If you’ve read this far and thought “yes, that’s exactly how I feel,” then this is the point where it has to become more than a nod and a share.
The establishment is counting on you doing nothing. They are counting on you reading, agreeing, maybe muttering in the pub – and then carrying on as normal.
They are wrong.
This page sets out a few concrete, peaceful things you can do right now to turn that anger into pressure.
1. Join the Campaign List
If you do just one thing today, make it this.
We cannot coordinate English days of action, email pushes or local efforts through wishful thinking. We need a list of people who are willing to do more than shout at the telly.
- Add your name and email to the They Work for Us campaign list.
- You’ll get: key articles, dates, and clear asks – not spam.
- When we move, you’ll hear about it first.
2. Email Your MP About One Issue That Matters Most
MPs expect grumbling. What unsettles them is targeted, repeated contact on specific issues.
Pick one:
- rape/grooming gangs and institutional failure
- crime and public safety in your area
- tax and cost of living squeezing your family
Then:
- Use a short, direct template (no ranting essays).
- Tell them why this matters to you personally.
- Ask one clear question they have to answer.
You don’t need to write a masterpiece. You just need to stop being silent.
3. Share the Arguments, Not Just the Rage
Sharing memes is easy. Sharing arguments is harder – and more effective.
Pick one article or pillar page from England Then and Now:
- They Work for Us
- English Nationalism
- Rape/Grooming Gangs
- Crime in England
- Tax and Cost of Living
Then:
- Share it with a few lines in your own words.
- Send it to people who might listen, not just those who already agree.
- Invite them to tell you what they think.
You’re helping push this conversation out of our heads and into the open.
4. Talk to People in Real Life
We’ve had enough anonymous shouting. The only way anything serious moves is if real people in real places start talking and acting together.
Over the next week:
- Bring this up with one person you trust – family, friend, colleague.
- Ask them if they feel like the country still works for them.
- Show them the homepage or one pillar page and talk it through.
You don’t need to “convert” anyone on the spot. You just need to make it normal to say: “No, this isn’t acceptable.”
5. Be Ready for English Days of Action
The aim of this campaign is not endless commentary. It’s coordinated Days of English Action – peaceful, lawful 24‑hour refusal to carry on as if nothing is wrong.
That will only work if people prepare in advance.
- Think about whether you could book annual leave or shift swaps for a set day.
- If you run a small business, think about whether you’d close or take part visibly.
- If you’re retired or not working, think about how you’d show support – vigils, presence, online work.
When a date is set, there won’t be time to start from scratch. Preparation now is what makes action later possible.
6. Decide You’re Done Being Quiet
None of this is complicated. It just needs a decision.
- Join the list.
- Email your MP.
- Share one serious article.
- Talk to one person you trust.
- Think ahead to action days.
That is all I’m asking of you today.
Because if not now, when? If not you, who?
