Good stuff. There is a whole world of middle-class-friendly low-immigration rhetoric just waiting to be taken out of its John Lewis box.
My feeling is that "immigration-driven population growth" could be a good angle: the Glasto and Green Man brigade are genuinely aghast at the idea of the country becoming more overdeveloped and polluted and losing its landscapes, habitats and woodlands, and it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to put the connection across to people without sounding naff.
I think they confuse genuine refugees (whom we´re generally happy to help up to a point) with Romanian gypsy pickpocket beggars, Albanian criminals and African opportunists. If you can pay a people smuggler maybe you could use that money to invest back into your own country.
I beg to suggest that it’s 70 year old people waving not welcome here placards, and it’s delusional students and Rabid left wing no boarders activists that are welcoming anyone who fancies jumping in a dingy.
70 year olds are the most likely to object to being “Strangers in their own country “.
Tedious take. ‘Bovines’ don’t have any less media savvy discrimination than you. Antisemitism is very real. And if anything is a grift it is this kind of sneering libertarian ‘cool’ . You are too young but in the 1980s you would have read Face. But yes middle class people should vote reform
Spiked! / O'Neill polemics are similar to the American Fox News hacks and crass bro comedians who go on about "latte sipping liberals with their Whole Foods and yoga lessons". Cheap and lazy. To be generous, I think I understand their point: privileged liberals are relatively isolated from the effects of the shitty solutions they propose for today's problems. But when you rely on trivial material signifiers and caricatures to make an argument you get trash discourse like Spiked.
Their website in 2012/13 appealed to my libertarian views at the time. I look back now with some embarrassment that I took their arid and juvenile contrarianism as insightful.
Anyway, the fact is that every native English strata of Yookay society has fallen off in the last 25 years. I support Rupert Lowe for Prime Minister and the Restore Britain movement will need everyone on board - the best of the working, middle, and upper classes. No Spiked and co. & no friendly fire.
Started commenting and it vanished. Fine article, good spiking of spiked! Former Trotzkites turned quasi-fascists! Karl Marx would say that history repeats itself, first as comedy, then as a tragedy but this is probably farse all the way. Beg to differ on 'Deform'. Farrago is a charlatan. Just my view. Oh, good point about the 'antisemitism' scam! Keep it up, guys. Love you! ❤️
Yep. Free speech for all and vote Reform? However, some observers might be wondering as to why Mr Habib and Mr Lowe were ushered away from Reform for exercising their rights to free speech. I certainly am.
BTW am I allowed to be a White British Women, middle class and Proud? And yes a card carrying RP member. Will I get lynched?
As long as you don't say anything against Nigel F, you should be safe.
A bit late for that. I've already made my feelings clear about management skills.
A case of 'no noose is good noose'?
Think I'm OK for now - time for renewal of my subs. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣

That’s a sensible answer, however, the “Glasto, green man brigade “ are the very same ones that ponce about with Refugees Welcome Here placards.
What they really mean is “but not my here”
🤷♂️

Nobody is waving "Refugees Welcome Here" placards anymore except 70 year old geriatrics. You are living 10 years in the past.

Reform have only grown because the main parties have failed to listen and act.
Le Creuset? Please. It´s Mauviel 1830 nowadays. Do keep up.
Brilliant article.
