The White Renegade of the Year is the person who could have done the most good for his people, but instead did the most harm.
There is always something arbitrary about New Year’s Day. If we ended the year on December 1, there would be a strong case that Elon Musk could have been white man of the year for freeing X and perhaps even being responsible for President Donald Trump’s reelection. If the year continued much longer, Elon Musk might be White Renegade of the Year because of his about-face on free speech and endorsement of replacement migration for cheap labor.
Some of our more unforgiving readers might be expecting us to say the same thing about Donald Trump himself, who just last night said, “We need a lot of people coming in.” Despite it all, we are far better off with Elon Musk in charge of X instead of the Ancien Régime, and there is at least room for hope with President Trump, while there would be none under a President Harris.
Either way, there is a time limit to all of this. There is a point at which populations change so dramatically that it becomes pointless to talk about “reclaiming” our countries. What would that be like in the former Rhodesia? Or South Africa today, where a small Volkstaat emerging out of Orania is probably the best we can hope for? Even our European homelands face demographic replacement.
Perhaps the most degraded European nation is the United Kingdom. Germany has the excuse of being conquered and occupied, but the country that stood for a time alone in World War II now teaches its own children to despise its history and culture. There is no free speech. A two-tier justice system represses patriots and coddles non-white street criminals. The Labour government is wildly unpopular, but the Conservatives are rudderless. They appointed Kemi Badenoch to lead the world’s oldest political party, and she has managed to get herself into a controversy about whether her identity is really Yoruban rather than Nigerian.

There is clearly an opening for a patriotic political party to restore British pride and dignity. There was hope in 2024 when Nigel Farage, the man who delivered Brexit, emerged from semi-retirement to lead Reform UK and establish a beachhead in Parliament. Reform UK now claims that it has more members than the Conservatives. We find much to like about what Mr. Farage promises, including stopping the boats, closer ties with President Trump, and restoring British pride. Mr. Farage’s call for “Net Zero” migration is especially welcome.

Compare this to the current negativity in the UK.
Yet all Starmer seems to think is our future lies with the EU.

At the same time, there is a real danger that this is just containment. Nigel Farage recently suggested that Elon Musk would help back Reform, and there are rumors Mr. Musk may donate $100 million to the party. The last thing Britain needs, however, is more migrants from the subcontinent. Opposition to immigration was one of the main reasons for Brexit, but non-white immigration skyrocketed. It is easy to blame the Tories, but Nigel Farage himself said that one reason to leave the EU was to make it easier to admit more black people. In politics, there is such a thing as too clever by half. Does Mr. Farage want to reverse the demographic transformation of the British Isles, yes or no? There are signs he does not.
He has disavowed remigration. “For us, at the moment, it’s a political impossibility,” he said. “I’m not going to get dragged down the route of mass deportations or anything like that. If I say I support mass deportations, that’s all anybody will talk about for the next 20 years. So it’s pointless even going there. It’s a political impossibility to deport hundreds of thousands of people. We simply can’t do it.”
Then why bother with Reform? There are parts of the United Kingdom that are no longer British. Remigration is now a mainstream issue on the Continent, and it is one of the ironies of Brexit that the UK may now be cut off from a European Union that is moving to the right.
Mr. Farage says that Britain must exit the European Convention on Human Rights or it will “never” be able to solve the migrant crisis. But why should a bureaucratic obstacle prevent an independent country from setting its own immigration policy? Was not the whole point of Brexit to reclaim independence? Or would leaving the European Convention on Human Rights also a be “political impossibility?”
While the Great Replacement in the United Kingdom and Europe is a race problem, religion and culture also matter. In Britain, the main alien force that undermines British values is Islam. Here too, Mr. Farage is weak. “If we politically alienate the whole of Islam, we will lose,” he said in a recent interview. “We have to do everything we can” to bring so-called British Muslims “with us.”
A white advocate would want to know why British Muslims need have any say in British survival at all. Even to suggest that “winning” or “losing” depended on the support of Muslims would be unthinkable to any other generation of Englishmen. Nigel Farage appealed to Sir Winston Churchill’s memory in his New Year’s Message, but it is hard to imagine the Bulldog wanting to play nice with the Saracens. He wrote this in The River War:
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property — either as a child, a wife, or a concubine — must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
The evidence from the “Grooming Gangs” trials of Rotherham show these words are still true. Britain has tried without success to teach Muslims civic nationalism. Why should Muslims assimilate into a culture so weak that it is begging for acceptance from aliens? Mr. Farage falls back on the kind of race denialism that has failed in America: “I couldn’t give a damn whether you’re black or white, whether you’re gay or straight,” he said. “I really don’t care. You’ll be judged by your character.”
The conservative movement in the United States has been spouting this paraphrase of Martin Luther King for decades. Culture follows race, and without race, there is no standard by which to judge “values” or “culture.” Other generations of British leaders understood this. Because Mr. Farage does not, he is stuck trying to convince non-white Britons to adopt left-liberal “values” that are nothing but the timid virtues of a civilization in decline. Not surprisingly, most non-whites reject them and just call Mr. Farage a racist.
What is worse than all this is Mr. Farage’s determination to purge Reform of any challengers from the Right; he promises better “vetting” going forward. He disavowed three Reform candidates just days before the last election. “We don’t want extremists, we don’t want bigots, we don’t want people who think that way, because we represent the silent, decent majority of this great country,” he said in September. Who decides who is an “extremist” or a “bigot”? Many in the British press would call him that. Mr. Farage has set himself up for an endless game of whack-a-mole as the press finds “extremists” whom Mr. Farage will have to expel.
Nigel Farage thinks Reform UK lost votes because they didn’t deselect anti-immigration hardliners quickly enough.
Reminder: Farage had to step in as leader because Tice’s popularity tanked after he let a far-left pressure group vet candidates. The base viewed him as weak & not… pic.twitter.com/forelVYY4h

Nigel Farage has a great political opportunity. He is uniquely charismatic in a nation of lackluster politicians. He has a man-on-the-street appeal that sets him apart, but white advocates should be ready for disappointment. He has shown no sign of breaking with the race denialism, civic nationalism, and conventional center-right posturing that has led the United Kingdom to this sad pass. Britain’s problems will not be solved by leaving another international organization nor by slowing down or even stopping immigration. Without the kind of positive white identity that Great Britain once took for granted, the British people will remain unpresented in their own homeland. Their survival should not be open to negotiation, nor to approval by “British Muslims” or any other non-whites. Their right to a homeland is non-negotiable.
Winston Churchill, whom leftists rightly regard as a “racist,” once said that “Keep England White” would be a good slogan. “Make England White Again” is more fitting now. We understand that no mainstream political leader can say that and hope to win. Winning political power is more important than ideological purity. But the point of power is to achieve greatness, not to pretend “liberals are the real racists” while the United Kingdom fades into extinction. If demographic projections don’t change, there will not always be an England. The British are a people — a formerly great people — not a set of abstractions, values, or ideas. They deserve a champion. Nigel Farage has not shown he is willing to be that champion. He is 2024’s White Renegade of the Year because he is muffing a great opportunity.
Let us hope he surprises us in 2025 — and also that the our leaders realize what we really need is a lot of people going out.
