Poole -Reform UK

We are making history in the Bournemouth, Poole and Broadstone areas. For the first time ever Reform UK are featuring in every ward. Well done to all our candidates for standing up for the values that this country was built on.

🗳️ The Statement of Persons nominated, as part of the forthcoming town council elections, have now been published.

See the link in the comments to view the list of candidates.

Well done to all our Reform UK candidates in Broadstone. The most recent electoral poll puts Reform UK at the top of the polls nationally. On the doorstep residents say they have had enough of the Liberal Democrats in Broadstone and want to see the end of their stronghold over the area. Bring on the challenge!

congratulations to all our new 'official' candidates. We are proud to have candidates in every ward for our 'silent majority' to speak up against the left wing and extremists who are set on destroying our country, our values, our heritage and so much more.

Reform UK controled Councils are delivering tangible, positive change to people lives. BCP Council needs Reform.

We are officially in the Pre-election Period.

We are currently in pre-election period until after the town council elections on 7 May 2026.

The pre-election period describes the weeks before elections or
referendums when specific restrictions on communications activity are in place.

During this time, we must follow rules which include removing comments or posts on our page which are political.

Reform has pledged to abolish the holiday tax on all domestic and short-haul tickets when an adult economy ticket is purchased alongside at least one under-18 ticket. This is a move against the Net Zero madness that is not only crippling businesses but families whose parents work hard to earn a decent break

Hope everyone enjoys the Easter break. It’s been all systems go as we have been out every day leaflets through every door across Poole and Bournemouth. Huge thank you to all our amazing helpers. We’ll be getting our candidate leaflets to print next week so it’s one last big push before the election. Please help in your local area when called! We are the only Party that can beat the Lib Dems

The concept of suicidal empathy is hugely enlightening but most left wing and socialist do-gooders would bury that concept ( if they understand it) and still believe we should have no borders. Matt and others as talented as he are so valuable in bringing sense to our world.

An extract from my new book Su***de of a Nation is below.

———————

There are moments in the life of a nation when everything changes − not with a bang, not even with a conscious decision, but with a quiet, creeping loss of confidence so profound that a people start to forget who they are.

Britain, I believe, is living through such a moment.

For decades, the institutions that once embodied our nation − Parliament, the civil ­service, the courts, the police, the BBC, ­universities, schools, corporate executives, the Church, museums − have drifted away from the public they exist to serve.

Our country is now in the grip of a new ruling class which sees itself not as ­custodians of a ­living nation but as supervisors of a global humanitarian ­project that has no borders, no limits and no loyalty to the people whose taxes fund their salaries.

Its defining ideology is ‘suicidal empathy’ – a deeply twisted worldview that is destroying our country in the name of showing empathy to others.

Suicidal empathy is when admirable instincts, such as compassion and empathy, are turned to favour outsiders over your own people.

It is a belief that moral worth is measured not by defending your country but by demonstrating infinite generosity to the rest of the world - even when this damages your nation and threatens its survival.

The result is a government without control… borders without meaning... public services ­without capacity… leaders without courage... and a country without confidence.

Within just one generation, because of the trends I set out in this book, Britain will no longer be Britain. England will no longer be England.

The country our ancestors built will be replaced by something else.

But Britain is not being conquered or invaded. Worse: it is being abandoned by the very people who were meant to protect it – a ruling class and their cheerleaders such as Sir Keir Starmer, London mayor Sadiq Khan, Tony Blair and, before them, hapless Tories such as Boris Johnson, who have betrayed their own voters.

As the historian and philosopher Arnold J. Toynbee once said: ‘Civilisations die from su***de, not by murder.’

Across Britain – in cities, towns, villages and suburbs − many people are now experiencing the same private, unspoken sense of shock.

You walk down a street you once knew but no longer recognise.

You visit the place where you were born yet feel like a stranger.

You hear languages that are not your own.

You see customs and cultures you do not share.

The country of your childhood now seems to exist only in old films, documentaries, ­fading books and nostalgia reels on social media.

The fact is that a nation is bound by a shared identity, history, culture and way of life.

It is a community filled with your relatives, ancestors and neighbours, who you know and trust, and whose graves, stories and memories lie around you.

Yet a survey last year by the pollsters More In Common found that nearly half of all Britons feel ‘like a stranger in my own country’.

Significantly, many people from minority backgrounds experience this profound sense of loss just as strongly.

Yet whenever anyone articulates this creeping sense of dispossession, they are shamed, silenced or mocked by the elites who are imposing these changes on them.

What we are witnessing is not just a small adjustment, a temporary shift, or the gentle evolution of a nation. It is something far more dramatic and potentially permanent.

It is the deliberate and sustained transformation of the country.

Indeed, nations do not remain the same if the people who shaped them, built them and embody them collapse into minority status.

According to my analysis, which I set out in the book, by the year 2100, the share of the population made up of White Britons without immigrant parents (roughly 95 per cent of the country in the 1990s) will collapse to just 33 per cent.

The proportion of people who are foreign-born or the immediate descendants of foreign-born parents will rise from 19 per cent to more than 60 per cent.

Muslims will go from representing about one in every 17 people in Britain to one in every four – and one in every three among the young.

This will all happen within the lifetime of a child born today – in the next 74 years.

When that person is in their 30s, the White British will no longer be a majority.

By then, the hushed debates that are already starting – about segregated Muslim areas, blasphemy laws, the rise of Islamic sectarianism in politics, Pakistani Muslim r**e gangs, the spread of antisemitism and the capacity of Islam to integrate into the Western nations − will all seem quaint by comparison.

Already, the White British are a minority in London, ­Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, Luton, Slough and Watford.

Soon, if it is not already, they will slide into minority status in Blackburn, Bradford, Cambridge, Coventry, Crawley, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Oxford, Peterborough, Reading, Sandwell and Wolverhampton.

Then, in Hertsmere, Bedford, Bexley, Oldham, Preston, Pendle, Thurrock, Derby, Havering and Bromley, among many more.

Nothing reveals the scale and speed of Britain’s transformation more honestly than what is happening in our schools.

Once, names such as Thomas, Jack, Oliver and Noah dominated.

By 2023, Muhammad – in the top ten since 2016 – had replaced Noah as the most popular boy’s name in the country.

Another new entry in 2024 was Yahya, the name of the Hamas leader who oversaw the worst mass murder of Jews since World War II.

The speed of change is staggering.

Between 2001 and 2021, the share of foreign-born residents in Britain soared to 17 per cent.

Today, thanks to the ‘Boriswave’, the disastrous policy of mass immigration on steroids that was unleashed by Boris Johnson, it is closer to 20 per cent.

In other words, nearly one in five people now living in Britain − roughly 13 million − were not born in our country.

Astonishingly, the share of foreign-born in Britain is now higher than it was in America during the great wave of migration through Ellis Island - a migration surge that prompted American politicians to slam the brakes and dramatically lower it.

But nobody in Britain’s establishment appears willing to do this.

Official figures, meanwhile, show that nearly 350,000 foreign-born families will benefit from extra welfare handouts, with nearly 200,000 coming from only ten countries, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Somalia, India, Ghana, Afghanistan and Iraq.

More than five million people in this country now prefer to speak a language other than English.

In 2025, the NHS reported that one in ten patients do not have ‘functional English language skills’, with most speaking Urdu or Bengali. Translation leaflets had to be sent out in 50 languages with the 2021 census.

You do not need to be a demographer to see where this leads.

Do you want the political, social and religious cultures of Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Albania and Iraq to be imported into Britain at scale?

These are societies that are marked by deep ethnic and religious divisions, low trust in institutions and completely different ideas about justice, family, sexuality and women’s rights.

Just look at the evidence that nobody in Westminster wants you to see.

Albanians, who make up roughly one in ten foreign prisoners, have the highest arrest rate of any nationality in Britain − 210 for every 1,000 of their people.

They are followed by Afghans (a rate of 107), Iraqis (93), Algerians (73), Moroccans (70) and Somalis (65).

The rate among British people is 12 for every 1,000. North Africans are convicted of sexual assault at around seven times the rate of British people.

Anyone who questions these changes is dismissed as paranoid, exaggerating or scaremongering.

But, as I explain in the book, there are very good reasons why all people living here should feel deeply concerned.

The ethnic and cultural core of a nation is what holds it in place, like an anchor. It is what provides a sense of shared identity, culture, history, values and way of life.

Once this anchor gives way, there is nothing to hold the nation in place.

There is a reason why more diverse nations are also less ­trusting, more divided and fragmented: because they do not have this ­unifying core.

You can already see the warning signs.

The eruption of antisemitic protests. The rise of ‘homegrown’ Islamist terrorists. State institutions such as West Midlands Police appearing to prioritise Islamist thugs when telling travelling football fans from Israel they are not welcome in Birmingham.

Nobody ever voted for Britain to be transformed in this way. Nobody was ever asked if they wanted it.

What is now unfolding in Britain is what President Donald Trump has warned that all of Europe now faces: ‘civilisational erasure’ – the looming disappearance of a unique identity, culture and people.

We stand at a historic crossroads that our ancestors never imagined.

Before this decade ends, we will either reclaim our future or we will lose it.

For the past 30 years, it has not mattered who occupied No 10 Downing Street.

Whether Labour or Tory, a succession of governments have imposed a single, suffocating project on the rest of the country with the State growing ever larger: Big Welfare, Big Debt, Big Tax, Big Spending, Big Immigration, Big Net Zero, Big Censorship − big on everything except the ­virtues that once made Britain bloom: individual freedom, hard work, entrepreneurship, free speech, aspiration, controlled ­borders, stability and manageable change.

The alternatives that are required are not extreme. They are the minimum for national continuity.

We must end Britain’s dependence on low-wage, low-skill migration from outside Europe – a model that depresses wages, undercuts British workers, puts a strain on housing and reshapes the country around people who do not share our culture.

We must leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and repeal Tony Blair’s Human Rights Act, which enshrines the ECHR into domestic UK law.

We must overturn the ‘two-tier ­multiculturalism’ we explore in the book and replace it with a far more assertive state policy of assimilation.

Britain ­cannot continue to tell newcomers they should retain their ­distinctive identities and cultures while telling the historic majority to jettison theirs.

What about bringing millions of British-born, economically-inactive people back into work?

Or creating serious incentives for British families to have more ­children?

We should also stop spending billions of pounds on welfare support for people who are not British and, instead, plough this money into frontline public services for the British people whose families actually built this country.

Other countries grasp the importance of these things.

Above all, the underlying ideology of the ruling class and institutions that imposed this demographic revolution has to be overhauled. Otherwise, we will fail in our promise to our ancestors to pass on the country that we know and love.

The hour is late but not too late. Britain is not yet dead but it is in mortal danger.

If it is to be saved from national su***de, it must be now.

Just one generation from now:

The white British in the UK will go from over 70% to 33%.

The foreign-born & their children from 19% to over 60%.

The share of Muslims from 1 in 17 to 1 in 4.

We are losing our Country.

As Reform UK BCP we are locally against any further ‘sustainable’ travel measures at the expense of motorists which, by the way, include so many essential workers and people keeping businesses and hence the economy going? How can the Lib Dem’s claim to support businesses when they are intent on grinding them to a halt!

The £17m cycle that looks ugly and is hardly ever used A huge new £17m bike lane has been branded a 'monumental waste of public money' - as it has substantially increased congestion while being used by only a handful of cyclists.
