Are we talking about empire? But he's moving into an explanation of how economics and migration are only part of the problem. The real issue, the real poison, the real fight is actually with the progressive left. The flag-waving is, yes, a deliberate hostile response to what Reform sees as "dangerous and transgressive ideas".
