Unusually for me I’ve been preoccupied with local politics lately. The Dover dinghy crisis has reached my doorstep. The Home Office wants to warehouse 1500 illegal immigrants in my neighbourhood. I’ve been following the campaign to stop it from happening, and attending the protests, but it looks like the facility will go ahead. The Home Office has completely disregarded the feelings of local residents. Though the parish council is notionally running a campaign against it, they have all but admitted defeat and are now in talks with local police and “partner agencies” as to how the fallout will be mitigated. There is to be a near permanent police presence in the village.

But then the official action group doesn’t really represent the local sentiment at all. It’s been appropriated as the exclusive property of local do-gooders of the liberal middle class NIMBY persuasion, one of whom is a signed up member of the open borders NGOcracy. We suspect that the woman in question has eyes on a very large support grant for her “City of Sanctuary” charity in nearby Ripon. She may oppose the camp but will do quite well out of it if it happens. She may not gain financially but it gets her all kinds of high society praise and dinner invites. Just what our local Margo Leadbetter dreams of.

Opposition to the camp has been couched in terms of “wrong plan, wrong place”. They say the “refugees” should be housed in major conurbations, not small villages. Basically, they’re saying dump the darkies on Bradford. Bump them up the housing list! The campaign is “liaising” with Hope Not Hate and pruning any off message comments from their Facebook group. Several locals have been banned without notice for merely liking a comment. I’m now of the view that if the people of Linton allow these people to do their politics for them then they deserve everything they get.

What’s interesting, though, is that this is very much a class divide. The village is outwardly middle class but there are plenty of working class people around. One notices the how the “refugees welcome” idiots in Linton tend to be well-to-do women and soy boys who won’t have to compete with migrants for work and healthcare. As with the metropolitan “Labour” party, the needs of working class people are way down the list after illegal immigrants.

The excuse they’re hiding behind is that they don’t want to be seen as racist, or allow the campaign to be hijacked by the “far right”, and though I understand their caution, the definition of far right seems to extend to anyone not going along with the “poor helpless refugee” narrative. Some in the area are still unaware that the vast majority of “service users” will be lone men of fighting age who paid large sums to smugglers in order to gain access to the asylum system and defraud it.

In that respect, the local politics is a microcosm of the national debate, where much of the same dynamics apply. Steve Laws tells me much the same happened in the row over Napier Barracks, with do-gooders and NGOcrats absorbing local opposition and turning it to their own purposes. The NGOcray is opposed to the use of barracks and hotels and won’t be happy until anyone who rocks up is given a free house that meets their criteria of what is suitable, and all avenues of removal have been shut down. They are, in effect, aiding and abetting illegal immigration, often financed by central and local government grants. Refugee Action York just bagged £180k from the National Lottery Community fund – yet this facility is set to shatter this community.

And, of course, when these illegal immigrants are caught by local paedophile hunter vigilantes, or found loitering around school gates, or arrested for sexual assault, not one of these preening do-gooders will take responsibility for rolling out the red carpet. The local MP, Kevin Hollinrake, is making a token effort to oppose the facility, but is largely falling in with the sanitised narrative and will pin the blame on the Home Office, washing his hands of it.

We are told that initially only sixty migrants will be moved into Linton, and numbers may be capped at 500 for a short time, before expanding to the rated capacity and beyond. Being that the Home Office has broken every one of its promises, there is no reason to believe them. Migrants are arriving thick and fast down at Dover and we’re running our of places to put them. Unless we see significant action to slow the flow and remove those already here, we can expect to see Linton fill up fast, and then other communities will be in the crosshairs. Safe and quiet communities across the nation are to have their lives turned upside down.

The local curtain twitchers can squeal all they like about the far right but the one thing that’s guaranteed to bring the far right roaring back into British politics is the abject failure of this government to control our borders and stop what amounts to an invasion of illegal immigrants. Direct action may soon be the only option left.

This government was given a thumping mandate to fix immigration yet it has allowed itself to be pushed around by activist lawyers and NGOs. Each new dinghy the RNLI escorts ashore is further proof that voting doesn’t work – and eventually, when it’s fully understood how our own politicians at the local and national level are selling us out, and young women and girls are again being thrown under the bus, it’ll be more than just a few lads from Wakefield waving placards and taking photos at the gates.

I’m hoping Linton residents wake up to the fact that the “action group” is gradually becoming a false flag operation and hope to see more robust protest but I fear it’s already too late. The national media, especially the BBC, has worked hard to obstruct the truth, and the kind hearted public have been fed a constant stream of NGO disinformation. Even the RNLI is serving the propaganda agenda of open borders extremists. It seems the public is going to have to learn the hard way.
