"We may have to get over our British decorum because the managerial state has weaponised it against us. We're terrified of being seen as impolite. The British state has been prosecuting the same mission since Blair came to power - a new multicultural, high immigration Britain. This is not a failure of governance. It is the system working as intended. They want a post-British, a post-Christian, and a managerial theocracy. And the question is, is will it fall apart? Will we ever be able to get the tides to turn again. Will we become a people and a civilization once studied but no longer exists? And that's the big question." — me on @NewCultureForum Link to full panel with @missalicegrant @KiszelyPhilip and @BenBarryJones in the comments

"The Romano-British elite of the day in the fifth century invited the same people who came over and created a whole new nation here of England. We're importing lots of people who are certainly much more demographically vital, civilisationally more confident than we are. Like the Romano-British elite of the past, unless they're not careful, we may well see a demographic and cultural wave that will put all of their ideas to bed." - me on @NewCultureForum Link to the full panel with @KiszelyPhilip @missalicegrant and @BenBarryJones in the comments

On the future of British universities: "I don't necessarily expect a violent act of cultural vandalism to take place on behalf of the state or a monarch on the universities but the monasteries didn't close down only for that reason. They also saw their intellectual star wane. They'd become less intellectually vital. They'd also had their financial resources strained because they were prosecuting wars on behalf of the crown. And so their legitimacy was dropping even in the eyes of the communities and the economies that had built up around them. I suppose we could end up visiting the likes of Cambridge in the future as a beautiful ruin as we visit Fountains Abbey". - me on @NewCultureForum will @KiszelyPhilip Link to full panel (with @BenBarryJones and @missalicegrant) in the comments below.
