Can you help? I'm struggling to understand the far right's atavistic appetite for the medieval peasant lifestyle.

Blaming migrants for France’s riots is scapegoating masquerading as sociology. Correlation is not causation & ethnicity is not an explanation. Reducing structural unrest to migration is intellectually bankrupt: prejudice fills the evidentiary void where analysis should prevail.
France will burn into the late morning hours. To what end? So they can harbour millions who hate everything of what is means to be French?
Was it worth it?
Will it be worth it in Britain, when similar violence inevitably erupts?
I think not.
We watch as migrants ransack Paris whilst flying the flag of various African countries.
Some may have arrived illegally, for most their presence is entirely ‘legal’. Plenty were probably born in France, and are technically ‘French’.
For the rioters, evidently, their allegiance is not to France, or to the French people.
Where does their loyalty truly lie?
Their clan.
The civilised world’s response must reflect that.
Those convicted for arson, organised violence, and attacks on innocent people must face substantial prison sentences - foreign nationals involved must be removed. Citizenships stripped from dual nationals, obviously.
Mass deportations.
Act before they do.
And in exceptional cases, I would go further.
A Restore Britain Government will develop bilateral agreements and mechanisms with third countries to accept second-generation migrant offenders convicted of domestic terrorism and other such serious crimes, who, for now, hold only British citizenship.
There will be no statelessness. It will be conducted fairly, and it will cost, but it will be done, and a message will be sent.
The French should do the same.
If you burn down a city, terrorise law-abiding citizens and torch the society around you - there will be consequences worthy of the crime.
And if your allegiance lies elsewhere, and you demonstrate that through terrorism or extreme violence, a Restore Britain Government will send you to the country you claim allegiance to - if that's where your loyalty lies, we will aim to make that a reality.
Britain is just a few short years behind France.
We’ve had our warning - we must take it.
There is something almost comically non sequiturial about the rhetoric: 52% → 7% is presented as though the arithmetic itself constitutes an indictment. But 7% white British does not mean 7% British, any more than ethnic heterogeneity entails cultural disintegration ...
... in an English grammar school be narrated as a oss rather than as evidence of the widening educational reach of an institution. The implicit premise seems to be that the school has somehow become less English because more of its pupils have ancestry elsewhere. That is not ...
The government’s proposed £100,000 cap is explicitly retrospective to 25 March 2026 precisely because otherwise donors could front-run the legislation and render it nugatory. Thus the genuine democratic question is not whether the state may ever change the rules. It is ...
Britain is now at the stage where Burnham's government is openly declaring it plans to arbitrarily confiscate assets from his main political rival.
Passing retroactive laws to seize his rivals' donations which were perfectly legal when received is the behaviour of a banana republic dictator.
The fact the media is trying to normalise this is even more terrifying.
Know what time it is in Britain.
For those of you who don't know about Hugging Face, OpenAI officially classified the event as a “warning shot”. It proved that advanced multi-agent systems, when given tool access and complex reasoning stacks, can completely bypass intended human controls.
I am optimistic about the potential for coordination. Warning shots like the Hugging Face attack have made pacing agreements between U.S. labs more viable. I don’t feel like we’re on track to prevent a global race, which may require costly actions such as a temporary ban on improving model capabilities.
There is a tragic irony in base, tribal racists burning down the infrastructure designed to alleviate systemic material deprivation. Driven by a weaponised, zero-sum concept of resource allocation their xenophobia has rendered them functionally blind to their own class interests.

Online posts claimed the apartments were being reserved... but for migrants only.

But any morally serious politician would have performed the elementary epistemological autopsy: What exactly happened to your judgement that allowed ethnicity to become evidence? Why did nobody establish who these people were before descending upon their hotel?
A particularly exquisite specimen of political sophistry: the rare moment when the correction of a racist falsehood becomes an occasion for dignifying the mentality that produced it.
THREAD: Patriot Platform
Patriot Platform is less a political movement than a pathological liturgy of national grievance: a small-bore cult of ethnonational resentment attempting to transubstantiate prejudice into sovereignty.

This is not patriotism.
It is ersatz sovereignty for the politically impotent: the compensatory grandeur of people who cannot govern, cannot persuade and cannot tolerate plurality, and therefore discover in the masked multitude the primitive ...
