Somehow Canada, NZ and Australia seem to be the most woke countries. I’d suggest this arises because their identity was wiped out with the decline of Empire in the 50s and 60s. Shallow attachments mean conservative traditions to resist cultural socialism are weaker than in the US

We shouldn’t be criminalising offensive speech. Instead, we should get serious about curtailing mass immigration and the propagation of anti-white victimhood culture in our schools and institutions.

“Before the war the non-white population of Britain was estimated to be in the low ten thousands, less than 0.1 per cent of the population. This is certainly not the impression one would get from watching any BBC historical drama of the past five years.”

My latest, for @Newsweek based on my @ManhattanInst report:

The Media Is Creating a False Perception of Rising Racism

What if the media and the national conversation isn't exposing racism so much as creating it, or at least, creating the impression that it is far more prevalent than we thought?
