Broken record: Tony D’Souza’s Thought for the Week

‘We don’t have to accept this negative version of reality.’

by Tony D’Souza 24th January 2025

They say that Britain is broken – that nothing works and everything is in decline. According to the narrative of these doom-mongers, our democracy is barely functional, the NHS is about to implode, and the BBC is run by subversives. But the people who say this kind of thing do it out of self-interest. They want to foster discontent because, by spreading a negative vision of a broken Britain, they are able to offer their alternative.
