Manifesto project: immigration

Taking on a big writing project in the hottest weeks of Summer was not the best idea. Living in a relatively new house, my home is insulated to modern standards which means my writing room is an absolute furnace. Thankfully, it’s cooled off considerably, and I can think straight once again, so it’s back to work.

As far as the manifesto project goes I thought I’d pretty much wrapped up the immigration chapter, but events of the last two weeks suggest that even the most robust approach is perhaps not robust enough.

When it comes down to brass tacks, there are only two coherent approaches to the immigration question. Either to accept that Britain is permanently disfigured by problem immigration and somehow take steps to manage the problem within those limitations, or recognise that Britain can only exist as a functioning country if it remains the homeland of native Britons. In both scenarios, though, there must be a long term moratorium on all immigration.

Personally, I’ve never really been at home with blood and soil nationalism, but increasingly I find myself in the company of that kind of nationalism. It comes down to more pragmatic reasoning based on the observable fact that we have immigrant communities who cannot integrate (not least because there is nothing British left in urban centres to integrate with), and even if they could, there is no indication that they want to. Muslim communities in particular live an increasingly separatist existence.

As such, they are not immigrants. They are colonists, and I am not obliged to welcome them or consent to their presence. Separatists should be encouraged to leave and we need to put them on notice.

By the same token, though, it is neither realistic or desirable to return to 1950s demographics, and we’d have to do some quite monstrous things to achieve it. As such, we need a range of policies.

Starting from first bases, any party that isn’t interested in fixing the immediate problem of borders and numbers coming in simply isn’t fit to govern. You either believe in borders or you don’t, and if you don’t then you’re an enemy of the country. Certainly the welfare systems of the nation can no longer function is anyone who rocks up is entitled to make a claim. There is no restoration to a functioning state without extensive welfare reform.

This, much, I think is already widely understood, and I think even the Tory party could be nudged in that direction. I’ve already outlined what I think should happen in a previous post on the subject. There are far too many people coming into this country who will never be net contributors, nor will their dependents. There is no good reason for admitting them.

Events of the last two weeks, though, have been a wake-up call. When we see armed mobs of Islamists patrolling the streets hunting for white people to assault, this is no longer a future dystopian scenario. It’s happening in the here and now and we need to put a stop to it.

This has been allowed to fester for far too long. This is not just a consequence of “two tier policing”. It’s that we have two-tier institutions throughout, while the political class simply doesn’t want to confront the problems. Just yesterday, Yvette Cooper ordered a review of counter-terrorism strategy to tackle violence against women and girls, but it’s a certainty that it will skirt around the real reasons why women and girls are no longer safe.

Ultimately, if the government is serious about women's safety, it should stop importing third world men from primitive, backward cultures - because that's the reason it is no longer safe for women to travel alone on public transport, and it's the reason it's inadvisable for unaccompanied women to get into a taxi after dark.

Ultimately, if you want to solve a problem, you have to name it. The problem is garbage immigration. In respect of that we can be assured that the establishment parties won’t touch the issue with a barge pole. Robert Jenrick, the Tory leadership front-runner seems to understand that immigration is a priority issue, but his “broad church” party won’t let him get serious.

Meanwhile, there is nothing much to say in Reform’s favour either. Nigel Farage is a middle of the road civic nationalist who doesn’t want to get his hands dirty. Reform will talk about getting immigration down, but we really need to be talking about remigration for those with no business being here.

That, though, will only get us so far. We don’t have the luxury of deporting third and fourth generation black immigrants who are increasingly feral. We have a serious problem that liberal approaches have only exacerbated. We have nurtured a growing sense of black victimhood, from which arises a sense of black entitlement - which accounts for the overall lack of black attainment and rising criminality.

This has to be tackled from an early age. We need to stop teaching young people to hate this country, and instead recognise their immense good fortune to be born in a country of equal opportunity.

Then, when it comes to Islamism, we are going to have to tool up to deal with it. It’s highly probable now that mosques around the country are holding caches of weapons and we are going to have to place every one of them under surveillance and make the subject to inspections. Being that there is a system wide reluctance to name and tackle the issues, it then falls to parties on the “far right” to address it. I recently got it from the horse’s mouth that the SDP has no intention of getting serious about garbage immigration.

In the meantime, we also need to be alert to the rising sectarianism in our politics. We need to come down hard on this. Religious leaders and members of religious groups must refrain from promoting any political party or cause under the cloak of religion. The leaders should not incite their faithful to defy, challenge or actively oppose secular Government policies; much less mobilize their followers or their organisations for subversive purposes.

To that end, we are going to need a watchdog and a police force who will not treat Muslims with kid gloves. Muslims need to ask themselves why they are here. If being Muslim holds a greater personal significance than being British, we have the right to demand their departure. We must effectively ban the involvement of Islam in state affairs and politics.

I’m of the view that unless Britain gets serious about the growing dysfunctionality of multiculturalism then the only possible future is one of low-grade civil war, decline and eventual fall. We are on the road to Lebanonisation, and we are missing all the off-ramps.

This is not a question of racism. It’s a question of whether radically different cultures can peacefully coexist in the same spaces under a universal rule of law. It is said that Britain is the world’s most successful multi-ethnic democracy, which is perhaps true, but that’s not saying very much. Events following the slayings in Southport point to how fragile it is.

The essential problem is that the level of immigration and the cultural dissimilarities exceed the absorptive capacity of the host society to deal with it. As such, there is actually no solution short of reducing the number of immigrants and ensuring that those who remain have a closer cultural affinity than the current cohort.

That can mean a policy of voluntary repatriation, combined with a policy of enforced deportations of immigrants who engage in criminal activity, and a robust policy on "family reunion", which should be allowed only in exceptional circumstances.

If this is not enough, and given the scale of the problem it probably won't be, we might have to consider expanding the "hostile environment" policy to encourage more immigrants to leave the country, perhaps with enhanced financial inducements.

The establishment parties believe the problems can be swept under the rug, and that so long as debate is robustly censored then the issues will go away. But they won’t. The debate will continue to rage whether they want it or not. If our political class refuse to engage, then violent disorder will become the new normal.
