It is a political axiom in contemporary Britain that there is no problem that Boris Johnson’s government can’t make worse. The supplementary lemma is: How much of it is intentional? Last week’s farcical events involving supposed flights of illegal immigrants from Britain to Rwanda for asylum application processing look at first glance like government idiocy. I suspect not.

Dis-United Nations: The Scramble for Power in an Ungoverned World
New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 2020About a year ago I ran into one of my old Army buddies.

English original here
La révolte contre le mondialisme
D’après la gauche, les peuples du monde sont sur le point de se donner la main et d’entrer ensemble dans un nouvel âge de gouvernement mondial et d’harmonie multiculturelle sous le règne d’élites cosmopolites bienveillantes. Mais il y a eu un petit problème sur la route de l’utopie, c’est-à-dire la montée du national-populisme : le Brexit, Trump, Orbán, Salvini, les Gilets Jaunes, etc. (more…)

Recently I had dinner with an Englishman who could have stood in as “a good man from the Shire” sort of character on an episode of PBS’ Masterpiece Theater. I raised the question of Brexit: good or bad? His response was very negative. He then went on to describe the many problems of Britain’s exit from the European Union. (more…)

An Arab proverb warns that it is better to have a thousand enemies outside the house than one inside. For Europe, it is too late. Worse, the enemies inside the house were elected.
Relentless, government-sponsored Islamic immigration into Europe for more than half a decade means that Muslim attacks on the indigenous population are now part of the rhythm of European life. (more…)

When Brexit won and I heard “Land of Hope and Glory” played at one of the celebrations, I found myself tearing up, much to my surprise. Of course, it makes sense. England is my ancestral homeland. But actually feeling it came as a surprise. It was one of those “Welcome to the human race” experiences. (more…)
