The radicalisation of elites - Matthew Goodwin 

Excellent speech. We need more people like Matt Goodwin who are prepared to put their head above the parapet, and tell the truth about what's going on.

Britain has changed beyond all recognition since I was a child in London. I lived in a postwar socially cohesive community, English was the common language, very low crime rate. Now, the area is a mass migration hellhole. The large Asian community face crime from Roma gangs. Crime is everywhere. No police. The graduate class look down on white British people. But, when Britain becomes an Islamic state, the graduate class will wonder how it all went wrong. Their own children will have no future. The concept of democracy will no longer exist when Britain becomes an Islamic state. Think about it folks! Be careful what you wish for!

The “elite” hate the average person

Probably the best diagnosis of what is currently happening in western society I have heard to date.

I’m low status and I’ve had enough of those elites and their stupidity.

I feel incredibly sorry for younger people who never knew how peaceful, happy and contented people used to be, had bugger all, but weren't expecting anything, certainly not waking up to find the country's government had turned against the nation!

Professor Matt Goodwin superb analysis as always

He is a valuable voice in these self-destructive days.

Hyper Immigration of vast numbers of people who hate the UK and other imported groups is not an experiment. It is not done in isolation or (by definition) in small numbers. There is no reset button. The only way to get back to the state we were in prior to Hyper Immigration is quite possibly too unpalatable for the majority to countenance.

The Elite Woke Lunartics have taken over the asylum..

Refreshing truth. Thank you.

The UK needs you

When a wise man speaks, we should listen. We should listen to this man.

Its strange to think that the political establishment of your home country hate you, and infuriating that they use your taxes to express their hatred of you.

Thank you Mathew. Excellent. I especially liked your definition of woke.

Thank you for a wonderful factual speech .. more people need to understand what’s going on

This man speaks sense. My country is nothing like the country I grew up in … and yes, there were problems, but nothing like this. I cannot talk to my daughter, well-educated in Durham and Oxford in medieval history, from a working class background ( I went to uni, as did her dad … we have enough money, but I’m thoroughly working class) espouses everything this man says … I miss my country, my culture, my history.

No CRT for British kids.

Wow This is brilliant! It's what I've been blogging about from my own perspective for YEARS. I'l deffo buy the book!

I really like Matthew Goodwin's clear and non-patronising manner of speaking - his is the voice that hopefully can convince more in positions of power.

What an eloquent man who must surely be destined for great things once the people mobilise. I would say that because the current politicians so blatantly ignored the democratic wishes of the people on Migration and Brexit, there Must be court of law proceedings and imprisonment. To deliberately Lie on manifesto promises and commit voter fraud is a terrible crime against the people.

Excellent. Really articulate and rewound several parts so I can have half a chance of repeating the message. Well done Mathew!

M Goodwin is a brave and brilliantly assured speaker, statistician and general good egg. A few more like him and we might be able to slay this waking nightmare AKA WOKE yet.

Everything you feel in your bones lucidly summarised in 23 minutes. God bless him.

Keep it up Matt. You're educating the World.

I'd love to see a chat between Matthew and Douglas Murray - what a sane, intellectual and common sense discussion it would be. Thank you Matthew for explaining everything that is wrong in the world today. Those young people will eventually learn the hard way. When/if Islam takes over, we can all say, "I told you so". But we will be long gone anyway, and they can suck it up, and get on with it.

Matt Goodwin is one the best commentators on immigration and political issues

A fine exposition of the problem. Well done.

Exactly. You see and You hear. And You understand. Thank You.

I have to make what I think is a very critical distinction in Mr. Goodwin's description of populism. He says that it is accompanied by the feeling that 'me and my group are being left behind, relative to other groups in society'. This is not it. The feeling is, and I am working in a working class job, serving mostly working class customers, in a working class town in the U.S.--the feeling is that we are being deliberately insulted, and even attacked, relative to other groups in society. This is key to understand. The current erasure of our history, our images, our values, our culture--our small town library's children's section is all Spanish speaking, though they comprise less than 10% of our population, for example--this is an attack, and we know it. It isn't a question of being 'left behind' at all, and frankly I find it insulting to describe it so.

Great speech, which articulates what a lot of us are seeing. What's infuriating is we seem to be drifting back to a Labour govt which is the wrong direction. If the answer to too much Leftism, is 'we need more leftism', illogical by definition, then I fear for our nation's future and it seems the brainwashing of the masses is working. I hope Mr Goodwin and others can form some sort of power base or party, something the grown-ups can vote for, which gets the UK back on course.

I I saw it last week when the major music award in Canada was won by a Punjabi singer, who is not even a citizen who sang in Punjabi surrounded by Punjabi dancers… This did not surprise me in the least, and I was rather shocked on RU-vid by the naivety ‘s of commentators, who thought the JUNOs should’ve been more Canadian with less drag queen and transexual emphasis… I think they don’t realize that Canada is no longer a nation in the traditional sense as to Trudeau’s has said on numerous occasions we are a post nation nation… Which means to me the culture and traditions of the founding peoples is no longer appreciated, indeed, they are taken as evidence of oppression, and are supposed to be regarded with guilt and shame.

Brilliant by Goodwin

Britain must immediately 1. Abolish dual citizenship beyond 5 eyes 2. Establish a basic guideline for BRITISH CITIZENSHIP 3. Identify all those people who have arrived in Britain after mid 1950s 4. Declare wokism as criminal offence 5. Must incentivise INDEGENOUS British population growth 6. Review fully relationships with WEF, OIC and China 7. Give strong powers to police to ensure people living in Britain gets the faith trust on police back on track. 😠

Although framed through the British experience, the argument is just as strong for Australia, probably a few years behind the UK, but for the most part shows no sign of NOT going down the same rabbit hole - 700,000 immigrants in 12 months since Labor got into office.

Volume level too low. Not too bad to start with (but still too low) then drops off after first 4.5 minutes. You need to sack whoever is doing the sound, and get some professionals in.

Thomas Sowell - The Vision of the Annointed. What Matthew is describing is the plan of the Frankfurt School.

What I cannot understand is why the university educated graduates,and I include my very good friends,have so little imagination about people not like them.They will not even talk.Well said at last.

Very impressive! But who is going to take action?

Thank you, this was fantastic to listen to and I wish it went longer. You have been able to articulate what so many of us that agree with you, seem unable to do. It was pragmatic and clear without sensationalism or emotive language that could cause your message to be misinterpreted or misunderstood. Well done. Please continue your work and speaking out on what is the conversation of a generation.

Well said.

I have an identity ,I am English ,proud to be English ,can take my line back 400 years and beyond,no lefty or elite or Politician will EVER take that from me.

I hold two degrees but I have never lost sight of the graduate class's predilection for arrogance , myopia , naked self-interest and an ability to believe in absolutely insane ideas . It is absolutely mind boggling . It's as if they have been completely overhelmed a desire to be a member of a self-deluded superior social class at any cost . The cost of truth , the cost of the obvious , the cost the ruin of community , the cost of a stable sense of social cohesion , the cost of the future . I am frequently stunned by the absolute senseless rubbish which pores out of the mouths of many of my long standing liberal friends . In spite of the overt failures of liberalism over the past 50 years and the fact that liberalism has morphed into Post-Liberal Authoritarianism , they cling to it like a drowning child clinging to a lead weight of a life preserver in a raging river . They haven't the courage to admit that they have been committed to a failed belief system and that this belief system has become a totalitarian monster . So much for the power and value of education when it makes mindless conscripts of people who started out seeking truths . Perhaps , it's a case of having a little knowledge but too little knowledge or maybe it's just chronic status anxiety , the primacy of identity and fear of getting ostracised by the tribe . Whatever it is , it certainly the death of the mind and the death of truth .

Thank you Mr Goodwin.

Nice to hear someone who understands what is happening. Hope he can DO something to reverse this trend

Please stand for office, you'd have my vote in the wink of an eye.

A situation we are all experiencing is here decidedly well explained.

6:23 Vox is a party in Spain. In Portugal it's Chega.

I wish this was louder. I have it on max volume in earbuds and can't hear over the sounds around while out walking. I love the idea of radicalised elites.

Brilliant and confident voice for the people

It's madness and blindness. I feel so sorry for these idiots, who don't know what they are doing! (Destroying their own country, identity and wealth, that put them in a position to speak and influence others in the first place).

So, where do we go from here? Where is the vulnerable under belly of these elites? If we stand a chance of pushing back and saving our nation, where do we start Matthew?

Yes exactly. Please share this with everyone….. Spot on.

Thanks Matt.

Great speech!

Superb 👌

I proudly refer to myself as a populist

Matt would make a great politician

Great speech and I must say I always enjoy listening to Matthew who is a great orator and very calm in his delivery but covers all bases for polite discourse. However the latest Morgoths Review on RU-vid podcast speaks on this very subject and his version does not hold back and for me is a much better message for normal people in normal jobs with normal education. I urge you all to watch it .

Excellent speech but only 30 seconds for what do we do? One step is to introduce the Swiss system of direct democracy. ie referendums.

One only has to look at the case of the Cambridge five. Radicalised during their time at Cambridge University.

It's up to The English people to revolt

He's right! Here's the problem: It is not about being right (although that is the starting point). Gerard Batten was way ahead of his time (10 years, many have reckoned), but people would not vote for him (in enough numbers). Cromwell was way ahead of his time, but he had power when he made his reforms (and still struggled with parliament to implement them). That is the key: Gaining influence with enough people to drive change. That's why Nigel Farage is so important. He has the following and the influence.

If only we could stipulate that all government ministers will have to live in a poor inner city suburb during their time in office.

Bravo

I wish volume was higher...would love to listen to this speech...

Thank you for this report.

Love from France ❤

You get my vote Matt

Well said

Though one would agree with all that MG says here, our western nations haven't just evolved into the societal chaos we see today, it's not by some random chance. This breed of self-appointed 'elite' with their mindset of luxury beliefs have always existed and for decades, this New World Order in favour of a One World Government (headed exclusively by this 'elite', with facilitators) has been 'in the planning' for just as long. It is only in (relatively) recent years that their (combined) amassed wealth, power and influence has made possible this 'seize the day' implementation of their agenda - to the detriment of the quality of life of the rest of us.. Not convinced we can vote our way out of this.

I think delusional is the right word not radical.

Happily the elite at whatever level can't grasp that most of them will be cast aside once the mega elite have used them. Also it's those and their ancestors not the man or women in the street who were responsible for many of the alleged sins of the past.

It's called narcissistic abuse...

Brilliant!

Nothing compared to what’s happening in Canada.

When did populism become a bad thing?

I had to give up, the volume is just so low.

100% correct. Or even 120% 🤓

Elite education?.well God help us😮😂

True

I wish that person in the audience would’ve excused themself to the bathroom rather than proceeding to cough incessantly throughout the entire speech. Good god.

The knowledge and profile of political leaders sank dramatically over the last decades. It's about opportunistic people now, how are not good enough on the free market. As it's their only way, they also feel no responsibility for the country. The elites know that and take their chance to manipulate them with heavy lobbying. It's nothing new, but thresholds are much lower now.

Some important truths wilfully and flagrantly distorted to serve reactionary ends. Oh, and careerist ones.

More ‘direct’ democracy eg Swiss style referendums.

But if you were 'an elite' and didn't agree with those views, would you feel pressure to keep quiet?

Cannot hear this well.

sound level issues

Such clarity in this talk. Excellent.

So much for our so called Democracy it's a joke

!TUO SGOW (Just a Reflection)

👍

Well said. The reality we live in. I always say what I think, and I think that populations will vote for right leaning government's and move away from the left. I think education needs to change. We need to learn about all colonialism, all empires, all slavery etc etc. There is no shame to be had in England that is no shared by all.

We’re doomed!

The 60s? More like the late 1910s and the Russian Revolution.

Stop calling them elites!!

He's an "elite" himself.

9:09 He should say educational 'attainment', not 'achievement '

In the USA woke is dying.
