I fear for the Telegraph.
The new German owners are taking a wrecking ball to a fine journalistic institution by sacking 100 journalists ( despite saying they would invest) and pushing out the door the only names worth reading, the latest being the brave and super talented Alison Pearson.
All in favour of cutting costs but what is their big idea?
Some old nonsense about more foreign news (nobody will pay for that) and turning the Telegraph into a global behemoth.
That definitely won’t happen.
My advice is to take a tip from the financially successful Times;
Invest heavily in journalism and journalists, disclose information not available elsewhere, keep your good writers fed and watered.
I know there is nobody at the Telegraph, from the Editor downwards not concerned at their future and the future of the title.
These are tough times for the media, not made easier by these owners destroying their own £600million investment and the enjoyment of their readers.
Britain is being destroyed by six basic actions.
1. Destroying energy supply (and consequently everything else) by taxing what does work to subsidise what doesn't. (see windmills)
2. Telling the plebs what they should like and are allowed to have, while sabotaging what they actually buy. (cars especially)
3. Taxing people who do work to subsidise people who don't.
4. Asset stripping useful arms of the state to sustain the ideological arms.
5. Importing surplus labour to prop up the above.
6. Borrowing.
We are a rainy country surrounded by sea and with massive coal, oil and gas reserves. Only a Labour government could bring us a combined drought and energy crisis.
We can't have cheap energy because the government has decided against it. We can't have functioning borders because the government has decided against it. We can't have decent paying jobs because the government has decided against it. We can't have safe communities because the government has decided against it. We can't have viable armed forces because the government has decided against it. I struggle to think of any major problem afflicting this country that isn't a conscious choice of the people who rule us.
“You will never, ever know what a lovely country this was,” wrote Geoffrey Prater, a Second World War veteran, in 2006. In a letter to journalist Nicholas Pringle, he recalled how his brother was killed by a parachute mine while fire-watching in Stratford in October 1940; how he himself served in North Africa and Italy with the Royal Tank Regiment; and how, in late 1944, his mother wrote to tell him that a V1 had destroyed their home and everything in it.
Six decades later, he looked back on what they had sacrificed. “I am not going to comment on our country today,” he wrote, declaring his love for Queen and country. His letter ended simply: “Was it all worth it? No.”
Prater was not alone. Last November, 100-year-old Royal Navy veteran Alec Penstone told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “I can see in my mind’s eye those rows and rows of white stones.” He recalled the hundreds of friends who had given their lives. “For what? The country of today? No, I’m sorry. The sacrifice wasn’t worth the result that it is now.”
Penstone, who died in May, seemed to bewilder ITV host Kate Garraway, who patronisingly offered an “Oh, I’m sorry” in the tone one might use to console a child who had lost a game of football.
Garraway’s co-host Adil Ray was downright rude, abruptly demanding: “What do you mean by that though?”
To answer that question, I have produced a documentary featuring the generation who remember Britain before mass immigration, exploring how the country has transformed within a single lifetime.

Ninety years ago, Britain was top nation. Its population was ~99% white British; today it is 74%. By the 2060s, we will likely be a minority.
I interviewed those who grew up in Britain’s heyday and witnessed its decline and demographic transformation.
Watch the full film below.
I feel a bit bad for depressing everyone atm. I know I am bombarding everyone with really miserable info. I do think we have to flush all this stuff out. Moreover, I do believe the plan is working, which is to go on about it until it becomes mainstream and MPs can’t ignore it.
Wildfires occur: We cannot accept this as the new normal
Insane numbers of dangerous illegal migrants enter the country: Best I can do is send them to picturesque villages across the nation
The migrant scatter policy, or whatever Burnham is now calling it (rape devolution?) is so insane and apocalyptic that it’s hard to call anything else extreme.
Dumping rapists from Third World countries into English towns and villages is beyond Enoch Powell’s wildest nightmares.
Adding folic acid to the food supply is mass medication of the entire population without consent.
Sign the petition for a parliamentary debate (below):
We are paying council tax, yet our services and infrastructures are rotting. Britain is a mess. Let’s challenge local councils to get their fingers out and clean Britain up. That’s what we should be paying our council tax for. Or alternatively, do it ourselves in our communities.
The law abiding British people, and Europeans & Americans as well, have been put into an almost impossible position by ideological bureaucrats over the past 29 years. The only way out is difficult.
