By Angry British Conservative – Mr. TMarsh-Connors

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has now declared that fixing the welfare system is a “moral imperative.” I nearly choked on my tea. Not because the welfare system doesn’t need urgent reform it does, it’s been bloated, inefficient, and riddled with dependency culture for decades but because the man saying it is the same one actively making the situation worse with every policy push, every smug statement, and every limp bit of so-called leadership.

Let’s call this what it really is: a moral imperative for Starmer to leave office before he causes further irreparable harm to Britain.

Welfare Reform? You’re Having a Laugh, Mate.

Starmer’s idea of “fixing” welfare will be another round of:

Increased bureaucracy, more red tape, and extra forms nobody understands.

Expanded state dependency, where working families continue to get shafted while those who game the system thrive.

Punishment of the aspirational, as benefits balloon for the idle while strivers get taxed into the ground.

You don’t fix a broken system by incentivizing idleness. But that’s exactly what this government is doing and they’re doing it with your money.

2029 Can’t Come Soon Enough

We have to endure another four years of Starmer’s hollow speeches, moralistic lecturing, and middle-management governance that treats the public like stupid employees in need of constant correction. If 2024 was a fluke, then 2029 has to be the reckoning. A proper Conservative resurgence one not apologizing for British values, discipline, hard work, for truth must come, or we’re going to look back on these years as the point where the dam truly burst.

Let’s Face Facts

Starmer is not the solution. He’s part of the elite problem, the smug set who think the country’s working class is a project, a statistic, a managed problem. Welfare, in their eyes, isn’t about helping people get off the system it’s about keeping them there, pacified and docile. That’s not compassion that’s control.

And as for the moral imperative? Let me tell you what’s really moral:

Rewarding work, not idleness.

Empowering families, not undermining them.

Reducing dependence, not expanding it.

We need a welfare system that helps people rise, not wallow.

But that’s not what Starmer wants. He wants a Britain that is managed, not led. Nannied, not inspired. Numb, not alive.

And frankly, the madness of it all is driving me up the wall. I could scream. I could go absolutely bloody mad but then again, that’s probably what they want: for the patriotic voices to feel like strangers in their own country.

Until 2029, keep your head high, your voice loud, and your flag waving. This is still our country.

Let’s clear the air right away if you’ve been following my work, my blog, or my podcast for more than five minutes, you’ll know I’m a hardline conservative through and through. No apologies, no fluff, no compromise. That’s the brand and it always will be. I believe in strong borders, national identity, personal responsibility, and good old-fashioned common sense.

Now and then, I like to dip my toes into American politics yes, even though I proudly wear the Union Jack on my sleeve. And because of that, some people love to assume I’m a full-blown Donald 

Trump fanatic. I support the man, sure. Given the choice between Trump and the far-left clown circus that is the modern Democratic Party, I’d vote red in a heartbeat. But let’s get one thing straight supporting someone doesn’t mean agreeing with everything they say or do.

Here’s where the nuance comes in something sorely lacking in today’s political discourse. American conservatism and British conservatism are not the same beast.

They share values, yes, but the flavours are different. British conservatives the real ones, not the soggy centrists in Westminster pretending to be we come from a tradition of ironclad monarchy, heritage, and keeping things grounded. American conservatism? That’s a louder, brasher, more performative cousin. Sometimes brilliant, sometimes bonkers.

Case in point? The “Golden Dome.”

Yes, you read that right. Trump has unveiled plans for a "Golden Dome" defence system apparently a bold, shiny, gilded answer to Israel’s Iron Dome. Because of course, America doesn’t just build something effective and practical it’s got to be big, it’s got to be flashy, and apparently, it’s got to sound like a Vegas casino.

Don’t get me wrong I’m all for national defence. Israel’s Iron Dome has saved thousands of lives, and we should always be looking at ways to defend free people from real threats. But the branding here? I mean seriously. A "Golden Dome"? What’s next the UK unveiling a "Diamond Dome"? 

Perhaps the EU will slap together a "Platinum Parasol" to protect themselves from harsh tweets and mean opinions.

It’s parody at this point or would be, if it weren’t actually happening.

Here’s the crux of the matter: Supporting Trump over the radical left doesn’t mean I check my brain at the door. I can support his stance on free speech, border control, and the economy while also rolling my eyes at some of the over-the-top American pageantry that comes with the package.

So no, I’m not a Trump fanatic. I’m a British conservative who appreciates strong leadership, but also values restraint, realism, and not turning defence strategy into a gold-plated PR stunt.

Let’s stay grounded, folks. Be proud, be prepared but let’s keep the nonsense in check.

There was a time not that long ago when understanding how money is made, how products are sold, and how wages are paid was considered common sense. You didn’t need a degree in economics to grasp the basics of supply and demand or the idea that a business needs to turn a profit to survive. But somehow, in modern Britain, we’ve arrived at a bizarre point where even the most rudimentary business principles have to be explained… slowly… and repeatedly.

It’s both embarrassing and infuriating.

You can thank decades of anti-capitalist indoctrination, entitlement culture, and state dependency for this. We’ve raised a generation of adults who genuinely believe that profit is theft, that companies should run like charities, and that government intervention solves every problem. These people cry about “greedy corporations” while tweeting from an iPhone, drinking their oat milk lattes from Starbucks, and getting their next-day delivery from Amazon, none of which would exist without the very capitalism they loathe.

Let’s get this straight: 🔹 Businesses don’t exist to give you a job but to make money. 🔹 Wages are paid out of profit, not from thin air. 🔹 You raise taxes, increase regulation, and demonise success? You kill business. Simple.

Explaining this should not be revolutionary. Yet here I am, having to spell it out while MPs argue for wealth taxes and eco-activists glue themselves to the M25, all while we plunge deeper into economic decline. We’ve got teachers lecturing kids about socialism, bureaucrats throttling enterprise with red tape, and half of Parliament acting like profit is a dirty word.

Britain once led the world in industry, trade, and innovation. Now we’re caught in a spiral of whining, wokeness, and wilful ignorance. If we can’t even grasp the basics of how business works, how in God’s name are we supposed to fix anything?

This isn’t just frustrating. It’s the canary in the coal mine. When the public needs a crash course in Business 101 just to understand why the shops are closing, the jobs are vanishing, and inflation’s through the roof, then yes, it’s a symptom of why the country is going so wrong.
