Douglas angry is a sight to behold.
Thank God for him. When the fight against wokeness and Islamo-leftism was almost entirely confined to a few brave RUclipsrs, Douglas Murray was literally the only voice shouting it on the maínstream. The bloody-minded courage to be that voice, almost alone, has ben astonishing and inspiring to watch.
I love his recounting of an early conversation with Roger Scruton - to the effect that in the argument stakes, 100 leftie snowflakes to the two of them might make for a fair fight - or something like that, I'm sure I'm doing Roger a disservice.
Superb, just superb. And about time.
The only fact that matter is that a single man is walking around a stadium for more than an hour with a 32kg rucksack (*note a sack of potatoes weights 20kg). The event organisation paid under trained staff peanuts to provide security for a 'low risk' event.
But this has nothing to do with profiling, how was a non ticket holder/bag carrier allowed to enter the inner premises of the arena?
Why aren't you pair of numpties asking these questions?
@@superyachtchef He wasn't in a stadium, he was in the lobby of an indoor venue.
@@lostinsweden5039 There's not much difference between an arena and a stadium, although an arena is enclosed and a stadium sometimes has an open roof. Football is usually played in a stadium, while basketball and other sports typically hold their games in arenas, musical concerts can take place in either
Good for Douglas Murray for asking the questions that need to be answered. If only we had someone brave enought in authority to answer them.
Absolutely agree!

May I politely point out that we, the British people, were never asked if we wanted any of this.
Mass immigration has never been found in anyone’s manifesto yet it continues verbatim.
They always wheel out the Windrush or Kindertransport scenarios as proof of our moral responsibility. I'm fed up with it. No more.
That's how influence works old girl, without you knowing it.
Well said!
No we didn't.... but our own bas*ard elites hate us and want us watered down if not outright replaced! They seem to think the religion of peace is just so much better than their own culture.......

@@stoufer2000 We all only ever speak for ourselves, as Murray does here, but he will find a lot of willing llisteners on an issue like this precisely because it demonstrates that even tolerance has its limits, and the UK is broadly a tolerant society, and rightly so. But when tolerance leads to abrogation of duty in cases like this and, for example, those of multiple child grooming gangs then something is clearly very wrong and needs to be addressed.
Douglas Murray speaks with verve, candour and viscerally, for all those victims, their families, relatives and friends who's lives have been sacrificed on the Altar of political and religious expediency.

There are still many very cross people out there, but most are now living on comfortable pensions and anyway have no influence whatsoever. We are all very fed up with all the ignorance.

@@avae5343 Unfortunately one of the lessons we learned last year (especially in London) is that the police are incapable of crowd control when certain demographics are involved. And these mobs know they are in charge on the streets.
A wise use of weapons by the police would prevent this. No need to use them, most likely. Just have them and threaten the thugs with using them. If the police are not numerous enough, then call reinforcements. Also armed, obviously.
@Margaret This happened recently in Scotland when two people here illegally were being arrested pre deportation.
Spot on that. The whole don't look back in anger hits the nail on the head. Don't look back in anger ever at kids getting blown up 4 years ago, but ensure you look back in anger every day now and bend the knee for incidents that happened 100+ years ago. Absolute disgrace

As an Irishman living in London in the 1980s and 1990s I often got profiled, or stared at, when people heard my accent particularly on public transport or if carrying bags etc.
At the time the IRA were actively bombing mainland Britain. Obviously I wasn't, however it was understandable that people were extra vigilant. I fully understood why and can't say I was ever that bothered by it.
Innocent Paddies often suffered persecution and discrinination,no kid glove treatment then,but they're no afraid identify criminals,how do you understand this?
@@antaibhshaglas3737 that's true, more so in the 70s however and I wasn't talking about that. I'm talking about my lived experience as a young man in London from 1988 to 1999. When I did get profiled and stopped by police, searched and questioned on numerous occasions - however I would have been similar in description to those who were planting bombs - so what I understand is why I was stopped. I didn't like it but the police were instructed to do it. Now they are afraid to do their jobs due to "racism"
God bless you man for your understanding. Can you imagine if guys with English accents were blowing up stuff in say India or Pakistan? They wouldn't waste a second with any pc stuff.
Whatever the reason,if some authority doesent take a hand in this,the backlash once out of control,may be ugly
@@antaibhshaglas3737 If you are suffering from backlash you might not be getting enough lumbar support.
Very well said. It's about time the reality of this situation we find ourselves in is openly acknowledged and discussed.
About time? This has been a problem for 10+ years and nothing has changed. The West has lost the culture war to female voters and foreigners. It's over, the hordes have won.
Mr. Murray points out several irrefutable truths about the way our governments, civil service and security organisations have evaded their responsibilities to the British public. Full credit to the young security guard for his honesty at the enquiry.
Then stop claiming universal credit,
pack your carrier bags and leave the United Kingdom asap.
And when did all this begin? When the government cut funding to all of the public bodies that kept the lid on it all. If you want effective public services, you have to pay for them, and not allow profiteering and cronyism by friends of Tories and party donors. Mitie, Carillion, Serco, Fujitsu, Horizon, Sodexo etc. All have no presence commercially as they are only working for the state in contracts handed to them in perpetuity so have no incentive to train, invest or provide any quality of service because the Public body has no one else to go to. Privatised public sector costs twice as much and delivers half the service (or even no service)
@@PORRRIDGE_GUN If you want effective public services, they need to be staffed by effective public servants. It's as much a question of quality as it is of quantity.
@@anonnemo2504 Yes but quality people look for quality pay and TACOS or they walk. In fact most public servants would forego high levels of pay for good pensions and decency at work. So what does the government do? Attacks pensions and politicizes and bullies the staff instead. Retention is poor in my part of the CS because the new entrants are of high quality but get Poundland TACOS. I am lucky to have held on to my pretty good deal.
I love Douglas Murray for his intellectual precision and his unfailing courage.

Call a spade a spade or a shovel a shovel it does not impact real world security concerns. Crying about PC make no odds either. End Tory austerity, adequality fund public services and take the practical steps to reach those at risk of radicalisation be they racial or religious hate scum.

And I totally agree we have an ongoing security issue but it is not PC even to discuss it even after the slaughter of so many innocents.
Same here in France
It is perfectly PC to discuss security issues. Sadly in Gammon Britain many are unable to avoid conflating actual security concerns with "Brown people bad."
@@damarekonayaro5781
No that is just not true, the whole Rotherham story was only allowed to happen because people were so scared to be accused of racism that included the police, social workers and the politicians.
@@damarekonayaro5781
The Manchester bombing was another example, the security were aware of the guy with a backpack looking nervous and out of place. They said they didn't confront him because they feared if they got it wrong they again would have been accused of racism. So I completely disagree with you.
For those who complain about racial profiling, this is the question: How many blown up children is an acceptable sacrifice to prevent some law abiding citizens being stopped for a few minutes & asked some questions?
A very good question
The reasonable answer is zero.
It does not matter to most how many. As long as the UK is diverse.

Thank you for speaking the truth. Nobody is brave enough to say what the actual roots of this problem are. It's just like Douglas Murray says: we end up brushing over the real issues only to look at the 'debates' created to distract us from the facts.
I love you Douglas Murray! Thank you for being angry and speaking truth about this.

Douglas Murray I so admire you. If only those idiots would listen . I've read your books and feel more strongly about this situation now than I ever have. The future looks daunting 😟
A close friend of mine is a paramedic and was a first responder to this incident. I'll spare you the graphic detail but suffice it to say it takes a lot to shock a paramedic but the things he witnessed on that day were horrific beyond belief, especially with the knowledge that the attack was intentionally targeting children. This hypersensitive culture is responsible not only for this, but for the multitude of child grooming rings up and down the country, as well as the tragic cycle of knife crime in London. Those responsible have hell to pay.
Hear hear.
Children are even expendable to the woke!
Another sad aspect of this is the PTSD caused in the survivors. At least one of them has attempted suicide, and many others will always suffer due to this man's action and the failure to stop him by all of the authorities.
What would your paramedic friend say to Richard d Hall?
Brilliant take by Mr Murray on this.
"Someone senior should take responsibility"....that kind of moral fibre hasn't been seen since the 90's imo. Love DM, he's a breath of fresh air.
Douglas Murray never deviates from the point no matter how his interviewer tries to manoeuvre him. DM is so calm and collected and fact based. A true Journalist et al of the highest quality.
100% spot on from Douglas Murray. It shows the absolute spinelessness of the British political Establishment (including the Civil Service and MSM) who have been the cause of 90% of our major problems in this country.
Thank all that is good for Douglas Murray!
Britain's quasi sexual infatuation with all matters to do with 'race' has signed and sealed the UK's further demise towards a woke people programmed to tolerate everything and challenge nothing. Thank you DM for keeping alight an articulate candle of plain common sense.

You mean Brexit and the corrupt Tories, well I think the penny has started to drop there.
It's a sad state when people are conditioned to ignore threats to their own citizens for fear of upsetting people who don't accept you as their equals.
Exactly the case. This is the elephant in the room which no one (apart from Douglas Murray) is talking about. If we can't talk about and address this, incidents like this will continue to happen.
If, like the UK Govt., you do not make an honest attempt at keeping track of a simple metric such as number of people entering country vs number of people leaving, then you cannot make even the most hollow attempt at answering the questions Mr. Murray rightly asks.
2 other issues. 1 - would the bomber have just triggered the bomb if challenged? - it's problematic to stop them. 2 - deliberately no mention in report that no one would have been in either danger or killed if his father hadn't been allowed to be here in the first place. Agreed with Douglas that no one in government is ever held to account for their decisions either in parliament or media.
We need Douglas far, far more than we deserve him. Love from Australia.
Anyone hanging around with a heavy backpack at a public event should attract attention!!
And that's the only fact which matters! 🏅

Douglas Murray is on FIRE here. Watched this twice now.
"severe", "substantial", ... all these mean nothing, even if you do know about them. I don't blame the young security guard one bit. Either support him or do not support him. We know the answer to that. He knew the answer and decided to stay stumm.
Manchester police have to take responsibility for not making sure the "security" looking after all venue events are properly trained for the possibilities of a terrorist attack! The thought of being called a racist has to be removed from all of these people employed to "police" crowds at public events when assessing possible suspects!!!!
Honestly i wouldnt even know how to handle a situation like that, short of just shooting the guy in the head.
Maybe we stop letting these people into the country?

@Maid Subrena Actually New labour discovered when they came to power there was no way of tracking immigration numbers and no body to police it. They created same skills based system Boris has resurrected and a dedicated border force. The Tories scrapped the immigration policy and rolled up the dedicated border force into a larger body and cut funding. The Tories and their Brexit will only increase non EU immigration but don't let facts get in the way of a good story.
@@damarekonayaro5781 Border Force is no more than a Home Office vanity project and a desire to create a paramilitary-looking police force of their own. It has been a failure at more or less everything it set out to do.

Couldn’t agree more, Mr Murray.

These security firms are eyes and ears ONLY,they have no authority
They could have pulled the police in- assisted with getting the bomber isolated or arrested, got the bag out of the area, helped with evacuation.
Or more accurately; "Invoices and Imagery"
Lessons will be learned is the usual cry. But they never are. And these are issues where lessons are and will be repeated ad nauseum. The AG bombing hasn't just been brushed away it has been forgotten. Thank you for bringing it back to the surface,Douglas. But how much air time did your article and the hearing get?

Kyle Lawler is a moral hero. A story from 40 years ago. I was a 17 year old working-class lad employed at the weekends as a Porter in a hospital in Birmingham while doing my A levels. Despite my background, I lived in an exclusively white very middle class outer suburb - Norman (now Lord) Fowler was my MP. I was very 'right on' as they would say in those days ('woke' today). I remember having an argument with the other lads who were employed as weekend Porters. All came from the same sort of background as me, but doing their A levels at inner city schools mainly on the edge of Handsworth. They were all decent lads some very liberally minded and family/community centered - something I was not. They would tell me about how their grandparents streets were being transformed with their granny becoming an ethnic minority in the street they had lived in since the 1920's. I had no sympathy and effectively told them to shut up and they were being racist; they had to accept the new UK. Four decades on, I realise what I was doing was creating the problem Douglas is describing. I sometimes hang my head in shame.
Brilliant! Douglas Murray on top form!!

Ever thought that those people who happen to be talking in a foreign language may have been born in England, be older that you so actually been in England longer than you, and just also speak the language of their parents. Would you find it so incredible if you heard people on the bus speaking Italian or Welsh? Hmmmmmm me thinks not.
@@yomo1690 Generally people who were born in the UK speak English
In the same way somebody born in Germany would speak German regardless of the nationality of their parents.
@@jazura2 not if they were speaking to their mum, nan etc. Or maybe it was her friend who happens not to have been born here. And who says thats how it is. I lived in a street where the majority of people were from Pakistan and India and all my mates spoke urdu or hindi to their parents and grandparents. Regardless what's you actually point. Because I know what the original comment was eluding to.
@@yomo1690 You all could try repatriation.

👍 for Douglas Murray. We need a lot more like him.
Ariana Grande. Rotheram. So many other incidents. How many more people will die or have their lives ruined because of this fear of being called racist? Our basic empathy and compassion have been weaponized against us.
The problem is that we care too MUCH about "racism". We've actually been too nice, too understanding, too accommodating, and this has allowed all the grifters, parasites, and sociopaths to take advantage of us. We have to be harder if we're to survive this. We have to stop caring about "racism". We've decided "racism" is our Original Sin - inexcusable, unrecoverable, unforgivable. Treating it as unforgivable makes us paralyzed at the mere threat of an accusation. We simply have to stop giving a shit.
Is there racism in the world? Yes, but who cares? There are MANY problems far worse than mere racism. Are we all racist? Is society systemically racist? Are we riddled with unconscious bias? DON'T KNOW, DON'T CARE. There are real problems in the world more important than this pathological effort to find racism under every rock.
Douglas Murray is a very eloquent man. I wish more like him were in Government. He doesn't pull his punches
and he speaks honestly from the heart.
I crossed from St Malo to Portsmouth on Brittany Ferries back around 2011. There was hardly anyone on the ferry, low season.
As I sat with my wife and mother I noticed two "asian" guys, which was highly unusual in itself, who were behaving strangely and photographing all around the restaurant area and stairways near where we sat. I glanced at them and got very hostile looks.
On getting home I decided to call the poIice terror helpline and gave all I knew....but will admit that when asked for my details I refused as I knew I ran the risk of getting a police visit myself.
I phoned Brittany Ferries and asked if the police had contacted them. They said the police never do warn them of suspicious activity.
Thankfully the French authorities now have armed sea marshals on the ferries.
Spot on Douglas!
After the MEN bombing, I was on campaign for local elections and spoke to a member of the public, a very pleasant elderly lady in Manchester, who brought up Islam and terrorism - I hadn't - and said "Of course, these terrorists aren't Muslims". Not being a professional campaigner, I was a bit lost for words at this - how I wish I was bright enough to instantly respond with pithy insight, "Well we can be pretty sure that the last words of those who flew the planes into the twin towers on 911 were "Allahu Ahkbar" - community leaders might deny it, but the terrorists THINK their radicalism IS Islam."
Sadly I didn't, because I wasn't prepared for an outwardly pleasant, rational person being so willing to stick their head in the sand. The reaction after the MEN bombing in Manchester says it all - the greatest outcry was against anyone who might ask awkward questions, even before those questions might be asked. It felt more like British people who would like something done were being blamed for this bombing rather than the vicious psychos who were actually responsible.
Douglas Murray deserves a medal for standing up for our country. I just wish there were more people like him who genuinely loves his country. Thank you Mr Murray.🙏🙏💜💚💙
Did anyone see the 🐘 in the room.
It's plain as plain can be but what ever you do don't tell anyone you can see it.
Yet another outstanding contribution from the brilliant mind of Douglas Murray. Thank you Douglas for articulating what we all think and believe.
I think all political pundits and journalists should devote as much energy as they possibly can to preventing our government from shutting society down, forcing us to wear masks, and making, say, hugging 'illegal' ever again.
Douglas Murray, Andy Ngo, Laurence Fox, Melanie Phillips ... high profile, yes. But all fearlessly telling the truth. Long may they do so.
interestingly andy ngo a democrat all his life until they went marxist is classed by the bbc as far right.
Jesus Christ.
Luis strategy is great I’ve used them since 2017. I’ve average 3,455% per yr!
I could listen to Douglas Murray all day.
Well done for bringing up the question of why this radical family was brought into the country.
Really respect and admire Douglas Murray's forthright and fearless honesty. The young security guard is NOT to blame in ANY way.
Douglas has eloquently represented the anger that is bubbling up among us. There will be a reckoning.
Brilliant and important discussion.
Thanks to The Spectator and all involved.
The link between the training exercise and what happened is tenuous. He's right about the taboo of racism being way too strong.
Nonsense, there's a direct correlation. What happened after the training exercise was ignorance, moral cowardice and coercion in relation to the religion of peace which leads to political correctness which enables incidents such as the Manchester Arina slaughter.
Spot on as usual, we have no idea how many of them are here who are a threat, or indeed how many are here in total who should not be.
@Michael Miller
Saw Luis first time in New York City 2019. His teaching towards financial freedom is highly commended.
Douglas is a true legend for the British country in whole. Great work, keep it up!!!
