Are the British Racist?
No. Just Fed Up
by Phillip Day

A cataclysmic weapon has been deployed against Britain in the form of mass, unchecked immigration, coupled with the drafting of new legislation which will actually make it illegal to voice your opposition to EU policies of the day.

But are the British who speak up about such matters 'racist' or 'xenophobic', or are they not justified in feeling apprehensive and nervous about what is going on around them? The future has now seen 'Islamic fundamentalism' take to the streets in Britain to propagate its own violence, since radical Islam, by its own admission, refuses to assimilate into Britain's new secular society, let alone the previous Christian one. This has already begun to happen.

In January 2003, a make-shift chemical lab was uncovered in London which had been manufacturing the poison ricin, potentially capable of causing a horrid death on a large scale. It seems the gang responsible was comprised entirely of Algerian 'asylum seekers'. A raid a few days later by police on an address in Manchester was supposed to track down the mastermind behind the ricin operation. Police however came upon three further Algerians, including the alleged mastermind, Kamel Bourgass, who were arrested while the house was searched. Incredibly, they weren't handcuffed.

In what appears to be a deadly exercise in futility, Bourgass managed to break free from his captors, grab a kitchen knife, and (I have at this point legally to say 'allegedly') went on a sticking rampage. DC Stephen Oake, a Special Branch officer, was killed instantly and three others wounded in front of their comrades. Later efforts on behalf of this author to discover why on earth the three had not been handcuffed while the house was being searched uncovered the theory that perhaps police were unwilling to handcuff ethnic suspects because it might be deemed 'inappropriate'.

Frankly the British people don't know what to do. This is a new type of warfare, and we haven't been trained to fight it. Is extremism being allowed to flourish in our country for fear of 'not playing fair with the immigrants'? This too plays into the hands of the EU, which intends to draft more military-style police units implementing more legislation, further curtailing personal freedoms.

Logging on to you
After EU 'enlargement' in May 2004, the aim is eventually to have all 450 million inhabitants registered on the central Europol database with an 'entitlement' (read 'identity') card, fingerprints, DNA-typing and dozens of fields of information on political and sexual preferences, arrest records, tax data, religious beliefs and other demographic denominators. Misbehaviour by any individual will incur a withdrawal of 'entitlements' (privileges granted by the state) and the full machinery of the state's oppressive law enforcement apparatus being arrayed against them.

Another problem is that terrorists can gain access to Britain relatively easily in order to wreak havoc on soft targets, as we almost saw with the ricin episode in North London. Such terrorist events, while grotesque and macabre to the public, in fact greatly serve the ends of the socialist architects. Another high-profile terrorism shooting, for instance, provokes the usual round of gun-control legislation, further disarming law-abiding citizens, while at the same time ensuring that the police become more heavily armed and the serious weaponry is left in the hands of hardened criminals and troublemakers.

Old Soviet
Anatoly Golytsin, a Kremlin staffer, defected from the USSR in 1984 and published his book, New Lies for Old. In it, Golytsin described how, a few years into the future, a series of political events would occur in Russia, which would lead the world to believe that Communism had collapsed. This in fact happened with the breaking up of the Soviet Union in 1991. The West was indeed lulled to sleep, according to Golytsin, trusting that the Cold War was over. Meanwhile, was a more powerful and better organised regime forming beneath Western nations in Europe after decades of careful planning and execution?

The political left in Britain endorses any move that contributes towards the break-up of the state and its acceleration into their utopia of either a pan-European superstate or global federation. Reckless immigration, along the lines we are seeing today, appears to be deliberately encouraged, through inaction, by the government of the day, even as it was by previous administrations, regardless of party politics.

Britain - a cultural war-zone
The woman in the street and the man on the Clapham omnibus, born during the 1920's into a Britain of deference, duty, respect and long-established British values, have both received a rude awakening. The Britain they once admired and loved has ceased to exist.

There was once a Britain where citizens regarded themselves as having the highest ideals of decency and justice. But the character of today's Britons, occupying the same place on the globe as their empirical predecessors, would be as alien to those old adversaries Gladstone and Disraeli as the dark side of the moon.

To the old soldiers, sailors and airmen of World War 2, the country they loved and fought for is unrecognisable to them today, and so are the inhabitants. Forbidden by law to say anything about what is going on around them, they choke on the 'multiculturalism' and 'cultural diversity' gags that have been stuffed in their mouths. Bitter resentment and anger seethe in their hearts that no one asked them whether they wanted all the changes the liberals and socialists forced upon them anyway. In fact, they couldn't see why anything of their world really needed changing at all. Worse, they came from an era when everyone seemed to care. Today, how shocked they are to find that it is they who are viewed as the enemies of 'tolerance' and 'progress'.

Welcome home
Yet many immigrants, who have assimilated successfully into British culture, have known peace and prosperity, and love Britain with a genuine fondness. These have proved the success of Britain's traditional policy of 'fair dealing for all'. But others have taken selfish advantage, scorned British culture, and haven't bothered even to learn the language. More than one million people living in Britain today do not speak English - twice the number of six years ago. And why should they? Whole areas have been given over to minority populations whose ethnic rivalries routinely clash like bright steel with those of their neighbours. So much for multi-culturalism, which is the enemy of assimilation.

Where there are cultural melting pots in Britain, nerves are tuned tighter than a Stradivarius. Why should that be if multiculturalism has been the success its Pollyanna architects have often boasted? White racists stalk black ones, each garbed in the predictable extremism of the other, while neither can see how alike they have actually become. White police, wearing military-style uniforms and Kevlar, learn harsh, politically correct lessons trying to arrest minorities, and now give such areas a wide detour. Others crouch in Ford Transits with their CS gas and anger-proof riot shields, waiting for trouble. Today, there are no-go areas in Britain for whites.

While millions of the silent majority resent what has happened and seek a lawful, political solution from one of their major political parties, not one speaks for them. The Big Three, New Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats, are all pushing for the death of Britain. New Labour waved the Union Jack at the Queen's Golden Jubilee, while chortling inwardly at its coming demise. The soft and vacillating Conservative right rubberstamps a multiculturalism it secretly hates, grinning sheepishly up at the British Tower of Babel which hideously offends it, just to appear relevant with the trendy modernizers of Blair's 'Third Way'.

Britain's special relationship with her immigrants
Yet in spite of the problems, Britain actually has good reason to be proud of her race record in general. Certainly there are exceptions, and racism, as with other countries, always smoulders below the surface. But what other nation has had to absorb such an astonishing scale of immigration in so short a period of time without major social strife? Britain's national character has been responsible for its sense of fair play, making many a visitor feel at home - so much so, that Britain has become the number one destination of choice for immigrants across Europe. Even the French, desperately trying to escape the closing noose of their own EU regulatory and tax harmonisation procedures, have moved to Britain in unprecedented numbers. There are reported to be some 250,000 French citizens, many of the more wealthy, who have liked Britain enough to make her their home.

It's not that British people are overly welcoming to their immigrants either. They're not. Rooted firmly in a culture that has celebrated personal liberty for centuries, we simply respect the desire of others to better their predicament, the same as we would try to do in their position. The liberal left has made great political capital out of the good old bloke of a Brit, who is stung when accused by them of institutional racism, because most of us don't actually see ourselves that way. What alarms Britons today are the sheer numbers of illegal and possibly criminal elements flooding in while a hopelessly politically correct parliament looks with embarrassment the other way.

We are especially angry when we see erstwhile British colonials getting a kicking from tin-horn dictators like Robert Mugabe, and worse, our own government cynically ignoring white Zimbabweans' impassioned pleas for help as their farmers are butchered by machete-wielding squatters or shot. This smacks of running away from your mates in a fight and that's not what we're about. To what extent did 'not upsetting Brussels' figure in Mr Blair's decision to ignore Mugabe?

Are the British institutionally racist? Well if we are, you'd be hard put to explain why British army and civilian personnel went native in India, Africa and a hundred places in between during the empire years, even as they do today. Millions of Brits over the centuries have married foreign spouses, incorporated foreign cuisine and adopted foreign ways and brought all those great foreign words into our tremendously versatile language. In general, I don't think we've had a problem with race at all. We've enjoyed trading freely with everyone who was over 16 and could fog a mirror, regardless of caste or colour. Today, the huge contributions the British have made to the world are still venerated in South Africa, India, Pakistan, Australia, Canada, America, New Zealand and a hundred other countries. Certainly not much of an indication that the British culture is at war with the natives, is it? In fact, name another empire that has EVER withdrawn from its powers and still enjoys the kind of relationship we do with most of our former colonies today?

The British, racists?

Hardly.

Fed up with having our hospitality abused?

Absolutely.

Fast asleep
Today in Britain, the time is ten minutes to midnight. If I can paraphrase Thomas Jefferson badly, the price of our nation's liberty was eternal vigilance over her rights and freedoms, and we have not been vigilant. We've been diverted; lulled to sleep; preoccupied with our new religion of materialism. We've been too busy watching Jerry Springer, Graham Norton and the Simpsons; too absorbed with the day-to-day minutiae of our humdrum existence; too willing to party, get drunk and go into debt today to possess what we cannot wait for until tomorrow. Meanwhile a European Trojan Horse has been wheeled into our camp and we gaze apathetically up at it. We allow our politicians to negotiate with and appease the foreign usurpers inside it, bargaining away our freedoms that weren't theirs to horse-trade or give away to begin with. We did nothing then. And we're still not doing it today.

So Britain is to get the destiny she deserves, Lenin is to have his day. The state is God. Multiculturalism and political correctness became the new faith and morality for Britain round about the time the nation realised it had lost God in the mud somewhere between the guilt of Passchendaele and the Anglican Lambeth Conferences. And to justify all of the upheaval and the misery and the treason and the lying, the woman in the street and the man on the Clapham omnibus were told the ultimate fib that all this change in Britain was necessary because there were serious things wrong with their country.

But there weren't.
