Leadership traditionally in the UK is in the hands of the elected government at Westminster, notwithstanding the figurehead role of the Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. However, any role in life, whether it be the family, business, education, arts, media, the Church all need their own leadership which should fit into the national narrative. Perhaps never before in our history has there been a more urgent need for strategic leadership. Politicians at Westminster are very limited in what they can do especially as they only have five years to make their mark before the next lot have a go. This is a very tricky environment to incubate a strategic plan for the next one hundred years.
Yet we have to look forward the next fifty or 100 hundred years, we have to think of our children and grandchildren; at present if we carry on as we are we are handing on a mess of pottage. They will be entitled to view this generation with contempt for having given up without a fight and failing to protect a precious precious heritage that has been handed down to us. They will say to us, why did you sacrifice our independence on the altar of expediency, why did you let a once great nation be subsumed into a totalitarian system developing on the continent, why did you not protect our history, our culture, our mores and ways, why did you allow an alien religious and political system to take over our nation, why did you destroy family life which is the bedrock of any civilised society, why did your churches not rail against the evils going on in your society, why did you sacrifice liberty, freedom of conscience, speech, religion, movement, assembly on the altar of political correctness, why did you submit to bullies who threatened violence, hatred and mayhem against you if you did not agree to their demands?
One major area where strategic thinking is needed is demographics.Reproducing a culture is a creation mandate. ‘Go forth and multiply’ said God in the Bible, and man forthwith complied. God was pretty wise and knew that what is good has to be passed on from generation to generation in the form of family life. This is a foundational area where strategic thinking is needed, in the science of demographics. it’s pretty simple really. If our culture is to be sustained or revived in any recognisable form then adult men and women need to start having more babies to power up the replacement ratio. Because the way things are going the indigenous Brits will be a minority in the land of their ancestors within a pretty short space of time. We have singularly failed to fulfil the creation mandate for the UK, choosing either not to have babies or indeed to abort them as they don’t always fit in with our plans. Sustaining a culture requires responsibility and sacrifice, having a family to pass on a common culture demands great responsibility and sacrifice, two words that are guaranteed not to make you the life and soul of the party any time soon. You see personal peace and affluence are the biggest mantras of our time, I am number one, and my personal happiness and need fulfilment comes before absolutely everything else. The problem is that all those singles who are postponing marriage because they want to enjoy life and a decent career, or who don’t want kids, all those couples who are deciding not to have children because they can’t afford them, or because they don’t want the hassle, and all those people who just never marry or get together with anyone, are setting a direction for a whole nation. Add together thousand of decisions of thousands of individual people deciding not to have children and you end up with a national tragedy, whether the death of a culture or population displacement. Sometimes I look around my peers and wonder at how few of them have reproduced, and many have little time left for such activity as years are against them. Then we hear that ethnic minorities are the communities where the babies are, and we wonder why the face of the nation is changing so rapidly.
This is an area for radical and strategic action. How on earth do you begin to remedy the ‘no babies, no future?’ scenario. Well the core of this is the worldview of people, what makes them tick at the very centre of their being. Unless you can change their mind-set it will be very difficult to change things. It has to be ingrained in society that it is the norm to have a family and children, that it is a wonderful, thing to take of what has gone before and pass it on to the next generation. Motherhood has to be valued by society as the highest of callings, more important than money or career, and fatherhood also has to be highly esteemed.
The Japanese may be in an even worse situation than us. They have an ageing population and younger men and women are just not getting together as they should, perhaps because Japanese men prefer a virtual girlfriend rather than the real thing.
It will take time, but things have to begin to turn around. It begins in the mindset of the people, one by one, the light needs to go on in peoples’ minds as they realise the fog that has lain over the UK and clouded minds and hearts, how truth has been pushed aside to make way for deception, how right has been sneered at as wrong, how wrong has been made to be right.
