Outstanding quote from Casement.
Roger Casement: “A nation is a very complex thing. It never does consist; it never has consisted solely of men of one blood or one single race – it is like a river, rising in the hills with many sources, many converging streams, that become one great stream.” (1905)

Susan Hall, the Tory leader of the London Assembly and defeated mayoral candidate is on Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain board. Now he has founded a racist political party, she (or Kemi Badenoch) needs to decide if Hall can be a member of both.

Hungary holds elections in 2 months. And the US Secretary of State is in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orban. And as you can see, Russian state media loves it.

Won't be a revelation to anyone but the reason all the worst people on the right are pivoting to talking about race and culture rather than immigration is so they can keep banging the drum even as net migration figures fall (UK) and even reverse (US).
This is the next step and it always was.
