Last weekend’s Homeland Party Remigration Conference was predictable in many ways. The party of ‘sensible nationalism’ ordered its (male) troops to turn up in suits and ties and a good behaviour injunction was observed even when a small group of anti-fascists turned up outside the venue in Bourne, Lincolnshire.
Well, most of the time, that is.
The problem with fascists and neo-nazis is that they can’t keep their more hardcore beliefs buttoned down for very long.
On this occasion they did quite well. It lasted until the last Q&A session when Kenny Smith was asked by a member of the audience:
“You have spoken a lot today about African and Asian remigration, but what about Semitic remigration?”
Smith couldn’t resist it. He laughed and replied that: “Anyone who doesn’t belong here has to go”.
And his audience cheered…
Sniggering antisemites
That little bit of sniggery antisemitism will not, you can be assured, find its way into the videos of the event that Homeland eventually post online.
The most absurd moment of the conference came with the speech from star speaker Renaud Camus, the French racist who coined the term ‘Great Replacement’.
He was banned from entry into the UK the week before, so the party promised a live video link up so that he could deliver give his intended speech regardless. In the end, however, it was not live but simply pre-recorded.
Trouble was, it was interminably long and dull.
So, the organisers, and here we kid you not, resorted to the bizarre ploy of speeding it up to around 1.2x its actual speed to get it over and done with more quickly.
Even Smith was moved to comment on how tedious it had been.
Pity old Renaud didn’t crack a few jokes about Jews…
