During the recent Devon County Council elections, while lawfully distributing campaign materials in Teignmouth, a volunteer from my campaign was approached by Cllr David Cox, the sitting Liberal Democrat councillor. Without provocation, he said:
“Do you know the woman from the Heritage Party is a Polish communist? She’s from Poland. Poland is communist.”
He added:
“I don’t want anything to do with the Heritage Party because I’m a Roman Catholic.”
And later, when the topic of a possible future African pope came up, he remarked:
“But he’s black!”
This wasn’t political disagreement. These remarks could reasonably be considered racially insensitive, and were without question religiously bigoted and nationally defamatory - delivered by a man currently chairing Teignbridge’s Infrastructure, Education, and Traffic committees.
I am not a communist. I’m someone who helped dismantle a communist regime.
I left Poland more than 35 years ago after opposing Soviet-aligned tyranny. I have lived in the UK ever since, contributing , peacefully, and democratically.
To be publicly defamed with the very ideology I resisted is an insult not just to me, but to every citizen who still believes in truth, integrity, and accountable public service.
And this wasn’t said in private - it was said to influence voters during a live election campaign. It’s likely it wasn’t said to just one person.
Cllr Cox was a sitting member of the very council that voted to postpone these elections.
These councillors should never have stood in these elections as they supported efforts to cancel them.
It was only due to sustained public pressure that elections went ahead in areas like Devon. Yet they still benefited from a system that shields incumbents, allowing them to stand again and use the same tactics that have kept them in power for years, regardless of public disapproval.
Whether or not he voted directly, he benefited from the broken democratic process—he stood again and reclaimed his seat, with no challenge to the system that enabled him to do so, regardless of public trust or performance.
Despite visible campaigns, strong local presence, and teams of dedicated volunteers, outsider candidates across the board received implausibly low vote counts—while the usual incumbents were returned with suspiciously high margins, often in the thousands.
Sound familiar?
This is exactly what used to happen in communist Poland.
Millions would march against the regime - yet the results would still say 90% support for the government.
The difference?
In Poland, people knew it was a lie.
In the UK, they blame each other. Even councillors, at the count, were overheard blaming residents for “voting in the wrong people.”
But are they? Or are those votes simply being redistributed behind the scenes?
The Closed Circle of Cowardice
And when you try to challenge this system? Here's what you're told:
The Government says:
“We don’t control councils.
Reorganisation, elections, climate policy, immigration, housing—that’s up to them.
Councils just tell us what their residents demand.
The Electoral Commission says:
“We don’t interfere. We offer guidance. Councils make the final decisions.”
The Councils say:
“We’re just following government orders.”
And the Public says:
“Local voting doesn’t matter. Councils cant do anything We must get rid of central government and the monarchy. Bring people power in!! ”
And in that closed loop, the trap is set.
People are now demanding the removal of the only remaining structures that might still offer legal protection:
Parliament, the Crown- Common law , constitutional checks.
Once gone, all that’s left is an opaque network of unelected councils, quangos, and corporate-funded NGOs - answering to no one, shielded by “community partnership” language, and enforcing top-down policies with no democratic appeal.
This isn’t “freedom.”
It’s the Marxist model in its most modern disguise.
This Isn’t a Battle Between Good and Evil
Let’s be clear:
This is not a moral battle between good and evil. It’s a power struggle between two wings of the same system.
One side destroys the country because they don’t care about it.
The other side destroys it because they say they love it.
And while they pretend to fight, they deliver the same outcome.
The same global donors fund both sides.
The apparent “opposition” is funded by the very same interests pushing the narratives they claim to resist.
They are designed as pressure valves - to absorb and redirect public anger without ever threatening the agenda.
Real opposition is never promoted by mainstream media.
Real opposition is silenced, discredited, or banned - because it poses a genuine risk to the system.
The Blueprint: Manufactured Martyrs and Chosen Dissidents
This is the Lenin strategy. The Mao strategy. The Hitler strategy.
All three were publicly positioned as political prisoners or suppressed rebels—before being handed full power by the very forces they were supposedly fighting.
Lenin was transported from Switzerland in a sealed train with German intelligence backing and Western funding.
Mao was framed as a rural hero - before ushering in a fully centralised and one of the most brutal regimes in history.
Hitler jailed briefly after a failed coup only to become a “martyr,” rebranding the Nazi party with public sympathy.
Modern equivalents?
Nelson Mandela - released when global transition needed a symbolic figure, not when resistance succeeded. His rise marked the final phase of a negotiated transfer of power - not a “revolution”.
Lech Wałęsa - paraded as anti-communist, handed Poland to global banks and Brussels, and later implemented the very reforms communism couldn’t pull off.
These were not grassroots victories.
These were strategic installations.
Create the myth.
Gain the sympathy.
Seize the narrative.
Deliver the transformation.
Why This Case Matters
Cllr David Cox is not unique.
He is the product of a system that protects and promotes this behaviour—while punishing anyone who challenges it honestly.
His reelection, his remarks, and the system that protects him—all tell us one thing:
This isn’t democracy.
This is a performance - rigged, recycled, and ritualised.
And the tragedy?
The public keeps applauding.
They complain - but still trust the same headlines.
They know it’s rigged—but still blame each other.
They hate the outcome—but defend the system.
Until people stop confusing convenient lies with truth…
Until they stop mistaking managed dissent for resistance…
Until they stop expecting the very machine that enslaves them to liberate them…
The collapse will continue - because they will keep building it.
