The renowned French philosopher Renaud Camus was recently denied entry to the UK, due to his “right-wing conspiracy theories”. This prompted our English correspondent Seneca III to buy Mr. Camus’ book and write the following report.
Renaud Camus and British Misgovernance
by Seneca III
The distinguished French philosopher Renaud Camus (not to be confused with Albert Camus, the 1957 Nobel Laureate in Literature) has been advised in an email by our so well-enriched Home Office that he has been denied the electronic travel authorisation (ETA) needed to enter Britain on the grounds that:
“Your presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good.”
[How’s that for an irony overdose, considering the depredations of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and Border Force Taxi Services which go out on a daily basis and pick up boat loads of undocumented feral, predatory fighting age men of unknown origin who have illegally entered UK waters (with the help of the French) and bring them back to the UK at Dover from where they are then bussed to government-rented four-star hotels to live a life of indolent luxury at the expense of the British taxpayers?]
Naturally, to me that ignominy was the equivalent of a red rag to a bull, and I went straight onto Amazon and ordered a copy of his book:
Renaud Camus, The Great Replacement. An introduction to Global Replacism
Editions du Chateau. [Dedicated] to the two prophets, Enoch Powell and Jean Raspail.
Meanwhile, Vauban Books, the independent publisher of Camus’ work in English, said: “The decision to bar Renaud Camus from the UK is only further confirmation that that country has abandoned the most basic principles of liberal democracy. Camus is one of our greatest living writers and will be remembered as such by posterity. The Starmer government, by contrast, will be remembered — if it’s remembered at all — only for its serial betrayals and profound mediocrity.”
Game, Set and Match, Vauban. The book itself arrived twenty-four hours later.
First impressions: It is a big book, coming in at 429 pages in 29 sections. In one sense it is not a book in the normal meaning of the word, as the Forward explains. “The Great Replacement is not a very good book. Fact is, it’s hardly a book at all. It is more like a haphazard collection of texts of quite heterogeneous nature and origin: lectures, public speeches, essays, interviews, articles for magazines, exchanges of letters and emails, and even a children’s tale. Since they are all on the same general topic — namely the change of people and civilisation — and were intended for different audiences and readerships at different times — there are many repetitions amongst them.”
However, during a quick scan I came across this rather chilling historic note:
