He describes what he sees happening in parts of Britain as immigration transforms communities, including reports of people being told they are unwelcome walking their dogs in predominantly Muslim areas.The conversation turns to the relationship between the political left and Muslim voters, with De Santo arguing that left-wing parties increasingly depend on immigrant voting blocs while losing support among their traditional native working-class electorate.De Santo also explains why he believes Israel represents many of the values the modern Western left has rejected — patriotism, family, national identity and confidence in one's own civilization.The conversation also explores Christianity's decline in Britain, demographic change, the culture of victimhood, feminism, the future of Western society and the role of comedy as one of the remaining spaces for challenging political taboos.De Santo also reveals that he lost his BBC job because of his comedy and explains why he believes comedians increasingly have to take risks to say things that other institutions will not.Subscribe to The Western Spirit for more conversations about politics, culture, Israel and the future of the West.Subscribe to Nicholas De Santo for more of his comedy and commentary: https://youtube.com/@AngloItalianComedy?si=RoUSEgH8X_x3d95GFor business inquiries, including advertising opportunities on our show, please email us at: thewesternspiritpodcast@gmail.comNo Israeli should have to face hunger alone.
