Douglas Murray, Kate Andrews and James Forsyth discuss Ollie Robinson's suspension from the England cricket team.

The 27-year-old was suspended when tweets from when he was a teenager surfaced after his test debut. 'For a lot of people, it just looks like such an extraordinarily retributive thing to do. The timing is so vengeful', Douglas says.

Douglas, James and Kate also discuss the decision by students at Magdalden College at the University of Oxford to remove a picture of the Queen from one of their postgraduate meeting rooms.

Finally, they discuss how culture wars manifest themselves today. James says: 'Contextualisation is a much better approach to this stuff than trying to silence your opponent, pull down statues, no platform people.'

Douglas adds: 'There is a very high level of public awareness and dissatisfaction of the racialisation of the rhetoric. Particularly the use of 'White' as a pejorative term.'

Douglas Murray and Yanis Varoufakis join Freddie Sayers.

Accompanying article here: https://unherd.com/thepost/douglas-murray-and-yanis-varoufakis-the-eu-is-broken/

Listen to the podcast version: https://shows.acast.com/lockdowntv-with-freddie-sayers/douglas-murray-and-yanis-varoufakis-the-eu-has-failed

The EU has had a difficult pandemic. A slow procurement of vaccines, followed by a botched rollout, and blame-shifting by its leaders has drawn together critics from all politics stripes. Two of unlikely bedfellows from very different political traditions, Douglas Murray and Yanis Varoufakis, joined Freddie Sayers for a discussion about the bloc at an UnHerd members event.

Murray's feelings about the EU are well-known, having long been a critic of the bloc and writing a best-selling book on the subject. Varoufakis, meanwhile, has been on more of a journey. Once a staunch proponent of the 'Remain and Reform' position of the EU, the former Greek finance minister was a prominent backer of the Remain campaign in 2016. But fast-forward four years and Yanis’ views on the EU began to shift. In an interview with UnHerd during the UK’s first lockdown, he said that was so dismayed by the efforts to undo the result that he changed his mind on Brexit. This week, he made his most unambiguous statement yet, confirming that the EU's poor vaccine rollout has convinced him of the virtues of Brexit

#CancelCulture #RadicalLeft
In his groundbreaking work, Areopagitica (1644), English author John Milton offered the first comprehensive plea for freedom of speech in the West. The opponents of free speech, he wrote, would cause “the discouragement of all learning, and the stop of truth.” The enemies of free speech are back. As in the United States, Leftist groups in Great Britain have attempted to shut down speech on the nation’s university campuses, tear down statues of historical figures, and censor debate in the public square. But the British government is confronting the scourge of cancel culture. Recently, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced new rules to strengthen freedom of speech in higher education and penalize attempts to silence legitimate debate. The Conservative government is also introducing legislation to protect British statues and monuments from mob rule. What can America learn from Great Britain in the fight against cancel culture?

Join us as British experts shares their thoughts on lessons from across the Atlantic toward defeating cancel culture and protecting free speech.

__________________________

What’s happening to Europe? The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 was seen as a triumph for liberal democracy. True, the ‘end of history’ narrative didn’t play out across the world as many predicted. But in Europe political liberalism seemed unshakable, supported as it was by international business and transnational organisations such as the EU and NATO.

But now Europe stands at a precarious moment. Anti-establishment and anti-EU political parties are on the rise. Brexit and the presidency of Donald Trump add to the uncertainty. And while Marine Le Pen didn’t sweep to victory in the recent French presidential election, the new president Emmanuel Macron faces an uphill battle to fix the French economy and reform the EU’s institutions. If he fails, Le Pen could be well set to win the presidency in 2022.

How can we account for this surge of support for far-right and populist parties in Europe? Conventional wisdom has it that it is only in times of economic hardship and high unemployment that these groups begin to gain ground. That may be true of France, which took a serious knocking in the 2008 crash and has a high rate of joblessness. But the Dutch sit comfortably high in all the OECD rankings for income levels, employment and life satisfaction. And look at Poland, a country initially seen by the west as a post-communist success story. Although it has been largely unaffected by the Eurozone crisis and has no immigration as such, a xenophobic, authoritarian government is now in charge.

In this major Intelligence Squared event, we brought together a star panel to explore the reasons behind the rise of populism in Europe and to discuss where the continent is heading next. Is far-right politics the new normal? How will the continent deal with the effects of continuing large-scale immigration and its entrenched economic woes?

__________________________

Why do they do it? Again and again, after every attack, our media react by giving the terrorists exactly what they want – maximum publicity. Of course, the public should be told that an atrocity has taken place. But each attack dominates the news for days at a stretch. The TV networks go into overdrive, flying out their journalists to the scene of the attack and saturating their airtime. All this plays into the hands of terrorist organisations, allowing their killers to be glorified in the eyes of their supporters. In addition, the wall-to-wall news coverage creates a climate of fear and fuels the more authoritarian and xenophobic strands of our politics. President Trump’s recent actions – banning refugees and appearing to reference fictional terrorist attacks in Sweden – might be seen as an inevitable consequence of this hysteria. We should get things into proportion. After all, you’re more likely to fatally slip in the shower than be killed in a terrorist attack.

This is the line that was taken by former Times editor and Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins. He was joined by Fawaz Gerges, a prominent expert on ISIS and al-Qaeda who has extensively researched the historical roots of jihadi extremism on the ground in the Middle East. Gerges explained how the West has played into the narrative of terrorists by portraying them as an existential danger, rather than as mere common criminals.

But for national security commentator Douglas Murray, the only way to defeat terrorism is to tackle it head on, speaking plainly about the true scale of the threat. The recent wave of attacks by ISIS was just the beginning, he argued. Over a thousand foreign fighters have recently returned from Syria to Europe, and are highly likely to pose a risk to our security. It’s vital that our media and authorities keep the public fully aware about the terrorist threat and encourage everyone to be vigilant. Honest reporting is absolutely crucial, especially when society itself is under attack. As for ISIS, how they are portrayed in the mainstream media is a matter of indifference to them – their publicity strategy is all about broadcasting their attacks on social media to an audience of millions, not headlines in the press.

In a year of political earthquakes have we entered a new era or is it back to the 1980s with a Conservative majority and a red Labour in opposition? Discuss with the Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland, singer Billy Bragg, Women's Eqaulity Party co-founder Catherine Mayer, The Spectator’s Douglas Murray and Observer columnist Nick Cohen.

Douglas Murray is a British conservative author and journalist, and associate editor of The Spectator. In 2017 Murray wrote The Strange Death of Europe, taking on the issue of the global immigration crisis, and now he returns with The Madness of Crowds, a book about identitarianism in four areas: 'gay', 'women', 'race' and 'trans'.

Douglas speaks to Alex about the logic of reparations and a retributive approach to historical injustice, as well as the nature of gender, and the advocacy tactics of the LGBT community.

Douglas Murray raises the point that the argument often used for immigration is that there are jobs that British people will not do, he says that this is racist. He quotes statistics from studies showing that the British people think that there is too much immigration happening in the UK. He concludes by saying that immigration isn't the problem but it's the speed of immigration that is.

OPINION

IT’S funny how the tables can turn isn’t it? Just one month ago this country was being bullied by the EU — and France in particular.

Under the guise of Covid the French President tried an early punishment-beating of this country for daring to leave the EU. Huge backlogs of trucks began to form at Dover.

How happy some of our still bitter Remainers were at the sight.

They wanted us to be made to learn a lesson.

They wanted the British to be forced to learn the error of our ways.

Well here we are a month later, and how different everything looks now.

Script:

What kind of future do we have if we destroy our past?

Has anyone who has pulled down a statue of Churchill, Lincoln, or Columbus thought to ask themselves this question?

I doubt it.

The presumption that we can stand in perfect judgment over the lives of historical figures is not merely foolish and unfair, it's dangerous.

Consider what the statue destroyers are, in effect, saying.

They are saying that people in history should have known what we know.

That's tantamount to saying, they should have known the future.

This is, of course, absurd.

Yet more and more, people believe it.

Why?

Simple.

It's what they are taught.

It is the fruit of an education system that long ago prioritized "empathy" over facts; that believes the ultimate point of history is not to learn lessons from it, but to judge it from the pre-ordained left-wing conclusions about such ill-defined concepts as social justice, equity, and tolerance.

Apart from breeding ignorance, this kind of education invites the student (the child, really) to be judge, jury, and executioner over issues that they (and increasingly their teachers) know little or nothing about.

Because no one has bothered to teach them the nuance, complexity, and context that is history.
It also breeds arrogance:

"I know things these people did not know. Therefore, I am better than they were. They have nothing to teach me. In fact, I must teach them."

And down comes the statue.

A new, "better" history must take the place of the old one.

In America this impulse has culminated in The 1619 Project — an initiative started by The New York Times and now in schools everywhere — which attempts to make the arrival of the first African slaves into the American colonies the foundational date of the American republic.

1776? The American Revolution? In the new history that was just about protecting the Founders' slave interests. These men — some of the most remarkable humans to have lived at any time — are to be understood simply by their attitude toward this one issue.

The 1619 Project seeks to portray America — the freest, most prosperous nation in world history — as exceptional only in one respect: insofar as being exceptionally bad.

This is a purposefully destructive view of history. It is one intended to pull down rather than build up.

A healthy, humane, and – in the truest sense – liberal mind does not view history as a mere playpen for our moral judgment. It recognizes that people in the past acted on the information they had, just as we do today.

Sure, it would have been nice if the Founders of America had abolished slavery in its Constitution. Some, in fact, tried very hard to do so. But had they been unwilling to compromise, there would be no Constitution and no United States. All the sacrifices of the Revolution would have been lost. So, a compromise balancing the interests of the northern states and the southern states was reached.

It would have been nice if the Japanese had surrendered before atom bombs were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but they didn't. President Truman had to make his decision based on the information he had at the time — that an Allied invasion of the Japanese home island would cost at least a million lives, both American and Japanese.

Of course, the woke mind abhors these subtleties. It knows that it is right and that everybody before our current age — year zero — should have known better. Anyway, they were all bigots. Why should we give them any benefit of the doubt, let alone admire them or learn from them?

Well, maybe because, like everyone else, the great figures of the past did the best they could under the circumstances in which they found themselves. That their efforts largely succeeded is why we are here.

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Douglas Murray (author of ‘The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity’) about what he learned from spending time with Antifa during protests in Portland, his thoughts on Trump’s voter fraud claims, and the take over of mainstream media by fragile woke millennials who cry at the announcement of Jordan Peterson’s new book Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life. Douglas first shares his stories from Portland, Oregon. He spent time there with Antifa as they launched violent protests against gentrification and ICE. He describes the strategies he saw them use to instigate police into using tear gas and pepper spray while they make sure it is caught on camera to give the appearance of police brutality. He shares how they have used threats of violence to intimidate journalists like himself and Andy Ngo. He also tells a heartbreaking story of a black owned business that had shots fired into its store simply for having photos on the wall of police, firefighters, and first responders.

Douglas Murray shows how the people who are always in favour of the latest woke doctrine are the same people who wanted to bring down Western Capitalism in days gone by. Unregenerate Marxists. You'll find plenty of them in the academy according to Douglas.
