Douglas, visiting from his current residence in the United States, discourses on the current state of relations between the British people of all ethnicities and the British government.
Cultural relativism, post-modernism, non-judgementalism, identitarian progressivism - yes, there's a certain amount of modish verbalism here, but these phrases do have meaning and may well reflect some of the ill-founded beliefs that our governments of all recent stripes do exhibit.
Is "migration" a "good" or a "bad"?
Well, the answer cannot just be a simple binary Yes / No - clearly it depends on factors almost innumerable. It needs to be broken down and properly discussed.
" ... we need to have the conversation "
Long, but with a foundation of logic and reason which seems sadly missing from much of today's public discourse, which seems intent on ignoring the many practicalities involved in the enormous varieties of migration.
We don't just need a conversation, we need an adult clear-headed conversation.
But before we can have such a conversation, we need to agree the rules of engagement - are we going to simply exchange emotive labels ad nauseam, or are we going to break the topic down into defined chunks and agree the objectives that we want to emerge at the end?
