The Ukraine War is a British product. The idea was to smash Russia, ensuring that China and other nations couldn’t break free from the financial overlords in the City of London. The monied interests that use Britain as their headquarters for global rent-extraction needed Russia out of the way so they could keep dictating terms to the world. The plan was simple: provoke a war, bait Russia into it, bleed it dry, and then move on to China. This has now gone spectacularly wrong.
The war has been an embarrassing, expensive disaster, and the more pragmatic faction of the American ruling class has had enough. The deal being lined up is straightforward: Russia will get what it wants, and the Americans will be allowed claim a diplomatic victory. The talk of defending democracy, Ukrainian sovereignty, and the “rules-based international order” will be quietly binned. It turns out Western leadership has all the strategic foresight of a blindfolded man playing darts after ten pints.
On Thursday, Keir Starmer will meet President Trump, and he’ll be told in no uncertain terms: cut the anti-Russian nonsense. No more virtue-signalling about the brave Ukrainians. No more bellicose rhetoric. London’s financial overlords won’t like it, but they’ve lost this round, and Washington’s calling the shots. Whether Starmer gets a bit of grace to pull off his ideological U-turn without looking completely ridiculous is up for negotiation. But make no mistake, the man will be taking a full-speed reverse into Orwell’s Victory Square, cheering as he erases a decade of his own propaganda.
If there’s one lesson in all this, it’s that the financial sector isn’t “the Jewel in our National Crown”—it’s a cuckoo in our nest. For a century at least, the City of London has been using Britain as a base to pull off its international rent-seeking schemes, leaving the rest of the country to rot. The result? Endless wars, economic sabotage, and a government that functions like the middle management of a company that’s permanently downsizing. The Ukraine fiasco is just the latest proof that the British ruling class isn’t interested in running a country—it’s only interested in keeping the City’s con going.
The only way out of this mess is a complete change of direction. Britain needs to ditch its role as the global finance mafia’s enforcer and start running things in the actual interests of its people. That means cutting ties with the mad schemes cooked up in Washington and the City, rebuilding a real economy instead of this hollowed-out service-sector joke, and making sure our government works for us rather than being a front office for international money-men.
This won’t happen overnight, and it won’t happen willingly. But as the system starts to crack, opportunities will arise. When they do, we need to be ready to drive a stake through the heart of the parasites who’ve run this country into the ground.
