I honestly believe we're less than a decade away from effectively turning in to a third world country. And I will be damned if I'm going to see that. And I'm putting my shoulder to the wheel, and I urge those of you in the audience who have the same sense of urgency that I do.
So, Nigel Farage says less than a decade away from turning into a third [snorts] world country. That's a very dire warning, isn't it? A very dire warning indeed. And why is that? What? Why have we got to the point when this is actually being spoken about? Well, we've had years, literally years of, I suppose you could call it, neglect of our responsibilities as citizens of this country to do anything about it. We've become so disenchanted, enchanted with our political system, uh, that governs us, that we've allowed them to ride roughshod over the welfare and benefit of, you know, the citizenry of this country. And we've got to a crisis point now where a lot of people are starting to ask a lot of questions about what's been going on, what has been going on, and what we can do about it.
Now, we, I'll talk a little bit more about it in a little while, but we've got a situation where we've got a new incoming Prime Minister that wasn't even an MP when Labour won the general election. And when you literally break down and analyze the circumstances behind how he was elected, how he was moved into the position he's in, it raises and rings so many alarm bells in my head alone, you would not believe. And considering some of the things that I get told and messages I get sent over time, uh, we're, we are in a great deal of trouble. And I think it's warranted to listen to the rest of what Nigel has to say, so here goes.
I honestly believe we're less than a decade away from effectively turning in to a third-world country. And I will be damned if I'm going to see that. And I'm putting my shoulder to the wheel, and I urge those of you in the audience who have the same sense of urgency that I do about the problems that we face, to put your shoulders to the wheel as well. And there is one very valuable thing that history does teach us, which is that this country's been in big trouble before, but it's always got itself out of it. And we're in big trouble now. So, I believe we can get ourselves out of this. Do you believe that we can get our country out of this? Do you believe that we can turn this around? Do you believe we can turn this around? Can we do better?
[applause]
Can we do better? We must do better. We've got to do better.
You know, the very first time I ever saw Nigel Farage, it was outside a boozer, about [snorts] five minutes from my house, and he was standing there with a pint in one hand and a [unintelligible] in the other. And he was just about to go into his version of the hustings, uh, that he was carrying out right over my area. This is when he wanted to get, uh, the South Thanet parliamentary seat back in the day. And instead of, uh, doing the normal hustings, he literally walked round with his entourage, went to all the boozers. And I went to this particular evening 'cause I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. And he can, he can talk. He knows what the crowd want to hear. He knows how to rile up the crowd, and he knows the right lingo. But in there is a very, is a very vivid warning about turning into a third world country. Um, what you've got, and I've seen, uh, evidence of this over the last few days. You've got two, uh, schools of people which are very, very, very different, and they're separated by political ideology and also what they choose to accept and what they choose to find out. Political ideology is the left and the right. The left believe that, you know, we should be a diverse and tolerant society and welcoming of everybody. And those on the right, uh, believe that, well, too much of something could be a bad thing. And we're, we're in a situation where, uh, you know, where we are now, and unfortunately, uh, you know, we've got this problem where we've got a very left-leaning government, and with Andy Burnham coming into place, it's going to lurch even more to the left. I've even seen danger signs at this early stage of what's going to come down the track. People talk about devolution like it's a good thing. Devolution will break up and destroy England the same way it has already our capital city, London. Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, this is, this is all part of what's coming. And also these new and safer routes for people to come, uh, to this country to enjoy all the benefits of thousands more have enjoyed. These are all the things that are turning us into a third world, basically.
And what's put people off reform? I mean, they're doing well. They are doing well. They won the police and crime commissioner election in Norfolk quite convincingly. They are doing very well. But what puts people off reform, or people like me, is the establishment guard that have come in from other parties. Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick, Nadhim Zahawi. And you look at the very stuffy conservative types that have suddenly appeared. Zia Yusuf is another factor in my mind. They, all these things you think, "Are you anti-establishment or are you establishment?" I, I can't divide the two up in my mind. I, I really can't. But if you move all that aside, one of the things that we can really do to affect change is vote, and vote in our thousands, vote in our millions. It's pretty much the only peaceful option we have left on the table. And if you look at the recent election, and I think it was yesterday the result was declared in Norfolk, only 17% of the electorate turned up. So, they're celebrating a fantastic victory, claiming a percentage of a very small percentage of the turnout. That's what makes the whole thing farcical. There are millions of people out there that don't bother anymore, and they're allowing our country to be destroyed. And when I say our country, I do mean England specifically in this case. If you roll back to the 2011 census, there was over 30 million people declared themselves as English only nationality. And what that gave the government of the time the ability to do was see where we all were. And what happened next, if you go and have a look at those areas, some of the major cities in the north and other places, and look at the demographical change over that period of time, you see what the game is.
More people need to do something very important. And that is rediscover your ability to critically think. The older generation are guilty of this because they've been brought up with it, and that is they believe everything that comes out of the television. They believe everything that they read in the newspapers. And they don't have the ability to turn around and say, "Right, well, I'm not quite sure I believe that." And then they'll pat themselves on the back for their own, uh, clever thinking that they're not going to fall for the next scam or the next yarn that someone's come out with. Yet, they can't see politically what's going on in front of them. Politics is important. It's what's going to either save this country or consign it to the dustbin, really. Uh, the absolute undeniable dustbin. And if we allow the communists to do what they are currently doing, then I fear very much for our all of our futures. I really do. So, if you roll back to the beginning, Nigel Farage does have a point here. We need to stand up, and we need to be counted. Otherwise, we're going to lose it. We're going to lose all of it.
