"Never send to know for whom the
bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
John Donne

The following is a statement issued by the UK Home Office, explaining why I wasn't welcome in the UK. Dated 15 May 2013. Full testimony linked below.

COH ID #19619096

To: NATHAN GARRETT PAYNE

You have asked for leave to enter the United Kingdom as a visitor for three months but I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor for the limited period as stated by you. This is because you have brought with you insufficient funds for your planned trip and do not have a ticket to return. I am not satisfied that this trip is commensurate with your socio-economic circumstances in in [sic] America; you have no property or assets and no employment to return to. I have taken into consideration that you have a sponsor in the United Kingdom but I am satisfied that reliance on this sponsor would mean your reliance on public funds; the requirements of the Rules [sic] for visitors specifically preclude persons from recourse to public funds. I have also taken into consideration your intention to perform, an activity not permissible within the Rules [sic] for visitors.

I therefore refuse you leave to enter the United Kingdom.

This statement is from the article "London Is Not Open," which includes my testimony to The Manifesto Club UK about my treatment at the hands of the globalist apparatchiks working at Heathrow airport. I regret the line that refers to the UK as a "pale, bloodless wonderland," but it was part of the original testimony, and it reflects the state of mind I was in at the time. Though I was only detained for 4 or 5 hours before being flown back to the US, the effect the criminal treatment had on me was such that I remember being viscerally relieved at the sight of fast food restaurants on re-arrival in the States. I mean, the cheap, disposable architecture of TACO BELL brought me visceral comfort. It was relaxing.

So, I wouldn't write it like that today, but, of course, I didn't write it today.

Who knows. Today it might be worse.

I am encouraged by the "Raise the Colours" movement spreading across the UK like an antidote to the suicidal faux-empathy that has plagued the West for decades. The point didn't fit in my last article, but the Korean TV segment from 2006 documents the final moments of any moral authority the Left may have had.

In hindsight, I'd say the mainstream liberalism of the Bush years was running on the vapors of the late 60s, at the most. George Bush and the invasion of Iraq are remedial targets. The worst player on the T-ball team can knock those wiffle balls out of the park in their sleep. The moral courage required to protest George Bush in the East Village in 2006 was completely non-existent.

To re-open the Tower of London as an historical staging ground for the Peasants' Revolt of 2025, however,

Will require fortitude that hasn't been seen among the peasants since before The Beatles were invented.

It hasn't been lost. There just hasn't been much use for it. Not until now.

In any case, if you're still clinging to the ridiculous notion that your moral cowardice-posing-as-superiority gives you the right to subject your own people (or anyone) to Sharia law and rape gangs, or that there is any moral high ground to be feigned in being a tool of the devil, false prophets of the globalist agenda, proclaiming one's own unassailable righteousness while roiling in pits of sanctimonious degeneracy,

Take heed.

The Bell Hotel, it tolls for thee.

You're finished.

So raise the colours, brothers and sisters. Make Britain friendly to American musicians again. After you have expelled or otherwise dealt with the Islamic invaders and their enablers, let's re-book the 2013 trip, and do it right this time. 

The Bell Musicians' Hotel in Epping would be a good place to start. We'll have a party. A banquet. A victory parade. A concert in the park. The tolling of the bell will become a celebration. A cry of freedom, and of victory.

I will be looking forward to it.

See you then.
