Mind the Gap in the Salisbury Review The author of Tomorrow is Another Country, Myles Harris, has popped up with a free article in the current Salisbury Review. It is titled “Made in Broadcasting House” and, fairly obviously therefore, is an attack on the liberal media’s long culture war against the native British peoples. Here are the best bits:-
At this point Harris lapses into twittering on about an English Hitler being nurtured deep in the heart of white righteousness. This is silly, self-defeating talk. He has fallen into the very Marxian trap he was warning us against, internalising the moral worldview of the left and making it impossible for him to prosecute his argument to its logical conclusion. And that, unsurprisingly to all who read us here, is that to survive we must repatriate to the status quo anti. Now, notwithstanding Harris’ unnecessary and stilted conclusion, this is otherwise an entirely clear-eyed article of the anti-liberal type which MR readers know very well. It is good to see in the dry, serious atmosphere of the Salisbury Review. Like BNP council seats, it represents progress - albeit at the other end of the intellectual scale. But it isn’t an argument one instantly associates with British Conservatism. Too hard-edged, too racial. After so many vile decades of leftist moralising, just too dangerous. As it happens the morally safe and “conventional” position on Conservatism is espoused in the other free article on the SR site - by the doyen of the old guard of the Tory right, Norman Tebbit, no less. He manages to inform us that:-
So far, so good. But then he goes all spineless with this:-
So Norman - as right-wing and non-modern Tories get - is a believer in assimilation. He thinks that the solution to the race question in Britain is a monoculture. But, importantly, it is a multiracial monoculture governed by Tories like him - Tories who, perversely, think the people are sovereign. It’s the fast-track to white racial extinction, of course, and “the people” are just beginning to understand it, however faintly for now. But no such concern colours Tebbit’s thinking. He is modern enough to hold to first principles which are politically pragmatic. Assimilation does not “make life easier”. That isn’t where the pragmatism lies. No, it is all we can supposedly enact from our present, morally infirm position. But this is plainly untrue. It is all that the leaders of conventional politics have the moral firmness to enact. I have said innumerable times that “relevancy”, “pragmatism”, “realism” etc have been the bane of Conservative politics since the rise of the industrial working class. Disraelian realism saved the husk of the Party from itself almost a century and a half ago. But it left Conservatism behind, unused, unwanted. A terrible price to pay for political survival though this was, it is as nothing to what we face paying today if we follow Tebbit’s monocultural/multiracial recommendation. In the darkness of the present it is not Conservativism or the Conservative Party which will disappear into the past, but ourselves. It is for our very survival as we are, truly sovereign in our own homeland, that we must now make, or remake, our politics. Harris, I feel, is close to incorporating the ultimate value of survival into his thinking. Thereby, he will arrive at the kind of conclusion most of us do - sans Hitlers, I might add. Tebbit and his race-blind kind plainly never will, which is a great shame because in so many ways he has been a long-time and staunch defender of the right’s general cause. Comments:Post a comment:

I think the British have become quite jaundiced and sophisticated at reading the implications of media bias. They know that the huge attention given to every case of Evil White violence is a tacit confession that most interracial crime is the other way round: man-bites-dog equals white-attacks-black.
Sooner or later they will become bored with this game of bait-and-switch and demand that such incidents are reported less selectively. The feedback most MSM now permit consumers will put more pressure on the copytasters and gatekeepers to present a rounded picture.
As for Tebbit—he’s become a bit of a JJ Ray, laboriously trying to prove that those frightful oiks in the BNP—not to be confused with Chingford skinheads, dear me no—should be shunned because they’re ‘left wing’. So that’s all right then. We can breathe a sigh of relief and go on sullenly supporting Notting Hill Dave and the Playboys of Globalism: ‘nothing to the right!’ except UKIP (a flop except at Euro elections) and Veritas (defunct).
Tebbit, wittingly or not, aligns himself with the blank-slaters in supposing that assimilation of large numbers of recent arrivals from non-Caucasoid backgrounds is possible; that such people could ever think themselves into being ‘British’ or even ‘English’, as Macaulay once hoped the upper crust of native India could. There is not one modern historical instance of such a transformation occurring: Negroes, for example, remain fundamentally at odds with whites in the USA after 300-400 years of co-existence, although the USA did not have so much of a dominant culture for them to have to crack. If we cannot induce our UK unassimilables to ship out quickly, the ghettoes Tebbit reprobates would be preferable to forcing alien minorities to rub shoulders with the people to whom alone this archipelago rightly belongs.
Looking back, it becomes ever more clear that the systematic denigration of British traditions and continuities under Thatcher, Tebbit and their kind was far more subversive of British nationhood than their empty anti-EU posturings. When it came to the crunch, these neo-conservatives did as little to reverse social liberalism in race and immigration policy as in most of its nation-killing aspects; they were hamstrung by their Liberal-ish rhetoric of freedom and individualism, which easily elides from economics to larger aspects of personal conduct. In the old days of noblesse oblige, no Conservative government would have expired in such a welter of corruption as Major’s. It was the playing out of tendencies engendered by Thatcher and Tebbit.
The Thatcherite foreign policy of subservience to the USA as its little brother in NATO was no break with the past. Instead of decisively repudiating imperial nostalgia, she sought to prolong it as junior partner to a New World hegemon, with consequences we now behold in the Middle East. (And she was always bowled over by rich Jews, from Keith Joseph onward.)
Even the economic legacy was ambivalent. Smashing trade unions—which on the whole had done more good than harm to British national solidarity—and flogging off State industries to the benefit of international financiers, while presiding over the shredding of our manufacturing and agricultural capacity, left us wide open to globalising tendencies. I would rather have had a Tory government of the Japanese LDP type: bowing and smiling to all foreign devils while keeping the ramparts of Fortress Britain strong and head-high.
