I am pleased to announce the fifth nominee for the 2018 Jonathan Bowden Oratory Prize, a vlogger who has made a name for himself across the Western World, Colin Robertson, aka Millennial Woes.
Colin’s speaking style is intimate and delivered at a measured pace, consistent with reading rather than unprompted oration, and Colin apologises for this at the beginning of his speech. However this is the speaking style that has made him famous and which has given his video logs such wide appeal and it is only natural that he would remain true to this mode of delivery when delivering a live oration.
[NB: We apologise that this video is temporarily unavailable due to unilateral action on the part of Google restricting freedom of speech.]
This is a long speech and one that deals with many complex issues and it would not be suited to a fluid and bombastic style of delivery. Colin needed to be precise with his wording and the slow pace of delivery, following closely scripted notes was probably the only way of delivering this speech adequately. I personally found the content of this speech impressive to such a degree that it outweighs any concerns over the mode of delivery, and it betrays a first class analytical mind laying bare the subtle psychological motivations that run at the heart of what it is to be a White man in the early 21st Century. This speech catapults Colin Robertson from relative obscurity as a thinker on the radical right and as a nationalist orator, to place him in close contention with the finest minds and best speakers that we have today.

Millenial Woes was the gate way to White identitarianism for me.
Ever since i was a young lad i had always noticed that i was much more nationalistic than other children and cared about our country intently whilst others were oblivious. It was never anything more than civic nationalism though but after discovering content on youtube by sheer accident i eventually ended up on Woes channel.
Great guy and fantastic content.

Great speech indeed, but what’s missing in this country is Great Action. Nationalist politics to me now is all about waiting and more waiting, Why wait any longer i have waited about 5 years and still no sign of salvation. I remember going to Bristol to talk about my idea when MM talked to me about his idea instead and he wanted £30 a month off me for his idea which could be where the prize money is coming from, and i am still no wiser about my idea, but there you are i should have asked at the time, what a waste of time but glad i never spent a penny on this outfit.

“What is missing in this country is Great Action”, you say, and that is absolutely correct. So why have you been waiting and waiting instead of taking action?
.
You claim to have come to me with an idea, and it would appear to have been one that I saw through immediately, suggesting that you join Western Spring and take up our idea instead.
.
The difference between us is that the members of Western Spring have sufficient faith in themselves and our ideas to act upon them. We donate money into a fund that is then used to finance our activities, limited though they still are at this time. You on the other hand make one attempt to engage me with your idea and then give up, do nothing, wait and wait, and then moan that nothing is happening and brag that you have not “spent a penny” helping a venture that is clearly more successful than your own proposition has been.
.
This is the problem with British nationalism at present, that too many people want to be the ‘Chiefs’ and want to be in a position in which they can claim credit for any successes without exerting themselves, and without doing the ‘donkey work’ of creating an organisation or putting their heads above the parapet. People like you wait for others to take action first, to do that donkey work and prepare the way so that you can jump on their band-wagon and hitch a free ride.
.
Someone very wisely said to me recently that “too many people want to get more out of nationalism than they are prepared to put in, when in order for any movement to succeed it needs people to be prepared to put more in than they expect to get out”. I have put my money where my mouth is and personally I am considerably poorer today in monetary terms than I would have been had I devoted my time to ‘feathering my nest’, but like the other members of Western Spring who donate on a regular basis we find solace and gain inspiration from the fact that we are involved in a great cause — arguably the greatest cause in the history of the world — and we can justifiably congratulate ourselves that we have taken action while others have merely sat on the side-lines waiting and moaning and feeling sorry for themselves.
