      @nik-ev3eh You want to see a cry baby, well look in the mirror. Here you, are venting your irritation at hearing opinions you do not agree with. But instead of offering a clear, lucid rebuttal, you make asinine, often personal comments, as evidenced by your posts. Grow up little man, or don't haunt sites like this one. After all, plenty of other places for you to find your views reflected back, and no chance of triggering your tears in the process.

With what happened in Kettlethorpe, with imams demanding the police enforce sharia law, and the police obligingly bowing down to the imams, we now see Pakistan in Yorkshire-----and nobody bats an eyelid.

Even President Putin said, "at the start of the Bolshevik (communist) revolution, Russia went through a similar thing to what the West is currently going through today". There you go, the Bolsheviks have arrived in the UK to take over the political asylum.

I might add that the closing down of pubs & clubs (especially conservative clubs) where political debate was mostly conducted here in the North hasn't helped the conservatives. Give people back their cons clubs, where conservative ppl got together over a drink & brought the family together with family trips out, Christmas pantomimes etc. Ran by conservative committees, paid for mostly by the people via subs. This is how you win from the grass roots up.

    What a wonderful speech! Since her cancellation I have missed reading her articles and hearing her speak on political programmes. If only her clarion call could be heeded but I lack any optimism that this will be the outcome as the Conservative (in name only) Partyself- immolates.
    I fear for this country and its fate if the horrifying status quo represented by either a Starmer or Sunak led government is allowed to prevail. If only there were more voices as articulate and persuasive as Melanie’s on the mainstream media but that is a vain hope given the biased, vacuous bilge which is on offer daily in our national press and television outlets.

      @@dianedrewry32 I'll assume that you are ignorant and don't understand Hebrew, so I'll forgive you for your insults and assume they were unintentional. Isiah 53 was corrupted by the early Chrstians intentionally and you are a victim of their evil. The suffering servant has always been the Jewish people and there are commentaries which pre-date the Chrstian church which prove this. It is the Chrstians who corrupted the verses.
      If you say to me, but how can it be the Jewish people, it's not plural, then YOU DON'T KNOW HEBREW! Throughout the book of Isaiah, the Jewish people are referred to as the “Servant of G-d” and in the singular, e.g. Isaiah 41:8, Isaiah 49:3. Then 1.“He [Israel] was wounded because of (מ) our [the nations] transgression.” (Isaiah 53:5). In this verse the Hebrew letter (מ) means “because of” or “from.” It is never translated as “for” which would incorrectly indicate a vicarious atonement.
      2. “For the transgression of my people they (למו) were stricken.” (Isaiah 53:8). The word they (למו) is plural (see Psalm 99:7) and clearly indicates that this verse does not refer to a single individual. I could go on but that's enough. They are lying to to. The suffering servant is The Jewish people.

Problem is I really do not believe a government, dominated by those from a totally different cultural background, even comprehend ( because of their lack of true British roots) what conservatism actually means. Without this understanding and indeed conviction we, as a nation, are lost.

    At Last! Thank you, Melanie Phillips, this really needed to be said. I have to say though, I'm a working class Welsh man, and even I understand, and understood as a young man at the time, that when Thatcher privatized at least she only went after Industries that were in fact failing, that couldn't be saved, and causing all kinds of problems, Thatcher wasn't a complete Free Market Ideologue, she was at least practical and drew a ring around where she would not go. It was "New Labour" that saw nothing at all as sacred. It was Labour that "Dumbed down the press", it was Labour that demolished pub culture and local businesses, it was Labour that helped facilitate the financial collapse that followed immediately after their "Light Touch Regulation", whilst trying to push 'Identity cards' off on the British people having released countless criminals, including rapists and murderers, into the population after a computer mix up. We do need Tradition, we do need a foundation on which to stand, we need strong families, We need a stake in the game again, and we need to be strong to defend ourselves from the so called "Left-Wing". Conservatives Everywhere! Stop pushing Us Away! We are Patriots who support the Crown too! Bakunin said it, Russell said it and Orwell said it also, "The Left" are driven by a hatred, resentment and jealousy of the wealthy and successful. It's not the Working class that have a chip on their shoulder, it's the Labour Party!

    An admiral depiction of conservatism that we have not seen in this country for decades. I fear in this country and at this moment that we have political wets who pander to the crowds who shout the loudest and we have sharlaton conservatives who dress themselves up as conservatives. Unless we can identify and reject these individuals I see no short term fixes that we undoubtedly need. I long for days when we were free agents unobtrusive government and unfettered by ridiculous laws and demands to obey our so called masters.
    I fear for my children and my country during this war especially as we now have a sovereign who seemingly embraces the woke and is and has been for a very long time been outspoken politicaly.
