In this conversation, Pete discusses his motivations for writing a comprehensive manifesto aimed at the right of politics, critiques the current political landscape in the UK, and emphasises the need for coherent immigration policies and local governance. Pete also reflects on how his personal experiences growing up in Bradford impacted the development of his own politics, why the UK is seeing a rise of sectarianism, the complexities of political ideologies, and he advocates for a more radical approach to integration and governance, including considering repatriation or re migration policies to ease cultural tensions, as well as pressure on public services and the public purse in the United Kingdom, and much, much more.
You'll hear that Pete is a straight talking Yorkshireman, which if you're not familiar with this flavour of Englishman is a very common trait for them. He talks in a way that reminds me of the Canadian professor Gad Saad, a Lebanese Jew whose family fled from Islamists to avoid death when that country began to descend into civil war in the mid to late 20th century.
Gad speaks his mind without fear of falling foul of political correctness. And he does so because he believes. There is a weight of evidence, personal, societal, scientific, political, that backs up what he says, and believes that the consequences of not doing so is much worse than burying your head in the sand.
And Pete is much the same. For those of us unused to hearing such straight down the line commentary, it feels alien. Yet Peter's also a decent man and is showing a lot of guts to say what he does, given the censorious environment in which we live.
