I grew up in the 70s and 80s.
If you weren't there, just a little clarification on that Spectator piece.
Literally, NOBODY admired Hitler. Apart from nazis.
Hope that helps.

A reminder that London is far safer than many major cities, that crime is falling and that racists hate both these truths because they undermine their vicious little divisive narrative.
Multiculturalism works. London works. And those who hate both things hate themselves most of all.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

That is a lot of tweets. If you got this far you deserve a prize. Reasonable people will debate this growth strategy. But claiming there isn’t one is lazy nonsense. Higher growth matters because rising living standards are the goal, and higher investment is a key tool.

Radio 6 is a tribute to all that is best at the BBC. It is inform, educate and entertain in musical form: Utter loveliness. And then they periodically allow the news department to mutilate it with these context-free anti-asylum bulletins, reminding you of all that's worst about the BBC.
Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6 music is one of my favourite things
Having it interrupted by breathless news bulletin telling me ‘government has banned taxis for asylum seekers’ *really isn’t*
New lines like ‘Home Office spent £1k over weekend on taxis’ would struggle to make a local newspaper

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.
Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

In the 1930s Mosley and his rank and file BUF were careful not to outwardly portray themselves as racists.
They weren't antisemitic... far from it... they were just concerned about "bad principles" and "international bankers" and the influx of foreigners
Everyone knew what they meant.

It's absolutely craven that we allow foreign fascist agitators into this country in the first place. Obv we have our home-grown ranks that are bad enough but allowing Bannon, Mannarino etc to pollute this country with their psychopathic bullshit is a joke. Get them out and keep them out.

So what precisely do the right want to do about the white working classes? Certainly not go to university, as they want numbers down. Nor to have a unionised manufacturing job, as they don't want unions.
No, they just want pawns as part of their culture wars. They don't give a toss.
