Who was Paul Pawlowski?>Paul Pawlowski (born 1926/1927) was a Polish-born immigrant, Hellenic polytheist and English republican who, from the late 1970s until his resignation in 1996, served as the leader and only member of the Republican Party of England and the English People’s Liberation Army (EPLA).What was the EPLA?<The EPLA originated as a split from the Maoist Working People's Party of England. The Army's ideology called for the independence of England from "Judeo-fascist" forces.<According to the "Dictionary of Terrorism", it was "extremely weak" but had "undertaken isolated bomb attacks". In 1983, it claimed responsibility for a parcel bomb sent to the headquarters of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.<Barberis et al claim that the organisation may have had links to the Oliver Cromwell Republican Party, founded in 1977. This minor organisation, also led by Paul Pawlowski, later renamed the Republican Party of England, is best known for its leader's demonstration against the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981The revolutionary career of Pawlowski, in his own words:"
In 1960s I read the Iliad in HMP Brixton.Why! Thats polytheism – thats my religion i decided.in 1970s I opened Temple of Aphrodite Pandemos in my one room in Tooting. Landlord told me to get out – evicted.I moved to empty house in Charington Road squat.There was Banner books shop nearby in Camden High street.The shopwindow was Red with little red books bust of chairman Mao in the middle. Indian man Bijour was the shopkeeper.I am having lunch in Cypriot restaurant with my lady when Bijour comes in sits with us at our table and we talk. Bijour says What Britain needs is British peoples liberation army.I took on his idea and improved itWhat Britain needs is English republican ideology – Republican party of England – English peoples liberation army.The monarch abdicate – Republican England is born.I bought a house in Accrington – turned it into HQ of English Peoples Liberation Army. Got raided by Special Branch.What is the strength of the English Peoples Liberation Army? the SB officer asked. Military secret I replied. I think you are regimental Number One he said.I drafted a petition for the Queen to abdicate let England be Republic. Went with it to meeting in Birmingham. It was leftwingers rally – about 200 signed my petition for the Queen to abdicate.Encouraged by the response I convened a meeting at the Rising Sun pub near Victoria coach station. Five comrades came – we drunk pint and talked English Republic.Encouraged - I drafted English Republican leaflet – published by Paul Pawlowski, Secretary, Republican Party of England.The feedback was abusive – To saltmines in Siberia with you you foreigner!They didn't like the name …ski. Printed another leaflet – same text only this time published by Thomas Smith, Secretary of Republican Party of England. Now the feedback was normal – some agreed – some asking for more info – some supported some against – normal.Went with it to Camden Town Hall where the Daily Worker had a fete. The police at the entrance took notice of the name Thomas Smith – the police was on the lookout for that Thomas Smith – got raided by Special Branch officersI continued with placard and leaflet calling for England to be Republic. Got arrested for it in the street in Accrington – the magistrate said Three months. With Clenched Fist salute I cried out Victory to the English Peoples Liberation Army!Local newspaper carried report about it.In HMP Strangeways prison officers were asking me "Tell us where is the English Peoples Liberation Army and we all go there and join it."HMP prison officers were the first recruits to EPLA.HMP Strangeways was burned down – it was burning for many days."

>thatchershe didnt just financialise our national assets but also sold off our social housing to estate agencies, leaving us as feudal dependents to private speculation.
>national identityit is true that as things stand, there is no coherent national identity, because we have no national basis of production. the error of the right is in thinking you can expel foreign labour while importing foreign capital. the only national strategy is re-industrialisation, self-sufficiency and internal markets therefore. there is no MP which stands for this however.

Any takers
>>2361953some government statistics:
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-system-statistics-year-ending-september-2024/how-many-people-claim-asylum-in-the-uk>Between 2004 and 2020, there were between 22,000 and 46,000 people claiming asylum in the UK each year. However, since the second half of 2021, there has been a noticeable increase, reaching a peak of almost 103,000 in the year ending March 2023.>Since 2020, there has been an increase in people arriving in the UK without leave to enter via small boats across the English Channel. Almost all small boat arrivals claim asylum (99% in the year ending September 2024). As shown in Figure 1, 28,050 people claiming asylum in the year ending September 2024 had arrived on a small boat (28% of the total). The remaining claimants will have entered either through other irregular routes (such as lorries or shipping containers); through the common travel area without valid permission to enter; or through regular routes with either valid leave to enter (such as using a visa) or using fraudulent documents. Internally matched data for asylum claims suggests that around 20% of people claiming asylum in 2023 held a valid visa within 7 days of lodging an asylum claim.>Albanian nationals claiming asylum more than tripled (+259%) between the year ending September 2021 and the year ending September 2022, due to a high number of Albanian small boat arrivals in the summer of 2022.>70% of people claiming asylum in the year ending September 2024 were male.>>2362075>refugeesalbanian refugees..?
<Albanian nationals claiming asylum more than tripled (+259%) between the year ending September 2021 and the year ending September 2022, due to a high number of Albanian small boat arrivals in the summer of 2022.a war must have broken out in eastern europe.
>>2362077The CPINS indicate that a large proportion of asylum applications from Albania will be made on the basis of being a victim of trafficking or blood feud, being targeted on the basis of sexual orientation, or domestic violence (the fifth relates to the extent to which those seeking protection can rely on the Albanian state to help them). This is supported by the experience of those working with Albanian asylum seekers.
Trafficking is a significant issue affecting those seeking asylum from Albania. Some young people are trafficked internally within Albania, and then out of the country into mainland Europe or the UK. The reasons for this may relate to sexual, criminal or labour exploitation, or result from family debt to informal lenders linked to organised crime. Other young people seeking to flee serious harm in Albania fall into the control of trafficking gangs as the only route out of Albania to safety, or as they travel alone through Europe to seek asylum.
Some young people find themselves in debt-bondage situations where they are informed by the gang that smuggled them to the UK that they must work to repay the cost of their journey to the UK. Children and young people affected by poverty and other vulnerabilities may be at particular risk of this form of harm[4].
Although much evidence has been provided to show how women are at risk from this form of crime, organisations working on the ground say that boys and young men are also at risk, and that this is under-recognised due to stigma and lack of recognition of male vulnerability to trafficking.
The evidence underpinning the government’s own country guidance on trafficking of boys and young men clearly indicates the risk they face[5], and this is supported by the fact that Albanian boys and men have been recognised as genuine victims of trafficking under the UK National Referral Mechanism for the protection of victims of modern slavery at almost the same rate as females[6].
>>2362079>The CPINS indicate that a large proportion of asylum applications from Albania will be made on the basis of being a victim of traffickinghttps://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/commentaries/albanian-asylum-seekers-in-the-uk-and-eu-a-look-at-recent-data/<In 2022, 12% of Albanian citizens arriving via small boat were referred to the UK’s modern slavery system.so not exactly a "large proportion". also, could i get the numbers you acquired from a suitable source, please?
>small boats because of a lack of legal entry>Other young people seeking to flee serious harm in Albania fall into the control of trafficking gangs as the only route out of Albania to safety, or as they travel alone through Europe to seek asylum.yet if we see these statistics:
https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/commentaries/albanian-asylum-seekers-in-the-uk-and-eu-a-look-at-recent-data/<In 2022, the UK received more Albanian asylum applicants than other European countries (Figure 2). Most EU countries received fewer than 20 Albanians claiming asylum in both 2021 and 2022. The rise in Albanian asylum seekers to the UK is thus unusual when compared to the experience of EU member states.we see that asylum is not claimed in the first safe country they arrive in, but they are purposrfully going to the UK. why is that? is it because we are the safest country in europe, or something else? we also see many small boats coming from france into britain. why would refugees quickly flee france for britain?
>>2362116france: 6,735
UK: 15,925
why do you think there is a disparity?
>>2362125looking at the charts abd the claims,
there are 27 EU member countries
and 13 of them took in more than 20 Albanians.
So the statement is true.
>>2362141i do not regard myself as being fleeced. the asylum budget is a small part of our minuscule overseas-development-aid budget (yes, we really do fraudulently consider asylum payments to be "development assistance") and it halved between 2023 and 2024. we spend about £1,200 billion and of that, 2 billion goes to asylum seekers. (and, for scale, about 1 billion goes on the scottish government blundering a regional ferry contract i doubt you've heard of.)
>>2362142i was surprised someone didn't go with that, the idiot pedant option. the purpose of highlighting that "Most EU countries received fewer than 20 Albanians" is to make it seem like everyone else is taking 20 and we're taking 15k, when the reality is that the bigger countries are taking double-digit figures, nobody gives a fuck that luxembourg and san marino aren't taking that many, and it's hardly a shock that no albanians want to live in fucking finland. that disingenuous implication collapses if you include a chart showing that france are taking numbers of roughly the same magnitude. the lying i can take, but not the incompetence.
>>2362145the status quo
is constantly seething about refugees. keir starmer doesn't have a good word to say for them, his predicessor Blair used to coordinate headlines about cracking down on them with The Sun newspaper. i'm not some bleeding heart - i don't give a fuck. if truckload after truckload of albanian mafia are pouring into this country to steal and swindle and turn into gypsies and occupy the local park pissing off homeowners who were just about to sell and now have to wait for them to fuck off, i do not care, it wouldn't add up to the criminality and the waste and the personally-insulting incompetence exuded by the average MP.
>>2362160the graphics are in support of his claim.
You glibly dismissed his claim
>if you're going to try and slip a dodgy implication past the reader, you can't undercut it in the pictures. the pictures support the claim. Take it back.
>>2362164Heard you want your dignity back?
Shut the fuck up
>>2362155>i do not regard myself as being fleeced>2 billion goes to asylum seekersso your internal feelings contradict external reality? as expected. this is not your personal error though, but the nature of epistemology. empirical reality can contradict statistical reality for example, but when statistics come in, we must conform ourselves to the higher truth. for example, an average fella might not experience climate change directly, but when statistically modeled, the facts displays a higher reality of global warming. only lower life forms lack the mode of abstraction so as to be unable to accept statistics.
>Most EU countries received fewer than 20 Albanians" is to make it seem like everyone else is taking 20 and we're taking 15k, when the reality is that the bigger countries are taking double-digit figuresdouble digits vastly differ from pentuple digit figures. and is britain one of the "bigger" countries in europe? it has the biggest purse, which is what you are avoiding saying for some reason.
>france are taking numbers of roughly the same magnitude.😂😂😂 we are taking over DOUBLE the amount of france. do you not know basic arithmetic? ill refresh your memory:
france: 6,735
UK: 15,925
UK is taking around 236% more albanians than france and over 600% more than germany. these countries are bigger than the UK, so whats going on here?
>the status quo is constantly seething about refugees. keir starmer doesn't have a good word to say for themdidnt you see the recent news that he has entirely backtracked on his anti-immigrant comments?
>i'm not some bleeding heart - i don't give a fuck.yes, you dont care about this country. you have already established this.
>if pakistani grooming gangs were raping young english girls i wouldnt careyes, we know, mate. keep your head in the sand, yeah?
>it wouldn't add up to the criminality and the waste and the personally-insulting incompetence exuded by the average MP.i agree. imprison parliament and the deport the illegal immigrants. deal?
>>2362197you print money by creating a deficit, which is paid for by taxes. if you dont tax, you create inflation, whuch as keynes confers, is just another form of taxation.
>>2362195right, so british resources, or british labour.
