Also he's a lying, racist sack of sh!t, in good company with Hartley-Spewer. Couldn't manage more than a minute of them. The pearl-clutching use of the phrase 'western civilisation' is always a tell, especially when it's supposedly in 'crisis'. Niall Ferguson was big on this too. For these people it's a problem when the west's glorious tradition of profiting from rapacious colonial land theft, genocide and resource expropriation faces any kind of challenge. They want to continue their comfortable parasitic existence in the imperial heartlands and make sure all the death and destruction stays safely out on the peripheries, ideally affecting only brown-skinned people who they don't even pretend to care about. Barbarians, savages, unlike us enlightened, democratic westerners reacting to desperate acts of resistance by dropping several atomic bombs worth of explosives on a captive population who are among the poorest, most deprived people on the planet.

Fuck the pair of them,
