Douglas Murray says the Nazis gave nationalism a bad name

The comments have been described as "ignorant" and "stupid" by Ian Dunt.

Douglas Murray has said it is high time nationalists reinvent the brand after being dogged by unfortunate historic events in Germany.

At a conference where the F word has never been far away, the former associate director of the Henry Jackson Society echoed Suella Braverman’s rhetoric by proudly trumpeting “British values”.

He said: “There was nothing wrong with nationalism in Britain. It’s just that there was something wrong with nationalism in Germany.

“I don’t see why no one should be allowed to love their country because the Germans mucked up twice in a century.”

The comments have been described as “ignorant” and “stupid” by Ian Dunt, the author of How Westminster Works… And Why It Doesn’t.

There was nothing wrong with nationalism in Britain. It's just that there was something wrong with nationalism in Germany.

Elsewhere in the conference, there were also esoteric discussions of “biopolitics” on the agenda and frequently shared denunciations of “wokeism”, particularly from Katharine Birbalsingh, who was once dubbed “Britain’s strictest headteacher”.

For your records, she is the one who said that kids should sit in isolation if their parents couldn’t afford school lunches.

She also said people from poorer backgrounds should aim to take “smaller steps” instead of going for top universities, like Oxford and Cambridge.

So an all-around delightful woman.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
