We thought we lived in a democracy. Apparently, we don't. The police in Brussels, Belgium, are freely preventing conservatives from meeting. This is a terrifying new low in the rapidly accelerating push toward totalitarianism happening across the Western world.

Disappointing. Are we to conclude that censorship and police raids of public events, featuring political opponents, are a cause for giggles on Labour front bench? Hardly reassuring for the future of UK democratic debate

This is outrageous totalitarianism and must be condemned by all Western political leaders, no matter where you sit on the political spectrum.

Police officers in Brussels shut down a conservative political gathering while former UK politician Nigel Farage was on stage.

This is…

What's crystal clear from today is if you want to merely discuss lowering immigration, controlling borders, promoting the family & pushing back against radical woke progressivism the Brussels elites will do everything they can to shut you down National Conservatism #natconbrussels2

Currently trapped in a building in Brussels. If we leave we cannot return because that's how much Brussels values democracy & deliberation

It’s curious how the anti-Israel lot have taken sides with CCP against the uyghur Muslims.

And not just anons, Mahmoud Abbas himself holds this position

Has liberalism failed us?

Yes, Mary Harrington and I will argue at a big debate in Brooklyn, with Nick Gillespie and my friend Freddie Sayers taking the opposing position.

It’s almost as if the infallible technocratic elites think the pesky populists are a threat

What they’re signalling is their enthusiasm for a more racialised society…where your ethnicity, matters more than your values.

It is tribal politics. I grew up in a country consumed by this. It never ends well.

Hey Andrew, that's a very uncharitable and therefore wrong interpretation of what I said.

Let me explain what I meant: I am against mistreating any group of people on the basis of their racial identity. I don't believe racial groups should be given preferential treatment…

Ideologues are impervious to evidence. Thats what makes them ideologues.

Community note.

This will be fun. As will the whole event ⁦⁦Dissident Dialogues⁩!

Hello sir:

I phoned my agents immediately after seeing this and reiterated my desire to make this a priority.
