Really excellent podcast with Delingpole and the leftwing journalist Naomi Wolf.

She says that she recognised years ago that Britain, with its lack of a written constitution, was more vulnerable to the dismantlement of liberty and the imposition of tyranny than the US.
The problem is that, whilst we actually do have a constitution (it is just enshrined in a series of documents dating back to Magna Carta), not enough people know about it, and our political consciousness is not centred on its protection in the way that the American mind is.
But it is ironic that this country - which effectively invented the notion of liberty - is now leading the charge in the West to obliterate freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and the right to roam our civilisation without first being subjected to an experimental therapy.
Americans, currently led by a brain-dead shill of revolutionary Marxism, are looking at us askance just now.

We need to put the fucking brakes on this and start reclaiming our rights and liberties.

But the very notion of liberty right now is being deliberately derided.
To talk of freedom just now is to immediately associate oneself with riGhTwiNg cOnSpirAcy tHeoriEs.

This is how it starts. Bear in mind that all of this was sworn in because of a non-pandemic. It wasn’t a world war. It wasn’t bubonic plague. It was a cough and a temperature.
And look at the fucking state of us politically, morally and individually.

America might well prove to be the shining star of freedom in all this, despite its vicious culture-war. The Constitution may show itself to be impregnable in a way that our common law is not.
As in, politically and culturally, the Constitution may very well prove easier to defend than the system of laws that makes up our legal world, which is subject to continual erosion and piecemeal destruction.

Already in Scotland, speech-crime is *literally* a thing. It is just..
...referred to as “hate-crime” (wtf does that even mean?!).

The common law can die a death of a thousand cuts - law by law and act by act - until it no longer protects the individual and seeks to bring her justice, and instead constrains her in the name of power and ideology.
Scotland is more advanced down this route. Scotland is actually on its way to a nightmarish post-revolutionary hellscape of woke insanity and economic destruction in which the courts are weaponised against the people - but that’s a different story.
Anyway, the point is that the US Constitution enshrines political and moral principles, which are placed on a cultural pedestal as beyond dispute.

We don’t have that. Our system of laws relies on foundational principles - habeas corpus, freedom of speech etc - being passed..
...down the generations as part of a cultural, moral and educational gifting. Our political culture, our happiness and our liberty cannot survive without this transference of values. There is no single political gospel to uphold them. Only *we* uphold these values.
And once these values are fundamentally shaken - as they are right this second - we are in trouble.

And we are in trouble right now. But there could be good reason to believe that the US political fabric will prove more resistant to tyranny than ours.
