666 votes of Labour Party

According to Christian tradition, 666 is famously known as the Number of the Beast — a symbol of evil from the Book of Revelation (13:18) in the New Testament. For me, it’s more than just a biblical curiosity. It’s incredibly symbolic that a candidate from the Labour Party received this exact number of votes.

EVIL WITHIN SOCIALISM
If you’ve got even a hint of common sense, you already know — socialism is an ideology rooted in evil. It’s no coincidence that history’s most brutal mass murderers were socialists: Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro — just to name a few.

Behind the noble-sounding slogans and promises of equality, socialism conceals a predatory, bloodthirsty, and corrosive doctrine. It is an ideology that fears free speech, loathes transparency, and undermines democracy wherever it takes root. So why am I writing about this now?

LABOUR HIDES, LABOUR LIES, LABOUR… DIES.
Shirebrook’s local Labour Party is cloaked in scandal, secrecy, and shady backroom deals. One by one, their key figures have jumped ship — Peake, Kane, Fritchley. Those who remain are often so old and disengaged that their only contribution is raising a hand when the party line demands it. The few councillors who dared to challenge the rot were intimidated, threatened, even attacked.

After two years as a Shirebrook Town Councillor, I can say this without hesitation: the so-called Labour elite are not misguided — they are malicious. They are evil. The red rose they so proudly flaunt in their logo isn’t a symbol of hope or renewal. It’s a symbol of violence. Of harm. Of blood.

666 VOTES – THE DEVIL’S IN THE DETAIL
I won’t waste your time breaking down the full election results — you already know the outcome. We know who came first. We know who didn’t. But what’s often missed is the story hidden in the numbers. And this one’s worth a closer look. Let’s start by going back to the 2021 elections and examining how the votes were distributed back then.

2021 COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTIONS
For me, 2021 was a turning point. A bittersweet, almost magical year — I lost the County Council election, but I was elected to the Town Council, and that’s when my journey into the dark heart of Labour’s local corruption truly began.

Back then, Labour was still seen by many as the “party of the people,” and they won the County seat comfortably. Even so, my result was the best opposition performance in decades. It turned a few heads. Still, I was treated more like a political curiosity than a sign of changing winds.

Result – Shirebrook & Pleasley, 2021

• Labour: 1,303
• Conservative: 770
• Liberal Democrat: 155
• Trade Unionist & Socialist Coalition: 98
  
• Total votes: 2,326

What more can I say? Once again, the town fell for Labour’s lies. But my presence and achievements on the Town Council opened a lot of eyes. I don’t say this to brag — but to this day, I believe I was the pebble that started the avalanche. The avalanche that crushed Labour in 2025.

THE ROSE IS ROTTING, THE WALL IS CRUMBLING
And 2025 is just the beginning. Because now, people who used to stay home during local elections are realising that Labour’s monopoly is over. They’ve lost more than votes — they’ve lost the trust of their core voting bloc. And that trust will only crumble further under Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership. If you think he’s bad now, just wait until the real impact of their latest budget and tax rises hits home. It’s going to be huge.

2025 COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTIONS
This time, I chose to sit it out. Since losing my seat on the Shirebrook Town Council, I’d been focused on writing my book and took a step back from day-to-day politics. The more I learned about the workings of the County Council, the more I realised — it’s not for me. It’s too distant, too slow, and far removed from the real issues affecting Shirebrook. I want to work at the grassroots — in town, not miles away in Matlock.

That’s why I’ve chosen to continue my work from the sidelines, through the S247 website. I’m slowly returning to local affairs, not as a politician, but as an independent commentator, observer, and activist.

My main goal? Transparency and finishing what I started: the investigation into pellet usage at the Leisure Centre. And I’m not just talking — I put my money where my mouth is. I offered to pay the Council myself to locate and release the missing documents regarding pellet deliveries. What did I get in return? According to the Town Clerk, the STC, which employs more staff than any other council in the region, can’t spare a single worker to look for the documents. Even if I paid for their overtime.

The Town Clerk refused, and Labour went with it gladly. No one challenged her claims about cost and lack of “workforce.” The problem is- it’s not her decision. It’s a political decision of the majority in STC. She declined not just on her behalf but on behalf of all 27 STC employees—without asking a single one of them. Only a fool would believe that excuse. The truth? The Town Clerk is actively obstructing the investigation into irregularities at the Leisure Centre. And she’s doing it with the full support of the Labour Party. They are HIDING SOMETHING. Question remains- what?

AUDIT IS… BLACKLISTED?
I also contacted Bolsover District Council to request a formal audit. A few weeks later, I found out that “certain” residents of Shirebrook had been blacklisted by BDC — not just by Labour politicians, but by members of the BDC civil service itself. Maybe that’s why I never received a reply to my audit request? Screenshot to prove my claim:


AUDIT OR…BUST!
I won’t stop—not until the Leisure Centre gets a proper audit and this town gets the cheap, effective heating system it deserves, not a greenwashed money-laundering scheme dressed up as an eco-project by the Labour Party.

2025 – YEAR OF HOPE
Sadly, this election was for the County Council, not the Shirebrook Town Council, so most candidates steered clear of the STC corruption issue. It’s become a toxic subject, and they didn’t want to touch it. It’s also not in the scope of their “jurisdiction”. So, I don’t hold it against them. I understand- it’s my fight. County Council is more than just Shirebrook’s internal problems, so when the election came, I wasn’t surprised that no one mentioned corruption in the Leisure Centre.

Right up until the last moment, I was worried about the result. Another four years of Labour on the County Council would have been four more years lost. But — for the second time in recent history — Shirebrook voters chose to back someone new.

Result – Shirebrook & Pleasley, 2025

• Reform UK: 1,733
• Labour: 666
• Conservative: 239
• Independent: 117
• Green Party: 94
• Liberal Democrat: 71
• Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition: 59
  
• Total votes: 2,740

As you can see, participation grew significantly on both sides: more candidates, more voters. And that is fantastic news. Shirebrook is waking up. Finally. It took time, patience, and a lot of effort — but it’s happening. This is it. 2025 is the Year of Hope.

Now, let me analyse each main party’s result in one to three sentences.

LABOUR IS CRUMBLING
It’s the beginning of the end — not just nationally, but here in Shirebrook too. Their key “players” are fleeing the sinking ship. Those who stayed behind will face the judgment of the voters in the next elections.

THE TORIES: FADED INTO “BROAD CHURCH” OF WOKERY AND DIVERSITY HIRING
The Conservatives shifted hard left so long ago that traditional right-wing voters like me barely recognise the party anymore. They’re woke, obsessed with tokenism, and have driven out right-wing voices in favour of careerist diversity hires. They’ll be punished by the electorate — and they deserve it.

LIB DEMS – YELLOW LABOUR IN DISGUISE
Those who didn’t protest-vote Labour by backing Reform likely parked their votes with the Lib Dems. I call them Yellow Labour. They claim to be liberal and democratic, but they’re neither. Still, they’ll benefit from the collapse of the two main parties in next election.

GREEN PARTY – GREEN IN COLOUR, RED IN AGENDA
I call them Green Labour. Read their literature, read their manifesto — they’re more socialist than the actual socialists. And on top of that, they’re eco-zealots who think they can save the planet by destroying the UK.

THE SOCIALIST FRINGE
If you vote for anything with “socialist” in the name, you’re a political lunatic with no grasp of consequences. The far-left fringe will keep siphoning votes from today’s purple (and even blue) Labour — but thankfully, not too many.

REFORM: A CHANCE TO PROVE THEMSELVES
The new kid on the block. From zero to hero. A lot of people — myself included — are hoping Reform can take the fight to the uni-party cartel and the civil service class. It won’t be easy. It won’t be pretty. But it is absolutely necessary.

THE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE
It’s a shame this candidate never responded to my interview request. That said, over 100 votes with no visible campaign is a strong result. I wish I could say more — but I simply don’t know who they are.

THE BEAST IS WOUNDED — NOW FINISH THE JOB
The vote number 666 wasn’t just a coincidence. It was a symbol, a sign from above — a warning. You get what you vote for. So VOTE for those who do more than just rise hand when party line demands it.

Labour is wounded. The old parties are crumbling. And for the first time in decades, Shirebrook has a real chance to break free. Let’s not waste it. Stay awake. Stay loud. And finish the job in 2027.
