Blogger’s Note: Part of my academic work is the monitoring of the far-right’s online presence. What you see here is typical of the rhetoric of the far-right – a far-right that has hijacked the dismantling of the British Welfare State (the far-right believes no one should receive any help from the State) by successive UK national governments – switching the focus from the real issue of mainstream political betrayal of the working-class by the governments it elects, to that of the presence of migrants (Reform UK will continue this betrayal). If unions still had power, there would be well-paid jobs for life. If the Local Council still possessed a legal requirement to maintain Council Houses and home every vulnerable person in need – there would be no homelessness. If the Benefits Systems still reflected the true wealth of this country, and fairly redistributed funds, there would be no poverty. If the government subsidised and controlled food pricing, there would be no starvation. If the government controlled the schools, British children would still receive a world class education and be fed properly during school-time. Furthermore, our graduates would not leave University with £30-40,000 worth of debt just as their adult lives are beginning. If the NHS was properly funded, staffed, and stocked, everyone could receive immediate world class treatment – free at the point of use.
Instead, each UK government has slowly but surely dismantled the British Socialist System – replacing it with the devastating hyper-individuality that is the norm in the US – a hellish place where the worker has no rights. It is the loss of British Socialism – and not the presence of migrants – that is the problem. Migrants did not do this. As there are no jobs for life – the UK government has to bring-in endless waves of cheap labour to keep this drive going – whilst ensuring the unions remain opine and toothless. The migrants did not cause this – the Americans caused this through their post-1945 drive to dominate Europe and destroy its indigenous Socialist Movements (due to Washingon’s fear that Western Europe might join with the USSR and extend the Revolution Westward – effectively shutting-out the US). Yes – whilst the British people are being impoverished down to the level of the average American – the Human Rights Act erroneously assumes that each European State still possesses a fully functioning Socialist System that must be shared with destitute incomers – and the migrants know this is the case because their traffickers tell them so (this is how the traffickers exploit the migrants). The reality is that the US has destroyed all the Socialist Systems of Europe (through the auspices of the EU) so that indigenous people receive so little that they might as well receive nothing.
Meanwhile, the US has weaponised migration – forcing Europe to take-in endless waves of unpalatable people from nasty and anti-democratic and anti-working-class regimes – demanding they be placed in-front of all British people in need – and be given free houses, free cars, free education, free medical care, and free money, etc. Again, these people may be unwelcomed (and even incompatible with UK cultural norms) – but it is not their fault that the US and UK bourgeois governments are creating the conditions for their presence in the West (usually by the blanket-bombing of their countries). All this must be understood, despite it being the product of bourgeois-inspired sleight of hand and the skilful use of smoke and mirrors. The problem is ongoing predatory capitalism dominated by the US. British Socialism is being destroyed by the US – but the nefarious occupants of smoke-filled rooms in Washington want us to blame the “migrants” – as this diverts the main reason for what is happening away from the reality of the situation. Even if every single migrant was expelled – the UK would still be oppressed by predatory capitalism – and not possess a Socialist System to make life worth living. Who will we blame then? The Disabled? The non-Whites? The mixed race? Women? Single mothers? The Jews? Where will scapegoating end? The far-right wants to kill us all – and it wants us to agree with their action whilst they are doing it. The far-right wants to spew hatred, suffer no recriminations, and have all its hate-mongering criminals raised to the status of “martyr” – using the Christian rhetoric they so admire. ACW (17.9.2025)

A neo-Nazi music producer and his two children who incited racial hatred at Leeds nightclub gig have been jailed.
Robert Talland, 59, of Waltham Abbey, was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment with 12 months on extended licence. His son Stephen Talland, 36, of Harlow, was given a two year prison sentence and his daughter, Rosie Talland, 33, was sentenced to 18 months in custody.
Talland organised a gig at the Corpus Christi Club in Leeds on September 21, 2019, at which both children performed songs that incited racial hatred in front of an audience that responded by making Nazi salutes, a court heard.
He managed his children’s band, Embers Of An Empire, and was a leading figure of the “Blood & Honour” neo-Nazi network which promoted their ideology through “performances by far-right bands at gatherings of supporters of the neo-Nazi cause”, a judge said.
“At the time of your offending I am satisfied that each of you had a long-standing allegiance to the neo-Nazi cause,” said Judge Andrew Lees, sentencing the defendants at Woolwich Crown Court on Thursday.
“That is most clearly evidenced by the racist and antisemitic messages, videos, memes and other materials you posted via social media. In addition each of you were heavily involved in the neo-Nazi Blood & Honour music network.
“The concerts were characterised by the display of extreme right-wing symbiology including Nazi flags and banners, and provided a forum for the encouragement through music of racial hatred and neo-Nazi ideology.”
Robert Talland also ran a record label, Rampage Productions, which distributed CDs by neo-Nazi groups. The albums encouraged racial violence with songs calling for people to “paint the walls with n***** blood”, “join the fight against race mixers”, “hunt the reds” and “let the blood flow”, the court heard.
Other song lyrics cited in court on Thursday said: “Wake up white man, there is an enemy to slay, wake up white man, and take your place.”
Members of the audience at the 2019 gig were captured on CCTV making Nazi salutes to lyrics that said “Hope you’re ready to die”, “Won’t stop until the last one hits the floor”, and “We’ll send them back in a box”.

The gig was also a memorial for Ian Stuart Donaldson, frontman of the white power band Skrewdriver and founder of Blood & Honour, who died in September 1993.
Blood & Honour promotes racist, antisemitic, anti-Communist and anti-LGBT violence, and was hit with a UK asset-freezing order in January this year over suspected terror links.
“The venue is strewn with Nazi symbiology: there are many different far-right flags and banners, and a stall is set up to sell far-right music albums and other far-right material,” judge Lees told the defendants, adding this offence and the subsequent dissemination of neo-Nazi music albums was “serious offending with the potential for causing violence within the community”.
Talland and his children were all convicted of conspiracy to incite racial hatred following a nine-week trial at the same court earlier this year. Additionally, Rosie and Stephen were convicted of inciting racial hatred. Robert was also found guilty of one offence of possessing racially inflammatory material and two further counts of disseminating terrorist publications.
The defendants from Essex were arrested on October 1, 2020, after a year-long investigation by officers from Counter Terrorism Policing North East. A search of Talland’s home found hundreds of CDs distributed under his record label, as well as Blood & Honour merchandise and banners “covered in neo-Nazi imagery”, the force said.
“Robert, Stephen and Rosie Talland were part of a network of hatred which had encouraged violence and extreme right-wing terrorism across Europe for decades,” Detective Chief Superintendent James Dunkerley, head of Counter Terrorism Policing North East, said on Friday.
“Robert Talland dismissed the group as an ‘old man’s drinking club’, but through the gigs and events they organised, they promoted music which glorified acts of murder to audiences which included young children.
“In doing so, they encouraged attitudes of hatred, intolerance and violence which have no place in our society.”
