When a foreign family member (through marriage) came to stay with the Golds for a month, I was excited for them* to get to grips with all things English. I lived abroad with this person for many years and wanted to show them my home culture.

With their enthusiasm, I signed them up for an English course, so that they could gain a better understanding of the language, history and culture of the UK.

But, as the paper I discovered (below) shows, our educators knew better…

*Side Point: See how easy it is to use gender-neutral pronouns to describe an anonymous person? It would be easy to do this for non-binary people. The reason we don’t isn’t because it’s hard - it’s because it’s fucking mental, narcissistic and arrogant. You’re not fucking Cher.

One of the reasons my channel resonates with so many people is that I have spent a lot of time in and around the woke world, specifically in the humanities, book publishing and media: the conceited establishments that appoint themselves educators on a mission to destroy British culture.

I speak their language.

The problem is that those arriving in this country do not. They don’t even speak English yet, let alone understand the nuances of postmodernist psychobabble.

For this reason, my family member didn’t even give the anti-British, anti-white sentiments they taught in the class a second thought. When learning a new language, it’s hard enough to keep up with the class. You take what the teacher says as par for the course rather than questioning the politics.

After a long, boring lectures from teachers, the last thing my family member wanted to do was discuss the class over dinner. Their education at the hands of propagandists went undiscussed.

It was only after they had left these isles that I spotted a piece of paper from their last class. It must have fallen from their folder and slipped under the door.

On the face of it, this is standard language-learning fare about the ethnicities of a country. It’d be strange not to delve into this. But note the photos they chose.

Chinese, black, Arab, Pakistani, Indian and mixed race: all smiling.

White British and Irish: hostile.

The Brit looks like he’s about to throw a punch.

Let’s leave aside the fact that they afforded separate spaces for Pakistani, Indian and Arab, but none for the Jews who have integrated into and contributed to British culture for hundreds of years. Their absence is probably for the best - can you imagine the kind of photo they’d use?

What kind of message are foreigners - the very people that the most optimistic among us are hoping will be persuaded to integrate - taking from their classes?

According to the National Centre for Social Research:

2013: 86% proud of Britain’s heritage.

2023: 64%.

A collapse in just ten years.

Even worse: those who’d rather be British than anything else.

2013: 62%.

2023: 49%.

This is what happens when education turns into indoctrination - the kind of camps Mao would be proud of.

Is it any wonder that the placement of British flags (not the vandalism) was considered racist and inflammatory? Imagine telling an American to lower theirs!

This is a country that has lost its identity and self-worth. Just 11% of Gen Z would fight to defend their country, while 41% would absolutely not, no matter the circumstances. Well, with teachers like that of my family member, why would anyone defend hostile, punch-happy white England?

More pertinently, why would anyone from elsewhere integrate into it? The irony here is that the very people most prominently pushing for immigration are making assimilation impossible.

If these images were a one-off, it’d be easy to put it down to a mistake.

But nobody in their right mind really believes that anymore.

Whether you’re progressively pro-immigration or not, this is a massive problem for integration. Not only does it give immigrants reason to distrust the locals and form their own silos, but it continues to isolate white Brits and sow division.

The legacy media sneers when indies use terms like ‘civil war’. But unless this is confronted, Britain’s divisions will harden into something dangerously close.

The “Personal Cost”

I haven’t written about this publicly before - but there’s a reason I notice these patterns so quickly. A personal one. Paid members can read about how my own time at a foreign language school that left me alienated from my new culture…
