Omphaloskepsis, odium and oikophobia...


You may not have guessed but the blog title is describing the BBC. Omphaloskepsis is basically navel-gazing, here I use it as a literal modern sense, self-absorbed unaware narcissistic wokeness, not that of the omphalopsychite who meditates by gazing at the navel. The BBC simply hate this country and all it stands for and has stood for. Oikophoboa obviously meant in the modern sense of Roger Scruton [PDF] but put very simply would be 'home hating', "Oikophobia and Xenophilia" [Wiki] gives more of a clue.  a "seeming loss of national loyalty is a feature of our political élites, but it is not shared by the English people."...I would add, though in the text they are not connected, "the British generally, and the English in particular".
"Oikophobia is a stage through which the adolescent mind normally passes. But it is a stage in which some people — intellectuals especially [Ows: IYIs even more especially] — tend to become arrested. As George Orwell pointed out, intellectuals on the Left are especially prone to it, and this has oftenmade them willing agents of foreign powers."



The point of the above is that Laurence Fox has called the BBC exactly that, on Talk Radio, the YouTube interview HERE is well worth a listen (only 7 minutes, and what he says is 100% true).

The BBC re the current Last Night of the Proms is kowtowing to BLM and "Black Studies" racists, who also all seem fairly ignornant of the meaning of the words, the history of slavery in general and especially The Slave Trade Act (1807), the Slavery Abolition Act (1833)
etc. 

Both those interviews were yesterday.
