Beyond The Blue Fringe

The man who demanded that the Premier League lift its cap on foreign players has finally registered Restore Britain as the political party of remigration. Among those who have signed up is my former colleague, and the owner of a name straight out of The Anglo-Saxon ChronicleMilo Yiannopoulos. All eyes are now on the superstar of Telegraph Blogs, James Delingpole, who says that nuclear weapons do not exist, and who could not go back to the Telegraph, since, unlike back in the day, he could not now swear allegiance the State of Israel.

Bonnie Blue sounds like a place name, so let Nigel Farage name a new town after her. And put her on a banknote? The mind boggles. Nick Timothy was a key player in the proven hoax that gave rise to the Prevent to which he will be very lucky to avoid being referred. While I feel for Matt Goodwin as a fellow failed parliamentary candidate who has also been known to self-publish, my sympathy is nevertheless limited, since I have never published anything that had been written by Artificial Intelligence, and if I did, then I certainly would not list ChatGPT as a source in my footnotes. And much more fun besides.

But there is also serious work to be done. Everyone who campaigned against abortion up to birth also campaigned against assisted suicide, yet it was the less popular measure that succeeded. Assisted suicide was opposed by all of the Independent Alliance, by most of the Socialist Campaign Group, and by most of its allies. Now we need to apply to infanticide, among very many other things, the arguments that have in principle become the consensus on the Left. What other hope is there? People who think that nuclear weapons do not exist?
