WE MUST BE LITERALLY MAD

Pakistani diplomat makes a cut-throat gesture in London

A protest in London on Friday drew attention to the ongoing potential for inter-ethnic and inter-religious strife on British soil.  However, in such an event the native British population would merely be bystanders as immigrant descendants fight each other.

Decades of mass immigration have created a broken society in which diversity is anything but the 'strength' that so-called progressives repeatedly broadcast.  Our towns and cities are no 'melting pots', they are a patchwork of very different neighbourhoods that have become dominated by one community or another.  As the native population continues to shrink and recede, we are replaced by people from around the world, who are importing their grievances and conflicts from back home.

As India and Pakistan square up to each other once more, the tension can be felt on British streets.  On Friday a demonstration took place outside the Pakistan High Commission in London.  Ethnic Indians gathered to express anger over the Islamist terror attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir, that killed 26 mostly Hindu tourists on Tuesday.  The Indian protesters were met by ethnic Pakistanis and a line of police separated the two groups as they taunted each other.  At one point a Pakistani Army colonel was seen on the balcony of the building pointing towards the Indian protesters and making a cut-throat gesture with his finger.

Four of the Indian protesters were reportedly arrested.

The importing of foreign conflicts to these shores was further exemplified by the decision of some Indian protesters to wave Israeli flags during their demonstration.  Palestinian flags could also be seen on the Pakistan side.

As the late, great John Enoch Powell famously said: "We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependents, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the immigrant-descended population.  It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre."

50,000 migrants now sounds like a drop in the ocean as net migration to the UK has soared into the hundreds of thousands each year.  And let's not forget that it was Powell's own party that spent over a decade in power, repeatedly promising to cut migration while instead increasing it to record highs.
