Radical Activists in the UK Come to Kamala’s Aid
Prepare yourself, America: The British are on the way.
And not just any Brits. Not the friendly ones who politely ask for Earl Grey tea instead of coffee and exclaim “Gosh!” when they see your skyscrapers.
No, the most arrogant, most irritating of my compatriots are headed your way.
Our most unbearable windbags are making their way across the pond to annoy and hassle the free men and women of the United States.
It’s an influx of snobs. They’re likely flexing their index fingers right now, ready to wag them in your faces as they criticize you for your “stupidity.”
Yes, a large group of activists from Britain’s ruling Labour Party have arrived in the US to campaign for Kamala Harris.
In a now deleted post on LinkedIn, Labour’s head of operations, Sofia Patel, boasted that 100 current and former party staff are heading to the States to assist Harris in reaching the White House.
And she mentioned that there were still “ten spots available” for anyone willing to go to North Carolina to support the Democrats.
Imagine it — posh, pronoun-declaring, knee-taking leftists from the old colonial power trying to sway the hearts and minds of the hard-working people of North Carolina.
They will also target other swing states. Because what your election really needed was supercilious outsiders with names like Arabella and Jolyon telling you the world will be doomed if you do something foolish like vote for Donald Trump.
The news of this impending arrival of a woke infantry has stirred up controversy. And rightfully so.
It is “blatant foreign interference” in our election, declared Trump.
Furthermore, it’s foreign interference from Britain, the country that once held its colonial power over America.
No wonder Susie Wiles, co-manager of the Trump-Vance campaign, is feeling revolutionary.
Americans will reject the advances of these meddling British leftists, she stated, just as they rejected “the oppression of big government” back in 1776.
You tell them.
Keir Starmer, our Labour prime minister, dismisses it as a non-issue.
When the Trump campaign lodged a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, calling for an “immediate investigation” into Labour’s activities, Sir Keir urged for calm.
The Labour activists campaigning for Kamala are doing it “in their spare time,” he mentioned. Since they aren’t being paid by Labour, it’s all okay.
But is it really? It remains to be seen if the FEC deems the Kamala camp’s welcome of the Labour supporters as crossing a line.
However, it’s without a doubt that the arrival of these posh Kamala enthusiasts is a form of invasion.
As someone who has interacted with many Labour individuals throughout the years, I can tell you this: They are extremely condescending towards Americans. Particularly towards Americans who support Trump.
They see Trump voters as a mass of fools, as dimwitted individuals whose minds have been influenced by excessive Fox News consumption.
And the things they say about Trump himself — they’re outrageous.
David Lammy, current foreign secretary under Starmer, once labelled Trump a “neo-Nazi-sympathizing sociopath.”
He made this absurd statement in 2018, two years after Trump was elected into the White House by 63 million American voters.
This is what the top figures in Labour think of Trump supporters: That they’re so ignorant they would unknowingly put a “new Hitler” in power.
Then there’s Sadiq Khan, Labour’s woke mayor of London.
Trump’s rhetoric to rally his supporters is akin to “the fascists of the 20th century,” he once lamented.
These individuals truly view Trump supporters as sheep herded here and there by their demagogic orange leader. It reeks of condescension.
Trump certainly doesn’t hold back either.
After being badmouthed by Khan once again in 2019, Trump termed him a “stone cold loser” and remarked that he’s similar to the “incompetent” Bill de Blasio, “only half his height.” Oh, snap.
If anything, Labour’s grassroots activists are even more dismissive than Lammy and Khan.
They form a type of woke elite, always looking down at foolish Brits who voted for Brexit and ignorant Americans who adore Trump.
Similar to the old colonial rulers, they perceive Americans as too foolish to govern themselves. According to them, they need enlightenment from blue-haired Oxford graduates from abroad.
The positive aspect is that you don’t need a revolution to get rid of these annoying Brits. Just inquire: “What is a woman?”
Seriously, this question stumps the woke radicals of the modern left who think there are 72 genders and that you can possess a penis and still be a woman.
I posed this question to every Labour activist who knocked on my door during our general election in July. And they were all reduced to babbling wrecks.
So, voters in swing states, there’s no need to get your muskets out to repel the invading Brits — simply dazzle them with science.
