The Con-Dem were humiliated last night in Barnsley Central; but this was a victory for TWOP, even though we did not stand a candidate.
Why? Because of the turnout. Just over a third of the electorate bothered to take part in this farce - demonstrating clearly that they know the representative system has failed.
Only TWOP advocates True Democracy. In our online voting system everybody who pays for government has a say in government.

slavemaster@guardian.co.uk
It is not surprising that guardian.co.uk have now blocked me from posting comments on their stories, nor that they have removed those comments that I have made. No doubt they would cite their anti-spam policy, were I to query this: I of course included a link to the TWOP website with every comment.
The Guardian once pretended to be a liberal voice, a champion of personal liberty, and so on. But, by this anti-revolutionary oppression, they have proven themselves to be no more than another farmer's dog.
John Keegan, author of one of TWOP's cultural platforms (A History of Warfare) describes the conflict between the Western and Eastern way of war; essentially, the conflict between farmers, who seek always to defend what they have, and pastoralists, who roam freely seeking new conquests. TWOP speaks of the New British Way, and the kind of people we want living in Great Britain; unquestionably, we are with the pastoralists.
While we do not envisage or encourage wholesale slaughter of our enemies from horseback, we feel the same degree of contempt for our enemies. They are the ones whose existence depends on everyone staying in line, on unchanging routine, on making a living off sheep corralled by dogs. We will have a society of free men, deciding their future together, and always seeking the upward path.
It is, as I said, getting harder for everyone to pretend to be something other than what they are. And here I have to repeat an old revolutionary statement which sounds tired even to me, but is yet as true as it has ever been: those who are not with us are against us.
It is a shame about the Guardian; but there it is. By their actions they have proved that they are not a liberal voice, not a safeguard of anyone's liberty. All they are is a barking dog of the Establishment; the only comment they are interested in is the bleating of the sheep.

People, What Did You Expect?
So, we have the beginnings of a representative system in Egypt; notice I don't say that it will be a democracy, because it won't. David Cameron was the first cringing Western toady to visit them post-Mubarak, and no-one from Egypt has contacted TWOP, so it's a fair bet they've got a long way to go before they build themselves a True Democracy.
Speaking of Acey, he apparently is against AV - the 'alternative voting' system - while his Con-Dem lapdog is in favour of it. Uh, way to present a united front, guys ... maybe shambles is the new order. Or maybe, no, definitely, the whole AV debate is a sham. Actually, that's the truth: because in a representative system it doesn't matter which bullies are running things or how they get there - they're still bullies, still corrupt, and that still isn't a True Democracy.
And for anyone reading this who is still undecided as to whether or not to support us ... listen. VAT's at 20 per cent. Food is expensive. Fuel duty (tax) is high and likely to go higher. The nambies want to impose minimum prices on booze as a way of avoiding having to tackle the real causes of Great Britain's increasing alcohol problem. And, because inflation is high, the government want the Bank of England to raise interest rates; so now if you can even get a mortgage, you probably won't be able to afford it.
And you still think things can't get worse under the present system? Come on!

TWOP In Egypt
No, we have no followers in Egypt. But ah, how we are needed there! We send our best wishes to the Egyptian people in their struggle against oppression.
I thought it was most telling that the Egyptians know they want to be rid of Mubarak, but don't know what they want in his place. This is one of the drawbacks of dictatorship: the dictator becomes the only imaginable governor. This, I think, is why the British people don't overthrow their own unconstitutional electoral tyranny.
On tonight's BBC News we saw a commentator caught between two protesters, one who wanted an Islamic government to replace Mubarak and another who wanted a people's democracy - whatever that is supposed to mean.
They could have a True Democracy government such as TWOP is working for - for more details see our website, www.twopforum.webs.com. While we have the deepest suspicion of the autocratic nature of Islamic states, it would be wonderful to see the world's first government that enabled Muslims to have strong influence over government policy, while allowing non-Muslim opinion also to count. Such an arrangement is completely possible under our system. How ironic it would be if Egypt chose this course!
One final observation: it is interesting that the Egyptian authorities shut down the Internet when they realized the depth of the crisis. Considering that the Internet is the foundation of the True Democracy of the future, it shows that the dictators understand its power. When the people of Britain understand it too, the days of our current oppressive regime will be numbered.

Why Idiocracy Isn't That Amusing
I love the Mike Judge film Idiocracy. An Army guy who is fairly dumb by today's standards takes part in an experiment that accidentally keeps him asleep for five hundred years and when he wakes up, he's the smartest guy on Earth because the stupid have had more children than the intelligent.
It's a very funny film ... but the humour is starting to become hollow for me.
I'm being victimized at work. I suspect it's because the men, mostly, I work with are too thick to get another job - my excuse is that I'm too old. Certainly they are crude, and at least one of the younger ones, I suspect, cannot read. And there's the problem: I like to take a book in with me and, well, read it - the job I do tends to have extended quiet bits between the actual work we do. I've had one book with the pages glued together and another with obscenities written in the back of it; I've had pills stolen out of my bag. It's not encouraging that, I suspect, the glue and pills incident was committed by one of the supervisors.
I haven't always worked among people quite so obviously thick, but I have always found that reading a book makes some people nervous and irritated. Why, I've never quite understood, but I now think it is because they are so thick, and feel threatened, somehow, by something and someone they can't understand.
This is part of a larger prejudice against education. Many, many years ago I first encountered that sneering, insulting phrase, "Those who can, do, those who can't, teach." I recently joined a Facebook group against high fuel prices, and saw a post from the organizer telling members not to criticize each others' spelling and grammar, dismissing as 'headmasters' those who can read and write and take notice of a spellchecker.
Something else occurred to me recently on this subject, too. I've seen two other films that I quite like, both biopics of popular singers - Ian Dury and Johnny Cash. If you believed the films, both of these guys were ordinary working-class Joes with no particular academic skills, who made it big through passion and luck. Not so, faplaps: both Dury and Cash were academic college boys. Why do the films edit these bits out? Presumably because we can't let anyone get the impression that our popular musical hardmen are academic pussies.
This is one of the many reasons why I know TWOP has to succeed, and True Democracy has to happen. It's not because I too am a headmaster; it's because we run the risk of allowing our society to splinter along yet another line, that between the educated and the uneducated. It is not that I think we all have to have some sort of pompous 'minimum standard of education' - it's that if we can't use our own language properly, and express our ideas clearly to each other, how the hell can we communicate at all?
And I don't think this is important just because I seem to be on the receiving end of hostility from the thick ... but that doesn't help, let me tell you.

Keeping The New Faith
I am not a man of God; I was once, but have since decided that God might as well not exist. This is slightly more complicated than statements atheists usually make, but my reasoning goes like this: if God exists, He cannot be expected to perform miracles when we need them; nor can we expect Him to show Himself when we need our faith in Him bolstered; nor can we criticize His apparent lack of concern over the many evils and tragedies that beset our lives(for He is said to work in mysterious ways); nor can we contact Him via email.
While those who have faith say that He is always in their lives and is an integral part of it, the fact remains that they carry on their lives as if God is nowhere to be found. Therefore, all I have done is to cut out the middleman, so to speak.
My faith is not in God, not in the various substitutes people find for God, but in people themselves; I have faith not in God, but in Man. I truly and wholeheartedly believe not only that the future we will build in TWOP and True Democracy is possible, likely even, but that it is morally right. It is right not in the terms that the politically-correct use - and may the God I don't believe in heap dire retribution upon them all, evils minions of Satan, whom I also do not believe in, that they are - but right in the sense that it is the best we could do for ourselves and all others. It does not involve some wishful-thinking-type change in the fundamental nature of Man; it does not rest on velvet-gloved iron-fisted brutality masked by clever words or hidden behind a nice suit and tie. It simply rests on believing that changing the dynamics of our society will change society itself.
TWOP believes not in the fundamental goodness of Man, nor in his fundamental evil, but in his fundamental humanity. We are, all of us, capable of good, evil, indifference, and every other human emotion and characteristic. We are, all of us, worthy and deserving of respect, and should respect each other, even, especially, if we do not agree on a point of view. We are, none of us, bound to repeat the mistakes of the past: the past has no more power over us than we allow it.
All of this means that the world we foresee, the Great Britain that we shall build, is waiting, not for an act of faith, but for an act of will. Will you choose to help create True Democracy? If you look at our website - www.twopforum.webs.com - you will see some ideas on how to begin. You don't even have to spend more money to start getting involved! There is nothing stopping you, nothing holding you back - it's just that act of will.
For my part, I will continue to do what I can, knowing that of all the people of Britain, I am the one acting truly out of faith; faith in Man. One day that faith will be repaid; one day TWOP will be victorious; one day Great Britain will emerge, a triumphant bastion of True Democracy.

Students Right To Riot?
Alone of all British political organizations, TWOP refuses to condemn the recent student riots over the Con-Dem vote to increase university fees.
It is not that we regard violence as a legitimate political expression: we do not. It is that we do not regard a violent response as a successful one.
It is the same as the argument against mounting a revolution. The State will always have more men, more money and more resources to call upon than any organization intending to overthrow it. It is only when the State has already ceased to be effective that it can be overthrown - because in a sense it already has been. This is what happened in Russia in 1917; it is not going to happen here.
However, neither do we support those who feel that the students should have mounted a peaceful protest. What is the use of peaceful protest in a representative society? It is time to realize that whoever's views they pretend to represent, it isn't those of the electorate, of the taxpayers whose money they spend whenever they make their decisions.
I urge any student reading this to check our website, www.twopforum.webs.com, for more information about True Democracy. This is the political system we want, are working for, and will one day create. In our system, in the Great Britain to come, it is not so much that students will have a right to riot; it is that they will have no need to.
