What a breath of fresh air this interview was. Matthew Goodwin has hit the nail on the proverbial head with exactly what is wrong in British Politics today. We need people like him, Douglas Murray and Konstantin Kisin in politics to put back value, pride and common sense into our democracy before the new elites take things too far to the left!

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

You limit yourself and your understanding of politics significantly if you keep thinking in left/right terms... It's a very simplistic view and will make sure solid policy isn't happening due to Polarisation. They're almost meaningless terms. Some typical leftist policies are necessary as are right ones, so let's think practical and NOT dogmatic.

I've just learned about Matt, today. His ideas certainly resonate with me, and I find myself agreeing with him. I'm an American, and I feel the same way as you about my own country. I think it's increasingly important that we keep our heads about us. While we should firmly stand up for the values that make both our countries great, I'd strongly, to the very end, urge people to resist acting out of anger and to become violent. I only say that, because, at least here in the United States, there's increasing buzz about potential for civil war. Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.@@PibrochPonder

Matthew, is a very important person for the good of the western world. Not only are is observations spot on but he can express them in a way that everyone one can follow.

I was thinking about this yesterday. Workers are coming and going. Until a new worker is trained the quality goes down. Customer service is affected. Turnover is very high everywhere. When people were responsible you put up with the policies bc you had to pay your bills so you keep your job. Now adults living with their parents they quit their jobs and go elsewhere. The quality of employees is going down. Staff cut in front of customers almost run down the customer. They are rude discourteous. Apparently they are unaware of if you don't have customers you dont have a job. The company does not exist if you chase your customers away

I would also argue that the loss of the Christian ethos and philosophical basis for our universities has left them floundering around for a moral purpose. The result is that they have invented one based on all the issues you're discussing, particularly the acceptance of the ridiculous notion that White Europeans are the only ethnic group guilty of the invented concept called 'racism'.

Humanism is better than Authoritarian Christianity. Give it a thought. God is not necessary if an individual has agency, achieved from self-knowledge. 😮😮😅😂

[@murphyorama]

Whether you believe God to be 'necessary' or not is irrelevant. What do you mean by 'agency'? If God is a fact, you don't have a logical option other than to do as he requires. The chance of God not existing as the creator of everything including your presumed 'agency' is so tiny that it is irrational to place your faith otherwise. @@kirstinstrand6292

They have been instructed by the WEF and the UN to flood every western country with immigrants to crash the system and create a single government to oversee the US, Europe, UK, Australia, NZ and Canada as a single economic and cultural entity. In order to achieve that, states must dissolve. It's a generational project that will likely be complete by the 2040s. I know that seems very soon but the immigrant situation is going to accelerate in the coming years because all liberal governments are onboard for this project and no powerful or meaningful opposition exists except for the voters but they don't get to vote on immigration issues, ever. Global government had its seeds sown in the founding of the UN but will truly blossom once western states begin to collapse as they will with the debt growing every day.

Great interview with Matthew Godwin, who made so many excellent points. British people shouldn’t think of the halcyon days of Conservative rule from 1979 to 1990 under Margaret Thatcher, and forget about the Major government that followed it from 1990 until 1997. In fact, the Major government marked, in monetary policy, a much more decisive break with the past than the Thatcher government. Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont made the Bank of England the first European bank with an inflation targeting regime. By making the target inflation indicator the Retail Prices Index excluding mortgage interest (RPIX), not the RPI, he also recognized that there should be a distinction between a consumer price series used for this purpose and one used for uprating pensions or incomes. And in 1995, with the incorporation of a housing depreciation component in the RPI, the RPIX series became a superior target inflation indicator as it now gave a substantial weight to current house price changes. The Conservative governments from David Cameron forward have largely destroyed this legacy. Gordon Brown made the UK HICP, misleadingly renamed the UK CPI, in December 2003, but the exclusion of housing prices from the new inflation measure was only supposed to be temporary, until Eurostat added an owner-occupied housing component based on the net acquisitions approach to the HICP. Unfortunately, waiting for this to happen has been like waiting for the second coming of Christ. The Cameron government, against all expectations, chose to create a CPIH series that supplemented the UK CPI, not with an OOH component including housing prices but with an imputed rent measure. Now the Conservatives plan to turn the RPI into a meaningless index with a movement that mirrors the RPI. In the long term, the CPIH will also almost certainly be the target inflation indicator of the Bank of England, since the Conservatives seem bent on a J.R.R. Tolkien approach to inflation measurement: one index to rule them all and in the darkness bind them. It is a betrayal of the legacy of the Major government and is bound to lead to more of the housing booms and busts that have plagued the British economy for so long. Shaun Richards, an English economist and blogger, has written extensively on this issue. It is a pity that he has not been more influential with the UK government.
