Is there any other country in the world which would cover up the mass rape of its young girls over decades to protect a voter base (Labour) and DEI? Starmer’s Government is an interregnum, the hard far left have lost. Expect an increasingly desperate fight. Good to see Musk with a chainsaw.
The woke left are sneering individuals who truly hate other beliefs, indeed thinking they have no right to be uttered. This has been stated on platforms like Question Time in the past or spat out by Alistair Campbell.
I am glad Trump is addressing this in the USA but under labour things wont change fast. They are already sneaking EU free movement for young people, Islamaphobia laws and the NHS seems to be continuing with gender ideology to favour trans people at the expense of female staff and patients. Doctors get new registration numbers and past misdemeanors and sex is hidden. The public are being gaslit.
We do need to keep an eye on what is happening as labour are very secretive and lie, saying they have no plans to do something, then fair accomoli, it is there. America gives us hope and Reform is hope for the future.
Great stuff Matt, and what you say fits in with the belief that I have held for a long time now, that the Left will fail because they are, collectively, of a very low calibre. Years ago, when I was a young man, the Left had great intellectuals who expounded Left-wing theory in great depth, and honestly saw the movement as the saviour of the human race. Many books were written and great debates flowed through the media, and nobody could really argue against the dogma without being accused of not caring about the poor, or of being guilty of simply preserving ones wealth out of greed. But, time passed and the truth began to seep out, although the unions and die-hard Leftie politicians tried to conceal it, which showed that Socialism and Communism did not lead to sunlit uplands, but resulted in poverty and the enslavement of populations.
Nobody can deny that in order to create a wealthy civilization, wealth creators must be given the room to create wealth, and that wealth can then be harvested to create a better society. If wealth creators are extinguished, then poverty always results from the race to the bottom. I see no intellectuals today arguing in favour of the Left, only idiots who are using the dogma to enhance their own wealth and power. A vast array of intelligent, learned and sensible people are today opposing the collective group of imbeciles that make up the Left in Britain, most of whom are members of the Labour Party, people who, knowing that their cause is without merit can only resort to shutting down debate and locking up political prisoners, just like in any other Totalitarian state. They resort to violence repeatedly, because they lack the intellect, and the evidence, to successfully argue their case. They have tried to establish Communism by the back door through the Net Zero scam, which is disintegrating daily as the public see through the lies, and their previous attempt using Covid as an excuse has been exposed as another attempt at frightening the public into compliance. They are intent on destroying nation states in the name of Globalism, but Trump is opposing them now, and their cosy little cartel is not looking too healthy.
Ultimately, the Left are losing because of the bravery of intellectuals like Matt, Dr David Starkey, Lord Toby Young, Paul Burgess, Rupert Lowe, Nigel Farage and a host of others who put everything on the line in order to tell the truth. There are too many to thank personally, but to all of you from the grandest professor to the smallest blogger, I salute you.
Douglas Murray, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Connor Tomlinson, Dan Wootton, Konstantin Kisin, NIgel Biggar, Winston Marshall, Allison Pearson, Alex Philips...Trump, Elon Musk, JD Vance, Os Guiness, Jordan Peterson, Erica Komisar.
Great stuff from More in Common confirming your analysis Matt. Re counter-thinking: The German ex academic writer Eugypius is well worth a few of your subscription pounds. He started off by rationally critiquing the Corona complex now he provides an indispensable insight into German and EU politics with mordant wit and absolutely piercing parody of the mediocre neurotics who run the show. I also recommend Holly Mathnerd, a brilliant young data scientist who like me was left by the woke left, but like me also has her eyes open to the antics of the right. She helped expose the overreach of the DOGE bros when they took badly coded databases for Social Security, to be evidence of a multi trillion dollar fraud. She also shares her heartbreaking personal story as a warning against the ‘be kind” mantra. Paul Emburey like me a heterodox Trade Unionist who voted for Brexit , but unlike me able to be open about it. Thats the world we are in.
Yes, I would have listed Paul Emburey too, another brave man who risked everything to tell the truth. I am just sad that we did not have the late Bob Crow with us; although I did not agree with some of his methods, he detested the EU and saw it for what it was.
Yes, I totally agree and there are far more heroes than we have space for here to list, although I would like to add the super housewife June Slater to the list, the no-nonsense Northerner who speaks plain language and devotes a lot of her time to the fight. It is hard to describe the bravery of these souls, academics like Matt risked everything to tell the truth, and Nigel Farage gave up his home life and put his life in danger because he loves his country.
I think the left intellectuals were really a response to the hierarchy of aristocracy, the class system and the working poor in this country early 20th century, that case has gone since the 60's and 70's. I would add Tommy Robinson who June spoke up for, despite him being a bit rough round the edges to start with has also put his life on the line to report the grape gangs, failure of multiculturalism, over politicised judiciary, deceit of legacy media and the terrorism threat.
We have to ask why there is such a threat to life for speaking up.
Yes definitely and I think that people like George Orwell, Clement Attlee and Sir Anthony Wedgewood-Benn were driven by a mixture of guilt and compassion. I have read that the First World War was a catalyst because for the first time the upper-classes (officers) actually mixed with the ordinary soldiers and got to know them and found out that they were not troglodytes or savages.
So true, and the Left have complete control of the levers of power. As soon as children enter school they begin to be indoctrinated with Marxist philosophy which cements this hideous nonsense into future generations. The only way out is a massive, overwhelming shift to the Right, as has happened in the USA.
And this is why we need to defund those authoritarian, anti-democratic, radical progressives in positions of power. The universities, the civil service, the NGO's, the charities, government and the legacy media.
Unfortunately, we are compelled to pay for the BBC upon threat of fines and eventually imprisonment (that's how good it is!). Despite them creating a recent propaganda piece (Gaza - how to survive a warzone) alongside Hamas families.....all kindly funded by us!
Many of the other institutions we can't defund either because our government decides that they will shower our taxes on them. Even if we decide a 'charity' is not worth funding (e.g. due to its dubious aims, structure, DEI spending) the government then replaces that by funding it centrally.
In short even as we try and defund the institutions that work against our interests the government steps in and compels us to continue doing so.
Still, their economic inheritance wasn't as rosy as in Blair's days and they are fast running out of money as the private sector tanks. It won't be pretty. But perhaps it could make their tyrannical rule shorter.
Great article again Matt! I get the feeling that the silent majority are stirring more every day thanks to people like you and the huge strides that Trump and his team are making!
I like to imagine what it would be like to be a woke leftie that is made to sit and read an article like this, and then to look up and see your world crumbling around you. No wonder they are lonely and sad but, it is nothing less than they deserve. Time for some introspection wokies!
The woke people are not sad, neither are they beaten, they are self-congratulatory and sanctimonious, and they don't mix with people who disagree with them. They would simply dismiss such articles as Matt's as the voice of white privilege and even if Matt were black he'd be dismissed as a coconut. They are not afraid to speak out -- but anti-woke people are afraid still, afraid for their jobs, afraid of losing their 'friends', afraid of harsh criticism within their own family -- many parents are afraid of their children's reactions just as they were in Soviet Russia.
Totally agree with you. I'm on the receiving end of people with these beliefs and it's virtually impossible to engage with them on certain subjects if you don't agree with their views. They're infuriating.
Yes, absolutely. I feel really sorry for mothers who have woke teenage kids -- I have met one who was quite distraught. I quarrelled with my two best friends over the immigration issue (even though it doesn't especially affect me personally) , it's the biggest divider of people along with trans issue. These people can only be shunned, they're too annoying to argue with and I would just lose my temper. All those I know in favour of unlimited immigration are revoltingly privileged while I am not, and most of the trans supporters have not themselves ever been troubled by gender identity. It's all just dogma.
This stupid ideology has only succeeded in achieving the exact opposite of what it intended and has, due to a backlash from the forgotten majority, made the forgotten majority unnecessarily more racist than they ever were before.
Our ‘light hearted’ village magazine article encouraged residents to enter their ‘pet hates’. Mostly they were ‘littering’ or ‘rudeness’ or suchlike but I contributed by stating “wokeness and political correctness” and that still holds firm with me now.
I really hope they are on their back feet. There will however be a tremendous fight. Just look in the States, how despite all the incredible level of waste and corruption that is being exposed, the woke Dems and MSM are hysterically trying to divert from the truth and change the story. Meanwhile the average American completely understands that Washington is corrupt.
I recommend this substack essay talking about the changes now starting to happen with the arrival of Trump and as Matt says, hopefully the demise of the Woke Left, though I fear it will not happen quickly in this country.
Lyons and Frost have identified the wrong man as the progenitor of the present American Revolution. Trump tried it before in 2016-2020 and failed. Elon Musk is doing it now and succeeding.
It's a shame that the entire entertainment industry is so captured by the woke left, in the UK and the US. When can we expect to see a reversal of this trend? It makes most of the new shows being produced completely unwatchable. And I haven't watched an awards show in over a decade now. The privileged elite flaunting their "nonbinary" fantasies and their "transgender" children is just too sickening.

Musk has identified over $1bn wasteful spending in the Department of Education in a matter of weeks. Imagine how much more corruption there is to be found in a year's work!
It is not surprising that the Woke Left suffer so much from mental health problems. Their ideology undermines their own mental health. I have come to call it 'cognitive anti-therapy', as it inculcates anxiety, paranoia and depression due to its negative interpretations of human interactions. It also inhibits self-awareness.
We now need only to remove them from the institutions they control. Not sure how you do that with a Labour government with a majority as large as this one, but open to suggestions.
Bravo! This is the cosmic suss! Keep saying it for me. You do it so well and that is why I am a paying subscriber. Not sure how long I will be around but your work is going to figure in my will!
Another great article - have just saved it so I can easily find the data when confronted with elitism left certainty. Great to hear so many good things coming out of the US stating the blinking obvious.

Campbell was responsible for sending thousands of British troops into harms way. How dare he pose himself as Woke.
The man should be in jail for what he did i.e. sending British soldiers to their deaths on the basis of a ‘dodgy dossier’ which he helped compile!

Yes and Gavin Ashenden and Rafe Heydel Mankoo.

Yes agreed Colin, I'm a paid subscriber to Paul how could I forget him !

And not forgetting Neil Oliver, who has fearlessly spoken the truth!

Seconded.
Great points Colin, I would suggest Mark Steyn, Kathy Gingell and Laura Perrins could usefully be added to your list of Superheroes 😉
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 well said sir

Sounds like the first step in fixing the problem is to appoint a new government. 2029 can't come soon enough.

Hope you’re right but never underestimate the ability of these toxic parasites(is that a tad harsh?Actually no) to mutate…

I just read David Frost's piece in the Telegraph who cites and endorses large parts of that article too.
Lyons and Frost have identified the wrong man as the progenitor of the present American Revolution. Trump tried it before in 2016-2020 and failed. Elon Musk is doing it now and succeeding.
It's a shame that the entire entertainment industry is so captured by the woke left, in the UK and the US. When can we expect to see a reversal of this trend?

Apart from Ricky GERVAIS.

We could do with this scrutiny here in UK. I would start with DWP and then go on to the rest of the Civil Service etc.
It is not surprising that the Woke Left suffer so much from mental health problems. Their ideology undermines their own mental health.

starting point will be J D Vance & The Don reading 2TK's horoscope next week. Things will percolate from there
I do hope The Donald treats him with barely concealed contempt But The D May fall asleep whilst he’s being lectured Xx
by the time JDV has shredded him, it'll be The Don giving the coup de grace. The look in 2TK's eyes afterwards will tell the full story
Very encouraging article. I hope Matt is right - but then he usually is!
Bravo! This is the cosmic suss! Keep saying it for me. You do it so well and that is why I am a paying subscriber. Not sure how long I will be around but your work is going to figure in my will!
