Blogger’s Note: What a time we live-in. The (White) far-right and right-wing are recruiting (franchising) “non-Whites” as a means to politically empower a small minority within an oppressed minority. Non-Whites are given the ability to participate in White privilege as if it is natural and a birth-right – when in fact it is merely a cynical (and “temporary”) means to an end. When such a policy has achieved its ends – the subjugation and removal of all other non-Whites – then this “privilege” will be swiftly “removed”. Those non-Whites who collaborated with the Whites will then be held “accountable for their betrayal” by the very Whites who facilitated their behaviour. This action will prove popular amongst the non-White victims of these non-White traitors. This is how a dominant class-race controls and manipulates the opposition. Reform UK, allegedly, has hired a Muslim to represent White anti-Islamic views against Muslims. As you can see, it is an effective strategy as even the most ruthless of capitalist entities are “running-scared” in the face of implied threats. Taking a page out of Trump II’s play-book – acting like an absolute monarch is the way ahead. Democracy is short-circuited by the deployment of “rage” and “revenge” as an expression of an empowered “will” in high office. Procedures, checks and balances mean “nothing” – when an individual is politically empowered to arbitrarily express their will so that power is immediately deployed (oppressively) downward and is felt from above. Apparently, Vodafone and Deliveroo are “running scared” due to the threat of their bosses being arrested, charged, and imprisoned for daring to offer cheap or free help (including jobs) to vulnerable members of society (which may – or may not – involve migrants [illegal or otherwise]). What this is really about is the management of bourgeois narratives. The chain of evidence is US, EU, and UK. The US demands that the UK’s economy becomes a mirror of the US – with no unions, no meaningful jobs, no jobs for life, no proper wages, and no Welfare State, no housing, or medical care for the workers. This requires the continuous importing of an impoverished (cheap) labour force and the encouragement of ethnic strife between the competing ethnic groups – so as to prevent the underlying unity (amongst ethnic groups) that permits the building of Socialism. As the bourgeoisie will not stand-up to the US and EU – the result is the dramatic rise of the far-right. ACW (3.9.2026)

Vodafone and Deliveroo will dispatch senior representatives to the Reform UK conference this week despite the party publicly threatening to send their bosses to prison.
Telecoms giant Vodafone, operating under its UK banner Vodafonethree, will host a fringe event at the Reform’s annual jamboree even after home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf warned chief executive Margherita Della Valle she would be put in prison if the company did not sever its ties with a refugee charity.
In a letter to boss Della Valle last month, the Reform heavyweight accused the FTSE 100 group of “helping to facilitate the invasion of Britain” by donating over 2,000 sim cards to Care4calais. He warned that a Reform UK government would hold Vodafone directors “criminally liable” for issuing the pay-as-you-go cards once elected and review all the company’s public sector contracts.
Yusuf launched the unusual broadside despite Vodafonethree already having agreed to become one of the most prominent partners at the party’s conference this week, two people familiar with the matter said.
Along with social cohesion think tank Moreincommon, the firm is putting on an event at Reform’s inaugural business day, where panellists will discuss unlocking investment in Britain’s digital infrastructure. London mayoral candidate Laila Cunningham and head of local government Ben Bradley will speak at the panel alongside Vodafone’s head of government affairs and the chief executive of Mobile UK.
Companies find themselves in Reform sights
Vodafone is one of several blue-chip firms aiming to patch up relations with Reform after receiving a public rebuke from Yusuf as part of his immigration crackdown. In June, the party threatened to strip outsourcing giant Serco of all its government contracts after the company said it would not take part in an Ice-style deportation campaign.
And two months later it also announced plans for what it called a ‘Deliveroo Law’, aimed at companies who turn a blind eye to illegal migrants working within their businesses.
Under the push, which formed part of a wider crackdown on illegal working, executives and directors at companies found to employ asylum seekers and illegal migrants would face up to five years in prison.
“In our major cities, it’s common knowledge that illegal migrants housed and fed in hotels and HMOs, at immense expense to the British taxpayer, are moonlighting for gig-economy platforms,” Yusuf said at the policy’s launch, adding that “corporations turn a blind eye while harvesting huge financial returns.”
To smooth over tensions, Deliveroo is sending several public policy execs to Reform’s new-look conference in Birmingham, where the party is seeking to attract more mainstream firms, a person close to the company said.
The party has signed up a record number of corporate partners and sold “unprecedented numbers” of business tickets, a spokesman said. Cadent Gas and engineer Amentum are hosting panel sessions similar to Vodafonethree’s, while Heathrow is returning with a ‘lounge’ for delegates at Reform and other conferences.
A Reform spokesman said: “Over the last year, we have been building connections and having conversations with business and industry about how we can deliver critical infrastructure, boost investment, bring down energy costs and grow the economy.”
Deliveroo and Vodafonethree declined to comment. Serco did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
