Kære Pelle Dragsted Du har gennem hele din karriere udstrålet en næsten rituel irritation over rige mennesker – og særligt over Elon Musk, som nu har overskredet trillionær-grænsen. Måske kunne du gøre os alle den tjeneste at svare på et enkelt, konkret spørgsmål: Hvad har du egentlig skabt?Ikke hvad du har kritiseret, demonstreret imod, fordømt eller krævet andre skal betale for. Men hvad har du selv bygget, opfundet, startet eller skabt af værdi, som ikke var her før dig? Jeg ved godt, du har tilbragt årtier med at råbe om samfundets urimeligheder. Det er prisværdigt at påpege problemer. Men at pege på andres succes og kalde det uretfærdighed er ikke at skabe. Det er blot at skabe sig. Og det er en forskel, selv en professionel kritiker burde kunne forstå.

Tout le monde devient fou parce qu'Elon Musk a une fortune de 1 000 milliards de dollars. Très bien. Faisons les comptes, calmement. L'État fédéral américain dépense 7 000 milliards de dollars par an. La fortune entière d'Elon, accumulée sur 30 ans de travail, représente 52 jours de dépenses de Washington. L'État français dépense 1 700 milliards d'euros par an, 57% du PIB, record absolu du monde développé. La fortune d'Elon, c'est 7 mois de dépenses publiques françaises. Maintenant, la question que personne ne pose : qu'est-ce que chacun a produit avec cet argent ? Washington, avec 7 000 milliards par an : un déficit de 1 800 milliards, une dette de 38 000 milliards, et des intérêts de la dette qui dépassent désormais le budget militaire. La Californie de Newsom a brûlé plus de 15 milliards dans un train à grande vitesse qui n'existe pas. La NASA a dépensé plus de 24 milliards pour développer le SLS, une fusée jetable à 4 milliards le lancement. La France, avec 1 700 milliards par an : un hôpital en crise permanente, une école qui s'effondre dans les classements internationaux, 3 400 milliards de dette, et pas une seule entreprise technologique de rang mondial créée en 25 ans. Elon, avec une fraction microscopique de ces budgets : le Falcon 9 développé pour environ 400 millions de dollars, là où la NASA estimait elle-même qu'il lui en aurait coûté 4 milliards. Dix fois moins cher. Des fusées qui atterrissent. Le coût du kilo en orbite divisé par 20. Starlink qui connecte des millions de personnes que les plans d'aménagement du territoire ont oubliées pendant 40 ans. Tesla qui a forcé toute l'industrie automobile mondiale à basculer vers l'électrique, ce que 30 ans de COP et de subventions n'avaient pas réussi à faire. Donc récapitulons. Les États ont des moyens 10 à 50 fois supérieurs, le monopole de la loi, le monopole de l'impôt, et des décennies d'avance. Elon a beaucoup moins de moyens, zéro pouvoir de contrainte, et il surperforme tout le monde, dans tous les domaines où il entre. Ce n'est pas un hasard. C'est structurel. Quand un entrepreneur alloue son propre argent, chaque erreur lui coûte personnellement, donc il apprend vite. Quand un bureaucrate alloue l'argent des autres, chaque erreur est invisible, diluée, et souvent récompensée par un budget supplémentaire l'année suivante. L'un a une boucle de feedback, l'autre n'en a pas. La conclusion s'impose d'elle-même : le pouvoir de créer des systèmes dans le monde réel doit TOUJOURS être donné aux entrepreneurs qui allouent leur propre argent. Pas parce qu'ils sont meilleurs moralement. Parce qu'ils sont les seuls à payer le prix de leurs erreurs, et donc les seuls capables de corriger. Milei a TOUT compris. Re-regardez son discours de Davos. "L'État n'est pas la solution, l'État est le problème lui-même." Tout le monde a ri en 2024. L'Argentine est sortie de l'hyperinflation pendant que la France cherche encore 40 milliards d'économies qu'elle ne trouvera jamais. L'histoire ne juge pas les intentions. Elle juge l'allocation.

Hvordan kunne det ske, at tusindevis af overgreb og voldtægter begået mod mindreårige hvide arbejderklasse piger i Storbritannien, det forblev en offentlig hemmelighed i årevis? Det har vi reelt lige set en demonstration af i slow-motion, i tilfældet med de unge piger fra Dundee i Skotland, der trak knive og økser mod en bulgarsk mand. Klippet blev delt vidt og bredt og den meget unge pige og hendes søster virkede tydeligt oprevne, bange og vrede i klippet. Politiet i Skotland skyndte sig at slå ned på højreorienteret “misinformation”, venstrefløjen skyndte sig at påstå at manden blev udsat for et racistisk overgreb af disse unge piger, medierne lavede indslag om at Musk, Tommy Robinson m.fl. delte konspirationsteorier og misinformation om sagen og endnu værre, medierne tog aktivt side mod pigerne og konstaterede at de faktisk var helt gale på den. Ingen af de etablerede institutioner bekymrede sig om pigerne, de valgte aktivt og vel egentligt instinktivt side med udlændingen, der jo netop i det woke krænkelses-hysteris pyramide om hvem det er mest synd for, er mest synd for. Så ligesom i Rotherham, så var frygten for at blive kaldt racist, den store forståelse for den fremmede kultur og lign. så dominerende at man valgte side i mod de unge piger. Men nu, i denne uge kom så en dom i retten i Dundee og det var faktisk den bulgarske mand der starter problemerne, ved at sige til de 12-14 årige piger: “hello sexy I'll show you a good time”. Herefter svinede de ham til, hvilket helt objektivt er fucking sejt af de unge piger, hvorefter han bliver fysisk overfor dem, kontakter sin søster og de sammen yder vold mod pigerne. Først efter pigerne er blevet væltet, slået og trukket rundt i håret finder de kniven og øksen frem. Videoovervågning og vidneudsagn skyder altså den oprindelige forklaring ned og giver pigerne ret i deres fortælling. Men hvad nu hvis der ikke var trådt nogen frem? Hvad nu hvis videoovervågningen ikke havde vist hvad der skete? Ja, så var den falske fortælling om pigerne og om hvad der skete blevet den forankrede fortælling i den fælles bevidsthed. Men mon medierne i UK finder årsag til at analysere hvad de gjorde galt? Mon det skotske politi der sagde, at det der viste sig at være sandheden var “misinformation”, de lærer af det her? Jeg håber det. Men jeg har min skepsis. For det var jo den nærmest instinktive mistillid til pigerne vi så, for de var arbejderklasse og hvide. Det var jo præcis det der gjorde at Grooming gang skandalerne kunne forsætte i så mange år. Den identitetspolitiske virus er svær at udrydde, men det må og skal ske. Ellers får vi ikke retfærdige samfund. Og hvis i tror det ikke kunne ske i Danmark? Så husk på, at vi altså har haft debatter og samråd om den her slags ting i Folketinget, hvor vi netop har set enorme forskelle i hvordan myndighederne agerer i forskellige sager, alt efter etniciteten på borgerne.

🚨 Dziś wchodzi w życie PAKT MIGRACYJNY❗ Co należy z nim zrobić pokazałam w Parlamencie Europejskim przed Ursulą von der Leyen❗🗑️ Głównym i skandalicznym elementem tego paktu jest tzw. mechanizm solidarnościowy - Komisja Europejska co roku będzie decydowała, czy łaskawie zwolni nas z przymusowej relokacji imigrantów. A jeśli tego nie zrobi i my nie przyjmiemy narzuconej puli imigrantów, to za każdego nieprzyjętego będą żądać od nas kary 20 tysięcy euro. To tak naprawdę nie pakt migracyjny, tylko szantaż migracyjny i trzeba o tym mówić głośno! A rząd Tuska od początku kłamie i manipuluje, że Polska została zwolniona z paktu - nie, nie została! Na razie łaskawie pozwolili nam nie przyjmować imigrantów tylko DO KOŃCA ROKU, bo uznali, że jesteśmy pod presją migracyjną z Ukrainy. Ale podkreślmy - Bruksela bierze pod uwagę sytuację tylko z ostatnich 5 lat, więc tę presję będą uważali za coraz mniejszą! W grudniu znów będziemy musieli prosić ich o zwolnienie i tak w kółko... Za pomocą tych przepisów unijni biurokraci co roku mogą szantażować nas przymusowo narzucanymi imigrantami bądź karami za ich nieprzyjmowanie. Można być pewnym, że Komisja Europejska von der Leyen będzie to wykorzystywać jako narzędzie politycznego nacisku w kampanii wyborczej. I właśnie po to eurokratom potrzebny jest pakt migracyjny - z jednej strony będzie to narzędzie nacisku politycznego na państwa członkowskie, a z drugiej mechanizm legalizowania nielegalnych imigrantów, którzy bezprawnie przedostają się do UE i potem przymusowego rozdzielania ich po różnych krajach. Ale jestem pewna, że prędzej czy później zmienimy to. Prawica zyskuje w całej Europie i przyjdzie czas, gdzie wspólnie z innymi państwami cofniemy pakt migracyjny i skutecznie zamkniemy granice UE przed zalewem imigrantów! Co trzeba zrobić? Krótko i na temat 👇 ✅ Pakt migracyjny do kosza - odrzucamy w całości, nikogo nie przyjmujemy i nic nie płacimy - i co nam zrobicie? ✅ Koniec z przyjmowaniem imigrantów z państw muzułmańskich ✅ Zakaz przyjmowania imigrantów mających na koncie choćby jedno przestępstwo ✅ Ekspresowa deportacja za każde złamanie prawa To tak na dobry początek. Polska musi być dla nas wszystkich i całej Europy synonimem BEZPIECZEŃSTWA! 🇵🇱

Actualmente viven en Europa 50 millones de musulmanes. Había menos de 500.000 en 2000, hace sólo 26 años. No es teoría del reemplazo, es reemplazo. Es la conquista de un continente sin disparar una sola bala. Es un colapso de la civilización.

I disse dage ser vi begivenheder udspille sig, som bør ryste os i vores grundvold og få os til at overveje, om vi grundlæggende har fejlet som samfund. Uskyldige europæere myrdes på åben gade af migranter. Først 18-årige Henry Nowak, som blev stukket af en migrant og blødte ihjel i politiets varetægt, fordi de gav ham håndjern på og sigtede ham for påstået racisme mod gerningsmanden. Den unge mand gjorde flere gang opmærksom på, at han var blevet stukket, hvortil den ene betjent blot svarede: »Det tror jeg ikke, at du er, kammerat.« Senest gik det ud over 44-årige Stephen Ogilvie i Belfast. En asylansøger fra Sudan gik amok med kniv og forsøgte at skære halsen over på sagesløse Stephen, som også mistede sit ene øje. Det er næsten ikke til at bære. Det mest rædsomme er, at vi har vænnet os til historier som disse; de er blevet en del af den europæiske dagligdag. Vi må sande, at det multietniske eksperiment har fejlet. Den eneste måde at råde bod på miseren er ved at iværksætte omfattende remigrationsindsatser. Vi kommer ikke uden om det. Desto før vi erkender dette, desto mere skånsom kan processen blive. Remigration er den milde løsning. Hvis man er i tvivl, kan man bare se, hvad der foregår i Storbritannien. Borgerkrigslignende tilstande udspiller sig i disse dage, fordi magthaverne konsekvent har nægtet at forholde sig til de problemer, de har påført den indfødte befolkning. Remigration er uundgåeligt. Der er ingen vej tilbage nu. #dkpol #dkmedier

Was Millionen Deutsche nicht mehr länger ertragen wollen, ist, man muss es so klar benennen, die Invasion einer zutiefst feindseligen Macht: Der kämpferisch-monströse, vielfaltsverachtende und mörderisch antisemitische und anti-westliche Islamismus marschiert in Deutschland. Seine Kämpfer sind unter uns. Junge Männer im wehrfähigen Alter, die niemals etwas anderes akzeptieren werden als die Sharia, die es als ihre heilige militärische oder demografische Mission begreifen, jeden Quadratmeter, den sie halten, zu islamisieren und alle anderen Kulturen und Religionen, also uns, zu unterwerfen. Wer sie erkennen will, kann sie an ihrer Kleidung, ihren Bärten, ihrem Auftreten mühelos erkennen. Jeder Mensch, der nicht ideologisch verblendet ist, kann bestätigen, dass man in diesem Land noch nie so viele Vollverschleierungen, Niqabs und Burkas gesehen hat wie HEUTE. Spoiler: MORGEN aber werden es noch mehr sein. Als jemand, der als Reporter ein blutiges Jahrzehnt in den Einöden des Islamismus und unter islamistischen Kämpfern verbracht hat, kann ich nur laut, klar und eindringlich warnen: Die meisten Menschen machen sich noch keine Vorstellung davon, welche Barbaren da plötzlich unter uns sind, zu was sie fähig sind und was ihr Glaube ihnen befiehlt. Ich weiß, wovon ich rede. Alles, was ich hier sage, ist inzwischen geeignet, um in Deutschland ins Visier des Inlandsgeheimdienstes zu geraten, aber ich sage es trotzdem, weil ich persönlich alles in der Macht meiner Worte Stehende tun werde, um zu verhindern, dass mein Land in die Hände von Islamisten fällt. Sie bringen nichts als Tod und und Leid. Ich möchte auf meinem Boden, auf dem Boden meiner Eltern und meiner Kinder, keine Islamisten und keine Scharia. Ich möchte und werde mich niemals bekennen zu einer links-grünen Ideologie vorgeblicher Vielfalt, die innerhalb einer Generation durch wahnwitzige Massenmigration alles ausradieren wird, was dieses Land so schön und lebenswert gemacht hat. Es ist nicht ausländerfeindlich oder rassistisch, sondern schlichtweg unsere historische Pflicht, in genau diesem Moment laut und unmissverständlich zu sagen, dass wir keinen einzigen Islamisten auf unserem Boden wünschen und dulden und schon gar keine Armee junger Islamisten, die ungehindert in unser Land einfällt. Und ja, es ist eine Armee. Und ja, es ist eine Invasion. Wenn unsere Regierung davon spricht, dass Deutschland wehrhaft, verteidigungsfähig oder gar kriegstüchtig werden soll, dann fordere ich, dass unsere Regierung unsere Grenzen verteidigt und all die abschiebt, die illegal zu uns gekommen sind. (06BT_raus) Und ja, ich meine ALLE. Ich möchte auch keinen illegalen Islamisten hierbehalten, nur weil er einen Bus oder ein Wolt-Fahrrad fahren kann oder sonstwie angeblich besonders fleißig ist. Ein fleißiger Islamist ist vor allem eines: ein Islamist. Und nein, das sind nicht ein paar von denen, die illegal zu uns gekommen sind. Das sind Unzählige, wie die Studie des Bundeskriminalamtes bestätigt. Und nein, der Islamismus lässt sich nicht bändigen oder gar integrieren. Der Islamismus kennt für uns nur Unterwerfung, Versklavung oder den Tod. Und ja, die Grenzen zwischen Islam und Islamismus sind fließend und der Trend ist eindeutig: Viel mehr Muslime in Deutschland radikalisieren sich in den Islamismus als sich Islamisten hier integrieren und in den weltlichen Islam zurückführen lassen.

What’s living in the UK like? I’ll tell you. In the last week alone we have had to process: -an attempted beheading by an illegal migrant from Sudan in Belfast -while still trying to make sense of a boy, Henry Nowak, being stabbed to death while police were more anxious about allegations of “racism” than trying to save his life -then we learn children in Scotland were assaulted by Bulgarians while the police didn’t believe them either -while reading that a vulnerable 18-year-old was r*ped by an asylum-seeker from Pakistan -while an asylum-seeker from Iraq got only 6 years for r*pe -while an Iraqi national, was found guilty of eight counts of r*pe and grooming children as young as 12 -and his friend from Iran who arrived illegally skipped bail and is on the run -and now we learn that a teenage girl has been stabbed in the neck by no doubt “a local man” in Burnley. That’s one week in the UK. Oh, and the Left say talking about all this is “divisive”, they blame social media and Elon Musk, and local councils have told us not to fly our national flag because it might “intimidate” migrants. One week. The UK. 🤡

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

This is WILD! The most important story coming out of the SpaceX IPO this morning is not the $1.77 trillion valuation but it is about Juan Hernandez (Save this). Juan is a welder who got a phone call from a friend about a job at a company he had never heard of. He said yes anyway, showed up, worked there for ten years, rose from the factory floor to supervisor, and held on to 6,500 shares the entire time. When CBS asked him this morning how much he stands to make at opening, he said approximately $880,000. Tom Mueller, Musk's very first SpaceX employee, tells a version of the same story. He met Musk through an amateur rocket club, was convinced to do something exciting, and says it was one of the best decisions he ever made. In those early days, he says, the team simply believed they were going to change the world and then went ahead and did it. Juan and Tom are not alone. SpaceX has approximately 13,000 employees who hold equity and analysts estimate today's IPO will create somewhere between 600 and 1,000 instant millionaires across the workforce from engineers and software developers to machinists, welders, and operations staff. The engineers and executives at the top of the stack are looking at life changing numbers of a different order entirely. Senior vice presidents and long tenured rocket engineers with large equity grants are expected to walk away with $10 million to $50 million or more depending on their vesting history. Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX's President and COO who has been building this company alongside Musk for over two decades, is expected to become a billionaire on her equity stake alone. All of that wealth from Juan's $880,000 to Musk's trillion came from the same source. A group of people who believed that if nobody built a truly reusable rocket, humanity would never leave Earth, and decided that was an unacceptable outcome. Thank you, @elonmusk for building a company where a welder who didn't know your name in 2016 is worth nearly a million dollars this morning.

Aujourd'hui, SpaceX entre en bourse. La plus grosse IPO de l'histoire de l'humanité. Ce n'est pas juste une opération financière. C'est le début d'un nouveau monde. Pendant 20 ans, les médias ont menti sur Elon Musk. Ils ont tout essayé : le ridiculiser, le diaboliser, le détruire. Chaque article était une attaque. Chaque succès était minimisé. Aujourd'hui, le marché vient de rendre son verdict. Et le marché, contrairement aux journalistes, ne ment pas. 1 770 milliards de dollars. Le premier homme à dépasser les 1 000 milliards de fortune personnelle. Non pas en héritant, non pas en spéculant, mais en construisant des fusées réutilisables, en connectant la planète entière à internet, en ramenant l'Amérique dans l'espace. Les médias vont devoir s'excuser. Les globalistes qui ont passé une décennie à mentir vont devoir s'excuser. Les puissants vont devoir sortir de leur tour d'ivoire et arrêter de se prendre au sérieux. Parce que le monde change de logiciel. On revient à la recherche de la vérité. Le wokisme ne marche pas, on arrête. Les idéologies qui ne produisent rien s'effondrent, et ceux qui construisent prennent leur place. L'humanité a vu qui était le gentil de l'histoire. Ce n'était pas celui qu'on nous montrait à la télé. Elon montre la voie : construire, dire la vérité, viser les étoiles. C'est ça, le vrai New World Order. Pas celui des bureaucrates en costume. Celui des ingénieurs qui rendent la science-fiction réelle. Le futur sera incroyable. Et il commence aujourd'hui.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day. 400 of them are now worth over $100 million. These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries. Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000. Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous." The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before. Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

Replying to @GunnelsWarren
Elon is developing robots for the elderly and bringing sight to the blind. And looking to build data centers in space which is a far better option for the planet. The planet that now has internet available in the poorest of countries and in times of crisis. You are not a builder, sir, you are a taker and a communist. Your envy and greed is showing and it's not a good look.

Its truly madness - untill you realise its treason They are destroying Europe on purpose
Agenda 2030 Or The Defence Of The Realm. Starmer Has Made His Choice. John Healey Has Resigned Over It. This morning Britain woke up without a Defence Secretary. By lunchtime it knew why. The numbers tell the story precisely. The Ministry of Defence faces a £28 billion funding shortfall over four years. Healey wanted £18 billion. He was offered £13.5 billion of which defence chiefs regarded only £10 billion as real money. The remaining £3.5 billion was, in the words of the Telegraph, invented through magical accounting tricks. The Chief of the Defence Staff, Sir Richard Knighton, took the unusual step of writing directly to Starmer to warn that the money was not enough. The head of the British armed forces writing directly to the Prime Minister is not a routine communication. It is a signal of desperation. Starmer told NATO last week that it is our intelligence assessment that there could be an attack by Russia on NATO as soon as 2030. Those are his words. His government's assessment. Shared with our allies. Four years away. And his Treasury offered the man responsible for defending against that threat an accounting trick and a two page summary instead of a funded plan. Why. Because the money was needed elsewhere. In 2015 every United Nations member state including Britain signed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Its 17 goals and 169 targets commit signatory nations to facilitating migration, eliminating inequality, achieving net zero and embedding inclusive institutions. No British parliament voted on it. No British public was consulted. It was adopted at a UN summit and has been implemented ever since through regulatory frameworks, public sector guidance and institutional capture rather than democratic mandate. It is not a conspiracy. It is a publicly available document on the UN website. And its priorities, net zero, welfare, migration, DEI, are precisely the budgets this government has protected while offering the defence of the realm an accounting trick. Ed Miliband refused to cut his net zero budget to fund defence. The Labour Party refused to cut welfare spending that would have freed up billions. The £10 billion in asylum accommodation contracts continues. The DEI infrastructure embedded across British policing, the NHS, the civil service and the education system continues to be funded. Every one of these is a commitment that takes precedence over the defence of the realm in this government's spending decisions. The hierarchy of priorities is now visible. A government that has spent two years embedding progressive transformation across British institutions, protecting the net zero agenda from cuts and managing mass migration has discovered that it cannot simultaneously do all of that and defend the country. When the moment of decision arrived the progressive agenda was protected and the armed forces were handed a two page summary and told to make do. Lord Robertson, the former Labour Defence Secretary and NATO Secretary General, warned in April that Britain was underprepared, underinsured and under attack. He said there was a corrosive complacency in Britain's political leadership. The army has been reduced to its smallest size in 200 years. Seven warships have been axed. The Defence Investment Plan was due last autumn, delayed through winter, missed its spring deadline and has now produced the resignation of the Defence Secretary on the day it was finally meant to be published. Healey's letter says without a plan that meets the moment he is being forced to make decisions that would reduce the readiness of our forces, increase the risk to personnel on operations and could make the country less safe. He had no other option but to resign. In the most dangerous security environment since the Cold War a Labour government has chosen the globalist agenda over the defence of the realm. That choice has now cost it its Defence Secretary. The question is what it will cost the country.

UK GOVERNMENT SACKED ITS OWN BORDER WATCHDOG David Neal was the man the government hired to inspect UK borders and make sure they actually worked. He did exactly that. What he found was not good. He wrote it all up in official reports. The Home Office locked those reports in a drawer. When he finally went to a newspaper to warn the public that private planes were landing in the UK with almost nobody checking who was on them, the Home Secretary James Cleverly @JamesCleverly fired him. Here is what Neal actually found. At London City Airport, only 21% of flights flagged as high risk were checked by immigration officers. Not some of the time. As a yearly average. He said it was a scandal and dangerous for the country. The Home Office said he had the numbers wrong. Then they fired him. At the moment he was sacked, the @HomeOffice was holding back 15 of his finished inspection reports. Some had been sitting there for 18 months without being shown to the public. The agreed deadline for publishing them was eight weeks. Not one report met that deadline across his entire three years in the job. When they finally released 13 of the reports, they chose to do it on the same afternoon that a separate major inquiry published its findings... Draw your own conclusions. What was actually in those reports? Border control posts left with nobody manning them. Officers at e-passport gates described as distracted and without basic radios. The whole airport border operation rated as neither effective nor efficient. Neal told MPs directly: I have been sacked for doing my job. He also told @BBC the Home Office is dysfunctional and described senior officials rolling their eyes when he brought them his findings. He said the government contacted him three separate times warning him not to speak publicly about the unpublished reports. He had almost no other way to get the information out. The people who fired him for raising border security concerns were the same people who spent years promising the public they had taken back control of the borders.

The ruling class does not support just one political party. If it did, it would occasionally find itself in opposition. And that is a risk the ruling class cannot afford to take. Instead, it spreads itself across all parties and all institutions that might one day come close to power. Why might a pessimist, as I write these lines, suspect that Britain is heading towards a dark place? Because there seems to be remarkably little willingness anywhere within the political elite to meet ordinary people halfway. “We are tired of seeing citizens killed or seriously injured by people who should never have been here in the first place,” says the ordinary voter. “Please do not create division,” replies the political class. A gap this wide between rulers and ruled cannot endure indefinitely. It is simply not sustainable. When Britain’s political elite - the Guardian class, the BBC class - celebrates itself, it speaks of its highest ideals: more diversity, more inclusion, a place for everyone. But that is not what many people outside these circles experience. What they experience is that there is no place for them. Their views are unwelcome. Their concerns are dismissed. They are expected to accept almost anything - because questioning it would supposedly “create division”. In earlier times, ruling classes accumulated wealth. Or power. The new ruling class seeks something different: It seeks compliance. What it demands from its subjects is not merely obedience to laws, but submission to a set of dogmas: open borders, the belief that majorities should defer to minorities, and the idea that ordinary people have no particular claim to be heard, respected, or represented. The strange thing is that the ruling class does not seem to gain very much from ruling. Perhaps this has something to do with a curious political pattern. One of the strongest predictors of left-wing political views is high levels of education combined with relatively modest earnings. One of the strongest predictors of right-wing political views is lower levels of education combined with higher earnings. Which may help explain why so much of modern politics appears designed to produce a society of highly educated people working for surprisingly modest rewards. A society like that would provide the ruling class with a remarkably durable source of political power.
