She was a bad choice, but it was the membership's this time. Jenrick would have been preferable, but now the Tory party is really stuck with her for the foreseeable.

She has no idea of priorities and debates like a gawky sixth-former. Unprepared, unimpressive, slightly unhinged in places.

Has she read (not on the BBC though) about the Birmingham Hospital that was raided by a local ethnic minority gang the other day? Does she really think these people are going to take up British values?

I despair.

I agree except for the Birmingham Hospital bit. From Full Fact: "An image has been widely shared on social media with claims it shows masked men entering a hospital in central Birmingham recently. But this image is not a real photo of a recent incident at a Birmingham hospital—it was created or modified using Google Artificial Intelligence (AI), and West Midlands Police say no “disorder” took place.

The picture shows multiple hooded and masked individuals, some of whom are carrying axes, in a doorway where some of the glass windows have been smashed. "

The trouble is Gregb that the manipulation of the truth through media lies has hobbled the truth. Who are Full Fact and are they truly independent, who funds them?

Deliberate inaction by the media to report stories of public interest have also undermined trust in the media. Example. When the police in Manchester finally assembled enough evidence to convict the latest Pakistani rape gang members, why weren't the BBC there, Sky, ITV or any of the MSM news channels there, that surely would have been aware of the painstaking assembled case, which resulted in all defendants being prosecuted? Why was only Charlie Peters there reporting for GB News on such a high profile case?

If you have full faith in what is shown to you, then good luck.

Sadly, I agree completely. However, there does seem to be enough information around to suggest that the photo shown was not from Birmingham hospital.

Nothing ever changes:

“The very hirelings of the press, whose trade it is to buoy up the spirits of the people, have uttered falsehoods so long, they have played off so many tricks,

that their budget seems, at last, to be quite empty.”

I would like that to be true. But I'm now at the stage where I don't believe the press at all because so much that is happening is not reported. And I read an account of this raid, rather than seeing any pictures. Gang warfare reports between various minorities are certainly being suppressed.

Diminishing the number of foreign born, deporting criminals, and reducing the presence and infuence of Islam are all highly desirable, but by the itme we got a government so minded, which looks like never given the current crop of mediocrities, the sheer scale of the problem could be insuperable.

It isn't going to happen. What may happen is civil unrest on such a scale as to amount to civil war, but it won't be the old fashioned kind of two opposing armies. It will be neighbour upon neighbour - Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims. Black Christians, Armenians, Turks, Somalis, Algerians..... - a war of all on all and shifting alliances as neighbourhoods are 'cleansed'. We will become the most balkanised country in the West and the poorest as the economy fails.

First Nation English, as we ought perhaps to be called, are already a minority in London and as the capital falls and becomes the seat of a caliphate....

Or will it be like Houellebecq's novel Soumission in which we end up with a muslim government by democratic means? That would be the route with the least killing enroute, but many might wish they were dead as they are forced to submit and watch their culture, traditions and historical legacies wiped out.

England and the English are dying out. The cancer of mass immigration is already metastasing. Palliative care is all we can hope for in our ending, that some mercy is shown to us in our final few years.

Our best chance would be to become a state of the US. There is neither the will nor the numbers now to save ourselves.

I agree but find it so depressing. I never thought I would want to become part of the US but these days I do. I don’t know what we can do to change things, or have the time to do it.

Thanks Pete,

It's funny how weak politicians try to garner favour by associating themselves with Strong moral leaders.

I am a fan boy of Katharine myself and her strength in facing down intolerable pressure from Muslim bullies is what we need more of in this Country, but I'm not the so called leader of a once major political party.

Birbalsingh's regime itself demonstrates the disastrous nature of multi-culti. Hindus object to beef, muslims object to pork and bacon, so all school meals are vegetarian. British culture counts for nothing. 50% of the pupils are muslim and the proportion is only going to increase, so this famous legal victory will only be temporary. Sooner or later, islam will take over completely.

Indeed. Birbalsingh is doomed. How in he'll did she get away with imposing vegetarian gascim on the kids. An over hyped school. Deport all immigrants because we have never given permission foe any of them to be here. They have unwittingly broken the law and our politicans have acted like traitors. They broke their policy promises to restrict immigration and did not do it.

Hard to disagree with much of what you say in your article but sometimes your, not unreasonable, anger at what is happening - indeed has happened - to Britain seems to colour your judgement. Ms Badenoch was not, in my opinion, simply lavishing praise - unwarranted as you would seem to suggest - on one of her 'Spectator dinner party circle' mates; she was using an actual example of someone who had the courage to stand up to the increasingly bold Muslim 'bully-boy' lobby and to then go on and win the argument. I don't know what there is to not like about this example of someone standing up for what they believe to be right and fair. Irrespective of one's views on Ms Badenoch as a politician or in her role as leader of the Conservative party I find it hard to criticise her for this statement.

People are, as you quite rightly state, squeamish about remigration being adopted as a policy by a government of any stripe and, as much as I too would like to undo what has taken place in Britain over the last 15-20 years, I can fully understand the reason for this reluctance. For a start there is the simply impracticality of the task. An airbus A380 can carry up to 853 passengers so let's, for the sake of argument, assume that 800 people could be transported on each and every remigration flight. Say further, for the sake of keeping things reasonably simple by using round figures, that it was decided to remigrate 1,000,000 people. That is 1,250 flights. Assuming it was possible to send two planes a day out of Heathrow it would take 1 year and 259 days to complete the task. It seems highly likely that those people who see remigration as an acceptable policy would seek to remove many more than just 1,000,000 people from the country. Anyone can do the maths.

Then there is the problem of just how any government could persuade the people to leave the country willingly in the first place. I am assuming, out of a basic humanitarian instinct, that no-one would be in favour of some sort of 'forced' repatriation scheme where famillies were rounded up and interned before being forced to board a plane against their will and in the full glare of the the world's media. So, some sort of financial enticement seems the most obvious course of action - how much would we all, the British taxpayers, be expected to pay the remigrants to leave? £10K each? More perhaps, or less. I just don't know and I cannot conceive of such a scheme ever really working to be honest. Most people I feel sure would not be persuaded to leave for less than £10K each so, for just 1,000,000 people, that is a cost to the taxpayer of £10Billion - and that's not taking into account the cost of the flights and the almost unavoidable payments to the countries concerned as some sort of sweetener. And, almost as an afterthought, exactly how does a goverment force other countries to accept the remigrants?

I don't pretend to have an answer to the huge problems which now confront the UK but, if you are serious about remigration being, to your way of thinking, the only feasible and reasonable course of action, I think it is incumbent upon you to lay out for us in a future article just exactly how such a policy could be enacted because I, for one, would be very interested in your thoughts on this highly contentious issue.

If everyone had to abide by the law many might remigrate voluntarily because their normal Islamic life would be impossible. For example, it is illegal to incite violence and preach racial hatred, it is illegal to use religious influence to influence voting. It is illegal to use violence in the family or any kind of coercion, to control family members clothing, activities, finances or friendships. etc. etc. These offences occur all the time but are ignored. Religion or culture or ignorance of the law should never be an excuse.

I have to say, I was pretty impressed by the Jordan Peterson short interview with Farage. Didn't think I would be.

Some of the ideas are years old, maybe longer than a decade or more old. But it's at least nice to see them getting an airing by people with larger audiences.

I suppose the only disappointment is that they weren't shouting this stuff years ago too, especially as they knew about them years ago (eg plant stomata and the fact that plants become more drought-resistant with higher CO2. Or that solar magnetic activity is probably far more important than CO2 for planetary climates.)

Worth a quick watch if you haven't seen it. I definitely agree with JBP that, apart from the immigration problem - and as you have also written about - getting to the cheapest possible energy is one of the most important targets we need to work on. Whether that's coal, gas, SMRs, whatever. Doesn't matter.

Here's a link to the interview (16 minutes long):

I'd trust her as far as I could throw her unattractive backside. She's another quisling supported by traitors at the Spectator and Telegraph, you know where the like minded used to go before the Greta TDS anti Farage element took over. Who kept mysteriously quiet about Labour gifts, CVs and lies in the election run up, purely, I imagine, because they were bored and wanted something new to write about.

You can't integrate very different cultures. How can a strict Muslim culture where women go out veiled, accompanied by male relatives, "integrate" with a culture where girls go out in bikinis? How can French red wine culture integrate with a teetotal culture? How can a democratic culture integrate with one that wants a caliphate?

Multi-ethnic you could just about get away with. There's been mixed race Britons since at least the Anglo Indians starting in the 17th century. But democracy and diversity are always going to be in tension.

On 6 May 2023 there was an event in Westminster Abbey which Wikipedia describes as a symbolic formality. All the same, certain things were said in the presence of a large audience, albeit ostentatiously read from a script held up by an acolyte.
