You're seeing a return to the center. And actually, most governments in American and British political history have pretty well been hovering around the centre. You don't really see extremities on either side. You don't see the far right or far left getting power, really. And it's the more centrist parties with centrist leaders who tend to have the most longevity and most success. Yeah.
And I think that's why I always say about Trump, people think he's extreme. He's not really. If you take away his rhetoric, then his first term of office, he was a pretty moderate Republican president. He didn't even go to war anyway, almost unprecedented for a Republican president. So, you know, Trump's rhetoric is really 90% of the reason people hate him.

But I think a lot of people this election went, you know what, I'm kind of done with that stuff.

But virtue signaling is a very insidious new scourge in society. Yeah. I mean, I told a story in my last book about after the George Floyd murder, which I did a lot of stuff on, wrote very strongly worded columns about it, did a lot of stuff on air on Good Morning Britain, which I was hosting at the time about it. But there was a day when we were supposed to all do a black square on our Instagram.

And I couldn't understand why. What's the point? And I went to my local squares in the middle of a pandemic. And I just had a bottle of wine. It's a nice sunny afternoon. And I'd forgot all about what I was supposed to be doing. And I posted a picture of my bottle of wine in the twinkling sunlight on my Instagram. And my son's all within about half an hour. Dad, you've got to take that down.

I said, why? Dad, we're getting abused by all our friends. You've got to take that down. I said, I don't understand. Why are you being abused? Because you're going to do the Black Square, don't you? I said, no, I don't. Why? To prove what? I've written column after column about the horrific murder of George Floyd. I've said hours and hours and hours of interviews with people about this on air.

Do you think the meeting of Black Square is going to make any difference to the promotion of racial equality or correcting racial injustice?

it wouldn't have anything like the same pickup. In fact, it probably wouldn't even be suggested. People have realized these are vacuous, meaningless things. And at the moment that needle on the clock got to midnight, in came the Instagram influencers with all their topless bikini slaps. It's like, whatever. They couldn't wait. They were itching, itching. Get me off this black square.
