Issues to do with globalisation

Immigration

 

 

 

 

 

 

The recent furore over Gary Lineker’s comments about Conservative government migrant policy on the small boats has exposed clearly the hard left mentality that dominates political discourse in the UK. All the usual suspects have come out of the woodwork against the prospective policies of Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman: the Labour party, celebrities like Lineker, charities, open borders activists and of course the United Nations and so on.

 

At the risk of annoying all those who have already followed this story, Lineker’s contribution to the debate is not really a free speech issue. He is free to say what he likes as an independent person. However, as a very high profile BBC personality he should be aware of impartiality guidelines in view of the effect his words have on BBC viewers and people generally and realise that his take on government migration policy was outrageous considering the comparison with Germany in the Thirties.

 

The government has an enormous fight on its hands now as it finds itself in an epic battle between open borders supporters and those who believe in the nation state and protection of borders. It was once said that liberals tear down fences that already exist whilst conservatives try and conserve fences as they are there for a reason, and this is reflected by the migration issue.

 

Back in the day, when I was growing up in the UK, it was just taken as given that the world was composed of 195 odd countries which all had their own culture and history, and that you needed a passport or visa to cross a border from one country to another. Otherwise you were transgressing a basic, fundamental boundary that was criminal to sever. Most if not all people would have adhered to that outlook.

 

The world is much changed, and now legal and illegal immigration is running at historic and unprecedented levels. There are those that say it’s too late, the demography is irreversible, but you don’t keep digging if you’re in a hole. Demography is literally everything and we must have a discussion about nationhood, patriotism, history, heritage and what sort of future we want. A fundamental difference has to be acknowledged at the basis of any discussion, that there are those that believe in open borders and others, probably the majority, who believe in borders.

 

Those arguing for proper border controls must first of all be utterly confident in their position and have an unassailable arsenal of arguments to support their view, and they must be fearless in their stance, because the nature of the battle is that they are facing a very powerful bullying and intimidating spirit that shamefully resorts to name calling and cries of ‘bigot’ or ‘racist’ to get its way. A calm reasoned approach may not be popular against such opposition but it will chime strongly with the vast majority of thinking people.

 

Culture, history and nationhood are important because they run deep in our consciousness of who we are, and represent a very strong part of our identity. When we say we are British there are deep connections with a long island history, much of which has been positive and has benefited the world, with historic institutions such as the monarchy and Parliament, the judiciary, the army, universities, the country itself which is full of beauty, customs and mores which are seen as uniquely British, and so on. Although some of these institutions have lost some credibility for one reason or another, people are proud of the things these institutions represent, and you cannot just sweep them under the carpet.

 

Religion also historically plays an important role, although it is less understood by the intellectual and governing classes, Christianity has left its mark both on the physical nature of the landscape with its network of cathedrals, churches and chapels but also on the character of the people. Although the majority would not claim to be Christian, the teachings and commands of the Bible have left their mark on generations of inhabitants, and influence the temperament and character of the people today even if they are not specifically followers of Christ. Waves of immigration have brought other religions to these shores, and many of their adherents have assimilated admirably into our culture, such as the Jews, Sikhs and Hindus, but there have been and are strains on the body politic, and we have seen this particularly with Islam. Political Islam is a very strong strain of Islam which does not fit well with UK history and culture, and this must be recognised with immigration policymakers. There have been too many incidents in the last two decades of fundamental clashes. As Norman Tebbitt said, you cannot have two dominant cultures, Christianity and Islam.

 

This leads to another point. Militant Islam thinks strategically, British governments don’t. It is the price of having a democracy that governments don’t think much beyond the five year election cycle. British governments need to think more strategically about demography, culture and nationhood and how exactly it represents the average patriotic voter making up the ‘somewheres’ in the country as opposed to the ‘anywheres.’ We need statesmen who can see at least fifty years ahead.

 

Continuing to allow huge numbers of legal, and illegal immigrants from alien cultures will simply continue the present trajectory of bigger and bigger percentages of the population being foreign born and smaller percentages being indigenous Brits or indeed settled immigrants who have been happy to make Britain their home. Thus any existing historical culture and traditions will come under increasing strain especially with the discrimination and equality strands so strong in western culture.

 

If governments genuinely want to preserve their nation and culture they have to think of policies which encourage marriage, family and having children, as you only perpetuate your culture through producing the next generation. The former Chief Rabbi maybe made a salient point here when he said that Europeans are no longer prepared to make the sacrifices necessary to raise a family. This will involve ‘discrimination,’ but making judgements for the welfare of society is nothing less than eminently sensible. This might involve tax breaks, tax allowances e.g. interchangeable allowances between couples with children, subsidies or vouchers to encourage father and motherhood.

 

The fundamental problem with the open borders apologists is a failure to understand the nuances and discernment needed to have successful border protection. Protecting your own borders is a completely separate issue from racism and is a viewpoint that understands the argument that all human beings are of equal value and are entitled to be treated accordingly with dignity and respect, but nevertheless we all carry the values, lifestyle, religion and culture of the nation in which were born. Because these issues are so diverse and different across the world there will be significant conflict between them as has always been the case, and allowing huge numbers from alien cultures into your nation will inevitably lead to problems.

 

The UK is a tiny state physically. I have just looked at the World Population Review for 2023 and the UK is the one of the most densely populated relatively large advanced economies in the world after South Korea, India and Japan, in other words it is the most densely populated significant advanced western nation period, with 725 people/square mile, over twice the density of France with 306 people per square mile. Germany is the next most densely populated big western country with 617/square mile. If you drill down deeper, the population density of England as opposed to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is even greater. This alone should make policy makers think very carefully about openness to high numbers of immigrants because of the strain on infrastructure that mass immigration inevitably will bring. It’s such an obvious point that it is difficult to take seriously any arguments of mass immigration activists. There is limited road space, railway infrastructure, hospital capacity, housing space, water resources, etc. and unless you accordingly increase such infrastructure continuing mass immigration is simply foolish. I myself have faced this problem as a local Councillor attending a Southern Water workshop where forecasts of water shortages in the future were shared with delegates.

 

If you believe in the validity of the nation state you must always put your own people first, every time. In other words their welfare is more important than looking after any immigrant. Obviously there are genuine refugees and asylum seekers fleeing from catastrophic circumstances and the UK has a responsibility to help such people, but the British government must ensure the safety and security of its own people as priority.

 

Whatever the pros and cons of immigration it is time for the UK to pause and take stock of the implications of its immigration policy over the last forty years. It seems that arguments for mass immigration have centred around the needs of the economy, the need to keep wages low, the need to fill many low skilled jobs that many British people do not want to do, but surely we should be aiming to get our own people back into work before thinking about importing a workforce, and also we should be having a discussion about nationhood, culture and cohesion at this important time in our history.

Letter sent to BBC in middle of Covid

7.2.21

Dear Sir/Madam

I write with regard to the Covid crisis. Please understand that I am not denying that Covid exists nor the tragic circumstances for many families who have lost loved ones. Nor am I denying the sensitive coverage by the BBC of many who have suffered either directly or indirectly in this crisis. However I do believe the presponse of the authorities and media has been grossly disproportionate.

It is evident to me that the BBC is far too complicit in pushing the narrative that lockdowns are the only way of dealing with the pandemic, followed by the vaccination roll out of course, and in effect you have been operating as the propaganda arm of the government for the last ten months. I have listened to you consistently and there has been no deviation from the official line. I would have thought it more serving of the general public for the main news channel in the country to have a far more circumspect approach, wondering at the very least if there might be a better way of dealing with Covid, and yet there appears to be a frightening level of group think which is unwilling to debate or air sufficiently any other viewpoint.

The government could be forgiven at the beginning of the pandemic for taking a full lockdown approach given the fact that we had not experienced a serious plague for 100 years and what was happening across the world in countries like Italy and the US. However it was evident pretty quickly that the vast majority of deaths were of those over 65 with comorbidities. We had the opportunity then to reevaluate the lockdown policy and debate whether there was a better way. It surely would have been a far more common sense approach to have concentrated on protecting the vulnerable and get the rest of society back to normal as quickly as possible. Instead despite some easing of restrictions in the summer the government imposed mask wearing and doubled down on the lockdown approach with the tier system and further lockdowns in the autumn and into 2021. The BBC just went along with this as if it was the undisputedly correct approach.

It is obvious to anyone with an ounce of discernment that shutting down society to deal with Covid is an incredibly blunt and brutal instrument whose negative effects are incalculable – separating people from one another, splitting families, isolating an enormous number of single households in this country, putting on hold treatment for other health issues, excess deaths from those who had heart, cancer or other issues that were never dealt with, destroyed businesses and consequently broken lives, disrupted education for millions of children (I am a teacher and strongly oppose the union policy of keeping children put of school). The list goes on. Despite any government intentions it could be argued that this was an anti-human and some would say even wicked thing to do in the name of a public health crisis.

This is especially galling in view of the fact that although hospitals have been under pressure the numbers of deaths in historical terms have not been that great, although each death is obviously awful for many families. But be honest, how many deaths have been of fit and healthy people who are not overweight and do not have secondary conditions? Very few. This is where the media have blown the crisis out of all proportion and together with government have projected an unhealthy level of fear over society which in turn has led to an unhealthy level of control which we are now struggling to get out of. This would be considered by many people to be unforgivable.

In the late summer of 2020 an opportunity was given through the Great Barrington Declaration which was supported by over 50000 medical practitioners to change course by concentrating on protecting the vulnerable and releasing the rest of society to get back to normal, a perfectly common sense approach which would have avoided the continuing collateral damage to the economy and society. But it was cast aside by the powers that be who continued with arguably their ruinous lockdown approach. Can you please explain to me why we as a society cannot concentrate on protecting the vulnerable if we can produce reams of directives to regulate every other possible area of society? The proposal could have received at least considerably more debate.

On top of this are the problems with the data. The BBC feeds us with a daily figure of the number of deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid test. Yet neither you nor the government nor anyone else, even medical experts can tell us how many of these people actually died of Covid and how many with Covid. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to surmise that the majority of those people died mainly of other causes given that they were old, such as heart problems, cancer, pneumonia, kidney failure, so on and so forth, and Covid was simply another condition whose extra weight and burden especially to those of great age overcame the patient. In addition is the problem of the high rate of testing with false positives with the popular Covid PCR test, which muddies the waters even further.

Given that what we know about the virus most people under 65 are under little threat from the virus, we then have the issue of social distancing. This whole idea of people being asymptomatic is fraught with difficulty. The idea that we have to socially distance because we might or might not have a virus is a rather tenuous basis for a major public policy. Even if someone had the virus what sort of virus load would they carry especially if they were asymptomatic, and honestly how much threat would they really be to most people they come into contact with, bearing in mind that they might be much more careful with older relatives? The human body is an incredible and wonderful creation and has the ability to develop immunity to viruses through natural means. Surely allowing healthy and younger people to mix normally could go some way to building up a natural immunity to this virus.

There are also disturbing conflicts of interest in this whole affair. We are told for instance that Professor Patrick Vallance has a shareholding of £600000 in GSK which was contracted to develop vaccines. The BMJ put out an article in December concerning the interests of doctors, scientists and academics advising the government on how to manage the pandemic. The article made the point that Downing St has shown little concern that advisors to the coronavirus vaccine task force have financial interests in pharmaceutical companies receiving government contracts. We should be mindful that ‘the love of money is the root of all evil’ and that these issues are worth questioning. Chris Whitty is on the Interim Board of CEPI (coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations) which evidently unites players in biotechnology, Big Pharma and health charities, government agencies, etc to push global immunisation which fits in nicely with a lockdown strategy. These issues are worth querying by both governments and journalists?

Historically my understanding is that national lockdowns have never been used before as a tool of public policy. I am sure that public health policy up to recently would never have entertained such an extreme method to deal with a virus, especially given that we have had very serious flu outbreaks within our lifetime and also potential scares with new viruses which never caused many deaths and certainly didn’t move the authorities to lock down a whole society, and especially as this virus is little threat to anyone apart from the old. The way the government is micromanaging people’s lives is serious government overreach into areas it should have nothing to do with, especially as they are illegitimately taking over the management of risk from private individuals and families into the realms of the State, again something unprecedented in human history. The only type of governmental system that would take such drastic action would be an extreme communist or socialist regime, as we saw with China leading the way.

We now have an impressive rollout of the vaccination programme and the medical and scientific community must be congratulated for all their superb work in producing a way out of the grip of this situation. For many people this has been the holy grail. However we have again been fed a narrative that this is the only realistic way out with an underplaying of alternatives. What about an emphasis on development of other treatments that could be another pathway for people, as has happened with HIV for which there is no vaccine but nevertheless the development of amazing new treatments?

There is also evidence that this is a man made virus which adds another level of intrigue to the plot. It is not beyond the realms of imagination that there is another agenda at work in all this and that unscrupulous people would like to use this virus to bring down nations for their own very suspect purposes. It is little wonder that there are so many doubters over this whole affair as both the government and media have left themselves with too many own goals. People are discerning, you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. It is no surprise that people turn to conspiracy theories or ideas that players behind the scenes are engineering this crisis for their own ends, whether for love of money, desire for global government or whatever. You cannot blame people for asking hard questions.

I would like to see a far more open debate in the mainstream media over these issues and a much more critical approach to the efficacy and suitability of lockdown, given that this crisis could go on somewhat longer than people would hope. This would give you more credibility with many who question what is going on at the moment and undermine any accusations that it is in your interests to push this agenda.

I would suggest respectfully that we are being ‘played’ in this Covid crisis by a very powerful spirit of manipulation and control, and both the government and mainstream media are party to this and to a degree are under that spirit. It would be in the interests of everybody to have a far more open debate about the whole issue which would go some way to allay the fears and questions of many.

CS Lewis, one of our greatest thinkers said something very prescient many years ago: ‘Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.’

I humbly suggest that you have to govern for the welfare of 65m people and that we have lost sight of that in this crisis, allowing coronavirus to rule us rather than keeping it in a more realistic perspective.

Thank you for reading this letter, and I look forward to more balance in the lockdown debate,

Yours faithfully

Covid 19 counterfeit religion

If any religion has shaped Britain it is Christianity which has gone deep into the warp and woof of our culture and substantially affected it in profound ways, to the extent that many of us are living off the fat of the land, the rump of Christian culture that is our heritage passed down from generation to generation. However that culture is now seriously compromised and so poses the question does this leave Britain weak when faced with serious challenges such as that which faced our grandfathers in the Second World War.

Covid 19 has proved almost a step too far for our survival as a nation and things were very much in the balance with a fully vaccinated population, vaccine passports and even digital ID in the pipeline at one point. We have and are, like many other countries, in danger of moving swiftly into a surveillance society the end game of which is what we see in communist China with its social credit scores and coercion and control of each individual. The common law, primacy of Parliament, independent judiciary, freedom of worship and association, freedom of speech and all things associated with being British are fast disappearing and will be a thing of the past unless there is a massive backlash.

It is interesting given our Christian heritage to draw some parallels between true Christianity and Covid 19, which became almost like a substitute religion for many people. The foundational difference is that the religion of Covid is based on fear whereas true Christianity is based on faith, hope and love. The fear of course Is fear of death which was ramped up shamelessly by a ruthless government and mass media machine which relentlessly pushed a narrative of the dangers of Covid out of all proportion to the reality. Of course fear of death is a reality, but those with a Christian faith know that death is not the end and that this life is just a precursor for eternal life in heaven forever with their Saviour. Many have no faith apart from the insecure trappings of this life, reliance on personal abilities, intelligence, money, power and material success, so are easy prey to that which threatens their security.

Covid 19 is a Pharisaical religion, based on rules and regulations, crossing every t and dotting every i. This was the only way to achieve freedom from Covid with the eternal mask wearing, track and trace apps, plastic screens, signage and arrows on floors. This was the way of the Pharisees in the New Testament who believed the only way to heaven was a religion of works, adhering to thousands of petty rules which produces a never ending feeling of falling short if one does not adhere to the Covid code, which like the Ten Commandments must be obeyed at all times. Contrast this with real Christianity, a religion of grace, mercy and forgiveness which offers pardon to the most recalcitrant sinner and respects free will. Anyone can choose to follow or reject the message, you still keep your personal liberty.

Any true religion is based on solid rock and its adherents are secure in who they are and what they believe. Covid 19 was an insecure religion and gave itself away by refusing to countenance any other interpretation of how to deal with a virus. We must have lockdowns, everyone has to be vaccinated, we have to limit human interaction to the extent that family members are cut off from one another, weddings and funerals are curtailed and the hard face of the law governs what we can and cannot do. Anyone who thought outside the box was a heretic, even if they were seasoned professionals and experts in their field, and had to be shut down. There is another way of doing things they cried, you are disregarding the huge collateral damage of lockdowns, Covid is of little threat to healthy people, emphasise the importance of a healthy lifestyle, diet and exercise, with lots of sun and vitamin D, let the body build up natural immunity, there are other remedies and medications for Covid apart from vaccinations. But the MSM, the social media giants and government shut down or ignored such voices, shamefully, demonstrating their huge insecurity over what they were doing or supporting. That alone should have been an alarm bell to everyone.

Meanwhile real Christianity emphasises the importance of free will and respect for an individual’s right to make their own decisions on whether they follow the narrow way that leads to salvation or the broad way that means doing your own thing and not submitting to any divine will. It is based on a secure foundation of theology and historical witness, and has weathered the storms of criticism and persecution without having to dominate the narrative and shutting down opposing opinions. Sure, twisted interpretations of Christianity have been use to dominate and control societies in the past, but true Christianity respects the dignity of the individual and its enormous value before God such that you cannot force the Christian worldview on anyone

Covid 19 had its prophets of course, found amongst its so called SAGE experts, spokespersons like Whitty and Vallance and lockdown fanatics like Professor Ferguson. Their platform was the BBC and other mainstream media from which they issued their edicts from on high and mathematical models. They presented their vision, the latest graphs with their doom laden predictions, emphasising how many people could go to hospital or die if we didn’t have another lockdown. They came with their Ten Commandments, to stay at home, not socialise, meet only in a bubble, only visit essential shops, get vaccinated, get a booster, get the flu jab.

Of course counterfeit religions have their rituals and sacraments, and perhaps the most ghastly and soul destroying was the lockdown, a policy which had not had any clear cost benefit analysis on its effects on society but was churned out as the panacea to the Covid problem. But if ever a religion could be accused of taking a leap of faith without any sold evidence that it worked it was in relation to the disastrous policy of lockdown. And the Covid 19 adherents kept coming back to the same policy despite evidence that it didn’t work and the slightly more obvious point that you don’t quarantine healthy people, which is exactly what they did!

The Covid crisis has exposed the leftist stance for what it is. In the UK Boris Johnson”s conservative government has hardly acted in a conservative way in dealing with the pandemic, imposing lockdowns and restrictions on an unprecedented scale. It might be argued that Johnson’s libertarian instincts prevented England from experiencing some of the worst excesses pursued by some governments around the world. Yet behind Johnson were the Labour Party who supported these measures all the way and it is a small mercy that they were not in power as they would have been even more restrictive and coercive in their policies. It was only with the help of the Labour Party that Johnson was able to push through vaccinating NHS workers and vaccine passports for big events in the Commons. The Labour Party have been as useful as a chocolate teapot in critiquing lockdown and all the other big state interventions.

Again you saw leftist policy at play in Europe, in Austria where they mandated vaccinations for everyone, Germany where they considered the same, Italy where you were not able to function in society unless you had a Green pass, and France where Macron set himself against his own people with vaccine mandates. The USA has been one giant experiment in how to deal with Covid. Again it was Democrat leftist states that pushed the vaccine ie mandates, mask restrictions and coercive control measures whilst Republican states left the people to make judgements on whether they want to wear a mask or take a vaccine. Florida is the glorious outlier here, and De Santis the buccaneering governor who did away with all Covid restrictions and encouraged an influx of migrants from other states. It’s always the same, people will move from oppression to freedom, wherever you are in the world, whether it’s east to west Germany or from New York to Florida.

Meanwhile in other parts of the Anglosphere, notably Canada and parts of Australia, the hard left has outdone itself in draconian regulation of peoples lives. Dan Andrews in Victoria has been possibly the most extreme western leader with lockdowns in the city of Melbourne continuing for virtually longer than any other place on earth. The heavy handed behaviour of the police has been one of the most disturbing features of the Australian lockdown.

Sadly, the deception of the Covid narrative has captured the one institution that could have taken a clear alternative angle on all this, the church. Instead of shutting its doors when Covid struck, the church could have kept its doors open and ministered to the spiritual and moral needs of the nation which had been so very great over the previous two years. Admittedly at first when Covid struck we were all flying blind, having not experienced a serious epidemic for a hundred years. This was an unknown and potentially lethal virus and many would say the government could not be blamed for taking a cautious approach at the beginning. However the truth came out pretty quickly for those with eyes to see and who would not bow down to the powerful spirit of manipulation and control which was working through the media. The church could have held the government to account over its draconian restrictions and policies, and challenged the lawfulness of banning normal human interaction in the name of health and safety. The church could have taught the nation the reality of the healing power of God, that deliverance from viruses is not only found on the NHS or through vaccines, but also from the power of prayer and the ministry of the laying on of hands. There have been notable exceptions to this of course, with church vicars criticising state interventions and standing up for freedom, whilst much good has been done in the form of food banks and helping the poor and oppressed, whilst some in the church have threatened the government with legal action over church closures and saw the government back down. All this was very laudable but the case remains that the church was relatively supine, uncritical and far too accepting of the government line and not open enough to the possibility that unscrupulous men and women were using this crisis to further unhealthy agendas. The church is called to prophetic discernment of the times and the seasons and to give spiritual leadership to the nation. In this it singularly failed. A tragedy that will blight our nation for years. The sad fact is that non church people have had more discernment on the wicked oppressive plans that have been rolled out over the last two years in the guise of a health crisis. I have witnessed this myself having attended about five of the demonstrations in London over the last eight months or so of the Covid era. It is those people who have stood up for out freedom and seen the dangers of state overreach so clearly, whilst the church has meekly stood on the side.

However all is not lost. When all’s said and done there is always hope and grace and an opportunity to do things a different way next time round. Who’s to say this won’t be an opportunity for a reboot of society and for the church to rise up in new boldness and faith in a time when courage and fearlessness are in short supply. God is that God of the second chance, and his grace covers a multitude of sins. Who’s to know that Covid may have been a time of seeding, when the hearts of men and women have been prepared in the quiet places for future leadership and influence. The past two years will have opened the eyes of many to the deception and wickedness in high places, working through big government, the MSM and the social media giants and they will have learnt that the greatest malevolent spirit we face is the spirit of manipulation and control that works through the majority. An article was written recently that heralded the rise of war leaders to deal with the present situation. Not made for times of peace, such warriors arise when courage is needed to stand against extreme wickedness

Christianity has the cross, the supreme symbol of self sacrifice as God invaded the earth, becoming a man to bear the punishment for our sin. The past shows us that Christianity gets right in amongst the poor, marginalised and sick to minister relief and healing to people. In the plagues that hit the Roman Empire it was the Christians that got in amongst the sick and diseased with no care for their own well being, knowing the risks of catching deadly disease but motivated by love and care for their fellow man. The church has risen to the occasion in terms of social care, ministering to the poor, supporting food banks and suchlike. However by and large the church has complied with government regulations rather than challenge lockdown which is arguably the worst public policy disaster in modern history. The draconian restrictions on human contact, limits on attendance at weddings and funerals, bans on meeting with loved ones in care homes and hospitals, especially when sick family members were at the end of their lives were an opportunity for the church to face down the government on the unprecedented bans on human interaction. We have to,pray that with future threats like Covid or otherwise, that the church will respond ina more discerning manner.

Letter to Rishi Sunak (How many letters has he received?)

The Rt Hon Rishi Sunak
Prime Minister
10 Downing St
Westminster
London

Dear Prime Minister

Things have come to a head over the illegal immigration into the UK along the southern shore, but it is also the legal immigration that is far too high. I consider successive British governments as complicit in helping to destroy the cohesiveness of our society in allowing these vast numbers to continually come in from abroad, and for that reason alone any party that has allowed this should be annihilated at the next election.
For me immigration is the key and biggest issue facing this nation, far more important than GDP, economic growth, taxes, climate change, the NHS, the lot. Demographics is everything. The UK is a tiny country and is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. It has experienced massive immigration over the last two and a half decades, not supported I suggest by most of the indigenous population. It is utterly unfair on The British people to allow this to continue. Even recently the Daily Mail reports that 1 in 6 of the UK population was born abroad, and it has just been reported that net migration has just risen to half a million. The latest census figures have just come out showing the declining percentage of white people in major cities and the falling percentage of Christians in our society. These trends are very worrying, unacceptable and need an immediate response. You must bring legal immigration right down to a manageable level, in fact there is a strong case for a moratorium on all immigration as there has been far too much. The so-called economic arguments for immigration must be defanged. There are enough people in the UK to make a success of our economy, not least the unemployed and the young who can be trained to fill gaps in the labour market without continually resorting to bringing in people from abroad.
In this regard I see a trade agreement with India is in progress which may entail even more immigration as a condition. I do not want this continual legal immigration. We have had far too much in a short space of time. It is nothing to do with racism and everything to do with preserving the cohesiveness of our society, which is obviously unsettled by continual influxes of often alien cultures. You must stop the policy of allowing family members to enter the UK on the coattails of initial immigrants. Also you must change the law to ensure that no money is paid to legal or illegal immigrants who have contributed nothing at all to our society at least until legal immigrants have been here for, say, five years. Surely we need to think of the usefulness of contributory as opposed to non-contributory benefits.
There are massive strains associated with the level of immigration we have, and none of this scale of immigration has the agreement of the British people. It is obvious to anyone the pressure on roads, railways, housing, health and education services that huge immigration brings. The pressure on the NHS is enormous, and has hit close to home. I suffered a stroke in August and had to wait five hours for an ambulance. There are many other examples. I cannot fathom how politicians cannot see the chaos they are encouraging by not clamping down on immigration, unless of course it is a deliberate policy to destroy the nation, which undoubtedly some people believe.
There are also societal strains especially from importing totally alien cultures into the UK. How does the UK government think in any way it will benefit the country to import so many people from poor developing countries which often have cultures with totally different values? You are allowing for instance many Moslems to come here. The world view of many Moslems is completely in opposition to the historical values of this country which are substantially based on the Judeo-Christian worldview. Even Norman Tebbitt said some years ago that you cannot have two dominant cultures in a country, one Christian and one Moslem. We are stoking up trouble for the future, and any statesman worth his salt would be aware of these things. It is sheer madness to allow so many Moslems to enter the country, it’s not racism, it’s simple common sense.
The British people are going to get increasingly very, very angry over what is happening, and don’t bet on there not being a backlash and a quiet but effective revolution. The political class have no right to allow the level of legal and illegal immigration currently being experienced by the UK. Your first, holy and sovereign duty is to put the British people first and thus to protect our borders. That means robust, strong and decisive unilateral action regardless of what the rest of the world, the French, the EU, the left-wing establishment or media think. I remember the Lebanese border with Israel some years ago. If someone tried to cross the border illegally, a warning shot was fired. If they continued to cross the border, the next shot was not a warning. I am not advocating such a policy, but we are far, far, far too soft, and a laughing stock to those taking advantage of us.
The illegal channel crossings is such a huge issue that if you can sort it I suggest that you can win the next election as Labour has little clue on what to do. I suspect that success on this issue alone would give you enough support for a victory, such is the level of concern. Again this is close to home as I am considering at the moment whether I should rejoin the Conservative party to which I belonged for ten years, or wait for a new Conservative opposition to arise from Reform or some combination of other parties with or without Nigel Farage.
Why don’t you just push the boats back like the Australians did? There is nothing anyone can do, apart from making a lot of noise. Reform say that this can legally be done. We seem to lack the ability to be really hard and ruthless when we need to be, and such a time is now. We must take uniliteral action to impose border control by force if necessary, regardless of what anyone else thinks. If you push the boats back the problem will be solved immediately. Look at what the Hungarians and now the Poles are doing, building a fence or wall and refusing to allow illegals to penetrate their sovereign territory. That is exactly what we should be doing. If we need to leave the ECHR and withdraw from the Human Rights Act in order to be free to protect our borders then the government should expedite this as soon as possible to close every loophole that can be exploited by wicked and unscrupulous people to take advantage of our largesse.
I deeply resent my taxes contributing to paying for the keep of illegal immigrants who have no ties to this country, in fact there is a case for withholding tax because the government is failing in its responsibility to protect our borders and therefore the British people. And why are illegals being put in hotels? This is incredible, why are vast amounts being wasted on this when illegals should be put in the most basic accommodation as a deterrent if they make it to these shores? Old military bases or army camps, or perhaps an old cruise ship that can be anchored mid channel would be far better. You are really treating the British people as mugs in paying for hotels for illegals. Again, it is the indigenous people that suffer from the inability or refusal of the government to do its job. At the very least you should immediately return these illegals simply because they have entered the country illegally, surely that would be a deterrent. If other European countries like Sweden and Germany can do it, surely we can too?
Can I urge you to take swift action to deal with the stupendous scale of illegal migration, and to reduce significantly the legal immigration taking place. The UK is not a giant Heathrow for people to land and take off as and when they wish for economic reasons, but an ancient culture with its own mores and traditions that should be lovingly protected. This has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with taking a principled patriotic stance to carefully steward what has been passed down to us from previous generations. You must change or else the danger is a new political movement that will sweep away the old political order and genuinely put the British people first.
A national emergency should be declared on this issue. The boats should be pushed back to stop the nonsense. At the very least anyone who gets here illegally should be immediately deported. You must not allow any form of amnesty to be brought in to clear the backlog of asylum cases as this will be seen as an enormous betrayal and will send a message that illegal entry will be rewarded with the right to stay here. I expect immediate results on this issue, we need to see numbers of illegals coming right down and being deported straightaway. If I don’t see serious efforts by the Conservatives to reduce legal and illegal immigration with such immediate results I will have to question whether my future is ever to return to the Conservative party. In conclusion, the UK should also seek to disassociate itself from any international migration agreements pushed by bodies like the UN and the WEF which push damaging globalist agendas. They hardly have our interests at heart. You must put our country first, there is enough wisdom and talent within these islands to run our country perfectly adequately without interference from international bodies.
I do thank you for reading this letter, and trust and pray that you will do the right thing for our country,

Yours faithfully

The world is in a bit of a quandary over the American elections. I said earlier this year that Brexit and a Trump victory in the US will be better for the world if they happen, and I stand by this. Just a few thoughts however from an Englishman who has been through Brexit.

I in no way condone Trump’s past behaviour or attitude to women, his outrageous statements on various groups Iike Mexicans, or his intemperate remarks on a range of issues. There are all sorts of reasons why people would not want to vote for him, and these are just some of them, just as there are many reasons why people will not vote for Hilary Clinton. The highest level of character and integrity are what you look for in a national leader, yet here we have two candidates with serious flaws, they do not measure up to want you want to see in a national leader. Many people will not vote for them because they refuse to give their vote to people they see as morally or spiritually bankrupt. That is their right, although I believe the stakes are so high that those people should still vote, including the significant bloc of evangelical Christians some of whom particularly disapprove of both candidates. You could say that Trump and Clinton are a symptom of the state of the nation rather than a cause. American society has produced two such candidates and they are merely a reflection of what America now represents. Just as in the U.K. we say we get the government we deserve.

l still say that there is a bigger picture at work, things will be difficult for America with either Trump or Clinton, but Trump I believe is the lesser of two evils. Again I see Trump as a Cyrus figure, a wrecking ball or bulldozer meant to smash the establishment and expose corruption, including the powerful hold of political correctness on the American authorities and especially the Democratic party. At least he stands for some conservative values, control of borders, slashing tax rates to encourage business, protection of the American Constitution and a realistic attitude to militant Islam. On the other hand Hilary Clinton is a hard left candidate who represents open borders, a hemispheric common market, continuance of the entitlement mentality, destruction of the Constitution and a dangerous appeasement towards militant Islam, as well as social transformation with the further pushing of dangerous agendas like partial-birth abortion and the transgender movement. Then we have the email debacle, the evidence of corruption in the Clinton foundation which has taken money from regimes like Saudi Arabia and Qatar. In essence Hilary represents a party that is totally on board with the agenda that is speeding the destruction of western civilisation and destroying anything left of our Judeo Christian heritage.

Supreme Court nominations is another issue. Presidents get to nominate new Supreme Court justices and once they are in they are in for life. Hilary Clinton will ensure hard left candidates for those roles. At least Trump is more likely to appoint conservative judges. Presidents only get eight years maximum, Supreme Court justices are there for life unless they choose to retire or resign. This means they have the ability to remake massively the social and political landscape of America over the long term that a president would never achieve. If Clinton wins, expect judicial activism and a liberal totalitarian social agenda on a grand scale.

Trump has already referred to this as a Brexit election and to some extent he is right. The same forces are at work to a degree. People are fed up with the downgrading of any cultural or historical sense of nationhood, they are tired of the mass migration that is fast changing the nature of our societies, and they are very wary of the policy of allowing so many Moslems to migrate to the west. If Trump gets in, just as with Brexit, it is a sign of the revival of the nation state which has been so inaccurately caricatured in recent decades. People want their own country with a sense of pride in its nature and traditions, and there is nothing wrong with that. They don’t want a globalist agenda imposed upon them. It was inevitable that a pushback would take place, a sign that there is still some backbone left in the west.

One characteristic that defines Trump whatever you say about him is that he has courage. Courage is perhaps the most essential and the most rare commodity in western society today, courage to speak the truth without fear or favour. Too many in the west have been intimidated by a spirit of fear, which stops them from saying what they think. We need leaders who will tell it like it is, before it is too late. Unfortunately too many leaders fit the mould of what is an ‘acceptable’ politician these days. Trump has broken that mould.

The other thing that could be in Trump’s favour is that if he gets a good team around him this will mitigate some of the potential disasters that people anticipate. It won’t be a one man band. Cool heads planted around him can provide a healthy siphon for any excess. The outlook is positive on this front as you see men like Mike Pence, his running mate, Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, trusted generals, some decent conservative leaders around him. Trump can’t do it on his own, a strong team around him will bring stability. He would be wise to recruit those who can get the job done.

Also don’t believe the polls! We have learnt this in the UK both with last year’s General Election and this year’s Brexit vote. Both results were unexpected and leave some faith in democracy against those who argue that elections are rigged. I was up all night at the Brexit vote witnessing the vote count and it is heartening to see the order and level of professionalism displayed in running the count, although it was an area of the country not likely to see much voter fraud! Whether you hold your nose and vote for him or you are a die hard Trump supporter, I still predict that he will win. The alternative in my opinion is frightening, it could spell the end of America as we know it. Just look at this video to sum up Trump’s role as a wrecking ball:

 

 

Brexit!

Well it’s happened! The good ship HMS United Kingdom has loosed her moorings and is now departing the EU quay. Those thick heavy ropes that tied her to Europe are unraveling. There are some that say this will be reversed, that the EU will clutch the UK back into her bosom through the chicanery and Machiavellian tactics of both its own fanatical globalists and sympathetic remainers in the British government.

There are some worrying ‘delays’ and roadblocks being put in place. May is saying that article 50 will not be actioned this year. There have been reports from Europe that we could keep access to the Single Market but at the price of continued free movement of labour. A campaign in the Lords wants to make the country think again. But I just don’t think this will happen now. I really don’t believe the so called ‘New World Order’ has that much power. There will be 17.5 million people to answer to at the next election if Brexit is ‘fudged.’ The momentum is with the leavers, who have been disgracefully smeared as racists and xenophobes by some of the media and sadly by ordinary Brits who voted the other way. A workmate of mine was verbally abused by a fellow worker over their leave stance, although I am pleased to hear there was an emphatic apology. I must say it was a delight to hear people like Keith Vaz and David Lammy summing up this as a ‘disaster’ when in my view it’s the best thing to have happened to Blighty since the end of the Second World War.

The significance of this result should not be underestimated because those that voted out faced the full force of propaganda, bullying and manipulation the establishment could muster. Joseph Goebbels would have been proud of them. The whole government machine threw the kitchen sink at the voters, notably spending £9m on government leaflets posted to every house in the country extolling the arguments for remaining in the EU. Then we had Obama come over the pond to offer his advice that we would go to the back of the queue for a trade deal if we left the EU. I daresay a lot of Brits gave him a classic Anglo Saxon rebuttal when they heard this pontificating about how they should vote. Then we had the banking establishment led by venerable institutions such as the Bank of England and Goldman Sachs informing us of the dangers to the economy a Brexit would pose, followed by various world leaders such as Angela Merkel, and assorted businessmen like Richard Branson telling us what to do. Then there was the catwalk of celebrities that informed us of the ‘folly’ of exit, Jamie Oliver, Gary Lineker, and people like the comedian Eddie Izzard whose appearance on Question Time before the referendum might have convinced any waverer that staying in the EU might not be such a good idea. Even David Beckham was dragged into it, coming out as an enthusiastic remainer along the lines of its better being together. A lot of these people showed a woeful lack of knowledge or discernment on exactly what the EU represents, or at least that they serve the God of mammon. I have to salute the British public who after all the massive bullying fell back on good old fashioned common sense and voted for self government. I daresay that the vote to leave would have been bigger if that horrendous and wicked murder of Jo Cox, female Labour MP had not happened. Also, I suspect a significant number voted to stay through fear, and may be glad later that they lost the vote when and if Brexit proves to be the right move.

And there’s the rub. One report in the Sunday Times made it quite clear that the number one reason for voting out was sovereignty and recovery of democratic accountability to the British voter. Those who oppose the leavers must really extract from the narrative this poisonous idea that such people are racists and xenophobes. This is an insult to millions of decent and principled people who are deeply concerned about what is happening to their country, and it is their country, and they have the right to claim it as their own just as any other people anywhere in the world do. It does not belong to the world and his wife, and any country worth its salt should be able to reserve a high bar to entry, otherwise you devalue the very idea of nationhood. And that vision includes unequivocally those who have come here from overseas and made it their home, happy to accept its values and mores.

This was the main issue for me. Do you or do you not want to be ruled by an external authority? There is only one answer if you want a self governing Britain. And my conviction is not based on consuming endless Daily Express and Daily Mail articles for breakfast but by a long standing study and consideration of our relationship with the EU. I have even read ‘This Blessed Plot’ by Hugo Young, the very bible of the history of UK/EU integration, which traces in long and tortuous detail our developing ties with the continent, and exposes the deceit at the heart of this relationship played on the British people, the idea that there would be no essential loss of sovereignty and that it was no more than an economic deal. He says in the book that there was sufficient covering up of the full truth such that anyone who wanted to ‘make hay’ later would be able to and with full justification. And so it has happened with the rise of Nigel Farage and UKIP who have forced the government’s hand. In a nutshell it can be argued that Edward Heath and his acolytes and successors committed treason by subsuming UK law to EU or European law in the first place and he should not have been able to get away with it.

One might be forgiven for thinking that the hand of Providence intervened in this affair. David Cameron was surprised that he got a majority in the last Parliament. It was totally unexpected by the pollsters. He bought off the threat of UKIP who were holding his feet to the fire by offering a referendum on in or out. How many people voted for him with this in mind? I for one had had enough and went with UKIP. One or two commentators have linked all this to Cameron’s modernising campaign, notably same sex marriage, which drove goodness knows how many exasperated Tories into the bosom of UKIP. So we are where we are, and Nigel Farage is to be saluted by the nation, because his drive and energy and the rise of UKIP has had a lot to do with this incredible victory. They have put the pressure on and won the great prize, and what a prize, regained independence and sovereignty for the people of the U.K. This is a time for great rejoicing.

I argue that you have to see the big picture which extends way beyond our short term interests in the UK. At the beginning of this year the world been out of alignment, spinning on its axis but not in true fashion, wobbly and dangerously lopsided. There is a massive struggle between nationhood and patriotism on the one hand, and globalism on the other. This is the first great event that will help to steer the world back into some sort of alignment again, as perhaps people are seeing that the globalist agenda, like the Emperor, has no clothes. It remains to be seen whether Donald Trump can curry the same favour with voters in the US that Brexit has whipped up in the UK. And let me say now that I do not see Trump as that much better than Hilary. But Hilary will continue to push the globalist agenda whilst Trump is much less likely to do so. Meanwhile, already a number of European countries are demanding their own referendum, countries like the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, France and even Germany. America has seen all this. Will she go for the same result?

This whole episode demonstrates that you cannot thwart the will of the people indefinitely. Sooner or later something will snap. I predict a love of country and revival of patriotism across the globe as peoples react to the relentless push for impersonal globalisation with its worship of money and big business, emasculation of national parliaments, erosion of democracy and unfettered and uncontrolled mass migration that poses a major threat to national cultures and social cohesion. Brexit is a healthy reality check that is proving an encouragement to the world to rediscover the importance of national identity. Well done Britain for leading the way, a fitting source for global change given her historical role as a bulwark against tyranny. She has not quite lost her soul, and may yet surprise us in the future.

Trump and Brexit

There are two events this year that could have an enormous effect on the future of the world. One is the presidential election in the USA and the other is the Brexit vote in the UK. If Donald Trump is elected president of the USA and the U.K. votes to leave the European Union this will be an enormous setback for the elite money men, socialist political leaders, corporatist interests, global companies that know no borders, in fact everything that epitomises the internationalist, globalist agenda, the virtual Tower of Babel that finds its ultimate manifestation in the superstate under construction that is the EU. All those who represent the New World Order and world government will get a kick in the teeth and have to move back in the queue just as the Brits will have to do of course if they leave the EU and try and form a trade deal with the USA! As Lord Obama said of course.

This is why so many people are up in arms about the Donald, as he is stirring up a hornets nest, attacking the forces of political correctness like a bulldozer. Nothing epitomises this direct challenge to the evil power known as ‘political correctness’ than Trump’s proposal to ban all Moslems from entering the USA ‘until we know what’s going on.’ Moslems are at the top of the food chain of the far left’s ‘victim’ groups. Trump has faced Islam down head on.

Trump might be seen as like a ‘Cyrus’ in the Biblical sense, raised up by the Almighty to destroy the spirit of control that is now spreading all over the western world like a lethal virus, causing decent people to hesitate about speaking common sense. In the Old Testament Cyrus was a heathen King who was used by God to decree the return of the exiled Jews to Israel. Trump likewise is poised to give a poke in the eye to all those who think they have the world locked into a one way trajectory. Yes he may not be to every conservatives taste, he may flip flop on a number of issues, he may even be seen as an immoral man, but he is not afraid to confront issues that need to be dealt with, and he is the only politician of a major western country that is prepared to say things about Islam that need to be said.

Meanwhile nothing would give the enemies of the U.K. more joy than to lock her irreversibly into a superstate which would shackle her potential ingenuity and creativity for ever. The land of Magna Carta, the mother of parliaments and the greatest empire the world has ever known finally tamed and neutered. Believe you me the influential ‘remainers’ as they are called in the UK are desperate to keep the UK submitted to the European project. If Britain leaves however, I believe it could be a wonderful release which can enable Britain to enjoy much greater freedom of movement.

Sadly, the U.K. doesn’t have leaders with a clear eye at this time, only the First and Second Lords of the Treasury, who some would say are acting like snake oil salesmen, Cameron and Osborne, who come with an ever more ludicrous narrative to try and bully the British people to stay in the corrupt and totalitarian EU. The referendum campaign in Britain demonstrates the stranglehold the BBC, the media and the establishment have on controlling the agenda. One of the saddest things about the campaign is the emphasis by the remainers on the importance of the economy. They have managed to get a profound debate on an issue close to the hearts of many concerning liberty and democracy down to the level of pounds, shillings and pence, when pecuniary interest should be the last issue in the debate.

However a UK set free from the straightjacket of Europe and able to make more of her own decisions would be a potential force for good in the world. There is enormous scope for developing the relationship with the Commonwealth which would have more natural allegiance to the monarchy and British traditions than could ever be drummed up from our European partners. The U.K. would be able to break free from all the tentacles of the EU octopus that have inveigled themselves into the UK body politic and to set a course which suits herself. Trade would be established with new markets unburdened by EU regulation, and last but not least the UK could help to free other nations also shackled by Brussels. A Brexit could initiate a domino effect that could reverberate through the whole EU.

So these two events give a great chance to the two great old champions of the free world, now much diminished, to make a bid for freedom. If the American people, thoroughly fed up with the political class go for Trump, and the British people show a little courage to break free from the powerful manipulative spirit of the EU, there may be more for the world to rejoice about at the end of the year than there was at the beginning. We can only live in hope.

 

The Dragon needs to be slain!

“National sovereignty is the root cause of the most crying evils of our times… The only final remedy for this supreme and catastrophic evil of our time is a federal union of the peoples…”

Words on the wall in the EU Parliament’s Visitors Centre in Brussels, Belgium.

The upcoming Brexit referendum is of historic importance, not only for the UK in its relationship with the EU but of the impact of this referendum result on the whole world. I contend strongly that a free sovereign UK again will be a positive result for the world. Britain’s continuing membership will help to perpetuate and worsen the present sorry state of affairs.

To understand the nature of the beast we are dealing with just look at the quote at the beginning of this article. Unless you understand the DNA of the EU you will keep falling for the deception. For the EU is possibly the biggest deception or delusion this country has ever faced. The only thing that will stop us from being consumed by the EU is a casting aside of apathy and a little willingness to look at the bigger picture, and that includes taking a historical perspective.

The level of lies, deception and delusion surrounding the EU is enormous. There is always a spirit in Europe that rises up to try to take control of the continent. It has had various guises through the ages and can use any form of government or strategy to effect that control. You only have to look at the history of Europe to realise this. The Roman Empire was an early example when the legions of Rome got to Hadrian’s Wall but interestingly no further. Military power was the driving force. Then during the Middle Ages the controlling spirit worked through a political and religious hierarchy notably represented by the Roman Catholic Church. Later on we had Napoleon trying to conquer Europe through military power but taking a step too far by trying to take on Russia.

The most obvious recent manifestation were the Nazis. Again, a controlling spirit trying to take Europe by terror, Jew hatred and military power. The very same spirit just morphed into something different after the war, but this time it’s a little bit more subtle, using ‘peaceful’ methods to get its way, using words like ‘federalism,’ ‘pooling of sovereignty,’ ‘subsidiarity,’ ‘qualified majority voting,’ ‘progressive,’ ‘anti discrimination’ and ‘equality’ to get its way.

The EU is like a totalitarian monster trying to disguise itself in a velvet cloak, but it’s unceasing activity is to destroy the nation state. You can be absolutely sure that it aims to do this to what is left of the U.K. despite our history. Go to Brussels, to the very centre of the project, and read the words from the beginning of this article that quotes a British civil servant, Philip Kerr, later known as Lord Lothian, who loved federalism and internationalism and thought the nation state was the cause of all the world’s problems. This demonstrates the core DNA of the EU and needs to be exposed for all the world to see.

Also unless you can see you are dealing with a bully who will make ridiculous threats you will not get far. European Commission chief Jean Claude Juncke has actually just said there is no plan B, that ‘the UK will stay in the EU as a constructive and active member of the Union.’ Right now the UK needs a statesman of the highest calibre with great farsightedness, someone with the prophetic insight of Churchill, but we haven’t got that type of person in a Prime ministerial role. Every politician that enters Westminster is in danger of coming under the same spirit of control that emanates from Brussels, because this nation has opened a gateway to that spirit when we entered the Common Market. Thank God for UKIP who have provided a safety valve for dissent and indeed the chance of a referendum.

The EU has been trying to operate as one superstate for years. The single market is an example of that. We hear about being excluded from the single market if we leave the EU, but that shouldn’t surprise us. Any sovereign country has a single market with no trade barriers. In the UK there is a single market if you like, although we are compromised by Europe. So goods and services are freely traded across county and regional boundaries, between England, Wales and Scotland every day, without any tariff barriers. That’s what happens when you have one country. If we left the EU we would leave the single market and have to arrange a trade deal with the EU. That’s ok, it’s what any other country outside the EU does if they want to trade with Europe. Sure there may be tariffs or taxes involved at some point working both ways, but that’s what happens between sovereign nations. It certainly wouldn’t be in the interests of either side to set unnecessarily high trade barriers.

Another example is not being allowed to discriminate against workers from across the EU in terms of employment and benefits in favour of your own nationals. Of course that will happen because the EU is trying to build one country where you cannot discriminate in favour of your own people, for we are all EU citizens with EU passports.

Then we have child benefits for migrant families. We send child benefit payments ‘abroad’ for migrant families. The latest deal proposes that payments are indexed to individual countries’ costs off living so that a Polish family is not getting the same number of pounds as a Bulgarian family who are probably getting a ‘kings ransom’ at present rates given the low cost of living in Bulgaria. Again the EU is trying to act like a single state where payments are just sent home to wherever home is in ‘Europa.’

What have they offered us? Not very much at all. When dealing with a bully you have to go in hard and face them down head on, confronting them with a list of demands as long as your arm including taking back control of our fishing industry, industrial policy, energy policy and full control of our borders, and clipping the wings of the European Court of Justice to overrule Britain in any way. David has managed to secure a deal on migrants, to disallow in work benefits for in work migrants for up to four years, an emergency brake, but then this is subject to the agreement of the European Parliament and agreement of other governments to activate the brake. Exactly how many migrants is this going to stop from entering the UK, especially if they come from much poorer countries and are coming essentially to earn a living? A mere cosmetic exercise, especially as the Living Wage is coming on stream soon.

In view of all this David Cameron is a bit like a puppy sitting at the foot of the table of his master eagerly awaiting a few crumbs from the table. Quite insulting to him and the British people. Unfortunately Cameron is another gatekeeper for the European project, utterly under the thumb of the big bully of Brussels. You could also argue he is like a magician trying to perform a trick with smoke and mirrors. It has always been a dream of mine for a UK Prime Minister to stand up in Parliament and tell the EU to get lost. I will have to wait a little longer. But perhaps in the meantime the British people will make that unnecessary by rising up in courage and voting ‘out.’ Let us hope so!

The gutting and filleting of the UK

If you do not understand that the level of deception, delusion, lying, dissimulation and level of craftiness is probably at an all time high in the world today, you should not be in a position of national leadership if you want your nation and culture to survive. Otherwise you will be swept along with the tide like everyone else. But perhaps on the other hand we get the leaders we deserve.

The Commission on Religion and Belief in British Public life has been in the headlines recently. This august body has just announced its recommendations for the place of Christianity in our nation, basically a serious downgrade since we are now a multicultural society that needs to go worship at the altar of ‘all religions and lifestyles are equal.’ Is this the last gasp of the politically correct ‘fun monster’ that has been consuming all in its path for the last few decades before a possible miraculous renaissance of our nation, or is it that same monster determined to crush under its steam roller any last vestiges of robust tradition left in these islands?

The document suffers from the normal typically English desire not to offend anyone and to be nice to everyone. It talks of ‘faith communities’ and everyone learning more about everyone else’s faith, more dialogue between the religious and non religious, more understanding between the media and the religious, and so on. There are some reasonable points made to be fair to the report. It does say that there should be more education about religion in the media, which is fair enough. There is a need for more understanding between different groups in society. In fact this applies for politicians as well who perhaps thought the age of religion was over and we were ushering in the age of ‘reason. How wrong could you be? Politicians are perhaps the most important group of people who should develop their education on religion. It is their lack of discernment on this issue that has helped to bring us to our present peril. Likewise the report pushes the line that interfaith dialogue should be developed especially between abrahamic and dharmic faiths, which of course has its place, bearing in mind however the potential for dangerous compromise of one’s own beliefs.

Don’t you ever wonder sometimes that all the wrong people are in positions of power and influence and all the right people are down in the valley of the shadow of the humdrum just getting on with their lives and bemoaning the delusions that afflict some of the ruling classes in the western world. Would that we could swop the roles of some of these people at the wave of a wand to begin to stop the rot.

And just who are these people on the Commission? Well we have the ex-Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, a nice enough guy but more suited to the rarefied atmosphere of academia than a scrap with the fascist ‘liberals’ and politically correct apparatchiks that infest the west like rats in a sinking ship. One of his most enlightened moments as Archbishop was to ponder the possibility as I understand it of the prospect of aspects of sharia law being grafted into the UK legal system, a bit like taking a nest of cobras to your bosom but who am I to disagree with such an eminent intellect?

Then we have Baroness Butler-Sloss who was recently taken off an inquiry into sexual abuse of minors in Britain as she was deemed to be potentially compromised i.e. her brother was the Attorney General at the time of some of the abuse. She is a church going Anglican we are told. Followed by Sir Iqbal Sacranie, Islamic apologist who was in charge of the MCB (Moslem Council of Britain) when they boycotted the Holocaust Memorial Day. Anyone with any sort of robust Christian faith could be forgiven for not having the greatest confidence in their findings.

What is on the Commission’s Christmas/New Year list 2015/16? What are some of the gifts they are giving us in this season of good cheer? We can’t pick up on all their findings but firstly they propose that the next coronation which will presumably be of Prince Charles bar a miracle, take account of the ‘plurality’ of our nation, yes it’ll be a multi-faith one of course (nothing new there), treating all religions as equal therefore having your token imams, Hindu priests, Sikh holy men and perhaps one or two non conformists. And how about a couple of Jedi knights, and a satanist or two present at the multi-faith jamboree to make it really ‘diverse?’

Clifford Longley wrote a book years ago about the English constitutional settlement, that we have a coronation, not a constitution, where the new monarch promises to rule his/her people according to the precepts of the Holy Bible, invoking the relationship between the Old Testament priest, Zadok, God’s representative, and the children of Israel. A mere anachronism some might say in these days of godlessness. However, it has a history, and is at the heart of our government. It also gives England a claim to a unique exceptionalism little understood by most of the Queen’s subjects. I mean how many other countries in the world have a governmental system where the monarch pledges allegiance to the God of the Bible?

You either scrap it completely, or do the whole show, for Christianity is totally incompatible with any other religion because they have such fundamental differences. Anything else will be based on deception and will be a willing partner of the drive to build a flaky one world religion not based on truth but an unholy mishmash of different religions, that will just about suit the globalist agenda. In that regard it might be worth watching the present Pope, who seems to be building his social justice credentials rather than just preaching the uncompromising Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Their eminences and associated commission members don’t appear to believe in anything in particular apart from a mishmash of different faiths and non faiths, so why not scrap the whole thing? If you believe that Christianity provides the bedrock for our society and has done for hundreds of years then you will know that it is utterly and completely incompatible with Islam for a start, and would have issues with any other religion that claims any competitive position. The right stance as the Daily Telegraph said in quite a good article some years ago is to affirm Christianity as the historic religion of this country under which all other religions have an umbrella of protection, very wise and timely advice. But don’t legitimise all other religions in the eyes of the law which directly contradict Christianity. Why do you think so many people have come here from abroad in the past? They presumably didn’t have a problem with Britain being a ‘Christian country.’

How about this one, let’s have some representatives of other religions and worldviews in the House of Lords? ‘Who the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.’ How about some eminent imams? Let’s see, I wonder how many of those imams believe in their heart of hearts, although they would not say it on BBC Newsnight being interviewed by Evan Davies, that they have an agenda to turn the UK into an Islamic state with fully fledged sharia law, that all male apostates from Islam should be killed, that the whole world is a mosque and it is the duty of said imams to make sure every last one of us submits? Hmm, don’t think that will go down too well with the audience.

Third on the list of presents is ‘Let’s water down the distinctiveness of faith schools’ as they are ‘socially divisive and exclusive.’ So most religious school don’t need to select on grounds of religion anymore in their admissions and employment practices. Also in general the requirement to have an act of collective worship or religious observance should be repealed, let’s go for those inclusive assemblies and times for reflection! Surely their eminences know that education was started by churches in this country, and then the state took up the mantle of education for all. Shock horror, I thought Christianity was a medieval cult, you mean they actually encouraged education of young people!

Again ideology trumps reality. Faith schools, particularly Christian schools of a Roman Catholic or Anglican bent as they are the vast majority, tend to get some of the best results and reputations, and parents are desperate to get their brood into them. I wonder why? They are by no means perfect, but what school is? Christian schools still have an ethos that parents like, whether or not they are committed Christians. But Butler-Sloss, Williams and Sacranie are prepared to sacrifice them on the altar of multiculturalism, making an offering to the God of deception and delusion who has waved his wicked magic wand over the whole of the western world. Whatever replaces those schools will still have another set of values based on an ‘ity’ or ‘ism,’ and I suspect it won’t be superior to the Christian ethos.

I’d say it’s time to sacrifice the Commission on Religion and Belief in Public Life on the altar of common sense and historical perspective. However that will need an astounding recovery of nerve. In effect there is a profound crisis of confidence in the UK in its historic role and identity, particularly an uncomfortable relationship with its ‘anachronistic’ Christian past. There is such a powerful deception at work now that states that all religions should have equal standing and should thus be be treated equally, therefore you can’t treat Christianity as the gold standard anymore because that would be ‘unfair.’ The buzzwords of this delusion are ‘faith communities,’ ‘equality,’ ‘anti discrimination,’ ‘human rights’ and ‘diversity.’ The only answer to this situation is a wholesale rediscovery of the Christian faith which could bring renewal and revival to society just as it has in the past, potentially bringing life and resurrection to every sphere.

Viktor Orban – a hero for our time

The political class in Europe and their acolytes are now an extreme danger to their own people. The papers are full of it. Under Angela Merkel Germany has agreed to take in 800,000 migrants this year. This is a country I have grown quite fond of having visited it over the last few years. Yet I feel that they are building their own funeral pyre.

In the present migrant crisis that is facing Europe you have to be hard headed and realistic, and ask some very pertinent questions. Yes there are genuine refugees who are entitled to help, such as Syrian Christians who are being wiped out by jihadists, but to treat all migrants making their way to Europe as such would be unbelievably naive. That is why it is wise to step back from some of the hype over this issue, especially when 400,000, plus people sign a UK petition to help migrants.

I find it highly disturbing the behaviour of some of the migrants pouring into Europe. One would expect genuine refugees to have a somewhat docile demeanour and to cooperate fully with the authorities in whose country they find themselves, rather unsure of the largesse they might enjoy from their hosts. However we have had stories of migrants refusing to disembark off a ferry from Germany to Denmark unless they are allowed to go on to Sweden, throwing away provision such as water given to them, and failing to cooperate with the lawful authority in the territory they find themselves in. A Head of a UNHCR camp called Syrian refugees ‘the most difficult refugees I’ve ever seen.’ Refugees in Italy were throwing rocks at police whilst demanding free wifi. It reminds me of the attitude of some of the migrants in Calais trying to illegally enter the UK. You say they are desperate. Hmm… Desperation is no excuse for lawlessness. If so called refugees are willing to behave like that in a supposedly desperate situation, what regard will they have for the law when they come to your country?

Viktor Orban, president of Hungary speaks the truth amongst European leaders and makes the rest of Europe’s leaders look like political pygmies. He has stated the foolishness of opening European borders to the mass migration that is now taking place across Europe from the Middle East and Africa, especially the Moslem immigration. He points out that Europe is historically at least a Christian continent, although now it is busy attacking its own Christian values, and that letting Moslems in who do not integrate and may have an agenda is deeply unwise. I suggest there is a connection between Europe losing its spiritual soul and the mass immigration of Moslems of recent years. Any leader worth his salt needs one quality amongst many, and that is discernment. You always and every time have to protect your own people, so what possesses European leaders to let in so many from a totally alien culture and civilisation within the European borders?

Victor is showing qualities which are sadly lacking in European politics. Not least the quality of courage. He is prepared to say what so many politicians in Europe are not prepared to say because they do not wish to offend. Political correctness is rooted in fear. But that is not showing leadership. Viktor is demonstrating leadership by telling the truth, that Islam is incompatible with western values and will only bring trouble and strife to western lands, just as it already has. In doing so he is putting himself in the firing line against the forces arrayed against him that have built an iron stronghold of multiculturalism and political correctness in Europe. They will no doubt try to bully him into backtracking but he must stick to his guns.

Also, Viktor probably has a pretty good sense of history. In the year 1000 King Stephen 1 founded the State of Hungary as a Catholic country. Hundreds of years later in 1526 the Turkish army defeated the Hungarian royal army at Mohacs, and the country split into three parts in about 1541. It was 150 years before the Hungarians reunited and drove out the Turks. The Turkish baths in Budapest are a legacy of this period. Countries have long memories. Eastern Europe faced the hordes of the Ottoman Empire in their history and know far more about the Islamic mentality than most armchair critics in the west who have never witnessed the iron grip of militant Islam when it gains control of your territory. They have had to fight for their survival and now see the Islamic enclaves that have been established in so many western cities where there is just a failure to integrate, and they have witnessed the growth of jihad in the west aided and abetted by clueless western politicians. They do not want the same problems.

No doubt Viktor is aware that amongst the migrant hordes trying to enter Western Europe are highly dangerous jihadists who have had specific instructions from ISIS to cause murder and mayhem in Europe. And they will lie according to the Islamic doctrine of takiyya and claim to be refugees of course, taking naive westerners who think everyone else in the world thinks like they do for fools. And so the western reporter believes them when they say they are refugees from Syria. Some may be, but all of them? A great cover to dupe trusting westerners, especially. when you can easily get a fake Syrian passport.

There is one big question here that has not been satisfactorily answered. Why on earth are the other Moslem nations neither helping nor expected to help to look after their own for the Islamic ummah? Rich Arab nations like Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. Surely they should be looking after their own brethren rather than letting them flow to Europe. Won’t they be happier in an Islamic country rather than coming to traditionally Christian lands? Well maybe, just maybe they are committing Hijrah, Islamic migration to establish a bridgehead for the burgeoning caliphate. Surely not? Far too much of a conspiracy theory! And then you have western nations loath to take Christian refugees from nations where they are being wiped out by Islamic jihad. They now put anti discrimination legislation before doing what is right.

Of course there is another possible explanation for this, and that is that pompous and arrogant elites that are trying to build a new world order are engineering this migration as it is in their interests. This may even be beyond the dangers of islamisation that those such as Geert Wilders foresee. These so called elites are directing the politically correct left who rule in Europe. They know that it will destroy what is left of European Christian civilisation, and of course it is Christianity they must destroy to bring In their socialist/communist world utopia. The EU is just a building block. It will also help usher in their phoney counterfeit world religion that will be a syncretism of different world religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and state Catholicism, as they know they need a religion to help rubber stamp their ghastly vision of heaven on earth. The fulfilment of a truly wicked plan, the replacement of Judeo-Christian culture with a massive counterfeit system that will be rooted in coercion and totalitarianism.

Time for the warrior spirit to arise! You never know!
