  1. The "White genocide conspiracy theory" infobox below the video shows exactly how entrenched this anti-white culture is.
    847
  2. Basically we combine the worst bits of left and right without the good bits (i.e. our right wing party fails to encourage business and investment and promote order and efficiency, while our left wing party fails to invest in useful state capacity and pull those at the bottom out of poverty)
    741
  3. I love how when they say "21st century audience" they mean "21st century audience of leftists"
    415
  4. Like him or not, he's pretty much the only person in British politics thinking at this level. (Which itself raises a lot of questions)
    397
  5. Green jobs? What green jobs come from importing Chinese wind turbines?
    309
  6. The fact that it's controversial is proof that it exists.
    277
  7. She's right, the reason no one talks about it any more, is that deep down, the majority know they behaved like moronic sheep. ANd who wants to be reminded of that?
    194
  8. It's amazing how utterly unconservative the conservative parliamentary actually is.
    186
  9. Lol at how these "experts" keep saying "I always knew this would happen" despite earlier in the war saying "Ukraine will achieve total victory"
    100
  10. She unironically quoted Neill Ferguson. How many times does that guy have to be wrong?
    95
  11. Saw a video on Twitter today of a Chinese restaurant owner that finally got tired of black people not paying after eating there. Almost like there's a reason small businesses used to "turn them away".
    95
  12. That woman is an activist, not a journalist.
    92
  13. How is this even a question? Mainstream "conservatives" have been pathetically weak in resisting th left's takeover of our institutions.
    92
  14. Britain is sliding into bumbling toralitarianism
    84
  15. No it wasn't because of fucking d-day or betting, it was because your party isn't actually conservative.
    83
  16. What does it matter what majority Labour gets? The Tories have exactly the same policy preferences as them. The "vote Tory to keep Labour out argument is a joke"
    80
  17. This stuff isn't a secret, we just have a useless elite (on both sides) that prefers managed decline to actual leadership and vision (which is why they loved being a rubber stamp for the EU, which is of course the same managed decline on a continenet wide level). Return to financial discipline, slash current spending in favour of capital investment by government, similarly incentivize private investment and private capital markets, then massively deregulate the private sector. Add some genuine reform of the state (full school choice, mostly abolish the army and RAF and roll their spending into the Navy since we're an island, abolish many government departments)
    72
  18. It's laughable to try to blame this on Trump. We were never any kind of "partner" He's just honest.
    70
  19. Mr Solomon using that high verbal IQ to BS his way through that conversation lol. He literally had the "chutzpah" to say he hadn't interrupted Douglas ten seconds after he had interrupted him. Then 30 seconds later he interrupted him again.
    65
  20. The devolved Scottish government should be abolished.
    60
  21. Nice to see a little more balance in the guests for once.
    58
  22. Is there going to be a third chamber in the British Parliament for the indigenous people of these islands?
    57
  23. This sort of genuine right wing discourse is so far above the level of what The Spectator normally posits as conservatism (but which is in fact just liberalism).
    54
  24. "Do we need children" is such an anti human thing to even ask
    53
  25. "the public seem to be quite happy with this" - lol
    50
  26. That woman is symbolic of the childish moralizing of Western foreign policy, it basically all comes down to "BUT THEY'RE THE BADDIES!"
    49
  27. I love that Liz Truss can talk about using nuclear weapons and be cheered as a strong leader. And then Putin talks about using them as a last resort in the event of a Western attack on Russia, and that is somehow proof that he's a maniac.
    48
  28. The pandemic hasn't destroyed our economy, the lockdowns that the government chose to implement has.
    48
  29. Sorry why should we have more in common with Europe because of geographical proximity? We have far more in common with Australia and Canada than we do with Europe, and they're as far / even further away than the US.
    44
  30. Every worker who earns less than 30k per year is actually a net drain on government finances (they take more than they pay), so while adding 700k mostly low paid immigrants makes the GDP of the country rise, the average British citizen actually becomes poorer and GDP per capita goes down. We used to have a law for that exact reason mandating immigrants had to earn above 30k, but what do ya know, the Tories repelaed it just after Brexit.
    44
  31. Labour will finish this country off if they get the power this guest predicts they will.
    41
  32. The idea that he even owes an apology for a couple of mild jokes is laughable.
    41
  33. The fact that Tory leadership candisates have to "pretend to actually be right wing" says a lot about what the Tory party actually is.
    38
  34. It's telling that they talk about what Putin supposedly said without ever quoting or showing it. Almost as if they know they're lying about it.
    38
  35. Notice the sleight of hand "the damage that covid wrought" - no, covid wrought very little damage at all, the policies your government CHOSE to implement wrought massive damage to the economy. This is a similar game they play with how "the war in Ukraine" caused massive damage to European economies - no, the policies you CHOSE to implement, declaring all out economic war against Europe's biggest energy and raw material supplier was what caused the damage, not the war itself.
    37
  36. Did you have to talk with Never Trumper neoliberal Kate?
    36
  37. I never voted for Britain to be a multi ethnic or multi religious society.
    35
  38. Totally failed to question the basic premises of this guy's arguments.
    35
  39. "What abput green jobs?" What green jobs lol, importing Chinese wind turbines?
    34
  40. Lol, when she stuttered before saying that bs about how Ukraine is "fighting for Europe"
    34
  41. "But aren't the far right as much of an issue as the far left?" When every major corporation and government institution has a white pride month you might have an argument
    34
  42. Saying "I won't be drawn into slippery slope arguments" doesn't actually discredit them. The guy was hilariously evasive when she called him out on this.
    34
  43. I'm not pro Chinese, but the fact that a politicians is going to "decide" whether or not there's a genocide shows that this is about geopolitical games, not objective facts. And frankly, if what the Chinese government is doing to the Uyghurs (importing Han Chinese immigrants, encouraging inter-ethnic marriage, attacking and delegitimizing Uyghur culture and history, and denouncing anyone who resists as an "extremist"), then you could just as easily say that the British liberal establishment is carrying out a genocide against the native British, since it does all of those things too.
    33
  44. The guy talks about freedom then moves straight to authoritarian communism. Positive "freedoms" are just things you make other people pay for at gunpoint.
    33
  45. People wouldn't object to new developments if they were building traditional villages in the local style rather than ugly new build piles of houses in random fields next to motorways
    32
  46. I enjoyed when he basically said "violence is different when leftists do it, because they're the good guys"
    32
  47. When there's too much rape do we say "we need to legalize rape"?
    29
  48. The Tories are open borders globalists, of course they opened the borders. The issue is the use of "GDP" as some sort of marker of economic success, because most people don't understand that GDP says nothing about individual prosperity. GDP would go up if we imported 10 million Somalians next year, but GDP PER CAPITA would collapse, meaning the average British person became poorer. The use of GDP rather than GDP per capita as a show of economic success allows the government to import 1% of the population each year and claim that it's providing "2% economic growth" - this is technically true, but it doesn't mean that the average Briton is 2% wealthier, it just means that they've added lots of low paid workers who are captured in that 2% figure but are actually lowering the average earnings of British citizens.
    29
  49. "nation of immigrants" - there were something like 20,000 non white British citizens in the 1940s lol
    29
  50. She's right about the bias narrative. Many conservatives accept it, but then are surprised by the consequences (if you accept that all inequality is due to bias, then the existence of any inequality proves that bias remains and the institution/society/organization is still in need of reform, allowing for a sort of permanent revolution against discrimination)
    28
  51. Of course the athlete they interview is a leftist feminist who says we need more "equality" and less masculinity, supports BLM and attacks the past. The Spectator is a joke. Also her position is ironic since winning is literally about setting yourself above others, which is the opposite of equality.
    27
  52. How has it been "impossible to cut taxes"? That's simply a lie the Tories tell to avoid responsibility for their policies. No, government policy is a CHOICE. The Tories CHOSE vast government spending and high taxes.
    26
  53. Congrats on revealing yourselves as paid up shills for the Great Reset. FFS The minister even said "build back better" within 30 seconds of starting to speak.
    25
  54. The fact that today's leftists argue that things that raise workers' wages are bad is hilarious.
    25
  55. Submit to a dystopian police state in exchange for freedom...
    24
  56. This guy says covid and the Ukraine war caused the economic crisis, no it didn't, this is a common lie, the government's chosen reaction did. No one forced you to lock down the entire population and double the national debt, no one forced you to declare an all out sanctions war on Russia.
    24
  57. Oh ffs. I'd misremembered him as a Labour minister. Unbelievable that Conservative ministers are literally leftists.
    24
  58. The fact that Adonis thinks "government spending" and "community" are synonyms says a lot about the liberal left. "Hey, so what if your kids are now the only native English speakers in their class, we raised per pupil spending by 8%"
    22
  59. "retain and explain" - Why do we have to "explain" our history to the satisfaction of leftist ideologues who hate our country, its history and its native peoples? How about "retain and we don't need to explain ourselves to anyone"?
    21
  60. Utter clown, glad the comments seem mostly in agreement.
    21
  61. This guy is such a liar. "Oh they didn't lose their jobs over lawful free speech, they lost their jobs because their lawful speech clashed with the universities equalities duties" Uh, that's losing your job over lawful free speech.
    21
  62. The former negotiator is a liar. The EU explicitly did claim that they were offering a Canada style deal earlier, then later on when we said that we wanted that, they said that we couldn't have one. He is also an establishment shill totally unable to understand caring about being an independent nation.
    20
  63. Lol, was that SNP shill reporter's excuse for Sturgeon's lies that "it wouldnt have been good for them to tell the truth"?
    20
  64. The "conservative" party will work with communists but not nationalists... Tells you a lot about them.
    20
  65. The Tories need to be replaced with a real right wing party.
    19
  66. Waters just doesn't hate Russia and love NATO enough!
    19
  67. "Obviously we are on Ukraine's side" Why exactly?
    18
  68. No one wants to confront the real issue, which is that the British government is fundamentally weak and doesn't believe in itself or the country, and that's what always brings on independence movements. We'll never have real leadership until this changes. An actually strong country would have never allowed the establishment of the devolved national governments, or an independence referendum. Real leadership would be to simply abolish the devolved governments, denying the wannabe independence leaders.any legitimizing national office, but the useless managerialists would never have the backbone to make such a move.
    18
  69. *sponsored by the Israeli Embassy
    18
  70. The reason they wouldn't shut the borders is because they care more about replacing Western populations with third world immigrants than they do about protecting them.
    17
  71. Keeping the world safe for the liberal order!
    17
  72. Yep, based vibes for once.
    16
  73. But I'm glad we're siding with the Americans over AI and innovation. Better that than shackled to the EU.
    16
  74. What people like Kate never seem to understand is that there is more to a nation's prosperity than GDP (or even worse, than global GDP). If you shut down the British car industry, everyone in Dagenham ends up on welfare, but cars imported from Japan are 20% less expensive, is that really a better economy? This is the view that free trade zealots take. "oh, those workers will all just retrain into a profession more in line with Britain's comparative advantage" they say, but that isn't really true, is it? It also ignores non economic factors like national security, in a world war, most of Britain's modern GDP would go up in smoke overnight "muh accounting, muh legal services, muh international finance, muh arts and culture, muh shopping", whereas a country like Russia, who on paper has a smaller economy than ours, in reality has a vastly larger real economic production, churning out fuel and energy resources to power their economy, primary resources like wood and steel and fertilizer to run agriculture and construction, military equipment to defend itself with etc, and huge surpluses of these things that it can trade with other nations. All things that become vastly more valuable in a situation of global conflict. Russia has survived an all out Western economic blockade vastly better than predicted, whereas if Britain were subjected to the same thing, our economy would collapse practically overnight.
    16
  75. I like Peter but a bitcoin maxi was not the ideal guest for this
    15
  76. I did a humanities degree at a top 5 university. Everyone on the course had all A*s. During the first term they had to put on remedial writing classes... Edit: wrote the comment before watching the video and what do you know, the law professor mentioned precisely that issue. What must it be like for the people who attend the hundreds of less prestigious institutions when it's that bad at the "elite" ones?
    15
  77. The exception is not just Africa. Among Western nations, there are only two groups with above replacemwnt fertility rates; Orthodox Jews and the Amish. So yes, it's feminism, but it's also something more, a loss of some sort of belief in a transcendent drive.
    15
  78. Lol, they're just basic liberals. Leftists literally define anything that isn't leftism as "fascism". And in fact, in literal communist states, the more left wing factions describe the slightly less extreme communists as fascists. The Berlin Wall was the "anti fascist protection rampart", because democratic Europe was "fascism".
    15
  79. Impressed you got someone a bit more Realist and not another neocon.
    15
  80. It was literally some people trespassing in a public building. They didn't burn down buildings, they didn't loot, they didn't attack police, they didn't kill anyone. We don't see establishment conservative gatekeepers engage in this kind of histrionics over leftist civil disobedience.
    15
  81. Why is it bad that Russia is winning? I never got a vote to be on Ukraine's side in this war.
    15
  82. And imagine the reaction if they'd just shot one of the antifa.
    14
  83.  @j.burgess4459  True. But part of is really just will. For example even the UK and France (two evenly matched fairly powerful countries), if the UK just went crazy town, the French, and even the EU would cave. For example what if we threatened to withdraw all support for Ukraine and approach Russia for a cheap energy deal? Can you imagine the scale of the meltdown that would occur across Europe? But the UK has no will, for example when we were negotiating Brexit, the EU used every bit of leverage it had against us, but when it was suggested we withdraw intelligence sharing from the EU as leverage (where we have a decisive advantage and are the most powerful country in Europe), our officials said "oh we can't possibly do that, it wouldn't be right to use that as leverage!"
    14
  84. He's an establishment shill.
    14
  85. Why do you need to pay other people to do your dirty work? Take them and escort them back to a French port. If the French say we have to take them and can't stop anyone claiming asylum, then we offer all British prisoners early release if they claim asylum in France and put them on boats.
    14
  86. Adonis doesn't seem to understand the difference between markets setting real wages and artificial wage levels set by governments. The idea that you can have massive oversupply of labour due to immigration and fix that by having the government just decree that "wages are to be higher" is laughable. If you stop immigration then market wages will naturally rise without the need for market distorting government intervention.
    14
  87. I mean to actually be serious for a moment. That one way is simply to have the Royal Navy rescue anyone in distress, escort any boats that aren't etc, but have the destination always be straight back to the nearest French port. And if the French government attempts to hinder them in any way, take that as a hostile act demonstrating their complicity and act accordingly. Implying you're going to sink the boats or something is ridiculous larping.
    14
  88. Banning foreign ownership of media is hilarious after years of lecturing the Russians and Chinese about how their restrictions on foreign media and NGO activity (which we've also imitated with the recent National Security Act) were aithoritarian.
    14
  89. The arrogance is incredible, they talk about "bringing the public along" with their plans, or that there will be "great resistance" to them, or that they need to "correct public misconceptions", but there's no suggestion that the public gets any say on where things are going. We apparently live in a democracy, and yet it seems like globalist elites have already made all the decisions.
    14
  90. Zelensky is an actor and a puppet lol.
    14
  91. It's amazing that American and British troops are five miles from Russia's border and you're pretending that Russia is the aggressor in the confrontation.
    14
  92. Exactly, I'd love to be an independent superpower, but we aren't. So I'd rather be aligned with the US and Aus/Can/NZ.
    13
  93. 16:55 Ignore the fact that you have a fifth column living in your country because youndont want to be "racist" lol. This is why the West will lose, because it's a politically correct joke, even so-called "conservatives".
    13
  94. Stop lying, there is no fuel crisis outside of the media induced panic. I now see my local petrol station sell out every day, not because of a shortage but because it's packed with 5x as many cars as usual. And yet despite the vastly larger demand, its supplies are being refilled each day with no issues.
    13
  95. Notice how there's zero suggestion that voters get any say in this. Everyone "needs" to "do their part".
    13
  96. What are these "extreme folks"? Anyone who thinks their people and culture have a right to exist? That don't want to be made into an ethnic minority in the country their ancestors built? Is that "extreme"?
    13
  97. Yep, and people need to be able to confidently and straightforwardly say this, and that this statement is in no way "racist" or based in "hate", as the left tries to psychologize it.
    12
  98. ​@N330AA Yes, a Western backed coup never happened. The Kiev coup government never attacked the Donbass for refusing to accept their authority. Russian was never outlawed in public life, Ukraine didn't relentlessly shell Donetsk for seven years. Ukraine never applied to join a military alliance that puts nuclear weapons all along Russia's borders.
    12
  99. Boring establishment talk, none of these people offer radical change (Jenrick pretends to, but seems like an act)
    12
  100. The sneering condescension of that guy talking about Brexit and Russia is the reason as a Brexiteer I also support Russia. Reject globalist hegemony.
    12
  101. Not an argument.
    12
  102.  @dbefore7165  Lol we live in a society where only one group is told they're being "selfish" by having anything. Dear white Briton, hand over your jobs, hand over your money, hand over your institutions, hand over your culture, hand over your homeland, if you don't you're "selfish".
    12
  103. There was no coup, and having two neocon clowns talk about it isn't going to provide any insight into what happened.
    12
  104. Where were all these charges last week? Doesn't really work to say "oh we're just doing the right thing and holding him to account", ok, then why weren't you doing it a week ago?
    12
  105. Glad she acknowledged the way she acted when she was younger towards men. I'm always "chivalrous" to women, and the middle aged women, the old women, the women with their kids, the little girls, all light up. The young women meanwhile... look at you like something they jist scraped off their boot half the time.
    12
  106. Pathetic, the idea that Tory voters even really want a "deal" that surrenders national sovereignty is a joke. Spectator exposing their neoliberal globalist sympathies again.
    11
  107. Again, this is the problem, we're being forced into a more and more authoritarian society to deal with the consequences of the importation of huge numbers of people from alien societies.
    11
  108. ​@RunOfTheHind Not trying to. Yes, "capitalism" is indeed a force that undermines traditional social order. That's why if you read Marx, he celebrated capitalism for paving the way for communism by smashing older social orders. Conservatives should indeed subordinate capital to the interests of the nation and its people and culture. Ypu seem to mistakenly think we're all Thatcherite neoliberals.
    11
  109. Lol, it's not about it "not being how you govern" it's about getting rid of actual Brexiteers and putting the old Tory Remainer globalists back in charge. Getting rid of people who put Britain first and replacing them with people who put the Conservative party first.
    11
  110. There are strategic industries Britain should have. We should be making our own steel, we should have megaports and shipyards building container ships, we should have one fo the world's biggest merchant navies etc. There are things that this country should be doing, even if they aren't strctly "economically rational" and therefore need to be subsidized, because they make long term sense and provide synergy with other parts of our economy. As they say, we aren't as big as America, so we still need to trade internationally, so what we need to focus on is self sufficiency in our ability to trade with anywhere in the globe (i.e. by having a massive merchant navy, shipbuilding capability, a dominant maritime insurance industry, massive megaports and a powerful blue water navy.)
    11
  111. It's not possible to not have net immigration above zero? Lol wut? Nelson is a clown.
    11
  112. I thought we lived in a democracy And elections every few years? How can the government set policy that will take decades to implement? Almost like the people in control aren't really the voters.
    11
  113.  @wiseonwords  Funny how people like you have to constantly insult and strawman. Just like Douglas during the interview sneering away, laughing at the idea that because the reality of Russia does not perfectly live up to the self image they aspire to, therefore anyone who supports their stated values is an idiot. Uh, no, how about just the fact that they want to be those things is good? The fact that Russia wants to be strong, rather than fetishizing weakness and victimhood, is praiseworthy in and of itself. The fact that Putin publicly respects the national Church, even if he isn't a devout Christian, is praiseworthy in and of itself. Our politicians don't even pretend to share those values.
    11
  114. "Due regard" lol, they intentionally make these "rights" full of holes.
    10
  115. Lol at all these "slava Ukraine" politicians falling one after the other.
    10
  116. Are the entire staff of the Spectator basically just establishment liberals? None of them seem to challenge the ridiculous premise of this entire lockdown. If they'd let covid play out in Summer there would have been far less pressure on services, instead they've saved it up until winter intentionally.
    10
  117.  @mr2chrisd  Lol there's literally footage of the audience applauding and cheering her when she said she was "ready to push the button" at the conservative leadership debates. Funny, I don't see you demanding any "sources" for the claims (lies) about what Putin said, no problem believing those, eh?
    10
  118. The simple fact is that Russia has been hammering Ukraine with far larger numbers of far more powerful missiles for 3 years now, and it hasn't knocked Ukraine out of the war, so the idea that giving Ukraine permission to carry out deep strikes on Russian territory will make any substantive difference is ridiculous. It's just a dangerous symbolic escalation (which Russia may feel obliged to retaliate for, the Houthis would love some hypersonic missiles, right?)
    10
  119. Invade the world and invite the world, thanks neocons.
    10
  120. Except that isn't controversial, since it's nonsense, so no one cares. ​@themossad
    10
  121. One point to make is that we're supposed to be a democracy, the government attempting to manipulate our opinions is fundamentally subverting that when it hasn't been given a mandate to do so. They're supposed to do what we say, not the other way around.
    9
  122. The reason her engineering department was 50% female was because they employed massive anti male discrimination. Amazing that people like that think that that is what fairness looks like.
    9
  123. The aboriginals aren't being herded into open air concentration camps and treated as second class citizens today though, are they?
    9
  124. "if you're a classic liberal, if you're a conservative". Yeah, those aren't the same thing, "classic liberals", i.e liberals, have hijacked conservatism despite the fact that they're actually the traditional enemies of conservatism. Stop trying to conflate the two.
    9
  125. Why do governments need a "report" to tell them what to do? Aren't they meant to, you know, govern?
    9
  126. When they say "protect our values", they always mean "protect left liberal values". How are these jokes Conservative again?
    9
  127. This is what passes for conservatism these days, authoritarian liberalism and social.democratic economic policy. Basically Labour.
    9
  128. I'm sceptical but tbh he seems fairly sincere. He's a long way to the right of most mainstream conservatives" and explicitly rejects liberalism, which is a start. Wouldn't have a problem with what he says if he accepts that shared ancestry is one of the components of nationhood
    9
  129. They're establishment shills, and the globalist establishment is all in on using climate change as a pretext for authoritarian control
    9
  130. And that is still the standard in Japan for anyone who thinks otherwise. Yes, the Japanese government pretends, but for example I remember the story of an ethnically French guy who was born in Japan, had Japanese citizenship etc, and when he was older, he tried to join the Japanese police force... it was made very clear to him that under no circumstances would someone like him ever become a police officer. The idea that they'd allow some gaijin to use physical violence against real Japanese people was ludicrous.
    9
  131. "A conservative argument for immigration" >gives liberal argument
    9
  132. "You were tapping the markets for a staggering amount of money" he says as he brushes over borrowing our entire GDP to pay people not to work for a year.
    9
  133. Exactly. But the trouble is that everyone who would be supposed to hold them to account (the opposition parties, the civil service, the meda, and even the majority of the public) were 100% onboard, and therefore calling out the government requires accepting their own culpability. People often assume that the brave individual who speaks out against the group and is proven right would be celebrated, but in reality they are often despised as a reminder of the general idiocy of everyone else and told to either shut up or driven away.
    9
  134. Same thing that happened in Ireland will happen here.
    8
  135. Could we for once have some guests who aren't neocon clowns to talk about Ukraine?
    8
  136. Just proves his point, people get angry when you undermine their myths with fact.
    8
  137.  @shughy1  That's the irony. I'm the bad right winger who doesn't feel bad about colonialism, but has no interest in lecturing Qatar, while leftists who rant about decolonizing our museums still want to tell brown people how to live right now.

  138. Amazing being against neocon warmongering is now too "right wing"

  139.  @normanlazarus1836  Guess you think Cuba should have been allowed to host Russia nuclear weapons in the 60s?
    8
  140. Yep, offending people like Owen is a feature, not a bug. While I love this country, our obsession with being "polite" to the point of absurdity, and thus our outrage at Americans who "tell it like it is", is not a part of the national character i like.

  141.  @stanettiels7367  It is larping. Get real. Turning around the boats and taking them back to France achieves the exact same objective without making you look like a fucking sociopath. Australia made clear that no one coming by boat would be allowed to set foot in Australia and the boats stopped coming. They didn't have to kill people.

  142. Pathetic isn't it? This is the "conservative" mainstream media.
    8
  143. "We don't want elected officials deciding what can be said, we want an independent regulator having that role" I'd prefer no one had that role, but of it has to be someone, I'd prefer someone who was elected and accountable to the public, rather than some sneering metropolitan liberal (someone just like her, what a coincidence!). The fact that these people claim to be defending democracy, but constantly work towards removing democratic accountability and empowering bureaucratic technocracy is telling.
    7
  144. Yes you're a liberal. There's nothing wrong with ethnic identity.
    7
  145. Yes, and the trouble is that people like Truss, while good intentioned, have helped ot happen. Unfettered economic liberalism is not the future of conservatism, we need a forward looking nationalism.
    7
  146. Noticed that eh? The former civil servant is obviously a Remainer, because it didn't even occur to him that the EU was getting anything, while we were meant to be grateful that the EU was giving us the "privilege" of access to their market.
    7
  147. "What we care about most, Ukraine winning this war" Oh really, when did "we" vote for that? When did we debate it?
    7
  148. How pathetic does the Conservative party have to be to want to move past a president who was pro British, pro Brexit and pro a free trade deal, and embrace a leftist who is anti British, anti Brexit and anti a free trade deal? Humiliating.
    7
  149. ZERO
    7
  150. Wow, some actual debate about this subject from the Spectator for once.
    7
  151.  @tarakb7606  No one voted for those wars. The same globalist parasites that support open borders were the ones who pushed us into them.
    7
  152. What do you mean "publicly funded"? lawyers for illegal migrants? Remove the funding then.
    7
  153. We could have had the same thing in the UK if our right of centre parties had been prepared to think about Britain's future rather than just buy the votes of the elderly.
    7
  154. another servant of Israel lol
    7
  155. Why is it always two pro Ukraine guests? Maybe that's the reason for the "toral lack of opposition" that Owen cheers? The Brirish public has never heard the other side of this debate.
    7
  156. He's fundamentally an establishment journalist.
    7
  157. So Britain stands for the rule of law and individual rights, but we just steal from individuals because we want to hurt their government?
    7
  158. It's convenient saying that the Baltic states only wanted to join NATO because they were scared of Russian aggression, but it doesn't really make sense since Russia only became hostile to them after they joined NATO.
    7
  159. Why are half of the Tory party opposed to conservatism?
    7
  160. "The Iraq war was nothing to do with Israel, you see, by total coincidence I was hanging out with the Israeli ambassador the day before the invasion." Yeah very convincing lol.
    6
  161. Maybe we could be a sovereign country? Starmer is pathetic, desperate for a foeeign master, whether the US or EU?
    6
  162. This white privilege debate gives us a false dichotomy; from the left white people are told to adopt collective guilt and self hatred and act against our group interests. From the mainstream right we are told we shouldn't even have a collective identity and should just adopt colorblind individualism. We are shown that these are the two sides of the debate, but they aren't. The only real way out of this is for us to adopt a positive collective identity and advocate for our shared group interests the way ever other race and ethnicity is encouraged to. Anything else leads to our continuing humiliation and marginalization.
    6
  163. "there's something in the upbringing or background of men" - why when the assumption for every other group not succeeding "structural discrimination", where with young men it's "there's something wrong with them"?
    6
  164. Yeah utter joke, put one of the clowns who managed to not do a single conservative thing for 14 years in charge of the country in charge of the (once) most repected conservative magazine in Britain.
    6
  165. Pathetic. Iran isn't our enemy, it's Israel's. I liked Douglas, but he cares more about protecting the Jewish ethnostate than he does about Britain.
    6
  166. Yep, this is just one massive wealth transfer to globalist and metropolitan type liberals who get to pose as champions of the world's poor, protecting them from climate change disaster, while actually they're lining their pockets at the expense of working class and middle class people's taxes and energy bills. Basically 100% of the billions of Pounds each year skimmed off of tax revenues and electricity costs will go into the pockets of people like these, from the consultants all the way up to the investors in these massive windfarms.
    6
  167.  @BrightonDunkz  He knows far more about Russia than Murray ever will
    6
  168. Populism is literally just a synonym for democracy, but the people who deride it don't want to say they don't like democracy. Similarly they are the people who claim to be "defending democracy" against populism, which is rather strange, until you realize that what they mean by "democracy" isn't democracy at all, but liberal technocracy.
    6
  169. The alternative to subsidizing the tech to power the shift to economically unviable renewables (hence their need for subsidies) is to just... not shifting to renewables.
    6
  170. That's what people who actually wanted to win would do. The left understands that attack is the best form of defence, unfortunately this lot can barely even muster any defence. Murray is a bit better than the rest of these wets, but that's not saying much.
    6
  171. This is a classic example of the Tories ignoring their own voters and making up a narrative that suits the tiny out of touch elite that controls the party. Brexit was not a vote for even more globalisation you absolute jokes, it was a vote against it. Outside of the neoliberal cadre of the parliamentary party, people voted for Brexit so that we could try to rebuild a genuinely independent economy, bring back serious manufacturing, protect fledgling industries etc.
    6
  172. Canzuk and then align with the US on a more equal basis.
    6
  173. "Is Russia's Eastern offensive collapsing?" Lol, how deluded are you people?
    6
  174. "lowest rate among G7 countries in Europe", so not the lowest rate among G7 countries then.
    6
  175. Yep. Being British it's obvious that by far the primary reason for dislike of Trump here is how brash and "not proper" he is, not any substantive reason. Even people who would agree with all of his policies dislike him.
    6
  176.  @royjacobs1204  Oooh you hero you, let's fight to the last Ukrainian! Just like Iraq and Afghanistan, because our principles say that invading cou tries is wro... oh wait.
    6
  177. Anglo Saxon wasn't some "influence" that ended, they're our ancestors. Blood matters. The guests are happy to talk about continuity of blood between monarchs, but not about the blood of the English people (that would be racist!)
    6
  178. Midwit take. He answers the questions, but on his own terms.
    6
  179. So the government's problem is not enough lockdown? The Spectator is a joke.
    6
  180. Lol, the fact that The Spectator sees the AFD as a bad thing tells you all you need to know
    5
  181. Why is Gove so obsessed with continuing immigration though, "but but is there a number of people who we can keep bringing in and assimilate!?"
    5
  182. Did that guy say that Zelensky is doing a great job of running the war? Lol.
    5
  183. Thought you were making this up lol, but it's true "I would follow Dick Cheney’s advice and I would vote for Kamala Harris" - the level of deranged neocon control of British conservatives is amazing.
    5
  184. Someone needed to push back much harder against that propagandist.
    5
  185. It's all so tiresome. At least the comments section suggests a substantial number of people are no longer falling for this garbage.
    5
  186. What is conservative about the Conservative party again?
    5
  187. Britain could do with being a bit more "racist", then the native population wouldn't be on course to become a minority by 2066.
    5
  188. "Russian colonists" lol, Russians built every city in Crimea, nearly the entire population is Russian. When the Russians annexed it even the Ukrainian army units there immediately went over to them.
    5
  189. So the only reason that this "conservative" magazine can come up with not to support a vaccine passport is because it wouldn't be good for black people? What a joke.
    5
  190. It's telling that a supposedly "right wing" publication like the Spectator would never have a fascist or a nationalist as a guest but will happily invite communists.
    5
  191. And this is "conservative" media lol.
    5
  192. Even the interviewer is pro ECHR, what a joke.
    5
  193. Yep, the UK is very ,uch kept under control by status anxiety (don't want to look working class by opposing immigration etc), and politeness (don't want to upset anyone or go against the group). Once those methods of control break down though, you get something called a preference cascade, where people all realize that almost everyone is opposed to how things are going, they were just intimidated into staying silent.
    5
  194. What does this guy think of the free will of all the countries Britain and America have invaded and regime changed over recent decades?
    5
  195. Hilarious if it wasn't so sad. I feel for Ukrainian nationalists, but they need to realize they're fighting on the side of neoliberal globalism and it's woke social agenda.
    5
  196. Yep. Of course they won't admit to being wrong. Going to be hilarious watching them try to spin Russia achieving every one of the stated strategic objectives it laid out at the start of the conflict as a defeat. I guess it will be along the lines of "well he said he only wanted to safeguard ethnic Russians in the East, demilitarize Ukraine and make it a neutral state, but really he secretly wanted to conquer the whole of Ukraine, and he hasn't done that so he's failed, what a loser lol!!!"
    5
  197. Yes we're the liberal tolerant good guys, that's why anyone who disagrees with the official line should be forced out of the country.
    5
  198. Amazing isn't it? The interests of their actual citizens are the last thing that concerns them.
    5
  199. They could have just ceded the Donbass and Crimea (which want to be part of Russia anyway), now we're past it, the Russians will probably not stop until a Ukrainian surrender.
    4
  200. Something something rules based liberal international order, Putin doesn't love LGBT enough something something.
    4
  201. Ok Ukrainian propagandist.
    4
  202. "Putin's army stalls" Can you just give the shit neocon propaganda a rest? Either you're idiots or you think your viewers are. Some people want to actually know what's going on, not the Western elite fantasy narrative of what's going on.
    4
  203. Also hearing him sneer at the "centre right", is that too "extreme" for today's Tories?
    4
  204. Lol, they're establishment shills. The least bad of an awful bunch.
    4
  205. I'm not sure why it's worth defending the left liberal types when they are cancelled, where were they during the years actual conservatives were experiencing the same thing? For example what about an artist that not only disagreed with aspects of trans ideology where it impacted feminism and women, but also was happy to say that they did not "stand with the LGBT community"? Would she support them?
    4
  206. Yeah they interviewed a Palestinian refugee born in a camp in Lebanon who now lives in the UK later in the episode, I wonder if he wants refugees like her to be allowed to go back to Israel lol.
    4
  207. For now they are the global reserve currency, so other nations fund their fecklessness, we don't have that luxury.
    4
  208. Liz Truss wanted to relax immigration controls "for the OBR"? Do these people really not understand that any immigramt earning below 30k or something is actually a net drain on public finances? "But it make GDP go up" is not actually an argument, what matters is GDP per capita, and anyone aarnimg below the average wage LOWERS GDP per capita and makes us poorer.
    4
  209. "I've increased taxes by 30%, then lowered them 1%, I'm a tax cutter!"
    4
  210. I actually agree, Hungary should leave the EU, it's an evil organization run by psychotic neocon globalists, we should go back to a Europe of sovereign independent nations who govern in the interests of their own peoples. We could also have much more friendly relations with Russia and Belarus and the rest of the non EU, non NATO European countries.
    4
  211. Lol, do you think America is stupid? European countries keep saying "oh we will provide troops, but America needs to provide a "backstop". So basically you'll provoke Russia into a conflict knowing that America will have to come and do the actual fighting? No.
    4
  212. Agreed. With the exception of John Mearsheimer every single guest they have is a neocon stooge.
    4
  213. Lol, the "concerted efforts by state actors to lie about the Ukraine war" are led by Britain and America, not Russia. Remember a year ago when we were told the Russians were about to run out of missiles by the head of the British military? Telegraph themselves are Ukrainian propagandists who have lied constantly since the start of the war.
    4
  214. Lol, pretty sure white British people were "above" the native people in the British Empire's colonies in Africa too, so that makes no sense.
    4
  215. yep, seeing so-called conservatives repeating leftist lies wholesale is just risible.
    4
  216. Yeah, Western globalist leaders would have kept trying to bring it to heel and destroy it as an independent force in the world, as they do every country that doesn't fully submit to their control.
    4
  217. Rather inane given that working class wages did very well under Trump.
    4
  218. No, there should be no "route". Asylum was always premised as being temporary, but leftists used it as a weapon to flood the country with permanent migrants.
    4
  219. Oy vey. Wonder if he supports that Palestinian refugee and her family going back to Israel.
    4
  220. Yep, Russians lose 2% of the territory they've conquered, and suddenly it's "Russians are on the run!" In fact they've been working with a limited deployment up until now, they just announced a partial mobilisation, which means a tripling of their available forces for deployment to Ukraine. They've always had overwhelming escalatory dominance, the Western media and governments have been deluded to pretend otherwise, the idea that they have to use nuclear weapons to prevent defeat is ridiculous.
    4
  221. Yep.
    4
  222. Naive because he doesn't want to start WW3 with Russia to protect a country that was part of the Russian Empire for 500 years and that is half full of Russians who'd be happy rejoining Russia anyway? His thinking is straightforward and totally consistent. Probably why you don't cite exactly how his views are incorrect in any way.
    4
  223.  @smillner771  Actually there are. The areas Russia took, the Crimea and the Donbass, overwhelmingly back being with Russia versus Ukraine. And liberal ideologues don't seem to understand that there are nuances to issues. Is it "justified"? By what measure? To what degree? The examples you used show that you instinctively understand that yes it is to some extent justified, because the examples you use are ones where there are shared bonds of history, culture and ancestry that do provide some level of justification. Everyone knows that it would be more outrageous of China to invade Australia or Japan than to invade Taiwan, because it doesn't have those bonds with them. And in any case, the point is that they are much more justified than the neoliberal globalist world police are. Because let's be clear here, Ukraine is currently under American political occupation, as it has been since Joe Biden was sent there as "point man" to basically run the country after the "revolution" (totally not a Western backed coup, just a coincidence that the first thing they did after their revolution was to call the US State Department to ask it to take charge of their country for them). The people who run America have spent the last 30 years savaging countries they have zero historical connection to, half way across the world from them, on made up pretexts, to assert total global hegemony. Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya. (and they tried Syria and wanted Iran too). The don't get to lecture the rest of the world about "sovereignty" lol.
    4
  224. Funny isn't it, seeing them talking about their international plans and how "we need to bring everyone along" with them. That isn't how democracy works, the elites aren't supposed to decide how things will be in advance and then brainwash the public, voters are meant to decide and then our leaders are supposed to implement what we want.
    4
  225. Right, and these are the so called Conservatives.
    4
  226. learn another historical event
    4
  227. Why is it unfortunate that this is looking like a good year for the Russians? When was there a vote or public debate that decided everyone in Britain had to support Ukraine?
    4
  228. All uk defence spending should go to the Navy, we're an island.
    4
  229. Wow, the guy actually came put and said "regime change".
    4
  230. They have to do what they're told for global neoliberalism and US hegemony. Also Serbia needs to recognize Kosovo because the Kosovans have a right to self determination. If you question anything you're a Russian bot.
    4
  231. Hilarious how we're told about the evils of white colonialism, but now we're talking about trying to build Africa's economy for it so that its entire population won't move to Europe.
    4
  232. Lol, who exactly do you want them to talk to?
    4
  233. Look how Space X has utterly blown away NASA (reducing the cost of getting things into orbit by 99% and totally opening up space)
    3
  234. Wow, a few decades ago the native population dared to say the country belonged to them, I'm glad we've "moved past that's and now we're happy to be turned into an ethnic minority in our own homeland.
    3
  235. Lol, but we haven't eh, you clown? Russia signed the Minsk accords, as did the West, then the West and Ukraine broke them, and publicly admitted to doing so.
    3
  236. He wasn't right about that, there was no need to join in with the neocon vendetta against Russia.
    3
  237. The Spectator are establishment "conservatives", you get pretty much the same gatekeeping behaviour from them that you do from the BBC.
    3
  238. Yeah she's engaging in laughable historical revisonism. We didn't even really trust Jews in sensitive positions in the British state (like MI6 officers) until the 1960s.
    3
  239. Yep, the Tories have basically just morphed into Labour. We have two centre left parties to choose from.
    3
  240. So the Cabinet is literally run by morons who don't understand the difference between GDP and GDP per capita, and between income and expenditure? They literally think "higher immigration means higher revenue, therefore it's good for the economy"?
    3
  241. Pathetic neoliberal globalist establishment defenders The Spectator excel themselves once again.
    3
  242. Sky News story about him says "Reform UK MP accused of serious bullying", so no Gawain, it has not been known from the start the the bullying accusations were not against him, Reform strongly implied they were.
    3
  243. I'm not interested in "beating Putin" I'd much prefer to see him knock the globalist traitors who control the West off their perch.
    3
  244. This is conspiracy theory nonsense. Whatever you think of what happened, there were thousands of Trump supporters there.
    3
  245.  @hmq9052  Oh, that must be why we're supporting Saudi Arabia, an authoritarian theocracy's war in Yemen. It must be why our government closely support Qatar and other Gulf State aitocracies. It must be why encouraged and supported a coup against the democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014 too... Oh wait.
    3
  246. Here's some long termism - the native population will be an ethnic minority by the end of this century, and our politicians are actively making it happen.
    3
  247. Amazing isn't it? Neocons wreck the entire place, fail at every one of their clever little plans, then act like none of it is their fault.
    3
  248. Japan, a country with twice our population, takes 50 refugees a year under their "international obligations" Not 50,000, not 5,000, not even 500. 50 refugees. Only white people fall for this shit.
    3
  249.  @Slootytv  True, but there is a bit of a cultural difference. Britain and America are very similar, but there's a bit more of a scope for Americans to act individually and "make a scene" than there is in the UK, so while there are lots of smart people too scared to speak up in the US, there's a much bigger minority who are willing to speak the truth, even if it's unpopular.
    3
  250. The issue with the Tories isn't that they genuinely buy into the net zero agenda (except for some very stupid ones) it's that they're mostly amoral social climbers just like most politicians, so they go along with the green agenda because they're told "that's the high-status / career protecting / non risky thing to do". Fundamentally they aren't "leaders", they're managerialists who take their lead from a technocratic bureaucracy, media and cultural elite that has bought into this agenda. The average Tory politician cares more about what the Guardian thinks of him than he does his own voters. If we had a real Tory leader it would be a huge open goal to say "F**K NET ZERO, it doesn't work, it will make ordinary people poorer for no reason, I'm on the side of real economic development, not enriching a few globalist renwable energy businessmen and their hangers on in the media, academia and their climate zealot footsoldiers."
    3
  251. Matt Hancock is being "advised" by Tony Blair. The Tories aren't conservative.
    3
  252. Are you trying to pretend that pro Israel voices are some sort of oppressed minority and not the utterly establishment view of the entire Western power structure?
    3
  253. It's funny that he suggests that former president of Ukraine were Russian puppets, when that isn't true at all. The supposedly "pro Russian" president overthrown in 2014 wasn't pro Russian, he was just not anti Russian. He was negotiating a trade agreement with the EU, which he only backed off of when it tried the typical Neoliberal asset stripping and IMF loans push and Russia offered a better deal. (At which point suddenly a coup happened, what a surprise lol)
    3
  254. Psychologizing anyone to the right of them is standard practice across the spectrum. Kate dropped the "mother's basement" line in there etc. Surprise they didn't go for the Putin os threatening niclear escalation because he has a "small penis" argument. They do it because they don't have any actual arguments.
    3
  255. It's hard to tell how much these people are even being honest, he now and then lts something slip that suggests he doesn't believe eveything he's been saying.
    3
  256. Just like in America it was perfected on Muslims after 9/11 and now extended to Trump's entire electoral base.
    3
  257. The Navy refused to defend our borders?
    3
  258. Yeah, calling that bungled retreat a success is hilarious, the Democrats in America said the same thing.
    3
  259. Exactly, we're always told these immigrants are for economic purposes, but of that were true we'd allow in only economically productive people on work permits, and then they'd leave before they became net takers (I.e. when they start having children and using schools etc).
    3
  260. About as centrist as Tony Blair ever was, I.e. not at all
    3
  261. Are people not allowed to be misogynistic or racist?
    3
  262.  @danutter12  "The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. The most commonly implicated virus is a rhinovirus (30–80%), a type of picornavirus with 99 known serotypes.[30] Other commonly implicated viruses include human coronaviruses (≈ 15%),[31][32] influenza viruses (10–15%),[33] adenoviruses (5%),[33] human respiratory syncytial virus (orthopneumovirus), enteroviruses other than rhinoviruses, human parainfluenza viruses, and human metapneumovirus.[34] Frequently more than one virus is present.[35] In total, more than 200 viral types are associated with colds.[4]" Common cold is a coronavirus far more often than an adenovirus. And your point that they don't have a vaccine for the common cold because it mutates every year, before then saying that we have a vaccine for flu viruses even though they also mutate every year makes no sense.
    3
  263. Lol, those red lines she mentioned weren't Russian red lines, they were red lines the West made up for ourselves then later crossed. The last Russian red line we crossed led to them invading Ukraine.
    3
  264. Precisely. Liberalism is what brought us to this state, the idea that it is a solution to the probems it caused is ridiculous.
    3
  265. "nasty baggage" you mean not being a cucked "centre right" party that is basically leftist?
    3
  266. That's not even the point, even if "the science" is right, that doesn't mean we need to follow the policies of the authoritarian globalist agenda in reaction. The benefits of cheap electricity across the world are 100 times greater than the drawbacks of a couple of degrees of climate change. They talk about the increase in flooding etc, but notice how when there are floods in rich (thanks to cheap fossil fuel energy) economies, less than a hundred people or so will be killed, while when there are floods in poor countries tens of thousands will be killed. The benefits to infrastructure, safety, clean water, cheap food etc that come from cheap energy from fossil fuels are vastly bigger than an increase in flooding and droughts and sea level rises, because they enable us to easily adapt to and counter them.
    3
  267. The "there's a lot of crime" affecting all races argument is nonsense. It's like if a black London gang mainly mugs black people in their area, but then it chooses to travel to the cotswolds to torture and murder old white farming couples who don't even have anything worth stealing. Those crimes are of fundamentally different natures, one is motivated by material gain and opportunistic risk vs reward, the other by pure hatred and malice. You don't boil a child alive in a bathtub because you're just trying to get money to feed your family.
    3
  268.  @ramtom9882  Yes you're right, the people leading this stuff are primarily a class of self loathing white people trying to virtue signal to gain social status.
    3
  269. Yep, they're basically functioning as establishment shills, they don't question the premise of anything.
    3
  270. Right, both the Spectator and this guy so obviously think Brexit is a ridiculous idea. They see it as an unfortunate problem that needs to be "dealt with"
    3
  271. Lol, they're the most limp "right" that exists you cretin. They spent most of the show talking about the importance of liberalism. The real "far right" would deal with people like you in short order, not pander to your worldview like The Spectator and the rest of the Tory establishment does.
    3
  272. Rishi Sunak is a patriot who cares about this country? Neil is a left liberal globalist, just like Sunak.
    3
  273. It goes a lot deeper than just them. The entire Western political establishment seems to be serving some deeper agenda that clearly couldn't care less about public opinion. This ridiculous Russophobic foreign policy is entirely a creation of media and political elites.
    3
  274.  @AngelofKarma690  "Ukrainian" - funny how it's them almost every single time.
    3
  275. Oy vey

  276.  @aaronsmyth7943  Everything you say is a total lie. Russia is currently obliterating the majority of Ukrain'es armed forces, as was its goal from the start. The stuff about indiscriminate slaughter and Grozny is nonsense, sources at the DIA (a lot more qualified than some raving nutjob like you) have publicly called out such lies. And pariah state lol, again, you realize outside of the West, no one cares about this don't you? The Saudis won't even return Biden's calls, the Indians have told British diplomats to take a running jump, the Pakistani Prime Minister literally went for a visit in Moscow a couple of weeks back, the Chinese are calling out Western hypocrisy, Brazil and South Africa are refusing to cut Russia off. People like you think anyone the Western liberal elite doesn't like is a "pariah state", but the West doesn't get to decide that any more, that's the reason for this hysterical reaction being ginned up from people like you. And tell me, you must be a committed anti-war activist right, not just some deranged media programmed lemming? So you must have been railing against what the Saudis have been doing in Yemen for the last five years, right?

  277. Foreign policy isn't under the control of British voters. American government decides.

  278. Yep. Apparently you'd need to spend 4x current total global gdp to produce enough battery storage for three days of power.

  279.  @evolassunglasses4673  Well put.

  280. Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister? Yeah Britain being ruled by an Indian, really "conservative"
    3
  281. Yeah this seemed almost like a paid propaganda piece. This is a guy who trades off his reputation as a tough interviewer.
    3
  282. Yep, don't even need to raise the education budget, just redirect money spent on admin etc straight to paying teachers a much higher salaries.

  283. "There' no way you can attribute Putin's war against Ukraine to what the United States has done" Amazing how he said that with zero shame.

  284. No asking why it's such a "Labour city"
    3
  285. I went to public school, we had a CCF where we were..."taught to use kalashnikovs" (i.e. SA80s). The level of self righteous hypocrisy and demonization of Russia in the West is pathetic (even more so by Western conservatives, who are essentially doing the bidding of a Left that hates them only slightly less than it hates the Russians, by trying to destroy one of the few countries that hasn't knelt before the woke agenda). As the head of MI6 said on the day the Ukraine war began "we're stand with Ukraine because Russia is anti-LGBTQ" lol.
    3
  286.  @CH-qw8gb  Everything you said had to go back to the Soviet Union though, that state is gone, Russia after 1990 gave Eastern European states independence by choice (it didn't have to, it had the power to crush them). Post-Soviet Russia tried to befriend the West, irony of ironies it actually believed Western propaganda and thought it meant them well once communism had ended, and the West responded responded by looting Russia economically, and humiliating it geopolitically. The NATO intervention in the Balkans was an explicit "fuck you" to both Russian and China, to assert the USAs new "unipolar moment".

  287.  @bennym5244  But he's going to make it easier for the aristocracy to gender transition their titles! ( that was a joke, actually literally the only exception to the sex change laws they were crafting was hereditary titles, funny how the aristocracy get a pass)

  288. To be fair, a lot of the conservative attitude is just to complain and try to shut them down. Maybe it would be more productive if we actually started and ran our own charities that encouraged more conservative values? Here's one for example - what about a pro marriage charity that tried to help poorer couples get married and stay married and work through their problems? This is a "social good" that would qualify as charitable work, but with a right wing skew to it. What about a charity aimed at preserving traditional British culture? Again, it's easily qualified as a social good, but is more right wing. And leftists always say that it's ok for charities to be "political", as long as they aren't "party political". The truth is, a large part of why the charity sector is controlled by the left is that we've chosen not to even bother to try to compete with them for it.
    3
  289. You totally failed to challenge the Church of England representative about the fact that the Church of England is now a leftist ideological activist group, and that it's attempts to "stay relevant" by abandoning it's core values is actually what has caused it to lose relevance.
    3
  290. Better than a unified and functional enemy. Similar to how Israel has sought to destabilize Syria and Lebanon, because however much of an annoyance, it's less trouble than a united country opposed to them.
    3
  291. The Spectator's Youtube channel has really exposed just how much of a bunch of neoliberal/neocon globalists they are. What Putin is "up to", is that Ukraine was engaging in a massive build up of forces and preparing an attack on the breakaway Eastern provinces and he moved forces to counter it. And yet the likes of the Spectator and the rest of the mainstream media portray it as "oh, why are the Russians being so provocative and engaging in this confrontational behaviour for no reason?"
    3
  292. Theyve literally rewritten their constitution (created for the by Amerocan liberal academics), to allow racially targeted seizure of white people's land. How is that not good enough evidence of persecution lol? (And repulsively the Conservative government here supported it)
    3
  293. Do you think she cares about the actual truth lol?
    3
  294. The Spectator have really embarrassed themselves (as has most other British "conservative" media, e.g. Telegraph, The Sun) with their ridiculous neocon line. I understand why left wing neoliberal globalists hate Putin for defying America's woke empire, but rather pathetic that "mainstream" conservatives follow along with this garbage and support this insane neocon project of maintaining neoliberal globalist hegemony. Russia could be a useful natural ally for the UK, both Britain and Russia are on the fringes of the EU and under threat from a hostile bloc that seeks to expand and dominate the entire continent (now trying to absorb Ukraine), but the British establishment is still pro EU and totally aligned with it even as it humiliates us over Northern Ireland. We also have complementary economies and no competing territorial interests. The British public never got any public debate on making Russia our number 1 enemy, they simply get brainwashed with anti-Russian propaganda by liberal media year in and year out.
    2
  295. Lol, the Spectator is trying to say that Churchill is good because he was actually a leftist? Utterly risible.
    2
  296. It's amazing. So Russians support Russia in a war because they're brainwashed fools, but Europeans and Americans arrive at their own opinions through individual moral analysis rather than due to Western propaganda do they? If that were the case they'd have been equally enraged by the war in Yemen, where hundreds of thousands people have been killed by the Saudis. But they aren't, because Saudi Arabia is a Western ally, so the media has instructions not to rile them up over it.
    2
  297. The Ukrainians beat the Russian army in the field? Lol what? The Ukrainians have never won a stand-up fight with the Russians. Ever. The places Russia withdrew from like Kherson were strategic fighting withdrawals with very few casualties from areas where they were overextended at the beginning of the war due to the tiny army they initially sent in.
    2
  298. 21:54 Glad he implcitly called out the hypocrisy of the woman who spoke before him. Seeing Western liberals talk about how "China is exporting censorship and closing down debate" is just laughable when people like them have done far more of that in the West. She says "if there's something going wrong in society, the instinct is to suppress it" about China, but the same thing seems applicable to Keir Starmer.
    2
  299. IMF is predicting Russia will grow faster than the UK next year, guess this clown didn't get the memo about this "collapse".
    2
  300. I guess Putin "perceived" the 12 secret CIA bases built along the Russian border with Ukraine. And the billions of dollars of weapons the West flooded Ukraine with.
    2
  301. Exactly. It's amazing how dumb these people are. It's like the companies are run by people who actively dislike everything about them. If I was in charge I'd start by pulling out every iconic Jaguard design, then hand them to talented designers and say "take this, and build it into a new car that's retro futuristic and cool.". What's Fiat's most successful car of the last 30 years? The 500, where they did exactly this. The only thing unique about Jaguar is their history, so why jettison their unique selling point?
    2
  302. Pirate and a half gentleman servant-leader who knows how to lose friends and alientate voters.
    2
  303. The idea that the democratic process hasn't been damaged is hilariously delusional. Look at the new polling that shows a huge proportion of American voters think that there has been substantial electoral fraud.
    2
  304. No live chat on your livestreams, always a mark of an establishment shill channel. Why don't you want your viewers talking to each other? Don't want them to get off the mainstream conservative reservation eh?
    2
  305. Lol at this twat Forsyth saying we can't let Russia change the boundaries of Europe by force. Huh, weird, because I remember NATO invading and occupying the FYR in the 90s, then breaking it up into Western puppet states designed to destabilize the Balkans and weaken Serbia as Russia's main ally in the region. We did all this while claiming to be Russia's new ally after communism fell, but they quickly began to realize what Western "friendship" meant. (Total subservience or destruction)
    2
  306. The thing is, this will be trated by the same liberal traitors that run the Tory party into the ground as a rejection of Conservatism and a need for the party to become even more liberal. When in fact, the reason they're losing so badly is because they've basically turned into Labour.
    2
  307. "criminal regime in Iran" lol what does that mean? Doesn't bow to Israel? No, the crime here was an illegal act of aggression against a sovereign country for exercising its entirely legal right under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to engage in nuclear enrichment. Until a couple of weeks ago both the US intelligence community and the IAEA both agreed that Iran had no nuclear weapons program, so the stated justification for this attack is both a lie and not a justification anyway even if true. (When will we see the US and EU supported bombing of Israel, since it's a country that actually has an illegal undeclared nuclear weapons program, based off os nuclear secrets and materials it stole from America, and has illegally invaded and occupied multiple of its neighbouring countries). Trump has humiliated himself by crawling on all fours for his Jewish donors and the neocons.
    2
  308. Yep, a mockumentary of this guy's parliamentary office would be hilarious.
    2
  309. It's not a democracy if the government is trying to control what you think.
    2
  310. "Clearly the War isn't going as Putin planned at the beginning" she says smugly. Could you point us to these plans please? Western journalists love repeating this line but they can never seems to provide us with any evidence that it's true. Where are the internal Russian military planning documents you have access to? Or the public statement from Russian officials?
    2
  311. Yep, amazing that youtube commenters understand this but our own government doesn't. The problem could be fixed overnight of they weren't so weak.
    2
  312. Mearsheismer is only controversial with neocon globalists and their useful idiots.
    2
  313. "Misinformation regarding the Syrian war" you mean opposing the American and British regime change efforts to get rid of Asaad by starting a civil war that killed hundreds of thousands of people? No wonder they didn't want people being able to dissent about that.
    2
  314. Our elites are anti white globalists, that's why they don't stop the boats.
    2
  315. Indeed. Here in the UK the propaganda is so pervasive that most people have never even heard anything to conradict the narrative, and become enraged at any dissent. It's probably easier for people outside the West to see it because they aren't being propagandized to the same degree.
    2
  316. People keep saying "who else could he have been referring to?" I dunno, the 25 or so of the countries in Europe that haven't fought a war in 30 or 40 years? He was in Iraq, he knows very well the role the UK played there, as well as Afghanistan. The people pretending he was talking about Britain are liars.
    2
  317. Embarrassing isn't it? The way the entire British mainstream media has closed ranks to propagandize over this conflict has been quite disturbing. Shows what an illusion our supposed "pluralistic society" is. Although at least the UK isn't arresting people for challenging the narrative like the Germans are.
    2
  318. "hurr durr, one side violates the terms of service at a much higher rate than the other, that's why they get suspended more" Yes you disingenuous piece of garbage, because those terms of service were written by leftists in order to stop people saying things they didn't like.
    2
  319. Yep, literally just propaganda "gangsters", "criminal regime" etc, no facts, just hypocrisy and insults.
    2
  320. Lol how he couldn't answer that Andrew Tate question, another stupid useful idiot for the left.
    2
  321. What are these "Russian lies"? Is it things like supporting Brexit? Since we've been told that was a Russian plot. Trump? That was the Russians too we hear. Basically anything that opposes neoliberal globalism. That's why this shill is just the same as the government.
    2
  322. Farage's behaviour towards Lowe has significantly lowered my opinion of him. People who put personal power games above the national interest are not a good thing. The mark of a real leadership is to be willing to work with people who you don't personally like but are capable and share your goals. I'm sure Lowe is arrogant and abrasive and difficult to work with, but so what? He is clearly capable and driven and cares about this country.
    2
  323. So you're saying that Britona of immigrant descent should be aiding with the interests of foreigners over the British people? You realize you're making the far right's argument lol?
    2
  324. It's funny that Dale is so put of touch that he thinks young conservatives are to the left of older ones.
    2
  325. Best Korea has joined the chat
    2
  326. The conservatives have betrayed their voters and this country, what Labour is going to do to Britain is their fault.
    2
  327. just for regular Spectator readers, these comments are all scams.
    2
  328.  @garymitchell5899  Why should we be on either side? The fact that you're so gaslit and propagandists that you couldn't even consider such a possibility is revealing.
    2
  329. That NYT guy is such a shill, real whistleblowers don't tend to be feted by the establishment and media.
    2
  330. Yep, and they actually pull out the "is it just that women are amazing and men can't handle it?" line. In a genuinely "non discriminatory" world, men would be obliterating women. But we don't have actual "equality", we have a system that is stacked in women's favour at every level, right upt to the Tory A-List that stacked the party with women MPs.
    2
  331. Yep, it's jusy fundamental dishonesty and weakness on the part of governments right and left (Tories unwilling to cut spending sufficiently, and Labour unwilling to raises taxes sufficiently for their respective visions), and a public that forces them to do so to win elections. A serious dictatorial leader (funnily enough the reason Russia hasn't fallen over due to sanctions is Putin painstakingly paid off and reduced their public external debt to zero) could deal with the issue. Cut spending and/or raise taxes until the dficit is eliminated, then inflate away the debt with QE and in a few years it would be gone.
    2
  332. "Russia could have negotiated with the West" Lol what? It tried and America's response was literally "we won't negotiate with you, you don't have legitimate security interests, we will do what we want and you can't stop us"
    2
  333. Compare it to the 300 billion a year spent on welfare. Imagine if instead of vaporizing taxpayer money on current spending which produces zero long term benefit to the country (once someone spends their welfare payment, it's gone), imagine it was redirected into capital expenditure. Instead of 1 billion to keep a crappy hindred year old blast furnace going, we could spend 25 billion and build the largest and most advanced steel production capability in all of Europe, generating vast numbers of jobs, and an industry that's competitive enough to satisfy both domestic production and export demand.
    2
  334. This is bullshit excuses from the liberal morons (like Nelson) who went along with this obvious poison pill from Blair, that was designed to tear Britain apart so it could be absorbed by the EU as a less powerful force than it would be if left whole. (remember the plan to establish regional assemblies in England too?) If Britain had real leaders (it hasn't, for generations), they would simply abolish the devolved governments by act of Parliament and give the other nations of the union a "stay or go" referendum.
    2
  335. Cool it with the anti semitic remarks 😂
    2
  336. Andrew Tate is popular because our society is utterly feminised.
    2
  337. Russia just overtook Germany to become Europe's largest economy, Putin paid off Russia's national debt, rebuilt its industries, and created a stable and vastly more prosperous society than it was when he came to power. And this clown is still playing the "Russia is going to collapse any day now, you'll see!" card, even as he acknowledges these claims have been made for years and never come true.
    2
  338. Why is there a pretence that The Spectator is a conservative publication? Kate Andrews wants us to be "open minded progressives"? What a joke lol.
    2
  339. yep, it was less obvious when The Spectator was purely a magazine, but the Youtube channel, where they speak a bit more freely, makes it very obvious.
    2
  340.  @jameswarren8164  yep, just a bunch of neoliberal neocons
    2
  341. The Awkward thing is that the fundamental weakness of the Tories and the sort of people who work at The Spectator, is that they're obsessed with being high status themselves, and the left uses this to manipulate them into not actually being conservative and supporting leftist ideology. Against open borders? what are you, poor or something? Don't want transgenderism taught in state schools? Couldn't get the little one into Harrow, eh? etc etc.
    2
  342.  @marisaera2353  Exceptions that prove the rule. Kellie as treated almost as a crazy person by "polite society".
    2
  343. Of course not.

  344. I love how this is supposed to be a debate but both agree that no one can just decide not to be vaccinated and that's the end of it, instead those who resist need to be worn down with propaganda until they give in.

  345. Things are going to turn in Donbass in a few weeks and the Russians will start losing? Mike Martin is a clown.
    2
  346. From the "Tony Blair Institute" - globalist parasites like this are the enemies of all free nations and peoples. When they say "force for good" they mean "force for implementing thr authoritarian neolib dystopia we want to foist on you"
    2
  347. "Anti Russian revolt" Why should a few thousand left liberal protesters in the capital city overrule the democratically elected government of Georgia's legislative agenda? And why are the "sovereignty respectoors" in Westerm governments threatening and intimidating the government of a sovereign country as to its domestic political program? And why are these protesters and Western governments so obsessed with concealing which Georgian NGOs are foreign funded and exactly where that funding comes from? And why is the supposedly conservative Spectator so aligned with the agenda of left liberal globalismt subversion? Why do so many Western conservatives support the agenda of the left when it comes to foreign policy?
    2
  348. Agreed. The lack of a genuinely self interested anti-neocon right is one of the main problems with British conservatism. The Republicans in the US might still be dominated by neocon warmongers, but at least they've had a significant influx of "America First" candidates since Trump. In Britain on the other hand, I can't think of a single Tory MP who isn't a cheerleader for the American Empire. (Since that's what the "collective West" really is. We should focus most of our military spending on the Royal Navy and use it to protect British shipping (which we should refocus on) but aside from that we only need an air force and army designed for prevention against invasion. A defence policy that rakes advantage of being an island nation.
    2
  349. The ANC also intentionally abolished the Boer commandos that used or provide security for rural communities, which is again evidence of this being a coordinated plan. Similarly they are also are trying to disarm private security forces. The claim that crime "just happens" and it isn't targeted doesn't really hold up when the government specifically acts to undermine the only defences against it that white people have.
    2
  350. The Spectator are just part of the same globalist network as Labour et al. This whole "green energy" thing is a con. It will massively enrich the leftist state by raising taxes under the pretext that it's to "protect the environment", and corrupt businessmen by subsidising useless power generation methods like wind and solar. If global warming was actually a major concern that we simply wanted to address, there wouldn't need to be massive redistribution of wealth, tax rises, funneling of money etc, we'd just build nuclear reactors and the issue would be solved.
    2
  351. What a lying prick that guy is. Talking about Russia pulling out of arms limitations treaties when it is America who began that process. Claiming NATO didn't station substantial forces east of Berlin when there are American nuclear launchers in Eastern Europe.
    2
  352. The West spent decades not just not supporting, but actively working to destroy a white ethnostate in Africa. The Jewish ethnostate, meanwhile, despite the gaslighting of this video, has overwhelming support from Western governments. Apartheid South Africa killed less black people in 40 years than Israel killed Palestinians over the last few days. It is remembered as evil, the question is actually why does the West support Israel so much?
    2
  353.  @furtwangler5283  very good.
    2
  354. Muh counter offensive lol, would be nice to have an alternative to neocon madness in British conservatism. Ukraine is losing, and these delusional clowns are still trying to convince the British public of the opposite. Why are we desrroying our economy for American globohomo imperialism?
    2
  355. Great Leap Backward here we come.
    2
  356. Yep they don't get feted by the entire establishment.
    2
  357. Yep, seems like we just need to replace them, they never learn.
    2
  358. "Jacob Heilbrunn is the editor of The National Interest, a foreign policy magazine that was founded by Irving Kristol in 1985"..."In 2008 his book They Knew They Were Right: the Rise of the Neocons was published by Doubleday." - yeah this guy is a repulsive little Israel Firster shill. Is Spectator going to provide any dissent against this garbage?
    2
  359. This is what American leftists do, they secretly fly and bus migrants arriving at the southern border all over America, so that they can make the demographic transformation as imperceptible as possible versus migrants congregating and demographically transforming specific areas. "Boiling the frog" strategy. These people hate Britain and hate the ethnic British peoples.
    2
  360. I don't care about feminism or trans lol, they can go at each other.
    2
  361. Just to note. The Indian government would refer to Rishi Sunak as a "Non Resident Indian", or "NRI" - so they define someone who is not Indian by birth, or citizenship, or residency, as Indian, purely on the basis of his ethnic ancestry being Indian. Similarly, the Chinese diaspora across South-East Asia, be it in Malaysia or Vietnam, are referred to by the Chinese government as "Overseas Chinese", again, they refer to people who were born and raised and have citizenship in Malaysia, as Chinese. Why? Because they have Chinese blood, so they remain Chinese no matter where they were born or what citizenship they hold. No one calls these countries racist, and yet if we use a similar (actually less stringent standard, since we're not denying them British civic identity, merely reserving our own ethnic nations of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish to our kin), we are.
    2
  362. Could she be any more self righteous? Typical RINO liar and hypocrite, repeating every inane fabrication about Trump from the left. And Biden is reuniting the nation? You attack Trump for demonizing immigrants but you have nothing to say about how Biden demonized white people, about how he literally celebrated their demographic replacement. Biden is a voice for civility? Yeah, telling members of the public to shut up for questioning him, telling the President of the United States to shut up, telling the President of the United States that he's going to beat him up... real voice for civility there. Guess what Kate, you're a left liberal globalist, there was never anything right wing or conservative about you, that's why you're voting Democrat.
    2
  363. And also if we brought it back we could invest in advanced heavy industry, that is far more automated and efficient.
    2
  364. This is the real point. Whatever you think of Truss, she was coup'd for actually trying to change things. The Tory and Labour establishment are now in total agreement on basically everything, continued managed decline into woke globalist neocon/neoliberal dystopia.
    2
  365. Not a fan of Douglas' leftover neocon posturing. The fact that the left liberal establishment of Britain and America hates Russia so much makes me like it
    2
  366. "Will Putin surrender" this is the trouble when neoliberal/neocon globalists imbibe too much of their own propaganda. Totally out of touch with reality. Russia is taking Ukraine to pieces, and the West isn't going to be able to stop it. This pathetic attempt to maintain Western hegemony by provoking Russia into war and "showing the world who's boss" has utterly failed. The all out financial war has failed, Russia is predicted to grow faster than the UK next year, instead we've deindustrialized Europe. The kinetic war has failed, Russia has absorbed all the wonder weapons the West has provided and is pushing forward. The diplomatic war has failed, the rising world, China, Iran, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia etc have all openly defied Western sanctions and ridiculed our moral posturing. Edit: just a stupid title, actually the conversation was one of the first in Western media that is acknowledging the reality of how the war is going.
    2
  367. The Telegraph are establishment shills, disinformation used to be something carried out by hostile states there is no "reasonable" use of it as a peetext to censor your own population.
    2
  368. What exactly does Crimea or Ukraine have to do with us? Why is our defence spending focused around defending the same EU that has tried to make us into a vassal state? We're an island, our defence spending should be on the Navy, to defend the British isles and British shipping around the world, we need very little else. And indeed, back before our defence was run by neocon warmongers, that's exactly how our spending looked for most of the last several hundred years.
    2
  369. So a smug virtue signal from a faux Republican, then a middle class twat tour of Sweden that contains a disavowal of the Nazis and Nietzsche's sister, but zero mention of the third world replacement of the Swedish population.
    2
  370. Yep, just a lazy and unbalanced discussion.
    2
  371. "Threatening to cut off grain exports from Odessa" Stop lying lol, the Russians have been clear that they will not block grain exports, and then when Ukraine was told, OK, then export the grain, they refused and said they needed to keep Odessa mined to defend against a possible Russian attack.
    2
  372. Look at the downvote ration and ask yourselves why you're so totally out of touch with your viewers. (clue; you're acting as shills for the globalist/corporate establishment rather than actual conservatives)
    2
  373. Yes, Putin is cornered, that's why Ukraine's foothold in Kursk just collapsed and Russian forces are pushing forward across the front lines every day. What nonsense lol. Russia already said that they're not interested in a ceasefire that lets Ukraine rearm and stabilize its defences, they're only interested in negotiating a permanent peace settlement.
    2
  374. Lol, you get the most establishment shill conservative journalist in Britain to comment on right wing populism?
    2
  375. Yeah of course, and even her supposed opponent also uses "but it's bad for ethnic minorities" as her strongest argument.
    2
  376. Yeah I remember reading years ago that a vaccine for the common cold (a type of corona virus) wasn't possible. And yet suddenly it is possible apparently.
    2
  377. Every war is WW2, every foreign leader who opposes us is Hitler, every attempt at negotiation is appeasement.
    2
  378. The text of the convention is worthless too. E.g. the free speech protections have so many exceptions that they are worthless.
    2
  379. This is pathetic. A virus with a 99.7% survival rate and the most disproportionate government response in history, and the best "analysis" you provide is "This is the new normal", absolutely no challenge to the fundamental premise of all this.
    2
  380. Killing innocent civilians on a bridge that links Russia to a territory peopled almost entirely by ethnic Russians who despise the "Kyiv" government and want nothing to do with it. What a heroic cause the West supports! For democracy!
    2
  381. Zero interest in "defending" the EU lol.
    2
  382. People in the West don't seem to understand that "narratives" don't win wars. The massive advantage Russia has in men and materiel and industrial capabilities and resources isn't any different because the Ukrainians captured some territory.
    2
  383. Because they aren't journalists either, they're neoliberal propagandists. They haven't been actual conservatives for quite some time.
    2
  384. Voters are not voting for the left lol, theyre voting against the Tories.
    2

  386.  @oliversmith4130  This is what's even dumber, the fact that people can just leave and pay nothing encourages the educated to get a free education then emigrate.. However the main issue is just state funding (via "loans" that aren't really loans). When I was interviewing at Oxford, we had a presentation from an American venture capital firm that was literally offering to fund our degree costs, provide us with a stipend etc, in exchange for future promises of banking relationships etc - because guess what, the market knows Oxbridge degrees are actually worth something and private capital is willing to pay for them. If people had to get actual private loans for degrees, instead of the same offer of state backed loans funding whether you're studying lesbian dance theory at Liverpool Solent Media University or electrical engineering at Imperial College, then we wouldn't be funding worthless degrees.

  388. I don't agree with Galloway on most issues, but it's remarkable seeing the establishment freakout about his daring to beat the ConLab duopoly. The Prime Minister is literally giving a national press conference to call him winning an election an "attack on democracy". Both Tories and Labour are utterly out of touch with the general public in their unquestioning shilling for the Israel lobby.

  396.  @entropy5431  No, he's right. Middle class in America is analagous to working class in the UK. The aristocracy most certainly do still exist, they're just intentionally invisible to the plebs. That's why even the richest working or middle class person (e.g. say a footballer or a businessman) is still not considered upper class.

  397. The point is that if the Tories told the real truth they'd have to admit that this isn't really a democracy and they aren't really in power. They simply aren't allowed to stop the boats. They are nothing more than controlled opposition, a safety valve, with no real power to alter the direction of travel of our society. They run as the party of immigration restriction for 70 years, yet immigration goes up whoever is in government. More immigrants in the last 20 years than the previous 2,000.

  404.  @cloudstrife206  That's actually not true, that's just Western propaganda. Ukraine has a massive (Biggest in Europe except Russia) army, funded, equipped and trained by NATO (so easily as good as Russia's), and Russia has only deployed about 200k men into Ukraine (versus Ukraine's 260k military), even though normal doctrine says attackers need a 3-1 advantage to win. The Russians were also extremely restrained early in the invasion (they dropped less bombs in the first month than the US did in Iraq in the first day of their invasion). And yet despite all that, the Russians are winning, so the idea that they have somehow "failed so massively" is simply incorrect.
    2
  405. True. These people are all totally clueless about what's actually going on here.

  415. The simplest way to look at this, is that he's been a prominent businessman and celebrity for 50 years, and yet the "rule of law" advocates only suddenly discovered all these crimes AFTER he was president and people wanted to stop him running and winning again. How dishonest do you have to be to see this as anything other than politically motivated? I even saw some establishment shill on Sky News say that this "proves the law is impartial", but of course it's actually the opposite, they aren't prosecuting him despite the fact that he was president, they're prosecuting him BECAUSE he was president, and they don't want him to win again.

  418. American Jews have played a clever game for years where they've supported affirmative action quotas that harmed white gentiles, all the while suffering no harm themselves, (because they could take up a massive share of the white quota for themselves while further harming white gentiles. e.g. the white quota is 50%, of admissions, but Jews take half that quota, thereby being 15 times overrepresented, and meaning that white gentiles are massively underrepresented, at half of their proportion in the general population.) If Jews got their own quota, where being 2.5% of the population they got 2.5% of Ivy League places, affirmative action would be abolished over night.

  427. The guy talking about Russian negotiation is just a straight up liar. Saying that Russia has had to adjust it's aims because the War has "gone so poorly". That it planned to occupy the entire country but has had to give up that aim. No, that's the lie that people like you told from the start, and now you say its failed because it hasn't done something it never set out to do except in your made up propaganda. Its aims literally remain exactly the same, it hasn't given up on demilitarizing Ukraine at all, it's currently obliterating the Ukrainian military in the East while Western journalists studiously pretend not to notice.
    2
  428. The Russians are winning handily, they have been the entire time. The problem is that Western politicians and media actually believe their own nonsense propaganda about how the Russians are "bogged down" and Putin is just about to be overthrown as the Russian economy collapses.

  436.  @edgar-valentine  I didn't say I would have, I'm just making the point that you don't get to pretend a government policy decision wasn't a choice. Whether it was the right one we'll see, but of it wasn't then those responsible will not be able to pretend it wasn't. Comparisons between comparable US states like Florida and California don't seem to show any relationships between lockdowns and number of people killed. And another point that isn't made when sceptics of lockdowns are painted as crazy fringe individuals, is that before the hysteria over Covid, when Western governments were doing dispassionate pandemic preparations, lockdowns were explicitly ruled out as not a good policy approach.

  439. And the other thing is that with automation, robotics, AI etc, it's the most advanced countries that will control it, not the "cheap labour" poor ones. The Chinese are smart enough to understand it and make sure the advanced manufacturing gets built there, not here, so in a few decades they're both a rich country AND control all of the world's high tech manufacturing.

  451. There's more to the world than lazy Thatcherism or old school state socialism. For stategic industries, what about initial government funding to build them out (We spend £300 billion a year on welfare current spending, imagine if we took £25 billion every year from that to spend on a new megaproject, that we then spun off as partially state owned / partially worker owned self financing corporations? One year's allocation of the 25 billion would finance the largest and most advanced steel production facility in Europe. Next year's 25 billion would finance the building of a new megaport with more capacity than Rotterdam. After a decade you'd have 10 megaprojects that would transform the country's strategic posture and economic potential, and yet the same politicians that will happily pay 3 trillion for a decade's worth of benefits after which you have literally NOTHING to show for it, would never fund what I'm talking about. Why?

  452. "Ukraine was not on its way to NATO". Lol.

  453. Yeah, Putin "wrecked Russia's prospects" by refusing to bow to America's fading neoliberal globalist hegemony. Pretty sure Russia is going to prosper by aligning with the rising rest of the world versus a West that is collapsing in on itself and is in precipitous relative decline under a corrupt elite that despises Western civilization, culture and history. Despite this clown's lies, straightforward facts shows the opposite to what he says, Russia passed Germany in PPP GDP recently to become Europe's largest economy. Looks like the Europe wrecked its own prospects by cutting itself from Russia's resource and industrial production.

  476. These polls are meaningkess, since the public have no clue about what's actually happening. Even the framing of "should we impose retaliatory tariffs" - as if America started this and we are deciding whether or not to "defend ourselves". No, these tariffs are American retaliation FOR TARIFFS OTHER COUNTRIES PUT ON THEM. America has announced reciprocal tariffs - if you drop your tariffs on them, they won't put in tariffs against you, which is entirely fair. For years they've just put up with other countries putting tariffs on them without retaliating. And for the UK we're in a good position because we actually have a balanced trade reltationship with them so it should be easy to negotiate dropping US-UK tariffs pretty quickly. (which means these tariffs are a relative win for us, since they will advantage us versus the EU)

  477. Would've been great if "conservatives" could have relied on a mysterious thing called "the free market" instead of trying to run the car market as a frucking centrally planned command economy. If electric cars can fill specific niches, and eventually overtake petrol cars...then people will buy them as and when it suits them, according to their budgets and needs, and the transition will happen in the optimal way. No one needed the government to outlaw horses by 1925 to get people to transition to motorcars.

  479.  @AnnFBug  Yes that would work eventually but as you say, only if all further immigration was completely stopped and different groups adopted a unified culture. However it was the incomers culture which triumphed eventually when they came in large numbers, not the native one, and the native ethnic groups were humiliated and abused for decades or centuries after the arrival of the incomers (the furthest echoes of that exist to this day, with the nations of the Celtic fringe still having a degree of resentment towards the English). And of course there's always a tipping point where the numbers of incomers is so large that they aren't assimilated by the natives, but instead essentially destroy them. See for example the native Americans versus Europeans.

However the simple fact is that the Tories COULD have easily solved the illegal boats but Tory MPs WOULDN'T DO IT, not "couldn't", WOULDN'T, because they are liberal globalists who want Britain to stay under the jurisdiction of a foreign court. They could have drawn up a one page "The Human Rights Act Repeal Bill", passed it using their 80 seat majority, and then deported every single person crossing on a small boat. Labour couldn't have stopped them, the courts couldn't have stopped them, the ECHR couldn't have stopped them, "lefty lawyers" couldn't have stopped them. BUT TORY MPs WOULDN'T DO IT.

  507. Did all America's and Britain's invasions of countries on the other side of the world over the last few decades prove that they were not "rational actors"? If not why not? Russia's invasion of a country on their borders, through which they've been attacked and nearly destroyed by Western powers multiple times in the last couple of centuries, and which was being turned into an armed camp for a military alliance designed to destroy them, (and which has moved continuously towards them for the last 30 years as it claimed it was a "purely defensive alliance") seems a lot more rational than invading Iraq ever did.

  514. Lol, making yourself dependent on the cheapest gas and oil in the world, and exporting to the biggest economy in the world is bad according to Andrew? Only if you're a psychopathic neocon moron who wants to start World War 3. It's the globalist neocons / neoliberals who are starting a new Cold War, not Russia and China, who are perfectly happy to do business with us when we stop trying to encircle and subvert and eventually destroy them in the name of BLM and LGBT. (As the head of MI6 literally said when the war in Ukraine broke out)

  515. Exactly, that's the fiction. No one ever spent 10 minutes on for example, moving our education system entirely away from one based on age to one where it was completely normal to reskill and do a new qualification etc at any age, it's still one where "adult learners" are treated as sort of weirdos etc. Thatcher was recorded as saying at the time "we can just put them all on welfare", it's ridiculous.

  517. The irony is that the average Ukrainian thinks they're fighting for Ukrainian nationalism, but by siding with NATO and the EU they're actually turning their country over to massive third world immigration, sex change operations for their kids, and mandatory lessons on white privilege and how they're to blame for the Holocaust. Poor fools.

  518. Tugendhat is a neocon shill. Why exactly should Western forces prop up a useless Afghan puppet government which will fall within days of the last American troops leaving. And the only justification was some crap about making Afghanistan a multicultural feminist liberal democracy lol.

  519. Yep. INCREDIBLE place in many ways. And when you say "you can buy a house" people here wouldn't believe it. You can get something run down in a beautiful rural area or a nice quiet urban neighbourhood for 15k. And something modest and nice for 50k. 250k gets you a big house on a decent amount of land that would cost you over a million in the UK.

  521. No it isn't. But the so called right has already accepted the left's moral dominance and their idea that equality is good while hierarchy is bad. When you accept that premise then the obvious logical next step once you accept all other forms of equality (gender, racial, sexuality etc), is equality between species. This is the product of the post 1945 right's total capitulation on the issue that is literally the defining difference between right and left. A real right is against equality and for hierarchy. If you look back to the French Revolution, British political posters literally showed the evil values the French supported such as equality, and the good values the British supported such as hierarchy. The right wasn't afraid to moraloze its values the same way the left does in today's world.

  522. This is laughable propaganda. And of course when it's proven to be so, the likes of The Spectator will pretend they never pushed it, because it would expose their lack of journalistic integrity.

  524. When people try that "what even is English culture?" trick like Gove did... ask any foreigners who comes here, or visit Bangladesh and Kenya and Vietnam - anyone who isn't an dishonest liberal propagandist can see that there is a distinctive English culture that informs our entire way of life, just as every other nation has a distinctive culture.

  525. Indeed, neocon liberal clowns

  527. Russia seems like far less of a problem to me than woke Western governments that actively hate their own peoples and cultures and are seeking to turn them into neo-feudal serfs while importing millions of people from the third world to replace them. The Cold War is over you cretins, it seems like the reason Russia is painted as the enemy now is that it's one of the few countries that hasn't bent the knee to the globalists, idiotic Western establishment neo-cons are just serving the left by pushing this narrative.

  532.  @jorother9250  Sure, so not a journalist. Amazing how so many professions and society as a whole have just unapologetically dropped the standards that used to separate enlightenment Western civilization from the rest of the world and history. Even as recently as the first Gulf War the BBC refused to be "pro British" in its coverage, instead trying to report objectively and neutrally. Today our society is full of self righteous zealots who think that all standards of honestly and objectivity can be thrown out the window because the side you support are "the goodies". British "journalists" have acted as propagandists for the Ukrainian side, not just providing entirely one sided coverage to brainwash morons like you, but actively egging on and badgering pliticians to escalate the conflict "why aren't you sending more weapons?" etc. That's why you're all so enraged now, becaus your slava Ukraini fantasy has collided with the real world and been shattered into pieces.

  539. This covid discussion is a not seeing the forest for the trees. The point needs to be made that the government action over this pandemic is VASTLY out of proportion to any other pandemic in history. Turning into a biosecurity state and taking out enormous debts that will damage the country for decades over a virus that even without a vaccine only killed 0.3% of the population. The Spectator is a joke.

  545.  @freebornjohn2687  Didn't advocate it as our system of government, just a statement of fact, as they say during the discussion, democratic government creates short termists who raid capital spending and long term investment budgets to win the next popularity contest. And most private corporations, the most effective wealth and productivity machines in human history, are effectively run as dictatorships (with oversight and a right of removal if they mess up)

  548.  @DS9TREK  And that's why they need to be destroyed. And Churchill was a corrupt drunk who forced us into a war that destroyed the Empire he claimed to be defending while actually serving the people who financed his feckless lifestyle and paid off his debts in exchange for his warmongering.

  549. Of course, he's a neocon, and as Cooper discussed, Churchill is used to cast every opponent of the West as Hitler.

  550.  @N330AA  So America literally threatening to start WW3 if the Soviet Union didn't take its missiles out of Cuba was just a "pretext" was it? There are literally proposals (bu US military established thinktanks) on how America could get Ukraine into NATO so that Russia would bankrupt itself due to the increased costs of defending its incredibly long vulnerable border with Ukraine from forward deployed US forces and missiles. That's not a "pretext". The arrogance and delusion of people like you is really amazing "how dare anyone be bthered by potentially having the nuclear missiles of the most powerful country in the world, with a noted history of regime change and invasion, three minutes flight time from their centre of government"

  555. Russia didn't retreat, stop lying. It literally agreed to withdraw its forces, then did what it promised, that's not a retreat.

  562. Pathetic that you're giving such an insipid response to a far left anti white concept like critical race theory. And don't reply "we're just giving it an intellectual analysis". You'd never say "what really is fascism, and is there anything we can learn from it?" on this show, you'd be squealing about how it was pure evil and you'd never give a platform to evil right wing extremism. Why then is this supposedly conservative outfit more willing to platform discussion of left wing extremist ideologies than right wing extremist ideologies?
    1
  563. This is a laughable lie lol, the Tories have governed as new Labour, and are led by social liberals, how is their unpopularity the fault of the nationalist right? And nationalists are much more likely to support infrastructure spending than neoliberal centrists.
    1
  564. lol, driving Russia into China's arms by waging all out economic war against it is "freeing up America to focus on China"? Amazing that this retarded neocon ideology is embedded in Britain evern more depply than it is in America. What a f*cking idiot, we've literally succeeded in making in uniting most of Eurasia against us. The Chinese and Russians are now more united than ever, Turkey and Saudia Arabia are peeling off from alignment with the West, India is increasingly doing so as well. Yeah, big "win" there.

  565. But you see, Ukraine is a liberal democracy that respects individual rights and the rule of law, that's why we're on their side. Therefore it's ok for them to murder anyone who criticizes the Ukrainian government.

(And I say this as someone who loves the West and wants it to thrive, while ironically most of our current leaders despise Western civilization)

  571.  @Cassp0nk  "has no trade" lol, the psychotic arrogance of neoloberal Western globalists really incredible. Guess what clown, America, Europe, Aus, Japan etc are not "the world". Most of "the world" is totally refusing to play along with America's bullying attempts and financial warfare, including the world's two most populous countries, China and India. The Western finance ministers threw a little tantrum last week and stormed out of the G20 when the chair Indonesia (again, soon to be one of the largest economies in the world) refused to expel Russia and was backed by the rest of the non Western G20. And Ukraine arrest and jails their political opposition, sbhuts down all opposition newspapers and nationalizd all opposition TV stations. Real "free" lol.

  576. If we had a serious government, we'd be preparing independent defence situated around our own interests as an island trading nation in a multipolar world. Almost every penny we spend should be going to the navy - the RAF should be turned into a much smaller air defence force, and the army should be cut down to the special forces and territorial army. We don't need to be part of the "liberal world order police force" any more, since despite the delusions of our political elites, that world order is over, so we have no need for an army made for invading Afghanistan or taking on the Russians in Eastern Europe. What we do need however, as a maritime power, is a navy that can defend both our home islands and British merchant shipping around the world, and control strategic points like Gibraltar (and the Chagos island, great job giving that away in the name of kowtowing to the same "Liberal world order" that is currently collapsing). However the insipid morons that still want to cosplay as Winston Churchill are totally unable to think outside the old paradigm, so they will leave us totally unprepared for the REAL future, as they hang onto their delusions that it's still 1991.

  577. Watch as the comments are full of morons fawning over LE BASED BLACK WOMAN. "Mainstream" right wingers are so heavily trained to internalize leftist ideas while supposedly disagreeing with them it's ridiculous. "A black person who agrees with us, bow before them!". Seriously, why is she brought in to opine on this except because she's black? That's basically deferring to the leftist idea that only black people have valid opinions about anything to do with black people, only gays have valid issues about anything to do with gay people etc. And equally the person brought on to talk about the drawing story is... A Muslim! Of course.

    1
  584.  Ryan Sweeney  No, it sounds like you do. That's why you haven't actually provided any evidence for anything you've said. I don't need to pander to leftist morality by denying history and being ashamed of the fact that we ruled half the world.

Guess what, our head of state isn't the Prime Minister, it's the Sovereign, none of these supposed "conservatives" seem to have noted that. And as for things having "moved on", stop acting like a leftist. Change is bad as often as good, and letting your idiot girlfriend run the country is not "Progress". it's degeneration. Kate Andrews makes a totally dishonest argument implying it's some sort of feminist issue, no it isn't; the wife/girlfriend can do whatever she bloody well wants BUT NOT RUNNING THE F*&KING COUNTRY. She has zero right to "want to be involved" in government.

  598. 16:00 Nelson is a clown. The reason for the hostility of the West to Russia now is because it's opposed to the woke ideology of the same people you're talking about, so how does that disprove the idea that anti Western leftists control our culture? The people most likely to have Ukraine flags in their bios are the same ones who had mask emojis and rainbows and BLM there too.
    1
  599. Precisely. Go to a ruined post industrial town where the majority of the population is either on benefits or a government worker assigned to deal with the social breakdown deindustrialization has caused there, and find some unemployed 65 year old on disability for the last 30 years since the local industry closed, and tell him "but you can get wireless earphones from China for 50% less than they'd cost if they were made here, so the end of your entire way of life and the destruction of your community was worth it, right?"

  601. Our current "leaders" are nothing of the sort. Any radical action would be instantly shot down as "crazy" - for example the government is happy to spend an extra 50 billion Pounds a year on current expenditure (i.e. money that is simply spent and produces no long term benefits), but if you suggested cutting 50 billion from current expenditure, and allocating it to funding a new national megaproject EVERY SINGLE YEAR, people would say you were crazy, even though it would be the sort of thing that would massively increase our long term trend rate of growth, while 50 billion quid of annual benefit checks does precisely zero. 50 billion would fund a new container port to rival Rotterdam and give us the best shipping infrastructure in Europe, the next year we could fund a undersea tunnel between Britain and Ireland, the next a tidal barrage across the Severn river to generate 7% of British power requirements. After 20 years you'd have staggering improvements to national productivity, a trillion Pounds of tangible investment gains. But again, this would be laughed off as "crazy" by people like Gove.

When you think about it, the idea that people could even get away with pushing the pretence that Britain didn't have a culture until we imported lots of, for example Pakistani villagers, shows how subverted our country is. If you said to the same people who say stuff like that "name me a Pakistani nobel prize for literature winner" or even ""name me a Pakistani book", they wouldn't have an answer. All they have is some moronic sense that "Pakistani culture" is "vibrant" and "colorful"

  614. Honestly bizarre when they pretend "not to know" how to stop immigration, it's simply a matter of will. As an extreme example "no one comes through customs without a British passport" would stop all immigration tomorrow. From there you obviously are able to build a rational system, e.g. exit and entry controls for non nationals (embarkation controls were intentional abolished in the 90s to facilitate uncontrolled immigration - the government dismantled their own tools for knowing how many foreign nationals had overstayed their visas and who they were)

  633. And to be clear the same "muh sovereignty respecters" from America that have been supporting Ukraine are now backing this Al Qaeda led attack on Syria. All the facts are in the mainstream media sources over the years, the Obama CIA funded, trained and equipped these forces to overthrow the sovereign government of Syria, and now our media our once again shilling for regime change, carrying ridiculous lies like "Turkey (a NATO member) funded, trained and protected these forces, but it had nooo idea they were going to carry out this attack". The warmongering neocon clowns in Washington and London, working with the Turks and Israelis, are risking starting WW3 as they play out their little chess moves.

  634. How about debating the hypocrisy of conservatives who mocked the demands from college students for "safe spaces" and to be protected from "dangerous speech that "attacked their identities", and wanted free speech, but who now want to shut down free speech and protect Jewish students from "verbal violence"? (and no, I'm not a leftist and I'm sure I disagree with these protesters on most issues.) And let's not even gwet into the fact that we've had years of ant white rhetoric and protests and speech at American universities, without conservatives saying a word, but the second it's pointed at Jews suddenly it's a national crisis?

  636. I'm no fan of China, but "rules based liberal order" is code for "America makes the rules and everyone else follows them" It's a hypocritical joke which the Russians and Chinese are rightly tired of. We (The Americans and their allies) invade, occupy, regime change, sanction and embargo as and how we want to advance our interests, but we don't recognize the rights of any other states to do the same. And if they do anyway, we use that as a pretext to destroy them. It's like a king murdering all his rivals and then claiming he is "keeping the peace" when actually all he is doing is protecting his own power.

  637.  @AA-iy4gm  They would say tough luck though, white people invented the idea of giving "asylum" to people just because they show up ath their borders, most non white countries still act that way today (Japan, a wealthy first world country, rejected 99% of the (very few anyway) asylum applications it received last year, meanwhile the UK accepted 80% of the far greater number. And you talk about mercy? Look at the UK Ministry of Justice stats for jury decisions by race. White Britons are actually slightly LESS likely to convict a non white person than a person of their own race, meanwhile non white people are VASTLY more likely to convict a white person than a person of their own race. It's white people who show cross racial empathy at far higher levels than any other races. This lack of in-group preference is exactly what has allowed us to be taken advantage of.

  638. The reason the policies this guy advocates for need to be implemented by authoritarian fiat is because the free market acting rationally wouldn't implement them because they're so stupid. For example he talks about air pollution in China and India killing hundreds of thousands. Then why do they keep using those dirty power sources? Answer; because they save ten times as many people and therefore they're worth it. Once China and India become rich enough to switch to natural gas, the free market will do so without arrogant diktats from the globalist elites being needed.

  639. It's interesting to see how brainwashed Germans are, as represented by this guy.

He's said himself that he's on the same side as people fighting to preserve Western cultures and traditions.

  645. A good example is Russia. Everyone loved to mock them as having a "GDP smaller than Italy", but the thing is, that GDP is "hard", raw material extraction, energy production, heavy industry, military production etc. Whereas ours is "soft", banking, insurance, "culture", accounting etc. Guess what, in a war only one hard GDP matters, soft GDP it is essentially worthless. That's why Russia could withstand the full might of Western economic hegemony being turned on it, whereas the UK would collapse in a week if the same was done to us.

Even the Ukrainian and Western propaganda attacking the Russians features parents complaining about how difficult it was to get their kids back... but they all do have their kids back, they can never actually provide any parents who want their kids back but haven't managed to claim them.

Just like I'd be happy to see us trade with the Russians, the Iranians and anyone else we could gain economic advantage from, instead of engaging in this ridiculous game of sabotaging our economy to defend the "liberal world order" (which has never been anything other than a front for Atlanticist/globalist hegemony.)

  685.  @danconceptsconveyed6617  Except that's a lie made up by people who want to try to pretend Ukraine losing is somehow winning. People keep saying "Russia was expected to crush them" but where exactly was that said before the invasion? People seem to say it a lot after the fact as some sort of proof of Russian failure, but I don't remember anyone saying it at the time. Rather pathetic that people have to make up some false narrative to disprove as a way to claim some sort of victory for Ukraine. Ukraine is the largest country in Europe, with a large population, and the largest standing army in Europe, trained to NATO standards and with the full intelligence and strategic support of the USA behind it, supplied with billions of dollars of equipment by NATO. Russia deployed a small force less than half of the Ukrainian army, without any aerial campaign preceding their invasion, and is slowly but surely taking ground from Ukraine. Also despite Western propaganda, they've acted with far more restraint than Western invasions ever do, the first thing America does when it attacks a country is destroy civilian infrastructure, whereas in Ukraine the power grid, water, sewage systems and Internet and phone systems have all been left intact, and the capital city has barely been touched. You claim that's evidence of failure only because you have no idea of the difficulty of such a campaign. For comparison, America was too scared to mount a ground invasion of Serbia in the 1990s, a country vastly smaller and weaker than Ukraine, instead bombing it from the air for months until it was no longer capable of resisting.

  687.  @rocketpig1914  Telling in exactly the way I said. If a supposedly right wing magazine will happily pal around with far left extremists but would never do the same with right wing extremists, then it isn't really right wing at all, it's controlled opposition. What point are you trying to make?
    1
  688.  @rocketpig1914  my point is that I could understand the centre right preferring the centre left to the far right, but as I said, they're seemingly happy to pal about with the far left while they would never go anywhere near the far right. Tell me, is the far right more of a "different ball game" to what is called the centre right than the far left is? Simple logic would then suggest that what is called the centre right isn't really right wing at all. You're right that it's the way all mainstream sources behave, but this fact is never addressed in the public debate. In fact I'm sure these "centre right" journalists would happily express their utter disgust and hatred for the far right, while feeling no similar antipathy for the far left. This makes no sense unless our political culture is being artificially police and controlled in a way that is never publicly acknowledged.
    1
  689.  @rocketpig1914  I get all that, but the far left has murdered far more people than the far right ever has, so again my point os that in a genuinely free political system either both extremes would be equally unacceptable, or equally tolerated. But we don't live in a genuinely free and open system, and neoliberal/globalist elites are clearly much more afraid of the far right than they are of the far left, so this utterly artificial Overton Window is what we're stuck with. She is hot though.

Logically we should also basically mothball / convert to a purely Territorial Army type force the Army and Air Force (if we're not going to be doing derpy "regime change" stuff as America's lapdog, why do we need them except for island defence?) and divert all funding to the Royal Navy, as we used to back when we were a proper country. Would make the most sense for a CANZUK alliance to focus all military spending on Navy, since we're all islands (functionally Canada is too, since its only border is friendly / not worth defending if the US ever tried to invade anyway. But would require real vision from our leaders, who are mostly sheep who think it's still 1997 and wasting money on nonsense like preparing to fight Russia in Eastern Europe.

Amazing how the "sovereignty and democracy respecters" at the Spectator are suddenly fine with violent overthrow of an elected government by a few thousand leftist protesters in the capital city, as long as it serves the geopolitical interests of neoliberal globalists in the West. Should we support Extinction Rebellion or BLM overthrowing the British government? What a farce all this talk of "Ukrainian sovereignty" from you clowns is, the West either controls national governments, or if it doesn't, it brands them "authoritarian", or "rogue state", or "terrorist" or whatever pretext it needs to subvert (hence the opposition to this law which makes EU and US funding of subversion more difficult), regime change, sanction, bomb or invade as necessary to achieve its obectives. There's no principle behind people like you, it's just naked power. But power in service of what? Not British or Western greatness, but the GloboHomo empire of degeneracy promoted by the left, that for some reason Western conservatives support. Gay pride marches in Kiev, BLM protests in Poland, open borders for Hungary.

If people were all required to pay their own way, then it wouldn't matter if we had a declining population. Moreover AI, robotics, crypto and other technologies will mean that a VAST proportion of the current population will soon produce very little economic value, so importing millions of angry 90 IQ brown people over and above that is stacking up future social problems in exchange for short term economic advantage.

  747. Yep, bucn of centre left liberals squatting in the ruins of what used to be a conservative publication.

  748. Pathetic, "creating legal pathways". So your solution to illegal immigration is making it legal? F**king clowns. The is the Spectator's line of questioning? How can we get even more immigrants?

  749. Gove is extremely dishonest when he pretends there isn't hostile intent behind Labour's policies towards farmers.
    1
  750. Yep, Telegraph are very Tory establishment, this is controlled opposition stuff. The basic idea of secret government units censoring the British population should be repellent to anyone who actually believes we are a free people.

  751. The "right wing fringe" are the people who are actually right wing and refuse to be gaslit into fighting for the Globalist agenda in Ukraine. The neocon/neoliberal "centre right" are in fact not right wing in any way, they don't not believe in hierarchy, authority, tradition or any other meaningful right wing concepts, they are merely pro corporate left liberals who share the social attitudes of the left. Gay marriage, transgender legislation, criminalizing non woke speech, I production of no fault divorce, all under our "conservative" government. The idea that these cretins get to police real right wingers is laighable

  752. Don't want to be mean by caring about the truth.

  753. ​@supercriceto Exactly, and if we weren't importing millions of third world immigrants, that would happen naturally over time (as people more inclined to have children outbred people who aren't)

  754. I can sense the dam breaking on the insane neocon consensus in the UK around Ukraine, the high watermark of which was probably the entire House of Commons rounding on Nigel Farage the other day. It's obvious there has been huge perference falsification going on, case in point being Freddy, who has obviously been hiding his power level as regards this conflict for a long time.

  755. The proof it's persecution is that most of these crimes took place long before he was president, and yet there was no interest in prosecuting them until after he became the main electoral rival to the Democratic Party.

  756. Why would we be? What has Israel literally ever done for Britain? It was founded by Jewish terrorists who murdered British soldiers and civilians and got away with it. A few years ago investigative journalists caught them openly plotting to (actually, unlike the nonsense about the Russians) interfere with our democracy and bring down a Tory MPs deemed insufficiently pro Israel. If not for the power the Jewish lobby exerts in both the US and UK, and Europe more widely, Israel would be reated like apartheid South Africa was (of course it's VASTLY more brutal and oppressive than South Africa ever was, the Apartheid government killed less blacks during the entirety of apartheid than Israel did in the first week after the October 7th attacks

  757. It really is so dumb, because one of the last USP's Britain has is still being associated with class, refinement, luxury etc. Rich people want to buy British luxury clothing, jewellery, property, use our public schools, private banking etc etc, "playground for the rich" really is a national strength (because guess what, lots of the world's most powerful and connected people spending time in your country networking with each other provides huge advantages. It is pure spite to say "who cares, let them leave!" over policies that don't even provide the broader country with any real benefits.

  758. He's not a leftist lol. You must think that being a Zionist and Ukraine cheerleader is somehow "conservative". It's not.
    1
  759.  @ryanmacdonnell8987  you're a brainwashed neocon clown, so lol at you saying anyone else has fallen propaganda. Try criticizing the idea that men can be turned into women and enjoy being fired from your job and possibly arrested for a "hate crime".
    1
  760. >"join the Russian invasion" "escalation of the invasion" >"they're in the Kursk region of Russia" i.e. they're actually preparing to help repel the Ukrainian invasion of Russia.
    1
  761. Russia seems to be pretty associated with wokery to me, and doesn't seem to be an enemy most people understand. The most rabid defenders of Ukraine and haters of Russia have been the woke left, who have tricked moronic conservatives into thinking they're fighting the evil commies, when in fact really we've switched places ideologically. Conservative useful idiots are supporting a woke jihad against a conservative Christian nationalist country because they're so idiotically ideologically confused. In week 1 of the war the head of MI6 literally came out and said we were taking on Russia because they aren't pro LGBTQ lol.

  762.  @jumpstar9000  I don't disagree, but even derivative rehashing of these concepts is so far beyond the level of the rest of mainstream British political discourse that it's worthwhile. Both the current Labour and Tory leaderships are complete intellectual voids.
    1
  763.  @qinby1182  Your frame of reference is out of the 1980s. Equating being "right wing" with being a supporter of NATO and confrontation with Russia. If you look at current political trends, it's established left wing parties like the Greens in Germany who are pro NATO, pro American adventurism, pro confrontation with Russia etc, along with centrist liberal "conservatives" like the Conservatives in the UK, CDU in Germany. Meanwhile anti-establishment populists on the left and right tends to be opposed to neocon/neolib interventionism and confrontation. Just look at how much both the Republican and Democrat establishment tried to stop Trump because he wasn't anti-Russian enough for them.

  764.  @YELG_7  True enough, an explicitly positive right wing agenda is necessary.

  765. The leaders of France and Germany have publicly gloated about the fact that when Russia had the upper hand militarily after 2014, they tricked it into signing the Minsk accords with no intention of ever implementing them, so that Ukraine had time to rearm and attack the Donbass and Crimea later. Trying to present the West as good faith actors in this conflict is laughably mendacious. This focus in the Western media on presenting Putin as untrustworthy is done purely to propagandize the public by neocons who want continued war as the only option, because we "can't negotiate with Putin anyway"
    1
  766. Funny, I never saw the Spectator put Russia's "war crimes" in inverted commas, despite the fact that Russia has killed less civilians in two years than Israel killed in two weeks. Repulsive little neocon shills.
    1
  767. The Spectator is a liberal globalist rag, pretending that allowing the country to be overrun with third world immigrants is a debate with "two sides", and that open borders fifth columnists have a valid argument that needs to be treated with respect.

  768. The doctors that he's an unelected globalist banker placement without a single conservative instinct might have something to do with it.

  769. No, Boris started to unravel when he joined in on the insane sanctions war on Russia that tanked our economy in service of a proxy war to maintain American hegemony.

  770. Yeah she's too stuck in the neocon mindset. Notice how the biggest Russia haters are the left liberals, who blamed them for Trump and Brexit? Why are Western conservatives joining with them in their efforts to destroy Russia?
    1
  771. Did she says with a straight face that Ukraine is winning and pushing back the Russians? Just totally delusional.
    1
  772. So Roberts' retort to Cooper's claim that Churchill wanted war with Germany and Hitler wanted peace with Britain is... that Hitler retook historical German territories? What a hilariously ridiculous non sequitur. Britain declared war on Germany, not the other way around.
    1
  773. The question is whether they can get rid fot eh leftist clergy that control the Church.
    1
  774. But she's right about Korea lol. It's a wonderful country, but Koreans all know for example, that when one party wins an election, it jails the old leaders, it even jails the chaebols that funded its old opponents etc.
    1
  775. That line about Hitler being Cooper's hero just shows what a lying propagandist this guy is.

  776. Turkey is a sovereign country, its affairs are it's own business. I don't think we in the West should be hypocritical, so this should always be our approach to every country.
    1
  777. "Oh, you aren't iberal faux conservatives like us? You've fallen for Russian propaganda by actually aspiring to genuine right wing ideals" Kate and Douglas' condescending sneer is the reason why people like them have no real future on the right.
    1
  778. The Ukrainians, are fools, but they're right. The betrayal was by the neocon clowns who encouraged Ukraine to fight a war that they could never win, just so that the West could "weaken Russia", instead of accepting a peace deal that would have ended the war after only a few weeks, with no Ukrainian territory lost and hundreds of thousands of lives saved. And now these same people are trying to shift the blame onto the people trying to end the war that they provoked and exacerbated.
    1
  779.  @egertonmark  Yes, there was. Warmongering liars like you told Ukraine not to take it. This is attested by multiple different heads of state, and senior negotiators on both sides.

  780. Are you so stupid that you can't understand anything beyond the literal?
    1
  781. 30:30 This "conservative" magazine is run by leftists. What groups have been overlooked? Black people? Our society grovels before them. Why is this supposedly right wing magazine parroting left wing talking points uncritically?
    1
  782. They will win here too, they have overwhelming escalatory dominance, much as these neocon simpletons seem not to be able to understand that. (Or they do, and they're just using the Ukrainians to bleed the Russians dry, despite knowing they have no possibility of victory)
    1
  783. When has the Spectator ever pushed back against the thought crime bills passed by the British government? Typical conservative weaklings
    1
  784. So the narrative ised to coup Truss was absolute BS, and the Spectator was part of it. Neocon globalist takeover.

  785. White people need to start taking their own side. Every other group is enouraged to.

  786. Nelson is such a limp excuse for a conservative. It's "explosive" to dare to disagree with the concept of white privilege is it?

  787. Two anti Russian Ukraine shills as guest.

  788. Funny how Douglas says you have to be mad to order the invasion of neighbouring countries. What does that make people like him who supported the invasion of countries on the other side of the world to you?
    1
  789. Typical cucked conservative response though; complain about "PC gone mad" but actually do nothing and let the left win. I guarantee that if a Conservative mayor were elected, he wouldn't dare change any of these names back though. Because "conservatives" unlike the real right (i.e. nationalists) have fundamentally accepted the moral supriority of the left, they agree that "diversity is our strength", support feminism etc.
    1
  790. The Foundations have also been totally subverted by leftists. For example the Rhodes Trust is run by leftists who hate Cecil Rhodes. That should be illegal.
    1
  791. Beevor is a neocon shill, talking about how dictators behave, how many countries have the "Western democracies" invaded over the last few decades again?
    1
  792. People aren't challenging the actual problem, which is the outlawing of creation of a feeling ("hate"). And it's telling how these laws are couched as "objective" when they are implicitly political. How would leftists react if in an alternate reality where the Tories were actually right wing and had the same will to power as Labour, they passed a law against "incitement of national self hatred", which basically made it illegal to say bad things about Britain?
    1
  793. The fact that the first thing he talks about is her being a "woman of color" shows everything wrong with the Tories, they've totally bought into the left's moral authority.
    1
  794. Exactly, the sleight of hand they tried is so dumb "oh they aren't bio warfare labs, they're bio defense" labs, it's completely different" - except that's literally the exact same thing, just like how after WW2 we changed the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Defence, despite it maintaining the same purpose.
    1
  795. Freddy asks whether the lack of backlash in the UK vs America is about the "scale of the problem", no, I think it's about class. Americans are simply less social class conscious, so when opinions are coded as "low status" it doesn't intimidate people out of saying them in the same way as it does in the UK, where middle class people are desperate not to hold any opinion that might appear to be "working class". Since patriotism has been coded as "low status" in the UK, the middle class has been intimidated out of expressing it in a way that would never work in America.
    1
  796. No, we don't. I love how somehow it's ok for NATO to invade European countries and carve them up, but Russia doing the same is worthy of starting WW3 to stop.

  797. communist, not fascist

  798. Those crazy Russians thought the Labour government might actually care about the British people more than neocon foreign policy. As if!

  799. Prevent has been turned into a weapon for the far left (teachers, social services, Labour) and the centre left (the Conservative party), to go after the actual political right as "far-right extremists.

  800. The only thing I'd say, is that the future of the right in the UK is about the working class, Reform can't just be new Thatcherism

  801. Im not a "global, liberal" thanks, I have no "responsibility" to allow these people into my country.

  802. "Incitement to racial hatred is a crime" yes, because we don't have free speech.

  803. "He also says that countries cannot be built around race or religion, or other fixed identity groups: 'In a liberal society, people need to have a source of community and mutual identification, and the nation still remains a pretty strong source of that." "cannot"? How about f**k liberalism, a real enduring nation is built around a people of shared ancestry. England existed long before liberalism did, and if it can shake off its shackles before liberalism destroys it, it will exist long after liberalism is gone.

  804. "The far right AfD" yet again it's obvious that the writers of the supposedly conservative Spectator are actually mostly left liberals.

  805. Laughable Tory shitlib love in. Reform is going to destroy these clowns.

  806. Probably because only the .1% cognitive elite of India are able to emigrate to America.

  807. It ain't Russoans crossing the Channel in small boats.

  808. Unfortunately the Tories are corporate shills and are opening our borders to third world immigrants to replace EU migrants.

  809. "This is why he's losing" Where do you find these clowns? Russia loses 2% of the territory itsl's taken to a massive Ukrainian counter offensive that ot didn't even bother to defend against in the North, and that's proof it's losing?

  810. The cause of racial IQ gaps is a metter of debate, their exisrtence is not. Ths is the primary reason that the left has been on a quest to dismiss the utility of the entire concept of IQ and even intelligence itself for the last few decades.
