If you’re discussing the rise of a global fascist movement that is now strongly exerting itself domestically and you’re *still* wittering about the speech tyranny of the kids and the baleful influence of Stonewall, then that’s pretty wacky, folks! It looks unserious and self-indulgent at very best!

Apologies - have googled Nairu, but all I get back is something to do with inflation and unemployment.

May I ask what Nairu means in this context, please?
