THEY NEVER LEARN

Matt Goodwin's clash with Geoff Hoon last Friday showed up the impotency and outright absurdity of the left's renewed attempts to label Reform UK 'far right extremists'.  When the New Labour bigwig smeared Reform in this way, he also tarred hundreds of thousands of voters who had just handed the party a set of stunning election victories.  Worse still, there are millions more British voters prepared to back Reform when bigger elections come around, eminently more than are prepared to put their cross next to the party of Hoon's.

As his conservative opponent alluded to in the GB News clash, these sweeping labels never have the desired effect - quite the opposite in fact.  Prior to the EU referendum in 2016, the British people witnessed countless sneering remarks towards our collective intellect and perceived 'xenophobia'.  When the establishment lost that referendum, the insults ratcheted up even further.  Eventually this led to the 2019 election landslide for Boris Johnson, due in no small part to the fact that the sneering attitude of the bourgeois left had driven millions of Labour voters into the arms of the dreaded Conservatives.

In the age of Brexit, Trump and so-called 'populism', there are endless labels that have been attached to the masses by establishment politicians, media and 'virtuous' celebrities.  However, these can generally be summed up by three categories headed by the words: 'thick', 'far right' and 'racist'.  With Reform now posing a serious threat to the two party state, we can expect to see more of the same.

Watch Matt Goodwin tear Geoff Hoon a new one below...

If the Uniparty system is to collapse at the next general election, it will aid and abet its own downfall by resorting to the sort of extreme name-calling that the Democrats hit the Trump campaign with - just before he demolished Harris and her party with a stunning trifecta victory.  It turned out that Americans, just us we British, do not appreciate being told that our legitimate concerns somehow align with those of a 1930s German political movement.
