“When Fraser Nelson put it to you that Rishi Sunak is absolutely english… you said, ‘He’s a brown Hindu; how is he English?’”
Kisin: “No that’s not what I said…”
Watch him lie and watch the evidence that he lied.

Who is Konstantin Kisin?
Konstantin Kisin is a British-Russian commentator best known for his media appearances, podcasting, and frequent positioning as a contrarian voice in Britain’s culture-war ecosystem. He co-hosts Triggernometry, a show that markets itself as fearless truth-telling while largely framing debates around free speech, “wokeness”, and perceived liberal excess. Kisin presents himself as a liberal sceptic, but his public persona is rooted less in policy analysis and more in performance: confident, combative, and designed for viral circulation rather than careful scrutiny.
His arguments often rely on anecdote, selective examples, and a rhetorical style that treats social justice movements as existential threats while downplaying structural inequalities. Critics point out that he regularly invokes free speech absolutism while appearing on well-funded platforms that amplify already dominant voices, framing disagreement as censorship. On issues such as immigration, identity, and the media, Kisin tends to reduce complex social questions into morality plays about common sense versus elite madness, a simplification that resonates with audiences primed to distrust institutions.
What ultimately defines Kisin’s role in British public discourse is not originality but utility. He functions as a translator of right-leaning grievances into a tone that sounds reasonable, witty, and disarmingly moderate. This makes him effective, but also slippery: hard claims are softened into “just asking questions”, and responsibility for consequences is deflected onto an amorphous liberal establishment. In that sense, Kisin is less a challenger of power than a cultural middleman, laundering reactionary ideas through the language of reasonableness and free inquiry.
Oh, and he is a LIAR!
