Warning against something that both Reform UK and the Conservative Party would undoubtedly unleash in the UK given the chance, is not 'unhinged'. When you've been reading the room and warning signs for over a decade it's vital.
A few months ago Chris Philp called me “unhinged” in a Telegraph article about a video I made.
In it I warned about the brutality of ICE, & argued those who appease Trump would open the door to Fascism here too. I was called ‘hysterical’.
I have 0 regrets about that message.
