Look Kay, what should be at the front of all our minds are the poor victims of this terrible tragedy. They should be our only concern. But as I was writing on my Substack – there’s a free trial this week, actually – this attack tells us something not just about how terribly Sir Keir Starmer’s government is failing, but also about how decades of multiculturalism have failed our country.
All I’m saying, Amol, is that we might not have been told the truth. Now, I’m not saying this was definitely carried out by an asylum seeker who was driven from Dover in a limousine paid for by the taxpayer. I’m not saying that, I want to be very clear. All I’m saying is that if that is what happened – and I’m not saying it is, Amol, that’s not what I’m saying – but if that is what happened, then that’s not what we’re being told. And I think we’re entitled to ask questions about that. That’s all I’m doing: just asking questions.
I’m back, briefly! I’ve had a jolly couple of weeks travelling Europe by train, and now I’m supposed to be thinking about the next book and promoting The Illusionist ahead of its US release, but I thought I’d offer my contribution to national harmony with a sketch of riot-grifting.
Some non-sketch pieces that ran while I was away…
My new magazine column, Sue Gray’s Inbox…
and my reviews of Twisters and The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
Enjoy your summers.
Brilliant, Rob. Really, really sharp.
Just read your Minister of Ungentlemanly Warfare review and I was about to say I agree wholeheartedly but considering I was so bored by it that I stopped watching about 2/3 of the way through after spending half an hour forcing myself to keep watching I suppose I can’t really say that I totally agree until I manage to force myself to watch the last 45 minutes
My God is it awful
