Reform Candidate to Replace Burnham as Manchester Mayor Loses Job Over Facebook Post

You're a bigot. Punch a Nazi. Hate has no place here. Sit down and shut up. 

Your daughter was just a sacrifice to the diversity gods, and you should be grateful. And unless you do, don't expect to make a living. 

Marlon West refused to sit down and shut up. He's been campaigning against rape gangs for years after his own daughter became a victim, and with the resignation of now-Prime Minister Andy Burnham from the post of Greater Manchester Mayor, he was recruited by Restore UK to be their candidate for the position. 

Marlon West is the man to restore Greater Manchester.

To say that his candidacy is a long shot is an understatement. Restore UK is a fledgling party, overshadowed by Nigel Farage's Reform UK by a long shot. They both inhabit the right side of the political spectrum, and what distinguishes Restore is that it is blunter about its goals to radically reshape UK immigration policy than Reform. 

You probably know the party's leader, Rupert Lowe, because he was so frustrated by Labour's refusal to do a real Rape Gang Inquiry that he set up and ran an independent commission that took testimony from actual victims and detailed the horrors that the government has been covering up for decades. 

It was a remarkable effort, finally giving a voice to those who have been suppressed and oppressed for decades, shedding light on how the establishment failed British girls in order to "preserve social peace." 

Exposing rape gangs was a threat to social peace because, we all know, the perpetrators were concentrated in one ethnic community, "South Asian" Muslims from Afghanistan and Pakistan.

West had the balls to say that out loud, and for that he was just suspended from his job as a Mental Health Nurse in the NHS by the local Council.

So on-brand for the UK, or for that matter almost any West European country these days.

The left is a big believer that words create reality, and therefore controlling what people say is one of the strongest ways to ensure that only good things happen. Raising taxes, redistributing wealth, restricting economic liberty, and speech controls are all components of their campaign to reshape the human condition. 

Utopia is just around the corner, but it can only be achieved by suppressing dissenters. And taking away a person's ability to make a living is quite the powerful tool. 

I have written to the chair of the Nursing and Midwifery Council about their scandalous decision to publicly suspend Restore Britain's Greater Manchester mayoral candidate days before the election over social media posts.

Imagine being Marlon West and having your daughter repeatedly raped and beaten by people known to the police, only to have them treat her not as the victim, but a sacrifice to the gods of diversity. Would you be angry? 

In a less "civilized" time, you would rally your neighbors and extract a blood debt from the perpetrators. 

But we live in more civilized times, when we have delegated our right to pursue justice to authorities who, in turn, have a duty to enforce agreed-upon laws. It's more civilized because the alternative is feuds, riots, and collective punishment. The concept is at the root of Western Civilization; Aeschylus' trilogy of the Oresteia, early Greek tragedies, enshrined and celebrated the rule of law over vigilantism as a great advancement on the road to civilization, replacing the rule of the strong and violent over the weak who must either suffer what they must, or seek justice on their own. 

The UK government abandoned that trust in favor of multi-tier justice, and in doing so broke the social contract that binds us. 

Now they are punishing West and his daughter yet again for standing up for those who society abandoned. Not by resorting to violence, but by standing for office and speaking the truth. 

This is Marlon West, Restore Britain's candidate in the Greater Manchester mayoral election - just suspended from nursing for posting on social media about the Pakistani gangs who groomed and raped his daughter.

The transnational elite are terrified of the growth of populism, which can be summed up as the people's revolt against their ruling elite. They see ordinary people as pawns to be moved around and sacrificed for the greater good, and any effort to challenge the technocracy as anti-progress and the expression of irrational hatred. 

So they punish the people who stand up, hoping that punishing the few who bravely do will deter the rest.  

It works temporarily, and temporary can be a very long time. Ask the Eastern Europeans who suffered under communism for decades about that.

But suppression doesn't work forever. It works until the rage explodes. Britain is reaching the boiling point, and the results won't be pretty. The creation of the rule of law was a very good thing, and getting beyond revenge and vigilantism has been one of the key pillars of our civilization. 

But it's not working anymore, and it is the elite's fault. They have chosen this path. They look people like West in the eye and say, "You and your daughter don't matter compared to the greater good," and take everything away, including their dignity. 

The people of Greater Manchester will reject this foul establishment attack on Restore Britain's mayoral candidate, @MarlonTag. pic.twitter.com/exAmVgOYs2

And since he didn't accept that answer, they are taking away his job by labeling HIM a danger to his patients. After 30 years, he suddenly became a danger because he is speaking up for his daughter and thousands like her. 

Here in the US, we are facing similar forces, who import aliens who cannot work, need to be fed, housed, and coddled, and in return they commit massive fraud, horrific crimes, and remake communities in their image. 

It's a betrayal.
