A week today with @David_Goodhart of @Policy_Exchange Are the working classes revolting? moderncockneyfestival.co.uk #ModernCockneyFestival
🚨 New ep! "Britain's Lethal Economic Bind" @TomMcTague and @HelenHet20 explore what has happened to the British economy over the past 20 years, and what horrors may lie ahead.... 🎧👇 unherd.com/these-times-wi…
Market rejection of Liz Truss growth strategy is economic equivalent of Suez crisis, showing us limits of our power, useful observation by @TomMcTague in excellent These Times episode. Can Labour pick up Tory levelling up/net zero strategy killed by Covid? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…
Wow! The mask slips. The angry voice of the migration activist establishment when challenged. This babyish ad hominem response is from someone who was once a bigwig at the UNHCR, and is now attached to Oxford uni and Chatham House

“We need the galvanising & unifying power of the post-ethnic nation state more than ever”, but it is slipping from our grasp. In 2004 @David_Goodhart warned of the tension between mass migration & a healthy society. 20 years on, an update worth reading👇 thetimes.co.uk/article/no-won…
@David_Goodhart I think your final paragraph is the key to the entire question - is the country our home or a hotel? If the latter then the upsides to solidarity and sharing are likely to be lost. That’s sad.
David Goodhart writes about why he is more pessimistic about "too much" ethnic diversity (too fast) than in 2004. One feature of last two decades is rhetoric about reducing migration (post-2010) & rhetoric of critiquing multiculturalism but patchy policy vacuum on integration

"An increasingly diverse and individualistic future in which most of us don’t know our neighbours is not an appealing one." True 20 years ago, true today.

Has Britain become too diverse to sustain a common national culture that benefits us all? This was the question I asked 20 years ago in a Prospect essay Too Diverse? (reprinted in the Guardian) causing a mini-storm. I revisit the question in today's Times thetimes.co.uk/article/no-won…
RIP Stan Bowles, most memorable moment of my goalkeeping career was not quite saving a top corner shot from him from just outside the area, he was playing for a London Transport vets team against my @KenchelsFC in Acton. Must’ve been 2 or 3 years after he retired in late 1980s
🚨How British companies are bolstering Vladimir Putin’s war machine🚨 A depressing thread. But an important one. With some pretty shocking charts. Let’s begin with the “official” picture. It suggests UK trade with Russia has collapsed since Feb 2022. Down by 74%…
Emmanuel Macron, pour l'entrée des Manouchian au Panthéon, a prononcé un discours extrêmement dérangeant. En bref, un éloge kitsch et indécent du communisme.

This matters because the media treat people like Bhangal as experts and don’t scrutinise his claims, interests or motives. On his website, it says his “Immigration Guru” slot on the BBC Asian Network is one of the most popular shows on the BBC Asian Network.
Trump-like fake news from France’s new young PM, Gabriel Attal, who told his parliament yesterday that Port Talbot blast furnace is closing cos of Brexit. Real reason is high energy costs/net zero, also why Paris is blockaded by farmers. Our ambassador should set record straight!
Is that Margaret Mead quote about how a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world … in fact only thing that ever has … appropriate for a graduation ceremony (City University at Barbican today) in a mature democracy? Incitement to we know best academic elitism?
Just seen 148 people graduating (including masters and doctorates) from City University in speech and language therapy. Just two were young men. If this was engineering and the male/female ratio was anything like that there would be outrage.

@David_Goodhart Maybe, David, It might be more wise to see your interlocutors as ethnic agitators rather than detached progressives.
@David_Goodhart I think your final paragraph is the key to the entire question - is the country our home or a hotel? If the latter then the upsides to solidarity and sharing are likely to be lost. That’s sad.

@Geruish @David_Goodhart @Roger_Moorhouse Britain's long history of diversity? The Anglo-Saxons massacred the Danes; the Normans massacred the Anglo-Saxons; they all massacred Jews; Protestants & Catholics persecuted each other; Protestants persecuted other Protestants; & then we have Scots, Welsh, English & Irish 1/3957
@Geruish @David_Goodhart @Roger_Moorhouse I swear I will scream if one more middle class person brings up the Huguenots and tries to equate it to the problems we face now . It was 50,000 people ! 😡😡
@David_Goodhart I’ve read your article. You’re too kind to your critics, or should I say enemies, Mr Goodhart. Don’t expect it to be reciprocated.
🎯 another reason we need a long pause in mass migration: so we can get to know each other again and rejuvenate a core common culture.

I wouldn't necessarily phrase things the way @David_Goodhart does in all cases but it's a good debate to be having: "Most people recognise that change is built into dynamic societies... They are not yearning for ethnic homogeneity but rather for some degree of a common culture."

@David_Goodhart Such a scale of demographic change should be spread over 10 generations not 2 or 3. It's an immense psychological burden to place on just a small number of generations.
