I think we don’t really realize what’s happening.
When British PM Keir Starmer visited the White House, he rejected J.D. Vance’s claim that free speech is restricted in Britain. “We’ve had free speech for a very long time in the UK,” Starmer retorted, “and it will last for a very long time”.
Unfortunately, Starmer’s Home Office seems not to have taken notice. Because it has just blocked a famous French writer from entering the UK to give a speech on the dangers of mass immigration, while in the courts British lawyers are trying to legalise Hamas.
The writer is Renaud Camus, 78, author of “Le Grand Remplacement” (The Great Replacement). British officials have informed Camus that his “presence in the UK” is “not considered to be beneficial to the public good”.
So it seems the UK can control its borders whenever it wants to do so, after all.
1984 hasn’t been literature for a long time.
Never before has a European government blocked a writer, a man of letters, from entering the UK because he expresses non-violent ideas that the mainstream doesn’t like. And I remember that Voltaire found asylum and exile in England, because of his controversial writings and clashes with the French authorities, between 1726 and 1728.
“They seem to fear that I may replace the British people, and yet I am 78 years old and gay,” wrote Renaud Camus with no small amount of irony. “I would have gone to England despite the ban, but I would be annoyed to give Macron and his Foreign Minister the worry of a second French writer in his eighties with cancer imprisoned in a Muslim country.” A reference to Boualem Sansal in Algeria.
