Britain is experiencing civil unrest in response to the recent murders of three young girls at the hands of an individual whose family was allowed to enter Britain from Africa and settle in Wales.
The Establishment response is similar to comparable European states like Ireland or Germany. They are indifferent to the deaths of the girls, but visibly outraged at protests and calls to end immigration.
Vocal rejection of multiculturalism and evidence of its failure in Britain is treated as a hate crime, a subject that cannot be discussed.
This has done nothing to quell discomfort and has done little more than show us Britain’s elites are lost in a bubble that is increasingly divorced from reality.
Mass immigration is deeply unpopular
Immigration has been an issue since the 1950s. Since the 1990s it has featured as one of the key issues in every election, often the top issue for most.
Conversely it has been summarily ignored by the educated classes who run the country. Immigration is here to stay, and Britain must change to accommodate it.
The elite section of society promoting immigration is especially indifferent to those most affected, low wage workers. There is also a strong cultural component beyond the economic arguments, an understanding the drive is to make Britain less white with very vocal attempts to champion non-natives in every area of life.
For many decades the educated classes have viewed notions of patriotism or national loyalty with suspicion. Many fancy themselves as internationalists more in tune with the educated in foreign nations than their working-class compatriots.
Now, after decades of immigration, whole communities have been displaced. Some areas of Britain have no Europeans living there. Some tourists complain parts of London do not look English.
Opposition to immigration is far right thuggery
The enthusiasts for these changes are the ones on TV. We never see or hear from the displaced. They don’t get to deliver press conferences.
Advocates for this process of displacement include people like the current Prime Minister, a longtime champion not just of mass immigration but an active participant for decades via the legal system.
In a past life he worked as a lawyer to secure illegal immigrants rights and privileges they would not extend to us in their own homelands. Sneaking in to Pakistan or Somalia won’t get you a human rights lawyer and a free house, it will get you deported or worse.
Almost all cultures reject mass immigration. Only European nations in Europe and North America have embraced this madness. Almost everyone in a position of authority seems to fully embrace this novel policy despite how deeply unpopular it is.
In Britain, one of them is now the Prime Minister. For globalists he is the ultimate safe pair of hands and has proved his loyalty over decades. His response to the civil unrest triggered by a non-native murdering children was entirely predictable from his past actions.
The middle-class professionals are usually the ones you see on TV, just like the PM. The nice people. The anti-racists. They tend to live in white areas. They ignore the effect of importing millions of people from the third world. They certainly don’t live among them or have any intention of ever doing so.
There is no discussion of the issues people care about. The loss of jobs, community or heritage. All opposition is packaged up as extremism or far right thuggery no matter how reasonable.
Those affected are people with no voice worried about the direction their nation has taken. They see it in their own communities every day as they lose their place in society while well-spoken people on TV call them extremists.
Alas, that is no longer working, and this is what the “riots” actually represent, a failure of narrative.
That in turn means hard times ahead for elites and those compassionate middle-class people who don’t believe in national borders. Their utopian ideas are being tested and they are failing. One obvious sign of failure is the dead and abused native children they refuse to discuss.
Reality always intrudes
The political class in Britain are mimicking Irish elites who recently faced similar discontent. They are avoiding the underlying issues and are instead incensed the British will not accept profound changes to society imposed upon them against their will.
The media class pander to the chattering classes who can punish them financially. They have almost completely sold out to ensure a fat, comfortable layer of society hears what they want to hear about the vibrancy of the New Britons, and nothing at all about the challenges thrown up by importing incompatible people.
When some unpleasant reminder appears of what “foreign” actually means, like the industrial scale of English girls being sexually abused by non-European men, it is written off as a cultural misunderstanding, something the natives have to work hard to understand better. As if adult men being attracted to twelve-year-olds is somehow normal.
Immigration enthusiasts operate at an intentionally distant level where the detail is absent. Multiculturalism is a roaring success because we have black doctors on TV married to attractive blondes. A previous Prime Minister was brown. Diversity is a strength even though the government’s own actions remind us it causes so much conflict they have passed special laws to manage it.
All this is a farce.
But it is becoming a useful farce. We are observing our elites are limited, much more so than we have been led to believe. Their options are equally limited. When children are murdered and their precious narratives are threatened by reality, they panic.
The Prime Minister is an exemplar of the inherent myopia of our utopian thinkers. He is well connected and has made all the right moves to get to the top. And yet once there he is a confusion of bad ideas, fantasy thinking and anti-reality. His repertoire of actions is limited.
He has a blinkered view of life, one that has served him well until now. It is increasingly being revealed as a brittle worldview, based on fictional ideas about ethnic harmony and culture mixing that is visibly incorrect. It doesn’t work and will continue to fail no matter how many police or intelligence officers they commit to their cause.
Their cause is multiculturalism, a concept repeatedly rejected by the overwhelming majority of the British public, including some immigrant groups. There are no polls showing a majority in favour. It is understood as a categorical failure but promoted by the media as natural and desirable despite the obvious hostility of most of the population. Every legitimate concern is characterized as extremism.
Most of the world views the importation of millions of immigrants as national suicide. They have no word for it because it looks like an invasion of foreigners, something most countries understand as dangerous.
And in Britain the bubble is finally bursting. Real life is intruding.
Not the riots, but the incompatibility of peoples. Borders emerged for a reason. The reason was violence.
It is the height of arrogance to believe we can somehow circumvent the wisdom accumulated throughout history. And the price being paid is by the British people who are losing their homeland.
Those behind our utopian schemes are working harder and harder to shore them up. Not just mixing cultures but expensive climate initiatives, radical feminism and fractional reserve banking to name only a few of today’s fads. None of them were ever going to work and now they are obviously failing.
The announcements represent the beginning of the end of bad ideas that were doomed from the start. A sane government would take note and begin a plan to reset Britain starting with listening to concerns about mass immigration.
Instead our ruling elite are digging in, and that will probably mean increased civil disturbance as more and more recognize they have no voice and no say.
Given who we are, who we really are under the political correctness and the good manners, this is absolute insanity on their part. Perhaps just the latest decision in a long line of bad ideas unable to accommodate reality. The distortions within their bubble are strong and they are becoming impossible to hide.
The end is nigh for the believers in Western liberalism.
Well written and interesting. I would add that, in economic terms, the high levels of immigration have also greatly eroded income and in general negotiating power of so called "skilled" workers in white collar professions as well, in some categories there may narrow senses that in absolute value terms have them being even more economically harmed. Also, lately I've stated thinking that when using the word "educated" in some contexts, we should instead use the word "socialized" or the phrase "similarly socialized"...
The government must be checked and balanced, not for our sake, but for theirs. What we refuse to learn is that no -ism, no matter how powerful, will be sufficient to serve the needs of humanity. These -isms are inevitably simplified, consistent band-aids taping over complex and uniquely human concerns.
The inconstancy and flexibility of humanity is a feature, not a bug.
