  1. The evidence proves Boris is a coward, he finds it impossible to sack anyone. He doesn't do face to face confrontation.

  2. Just showing my white skin is me being provocative. This country is done. The idiots have won.

  3. Full respect for Mr Thorpe's effort. But Britain isn't like a football club that can be supported by all races and religions. The things that made this country great is the outcome of the personality and attitude of ethno Brits. When you start integrating middle Eastern ethnicities and cultural attitudes you start to sabotage the thing you are trying to protect. This means society has to have a dominant ethnicity and culture that immigrants, limited in number, can and will have to buy into. Which is exactly the opposite of the kind of divided society Socialists pursue. A country, any country, cannot be all things to all men. That's why visiting France or Japan should be a different cultural experience. If all countries are just a mish mash of different communities, something very precious is gone. And it's funny how many advocates of ethnic soup have cottages in rural Tuscany or France, the exact places that have a specific beauty and cultural identity of their own.

  4. Trump loved England more than white Middle class Liberals love England. Those people are empty headed. You can be the most personally immoral person in the world, but if you say a couple of things about BLM or global warming you're automatically "one of us". They are a shallow and narcissistic cult. Little wonder they attract individuals like Madonna or Meghan Markle.

  5. It could have been worse, it could have been lopsided mouthed Jonathan King, intoning his one hit "Everybody's Going to the Moon" or, in his case, jail.

  6. These people are driven by a fanaticism that ordinary people don't share. They'll use any ploy to leverage their demands. There is no compassion just an insatiable appetite for 'progress'. Even driving a car off the edge of a cliff is a kind of progress. But not one with a positive outcome.

  7. The Left hates religion. Truthfully they hate anything that breaks the link between the state and the individual. That's why they work against the family, marriage etc.

  8. Cummings made a complete hash of the fight against Covid. He wanted more lockdowns etc. He uses focus groups to tell him which socks to wear. He's 'data driven' but clearly had no feel for the warp and weft of the general public. I think he believed his own hype. Hubris.

  9. No. Its not acceptable. And we need to realise the word 'racist' is used as a way of making us shut up. We have to ignore it and put a mark down. The Conservative Party, or any political party, does not own this country and allow us to live here. WE OWN THIS COUNTRY, it is ours, we say what happens, not them. THE TIME IS COMING for our battle to save the country. We must organise and defend what is ours, the things our ancestors fought for. IT HAS TO BE DONE.

  10. Cumming failed. He had a lot of popular support but his arrogance and incompetence were his undoing. He blew it. He's gone before the BBC, he's gone before the civil service was cleaned out. That's a fail by any metric. Very disappointing, I think we all believed in his abilities.

  11. Because people in power are so influenced by the US, when the Conservatives start reasserting control in the states there will be a knock on effect in the UK. The UK wokeists will be starved of oxygen from their American counterparts and will start to fall away. Even now you can see the exodus from the BBC, Maitlis, Sopel, Marr, all scurrying away to a place of refuge, LBC, but no one is interested. All the time they had control of a state funded organ they could carry on, once they're expected to deliver ratings they'll disappear. No one, except for a few metropolitan virtue signallers, is interested in their garbage.

  12. After 32 minutes of discussion I'm still not sure whether the author thinks conservatism is on its way back. The question is will there be a post progressive society. One that rediscovers traditional value.

  13. This is what happens when the legalise pot/free love/60s student activist generation became leaders. I don't think it's darkly sinister, just very misguided and typical of the baby boomer generation. And now after having the best of everything they want to shut it all down to protect the world. Selfish more than sinister.

  14. Let's have all Conservatives speaking with an RP accent. That's a great way to divide the classes. Do you not see that if we want to embed conservative views among 'working class' voters, speaking with a cut-glass accent will be counter productive? We need to separate conservative thought from social hierarchy, otherwise you have a barrier to the acceptance of a conservative outlook.

  15. Strider9655 I'd say it's a bad interview tactic to express salty opinions in regard to an engineering job. A little bit of self restraint till you've got the job would be a better idea. And even after that, if you want to influence people to your way of thinking the old phrase 'Softly softly catchee monkey' is a good way to go. A bit of nuance rather than a sledgehammer.

  20. If playing down Englishness was meant to hold the UK together it has failed. We need to start looking after ourselves first. Levelling down is a not a good idea, it's a kind of self harm.

  21. English Teacher When tv sketches and panel shows are making jokes about woke-ists that will be a good sign. But if you ever have the misfortune to listen to BBC radio comedy shows they are full on anti British, anti Brexit, anti working class, pro EU, pro migrant commintern shitshows.

  22. This is a great idea. Expect plenty of pushback from the hate mob.

  23. It will be a battle to overthrow the Globalist order. Elon Musk has already made a start. Revealing the cabal behind Soros funded 'Media Matters' was a good start.

  25. Charlie Morrissey That's a situation where minority interests are not prioritised over the mainstream. Minority views are ok in the sense that they can spark discussion but allowed too much importance they can/will disrupt the peaceful order of society. The phrase is " the tail shouldn't wag the dog."

  27. The EU's master plan is to create a country called Europe. To do that you must remove the icons and symbols that represent a nation's identity. That's why Remainers support entities like BLM, they have similar agendas. When the majority eventually win, the extremists will need to be removed from positions of influence. We've been too fair minded in the past and assumed good intentions from people and organisations with a subversive outlook.

  28. Do ya think that in the light of this, that maybe, just maybe, women should rethink their 'rights' to have access to all men's spaces and sports? And maybe men should get a fair share in the divorce courts? Men being allowed to see their kids one Sunday per month, does that seem reasonable now we're talking about 'fairness'?

  30. I think at all levels of society we've lost our way. That said, there is nothing new under the sun, and we've always found a way to course correct. I'm genuinely surprised how easily our great institutions have been surrendered to Leftist ideologues. There will need to be a serious clear out at some stage in the (nearish) future.

  32. The BBC doesn't want to change and it doesn't want to reflect the views of the people that fund it. In such circumstances the only solution is for the BBC to self fund. Any business that ignores the wishes of it's customers, fails. There is no justification for the BBC's existence as things stand. It's a multi million pound organisation making programmes for a tiny audience. That is unsustainable and unfair.

  33. Sayit AsItIs With the rise of national populism worldwide I'm hoping that we're moving away from the liberal consensus. It's heartening to see the likes of Rudd, Morgan, Stewart etc walking away from the Conservative Party. That suggests the political tide has turned and that hopefully that party is rediscovering its sense of national pride and purpose. If not a new political force a bit further to the right. But I like Nigel, Tice, and s few others and I saw Michelle Dewberry talking about joining, so maybe there's something there. We'll have to see, but the direction of travel is heartening, there are a lot of problems to sort out.

  34. One of the big takeaways here, is that the Establishment has outlived it's usefulness. It used to safeguard this country's history and culture. It now has no useful purpose and no belief in what this country stands for. The good news is that the working class still have a very clear idea of Britain's place in the world and of our great history. In this regard I think it's time for a national renewal. In the same way Trump demonstrated the uselessness of the Republican party, we need to outplace the current executive at all levels and 'find ourselves' again. A sort of metaphorical gap year and then a national reboot.

  35. Spot on Rob. When it's ordinary men being replaced by women, hey, that's feminist emancipation. All good. But now it's a group higher on the victim ladder claiming access to their spaces, they don't like it. No concerns when they were replacing men and claiming men's stuff.

  36. Of course it's true. Why do you think that in a supposedly politically 'neutral' current affairs programme like Newsnight, all the key people are recruited from the Guardian or the Independent. Paul Mason , for God's sake, used to be the financial editor. He'll definitely give a balanced view on things. Balanced somewhere between Lenin and Stalin. Trotsky would be too right wing for his outlook. Paxman was the only presenter/journalist you could say was possibly not left wing. And that Guardianista mindset runs through all the BBC news programming. In fairness, in the run up to elections, by law, the BBC was fairly even handed. But past that it's a continuous stream of woke propaganda. Which is, by definition, anti patriotic and globalist in outlook.

  37. SJ Borg But it seems he's coming back with a right wing news channel financed by Murdock. Andrew Neil should have the last laugh because I think very few people buy into the news agenda pushed by the BBC, C4 and SKY.

  38. To misquote Fukayma, it's not the end of History, it's the end of Global Liberalism - which turned out to be more authoritarian than Socialism.

  39. @Phil I don't disagree with that. I think TM was talking about a kind of civic Conservatism for the future. A Party that has moral standards and doesn't see the society purely in terms of financial transactions. Where government doesn't bow down to multi national corporations and people are responsible for their own actions. I think the absolute failure to conserve the things of value and change society for the better in the last 12 years shows how badly we need a new kind of Conservative thinking.

  40.  @joannastanden5816  That's a strange point. Being 50% white, you are part of our culture. But then you are also part of another culture, only you know where you're real allegiance lies. If the following offends, too bad, some things need saying these days... but I do not accept that an Albanian coming over here in a dinghy will ever feel British, or more specifically, English. If I moved to Scotland I would not feel 'at home', I could pretend, wear some tartan, but I'm not tied to that land spiritually in the way a native Scotsman is. It's a deep feeling of belonging, probably the kind of feeling that makes young men risk their lives to fight in wars to protect their homeland. I feel like that about England, but I can't feel like that about Scotland. Scotland is not 'home'. This idea that anyone can be from anywhere, and anywhere is home, is a gimmick designed by Internationalists who see the whole world as a customer base. But look back through history and you will see people of any and all cultures fight to protect the place they call home. English people don't have anywhere else to go, so at some point they will have to say we need to protect our land.

  41.  @turquoiseowl  I know, it would be a kind of defeat. But it also begs the question where does a country's history lie? In inanimate objects or in the hearts of patriots? If it's the latter then wherever those men settle becomes a part of England. A part with no Diane Abbot, Jeremy Corbyn or Shami Chakrabati. Starting to sound attractive, already.

  42. In the 20s and 30s Eugenics were a fashionable idea to the chattering classes, once Hitler got behind it even the BBC concluded it was dangerous thinking. This is a modern day example of the same kind of trendy groupthink which will have horrible consequences. In fact it's the kind of thing a future BBC would make a documentary about and say "what were people thinking?" The irony that the BBC is right at the centre of it, will be conveniently forgotten. Because the Beeb is NEVER accountable.

  43. That's because Conservatives support free speech and allow Communists to spout anti Democratic opinions. The Left, however, vilify anything they don't agree with and try to ban it. The irony is they think their doctrine is mainstream opinion.

  44.  @TanyaJackson-no2rs  I don't know how old you are, but for a long time, every winter, we've had seasonal flu that would kill a percentage of the elderly and the vulnerable. And every year we were told that the NHS would be in crisis. Very weird in the 2 years of lockdown there was no seasonal flu but plenty of Covid, despite the exact same means of transmission. And you may have noticed, I said in the Summer, mid June, not a time of the year known for a winter season virus.

  45. Nicholas Kellingley That's a very unfocused diatribe. There was never a time when the British people roamed the country pronouncing their freedom to all and sundry. The ordinary man has been under the thumb of wealth and patronage for hundreds of years. You could mention life in the poor house, child chimney sweeps and back breaking long hours in the fields just to survive. All this self congratulatory BS Dan Hannon talks about applied mainly to a few privileged people. But through it all the long suffering Brit has doffed his cap to his betters and gone and fought wars to protect a country that didn't much care for him. And the same is true with Covid, the British people, reasonable to a fault, have reluctantly accepted the restrictions because they care about 'doing the right thing'. That doesn't make them pussies as you allege, just reasonable. However, the government know we have finite patience and good will is wearing thin. As with Brexit, when the public decides on something it usually gets done. That's why the monarchy and the church, once powerful, are now merely symbolic reminders of the past.

  46. What's interesting is that the vilest anti terf comments come from the "be kind" Left. The people giving terfs the most support are adult straight traditional men, the ones labelled by these women as the Patriarchy. It seems to me that many of modern day problems stem from progressive ideas that sounded good but have not worked out as expected. With this in mind, an assessment of traditional ideas and how they might be retooled for modern life could be an answer to the problems facing society. I'm sure most men snd women would be, overall, happier without much of the progressive ideology which is tearing society apart. Believe it or not there are societies around the world where men and women work and live happily together without a constant questioning of the rules and customs of everyday life.

  47. If men really were the oppressive figures portrayed by feminists I don't think they 'd have been so compliant with their demonisation. I think we've been too reasonable, stepped back too far for our own good. But when wars start, who are the ones expected to die?

  48. ​ @EJS1972  Interesting observation. Personally, I don't think we're a good fit for Europe. Canada, Australia and NZ are crazy woke, so maybe America is the most obvious connection for us. I do think that we need to reverse this Declinism that afflicts middle class British liberals. Britain has a strong entrepreneurial bent, a history of making quality goods ( Rolls Royce, Aston Martin, Saville Row, etc) music and the creative industries. We can be great, but we need to get past this BBC loser mindset. After 50 years of progressive politics we now find ourselves worse off than when we did things in the traditional, tried and tested, way. The best way forward is to go backward. That's the future.

  49.  @evolassunglasses4673  Probably true. But I think at that time we chose to accept a US world dominance over a potential Soviet world dominance, hence the Cold War. WW2 bankrupted us. It's not as if we had a huge choice at the time. My parents would tell me stories about how rationing persisted until the late 50s. Meanwhile, America had never been wealthier, nor USSR a greater threat

  50. Thanks NCF for another year of exemplary programming. Your commitment to patriotic, thoughtful and respectful debate is setting a standard others should follow. Hopefully we'll see more of the same in the new year. Keep it up.
