Tony Blair’s Britain

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and “Two-thirds of British residents fear violence as migrant tensions rise”;

A quarter of those questioned agreed that, because of immigration, “my area doesn’t feel like Britain”.
This was up from 12 per cent in 2005. Some 58 per cent said parts of Britain feel like a foreign country.
During the past three years, between 800,000 and one million Eastern Europeans have arrived in the UK to work.

  1. One comment at the Daily Mail was “Laughable that Minister Liam Byrne has been ‘saying for two years that immigration is top of the list of voters’ concerns’. Is that so? Well, the voters have been saying it for twenty two years. You’ve only just caught on. Pity you’re too damn late.”
    Canada take note: “Pity you’re too damn late.”

  2. “Eastern Europeans”. That says it all; not even the Daily Mail has the balls to spell out which culture is overtaking Britain even though it’s the proverbial elephant in the room.
    Unless Britain tackles its Muslim immigration problem, Britain will fall to Islam within fifty years, probably without a single shot being fired.

  3. Muslim teaching assistant, Aishah Azmi said that her area doesn’t feel like Britain nor did it feel like a foreign country.

  4. They have linked this story to the anniversary of the Enoch Powell “Rivers of blood” speech. Since he made the speech no one has dared mention immigration without being accused of racism. In my view Powell has been proved correct if somewhat premature. It is hard to underestimate the damage that ZaNuLabour have inflicted on Britain these past ten years with the open borders immigration policy.
    East Europeans (mostly Poles) are getting the blame but actually as pointed out above the real elephant in the room is the muslim influx from Pakistan and Bangladesh, not to mention the tens of thousands of bogus asylum seekers from Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan etc. There are problems with some East Europeans but these tend to be Albanian gangsters (again followers of the “religion of peace”) and Roma people from Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. If you have a welfare system that pays people hundreds of pounds a month to be indolent with no strings attached it is hardly surprising that it attracts undesirables from Europe. Mark my words this will end in tears.

  5. It is a system focused on
    1)an immigration policy allowing entire extended families to come to the country rather than people with educated skills,
    2)plus a welfare system that pays people from third world countries to be non-contributers to the economy and
    3)the system of multiculturalism that pays them to remain unintegrated, uninvolved in the new country and clinging to their old, outdated modes of belief and behaviour.
    We have the same system in Canada.

  6. Britain is a boiling couldron of social balkanization.
    The government knows it too. Their latest security directives are almost entirely focused at crowd control and putting down what they term “flash mobs” of angered citizens agitated by cultural frictions, shortages of food, goods and energy, and the need for the police to become more paramilitary in response.
    The UK is a social basket case and Fabian socialism is the root cause.

  7. Immigration policies that have as their prime objective importation of votes rather than importation of wealth-creators will inevitably result in this kind of dysfunctional mosaic.
    Anyone who runs a successful business knows that difficult decisions have to be made. Pragmatic immigration policies fall into this category, if you think of the country as a business.
    If you don’t think of the country as a business, then we end up with the absurdity of everyone being entitled to have a fire in the wood stoves of their retirement homes, with nobody to chop the wood. But heh, global warming will solve that anyway.

  8. A story in one of the U.K. newspapers today tells the story of Down’s Syndrome boy charged with being racist after a spat with an Asian girl in the yard of a special school. The girl’s parents laid the complaint and the parents of the boy had to go through hell for seven months.
    As more and more of these stories are told, bitterness and resentment are sure to follow and no one can have a solution for this kind of insanity. It reminds me how often as a last resort we say over a seriously ill loved one: “The only thing we can do is pray.” Now is that time for the once upon a time Great Britain.
    My English friend said in an email today:
    “…the country is in rapid decline. Sadly, I fear it is too far gone to ever recover.”
    It’s too late for a Winston or a Maggie. They need a Joshua.

  9. A beautiful fairy appeared one day to a destitute refugee claimant outside the Toronto immigration offices.
    “My good man,” the fairy said, “I’ve been told to grant you three wishes, since you just arrived in Canada with your wife and three children.”
    The man told the fairy. “Well, where I come from we don’t have good teeth, so I want new teeth, maybe a lot of gold in them.”
    The fairy looked at the man’s almost toothless grin and — PING! — he had a brand new shining set of gold teeth in his mouth!
    “What else?” asked the fairy, “two more to go.”
    The refugee claimant now got bolder. “I need a big house with a three car garage in Oakville with eight bedrooms for my family and the rest of my refugee relatives who still live in my country. I want to bring them all over here.”
    PING!
    In the distance there could be seen a beautiful mansion with a three car garage, a long driveway, a walkout patio with a BBQ in an upscale neighbourhood.
    “One more wish”, said the fairy, waving her wand.
    “Yes, one more wish. I want to be like a Canadian. With Canadian clothes instead of manjams, and a baseball cap instead of this turban. And I want to have white skin like Canadians.”
    PING!
    The man was transformed, wearing worn out jeans, a Blue Jays T-shirt and a Maple Leaf baseball cap. He had his bad teeth back and the mansion had disappeared from the horizon.
    “What happened to my new teeth?” he wailed. “Where is my new house?”
    THIS IS GOOD …….
    The fairy said “Tough luck, Jack. Now that you are a Canadian, you have to fend for yourself.” And she disappeared!

  10. Canada too accommodating to minorities, poll says
    OTTAWA (AFP) – Most Canadians believe their country is too accommodating when it comes to the country’s “visible minorities,” according to a survey released Thursday.
    The Strategic Counsel poll for The Globe and Mail and CTV, found that a hefty 61 percent of those asked thought Canada does too much for members of the visible or non-white minorities.

  11. Matt, I share that thought. I’ll add at this point I think this country is far too accommodating of white trash limpers too.
    It AIN’T A RACE THING. Its a WELFARE thing. You give away free money, layabouts will take it.
    Lefties please repeat after me: DUH.

  12. Two things:
    The BNP will do well next election.
    This will be at the expense of the unworthy tories which will lead to the re-election of Labour.
    To add a third:
    There will be blood.

  13. The UK experience posted by Gandalf at Up Pompeii
    “We have gained a large Muslim fifth column that is active and working towards creating an Islamic state, we have gained a society that is now riddled with the fear of crime, we have gained a society where the nationals of this country are open to abuse and derision if we dare to make any comments about our guests that do not reflect a “positive” image, we have gained alien places of worship supplanting our own.”
    “We have seen our ideals and principles ridiculed and derided and we have seen bloody and violent attacks upon our population.”
    “Multi culturalism is a wonderful thing is it not”

  14. Well I guess I am sort of out of step.
    During the war, some individuals threw rocks at our windows and even punched my sisters lights out because we had a german ancestry. Then after the war we were called DP’s So I have a small hint of what it’s like to be singled out.
    I’m a believer that it doesn’t matter what colour or race a person is.
    What I do find unacceptable is the Trudeau version of “one doesn’t have to accept Canada’s culture”. We need to have a strong open discussion about the cultural norms and standards of behaviour in Canada. What should the standards for everyone be and how do we the citizens of Canada nd not the HRC’s determine them.
    We also need to use the “not withstanding clause”
    to end the use of our systems, qausi-judicial and judicial to keep undesirable people out of Canada.
    While I know what it feels like to be treated badly because of ones race, I don’t accept tearing
    our country to pieces to please some and not all Canadians is somehow a wonderful experiment.
    Let us not follow England over the cliff like lemmings

  16. Here’s the problem plaguing most of the EU, people don’t have decent election choices. The parties are all left-of-center no matter what name they give themselves. Britain’s present Tories aren’t Thatcher fiscal/social conservatives. They are only a lesser degree of spinelessness than Labour.
    No one has the guts to do the right thing in Europe. Look at the time and opportunity that Sarkozy, another lame lesser degree socialist, has piddled away. Ditto Germany.
    I wish the Brits well. Any article of substance in the Daily Mail and other papers permitting feedback anymore has a groundswell of angry people. They need to find another Churchill, and soon.
    I’ll take our US election system – winner take all for a defined period – anyday over the inefficient parlimentary/coaliton gov’t type.

  17. If I were British, I wouldn’t be too worried of the poles or romanians and all their cultural differences. These are perogy people!
    But those idiots that shoot people from embassies? yeah I like to think I’d fire back at them…
    (yes that goes back a bit, but it isn’t like this fear is a NEW development)
    Will this be the summer that car-b-ques make the english channel jump? Will the english emulate their frank cousins?

  18. “It aint’ the Eastern Europeans that Brits are afraid of!”
    *Yawn*
    “”Eastern Europeans”. That says it all; not even the Daily Mail has the balls to spell out which culture is overtaking Britain even though it’s the proverbial elephant in the room.”
    I think I am beginning to understand. Facts are bad if they dont conform with your views.
    Here, Sir Andrew Parkes, the chief of your British Anti-Immigration brethren and head of the anti-Immigration group MigrationWatchUK has these uncomfortable stats.
    “Much of the recent debate has concerned immigration from Eastern Europe. From 1st May 2004 when eight East European countries joined the EU 510,000 applicants have registered under the Workers Registration Scheme, 63% from Poland. (Workers from Eastern Europe can only claim full welfare benefits after they have worked here for 12 months.) However, the self employed are not required to register. A Home Office Minister (Mr Mc Nulty) has estimated the total over two years at 600,000. It is not known how many have since returned home. About half of those registered say that their employment is temporary. If they have all returned, net immigration from Eastern Europe would be about 150,000 a year (compared to the government’s prediction of a maximum of 13,000).”
    “Since he made the speech no one has dared mention immigration without being accused of racism.”
    Maggie did. She virtually banned immigration. Didnt work out so well though.
    “Unless Britain tackles its Muslim immigration problem, Britain will fall to Islam within fifty years, probably without a single shot being fired.”
    Damn right. A group that currently constitutes 2.8% of Britains population will be the majority in 50 years. Mathematical genius!
    “The BNP will do well next election.”
    Yes. And America will adopt universal healthcare.
    “There will be blood.”
    Nothing would please you more, huh. Especially if the blood comes from a certain group…
    “Any article of substance in the Daily Mail ”
    Finally. Somebody who takes the Daily Mail seriously. Dont find many of those…
    “The fascists.”
    I want to believe you are talking about the BNP but I suspect most people here would think of them as run-of-the-mill conservatives.

  19. The Phantom
    It AIN’T A RACE THING. Its a WELFARE thing. You give away free money, layabouts will take it.
    There in lies the problem. I might add it extends also to Corporations to the citizans detrement as well.
    The whole immigration department should be fired. & new non partisan folks put in place so we don’t get boatloads of famiies imposing their culture of hate on us. Instead of people who truly want to have freedom with a new life.

  20. Penny says..
    Here’s the problem plaguing most of the EU, people don’t have decent election choices. The parties are all left-of-center no matter what name they give themselves.
    Just like in B.C. with the Libs and NDP
    RNK

  21. During the past three years, between 800,000 and one million Eastern Europeans have arrived in the UK to work.
    On this point I may differ a lot from others. I think the more who come from these environs, the better,
    maybe Britain’s salvation from the Sharia Law from the “Religion of Peace“..
    You can stop laughing now. Think about this though. Culturally their Western for the most part. Most have lived under communist dictatorship. Most fought against their own oppressors & won. Who would know these totalitarian cons better than them. Who would fight harder against anti-Democratic traditions, since they where only freed within a generation from the jackboot.
    As well they have not been secularized into sheepdog herding by a voracious deluded socialist bureaucracy
    Sure you will have deadbeats. Lord knows we have enough of our own. The majority will be productive. The trick will be attracting well talented people. England is suffering a brain drain that made the Canadian one under the Liberals look like a trickle. Britain’s is a flood.
    I see this as a plus for the British isles, if not a
    bulwark against islamofacism.

  22. I’m with Revnant on this.
    A million Poles at this point are worth more than a million Brits in the fight against Islam and the leftofascists. A fight against those who would destroy Western tradition, against those who would destroy the traditional family.
    But I don’t see England getting out of this mess. Not possible. At some point they will be faced with a choice between open war in the streets and caving to the third world hordes, and then they will cave. Their best and brightest are leaving and they have two generations of fully indoctrinated BBC-spam fed, touchy-feely-multi-culti teaching from birth into University. Their academic institutions have been purchased by Saudi money. There is no place from which a revolt can come except the BNP, who are a bunch of violent racist white supremacist thugs.
    If the BNP is your only hope, then there is no hope.
    I can only hope that England will at least serve as an abject lesson to the rest of the Western world about the folly of importing Islam into a nation so that there is some hope of averting the same disaster here.

  23. I’ve always preferred the smooshy ones myself, as opposed to the water-filled balloon type (it’s all about density).
    What’s with the pants thing? Can’t afford a belt?
    [Of course I say this being someone who is somewhere between wearing his belted pants shortly south of his nipples and has yet to admit to the need for suspenders]

  24. The Brits are in the midst of an invasion by a culture and political dogma dedicated to their destruction. Their own State has prepared the way be stripping its subjects (not “citizens”)of their right to self defense. Their own State is in the process of severing their last pretense of democratic recourse, once the Lisbon Treaty is ratified.
    I would think at least some would be conversing with their former IRA enemies across the sea to learn how to locate, infiltrate and stockpile weapons against the inevitable, wouldn’t you. Let the British lion roar.
