The events of the last two days have made me shudder. It has happened. People are going about their everyday business and no-one seems to realize that 30th June 2023 is the day the world changed. The oligarchs have shown their power and no-one has noticed. It is all down hill from here.
Lurking in the background of all countries there is an oligarchy. A group of rich and powerful people who are networked with each other. In the summer they meet up in secluded villas with hundred acre gardens in Greece or Italy and in the winter they have dinner parties in their £10m town houses in London or on their country estates. Daughters of oligarchs marry sons of oligarchs. They own large corporations, islands and land.
The British oligarchy is no longer British. Hundreds of billionaires have been invited to settle here over the past 30 years. A typical example is Eugeny Lebedev , the son of a Russian oligarch, who is probably a billionaire in his own right and owns the Evening Standard and “i” newspapers. The top 10 richest people in the UK were reportedly:
1) Gopi Hinduja and family – industry and finance – £35bn
2) Sir Jim Ratcliffe – Ineos, chemicals – £29.6bn
3) Sir Leonard Blavatnik – Warner Music, Dazn streamer – £28.6bn
4) David and Simon Reuben and family – property and internet – £24.3bn
5) Sir James Dyson and family – Dyson Group – £23bn
6) Lakshmi Mittal and family – ArcelorMittal – £16bn
7) Guy, George, Alannah and Galen Weston and family – Primark – £14.5bn
8) Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken and Michel de Carvalho – brewing – £13bn
9) Kirsten and Jörn Rausing – inheritance and investment – £12bn
10) Michael Platt – BlueCrest Capital hedge fund – £11.5bn
The next 90 are just as mixed. The British oligarchy is not British. It is international.
The oligarchs have been happy with letting the Conservatives and Labour run Britain for the past 50 years. The two parties never threatened them. They even awarded bent little Tony Blair a £2m a year job as International President of JP Morgan Chase, the huge US International Bank. They are very happy with the appointment of Keir Starmer, who was a Trilateral Commission member, as Labour leader. They rewarded George Osborne with the editorship of the Evening Standard.
What they just could not abide, what they hated more than anything was leaving the EU. It was not just that they needed open borders with free transfers of labour and capital for their businesses, they wanted to develop and dispose of their villas and interests in the EU without any interventions. They wanted London for the money, the Balkans for anything else and a life hob-nobbing with the wealthiest eurotrash.
Recently they have been content with the way events were unfolding in the UK. The EU policy of mixing up the people’s of Europe so that they no longer had nationalist sentiments was still proceeding apace in the UK. As “UN Migration Chief” Peter Sutherland put it: "The EU should "do its best to undermine" the "homogeneity" of its member states.". Migration is at record highs despite Brexit.
Migration is sufficient to have a crucial impact on internationalist issues. Over the past 8 years (6m immigrants) it has become sufficient to swing a second EU Referendum. Only 75% of the population of England and Wales now identify as “White British” and the 25% who are migrants overwhelmingly vote for options that allow migration.
Notice that the “white” classification in the above graph includes the 6.2% of the population who migrated from the EU, USA etc and also includes the Scots and Irish population of the UK.
The population has been changed sufficiently in the past 30 years to obviate any advantage for the “White English”, it is not their country any more. Migration is now the key to power for internationalists. Just contemplate the numbers and the fact that migrants are focussed in inner city constituencies. Two million votes for Remain would have swung the EU Referendum, this would be supplied by a minimum of 2.7m extra migrants, the extra 6m immigrants over the past 8 years will easily provide a Remain victory. The opinion polls are reflecting this change in the composition of the UK population and show that Remain might now win a second EU Referendum. The oligarchs have realised that if the people do not support them they can change the people.
The oligarchs were happy that their stooges in the media and mid-upper classes would correct the “Brexit Blip” for them by using migration to change the population to be more internationalist. Migration has become central to the plans of the oligarchs, they could fund the political parties to ensure that the people just keep coming, changing the country to favour Internationalism.
It is not a conspiracy theory to suggest that the wealthiest and most powerful people in society have power. They have power. The only issue is “how far will they go in using it?”. We now have the answer to this question. How far will the oligarchs go?
The oligarchs are panicked. The movement against migration is once again growing. GB News was recently found to be the “Most Loved” News Channel of the year by Savanta polling. On 27th June Nigel Farage was named “News Presenter of the Year” at the TRIC awards and GB News won the best breakfast programming slot.
Farage announced in May that he is considering re-entering politics as it is becoming evident that the Conservative Party is unravelling Brexit. The Conservatives say that they will control borders, remove EU legislation and defend the UK economy whilst doing the opposite. The Conservative leadership are upsetting their members by backtracking on Brexit. Conservative voters defect to the Reform Party if they feel that the Conservative Party is ceasing to do what they want which means that Farage is a real threat. We saw this defection to UKIP before the EU Referendum and to Reform before the 2019 election.
The idea that a newly popular Nigel Farage would return to leadership of the Reform Party has thrown the oligarchs into shock. They are now exercising their power.
They terminated Nigel Farage’s Bank account. When Farage tried to get another account from 8 banks none would take him. Nigel Farage cannot even buy dog food from Amazon or receive a salary payment. (See Note below for how Coutt’s bank tried to cover up its actions by accusing Farage of being too poor for an account).
I can hear mid-upper class people cheering at the idea that an opponent who they have been taught to hate has possibly been neutralised. Most of them will imagine Farage is lying. The mainstream media is openly implying that he is lying. However, they should reflect on this for a moment. Democracy cannot survive coordinated attacks by the oligarchs on politicians.
It is not just Farage who has been attacked. The Free Speech Union had its banking facilities withdrawn and has documented how this is affecting freedom and is becoming a growing menace to democracy (See How Free Speech Friendly are the Major Payment Processors and Crowdfunding Platforms?). Broadcasters such as Ben Wootton have had accounts terminated. The banks have targeted Brexit Party MEPs such as Christina Jordan in the past (yes, elected representatives) and this gained no mainstream news coverage.
Anyone who opposes the Internationalists is being silenced.
The panic of the oligarchs is so severe that Brexit supporting politicians are being neutralised everywhere. Even the House of Commons is attempting to eject Brexit supporters because they spoke out about the conduct of the Privileges Committee.
If you can really see nothing wrong with the behaviour of the oligarchs democracy is lost.
You may have been convinced that Brexit was wrong. However, the people who supported leaving the EU were sceptical that an international organisation could legislate for numerous countries without resorting to coercion and abandoning democracy. They believed that the EU is a powerful, unaccountable bureaucracy run by lobby groups that are financed by oligarchs…
It has happened. Democracy has been shut down without any complaint from the mainstream media. Look forward to a millennium of oppression for humanity. The end of Civilisation.

Postscript: Looking back over the past 30 years the Internationalists have played a total blinder. The population of the UK has been taking up poses about racism when all the time the objective was to change the electorate so that it was more tractable for Internationalism (no borders, free movement of industry, goods, services, labour). Labour and Conservatives both did this. Both parties depend on the oligarchs for finance and influence. Both parties are inherently Internationalist:
The Tories actually led the Remain campaign. Cameron even ordered the Civil Service to make no preparations for Brexit.
Some data: There were 46.5m voters in the UK in 2021. Immigration is largely of people of voting age. Immigration was 1.2m in 2022.
Note: Coutt’s bank responded to the outcry about cancelling Farage’s account by saying that he had failed to meet their requirement for being a wealthy client with £1m - £3m of personal wealth. However, they dumped Farage BEFORE this requirement was imposed. The Coutt’s website was archived on 30th June. The site says they will help with large investments (£1m+):
£1m of investing or borrowing was not a requirement for a current account. Coutts merely say that they specialise in investments and loans over this amount. They changed this between 30th June and fourth of July to £1 - £3m being a requirement for a current account:
They did this to avoid being accused of suppressing free speech and democracy.
As damage limitation NatWest (which owns Coutts) belatedly offered Farage a current account.
Those are highly relevant ideas.
