SDP Leader William Clouston met with Mike Graham on St Patrick's Day:

St. Patrick’s Day • Iftar in Trafalgar Square • Diversity and National Security • The Progressive Mentality • Restore Britain 

 

St. Patrick’s Day (00:00:00 - 00:04:24)

The segment opens with Mike criticising a speech by the Irish president Catherine Connolly who referred to "Patrick" instead of "St. Patrick." He argues this is a deliberate attempt to secularise the holiday to avoid offending non-Christian groups. William agrees, describing it as a sickness where politicians and the woke church use historical figures to push agendas like open borders. They discuss the rapid shift in Ireland from a devout Catholic society to a massively progressive one, noting a significant democratic deficit since Ireland joined the EU.

Iftar in Trafalgar Square (00:05:38 - 00:10:50)

The conversation shifts to the UK, specifically criticizing London Mayor Sadiq Khan for hosting a large outdoor Iftar in Trafalgar Square.

  • The Show of Force: William describes these public prayer events as a show of dominance and an attempt at claiming public space.

  • Secularism vs. Religion: Mike argues that while freedom of religion is important, worship should remain in private or dedicated religious buildings rather than obstructing public squares.

  • Social Values: William cites surveys suggesting that high Muslim populations in areas like London lead to more "traditional" (non-progressive) views on issues like homosexuality, which he argues is a poor fit for Western secular democracy.

Diversity and National Security (00:10:51 - 00:14:15)

Mike and William challenge the slogan diversity is our strength.

  • Division: William argues that mass immigration from radically different cultures has created division, citing the need for MI5 to monitor 40,000 individuals as evidence of a fifth column problem.

  • Cultural Clashes: They discuss the incompatibility of Western values—such as freedom of thought and women's rights—with backward societies where apostasy is punished and women are treated as second-class citizens.

The Progressive Mentality and Historical Guilt (00:16:00 - 00:18:50)

William critiques the hyper-liberal alliance between Western progressives and religious extremists. He argues that progressives are never fair to the West and over-emphasise Western historical sins, like slavery, while ignoring that Britain was the nation that ultimately worked to stamp it out globally.

Political Alliances and SDP Policy (00:18:51 - 00:21:40)

In response to a viewer question about the Restore Britain movement:

  • Personal Ties: William reveals he previously served on their advisory board but had to resign when they became a formal political party, as he cannot lead the SDP while assisting a rival organization.

  • Economic Differences: William distinguishes the SDP from other right-wing groups by emphasizing his support for state ownership of utilities, energy transmission, and railways, as well as a state-led house-building program.

  • Political Outlook: He stresses the need for a front runner on the right to challenge the current government by the 2029 election to avoid the country falling into further trouble.
