The race report has the usual crowd of anti British commentators and academics out in force - what's interesting is how little anyone cares - there appears to have been a structural change within the general public - people are no longer interested in their views or care

It feels like they over reached last year when accusing 85% of the population of being racist fascists - I know what a shock - this is taking time to feed into the political and cultural systems but it's being noticed

From politicians like Starmer through to charities like the National Trust our elites are seeing a wall of hostility - they are getting hurt in the voting booth or wallet etc - when they attempt to push their anti British identitarian agendas

So be of good cheer - the ship is turning - it is imperfect - but we are making progress - pushing back against these deeply unpleasant and pernicious ideas takes time - but I'm actually vaguely optimistic for a change

But the importation of American style culture wars, post modernism via the universities and critical race theory is making it impossible - because it's unravelling the many advances we have made towards better relations between all groups
