A great interview with a very intelligent guy but Nigel Farage is a clown and Kemi Badenoch is well a symbol of the degradation of British conservatism

Do you have a better practical suggestion for the next 4 years? I’m all ears

Brexit was supposed to be about "taking back control" and turned out to be precisely the opposite. It was always destined to be that way though because as we've subsequently seen the allegiance to globalism in the Tory political class is complete. If Farage knew all along that it was going to result in still obeying EU laws and swapping European immigrants for Asian and Africans, and at 2 to 3 times the amount whatever was the point of the exercise?

Kemi Badenoch has given more than enough evidence that it's people of her own heritage that will be prioritised.

I don't see how Tory/Reform would do anything other than make slight adjustments to the trends and injustices oppressing native British people.

Brexit and Covid seems to have exhausted any demands for radical policies at grass roots level which is precisely what's needed.

Here's my suggestions No free NHS for foreign born people,implement policies to regain the trust of Scotland (might be the hardest!)and abolish net zero.

Possibly, but I think at this stage we're fighting a battle at a much higher level than policies (which do indeed need to be reformed).

Politics is downstream from culture is downstream from imagination is downstream from what is sometimes called spirit. And what Brexit, Reform do is CUT into the dream fabric of the post-Blairite managerial orthodoxy. Friends in Europe are very inspired by what happened there.

And although on the ground the country is looking fucked, what is desperately needed is a new generation of leaders who can imagine and therefore act outside the horizons of international managerialism.

So far Reform have totally achieved their strategic goal, which is to force the Conservatives to look at immigration seriously.
