As regular readers of the Daily Sceptic will have seen, the French philosopher Renaud Camus, coiner of the useful term ‘The Great Replacement’ – used to describe the rapid and obvious demographic shift taking place across Europe – was last month banned from entering the UK from France to explain his ideas to a meeting of the obscure anti-immigration Homeland Party. The rationale given by the Home Office is that his presence here would “not [be] considered to be conducive to the public good”. On that same basis, please deport the entire Government.
Fortunately, the Free Speech Union is on the case, but even if the FSU fails to get Camus permission to enter, there may be some hope for those who want to hear him speak. As FSU founder and Daily Sceptic boss Toby Young correctly observed: “If Mr Camus wants to be sure of being able to visit the United Kingdom, maybe he should come over in a dinghy in the middle of the night. That way, he’s guaranteed entry.”
