very basics of intellect required for the job, as becomes obvious the moment they try to speak publicly and often self ridicule is the unfortunate result.

What do you and others do, and who is hunting you? Try not to be vague in your response.
