Immigration: drifting to the extremes

Tory indifference on immigration is creating a dangerous void in British politics

I will talk to virtually anyone about politics. If someone tells me I shouldn’t talk to a person because of their politics, I usually take that as a recommendation rather than a warning. Yesterday, though, at the Linton on Ouse protest, I chatted with a man from Patriotic Alternative. I wanted to understand the difference between my opinion and theirs.


PA, as I understand it, are explicitly ethno-nationalist. Being that they are a successor movement to the BNP, comprising of many of the same people, and seeking to become a registered political party, they're filling the far right void in British politics. Their view is that mass immigration can and should be reversed. It was put to me that we should offer a sum of £10k to encourage non-British born people to leave.


I think that’s unworkable. I asked what happens when they simply take the money then show up again a few months later, to which the reply was to simply “close the borders”. This is not intelligent policy. Moreover, such a radical policy would result in leftist and popular resistance, similar to what we’ve already seen with mobs blocking deportation vans, but on a far larger scale, to the point where we’d have open insurrection in our cities – which could start a low level civil war. Such a policy is never going to enjoy majority consent either. It’s a pipedream.


If I had a time machine or a magic wand I would undo mass immigration in a heartbeat. European immigration has made a valuable contribution but the same cannot be said of Pakistanis and many Arab Africans who, after decades, are still not integrated, have no intention of doing so, and have brought all the vileness of tribal culture to the UK. FGM, blasphemy codes, grooming gangs, sex selective abortions, and honour killings etc. are not what I call “enriching diversity”.


Fixing this mess is going to take time and political resilience. I want to see a slowdown of immigration, and policies designed to promote and encourage integration, along with and uncompromising and hostile environment for illegal immigrants. That much is possible, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable – and very necessary if we are to avert the cultural balkanisation of Britain and the subsequent ethnic conflict.


I appreciate that makes me very very right wing by British standards, but I still reject any notion of ethnic purity and all that nonsense. I do wish though, not unreasonably, to see some ethnic and cultural continuity on these islands to preserve our lands, customs, accomplishments and architecture, and don’t think a transient population of immigrants with no ancestral links to the nation and its story will care for it in the same way. Or at all.


Thus any policy that sees ethnic Brits becoming a minority is something I oppose. If then that makes me a racist then, then try persuading me otherwise. I am receptive to argument. I just don’t see why we should blithely accept our cultural extinction, handing over all that’s been built over the last thousand years to itinerants from all over the world with no accomplishments of their own to grace these lands.


Britain can be a successful multi-ethnic society if there is a coherent and unified sense of identity, living as equals under the same law, but mass immigration increasingly makes that virtually impossible – and gradually, our cities become ungovernable – ruled by the mob in the street as the police cower behind political correctness. Ultimately if Britain wants to remain a liberal democracy and tolerant in the sense that everyone can live freely and safely, then it cannot tolerate the cultural and legal demands of backward savages from the back hills of Kashmir.


I don’t think we should close the borders, but I do think we should, to a point, discriminate on the basis of culture, and if we are going to have immigration laws then they must be fully and fairly enforced. If we allow immigration cheats arriving in dinghies to circumvent our laws, then we’re effectively a borderless country. What we’re witnessing in Dover is a slow motion invasion.


The left still maintains the fiction that economic migrants are refugees and the definition of refugees is forever stretched to the point of meaninglessness. Our system of human rights laws and international treaties have become a golden ticket for freeloading chancers and a goldmine for parasitic NGOs and activist lawyers. It undermines any sense of fairness and confidence in the system, and when we have a Home Office that sits on its hands and allows over a million illegal immigrants to live and work in Britain, I won’t be remotely surprised if we do see a revival of the far right. If people can’t get what they want from mainstream parties they will look to the extremes.


We’re about to see that theory tested in the near future. Control of immigration was implied by the vote to leave the EU yet we see weaker work permit rules, lower salary and skill thresholds for entry, and a completely dysfunctional border force. Long-term visas for foreign nationals up 40pc since Brexit. The Tories have told endless lies and do nothing with their eighty seat majority to secure Britain’s borders. They hide behind legal challenges and “activist lawyers” but they could change the law overnight if they wanted to. They didn’t let a thing like parliamentary process stop them from enacting emergency Covid laws. It’s not like they don’t have a mandate to fix the borders.


I used to make more nuanced arguments than this about immigration, as my long history of blogging will show, but I’m tired of all the equivocation and couching language in careful terms to avoid setting off offendatrons. All my social media accounts are subject to censorship anyway, for even mildly conservative views, so there’s nothing to lose by saying it how I feel it. They’re going to silence us all one way or another.


Successive administrations have used immigration to prop up GDP and to fill skills gaps for their party donors, while each party panders to their minority bloc votes in urban marginals. The natives have been abandoned by their traditional parties. And we really do have to ask what the hell is wrong with this country that we can’t train our own people, instead of raiding other health services for staff? Half of new midwives and nurses now come from abroad. We’ve made our country a free for all, but Brits are destined to become basketcases and second class citizens in their own country, and are expected to sit back and watch as cities turn into lawless violent slums.


As I’ve argued elsewhere, the best antidote to the far right is effective and fair border controls, but for as long as this useless, idle government sits on its hands, presiding over an invasion by criminals and vagrants, and while the Home Office allows itself to be chased off by “no nations, no borders” anarchist mobs, we will see a new BNP, and a rise of racist vigilantism. That’s exactly what I don’t want to see.


I’ve spent some time with “far right” activists around Linton on Ouse just to see what they’re about. They don’t live up to their media reputations. Every single one of them has cogently argued their point of view, and engaged in free and frank discussions. That they tend to provoke the plod and harangue legacy media journalists doesn’t do them any favours nor is it productive, but when see just how the media frames these issues, I start to understand why they do it.


The fact is, the legacy media prefers to sanitise the issue but also sanitise the representation of public sentiment. The depth of anger over the Linton asylum camp is glossed over and the unvarnished, uncensored opinions of working class plebs are brushed under the carpet, in collusion with local officialdom. There is the licenced line about “local safety concerns” but it’s always carried alongside obligatory nods to “refugee welfare”. Nothing that might spook the horses. But it’s the “far right” presenting the ugly truth about this issue. The migrants the RNLI escorts ashore are a danger to public safety and they just not refugees. I ain’t buying it.


It is also the case that were it not for the presence of “far right” citizen journalists embarrassing the local media into covering stories, they wouldn’t bother to cover the issue at all, and the warehousing of migrants in hotels and barracks would be done under a shroud of “operational security”. Thanks to the likes of Steve Laws, Active Patriot and Yorkshire Rose, we know more about what is happening and where than we could ever discern from the legacy media. I don’t get any real far right vibes from any of them. Just working class people who don’t mince their words and don’t care what middle class prudes say about them.


In that sense, I don’t really give a toss if they are far right. Look who’s doing the finger pointing. According to the elites of Twitter I’m literally the worst person ever – and deserving of multiple pile-ons. But in the time since my first suspension, one of them has gone into hiding following claims of sexual assault, another insists there is no biological difference between men and women, transvestite fox clubber Jolyon Maugham is pushing puberty blockers on kids and wants to remove parental consent, Frances Coppola claims that women going through the menopause are, in effect, changing sex, Owen Jones is celebrating “chest feeding” as “beautiful”, while a think tanker obfuscates about Pakistani rape gangs and denounces criticism of grooming as “racist”. If that’s what it takes to be one of the “good and decent” set then I’m glad to be known as anything but. But I’m the one who can’t use his own name on Twitter in fear of being immediately banned. That’s Twitter for you.


As with LGBTQ+ perversity (anything to the right of the B is a narcissistic personality disorder or sexual fetish), the pretence economic migrants are refugees is a high status opinion, and it goes and in hand with the woke notion that “whiteness” is inherently evil, and somehow our self-annihilation is the only way to atone for the distant crimes of the British Empire. A sickness has absorbed our elites while our cowardly political class refuses to confront them, allowing them to capture every public institution up to and including the police and the border force. The public institutions we pay for are working against us, as are our politicians. It may reach a point where we need the far right more than we need the police. Our elites don’t care about our safety, they’ve turned their backs on freedom of speech, and the police will kneel before the mob. They’ve created a dangerous void, and something soon will come along and fill it.
