  1. Britain really does seem to be the last country in Europe that's still clinging to the "diversity is our strength" mantra.

  2. He "loves our culture"? Well that makes him much more pro-British than Labour.
    495
  3. I'm more worried about the Jihad that is gathering pace here in Britain.
    199
  4. I really admire Hitchins for being willing to stand consistently for things that are unfashionable but true. I've been in that position he describes of being the lone voice in a room full of people saying things you don't agree with, and it takes courage to be the single voice of dissent.

  5. "I'm so edgy and rebellious: but only in officially approved ways that don't ever put me on the wrong side of the people with power" - Frankie Boyle.
    50
  6. Ended up in Swiss banks and the profits of arms-makers.
    33
  7. Murray put his finger on it when he said that the numbers who want to come are effectively infinite: and the more we take the more will come. I don't want Europe to turn into Africa - and the elites clearly do want that.
    32
  8. Except the British - we just voted for an even larger dose of immigration and woke ideology.
    29
  9. Among many, many others.
    25
  10. How come these people who claim to be "concerned about the suffering in Gaza" - never have the slightest concern for the suffering of half a dozen other wars going on right now? Why do they only come out of the woodwork for this particular conflict? Is there something about Israel that particularly bothers them?
    21
  11.  @Benboy1980  For some reason, sections of the right have decided Julie Bindel is "one of us" - despite her spending her entire life hating everything we've ever believed in.
    18
  12. The population if Europe know that - but our "liberal" politicians, media and NGOs simply refuse to acknowledge it.
    16
  13. A great many of us predicted how this would turn out - it wasn't hard for anyone who wasn't drunk on wokium.
    11
  14. TBF - she was making a lot of really silly points, "You just wrote what was in your head". Yeah Julie - that's what authors do. 🙄
    9
  15.  @insoserious  "Unless your argument is that “some kinds of people” are intrinsically more lawless" The evidence does suggest that yes.
    8
  16.  @thunderbug8640  "Labour have stated they will reduce net migration" If you believe that - I have some magic beans to sell you.
    7
  17. We need to basically dismantle everything New Labour put in place between 1997 and 2010. The 2010 equalities act in particular has handed the left control of the entire public sector.
    7
  18. Oh she definitely does - I remember hearing her on Woman's Hour in the late 80s and she hated us then. She's only complaining now because the ideology she promoted her whole life has turned on her.
    7
  19.  @Arminius420  "I mean they don't ban women" Exactly - they're not allowed to. So if we have gender equality then. . . . . .
    6
  20. Those girls will vote Labour or Green. Guarantee it.
    6
  21. And she is unburdened by what has been. . . . . . .
    6
  22. Shhhhhhhhhhhh! That doesn't fit the narrative!
    5
  23. As of last night - it's officially too late.
    5
  24. "You can be a real man or you can be a human being" Wow - it's so hard to know why people associate feminism with hatred of men. 🙄
    5
  25. Exactly - "Clout chasing"
    5
  26. Murray is the only one talking about the real issue in all of this - the massive influx of entirely destructive and negative cultures into this country.
    5
  27. And as usual - he'll be ignored.
    4
  28.  @Hoxton2BedFlat  How else should you talk about a "man" who spends his life trying to appease a movement who utterly despise him?
    4
  29. You can thank feminism for that - it was the original woke movement that created all this insanity in the first place.
    4
  30. It makes me laugh so hard when boomer feminists realize the ideology they've been pushing for their whole lives is now turning on them
    4
  31. Literally everyone involved is this is trash.
    4
  32. Andrew Neil has always struck me as a man who really wants to be an establishment insider - and is deeply uncomfortable any time he finds himself on the outside. The media spent 4 years "investigating" Brand: and did everything in their power to cover up the grooming gangs.
    4
  33. It proves he's never read even a single history book if he thinks no British soldier ever did anything ugly.
    3
  34. Iraq should have been a warning to us that Islam and democracy do not really mix.
    3
  35. 9:30 - The second someone gives you an ultimatum like - "I will control what you watch or I leave", the only correct response should be "Bye bye". You never give into that kind of controlling and manipulative behaviour. Or you turn into. . . . . . .this guy.
    3
  36. I was genuinely surprised how badly Bindel did given what a complete muppet this guy is. Accusing him of "just writing what's in his head" was risible - that's literally what authors do.
    3
  37.  @lisac1619  "Good men should want to protect women" Well - are the sexes equal or not?
    3
  38.  @zeldagoblin  "Who is this "you"?" Boomer feminists such as the two women in this video.
    3
  39. Islam disagrees - war against non-believers is one of the five "pillars" of the religion.
    3
  40.  @msimons7440  How's our birth-rate looking these days? "Catastrophic" is the answer.
    3
  41. Standard tactic of the woke - deliberately misunderstand what you said, and then demand an apology.
    3
  42. Yes talking about "white supremacy" in a society that hates whites and patriarchy in a society that hates men is just so level headed. 🙄
    3
  43. "Why are we suddenly taking the prohibition route, as if that ever solved anything" Welcome fellow gun rights activist!
    3
  44.  @michaelcoward1902  The polls are pretty consistent across Europe that most people don't want any more "diversity", And the politicians just keep forcing more and more of it onto us regardless.
    2
  45. I tend to think the term "misogyny" is over used. But watching that thuggish horde of vicious, entitled men trying to beat-up, scream down and preferably kill a woman for daring to speak: it's hard to call it anything other than misogyny.
    2
  46. I suspect he sounds just as low-T in his own language.
    2
  47.  @lizadeeza  Interesting - when exactly were you appointed supreme arbiter of what counts as "sufficient research to be allowed to write"? But yeah I guess you're right - "Romeo and Juliet" is clearly worthless because Shakespeare didn't visit Verona to do the kind of "extensive research" you do for your blog. 🙄 Oh BTW - go learn the difference between research and confirmation bias.
    2
  48.  @deannemcgovern4940  "Because it's a woman only safe space" Which I'm fine with - if there are also male only spaces. But feminists got those banned. . . . . . . .
    2
  49. She pushed this hideous rad-fem doctrine her whole life - she laid the groundwork for all of this lunacy. She doesn't get to whine now that the monster she created has decided to bite her.
    2
  50. - "Your sexuality is fixed from birth" - "Paedophilia is culturally determined" It seems to me that one of these cultural assumptions must be wrong. . . . . . .
    2
  51. I'll never stop laughing at Boomer feminists who are experiencing the consequences of the triumph of their own ideology.
    2
  52. Sorry Julie - but you really only have yourself and your fellow feminists to blame. You spent the last 60 years pushing "gender is a social construct" and all the other ideologies that have found their "logical" conclusion in this current weirdness.
    2
  53.  @spurge83  Well said - it amazes me the lack of self-awareness from boomer feminists about this.
    2
  54.  @helenablavatsky9136  She was very clearly arguing that all heterosexuality was inherently coercive and abusive: it's extremely disingenuous to try to claim she was saying anything else.
    2
  55. If she wishes to start a company that excludes men - then she must concede the right of men to start companies that exclude women.
    2
  56.  @JayJamsSpams  What's your definition then? Black square in the twitter profile in 2020? Ukraine flag in the bio in 2021? Trans flag in the bio in 2022? Palestine flag in the bio in 2023?
    1
  57.  @DJWESG1  In this case the "other reason" is that most people are cattle who repeat whatever the media tell them to.
    1
  58. I would dispute "intellectual" - he's slimy and weaselly like all playground bullies, but clearly no kind of thinker.
    1
  59. Calling the natural desire of boys for agency, aspiration and fulfilment - "entitlement": is just one of the reasons I despise feminism.
    1
  60. He's like so many liberals - an overgrown child who lives in a fairyland.
    1
  61. There's nothing wrong with older people wanting to feel young again for a bit - but it's a problem when they start basing their political judgements around the same kind of youthful naiveite.
    1
  62. You mean he makes arguments you can't refute? And that annoys you?
    1
  63. Ironic isn't it? Two feminists complaining about the consequences of their own ideological demands.
    1
  64. How come a "conservative" magazine is giving a regular platform to an angry old boomer far-leftists who hate everything conservatism stands for? People like Bindel and Jensen destroyed western civilisation. They destroyed the nuclear family, they destroyed both men's and women's happiness, they destroyed community, they destroyed gender roles, they debased and destroyed education, culture and art: and worst of all they destroyed countless millions of babies and with them the possibility of our civilisation having a future.
    1
  65. This is something about Islam that Israel understands, and the west is wilfully blind to - Muslims have no concept of treating others as equals.
    1
  66.  @johnadam2885  "The Muslims have more fighting spirit than the Christians" Well - Muslims certainly love war in a way Christians don't. That's why Islam is synonymous with violence and intolerance all over the world.
    1
  67. Exactly. Feminism is a part of a suicidal impulse that has taken over western civilisation.
    1
  68. The left don't believe in good and evil - they believe only in power.
    1
  69. Trump has been proved right about almost everything, which is probably why the current regime in Washington is so desperate to lock him up.
    1
  70. "I find it difficult to comprehend current trans ideology" Well - ask Bindel, it was people like her who pushed the "gender is a social construct" nonsense. The trans thing is just a logical extension of that, and I think it's hilarious that Bindel is getting hoist by her own ideology.
    1
  71.  @avii.8075  "they just separated the brain from the rest of the body" Which is pure nonsense since both are inextricably linked and each affects the other. "So women, as human females, is not a social construct. Women behaving and living a certain way largely is." Also nonsense. Woman and men have distinct gender roles in every human society. And those roles always broadly correspond with gender stereotypes. If this were socially determined it would vary hugely across time and space - but it doesn't.
    1
  72.  @avii.8075  "It does vary hugely across cultures and times" No it doesn't. There is no culture in all of history that sent the women out to hunt and fight, while the men provided childcare and tended the hearth. And when you think about it, any culture that tried that wouldn't have lasted long. The problem with this issue since the 1960s is that people confused what they wanted the past to have been like, with what it actually was.
    1
  73.  @avii.8075  No, there aren't. Feminist "academics" (propagandists) have been relentlessly torturing the evidence to manufacture support for their ideology for a century now, (starting with Margaret Mead) - and it all falls apart under even the slightest scrutiny. Like all Marxist-derived ideologies, it fails the "does it work in the real-world" test.
    1
  74.  @avii.8075  No - there aren't. This is propaganda put out by feminist academics who have been deliberately "massaging" scant evidence for a 100 years to try to make reality conform to their ideology.
    1
  75.  @avii.8075  That is plainly and simply not true. Activist "academics" have been pushing outright false or dishonestly represented information for decades to try to make history fit their agenda.
    1
  76. Like pubic crabs?
    1
  77.  @nathangamble125  No one's buying the propaganda anymore kid - not when they can see the doleful effects right in front of their own eyes.
    1
  78.  @nooshoff  I don't think" it - I *remember when it was far more homogenous than it is now: and just about everything was better.
    1
  79. It was feminists like Bindel who spent their whole lives pushing the "gender is a social construct" nonsense - which led directly to all this insanity. Now they're whining that the same tactics and ideology is being used against them: and I have zero sympathy.
    1
  80. Why is the Spectator promoting a pair of radical woke leftist activists? Don't such people get enough airtime in the rest of the media?
    1
  81. Nothing says "edgy, dissident counter-culture" quite like censoring anyone who won't repeat the ideology pushed by every government-body and large corporation in the western world.
    1
  82. It's a bit awkward for western wokies to admit they're shilling for a bunch of religious extremists - so they just fudge the issue.
    1
  83. Why? She's a radical feminist - she created and imposed the woke ideology that she's now complaining about.
    1
  84. Yes it's so amazing to get profound insights like - "Hollywood is not real life". I don't know where we'd be without such a titan-intellect.
    1
  85. Feminism's core message is - "I want the power of a man, the privilege of a woman, and the accountability of a toddler"
    1
  86.  @boing615  A "coup" where no one brought a single weapon and the police led people inside.
    1
  87.  @msimons7440  The basis of feminism is Marxism - go look it up.
    1
  88.  @kevoreilly6557  And feminism started in the 18th century. Anything else?
    1
  89. Or what the global elites were doing on Epstein island for decades (while the media and law enforcement turned a blind eye).
    1
  90.  @MultiLlewis  "why are you not standing alongside her" Because feminists like these two created the entire woke culture that they are now complaining about. They forced it on the rest of society and did vast, probably irreparable damage to our civilisation - and are now complaining about being savaged by the monster THEY created, nurtured, and loosed on the world. Why should I stand with people who utterly despise me and everything I believe in?
    1
  91. I always shake my head when old boomer feminists complain about the entirely predictable and inevitable consequences of the ideology they spent their whole live pushing for. You wanted to get rid of the old morality - and you succeeded. Enjoy the results.
    1
  92. Europe is still dealing with the consequences of Merkel's insane policy of throwing open the immigration door to the south. It's pathetic how they won't admit Trump was right about more or less everything. Open borders, energy, Russia, foreign war, re-shoring industry, wokeness, censorship, NATO, China, etc etc.
    1
  93. "porn is increasingly gay and Trans" And as Project Veritas just proved, the world's most famous pron site is aggressively pushing gay and trans themes onto people they know are underage.
    1
  94. Thing is feminists want men who will be simpering and submissive and never stand up for themselves. And so they put up with men who are obviously a bit creepy as long as they bow and scrape.
    1
  95. Do something about immigration, wokeness and cultural decline - or stop calling yourselves conservatives.
    1
  96. Exactly as feminists like Bindel wanted and spent their entire lives campaigning for.
    1
  97. The elites want Europe to be less white. They're not stopping this because they don't want to stop it. I can see no other plausible explanation at this point.
    1
  98. indeed - a lot of people seem to have forgotten that these are the same boomer feminists who imposed woke ideology on us in the first place. Now they're complaining that it's gone 1% further than they're comfortable with after treating the rest of us abominably for decades.
    1
  99.  @NoRockinMansLand  Thanks for admitting you can't address any of the point put to you.
    1
  100. There's an amazing article from way back called - "Feminists don’t challenge radical Islam because real misogynists are terrifying" which makes exactly this point. It's a lot easier and safer and more comfortable to endlessly bully tame, passive, meek western men.
    1
  101. Feminism has crashed our birth rates, sent suicide rates through the roof, got half of women clinically depressed, and made our prison population multiples of what it was two generations ago. "Failure" would be too kind a word. "Catastrophic" would be more like it.
    1
  102. I have no time at all for Bindel - unlike the Spectator, I understand that she bitterly hates everything conservatives stand for. And I'm old enough to remember people like her spent her life pushing the woke movement she's now complaining about.
    1
  103. It's the same in Britain, most of the ethnic minorities are heavily over-represented in unemployment, welfare claimants and crime. And yet our elites just keep bleating "but we need workers!"
    1
  104. Judging by Starmer's continuous enflaming of the situation in recent days - I suspect he wants more of this disorder so he can use it to justify a massive crackdown on free speech.
    1
  105. It's always like this with feminists - they're convinced that the world is a way that it simply isn't.
    1
  106.  @magicunclefergaloreilly6699  So we make it illegal, and it goes away? Like with drugs?
    1
  107. The "clock" has turned out to be right about more or less anything. Leftists are just so blinded by tribalism they can't admit he was right even when everyone else has had to admit it.
    1
  108.  @wingnut71  She's right - "Midwife" means "With woman" in old English. Ask any midwife if you don't believe it. Don't mock people who know more than you.
    1
  109.  @wingnut71  Yes - sorry. Wrong person.
    1
  110. The whole point of feminism was to destroy western civilisation - it never had much to do with women except in wanting to turn them against men, children, family and their own society.
    1
  111.  @paperclip612  One has to be careful how one phrases things on Youtube.
    1
  112. Britain makes them so incredibly comfortable despite the fact they openly despise us.
    1
  113.  @winterbird4447  "She" - is self evidently a nothing, a feather weight, a joke. We should however take very seriously globalist deep-state machine that controls her.
