Please take the time to read the article below which appeared
in The Times yesterday. This is exactly what the BNP has been
saying for years only to be shouted down, vilified and persecuted.
The fact that such an item can appear in a newspaper like
The Times is a graphic example of how the liberal establishment
and belief in multiculturalism is collapsing. The other article
from the BBC online website is most interesting if you substitute
the word "white" for "black".

Britain is
Losing Britain !
by Anthony Browne
Is immigration in Britain out of control? Our
correspondent, an immigrant's son, says it is causing
social tension, cultural clashes and economic strain
A well-known commentator once told me: It is almost
a case of the empire strikes back. But its not
just the former empire, it is pretty much the entire Third
World and Eastern Europe. About a quarter of a million people
are coming to Britain from the Third World each year: a city
the size of Cambridge every six months, an unprecedented and
sustained wave of immigration to one of the worlds most
densely crowded islands, utterly transforming the society
in which we live against the wishes of the majority of the
population, damaging quality of life and social cohesion,
exacerbating the housing crisis and congestion, and with questionable
economic benefits.
I know knee-jerk accusations of racism and xenophobia will
be fired at me by those who make careers out of suppressing
legitimate debate, but I am hardly anti-immigrant or anti-immigration.
I am the son of an immigrant, living with an immigrant, from
such a family of émigrés that I have virtually
no relatives in this country. I have had three serious relationships
with British Indians, to the extent of visiting relatives
in India. Most immigrants including my mother and partner
make a great contribution to society. Immigration,
allowing people to better their lives where they see the best
opportunity, is a great force for good in the world.
The only political
party of which I have been a member is Labour, and the
danger of giving encouragement to the racist
British National Party is a strong reason to stay silent.
But what is happening now is so extreme and so damaging,
and the determination of pro-immigrationists to suppress
debate and smear critics so fearsome, that
silence is no longer an option. |
The unprecedented wave of immigration from the poor world
to Britain is leading to huge and rapidly growing communities
from almost every Third World country. There are a million
Indians, almost 700,000 Pakistanis, 260,000 Bangladeshis,
up to a million Nigerians, over 100,000 Iraqis. And numbers
are increasing rapidly in the past five years, while
the white population grew by 1 per cent, the Bangladeshi community
grew by 30 per cent, the black African population by 37 per
cent and the Pakistani community by 13 per cent.
The number of people allowed to settle permanently in the
UK has more than doubled in the past few years, reaching 125,000
in 2000 almost all from the Third World and Eastern
Europe. The number being given British citizenship doubled
to 100,000 last year, nine out of ten of them from the Third
World.
The route of entry is irrelevant. Whether it is usually-unfounded-and-never-get-deported
asylum, arranged marriages, bringing over parents, grandparents,
children or fiancés, holiday visas that mean never
going home, temporary work visas that inevitably lead to citizenship
five years down the line, or simply a clandestine ride in
the back of a lorry, the effect is the same. Almost all are
certain to stay. Thirteen times as many people emigrate from
the Indian subcontinent to the UK than vice versa, three times
as many from the Caribbean to the UK than vice versa. This
net immigration, the largest yet witnessed in Britain, is
quadrupling the rate of Britains population growth,
taking it to the highest levels since the 1960s.
Dont be fooled by the immigration celebrationists telling
you that this is just history as normal. It isnt. Earlier
waves of immigration, from the Huguenots to the Jews after
the Second World War, to East African Asians in the 1970s,
were one-off events that had an ending. The populations who
came and did well for themselves were genuinely being forced
out of whence they came. We were right to welcome them.
But what is happening now is the result of sustained migration
pressure the likes of which the world has never seen before.
For the first time, the world has huge disparities of wealth,
widespread knowledge in the poor world of how the rich world
lives and how to get there through TV and global telecommunications,
and cheap, quick worldwide transport. It is easier for them
to get here, and far more difficult to make them leave: the
revolution in human rights means that as soon
as anyone gets past passport control they are pretty much
guaranteed to stay. More than 47,000 illegal immigrants were
detected in 2000, but just 6,000 were sent home.
Economics is clearly the ultimate motivation, because it
is from the poor world that all the record net immigration
to the UK is coming. With the rest of the developed world,
Britain has pretty much zero net immigration almost
as many people move from the rest of the developed world to
Britain as vice versa each year. We should not delude ourselves:
it is sustained, one-way, large-scale, economically-driven
mass immigration, with no end in sight.
There is nothing wrong in itself with economic migration,
exercising the right to find a better life after all,
the Europeans have been world champions, colonising North
America, Australasia and parts of South America and southern
Africa. But the European emigration of earlier centuries was
largely morally unacceptable because it was not, to put it
mildly, achieved with the consent of the host populations.
Nor are the
British people giving their consent: survey after survey
shows that the large majority of British people
including around half of ethnic minorities think
there is too much immigration to Britain; but fear of
accusations of racism
and the power of the immigration lobby mean that no mainstream
political party dare reflect public opinion. |
The fact is that life for most people in the Third World
is hard, and life in the West a fantastic dream that families
are prepared to blow a lifetimes savings to make real
in whatever way we allow them.
The Afghan couple raided in a mosque and now being deported
are claiming asylum from a regime that no longer exists, having
travelled through and decided that they didnt want to
stay in three other countries en route to Britain. Life under
the Taleban was unimaginably awful, but now they would rather
just live in Britain than help to rebuild their home country.
A neighbour of mine emigrated from Bangladesh 30 years ago,
bringing over his non-English-speaking wife. His older son
has now just brought over his second non-English- speaking
wife from Bangladesh, having divorced the first. He picked
them up while spending six months of the year on the family
farm in Bangladesh, where they have staff working for them.
They will no doubt in time also bring over husbands for his
two teenage sisters, and then they will have rights to bring
over the spouses parents and grandparents. These are
all individual private acts that in themselves are perfectly
reasonable, but taken by so many individuals they have huge
public consequences. Such powerful chain migration effects
ensure that immigration will continue relentlessly, bringing
whole communities from the Third World to Britain. Whole villages
in Bangladesh have been transplanted to whole streets in some
northern English towns: little Third World colonies in Britain.
The Labour
Government has relentlessly encouraged this by making
it easier for recent immigrants to bring new immigrants
over, and rapidly increasing many forms of supposedly
temporary
immigration, while introducing laws that ensure that
virtually no one has to leave if they dont want
to.
( See UK
Asylum Lies) |
Its abolition of the primary purpose
rule, meaning that it is now OK to have an arranged marriage
for the primary purpose of emigrating to Britain, made it
possible to bring in boyfriends and girlfriends and scrapped
passport exit controls. It actively encouraged universities
to recruit tens of thousands of students from the Third World
and dramatically increased temporary work visas in the full
knowledge that many will stay.
Most notoriously among doctors,
the Government has introduced the Human Rights Act,
giving anyone who gets into Britain, whether legally
or illegally, the
right to free NHS treatment for the rest of their lives
if they have a life-threatening condition for which
they cant get treatment at home.
It
is no coincidence that African immigration has overtaken
gay sex as the biggest cause of HIV in Britain.
Any of the 28 million HIV-positive
Africans, facing inevitable death at home, can obtain
free treatment for the rest of their lives if they can
just get into Britain, and then appeal under the Human
Rights Act.
The
booming industry of legal aid funded immigration lawyers
will do their paperwork for them.

The boom in immigration has been matched
only by the determination of immigration celebrationists to
brainwash the British public into thinking that it is all
for their own good. But almost every reason given to support
this immigration is bogus.
Britain doesnt have a declining population there
are more births than deaths each year; it doesnt have
a declining workforce, largely because womens retirement
age is rising to 65 by 2020; as recognised by every authority
from the Immigration Advisory Service to the United Nations
and the European Commission, immigration is no fix
for an ageing society, because immigrants grow old too; there
are no generalised labour shortages, rather unemployment of
1.5 million; importing communities who are far more likely
to claim all forms of benefit apart from pensions and disability
allowances, and who can have startlingly high unemployment
rates, does not make Britain a richer country. It is, in fact,
importing poverty.
Immigration increases the size of the economy how
could it not? but there is no evidence that it increases
the one measure that matters, gross domestic product per capita.
There are some shortages of skills, but only a tiny proportion
of immigrants is plugging those gaps.
Sure, immigrants contribute more in taxes than they consume
in benefits, but that is only because there are so many highly
paid immigrants such as American bankers and European executives
paying more than their share. Immigrants from the Third World
who are responsible for the entire net immigration
of a quarter of a million a year suffer higher unemployment
and lower earnings than average and almost certainly do not
pay their way.
The only reason for this net current immigration is not that
Britain needs immigrants, but that immigrants want Britain.
It is not even particularly good for the countries they come
from. Stealing the most energetic, entrepreneurial or educated
from the Third World is a very inefficient development policy.
The one thing it does do is change the face of Britain, rapidly.
One child in eight is now from an ethnic minority, rising
to one in three in London. So-called ethnic minorities
together form a majority in boroughs such as Brent and Newham,
and in whole neighbourhoods of cities in the North you can
wander around for hours without seeing a white face, one monoculture
having replaced another. Cities such as Coventry, Leicester
and London are vying to see which can become the first white-minority
city.
The London magazine Time Out recently
interviewed a Turkish immigrant who said that the English
were now the foreigners in Stoke Newington. This, of course,
was reported as a cause of celebration: we must celebrate
diversity. We have to celebrate it, even though for white
British people celebrating diversity basically means saying
sorry. We have to celebrate diversity, because otherwise
it might rise up and kill us: Northern Ireland, former
Yugoslavia, Israel, Rwanda, Gujarat, northern Nigeria
have all recently suffered mass deaths as a result of
diversity. |
The British paper Muslim News compared Bradford with Belfast,
with deeply entrenched divisions ripping a community apart
and creating wounds that may be becoming impossible to heal.
In Bradford, as in Belfast, the communities live apart, work
apart, socialise apart and occasionally riot. Muslim peers
advise that disillusioned British Muslim youths are in danger
of being recruited to extremist organisations, and the secret
services think that around 3,000 may have trained with al-Qaeda.
There are roughly two million Muslims in Britain, most of
them fine people, but mass immigration is increasing the numbers
rapidly before we have learnt how to ensure that their children
feel part of wider society and reach their full potential.
Similarly, we have record levels of immigration from Africa,
even though there is a widespread problem of young black men
becoming increasingly alienated and criminalised. It is an
uncomfortable fact that we have to face up to: mass immigration
without integration leads to social fragmentation.
Of course, it is all culturally
enriching those restaurants! but surveys
tell us that most Britons do not want to be culturally
enriched. It is something they have in common with most
peoples. I
dare the immigration celebrationists to order the Nigerians
to accept millions of Arabs, Whites, Indians and Chinese
to enrich their culture, or the Indians to accept millions
of Chinese, Africans, Arabs and Whites to enrich theirs. |
It is certainly changing Britain. A Middle Eastern immigrant,
who is now passionately British, told me: This is not
the country I came to in 1958. Britain is losing Britain in
a fit of absent-mindedness. It is utter madness what is going
on, and even many immigrants feel this. A Lebanese family
friend who lives in Nigeria says she cannot believe that Britain
is just letting itself go.
A hard-Left friend says in frustration: If we
went to their country and did what they are doing here,
it would be totally unacceptable.
But we are too polite to say anything about it, too
worried about being called racist,
just too embarrassed about being British or English
or whatever it is, just wallowing too much in post-colonial
white guilt.
Dear Mr Brown,
Your honesty is very refreshing indeed.
But I disagree with your conclusion
that it is "Post Colonial White Guilt"
that keeps people silent about what is plain for
all to see.
It is FEAR
that keeps the British people silent ! Look at
what has happened to me. People are afraid that
the same sort of thing may happen to them. And
it DOES happen
to other people as you are very well aware.

National
Party

If there are more people wanting to live in Britain than
we can feasibly accept, then Britain has to tell people they
cannot move here. We have to accept that people just do not
have the right to live where they want in the world, and that
the people of Britain have a right to decide who can move
here. Wanting open borders is a noble aim, but not while there
are such global imbalances in wealth that it causes destabilising
population flows.
Obviously we should do more to help Third World countries
to become places where people want to live rather than leave;
it is unacceptable that we sit by and watch the entirely preventable
Aids holocaust consume almost an entire continent. But the
solution is to treat people where they live, rather than the
limited number who find their way to Britain. The solution
is to help Third World economies to become more vibrant rather
than to steal their most energetic and entrepreneurial people.
And the irony is that this wave of immigration pressure,
which will forever change the face of Britain, will itself
come to an end. As the Third World becomes richer as
is happening in India and China the incentive to move
here will erode. Puerto Ricans used to move to America, until
a slight rise in wealth in Puerto Rico stemmed the flow. But
by the time that the Third World no longer wants to move to
Britain, Britain will be a foreign land.
