Nigel Farage did a press conference this morning in which he decided that he was once-again right wing. Here is the summary:
1. The Tories have betrayed everyone time and time again on immigration.
Correct. However, Reform's "net zero" policy isn't much better and Farage seems to think the Boriswave and the 200k illegals ought to stay as he has made no noise about them going home.
2. An excess of foreign labour suppresses domestic wages.
Obviously correct, and would suggest that, in fact, the millions the Tories betrayed us with ought to go home. Farage does not say this, however.
3. "Mind-blowing" numbers of migrants don't even work, costing us billions in benefits.
Yes, demonstrably, and one might think that remigrating them back to their countries of origin would be a good idea. Farage doesn't actually assert this, however.
There's a bizarre war going on in Britain between women and men in dresses who keep threatening to piss everywhere, and the institutions inexplicably support the men in dresses.
This is the rallying cry of the men in dresses.
The men in dresses are planning to stay hydrated for a synchronised pissing event. I'm not even joking.
Watching Alien Romulus now. Not impressed so far. It's boring, and the entire cast look like they just dropped out of a Californian university. Not a single adult among them. Completely unbelievable. Also the plot is so plodding I got distracted by my phone, 27 mins in.
They've just arrived at some abandoned space station with Romulus and Remus on the wall. Cast are acting like children and literally look like puppy-fat faced teenagers. One of them has a stupid chav British accent. Who cast this? Abominable. All of these people should be serving my coffee in Pret.
One genius just froze his fingers and now they're trapped in a cryo chamber, presumably with a face hugger on the loose. I'm actually looking forward to the alien killing them just to get their screen time down. This is like a bizarre crossover of a YA fiction and classic franchise.
I have been a supporter of Tommy Robinson for many years because not only was he right to have spoken up when he did, but because he was brave to do so.
When he asked me to speak at his freedom rallies, I accepted without question.
I'll explain why:
It may be hard to see or understand from the outside, but the political consensus in Britain is still very tightly controlled by the rules set by the Blairite Labour establishment. Tommy is rendered by them as a totemic evil because he dared expose the flaws of multiculturalism.
Never has a man been more pillaried by the British establishment for telling the truth. Moreover, there is a distinct air of class hatred that is poured down upon him; the political distinction between @DouglasKMurray and Tommy is their accents, which Murray is sensitive to.
James wants America to be a kind of Kantian idealist state where the normal rules of human society don't apply. This is a fiction; America is not a purely ideological construct. If it was, why assign it a geographic name? Why call it a nation? Americans would be from anywhere.
Ironically, James is guilty of doing that which he accuses others of: he is mystifying the issue. In attempting to extract a coherent line of logic from the half-baked proto-liberalism of the American founding, he is amplifying out of context and out of scale anything useful.
People are not only constructs of the mind. They are corporeal and temporal beings who, among other things, contain many layers of competing and contradictory beliefs, desires, irrationalities, unconscious biases and drives, and the capacity for rational thought.
