English Democrats Party

Re: Spring Conference in Rutland

After our successful conference on the 8th March I think all those who attended had a very interesting and enjoyable weekend.

I was asked by several people who were there to send out my speech and I thought that all of our members and supporters might be interested.

Here is the text of my speech:-

Ladies & Gentlemen

Welcome to the English Democrats’ Spring Conference.

I first want to give a bit thank you to Stephen and Val Morris and all who helped set up our conference.

We meet again in our very comfortable hotel in that heart of England which is the county of Rutland.

Rutland’s motto is Multum in Parvo “ Much in a little place” and Rutland has a thousand years of proud history behind it. It even has its own Duke! Needless to say the anti-English British Establishment and Labour Government want to abolish Rutland.

Recently the Substack, Jupplandia, published an excellent article about the Establishment’s anti-English agenda which I want to thank Bridget for pointing out to me.

To give you a taste of what is said and how perfect it is for our Party, I am going to read some extracts:-

The article is called:-

“Anglophobia and the Ruling Class

The Starmer government is at war with Englishness. So is the entire British ruling class.

Jupplandia

Feb 10, 2025”

Jupplandia starts with some general observations.

“History, the tired cliche asserts, is written by the winners.

That has been the exact opposite of the truth in the modern world. In the ancient world.

In commenting on the Mel Gibson film “The Patriot” Jupplandia says:-

Taking a Nazi crime of burning people alive in a church having sealed the doors as an English crime from two centuries earlier, when no such event actually occurred, represents a sickening level of prejudice, but one which the vast majority of people, including the English, saw no problem with. Braveheart and The Patriot were enjoyed by US audiences of English descent, and by English cinema goers too, as their only film medium experience of this ‘history’. Being generally either ignorant of the real history altogether, or having only experienced similarly prejudiced material in leftist and progressive classroom texts and discussions, the modern audience could sit through their own ancestors being traduced and their own ethnicity and nation (or original Mother Country) being demonised and slandered without even realising that such criticism was unjust, that such criticism was historically inaccurate, and that such criticism builds modern Anglophobic racism in the real world too.

Many of those enjoying these movies were incapable of understanding that they, down to their very DNA, were the targets of this prejudice.

There can be few more racist positions than to believe one race is responsible for all the evils of the world, one race invented conquest and oppression, one race and only one race has ever harmed others, one race is by nature incapable of being anything other than a vicious exploiter and oppressor and one race bears an ineradicable ancestral guilt that can never be expunged while that same one race can never, ever, be the victim or the one who is oppressed.

Yet this has been the settled assumption of race legislation, university education, and the ruling classes of our western societies since the 1960s, with these prejudices manifested through affirmative action, through demands for ‘representation’ in advertising, through how drama, film and television portrays white people, and through how Marxist professors teach ‘history’ to generations of students.

This pervasive, casual, deliberate hypocrisy on racism became the legislative program and standard world view of the parties of the Left, and became too a whole industry of graft, corruption and divisive malice that almost nobody on the Right had the courage to seriously challenge. Part of the impact of the push back against DEI and the work in the USA of DOGE in exposing through auditing the amount of public funds diverted into an army of DEI pushing programmes and organisations is that this represents the first time that any branch of western government, the first time really since the end of World War Two, where some branch of officialdom in the West has dared to act against anti white and anti western majority racism.

Elon Musk is prepared to expose the vast corruption of USAID regardless of whether or not the recipients of the stolen funds and the corrupt actors in the system of fraud screech at him and call him a Nazi. Donald Trump is prepared to do what is necessary to rescue US finances from Globalist Progressive fraud and waste and to do what is necessary to stop the divisive politics on race, gender and identity the Left thrives on, regardless of whether or not they call him names for doing so.

Japplandia then turns to the English

Anti white racism exists towards all white populations, but begins in and was founded on hatred of the English. Anglophobia provided the template of the racism that came to gradually encompass hatred of all white people, and the victim narrative that justifies or seems to justify such hypocritical prejudice has been most widely expressed, most vehemently believed, and most pervasively applied to the English and their direct descendants.

When history came to be written by the losers and specifically aimed with bitterness and hatred at the historical winners of past conflicts, the biggest winners to find were the English. Leftists delight in telling us that there is barely a nation on Earth that the English did not, at some point, invade. What they typically don’t tell you as part of that narrative is that these invasions were rarely the rapacious enterprises of pure conquest and exploitation they are now assumed to be. The British Empire was built as much by accident as by design, as has famously been recognised many times before. Anyone looking into it deeply enough is soon surprised by the fact that British governments at the height of their power were quite often resisting expansion.

Nevertheless the historical reality is that Britain did build the largest Empire the world has ever seen. And at the head of that, at the heart of it, was England. This process over centuries meant hundreds of battles, both military and diplomatic, it meant defeating other nations at land, by sea, and eventually in the air too. It meant humiliation for the defeated.

There’s an astonishing lack of gratitude from Western Europe for example surrounding the undoubted historic fact that the Empire (and English supremacy in world affairs) really ended by sacrificing itself on behalf of others.

Success breeds bitterness, and greatness is always hated by the losers of history. It doesn’t really matter if the greatness actually was oppressive and evil, or actually was more beneficial and complex than now admitted, the process of winning itself builds envy, loathing, and resentment. Every superpower suffers from this reaction, but compare attitudes towards the Spanish or French and attitudes towards the English. The English get far more abuse for their colonial history than the Spanish do or the French do. The most brutal European colonialism, the European colonialism that DID involve horrific genocide and repeated deliberate horrors, was the Belgian rule of the Congo. Try searching on the internet to groups dedicated to hating Belgians. There aren’t many of those. Just as there aren’t many dedicated to hating the Dutch, the French, the Germans, the Portuguese, or any European colonial power except the British and the English.

The entire modern Labour Party, our current ruling caste of weird Marxist Globalist lunatics, is an Anglophobic enterprise. Labour policy is essentially the destruction of the English. Their money is to be taken and spent on other people. Their land is to be seized and handed to other people, either incoming hordes of migrants or the tender custodianship of foreign corporations and subsidiaries of BlackRock. Their existence as a real ethnicity is to be denied. They are to be told they have no culture. They are to be told they are invaders in their own ancestral lands. They are to be ruled by every other race and identity, and never allowed to question it. They are subject to a deliberate demographic policy of eradication.

The Great Replacement Theory is of course not a ‘white supremacist’ conspiracy theory at all. It’s settled western immigration policy and has been for decades. It is what has been happening since the end of World War II. And nowhere is this policy more powerful, nowhere has it been more enthusiastically adopted and implemented, than in England, by an English middle and upper class who consider it sophisticated and kind to hate their own people and desire their extinction. When you look at Labour policies they are harmful to every British citizen, but the harm is most meant and most deliberate towards the English.

Most of the migrants invited in through open borders and demographic replacement by design settle in England, not in Wales or Scotland. Since Celtic resentment is part of the anti English coalition and still given lip service in Labour circles, the other nations of the United Kingdom have their extra spending allocations like the Barnett formula, their disproportionate representation by number of MPs, and their regional assembles and parliaments. England alone has nothing. The English pay more and receive less, by design.

Similarly, the bulk of the victims of the most disgusting examples of racism within Britain are English. English working class children. The victims of (Pakistani) Muslim rape gangs. And then the working class English adults, made victims too by a two tier policy of policing which sees the system help migrants rape their children, then imprison them for protesting about it or mentioning it or thinking naively that they have the right to oppose it or that they still live in a free country where an opinion on it can be expressed.

Just as much as the Stalin supporting intellectuals of Orwell’s day, and just as much as the Hamas supporting students of the modern era, the Starmer type political leader is a person who is far more shocked and horrified by unapologetic Englishness than he is by the rape of English children. These people are not repulsed by any crime that any migrant engages in, but are repulsed by the flag of St George.

So much for Jupplandia! What do you think of that Ladies and Gentlemen?

Here in England we are in a bit of a strange situation where the Labour Party had only the votes in the 2024 General Election of 8,365,122 in England. That is less than 21% of the electorate but nevertheless they got a super majority in the House of Commons and so Labour are therefore able to change the British constitution itself without losing control of the House of Commons. They want, in particular, to push forward with their attempts to break England up into bogus “Regions”.

This is part of the background of why our usual push of trying to stand in elections is somewhat more difficult this year than usual. The elections that we have got on the 1st May are as follows:-

Cambridgeshire

Derbyshire

Hertfordshire

Lancashire

Lincolnshire

Nottinghamshire

Staffordshire

Unitary Authorities with elections:

Buckinghamshire

Cornwall

County Durham

North Northamptonshire

Northumberland

Shropshire

West Northamptonshire

Wiltshire

The County Councils where elections have been cancelled are as follows:-

Devon East Sussex West Sussex Essex (which means that I cannot stand!) Gloucestershire Hampshire Isle of Wight Kent Leicestershire Norfolk Oxfordshire Suffolk Surrey Thurrock Warwickshire Worcestershire

There are also Directly Elected Mayoral Elections as follows:-

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough

West of England

Doncaster

North Tyneside

Greater Lincolnshire

Hull and East Yorkshire

Labour’s votes in England in the 2024 General Election as I said were 8,365,122, but despite the deliberate burying of the option to give an answer in the 2021 Census of English Only 8,615,444 English people did so. So you can see why Labour fears the English?

The Other Parties

I think in a political meeting it is important that we consider what is happening with the other parties.

Labour

So I will start with Labour, which is obviously in Government, although it has been interesting to see how poor the leadership of Labour has been and the huge number of unforced errors that they have made.

The budget of Rachel Reeves has been something of a disaster, particularly from the angle of allegedly creating growth. It may well be a problem that somebody who is not really an economist after all thinks that the State creates growth rather than business. She does not understand that the more tax on business the less likelihood of there being growth. That seems to be something that is beyond the comprehension of Rachel from Accounts.

The Conservatives

The Conservatives are down to 121 MPs and are coming up to a bruising round of local elections. However the biggest long term threat to them is that their big donors are reconsidering support and many of them have already dropped out of donating. When the Canadian Reform Party replaced the Progressive Conservatives in Canada’s 1993 general election, it was the collapse in big donor support which permanently finished that Party. We can only hope that the same happens here.

The Liberal Democrats

Lib Dems – I am not really sure that I have got anything to say about the Limp-Dems. They are as woke and useless as ever and as much of a threat to English way of life as their Labour and Conservative colleagues.

Reform UK Ltd

Reform UK Ltd continues its rise in the opinion polls. We are shortly going to see whether that translates into election victories in local elections and in the Welsh Assembly.

If they win control of the Welsh Assembly that will be a big sign of potential future success.

In the meanwhile many of those who have been active in Reform but not part of the leadership have got fed up with Nigel Farage’s control and management style.

There was talk of democratising the running of the Party and professionalising it and a constitution has been put out. However the constitution cannot override the effect of company law.

It may be that there is some change afoot. Ben Habib, the former Deputy Leader of Reform UK Ltd has recently said:-

“Nigel_Farage has sold the company he owned to a new company which could be handed over to @reformparty_uk membership but that has yet to happen. Nigel and ZiaYusuf control the new company. The constitution has yet to be adopted by the new company or approved by the Electoral Commission. The new company must also be registered at the Electoral Commission as the political party. That has yet to happen. All the above steps must take place before any claim of democratising the ownership of the party can be made. Even after that, the new constitution would put Nigel in an unassailable position. As for branches: There is NO democracy in the branch structures. Their rules require them to take instructions from HQ and forbid them from having bank accounts. No autonomy. If Reform wants to change the way the country is governed, its leadership must stick to the truth. @GBNEWS Quote Reform UK @reformparty_uk · 21h We have democratised our party and implemented our new constitution. Promises made, promises kept.”

Other Parties

Turning now to other parties. UKIP - We had a joint Annual Conference meeting in Nottingham for our AGM with UKIP, which attracted the unwashed Antifa types, who seemed to want to turn our nice hotel into a refugees welcome centre. I have yet to hear whether that has caused us a problem with us going back there, although I am trying to see if I can get that sorted out.

I haven’t yet heard from UKIP as to how many candidates they are putting up in the local elections, but I do not think it will be very many.

UKIP and ourselves agreed a non-aggression and cooperation agreement with other parties, such as the Alliance and Democracy and Freedom, the Populist Party, all of whom will put up only a few candidates.

We are going to hear from the Leader of the ADF later.

The reality is that for all the small insurgent parties we need to see what happens in the Reform surge that is going on and whether they are able to break the duopoly of the two Post War Establishment parties. I think it is fair to say that we should wish Reform well in doing so because it will then create the space that will allow others, like ourselves, to get some electoral success.

The issue of English ethnicity has been gaining salience. Take these remarks by Suella Braverman:-

“I will never be truly English: here is why

For decades, political leaders have been afraid to celebrate Englishness for fear of being labelled nationalistic or xenophobic

But that timidity has diluted the national identity to the point where anything seems to qualify. In Fraser’s world, all it takes to join the tribe is a plane ticket and a birth certificate. This reduction of identity to mere geography explains why we see clashes on our streets between Hindus and Muslims over conflicts thousands of miles away.

This liberal tendency explains why there are neighbourhoods in England where English is irregularly spoken, Western dress is abandoned, women and girls are subjugated and loyalty to Britain is not just absent but often opposed. Some in these communities may hold British passports and be born here. But does that make them English?

I was born here, raised speaking the Queen’s English, and educated in England. Yet I am not English. My parents, members of the Indian diaspora, were born in Kenya and Mauritius. They acquired British citizenship, but they were not – and could never be – considered English. For Englishness to mean something substantial, it must be rooted in ancestry, heritage, and, yes, ethnicity – not just residence or fluency.

And that’s no slight against those of us with different roots. I don’t feel English because I have no generational ties to English soil, no ancestral stories tied to the towns or villages of this land.

My heritage, with its rich cultural and racial identity, is something distinct. I am British Asian, and I feel a deep love, gratitude and loyalty to this country. But I cannot claim to be English, nor should I. This is not exclusionary – it is honest. And it’s what living in a multi-ethnic society entails.

I lived in France for a couple of years. I spoke the language fluently and adopted aspects of French life. Yet I never thought for a moment that I could ever claim to be French. Identity doesn’t work that way. The same must hold true for Englishness. This approach is common in other countries; in Japan, for example, citizenship is generally based on descent.

I’m sure these views will send progressive elites into a tailspin. It won’t be long before someone accuses me of being a fascist. But we – especially those of us on the Right – must stop being so squeamish about national identity. To preserve British values and English culture, we need clarity, not denial. To call this divisive or racist is to dodge a necessary conversation about who we are and where we’re heading.

For too long, we have treated nationality and citizenship casually and as interchangeable concepts, unwilling to confront the deeper cultural issues. I said years ago that multiculturalism had failed. We are now living in the wreckage of that failure. Our identity crisis is the result of decades of neglect, complacency, and cowardice. We have allowed what once made England distinctive to be diluted, denigrated, and demonised. Now, more than ever, we must define what it is we are fighting for – before it slips away entirely.

What do you think of that Ladies and Gentlemen?

Last, but by no means least, I would like to mention England’s National Day.

On the 23rd April we have St George’s Day so I thought I would say something about ST GEORGE!

Most ancient Christian nations have a national patron saint, we in England have St George. Why is this?

As most England haters will sneeringly tell you St George isn’t even English. A reply could be that St Patrick wasn’t Irish and St Andrew wasn’t Scottish. Go sneer at them if you dare!

St George was a high ranking Roman officer from the Roman province of Syria and who may have served with the Syrian Legion in Britain but he became a Christian and was put to death by the emperor Diocletian in 303AD when he would not deny his Christian faith. He is buried at Lydda about 25 miles from Jerusalem. His tomb is said to be revered both by Christians and Muslims.

Some claim he was from Turkey other say he was from Palestine. Although it must be pointed out that neither place existed at that time, it was all within the Roman Empire.

St George was made England’s patron saint by King Edward III in 1325.

English soldiers first wore the St George’s Cross at the Battle of Halidon Hill in 1333.

Ladies and Gentlemen England has three Patron Saints: St Edmund King of the East Anglians, who was canonised after he was martyred by the Vikings. Edmund is the Patron Saint of the English as a people.

St Edward the Confessor is the patron saint of the English Monarchy and his shrine is at the heart of Westminster Abbey.

St Georges battle with the dragon is told in several versions which are of course all fictional. To mock the stories because they are not true is to miss the point. The stories aren’t really about a fight with a dragon, that is just the word picture for a story teaching the virtues of courage, duty, and self sacrifice. All qualities that are inspiring and valued in a nation.

The dragon is allegorical of course and has usually been depicted as the devil or the persecutor of innocents. As a protector of the innocent St George was much invoked by the Knights Templar as they took on the role of protecting pilgrims in the holy land and used by them to inspire acts of valour.

Above all St George is a saint that inspires courage and fidelity and that is why the English took him to their hearts and have stayed faithful to him throughout the centuries, despite all the sneering intellectuals and left wing politicians who laugh at us and think we are crass if we fly his flag. To them we are nothing more than bone headed racists whose stupidity can be exploited for taxes and votes. Such arrogant people will never understand our allegiance to the flag of our nation and the virtues and symbolism behind it.

So Ladies and Gentlemen I say that it’s time we started to be English again and think and act as Englishmen and Englishwomen. It’s time to demand English Independence. I say that it is time for the English Democrats! What do you say Ladies and Gentlemen?

I hope you find it interesting and if you did not manage to come to the conference this time we will be having our Autumn Annual Conference in late September. Details will be announced soon. Do keep an eye out for those – I hope to see you then.

Yours
