I wonder if a lot of Tories have not got seller's remorse about Rishi, actually. I think the way he behaved after he lost, he was very impressive in the comments after that. I always liked him. I think he made a few strategic missteps, but actually pretty smart, committed, hardworking guy. And yeah, the fact he was rich didn't bother me at all. But no, I think it's going to be very interesting.
I mean, I do think we're deliberately attracting people mediocre people to politics now because we don't make it attractive enough to attract the smart people.

Because that wasn't why they were rioting. Of course, that's my point. They were rioting because they were whipped up by people who should know better and probably did know better into believing a certain set of circumstances had happened surrounding an appalling attack, right? They hadn't. It wasn't actually an illegal asylum seeker who committed these actions.

And so people were exactly, in a way, on a smaller, it was a smaller version of the Iraq war, which I oppose so pacifistically. I'll tell you why. It was fought on an entirely false pretext. Had Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, that war would have been justified.

Had the person who perpetrated this crime been an illegal asylum seeker, you're not entitled to commit violence, but you're certainly entitled to feel rage about that happening at a time when this whole issue of illegal asylum seekers coming in taking over the country, all that argument they put forward, it would at least have had some validity that that was why they were angry.

Even the premise wasn't accurate. But everything about it was wrong, right? So the riots were whipped up by people, malevolent voices who should have known better. Tommy Robinson, Andrew Tate and others, I took on Tate about this a few days later. And that's a problem with social media.

That I don't agree with, right? And I don't agree with that because it seems a ridiculous overreach. And when you overreach to that level where people are literally, you know, grandmothers have been put in prison for two years for something they put on Facebook, that's not a sensible response to this either. If people are actually chucking Molotov cocktails at an asylum seeker hotel, yeah.
