What happens when a nation loses the confidence to speak honestly about itself? Ed West joins James Orr to dissect Britain’s immigration debate, the economic pressures driving mass migration, and the growing sense that political elites have lost control. From cultural fragmentation to the reshaping of class politics, this conversation confronts the deeper forces redefining modern Britain.
Substack is the home for great culture
About immigration. My ancestors emigrated to the United States because they heard there was work for farmers and on the railroad. They had a productive job when they arrived. They had to prove they knew someone in the country upon arrival. That was 1907.
I am not seeing that as a bad thing.
Thank you for a thoughtful conversation.

I like it when one of them puts their hand over their mouth, or looks all surprised. lol.
What a giant performative shit hole sandbox. The death of public intellectuals.
