HIGNFY's problem was going with the guest presenters post-Deayton. Even if they'd only done that for a couple of years as a short-term stop-gap/experiment, they really should have found a new permanent host, as the peak era of the show was founded on the chemistry of Merton/Hislop ribbing Deayton as much as it was actually about the satire of the news and the jokes of the guests.
Parallel universe time:
Boris as permanent host of HIGNFY since about 2003.
Donald Trump secured 57% of the White vote, while Kamala Harris received 42%
White Men: Trump garnered 60%
White Women: Trump received 53%
White Voters Without a College Degree: Trump 66%
White Voters With a College Degree: Trump obtained 45%
Trump won twice - and, I suspect, could easily win again if allowed - because he won the White vote, which is caucusing on racial grounds, as the Dems are seen as the party of everyone else
Why should Britain avoid this fate? Answers welcome
Because despite many people trying to argue the contrary, we don't have a large block of non white voters with a shared cultural experience of slavery which causes them to have different priorities to the white population. Our immigrant communities are from diverse backgrounds with different voting patterns. For example, Hindus and Cantonese are as much Tory inclined as the white population.
At least you essayed an answer, and for that, thanks
I suggest Britain's racial divide is easily as bad, because - while we do not have the anxious and terrible legacy of slavery on our own soil - we have imported a brand of militant Islam - which America has not
So I predict we will see Britons voting, increasingly, on polarised racial grounds, and Whites will also do this - for the first time
It was an interesting question so thanks also. I still don't think it'll have the same electoral impact because adherents of Militant Islam are small in number (although maybe not in impact) and they don't make up an important caucus of one of only two viable political parties.
Though sufficiently large in number that they have, what, 5 MPs now and form the opposition on Lancashire County Council. And getting larger in number all the time.
I expect to see plenty of them elected to Bradford council next year.

HIGNFY is a relic from a country that no longer exists. It's from the same era as the Big Breakfast with Chris Evans and Gaby Roslin and it's impossible to imagine a show like that being made now.
Hardly surprising given there isn't the budget to create such a show now..
I switched on HIGNFY for three minutes on the Jenrick section and this is why liberals are losing in this country. They are all such self satisfied wankers. This show should have been cancelled years ago.
Ah come on. A Britain where Robert Jenrick (or an earnest arsehole from any political party) isn't roundly mocked is not a Britain I want to live in.
It was a brilliant bit of politics widely recognised on PB. It was also faintly ridiculous.
Yeah let's mock the guy pointing out how ridiculous crime has become instead of the police, judges and mayor who let it get that way. Like I said, it makes the BBC look like it's completely out of touch with reality.
If a satire show isn't mocking a senior politician running around a train station then something has gone seriously wrong with this country.
1. It's not funny (it hasn't been funny for a decade or more)
2. It nearly ALWAYS aims at the right (which is one reason for its unfunniness, it is predictable = the death of humour)
3. It ignores HUGE targets for satire because it is "progressive" and cowardly. How about a riff mocking Islam, the Religion of Peace, for enforcing blasphemy laws because a by passer tried to gut the Koran-burner with a knife? That seems ripe for satire. Yet they don't go there. I wonder why
It is pathetic. Kill it off
HIGNFY was brilliant for the first 10 or 15 years with Deayton presenting, mainly because he mocked everyone regardless of whether they were left or right.
Yes, he mocked Hislop and Merton as they mocked him. Which made it often quite electrifying to watch
TBH I haven't watched an episode in years. I tuned in a couple of seasons ago for one episode, for about 15 minutes, and it was so desperately cringe and unfunny my scrotum LITERALLY tried to hide up my butthole, our of shameful embarrassment for all concerned. I am sorry for the mental image, but I have to be honest - that is what physically happened
Maybe I'm wrong but I seem to remember that when HIGNFY first started Merton was left-of-centre and Hislop was slightly right-of-centre in order to provide some balance. But over the years he's become increasingly liberal-left as well.
To me the big problem with HIGNFY is the dishonest framing. When a politician is on, if he says something funny Ian Hislop will pop up and give a lecture about how it's actually a serious issue. And if the politician says something serious, the whole room stares at them because they said something serious on a comedy show.

Haven't seen it since
I don’t watch it often, and it’s patchy. Hislop isn’t very funny. But I did watch this evening (prompted by the discussion here). It was a decent one. Jack Dee was on form and Richard Ayoade is a good Deayton style presenter.
Aside from Jenrick (a slot of maybe 2 minutes) the only other right wing target was Elon Musk vs Trump. Starmer was the target about 4 times, including one particularly cruel quote from Madame Tussaud’s who haven’t made a waxwork of him because they’re not sure he’ll be relevant in 5 years, there was a piece on eco types pretending to be trees at a council meeting, another with Dee expressing exasperation with Greenpeace, and then a variety of totally apolitical sections.
Yes the comedy level is variable, but the perception here is probably based on politically sensitive types only noticing slights against their own tribe.

True. But the mistake the politician has made is being on the show in the first place. Not many pull it off. Charles Kennedy always seemed to make it work, somehow.
HIGNFY is a relic from a country that no longer exists. It's from the same era as the Big Breakfast with Chris Evans and Gaby Roslin and it's impossible to imagine a show like that being made now.
I keep saying this but I'd urge people to give the US version of HIGNIFY a try (first series is on iPlayer). It's even more liberal that the UK original but it has a freshness and bite that the UK version hasn't had in ages.

EXCLUSIVE: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is on his way back to the U.S. to face criminal charges, sources tell ABC News
If the charges go nowhere he'll be able to make enough from libel actions to retire to Monaco:
White House: Ábrego García to meet 'full force of American justice' published at 21:48
The White House press secretary has just released a statement about the indictment against Ábrego García. She says the charges prove "the unhinged Democrat Party was wrong, and their stenographers in the Fake News Media were once again played like fools".
In a statement on X, Karoline Leavitt calls him an "illegal alien terrorist, gang member, and human trafficker".
She says he will now return to the US to "meet the full force of American justice".

If we didn't pay for the BBC via a tax, AKA the TV licence, then you'd have a point
However we do, so you don't
And I am a supporter of the BBC, I think it is a genuine and salutary example of British soft power: it is remarkable how many non Brits associate the UK with the BBC - in a good way. I meet them all the time on my travels. Indeed "the BBC" is probably the third major aspect of "Britishness" that positively and palpably impinges on the world - alongside British sports (esp the EPL), and British music
But the BBC really needs to spruce its comedy output, and make some stuff that tackles the Left, Islam, Wokeness, etc. Man up!
There would have been so much material for comics like Dave Allen and Bob Monkhouse if they were still around today..
Imagine Dave Allen lampooning Islam like he did Catholicism in the 70s, lol!
I switched on HIGNFY for three minutes on the Jenrick section and this is why liberals are losing in this country. They are all such self satisfied wankers. This show should have been cancelled years ago.
Ah come on. A Britain where Robert Jenrick (or an earnest arsehole from any political party) isn't roundly mocked is not a Britain I want to live in.
It was a brilliant bit of politics widely recognised on PB. It was also faintly ridiculous.
Yeah let's mock the guy pointing out how ridiculous crime has become instead of the police, judges and mayor who let it get that way. Like I said, it makes the BBC look like it's completely out of touch with reality.
If a satire show isn't mocking a senior politician running around a train station then something has gone seriously wrong with this country.
1. It's not funny (it hasn't been funny for a decade or more)
2. It nearly ALWAYS aims at the right (which is one reason for its unfunniness, it is predictable = the death of humour)
3. It ignores HUGE targets for satire because it is "progressive" and cowardly. How about a riff mocking Islam, the Religion of Peace, for enforcing blasphemy laws because a by passer tried to gut the Koran-burner with a knife? That seems ripe for satire. Yet they don't go there. I wonder why
It is pathetic. Kill it off
HIGNFY was brilliant for the first 10 or 15 years with Deayton presenting, mainly because he mocked everyone regardless of whether they were left or right.
Yes, he mocked Hislop and Merton as they mocked him. Which made it often quite electrifying to watch
TBH I haven't watched an episode in years. I tuned in a couple of seasons ago for one episode, for about 15 minutes, and it was so desperately cringe and unfunny my scrotum LITERALLY tried to hide up my butthole, our of shameful embarrassment for all concerned. I am sorry for the mental image, but I have to be honest - that is what physically happened

Donald Trump secured 57% of the White vote, while Kamala Harris received 42%
White Men: Trump garnered 60%
White Women: Trump received 53%
White Voters Without a College Degree: Trump 66%
White Voters With a College Degree: Trump obtained 45%
Trump won twice - and, I suspect, could easily win again if allowed - because he won the White vote, which is caucusing on racial grounds, as the Dems are seen as the party of everyone else
Why should Britain avoid this fate? Answers welcome
Because despite many people trying to argue the contrary, we don't have a large block of non white voters with a shared cultural experience of slavery which causes them to have different priorities to the white population. Our immigrant communities are from diverse backgrounds with different voting patterns. For example, Hindus and Cantonese are as much Tory inclined as the white population.
At least you essayed an answer, and for that, thanks
I suggest Britain's racial divide is easily as bad, because - while we do not have the anxious and terrible legacy of slavery on our own soil - we have imported a brand of militant Islam - which America has not
So I predict we will see Britons voting, increasingly, on polarised racial grounds, and Whites will also do this - for the first time
So what is this common White interest that Whites are going to coalesce around?
How about 'not living in somebody else's theocracy'?
How is that a Whites only interest?
Well going back to, er, Max (I think)'s point earlier, it's kind of a coalition of interests - white non-liberals, Indians, HKers, Africans.
A quite interesting comment from one of the audience on GB News this evening, whichI listened to on the way to have a look at out 31-years-to-arrive station footbridge (it must have been sent in the post):
"If Sarah Pochin had replaced "burqa" with "face covering" in her question to the Prime Minister, would Zia Yusuf still be Chairman of Reform?"
This was her PMQ question:
Given the prime minister’s desire to strengthen strategic alignment with our European neighbours, will he, in the interest of public safety, follow the lead of France, Belgium, Denmark and others and ban the burqa?”
EXCLUSIVE: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is on his way back to the U.S. to face criminal charges, sources tell ABC News
If the charges go nowhere he'll be able to make enough from libel actions to retire to Monaco:
White House: Ábrego García to meet 'full force of American justice' published at 21:48
The White House press secretary has just released a statement about the indictment against Ábrego García. She says the charges prove "the unhinged Democrat Party was wrong, and their stenographers in the Fake News Media were once again played like fools".
In a statement on X, Karoline Leavitt calls him an "illegal alien terrorist, gang member, and human trafficker".
She says he will now return to the US to "meet the full force of American justice".
Is the US still the shining city on the hill where the rule of law - a law made collectively and democratically - still is the bedrock?

Remaining in charge and protecting their privileges.
Privileges like being the only group who osn't given preferential treatment in job interviews in the public sector, for example?

Q: You mentioned he had involvement in a murder and was connected with groups involved in a smuggling ring. But the only charges he's facing right now are human smuggling?
BONDI: He's charged with very serious charges of alien smuggling
HIGNFY's problem was going with the guest presenters post-Deayton. Even if they'd only done that for a couple of years as a short-term stop-gap/experiment, they really should have found a new permanent host, as the peak era of the show was founded on the chemistry of Merton/Hislop ribbing Deayton as much as it was actually about the satire of the news and the jokes of the guests.
Parallel universe time:
Boris as permanent host of HIGNFY since about 2003.
I know there are those on here who cannot allow that anything associated with Boris was in any way positive. But the episode he presented was for me the second funniest hour's television I have ever seen. I found it on youtube a few years ago. It's still funny.

Crunch time.
Not an exemplar for sub judice, that's for sure.
And FWIW, they're finally doing what the "unhinged Democrats" asked them to do.
I'll say goodnight then. But sleep will not come easily as I contemplate the emergence of a White bloc vote in response to the very real threat of an Islamic takeover of this country of ours with its Muslim population of 6%.
Thanks a bunch, Max and Leon and William and Andy and Cookie et al.

Reform should win several because at least three of them are Reform Councillors who resigned since May 1 having found that their jobs were not compatible with being a Councillor. I don't think any have been held yet.
(They are still talking about their amazing vetting system.)
I think Reform are also significantly under threat from others things as well as the attempts to transplant parts of the Trump playbook.

And they're all going to vote together against the Muslims and their pinko fellow travellers to head off Sharia Britain? - I can't see it tbh.
And unlikely as it is, this is still not the White vote coalescing on racial lines. It's more of a non-Muslim and non-lefty vote coalescing on 'failure to assess risk due to prejudice and paranoia' lines.

Then you haven't asked her I guess? Indians, HKers and many Africans are all products of the Empire at some level. The cultural values of Indians and Hong Kongers in the UK are very aligned too, I mean I know three mixed marriages with that mix.
I don't think you understand the racial or cultural dynamics of the UK at all. Your comment here is proof. I mean that you couldn't put together that all three of the named people's have got the Empire in common is a pretty big miss.
Don't think it will save her. But it does put clear blue water between the conservatives and the government.
Wishy washy. You don't need a review to decide this. If those are your tests and they are more important than everything else then just say you will leave the ECHR, as Farage has done. There is close to zero market share available that wants a wishy washy exit from the ECHR rather than a bold exit.
This is the setup to a policy that lays out why we should leave the ECHR. Hopefully it gives a well reasoned and researched paper which shows how remote the Strasbourg court is now from member states and how much sovereignty all countries have handed over to this cabal of judges that are simply accountable to no one. This exercise, like the Cass study, may end up becoming one of the major flashpoints with the ECHR across all of Europe. The Netherlands, France, Italy and Germany have all begun signalling their unhappiness with the current status quo and a serious paper that outlines all of the flaws within these specific points could be a game changer, at least for how a new approach could be taken across Europe and potentially pushing the Strasbourg court down to "advisory" status in some scenarios such as deportation hearings etc...
The ECHR was set up by the likes of Churchill as a check and balance to the sort of behaviour that allowed the rise of Hitler. It is quite remarkable that when we leave under Farage/ Jenrick/Badenoch/ Robinson we join a tiny band of dictators from Russia and Belarus, until the next elected right wing nutter takes control of another European state.
Churchill had been retired for years before the Court was established.
And if we leave it, then we would be joining a plethora of democracies including Albanese's Australia and Carney's Canada in not being a member. Is Carney a dictator?
The fact that we are on a different continent to Canada is utterly irrelevant. If its good enough for them, there's no reason it can't be good enough for us.
I know Australia often participate in the Eurovision Song Contest, but since when have they (and Canada) been in Europe? EUROPEAN Convention on Human Rights.
And whoever gave you a "like" needs a geography lesson.
You need a reading comprehension lesson.
I addressed the geography issue already, its utterly irrelevant. It does not matter one jot what continent we are on.
The whole point of HUMAN Rights is they belong to all HUMANS not all Europeans. We share the same humanity as our cousins in Canada and Australia and elsewhere.
If they can have human rights protected without the ECHR, so can we.
You tried to preempt my response, but basically you picked out two compliant non European nations, and I have come back in other posts saying what Court adjudicates on Trump USA misbehaviour? You can't just pick "nice" nations. Tommy Robinson might be our PM by 2029.
Sure you can pick nice nations.
Russia was in the ECHR until its most recent invasion of Ukraine. It wasn't even sanctioned by the Council of Europe in 2019, but do you think it had great human rights then? Or were they better in the nice nations like Canada and Australia?
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Not outsourcing it to a foreign court.
Who is mounting this eternal vigilance?
The electorate.
Ah ok. I was hoping you'd come up with something slightly more reassuring.
God forbid that a liberal lefty might trust the people.
They need some guard rails, is all.
What happens when the majority think the guard rails needed are different to the ones you consider necessary?
A lot of what you lefties for example call for like nationalisation of rail wouldn't be legal under eu rules
That's not what I mean. I'm talking about enshrining certain fundamentals beyond the whim of politicians. I'll put you down as agreeing since I'm sure you would if we spent hours hashing it out. That's the beauty of knowing you the way I do. We don't need to go through all that.
No I don't agree, if 90% of the electorate want something they shouldn't be barred from having it implemented because some flouncy accountant's "progressive" principles feel violated
If 90% want lower taxes, and 90% want more spent on public services, should both wishes be granted?
In California, the voters pass ballot propositions ensuring
1. A balanced budget 2. No tax rises 3. More to be spent on public services
And then they complain that politicians are unable to deliver.

I fear the plot is being rather lost in places.
I think it would boil down to a battle over resources and therefore geography, rather than sticking to racial lines. Stirling would once again become the keystone of Scotland (after the Forth bridges had been taken out by the Fifers).
Or would we in Scotland eliminate all the Reform voters, form a Woke Legion and march south? Dunno.

So I predict we will see Britons voting, increasingly, on polarised racial grounds, and Whites will also do this - for the first time
So what is this common White interest that Whites are going to coalesce around?
How about 'not living in somebody else's theocracy'?
How is that a Whites only interest?
Well going back to, er, Max (I think)'s point earlier, it's kind of a coalition of interests - white non-liberals, Indians, HKers, Africans.
I'm married to a Hong Konger and the idea that they would think they had anything in common with Indians and Africans is laughable.
Then you haven't asked her I guess? Indians, HKers and many Africans are all products of the Empire at some level. The cultural values of Indians and Hong Kongers in the UK are very aligned too, I mean I know three mixed marriages with that mix.
I don't think you understand the racial or cultural dynamics of the UK at all. Your comment here is proof. I mean that you couldn't put together that all three of the named people's have got the Empire in common is a pretty big miss.
Well firstly him and clearly you think you know what he thinks better than he does. Hong Kongers have a radically different view of British Imperial legacy than other ethnicities. I'd pay good money to watch you tell a group of Cantonese people that they're culturally aligned with Indians.
My experience of HKers - as well as other East Asians (Japanese, Singaporeans etc) - is that they would definitely align themselves with “White” as against a left wing progressive muslim black alliance
It really really really should not have come to this. I pray it won’t. But signs are ominous
Donald Trump secured 57% of the White vote, while Kamala Harris received 42%
White Men: Trump garnered 60%
White Women: Trump received 53%
White Voters Without a College Degree: Trump 66%
White Voters With a College Degree: Trump obtained 45%
Trump won twice - and, I suspect, could easily win again if allowed - because he won the White vote, which is caucusing on racial grounds, as the Dems are seen as the party of everyone else
Why should Britain avoid this fate? Answers welcome
Because despite many people trying to argue the contrary, we don't have a large block of non white voters with a shared cultural experience of slavery which causes them to have different priorities to the white population. Our immigrant communities are from diverse backgrounds with different voting patterns. For example, Hindus and Cantonese are as much Tory inclined as the white population.

Tbf there's a lot of inter-east-asian racism too. As far as I can work out, everyone hates the Koreans.
Yeah it's really interesting to hear what other East Asian people think of each other. My Singaporean friends think Hong Kongers are stuck up princesses and my Cantonese relatives think Singaporeans are culturally barren mercenaries who are only interested in making money.

In terms of fighting age males, the woke alliance have an advantage of about 3:1. Don't start a fight you can't win.
In terms of elections, appealing to the gerontocracy is far more effective than this culture/race thing.

Tbf there's a lot of inter-east-asian racism too. As far as I can work out, everyone hates the Koreans.
I’ve never encountered that. In my experience they all hate the Japanese (for quite good reasons given WW2), fear yet historically revere the Chinese (who also complexly fear the Japanese), and they look with a slightly awed bewilderment at Korea and k-culture
I switched on HIGNFY for three minutes on the Jenrick section and this is why liberals are losing in this country. They are all such self satisfied wankers. This show should have been cancelled years ago.
Ah come on. A Britain where Robert Jenrick (or an earnest arsehole from any political party) isn't roundly mocked is not a Britain I want to live in.
It was a brilliant bit of politics widely recognised on PB. It was also faintly ridiculous.
Yeah let's mock the guy pointing out how ridiculous crime has become instead of the police, judges and mayor who let it get that way. Like I said, it makes the BBC look like it's completely out of touch with reality.
If a satire show isn't mocking a senior politician running around a train station then something has gone seriously wrong with this country.
1. It's not funny (it hasn't been funny for a decade or more)
2. It nearly ALWAYS aims at the right (which is one reason for its unfunniness, it is predictable = the death of humour)
3. It ignores HUGE targets for satire because it is "progressive" and cowardly. How about a riff mocking Islam, the Religion of Peace, for enforcing blasphemy laws because a by passer tried to gut the Koran-burner with a knife? That seems ripe for satire. Yet they don't go there. I wonder why
It is pathetic. Kill it off
HIGNFY was brilliant for the first 10 or 15 years with Deayton presenting, mainly because he mocked everyone regardless of whether they were left or right.
Yes, he mocked Hislop and Merton as they mocked him. Which made it often quite electrifying to watch
TBH I haven't watched an episode in years. I tuned in a couple of seasons ago for one episode, for about 15 minutes, and it was so desperately cringe and unfunny my scrotum LITERALLY tried to hide up my butthole, our of shameful embarrassment for all concerned. I am sorry for the mental image, but I have to be honest - that is what physically happened
Haven't seen it since
I try watching it every so often because I'm so hoping that it might magically be more like it used to be in the 90s. It never is, although occasionally you get a presenter who's slightly better at doing the job.

Something to that, though. If you've ever seen a middle-aged Asian lady being rude to staff at an airport, it always turns out to be a Hong Konger or a Singaporean.
Perhaps it's just because they speak good English, but I've seen it several times.

So what is this common White interest that Whites are going to coalesce around?
How about 'not living in somebody else's theocracy'?
How is that a Whites only interest?
Well going back to, er, Max (I think)'s point earlier, it's kind of a coalition of interests - white non-liberals, Indians, HKers, Africans.
I'm married to a Hong Konger and the idea that they would think they had anything in common with Indians and Africans is laughable.
Then you haven't asked her I guess? Indians, HKers and many Africans are all products of the Empire at some level. The cultural values of Indians and Hong Kongers in the UK are very aligned too, I mean I know three mixed marriages with that mix.
I don't think you understand the racial or cultural dynamics of the UK at all. Your comment here is proof. I mean that you couldn't put together that all three of the named people's have got the Empire in common is a pretty big miss.
Well firstly him and clearly you think you know what he thinks better than he does. Hong Kongers have a radically different view of British Imperial legacy than other ethnicities. I'd pay good money to watch you tell a group of Cantonese people that they're culturally aligned with Indians.
My experience of HKers - as well as other East Asians (Japanese, Singaporeans etc) - is that they would definitely align themselves with “White” as against a left wing progressive muslim black alliance
It really really really should not have come to this. I pray it won’t. But signs are ominous
In terms of fighting age males, the woke alliance have an advantage of about 3:1. Don't start a fight you can't win.
lol. You all have tiny penises. You are pathetic. You have dismal sperm counts. You can’t afford houses coz we’ve got them all. Our loonier lefty friends insist on immigrating hostile muslims - who will do your job for nothing - and you still vote for this. You are a pathetic generation and you deserve termination until you vote Reform. Get wise
Donald Trump secured 57% of the White vote, while Kamala Harris received 42%
White Men: Trump garnered 60%
White Women: Trump received 53%
White Voters Without a College Degree: Trump 66%
White Voters With a College Degree: Trump obtained 45%
Trump won twice - and, I suspect, could easily win again if allowed - because he won the White vote, which is caucusing on racial grounds, as the Dems are seen as the party of everyone else
Why should Britain avoid this fate? Answers welcome
Because despite many people trying to argue the contrary, we don't have a large block of non white voters with a shared cultural experience of slavery which causes them to have different priorities to the white population. Our immigrant communities are from diverse backgrounds with different voting patterns. For example, Hindus and Cantonese are as much Tory inclined as the white population.
At least you essayed an answer, and for that, thanks

Tbf there's a lot of inter-east-asian racism too. As far as I can work out, everyone hates the Koreans.
Yeah it's really interesting to hear what other East Asian people think of each other. My Singaporean friends think Hong Kongers are stuck up princesses and my Cantonese relatives think Singaporeans are culturally barren mercenaries who are only interested in making money.
Something to that, though. If you've ever seen a middle-aged Asian lady being rude to staff at an airport, it always turns out to be a Hong Konger or a Singaporean.
Perhaps it's just because they speak good English, but I've seen it several times.
Yeah there's always a grain of truth to all stereotypes. Hong Kongers have spent a long time thinking themselves as uniquely blessed among their neighbours. During the Mao years they were infinitely richer than their sometimes starving neighbours and they thought of mainland refugees in a similar way to how Reform voters see asylum seekers on small boats. Even when the Chinese regained possession they thought of themselves as a privileged exception within the Communist system. It's why the recent crackdowns have been so traumatic for them but that sense of superiority dies hard. Of course all of the above is just a generalisation.

There's a group of very angry - sometimes understandably - working age white men in rough areas who are liable to kick up some violence. The government should be working harder to improve their lot. But everyone else is reasonably satisfied and shudders at the thought of it.

How does one define it, in law? How is it substantively different to wearing a balaclava and gloves in the winter? Or motorcycle gear? Would we be trying to ban a style of clothing, rather than the principle of covering faces? If that’s the case can we also ban the wearing of shoes with no socks (or trainer socks) unless wearing trainers and shorts?

As @Leon said just now, the establishment will try to use the levers of power to outlaw dissent against their agenda. Kemi is right to look at lawfare, but she also needs to look at the establishment using the law to clamp down on dissent and free speech too.
The other two on that list are fair enough for extremism but not the first.
If they think that then Prevent better come after me too.

'It is keeping me awake at night, I'm losing sleep over it. It's giving me nightmares.'
A GB News audience member tells @PatrickChristys she’s fearful about Britain’s future — amid projections white Brits will be a minority in 40
I apologise for the existence of my children and the threat they pose to the fearful white population of Britain.
Whiteshift by Eric Kaufmann is an excellent book on this.
Essentially by 2100, yes, but another 30% or so will be mixed race with other minorities making up the rest.
His view is that they will 'adopt' British values and culture just like Rishi Sunak, Kemi Badenoch or Matthew Syed has.
However, he also acknowledges this is scary for many (to be in the minority) and it's of little good mocking or insulting people with such concerns as small-minded or bigoted if we want a comfortable and stable society.

This exposes the flaw in your argument. People just aren't interested in this stuff, at all. Young people are too woke, as you admit, and old people have too much skin in the game, whether by their property values or their reliance on the state (NHS, state pension).
There's a group of very angry - sometimes understandably - working age white men in rough areas who are liable to kick up some violence. The government should be working harder to improve their lot. But everyone else is reasonably satisfied and shudders at the thought of it.
Donald Trump secured 57% of the White vote, while Kamala Harris received 42%
White Men: Trump garnered 60%
White Women: Trump received 53%
White Voters Without a College Degree: Trump 66%
White Voters With a College Degree: Trump obtained 45%
Trump won twice - and, I suspect, could easily win again if allowed - because he won the White vote, which is caucusing on racial grounds, as the Dems are seen as the party of everyone else
Why should Britain avoid this fate? Answers welcome
Because despite many people trying to argue the contrary, we don't have a large block of non white voters with a shared cultural experience of slavery which causes them to have different priorities to the white population. Our immigrant communities are from diverse backgrounds with different voting patterns. For example, Hindus and Cantonese are as much Tory inclined as the white population.
At least you essayed an answer, and for that, thanks
I suggest Britain's racial divide is easily as bad, because - while we do not have the anxious and terrible legacy of slavery on our own soil - we have imported a brand of militant Islam - which America has not
So I predict we will see Britons voting, increasingly, on polarised racial grounds, and Whites will also do this - for the first time
So what is this common White interest that Whites are going to coalesce around?
How about 'not living in somebody else's theocracy'?
How is that a Whites only interest?
Well going back to, er, Max (I think)'s point earlier, it's kind of a coalition of interests - white non-liberals, Indians, HKers, Africans.
I'm married to a Hong Konger and the idea that they would think they had anything in common with Indians and Africans is laughable.
Tbf there's a lot of inter-east-asian racism too. As far as I can work out, everyone hates the Koreans.
Yeah it's really interesting to hear what other East Asian people think of each other. My Singaporean friends think Hong Kongers are stuck up princesses and my Cantonese relatives think Singaporeans are culturally barren mercenaries who are only interested in making money.
Something to that, though. If you've ever seen a middle-aged Asian lady being rude to staff at an airport, it always turns out to be a Hong Konger or a Singaporean.
Perhaps it's just because they speak good English, but I've seen it several times.
Yeah there's always a grain of truth to all stereotypes. Hong Kongers have spent a long time thinking themselves as uniquely blessed among their neighbours. During the Mao years they were infinitely richer than their sometimes starving neighbours and they thought of mainland refugees in a similar way to how Reform voters see asylum seekers on small boats. Even when the Chinese regained possession they thought of themselves as a privileged exception within the Communist system. It's why the recent crackdowns have been so traumatic for them but that sense of superiority dies hard. Of course all of the above is just a generalisation.
I'm not sure that's the best analogy for you to use if you want us to all be supremely relaxed about the small boat infiltrators across the channel, which you absolutely do.

Then you haven't asked her I guess? Indians, HKers and many Africans are all products of the Empire at some level. The cultural values of Indians and Hong Kongers in the UK are very aligned too, I mean I know three mixed marriages with that mix.
I don't think you understand the racial or cultural dynamics of the UK at all. Your comment here is proof. I mean that you couldn't put together that all three of the named people's have got the Empire in common is a pretty big miss.
Well firstly him and clearly you think you know what he thinks better than he does. Hong Kongers have a radically different view of British Imperial legacy than other ethnicities. I'd pay good money to watch you tell a group of Cantonese people that they're culturally aligned with Indians.
My experience of HKers - as well as other East Asians (Japanese, Singaporeans etc) - is that they would definitely align themselves with “White” as against a left wing progressive muslim black alliance
It really really really should not have come to this. I pray it won’t. But signs are ominous
In terms of fighting age males, the woke alliance have an advantage of about 3:1. Don't start a fight you can't win.

And remember I was right about Covid
You are a racist - as you have shown many times on here - and you are salivating over the thought of a race war in the UK. Of course, you'd just flee to foreign shores when it does happen, in the same way you pathetically fled during Covid.

'It is keeping me awake at night, I'm losing sleep over it. It's giving me nightmares.'
A GB News audience member tells @PatrickChristys she’s fearful about Britain’s future — amid projections white Brits will be a minority in 40
I apologise for the existence of my children and the threat they pose to the fearful white population of Britain.
Whiteshift by Eric Kaufmann is an excellent book on this.
Essentially by 2100, yes, but another 30% or so will be mixed race with other minorities making up the rest.
His view is that they will 'adopt' British values and culture just like Rishi Sunak, Kemi Badenoch or Matthew Syed has.
However, he also acknowledges this is scary for many (to be in the minority) and it's of little good mocking or insulting people with such concerns as small-minded or bigoted if we want a comfortable and stable society.
We need to recognise and engage with it.
If 30% of the population will be "mixed race" (I prefer multiple heritage) surely that is a good thing, and shows willingness to integrate? A willingness of both white and ethnic minorities? Isn't that the opposite of race war, for all but "one drop" extremists?

Then you haven't asked her I guess? Indians, HKers and many Africans are all products of the Empire at some level. The cultural values of Indians and Hong Kongers in the UK are very aligned too, I mean I know three mixed marriages with that mix.
I don't think you understand the racial or cultural dynamics of the UK at all. Your comment here is proof. I mean that you couldn't put together that all three of the named people's have got the Empire in common is a pretty big miss.
Well firstly him and clearly you think you know what he thinks better than he does. Hong Kongers have a radically different view of British Imperial legacy than other ethnicities. I'd pay good money to watch you tell a group of Cantonese people that they're culturally aligned with Indians.
My experience of HKers - as well as other East Asians (Japanese, Singaporeans etc) - is that they would definitely align themselves with “White” as against a left wing progressive muslim black alliance
It really really really should not have come to this. I pray it won’t. But signs are ominous
In terms of fighting age males, the woke alliance have an advantage of about 3:1. Don't start a fight you can't win.
lol. You all have tiny penises. You are pathetic. You have dismal sperm counts. You can’t afford houses coz we’ve got them all. Our loonier lefty friends insist on immigrating hostile muslims - who will do your job for nothing - and you still vote for this. You are a pathetic generation and you deserve termination until you vote Reform. Get wise
This exposes the flaw in your argument. People just aren't interested in this stuff, at all. Young people are too woke, as you admit, and old people have too much skin in the game, whether by their property values or their reliance on the state (NHS, state pension).
There's a group of very angry - sometimes understandably - working age white men in rough areas who are liable to kick up some violence. The government should be working harder to improve their lot. But everyone else is reasonably satisfied and shudders at the thought of it.
I give it 2-4 years
And remember I was right about Covid
You are a racist - as you have shown many times on here - and you are salivating over the thought of a race war in the UK. Of course, you'd just flee to foreign shores when it does happen, in the same way you pathetically fled during Covid.
Steady on.
Are you saying Leon is not a racist?
Have you heard him witter on about the great replacement theory, or his belief that black people have a lower IQ?
What are they, if not racist?
I don't think he is a racist.
I do think you have an unpleasant habit of making your political arguments with other posters on here deeply personal.
Donald Trump secured 57% of the White vote, while Kamala Harris received 42%
White Men: Trump garnered 60%
White Women: Trump received 53%
White Voters Without a College Degree: Trump 66%
White Voters With a College Degree: Trump obtained 45%
Trump won twice - and, I suspect, could easily win again if allowed - because he won the White vote, which is caucusing on racial grounds, as the Dems are seen as the party of everyone else
Why should Britain avoid this fate? Answers welcome
Because despite many people trying to argue the contrary, we don't have a large block of non white voters with a shared cultural experience of slavery which causes them to have different priorities to the white population. Our immigrant communities are from diverse backgrounds with different voting patterns. For example, Hindus and Cantonese are as much Tory inclined as the white population.
At least you essayed an answer, and for that, thanks
I suggest Britain's racial divide is easily as bad, because - while we do not have the anxious and terrible legacy of slavery on our own soil - we have imported a brand of militant Islam - which America has not
So I predict we will see Britons voting, increasingly, on polarised racial grounds, and Whites will also do this - for the first time
So what is this common White interest that Whites are going to coalesce around?
Remaining in charge and protecting their privileges.
Privileges like being the only group who osn't given preferential treatment in job interviews in the public sector, for example?
Can we agree no politics in this weekly "Cookie" column we signed off on the other day?
Stop being an epicene and patronising dickhead
It's the defining feature of being an establishment Liberal.
As @MaxPB indicated last night they genuinely think they're intellectually and morally superior to everyone else.
Since you are keen on grouping people, if not a "establishment Liberal", what group(s) would say you belong in?

A GB News audience member tells @PatrickChristys she’s fearful about Britain’s future — amid projections white Brits will be a minority in 40
I apologise for the existence of my children and the threat they pose to the fearful white population of Britain.
Whiteshift by Eric Kaufmann is an excellent book on this.
Essentially by 2100, yes, but another 30% or so will be mixed race with other minorities making up the rest.
His view is that they will 'adopt' British values and culture just like Rishi Sunak, Kemi Badenoch or Matthew Syed has.
However, he also acknowledges this is scary for many (to be in the minority) and it's of little good mocking or insulting people with such concerns as small-minded or bigoted if we want a comfortable and stable society.
We need to recognise and engage with it.
If 30% of the population will be "mixed race" (I prefer multiple heritage) surely that is a good thing, and shows willingness to integrate? A willingness of both white and ethnic minorities? Isn't that the opposite of race war, for all but "one drop" extremists?

Boris as permanent host of HIGNFY since about 2003.
Aside from Jenrick (a slot of maybe 2 minutes) the only other right wing target was Elon Musk vs Trump. Starmer was the target about 4 times, including one particularly cruel quote from Madame Tussaud’s who haven’t made a waxwork of him because they’re not sure he’ll be relevant in 5 years, there was a piece on eco types pretending to be trees at a council meeting, another with Dee expressing exasperation with Greenpeace, and then a variety of totally apolitical sections.
Yes the comedy level is variable, but the perception here is probably based on politically sensitive types only noticing slights against their own tribe.
I hope I'm not oversharing? - but after watching Have I Got News For You, season 349, episode 6,287, my scrotum - out of some weird shame at the desperate, sad, cringingly bad lefty Woke non-humour - literally disappeared up my arsehole, and has not been seen since

White House: Ábrego García to meet 'full force of American justice'
published at 21:48
The White House press secretary has just released a statement about the indictment against Ábrego García. She says the charges prove "the unhinged Democrat Party was wrong, and their stenographers in the Fake News Media were once again played like fools".
In a statement on X, Karoline Leavitt calls him an "illegal alien terrorist, gang member, and human trafficker".
She says he will now return to the US to "meet the full force of American justice".
Imagine Dave Allen lampooning Islam like he did Catholicism in the 70s, lol!
"If Sarah Pochin had replaced "burqa" with "face covering" in her question to the Prime Minister, would Zia Yusuf still be Chairman of Reform?"
This was her PMQ question:
Given the prime minister’s desire to strengthen strategic alignment with our European neighbours, will he, in the interest of public safety, follow the lead of France, Belgium, Denmark and others and ban the burqa?”
Crunch time.
Good, but not incredible.

Reform should win several because at least three of them are Reform Councillors who resigned since May 1 having found that their jobs were not compatible with being a Councillor. I don't think any have been held yet.
(They are still talking about their amazing vetting system.)
I think Reform are also significantly under threat from others things as well as the attempts to transplant parts of the Trump playbook.
And unlikely as it is, this is still not the White vote coalescing on racial lines. It's more of a non-Muslim and non-lefty vote coalescing on 'failure to assess risk due to prejudice and paranoia' lines.
Which means that the contempt legal process is still live ....
I don't think you understand the racial or cultural dynamics of the UK at all. Your comment here is proof. I mean that you couldn't put together that all three of the named people's have got the Empire in common is a pretty big miss.
1. A balanced budget
2. No tax rises
3. More to be spent on public services
And then they complain that politicians are unable to deliver.
Or would we in Scotland eliminate all the Reform voters, form a Woke Legion and march south? Dunno.
It really really really should not have come to this. I pray it won’t. But signs are ominous
In terms of elections, appealing to the gerontocracy is far more effective than this culture/race thing.
