Peter is wrong about colour being 'skin deep', and all of this 'one race - human race' nonsense. This is his pious, universalist Christian rubbish rearing its ugly head, and it's that kind of thinking that has demonstrably changed Britain for the worse. As a former working class oik, who has had to live cheek by jowl with the problem of multiculturalism for most of my life; I can assuredly say (and the scientific literature agrees with me, here) there are IMMENSE differences in innate characteristics between race. Intelligence, orderliness, conscientiousness, empathy, aggressiveness and violence all correlate with racial differences, everywhere on Earth we have data with regards to crime statistics, IQ tests etc. This has been well known for decades, thanks to the work of pioneering sociologists like Charles Murray, Steven Pinker, Ed Dutton etc... And for people that think these problems are all 'cultural'. Culture is downstream from behaviour, and that is downstream from genetics. If in the future, you think this country will be in any way 'British' or as well off as we are (were) now, think again.

I don't immediately get the misconception here. Who is it that thinks Corbyn is much more extreme than Starmer? I don't know a huge amount about Corbyn but from what I understand while being something of a holier than thou type he has a liberal streak. He is slightly more affiliated with the casual, experimental and whacky side of left wing politics especially with his brother. Different culture. He is a little unpredictable in some senses. Starmer is a straight up authoritarian extremist through and through. He's as formal and commanding as it gets. I would imagine that you might have a small chance of being able to reason with someone like Corbyn. At least chance of being heard out. This is not so for someone like Starmer.

I 99% agree with what you have said but Starmer only has the *appearance* of being commanding.

I think he's right. The only way we're going to get out of this mass immigration mess is if the left abandon identity politics and reinstate coherent, patriotic, class based politics within the nation-state. They have to get off this idea that you can use the printing of money by central banks to bank-roll a mixed economy while throwing it open to the whole world. It's unsustainable. The left need to understand this and soon.

I, too, listen to invaluable talks like these repeatedly. To undertake the most serious enterprise of reforming a country, it is necessary to raise up cadres of conservatives who have spent years educating themselves. They need to comprehensively understand precisely which things went wrong, how to repeal them, and how to correct things. But many such groups need to arise, all over the UK, and begin to work in a coordinated way for effective change. Draw up plans, with goals and a timeline. Build a country of educated and effective conservative people. Don’t talk only about all that’s wrong; talk about what needs to be done.

I disagree with Peter on one point - I don't believe sufficient integration is possible to avoid the sort of tensions that lead to sectarianism and worse. When I think of the almost trivial differences in culture and religion between the opposing sides in Northern Ireland in contrast to the wide chasms between the native Brits and some of our immigrant communities it is clear that we have an unsolvable problem. As their communities grow while ours shrinks the incompatibility becomes more evident and more dangerous.

They ignore ordinary voters as not important and have agendas the like of which are still not fully known or understood by us ordinary people. We have no global standing and our government is not respected for it's immigration policies when Europe is waking up to the issue. All Britain gets us rhetoric about smashing the traffickers..fat chance if that...he has no intention of doing that....he will bankrupt Britain in his love affair with immigrants of alien cultures and values to existing citizens..he is openly biased against British people and the culture of British people. Without sound opposition Starmer will break the backbone of Britain and yes the Starmer revolution is carried out by suited cohorts appointed to power in all government departments..this is his power base, employing left wing University educated staffers who share his Marxist views...and yes applies to teachers, lawyers and yes even the rather languid police forces who are now more biased than a Bowls ball, and I'd no use to us ordinary peasants.

Having been on 2 juries, at the Old Bailey for a criminal trial, and Southwark Coroners court, the latter was basically just following the Coroner's guidance but the other was bizarre. Both Defence and Prosecution wanted disinterested jurors that didn't care in order to get a quick decision. They selected candidates that dressed casually, rather than smartly, and didn't sound educated or interested in the process. On a 4-day trial it was obvious that generally they weren't interested in justice or considering the evidence, but in getting home as soon as possible. I was foreman and had to work hard to get them to consider the important facts. Me - atheist at 17, even more so at 72!

People always respond well to being called stupid. I don’t actually care that Peter Hitchens thinks I’m ‘stupid’. Many of his views about policing come from a place of extreme hubris mixed with ignorance. I voted for who represented my perspective best. Tories have led the country in a downward spiral. Conservatives destroyed policing in ways I can’t even begin to describe. They did it more terminally than AOC’s defund the police strategies in the USA. I doubt it will ever recover. 200 years of development of local policing finished. Labour is riddled with dangerous, ideologically radical communists and socialists. I knew they would be u fit for governing. I voted as a huge GAFY to the two major parties who have shown they have contempt for me. A 3rd party was speaking plainly and clearly.

My issue with his comments on the death penalty is that the majority of nations with the lowest rates of crime, do not have the death penalty. There are ways to reduce crime without the death penalty; life in prison being the obvious one. The larger issues are the breakdown of family structure and social/cultural cohesion. The way to solve those issues is a moratorium on immigration, with the exception of highly skilled workers, benefits being given to married couples, and the reintroduction of public corporal punishment.
