“...we are sandwiched between a burgeoning underclass of foreign newcomers on one side, and a globalist overclass of bureaucrats and sociopaths on the other” - sounds about right...

Excellent article. I like to listen to ideas such as Starkey's, but agree that it seems to have little to no relevance to the current situation. It is, like an historical essay, merely a description of what went before. We may learn from it, but cannot apply the learning. Similarly, I find the online discourse of our online friends extremely interesting. But even some of that (e.g. Spenglerianism) suffers in a similar way to Starkey, in my view. Our civilisation is fallen, of that there can be no doubt. But unlike the past upheavals and recoveries in Britain, the thing that will go into the future isn't very British at all. There is still a majority ethnic group, but we are the children of mass entertainment, Americanism, consumerism. Modernity has almost rendered us un-British. Our institutions are effectively gone. Most people seem to lack any sort of belief in anything culturally meaningful. A radical change has already taken place. Starkey is too late to the party.

As I have watched in recent years the hordes of assorted, random brown people obviously being shoved deliberately in to my home town, I have had to start coming to terms with the fact that my country is being abused. Bad things are not simply happening to it, they are being callously done to it. The slap, the punch, the push down the stairs. Now the boot is being put in.

A 'rival castle' needs to come to the fore soon, or it will soon be too late. Of all the historical lessons we've learned lately, I think 'riding the tiger' is the best thing we've got. Sorry to be so glum.
