We are being led by fools The shocking case of Abdul Shakoor Ezedi FEB 2
Matt Goodwin
I’m angry. I’m upset. And this is not a normal post.
In case you’ve not heard, a major manhunt is currently underway in Britain for a man named Abdul Shakoor Ezedi.
Who is he?
Let me tell you.
In 2016, Abdul Shakoor Ezedi entered Britain illegally from Afghanistan in a lorry.
He then applied for asylum, twice, and was turned down on both occasions.
Was he then removed from Britain?
Nope. He stayed in the country.
In 2018, Ezedi then went on to commit a sexual assault and indecent exposure.
What happened then?
He was given a suspended sentence, meaning he did not go to jail.
What happened after that?
Well, having already been convicted of a serious crime, Abdul Ezedi then applied for asylum for a third time.
This time he was … successful.
Why?
Because now he claimed he was “a Christian”, which was endorsed by a priest.
Then, last night, Abdul Shakoor Ezedi committed something which, to be honest, I struggled to respond to on live television.
He attacked a mother and her two daughters in London with a corrosive substance, leaving them with what police describe as “life-changing injuries”.
Let me say that again.
He doused a woman and her two daughters with an alkaline substance.
And that’s not all.
At one point during the horrific ordeal, as you can see here, Ezedi pulled a three-year-old daughter out of the car and repeatedly threw her on the ground like a rag doll—presumably trying to kill her.
I would like to ask the very senior politicians and members of the cabinet who read this Substack each week some questions.
Why was this man in Britain?
Seriously, why was this man in the country?
Why on earth was he allowed to stay after entering the country illegally?
Why was he then not deported after committing a sexual assault?
And why was then given asylum after committing such a serious crime?
The answer, in short, is because we are led by fools.
We are led by people who simply have no serious interest in prioritising the security and the safety of the British people above an international ‘human rights’ regime.
We are led by a new elite —comprised of left-leaning judges, lawyers, Home Office officials, supranational courts, hapless politicians, and the surrounding charity industrial complex— which seemingly has no problem at all with open borders, illegal immigration, and allowing the likes of Ezedi to stay in Britain.
We are led by a Luxury Belief Class which routinely advocate soft policies on illegal migration and ‘human rights’ which bring them few costs and more social status from other elites while imposing enormous costs on everybody else, like that poor mother and her two children who will never recover from this attack.
We are led by a new elite which continually rushes to defend a human rights regime which consistently makes the task of removing foreign national offenders who have been found guilty of committing crimes in Britain especially difficult.
We are led by a new elite which in recent years has consistently allowed murderers, rapists, violent criminals and others to avoid deportation flights at the last minute —like the 23 criminals who were taken off a flight to Jamaica despite holding 156 years worth of prison sentences among them for murder, rape, and child grooming.
We are led by a new elite which has consistently failed to push back against judges who recently ruled that an ISIS terrorist sympathiser could remain in the country on the grounds of human rights —despite the security services warning he posed a serious terror threat to the British people.
We are led by a new elite which has allowed some 12,000 foreign national offenders (FNOs) who are subject to deportation to remain living in Britain after finishing their prison sentences, which is almost three times the figure a decade ago.
Many of these foreign national offenders, like Ezedi, as Ed West points out, have also gone on to commit even more crimes.
Remarkably, they include more than fifty foreign terrorists who cannot be deported, and a rapist who cannot be removed from Britain because, apparently, he would not receive “the right medical treatment” back home.
Much of this flows from the new elite’s continual support of our membership of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which is also contributing to our inability to stop the rising number of small boats entering Britain illegally.
And this is now having serious downstream effects on everybody else, not least that poor mother and two children who were attacked by Ezedi last night.
Many of the most recent and serious Islamist terrorist attacks on Britain’s streets were perpetrated by men claiming asylum —like those in Manchester, Liverpool, Reading, and London, while other attacks are clearly being downplayed.
This is simply not what most most ordinary people want. It is the very opposite of what they want. Most British people want the number of illegal migrants to be slashed and for those who do come to the country to play by the rules.
As I pointed out yesterday, if you ask the British people what they think should happen to foreign nationals who commit serious crimes, the vast majority, typically around three-quarters of them, say “remove them from the country”.
They feel much the same about foreign nationals who glorify Islamist terror —74% say we should remove foreign nationals who glorify terrorism from the country, which no doubt includes some of those radical Islamists who just forced Mike Freer MP to resign from public office (that’s right, radical Islamists have just essentially forced a Member of Parliament out of office because of his political views).
And it’s the same story, by the way, in countries like France, where more than 80% of people would support laws which make it easier to deport foreign nationals who are living in the country illegally, or who have committed serious crimes.
So, yes, I’m angry and I’m upset.
Once again, we find ourselves in the utterly ridiculous and frustrating position of having to watch an illegal migrant who had already committed crimes going on to launch a horrific ordeal against a mother and her two young children.
Once again, we are forced to contrast all those utterly vacuous slogans that are repeated by our Zombie-like elites — “diversity our strength!”— with the reality of what is actually unfolding on Britain’s streets today, with the reality of what happens when you import huge numbers of mainly young, Muslim men from the likes of Afghanistan who simply do not share our values, beliefs, and way of life.
I don’t know about you but my view is this: enough is enough.
We need a new politics that is willing to take on the human rights regime and surrounding charity industrial complex. We need a new politics that prioritises the slashing of illegal (and legal) migration. We need a new politics that does whatever it takes to strengthen Britain’s borders and protect the British people. We need a new politics which, ultimately, makes it crystal clear that the safety and security of the British people will always be prioritised above the interests of foreign criminals.
And we need it now.
ENGLAND CALLING - So what do we do? There's dozens of commentators crying their eyes out today. What do we do to stop the endless descent into the abyss taking place on our streets day by day. Get out of UK.
UK is not to be trusted with governing human beings. UK doesn't care about England and English people. They are sold out to world government bodies like UN, WEF, and WHO who want us destroyed one way or another.
The English Democrats must launch the proposed referendum policy for England to exit UK ASAP and promote the concept far and wide. If that doesn't wake up the criminals in government, nothing else will. If they fail again, they know we'll be going, and they'll no longer be required. British nonsense is over. That's an island not a country and the people of England, Scotland and Wales can do better, and must do so by getting out of UK..

Totalitarianism is the warm bath in which civilization slits its wrists. It envelops the people with petty rules, strange dogmas, immoral duties, and forced sacrifices. It warms its victims with intoxicating promises of the government’s false love. It leaves the citizen naked — stripped first of his free will, then the thoughts in his head, and finally anything he once called his own. It slowly dispossesses each person of his personhood, until the population withers into frail, colorless facsimiles of the bleak, omnipresent State. Without the courage to act, the desire to think, the wisdom to pray, or the conscience to object, human purpose disappears. Society is exsanguinated of its vitality, creativity, spirituality, and mirth — until it slips beneath the water and stops breathing.
This was the story of Lenin’s Soviet Union and the imprisoned nations trapped behind Stalin’s Iron Curtain. It was the story of Hitler’s Germany, Mussolini’s Italy, Mao’s China, and Pol Pot’s Cambodia. It has been the story of Kim’s North Korea, Castro’s Cuba, Chávez’s Venezuela, and the ayatollahs’ Iran. For over a century, humanity has endured one form of barbarous totalitarianism after the next. It slithers into unsuspecting countries — often hiding behind the mask of democratic elections. It misrepresents itself as just one political party of many before announcing itself as the only party for all. It seeks to eliminate opponents in stages: first it proselytizes, then it intimidates, and finally it murders. With a couple hundred million victims over the last century alone, it is a governing philosophy that specializes in mass executions, dank prison cells, killing fields, and concentration camps. Totalitarianism infiltrates society with lies and builds nothing but the machinery of death.
With the Earth still wet from so much blood, Western governments now seek to turn the twenty-first century into the twentieth century’s even bloodier reflection. It is humbling to realize that we humans repeat so many mistakes through the course of history. It is infuriating, however, to watch today’s political leaders push humanity down the exact same paths that led to such monstrous tragedies in the recent past. When will the lesson be learned that censorship of opposing points of view leads to irreparable social division? When will governments grasp that coercion only intensifies the human desire to be free? When will courts realize that two-tiered justice and political persecution ensure the rule of law’s demise? How many more lives must be lost before those who exercise power understand that tyranny always leads to terror?
Totalitarian control over each citizen’s life was the driving force behind the outbreak of WWII and the prolonged isolation of closed societies surviving under the blanket of communism during the Cold War. Germans uniquely possess the social memories of both totalitarian perpetrator and victim — first driving the Nazi ideology across the European continent and then suffering through a half-century of bifurcation and Soviet oppression in the East. They experienced the temporary euphoria of trading their individual lives for the greater glory of the German State and the torturous agony of submitting to an occupying force that required absolute obedience. If any nation of people should have learned the harsh repercussions of totalitarianism, it is Germany.
Instead, today’s German leaders seek to ban opposition political parties and silence dissent. They micromanage economic activity under the dangerous propaganda campaign of “climate change.” They disrupt social cohesion and cultural unity by opening Germany’s borders to illegal aliens from unassimilable civilizations. They use the horrors of their own past to slander political protesters as “fascists.” Nearly a century ago, German Nazis rose to power by dehumanizing much of Europe. Now their ideological descendants dehumanize those who oppose growing German totalitarianism by ironically branding them as Nazis. And in this strange milieu of historical contradiction, the German Klaus Schwab has built the World Economic Forum as an engine for making oppressive government universal. Even after the devastation of WWII and the Iron Curtain, it seems Western leaders still have no “vaccine” for the totalitarian disease.
It is a strange sight to see Western nations send their parliamentary leaders, foreign ministers, military generals, and prominent business executives to Schwab’s WEF powwows, where they may organize how best to dominate and manipulate their respective national populations without even the pretense of a democratic mandate or constitutional legitimacy. This time around, totalitarianism returns to the West not on the heels of invasion and annexation but rather with light bacchanal celebrations in the crisp air of the Swiss Alps. It seems that the only thing aspiring Western tyrants learned from the twentieth century’s carnage is that would-be totalitarians should not waste resources fighting one another when their common enemy has always been the people. During the age of monarchies and empires, the easiest way to conquer foreign lands was to purchase their nobles. That is what the World Economic Forum and its cabal of globalist conquerors do today.
Perhaps the most pungent indicator that Western totalitarianism has returned with a vengeance is the World Economic Forum’s Orwellian insistence that its members are working to combat “threats to our democracy.” Financial and political oligarchs pretending to protect the people’s will is indistinguishable from a fox entrusted to guard the henhouse: the vulnerable always end up dead.
There is nothing “democratic” about labeling dissent as “disinformation.” There is nothing “democratic” about conspiring with tech companies to censor public debate as “hate speech.” There is nothing “democratic” about imposing top-down “climate change” regulations that do nothing other than strip private property rights and centralize economic control. There is nothing “democratic” about mandating what farmers may grow, what meats may be eaten, what people may own, what words can be said, or what experimental “vaccines” are required to work. There is nothing “democratic” about using central banks’ manipulation of digital monies to control the public’s behavior. The World Economic Forum is a totalitarian machine that undermines the democratic will of all Western peoples and an existential threat to human rights. As one astute commenter sardonically advised: “I say we nuke the WEF from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.” It is certainly true that neither global war nor the proliferation of Iron Curtain police states around the world sufficed to eradicate tyrannical fantasies in the minds of brutal men or bury the miseries of totalitarianism for good.
Fundamentally, the WEF’s totalitarians misunderstand history. They believe that easily manipulated people are governed by lies when, in fact, people are desperate for authentic truth. WEF-ers such as Bill Gates, Al Gore, and John Kerry think so little of ordinary people that they terrorize them with scientifically fraudulent warnings of a looming “climate change” apocalypse built around the preposterous notion that poor and middle-class communities can be saved only if they hand over their private property, live in tiny cubicle apartments in fifteen-minute cities, abandon any fondness for personal freedom, and subsist on a diet of bugs.
The fear-inducing power of such malevolent lies does not tend to last. It is why Central and Eastern Europeans rebelled against Soviet communism and collapsed the Iron Curtain. It is why the Chinese Communist Party is so desperate to legitimize its totalitarianism with the pretext that it divinely operates under a “Mandate of Heaven.” It is why the Canadian “Freedom Convoy” confronted Justin Trudeau’s tyranny. It is why Dutch, Polish, German, Romanian, Irish, and French farmers are fighting back against insane “green” policies today.
Because Klaus Schwab’s evil club has effectively disenfranchised the people, there is now a growing popular revolt throughout the West that could easily combust into an anti-Establishment “Reign of Terror.” The WEF desires the West’s suicide. Let us band together and choose life instead.
