In the last couple of days, I've heard both Jeremy Vine and Reeta Chakrabarti on the BBC refer to the "serious inequalities between black and white people in the UK". Not as a reference to what is claimed by any protest movement, but stated as a matter of fact. WTF.

And f***wits who can't even spell 'colonial' and 'Rhodes', according to banners being waved at the BBC cameras outside Oriel College in Oxford yesterday. (Collonial and Rodes, respectively).

Vine is that example of the well meaning middle class liberal.....sold completely on egalitarian universalism but who avoids living with any of its consequences.

Chakrabarti is also awful, but I can respect that she does actually hold those principles rather than using them solely as a means to an end.

Liberals have the idea that they can create better societies....because essentially, like the left they also believe human nature is malleable....far more than it actually is.

So the end point of their ideas reaches the same dystopia......it just takes longer and just comes with more warm words attached to the end of it.

We can see this with the current state of the country....As social liberalism has been the winning force within institutions since it started serious encroachment in the sixties.

That's why none of what's currently happening is being pushed back against.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

(George Orwell, 1984)

I can meet in the middle and accept the removal of slaver statues. The problem could be the acceptance of more from the authorities. All of them it seems. If only they knew the majority are getting angrier and reject the concepts of ‘white privileged’ and positive discrimination. I heard one LBC caller yesterday claim that housing discriminated against people of colour. I assumed he meant social housing. Unbelievable claim.

The managing of police in the capital is shameful. Then there’s Sadiq Khan who wants to change the landscape. The capital reflects the country, not just the voters the left want in there to increase their base.

This could of course just build the Tory’s northern base. Unfortunately it could be during a racial divide which most don’t want but is being caused by this urgent push that’ll damage any worthwhile and beneficial changes. All very odd but I suppose the lunacy is expected, and of course they’ll eat their own as has been mentioned. The problem is still nothing is being done about the madness. It’s going to be left up to the working classes.

The lack of historical perspective is staggering. On VE Day Naz Shah tweeted a message recognising the contribution of those who fought against “the ills of the world”. Fair enough. Except the picture she added was of Indian soldiers who had joined the German army as part of the Indian Legion and were wearing Warren SS uniforms.
