'To call Island of Strangers "unflinching" is to understate its tenacity and courage. It is forthright - territorial - yet it maintains a distinctive English politeness that will force its critics to address its argument: this is no polemic, but it is an unmistakable act of defiance.' The Critic
BRITAIN IS BEING TRANSFORMED. IT IS UNFREE. AND IT IS GETTING WORSE.
As mass migration reshapes Britain's population, an increasingly authoritarian state attempts to manage the resulting hyper-diversity by suppressing freedom of speech. We see this in two-tier policing, in attempts to criminalise blasphemy against Islam, and even in the private sector where thousands have lost their jobs or have been punished for expressing their beliefs.
In Island of Strangers, Ben Jones - a director of the Free Speech Union - shows how multiculturalism came just as Britain was losing its sense of itself, as Christianity declined, and how its elite embraced a creed of 'diversityism'. Grounded in a long view of Britain's history, this book gets to the fundamental causes of why Keir Starmer's UK feels so unfree.
The free speech crisis isn't just a passing problem. Silencing dissent is now built into how the fractured UK is governed. Different identity groups are increasingly locked in competition to protect their sacred ideas. The most potent challenge to Britain's tradition of free speech comes from within Islam. This book is unafraid to grapple with these truths.
Increasingly it seems impossible even to define who 'we' are, much less what we believe or what unites us. Do we really have more in common than that which divides us? Increasingly it feels like we don't. Taking Keir Starmer's infamous line, this book argues that Britain has been transformed into 'an island of strangers'.©2026 Ben Jones (P)2026 Little, Brown Book Group Limited

Of course Tommy Robinson and Nick Griffin have been saying all this for years. Had Griffin not be so destroyed on TV his contribution to the rape gang exposures might have saved many victims that particular horror. The media are at last catching up with the working classes who despite the lack of formal education in social affairs have none the less led the way and gone to prison for saying everything in this book.
I think the book validates what Robinson has said in his films and journalism, he doesn't get any credit at all.
I think the issue of class is ignored here as it is often and at a high cost to social cohesion. It is our daughters being raped, we have paid in advance for the brave new world that the wokies intend for us...it is outlined in this book and for that I give the author thanks and credit
All so very predictable

I wish the author spent more time on the debt we have to Greek culture and philosophy compared to the Judeo-Christian heritage, but otherwise a compelling read.
Extremely interesting and important
