I am not in the UK, so I can only guess at motivations. I was asked once why my husband and I went to a rally in Washington, DC. It wasn't convenient or cheap to travel, didn't we have more important things to do with our time and money? What difference would it make? We were in the middle of parenthood and professional commitments. We went because we wanted to gather in our nation's capitol with others who were "too busy with life" to weigh in on every public discussion and decision. We felt overlooked and undervalued. We never presumed to be ", the silent majority," but we were tired of public figures declaring that our "silence" indicated our support for deconstructing our cultural norms. Cue husband rolling eyes at last sentence, because, to be fair, he isn't a words guy. His showing up, listening, and clapping is the equivalent of someone else running around with their hair (or a malatov cocktail)on fire. He would have responded to your question with a "It's past time to call out this nonsense." Followed up with him turning to me when you asked "What nonsense, specifically?" "Draconian speech laws and their selective enforcement and uncontrolled illegal immigration and immigrant violence against children." He would have tugged on my arm and we would have walked on, thankful to have an afternoon together.
Yes! Funny that this actually is journalism, which is not what most of our journalist-activists do. Everyone has an angle, but I trust Konstantin to convey what he experienced here, good or bad, but the 'journalists' at the BBC or the guardian really didn't need to waste their time attending to write their articles.
Illegal immigration led to censorship of speech by fearful politicians who don’t want aggressive Muslim illegals “acting out”. Muslims votes are critical for too many politicians. Blasphemy laws in Britain? Really?
Regarding failures of integration, changing cultures is difficult but has never been a serious problem until recently. Bear in mind that this is no longer a failure to integrate as others did, it is a lack of intent to integrate. Why integrate into a weak society that allows you to massively molest its girls with no consequences. And why integrate when your growing numbers confer increasing power to reshape the culture . “There’ll Always Be An England” helped get the country through WWII. What will get the country through its current nightmare? Will it remain culturally British?
The Allister Heath podcast was great. You might not get the same level of traffic on some of your high information episodes, but it's important for people to realise that even when Reform begin to address the mass migration crisis in earnest, it won't be a magic wand which will solve all our problems.
I wrote a fairly content heavy prompt with Grok the other day, asking it to look at a detailed list of potential factors which might have helped caused the sustained increase in house prices above the rate of inflation. Immigration was 15-20%. Regulations and regulatory compliance costs were 35-40%.
With farming and food costs, depending upon the type of agricultural good produced, food is 20-80% more expensive from North America (excluding Mexico) or Europe, purely because of regulations and regulatory compliance costs.
How about a guest from the farming sector? The push toward 'sustainable' farming has cost the average household £150-£300 a year. By 2024, it had cut profitability for more intensive farms by 35%, jeopardising the future of UK farming as more and more farmers consider leaving the industry.
It's basically the same ideological thinking which frames the EU's farm to fork 2030 goals. It might marginally help the environment but it won't help climate, besides which farmers can do a fairly good job of reducing nitrogen by themselves, with an incentives rather than enforcement approach. Consumers will just be forced to buy intensive goods from outside the UK and the EU (because they will still be cheaper than organic), adding transport carbon costs to the process, and increasing costs for consumers. Only a relatively small percentage of UK consumers can afford organic on a regular basis.
I am glad you took the time to go there. I
Appreciate your podcast report. Thank you

Thanks, as always, for keeping journalism alive. Nice work.
