I will very much look forward to this. I am an Epping resident and attended the protests on Sunday and last night. Last night was very calm and the point was made. Great that the council voted to close the hotel although they don't have the powers. The problem is is that these people will just be put in other accommodation which will affect other communities which while good for Epping, will not solve anything.

I’ve listened to Professor David Betz a few times on this topic and sadly agree with him and I’m guessing you Matt that this is happening at a low grade already. I’d be interested to hear what we can do to protect our country and ourselves.

Perhaps the most depressing thing about Betz’s prediction is that whenever I’ve raised this among family and friends, nobody pushes back and says it’s wrong or impossible. Increasingly it seems people instinctively feel something like this is inevitable.

I have some lefty friends who think it’s nonsense but even they admit this government is failing badly. Most of my family and friends who think like me tend to shut down and ignore the problem. I guess they’re too afraid to consider the consequences as am I to an extent.

I got back into the UK on Sunday evening and something felt wrong. It was obvious because I’ve been away for three months nearly.

I got off the boat in Harwich where the roads haven’t been maintained properly around the port for the best part of a decade. The bollards near Morrisons’s were dirty and neglected. One of them was ground into a traffic island.

And yet there was still the budget and bureaucratic bandwidth to install a new batch of average speed cameras.

My journey past Cambridge and onwards to the M6 was accompanied by a failing and feeble 4G signal.

It was in stark contrast to the steady 5G signal that had kept me company between Western Romania and Rotterdam.

But who cares as long as the signal is adequate for asylum seekers to log onto a gambling app?

I was certainly staggered by the volume of surveillance cameras on the roads. I realise that human rights lawyers have turned the surveillance state on us.

Yes, it really did take human rights lawyers to do that to us.

There is no point trying to find a 50 quid hotel room for the night in the Midlands because all of those sort of three-star hotels that you don’t really care about are now turned over to migrants.

Everywhere I looked and listened in the media on the journey there was anger about the mess we are in.

I really do believe that time is running out to find a solution.

But I am no longer optimistic that the British state can solve this. We really are trapped in that cliche of a runaway train.

Britain is a classic example of, if the nation state doesn't control international finance capitalism, international finance capitalism will control the nation state.

Liberal Democracy has ended up reducing our ancestral homeland to just an economic zone, open to the World, run in the interests of The Merchant Class with a wealthy hypa Liberal Managerial Class enforcing their rule/ agenda.

We have to admit now, we probably aren't going to vote ourselves out of this Globalisation, no borders nightmare.

The dire state of our society and out government is unprecedented. We now have the least competent government ever, with a Prime Minister that seems to be exacting revenge upon the indigenous and naturalised population. It's plain to see 'Gaslight' Starmer is pro-migration, his dishonesty about his true position on this invasion is disgusting as well as treacherous. The fiscal management could have been done far better by an average 5th former.

The worst catastrophe among many others is migration: the Forgotten Majority is finally realising the extent of the damage to the fabric of Britain, socially, legally and visually in terms of rundown communities and the increase in crime. Also hitting like a baseball bat to the head is the realisation that there are MILLIONS more migrants waiting to come to Europe - read Britain - so the current wrecking of our society is nothing compared with what is yet to come. And Starmer knows. He also knows of the rapes and murders committed by illegal, undocumented migrants on British people - on his watch.

If a managing director of a company can be convicted of corporate manslaughter because of an employee's negligence, then Starmer must be in line for a similar charge.

Cheers, Matt. Looking forward to it in a gallows humour sort of way.

If possible can you please touch on the ECHR, apart from the obvious trouble it’s causing, I believe it might also be the genesis of Super Injunctions (it is very hard to find out how they arose).

And in my opinion they are the worst feature of many bad features of Authoritarian Britain.

I’m wondering whether they would automatically lapse if we left the ECHR, what a bonus that would be.

Injunctions and Super injunctions are handed out by U.K. High Court. Anyone from anywhere can come to U.K. and get one awarded, it a form of revenue thought up by government a few decades ago. Other countries won’t do it as the opinion in countries still with freedoms see these injunctions as anti democracy, wherever the person taking one out ….

The ECHR has no connections with U.K. Legal system. It used by our politicians though to do nothing, just like when we in EU. Unfortunately for population, but not Blair who incorporated ECHR Human Rights into UKs HR Bill, which allows our often amoral HR lawyers to act against U.K.s best interests but for their bank accounts. Other countries did not incorporate as preferred more freedoms than dictats from a court that easily could have own agenda, - not all the personnel on ECHR bench are lawyers, some heads of whatever who obviously have influence in organisations to be picked for job……

Thank you very much for organising such an event. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend it live, but, no worries, I will do so later and as soon as I possibly can.

Faithful and committed as ever.

Unlikely that I will be able to attend, I hope that a recording will be sent out as Matt says. I never received the one about A Busy Week held mid July. Did anyone else get it? I can't see any reference to a video on the Substack.
