You then compare with what happened during the colonial era where institutions are brought and, you know, dropped in a place. And so, yes, there's now a common law tradition, but the culture has really changed and eventually the culture erodes it. So a lot of it is personal experience and observation and lots of arguing. So I loved arguing, loved debating.

And I remember when I was in that job working as a systems analysis, there was a lefty French guy who worked with me. And he kept saying, you are so right wing, you are so right wing. And I didn't know enough then. And I said, no, I'm not right wing because right wing, as I had been taught, was a bad thing.

You know, the media and the cultural establishment always used right wing as a pejorative term. So I would say, no, I'm not right-wing, but I was. And I remember when I really sat down and read the canon and the text, and you read Hayek, and of course, Thomas Sowell, who I love very much, I realized, oh my goodness, I'm very right-wing. And I'm proud of that.

This is not something to be embarrassed or ashamed about. And my being very much on the right is that mix of the cultural conservatism, because I want us to preserve the things that are amazing here. And one of the things that is amazing is the classic liberalism, not the postmodern, you know, sort of corruption of that. And a lot of what I see that has gone wrong is the corruption of liberalism.

And I gave a speech in December where I said liberalism has been hacked, that people have found the weakest points and are twisting it to do things it shouldn't be doing. And you need muscular liberals to defend their turf. And instead what they've been doing is giving away their turf. And that is how we ended up with a lot of the extreme gender ideology, uh,

coming into play because it wore the clothes of the gay rights movement. It's nothing like that. And that's how we saw a lot of the craziness of critical race theory, the BLM movement set race relations in a terrible negative territory, but it wore the clothes of the civil rights movement. And you need people who are in touch with reality who can say, no, this is not real. This is not true.

And I think that is something which I am lucky to have that I just don't get detached from everyday life. I know what is real and what isn't. And I am amazed that we have politicians, including the British prime minister, who will say things like 99% of women don't have a penis, as if 1% of women do. This is just not real.

And if a politician is prepared to tell you something that we all know is not true, then what else will they tell you?
