What stands out about the new british hard right? It’s obsession with stuff that’s not actually a problem. Some examples. Thread. 1/
2/ Immigration. Not actually a problem, only “legitimate concerns” people have not actually based on impacts. Easier to address those concerns with community building than do what’s needed to stop immigration.
3/ Judicial activism. The government wins around 97% of judicial reviews. The Miller cases (both of them) only became an issue because the executive didn’t have a majority in parliament.
4/ Leftists in universities. Really? Of course there are loads of them, but we won the cold war even though they were stuffed to the gills with actual communists.
5/ flight shaming and all the other virtue signalling. So people you don’t respect try to shame you. Who cares?
6/ In short, this is all like the most tedious form of university trotism. It’s time they grew up.
