Tourette’s syndrome is when you inadvertently say what you are secretly thinking. Just before the summer recess, the new Dutch government took office. Thierry Baudet asked the new prime minister, “Deep State” Dick Schoof, what he thought of the deliberate engineering of demographic change through immigration – what is known as “replacement migration” at the UN, or, more polemically, as “The Great Replacement”.

Thierry did not use any of these terms in his question and yet the PM responded by saying that he did not believe in “conspiracy theories”. Thierry had, of course, not used that term either: he insisted instead that demographic change was no conspiracy but instead an openly admitted ideology. They went back and forth until Schoof let out another astonishing slip: he said he did not believe that the world was governed by an elite, something Thierry had also not mentioned. Instead, the PM said, society “governs itself”.

Well, if that is the case, what is the purpose of holding the government to account? What is the point of elections? What is the point of parliament?

Elections were held last week in Britain and France: John Laughland was interviewed by the former MP, Lembit Öpik, on TNT radio, to comment on both. John said that he thought Starmer would be even worse than Sunak and that his role in the Labour Party is to extinguish what is left of Corbynism – i.e. any scepticism about US foreign policy and Britain’s unconditional support for it and for NATO.

They also discussed the French elections, in the week between the first and second rounds. John correctly predicted what has now indeed taken place, namely that the Macronite centre has collaborated with the various left-wing parties to put the Rassemblement national – which won in the first round – into third place. For decades now, the supposed danger of the extreme right has been used to maintain the establishment’s grip on power. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

Ewen Stewart of Global Britain has written about the Labour victory in Britain, blaming it on the leftist policies pursued for 14 years by the Conservatives, who have not only raised taxes and debt but also introduced woke things like gay marriage. Their re-election in 2019 was thanks to Boris and Brexit but the blob soon turned against Boris and has squandered Brexit since. Labour was handed a massive parliamentary majority because Conservative voters either stayed at home or voted for Nigel Farage. The fate which awaits the Conservatives is therefore that which has befallen the former Gaullists in France, reduced to less than 10% of the electorate.
