French Philosopher Officially ‘Unpersoned’ by UK Government for Thought Deviance
LONDON — The U.K. Home Office announced this week that French philosopher Renaud Camus has been formally Unpersoned under the nation’s new Ministry of Cognitive Safety guidelines.
Camus, 78, was scheduled to speak in London about immigration and cultural identity when border officials intercepted him at Heathrow and informed him that his name, presence, and recorded thoughts had been "inconducive to the public good."
A Home Office spokesperson issued the following clarification:
“Allowing Camus’s theories to compete in the so-called ‘marketplace of ideas’ is far too risky. What if, hypothetically of course, people found them persuasive? We are, of course, completely confident that his ideas are wrong—so confident, in fact, that we’re terrified to confront them directly.
It is far safer to suppress them entirely and allow them to fester in the darkness of society’s fringes than to expose them to daylight where their flaws might be accidentally overlooked.
To conclude... It’s not that French philosopher Richard Camus’s ideas are good or bad—it’s that they never existed at all. We don’t know who you’re talking about, and you’re crazy for bringing it up.”
To further secure societal stasis, the Wikipedia entry for “The Great Replacement” now consists solely of a suggested schedule for reordering CPAP machine supplies.

JUST THE FACTS
- In April, the U.K. Home Office denied French philosopher Renaud Camus entry, citing his presence as “not conducive to the public good” due to his promotion of the “great replacement” immigration theory.
- Camus had been scheduled to speak at a Homeland Party event and claimed he was invited to debate at the Oxford Union, but both plans are now in question due to the travel ban.
- The ban was issued under expanded executive powers that allow entry denial without a crime or violent intent, prompting concerns about speech-based exclusions bypassing due process.
- Conservative peer Lord Young and the Free Speech Union are supporting Camus’s appeal, calling the ban an overreach and arguing that controversial ideas should be debated, not censored.
- Camus claimed the British government fears open debate about immigration and called the UK one of Europe’s “guiltiest” offenders for allowing “unchecked migration.”
