Our Mission

To scrutinise the drift of national life, reclaim key traditions of freedom and self-governance, and articulate bold reforms grounded in history, principle and practical policy.

The Three Objectives

We are not socialists, conservatives, communists, nationalists, anarchists, accelerationists, or centrist dads. Nor do we have an ideology, a secular religion, a need for personal fame, or a pathological set of concerns.

When the building is on fire, you don't squabble over how the fire engines are built; who gets to hold the hose; how much the water costs; when the flames started; why fires exist; whether it would make a good social media photo; how you be publicly morally outraged about it; or the ideology of how to put it out. You put the damned fire out because the building is on fire.

The Restorationist™ exists because the structures that once held our societies together — family, faith, duty, service, craftsmanship, constitutional restraint, and a shared understanding of right and wrong — have been neglected or dismantled. We believe a civilisation cannot survive without roots. Renewal begins by returning to first principles and applying them with rigour to modern life.

We publish long-form analysis, history, policy blueprints, and cultural commentary for readers who want seriousness rather than slogans. Our work is grounded in three commitments:

1. Intellectual Honesty

We tell the truth as we see it, without fear or favour. We cite sources, explain our reasoning, and acknowledge complexity even when it is inconvenient.

2. Civic Repair

We argue for reforms which strengthen society rather than merely excite it. Our focus is on sustainable institutions: schools that teach truth; courts that deliver justice; governments which serve rather than rule; and a culture that rewards responsibility, courage, and restraint.

3. The Continuity of Tradition

We reject the false idea progress requires erasing the past. Instead, we draw on history, classical wisdom, and inherited constitutional norms to understand how good societies are built — and how they decline.

The Restorationist™ is not a political party, a pressure group, or a campaign. It is an independent publication dedicated to clear thinking, civil debate, and the revival of a healthier national life. We welcome readers who disagree with us, provided they argue in good faith and care about the common good.

We seek restoration — of truth, of meaning, of order, and of the institutions that make freedom possible.

What We Reject & Won't Tolerate

Political power in England is concentrated within the fireplace of Parliament and exercised by obtaining consensus through vigorous debate. Parliament expresses its will through legislation. That has been the only legitimate means of expressing political will in our ancient land for three hundred years, and should continue to be forevermore.

What we are not interested in, and never will be, under any circumstances:

  1. Cowardice, censoriousness, malicious gossiping, gatekeeping, or concern trolling.
  2. Maintaining the current pathological uniparty system or its supporting bodies, whether through acquiescence, compromise, or life support.
  3. Destructive political extremism, religious theocracy, antisemitic criminality, pseudoscientific alarmism, malicious NGOs, overactive pattern recognition, or catastrophic utopian ideologies.
  4. Suffering ego-driven competition or in-fighting among factions when our country is on fire.
  5. Vacuous political "movements" without clear objectives, understanding of political science, or Instagram/YouTube-influencers drama-trolling for personal notoriety.
