Trump’s lieutenants are provoking Europe’s elite to such an extent that they lose their composure. Pete Hegseth’s visit to the American cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer and his remarks about today’s invasion cause Europeans to see red. They accuse the Trump administration of interference and completely forget their own demonstrative support for Black Lives Matter.
Europe’s elite writes itself out of context before launching its attacks. When someone connects the struggle against Nazism with the invasion of foreigners, they become hysterical. They want a monopoly on using Nazism against Trump. Reversing the comparison is regarded as a bloody insult.
“Unfortunately, various European beaches are today being stormed by various dangerous ideologies,” said Hegseth. “On the beaches of Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men are arriving,” he said. “When will Europe’s capitals do something about this invasion? Or is it too late?”
Europe continues to provide examples of the consequences, such as the killing of Henry Nowak in Britain. There is also Pedro Sánchez in Spain, who is granting amnesty to between half a million and one million illegal migrants who are free to move northwards through Europe. Europe has neither the means nor the capacity, and Sánchez knows it. It is as though the European elite refuses to recognise that it is driving Europe over a cliff.
One who reacted strongly to Hegseth was the British historian Simon Schama, who uses his standing as a historian to excoriate Hegseth.
Schama, who has long advocated the admission of millions of foreigners and who frequently refers to his own Jewish family’s experience in the diaspora as the basis for his views.
In a social media comment on Hegseth’s speech, the author of Citizens said: “This is a special kind of loathsomeness: a blend of historical deafness, grotesque stupidity and comically absurd self-importance.”
Echoing the notorious “deplorables” remark by the failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Schama added: “As if the rage of little people over immigration somehow trumps the war against the Third Reich and entitles this cartoon character to lecture the real heroes.”
Schama sees no downside to immigration. He has a Persian restaurant around the corner in London and rising property prices have increased his wealth.
Those opposed to mass immigration he calls “little people”.
Sir Simon has long been critical of opposition to immigration, which he has attributed to a “hatred of immigrants”, while largely dismissing concerns about cultural cohesion and immigrant-related crime.
He described Brexit as an “unnecessary act of self-harm” driven by “disgust” towards foreigners, while praising cosmopolitan London for being more welcoming to immigrants than the rest of the country.
Without taking into account the downward pressure on working-class wages or the billions that the government distributes annually to immigrants from British taxpayers’ pockets, Schama has boasted that his own life has improved thanks to mass immigration, and said last year that it is “a great pleasure that there is a Persian café just around the corner from my flat in London”.
Schama is a left-liberal and has, since 2016, sought to hang fascism around Trump’s neck.
The historian has also been a prominent British critic of President Donald Trump and has claimed that his victory in the 2016 presidential election would “give fascists around the world renewed hope”, while noting that “democracy often brings fascists to power”, as was the case with Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party.
Although Schama has avoided making direct comparisons between Trump and Hitler, he has accused the American president of being an “entertainment fascist”, which he said “may be less frightening, but is actually more dangerous in the end”.
Such comparisons no longer carry the force they once did. They have been devalued through overuse.
Former Foreign Secretary David Lammy has criticised JD Vance for his criticism of Britain’s handling of the Henry Nowak case.
But he does so by claiming that ethnicity must be taken into account in the law’s treatment of individuals because of historical experience.
British police make no secret of the fact that they operate according to equality of outcomes: statistics must reflect that all groups are equally or unequally criminal. This is so-called equity in plain language. Ideology overrides reality and dictates it. In an area such as law and justice, that is destructive.
“We are all equal before the law. So that is not merely the starting point, it is the reality. We must recognise that in our country ethnic minorities remain disproportionately overrepresented in the criminal justice system in terms of arrests, prosecutions and convictions – and, regrettably, in our prisons as well. So context can matter, but it cannot overshadow the violence or the fact that we need our police to act to reduce and manage crime in our communities, regardless of skin colour or background,” he told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg on Saturday.
The BBC presenter put to Lammy the National Police Chiefs’ Council guidance on its anti-racism policy, which states: “Our commitment to racial equity involves creating equitable policing outcomes for people from different ethnic groups… It does not mean treating everyone ‘the same’ or being ‘colour-blind’ (racial equality).”
The left-wing government minister denied that this meant there was no equality before the law, stating that “the complexity is [that] equality does not always necessarily mean the same thing” and that it is important to “understand that the context may be different for different groups.”
The British authorities have become woke, and that is the explanation for the scandalous conduct surrounding the killing of Henry Nowak. When a white person and a dark-skinned person encounter one another, the white person has a “chip on his shoulder”; he is at a disadvantage. He is the one under suspicion.
