Starting point is 00:00:55 Download today. Imagine there's a border. It's easy if you try. try. Imagine that by some miracle, the result of last year's general election was a crushing victory for reform. Imagine Prime Minister Farage delivering an address to the nation outside of No. 10 Downing Street, in which she talked about the need to put British workers first, denounced Tory failure to control the borders, and warned that strong measures were needed to make sure Britain does not become an island of strangers. If you've even casually followed British politics

Starting point is 00:01:35 over the last decade, you hardly need me to describe the inevitable fall app. Endless TV debates, guardian columns and Twitter meltdowns about Britain becoming a racist hellhole. Swarms of celebrities led by Garolinica promising to leave the country, and I'm not doing it, trans flags flown at half-mast and leafy London suburbs. Until this week, this might have been impossible to picture in your mind's eye, but the mood music of British politics is changing fast. This week, Prime Minister Kirstama, who previously did, dismissed concerns about mass immigration as scapegoating made exactly these comments in an attempt to appear tough on immigration.

Starting point is 00:02:13 We risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together. So when you have an immigration system that seems almost designed to permit abuse, then you're not championing growth. You're not championing justice, or however else people defend the status quo. you're actually contributing to the forces that are slowly pulling our country apart. So yes, I believe in this. I believe we need to reduce immigration. Before anyone gets too excited, it's important to say that there is absolutely no chance that his words will be followed by serious action or, God forbid, actual results. That's not my opinion as a stama skeptic, it's an observation based on his track record

Starting point is 00:03:01 and even more importantly, his character. The nature of Stama's political approach became clear long before he set foot in Downing Street. It's often been claimed that asking politicians what a woman is is a gotcha question. In reality, it's been an extremely reliable way of identifying people who will lie in public about literally anything for the sake of popularity. Stama infamously failed this basic test of integrity and common sense before the last election. A woman can have a penis. Nick, I'm not.

Starting point is 00:03:30 I don't think we can conduct this debate with, you know... Sorry, I've offended you in some way. No, no, no, no, it's just... No, no, no, I just... A woman can't have a penis. I don't think that discussing this issue in this way helps anyone in the long run. The fact that in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling confirming that a woman is in fact an adult human female,

Starting point is 00:03:56 he abandoned his prior obfuscations on this question, is not remotely to his credit. On the contrary, you'd almost respect him more if he'd stuck to his guns. I bring this up not to admonish him for some past faux par. In this week's speech, Stama claimed that despite his cynical critics, he's now taking a harder approach on immigration because, quote, it is right, it is fair, and is what I believe in. End of quote.

Starting point is 00:04:21 My contention is that if, in fact, Stama believes anything at all, he certainly does not believe in tackling illegal immigration as a matter of urgency. nor does he believe that mass immigration is as much of a problem as the British public think it is. If he did, he would have campaigned on these issues and then done something about them after being elected. In reality, every politician who has attempted to deal with illegal immigration has concluded that it is impossible to do without leaving the ECHR. Even Rishi Sunak, who effectively forced out Sir LaBravman for saying this out loud and has claimed he went too far with his rhetoric about immigration,

Starting point is 00:04:57 has since said there is no other way of solving the problem. Despite criticism from the right, I do not believe Stama is stupid or incompetent. On the contrary, I suspect he compares rather well on both of these measures with several recent prime ministers. My point is something else. Dealing with illegal immigration and unwanted mass immigration is very difficult. It requires doing a lot of things that are popular with the public, but extremely unpopular with the progressive lunatics and Stama's party, as well as the bulk of the virtue signaling commentaria.

Starting point is 00:05:30 These are not things that can be done without genuine conviction. Let's be honest. The Labour government is signaling about immigration in an attempt to nullify the onslaught of reform. This won't work, not only because they don't actually believe in dealing with the problem, but also because we all know they don't believe in dealing with the problem. The Tories, incidentally, face exactly the same issue.

Starting point is 00:05:51 After 13 years of Labour governments, which oversaw more people coming to Britain than had come between the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and 1950, followed by 14 years of conservative governments which were even worse, the British public simply no longer trust either party to deal with this issue, and I don't blame them. As such, Starmo will do on immigration exactly what he did on grooming gangs. When forced, he will talk about the issue as if it's really important,

Starting point is 00:06:17 while acting as if it's not. We all saw what the Labour Party really thinks about grooming gang scandal last week, when a Labour Party from Benchard described it as a dog whistle. I don't know when you saw the documentary on Channel 4 about rape gangs. No, we want to blow that little trumpet now, do we? Yeah, okay. There is a real issue. Let's get that dog whistle out, shall we?

Starting point is 00:06:40 She's since apologised, but even more telling was that Stama, who spent weeks promoting the adolescence Netflix series as a documentary, which must be shown in schools, ignored an actual documentary about grooming gangs that was released shortly after. I rarely make political predictions, but on this I'm fairly confident. Immigration will continue to be a massive problem

Starting point is 00:07:01 that goes largely unaddressed. The boats will keep coming, deporting violent foreign criminals will still be nigh and impossible because of their human rights, and low-wage, low-skill mass immigration will continue at a level that is intolerable to a larger and larger section of the British public.

Starting point is 00:07:17 This will inevitably drive more and more people into the arms of reform. The only question that remains is, whether Nigel Farage and this party can capitalize on the opportunity this presents.

Starting point is 00:07:44 In a world where headlines are constantly shifting and narratives change by the hour, understanding how a story is being reported is just as important as what the story is. That's why I use ground news. It shows you how coverage of any story differs across the political spectrum, helping you break out of echo chambers and actually see the full picture. Take the recent landmark UK Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of woman. Using ground news, we can see that CNN, which leans left, ran with UK Supreme Court says legal definition of woman excludes trans women. The spectator, which leans right, led with the Supreme Court ruling is a victory for women.

Starting point is 00:08:23 Same story, two completely different takes. Ground News makes these contrasts easy to spot by letting you compare headlines at a glance. It also shows you ownership information, like the ownership status of both CNN and The Spectator. My favorite feature is the Blind Spot Feed. It surfaces stories being ignored by either the left or the right. Stories you might not even realize you're missing,
