Mkhabela notes that, over the years, there has been a rising concern among ANC presidents over corruption within the party. Interestingly, of all four presidents, “Zuma was the most concerned about corruption”, he said. In sum, everything Democrats and their allies did with the power they had won showed that their ultimate goal was not to replace or destroy one man in office, or to win one election, but to establish a one-party state.

Leveraging its power in academia, the left has forced books like Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility” and Ibram X. Kendi’s “How to be an Antiracist” into the required reading lists for college students. Horowitz does not understate the damage these ideas pose. The account reveals tantalising details of an identity struggle in which she felt “acutely aware of difference” and “wanted to fit in”. In her 20s she had something of an early midlife crisis, closing her legal practice – she was by then a successful lawyer – and taking a “very late gap year”, travelling around Pakistan. In a rather extraordinary rebuttal of the various conspiracy theories about her, she cautions those suspicious about her past to “stop watching Fox News!”. The cookie is set by CasaleMedia.

The second form of political insurance is where business people buy ANC leaders, ANC factions and some structures of the ANC as an investment that, at some point, the business person may want to redeem, he said. The opening sections of the book explore what it means to be a British Muslim. Warsi reflects on her experience growing up in Yorkshire while facing the challenges of deindustrialisation also affecting other parts of the North and the Midlands from the 1960s to the 1980s. Warsi describes herself as the daughter of a poor father; however, she grew up not at the heart of her community but at the margins: close enough not to be seen to be apart, but far away enough not to be absorbed by the pervading culture. A strategic rational action defined her middle path, one that has navigated the often frozen-in-time heritage bubble existence of many South Asian Muslims in the North and the Midlands and the need to uphold a pro-integration Islamic outlook on life and society, inspired by Sufi leanings derived from the Barelwi School of Sunni Islam.This understanding, Mkhabela says, informed the book’s “devastating conclusion” that, “There is not a single member of the ANC who was ever expelled for stealing public money.” Owen Jones described the book as "A terrifying, frightening indictment of the British establishment" while Naomi Klein praised it as "The definitive account of the strike—the best book on the Thatcher era". In The Irish Times the book was commended as "A staggering journalistic investigation" with Joseph Crilly writing that "one can only allow one’s head to swirl with a sense of the iniquity and the dishonesty involved". [1] David Horowitz is one of the cleanest writers and clearest thinkers about contemporary politics. Like me, he is what used to be called a neo-con, that is, someone with the wherewithal to escape the leftist thought-plantation. There is truth in Sun Tzu’s saying to “know your enemy” and it clearly helps if you were once one of the opposing team.

The Enemy Within: The Secret War Against the Miners is a book by British journalist and writer Seumas Milne, first published in 1994. Updated editions were released in 1995, 2004, and 2014. The Enemy Within is a preeminent political account of the British Muslim experience, focusing on the most pressing concerns facing communities: namely, the twin evils of terrorism and Islamophobia. Warsi’s analysis of the problems facing British Muslims today is frank, and at times quite witty, as she pokes fun at the absurdity of the men around her. It is also a brave book, written by a woman, a northerner and a Muslim. Warsi went to the top of politics and fought for her stated aims as a Conservative, but also as a proud British Muslim. She rose to the position in spite of the wider problems of the Conservative-dominated Coalition. Her achievements are remarkable, making hers a special story. She witnessed it all, amassing a penetrating sense of the social problems, but could she have done more?

The Enemy Within

Another problem I see with Horowitz’s book is that part of the title is “How a Totalitarian Movement is Destroying America.” He writes: The decades-long infiltration of our education system by ideologies hostile to America, our institutions, and our freedom Enemies Within: Communists, the Cambridge Spies and the Making of Modern Britain by Richard Davenport-Hines, 2018 The source of these divisions is a reactionary ideology usually referred to as “Identity Politics,” which has engulfed the Democrat Party and undermines its liberal instincts. It is an ideology that is racial and collectivist, that privileges groups over individuals and demonizes those who fall on the wrong side of its social equations. [p.4]

The Enemy Within: The McClellan Committee's Crusade Against Jimmy Hoffa and Corrupt Labor Unions is a book by American politician Robert F. Kennedy [1] (assisted by John Seigenthaler) [2] first published in 1960, and republished in 1994. [3] Edwin Guthman, chairman of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial provided the introduction to the 1994 edition. [3] As Robert Kennedy was intimately involved, the book is somewhat autobiographical. It was a powerful irony, since guilt by accusation and dispensing with due process have historically been core elements of the practice of lynching. Progressives’ hysteria about hierarchy and oppression has led them to embrace the very mob justice they claim to abhor. The disjunction between the Morality Play that framed Kavanaugh as a rapist and the reality that he was an innocent victim of slanderous, malicious, and unsubstantiated accusations, could not have been greater.” -p. 76 The cookie is set by Krux Digital under the domain krxd.net.

The identity of his killer does not seem in doubt; another man is standing over his body, axe in hand. But with a world on the brink of ecological disaster, does one death still matter? Samuel Fisher’s second novel builds on his promising debut, The Chameleon , with an elegantly terrifying narrative that is reminiscent of Graham Swift’s Waterland in its focus on an insular, secretive community in the east of England, but stays entirely contemporary in its environmental concerns.

The alternative to this is not disengagement but greater engagement. Muslims must prove themselves as worthy citizens, she attests, separating questions of political and cultural engagement from the idea that conservatism among Muslims leads to terrorism per se. It is a clear statement on conservative Islam. While needing ongoing adaptation, it is not the reason for violent extremism. While I fully agree with this position, there is a risk that waiting for Muslims to iron out their differences ignores the opportunity to utilise the process of becoming itself as an important element in the progress needed for positive change. Moreover, British Islam does not need British Muslims to singularly espouse or uphold an advanced notion on citizenship. Often small but necessary wins are required to achieve desired outcomes.
