Britain needs Kemi Badenoch – but not just yet

It seems to many of us that British society is falling apart and that this – even more than our present economic difficulties – is the biggest problem politics has to deal with.

This falling apart is not by accident, but by the design of a new cult of leftism that seeks to divide people into rigid identity groups ranked in a hierarchy of vice and virtue based upon the privilege they are said to have enjoyed or the oppression they have suffered.

In the face of prevailing evidence that modern Britain is one of the least racist societies ever to have existed, the public square has become hyper-racialised, with any disparity in outcome across different ethnicities attributed to some form of racism, either active or ‘structural’ – the latter being a catch-all term for when no actual racism can be detected.

Hence male-bodied people are enabled to go into women’s protected spaces if they feel they are or claim to be women, with those who object to this dismissed as bigots – or as Labour’s David Lammy put it: ‘dinosaurs’ seeking to ‘hoard rights’.
