Many of the marchers wore Make England Great Again (MEGA) hats and chanted that they wanted their country back and Prime Minister Starmer, out.

Across town the Nabka Day Rally, with an estimated 30,000, was held in support of Palestine. (Nabka Day marks the 1947 displacement of Palestinians during the creation of Israel.)

PALESTINE FLAG

The flag of Palestine was flown and the Keffiyeh was prominent among the crowd. It was also attended by Jeremy Corbin, former leader of the UK Labour Party.

If Australia is to regain the position of being the country with one of the highest standards of living in the world, then it is self-evident that there must be changes in the management of the country’s affairs.

If Britain is to regain the right to once again call itself Great Britain, then changes must also happen in that country.

Both Britain and Australia are currently run by Left wing socialist governments that enjoy a large majority in the lower house of their respective parliaments – and both have years yet to run before the next general election.

Both Labor in Australia and Labour in Britain are now lagging in the opinion polls. If a general election were to be held in Britain today the Reform UK Party, led by charismatic Nigel Farage would secure a major win, but perhaps not enough for an overall majority.

A Roy Morgan Snap SMS poll – conducted after the Australian Labor Government brought down its budget last month – revealed that One Nation topped Labor on its primary vote by 32 per cent to 28 per cent.

The Coalition came in at 16.5 per cent, the Greens at 11.5 per cent and others at 11.5 per cent.

Tension is slowly building between large blocs of voters and the Labor Party in Australia and Labour in Britain.

In Britain they are marching and voting Labour out in local elections. In Australia the Speaker in the House of Representatives has banned the Opposition from calling the government liars.

There have been no “Make Australia Great Again” (MAGA) rallies in Australia, yet, but how far away are they?

How patient can the Australian public be as they watch their standard of living decline; as migrants continue to flood into the country, as the number of homeless increases and as thousands give up the battle for housing?

Once upon a time, the Labour and Labor Parties were the political Parties of the working man. The battle lines were distinct and always between the worker and the boss. Between Labor and Conservative.

That has now changed. In both countries there is support for socialism in the leafy suburbs and in academia. Inner city electorates where incomes and houses are among the highest in the land now distinctly lean to the Left.

Many of these people are what is now known – and like to be known – as trans nationals. They are well or highly educated and enjoy being known as “international people”.

They believe in equality across national borders, in many cases national borders are an anathema to them. Once in power they become a law unto their beliefs and keep their actions away from public view.

The current governments in both the UK and Australia are now led by “professional” socialists. These people have been drawn from academia, union ranks and Party political offices.

Mostly university educated they have spent their life in “politics” and the pursuit of socialist ideals. The common criticism is that they have “never had a real job”.

The inner cabinet of the Albanese Government is a prime example. None have any experience outside of politics and unionism.

Few, including the Treasurer, understand basic economics and are prepared to elect and blindly follow a leader who tells lies.

LANDSLIDE

In 2024 Labour in Britain had a landslide victory, winning 63 per cent of House of Commons seats (411) with just 34 per cent of the vote. Making it the lowest share of the vote of a governing Party since 1830.

In Australia in 2025, Labor secured only 34.6 per cent of the first preference vote, yet won 62 per cent of the seats and 94 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives. In other words only 5m of the 15m votes cast voted Labor 1.

This is a startling reminder that more than 60 per cent of the people in both Australia and Britain did not vote for the government which is currently in power. This is not government by the majority of the people; it is government by the minority.

It would be a brave person who would claim that the ruling Party in both countries, Labour in the UK and Labor in Australia, have made a good job of the “faith” expressed by the voters. Both economies are mired in debt which it gets worse by the day.

More than a decade ago Angela Merkel (Mutti), as Chancellor of Germany, welcomed into that country many thousands of migrants. People who had customs and practices which were diametrically opposed to those of the German people.

In 2010 Merkel shocked the world and finally agreed with many Christian Democrats and the community, that Germany’s attempt to create a multicultural society had failed.

She said allowing people with different cultural backgrounds to live side by side, had failed.

A year later, in 2011, the Prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron, speaking in Munich condemned Britain’s long-standing policy on multiculturalism as a failure, calling for better integration of young Muslims to combat home-grown extremism.

A decade and a half ago, two of Europe’s leaders, with extensive on-the-spot experience, declared the migration of Muslims into their respective communities had failed.

In Australia governments of both persuasions, but particularly the Labor Party in recent years, have ignored those warnings.

Australia is now forced to watch as Britain reaps the unwanted and at times violent harvest of their efforts towards creating a multicultural society, primarily based on the assimilation of those of the Muslim faith

Across Britain and much of Europe there is now distinct religious tension between the locals and the followers of Islam; it is apparent and cannot be denied.

All Australian political Parties must surely wonder if it is only a matter of time before Australia experiences what has happened and is happening to multiculturalism in Britain and across Europe.

Migration into Britain started way back in the days when any resident of the British Empire was entitled to a British passport.

So, in 1947 when partition took place in what was India; thousands of Pakistanis of the Muslim faith moved to Britain because of the Indian majority who were predominantly of the Hindu faith.

Of recent times it is the illegal migration which has caused trouble in British society and is an enormous headache for the government of PM Sir Keir Starmer, one-time Director of Public Prosecutions.

His government’s inability to both stop the illegal entry of at times thousands a week and to control the behaviour of both the recent arrivals and of those who have now been in the country for decades is now a major “racial” problem for his Labour Government.

Migrants who moved to Britain in the 1960s now have children, grandchildren and great grandchildren born in Britain and as British as those born under the Bow Bells of London.

A major challenge in Britain is that ethnic groups, understandably some say, have developed areas within the cities of Britain which are almost a carbon copy of the country they left behind, but with all the social benefits of a modern Britain.

There are now nearly four million Muslims in the UK. Which is 6.5 per cent of the population; the median age is 27 years and 51 per cent were born in the UK. There are now 2838 mosques in the UK and an estimated 30 sharia courts.

The existence of these courts and the proof of a two-tier justice system in Britain has rocked the very foundations of a country that provided the foundations for law and order in the English-speaking world and beyond.

Tensions have been increasing in Britain as some claim both the existing migrant (Muslim) population and the illegal predominantly Muslim influx of illegal migrants are starting to behave and do as they want. The Sharia courts are a glaring example.

ACCUSED

As public concern increases the authorities are being accused of either turning a blind eye or even collaborating with the recalcitrant migrant communities.

The dark reality of the Pakistani grooming gangs is now a massive stain on the British police and the British justice system.

It has been revealed that in Rotherham, in the north of England, between 1997 and 2013 some 1400 children were victims of sexual exploitation.

These were gangs deliberately organised to rape white girls.

“Grooming” was an aphorism, a British way of attempting the sanitisation of reality that Muslim gangs of men of Pakistani origin, over many years, systematically abducted, raped and handed white girls from one to the other.

In Rotherham there was, additionally, a reluctance to pursue cases of non-white offenders due to concerns by the authorities (aka the police), of being accused of racism.

In Britain the success of Nigel Farage and his Reform UK Party at the recent local council elections was nothing but startling.

Following Reform UK’s wins – and based on the actual numbers who voted for them – the Labour Party reeled as a prediction was made that if a general election were held, Farage and Reform UK would win government, but not an overall majority.

Labour currently holds 63 per cent of the seats in Westminster. The reality that in two years Reform UK has grown from almost nothing to being in a position to form government is astonishing.

The British elections were to elect over 5000 councillors and 136 local authorities as well as the election of six directly elected mayors and the devolved Scottish and Welsh parliaments.
