Details about the Magdeburg Christmas market attacker remain unclear. The perversity of it is that people will believe what they want to believe. Some will believe one thing, others will believe another, and few will take the time to work out what happened and why. Some on both sides of the argument have a vested interest in saying it was something it wasn’t.
It sounds as if you have swallowed the simplistic line 'some immigration is beneficial' whereas our priority should be to train our own nationals for the jobs we need.
I'm well aware of that but not training people for our own needs has been the case for years and this needs to change ASAP.
In the interim, in say the case of doctors, we should only aim to attract the best with attractive pay and incentives but only on limited contracts so they return to their countries in due course.
Once we have trained enough of our own we can pick and choose to recruit the best from abroad as the need arises.
At the moment we have the worst of both worlds - lack of in house training and poor vetting of candidates form abroad resulting in, in the case of doctors, individuals with poor language skills and often second rate qualifications.
This “attack” was probably orchestrated, within a few hours the world knew who the “attacker” was, this will be used to usher in digital ID to keep us safe 15 minute cities and C-40 climate change
The more tension between ethnic and religious groups the better the powers that be like it
I have finally found the time to start reviewing your Manifesto — currently annotating and on page 83. There are some good points in there, but I think that we can simplify (without dropping any of the rigour).
I've had a few heated discussions with Homeland members which hasn't endeared me to the party. On the one hand there is broad support among the British public for remigration when it comes to recent immigrants who refuse to integrate into British...and by extension English, Scots, Welsh and Ulster...life but still a lot of Homeland members want remigration of anyone with a little too much melanin in their skin, which includes people of mixed races who have been born here, lived their lives here and have integrated. An example being my wife's uncle, a son of a Jamaican merchant seaman who died in WW2 and a white, English mother. This guy is 85 years old, never been to Jamaica, doesn't know if he has any relatives in Jamaica and has spent his working life, with the exception of holidays, in the UK. And Homeland say they want to deport someone like him? Good luck on developing policies for Homeland but what is really needed is a purge of a lot of its membership who have gone the full ethno-nationalist route. We have black people who are patriotic and white English who hate this country yet the former would be deported and the latter allowed to continue to wreck the UK. It's bonkers.
Thanks for being a sane voice in an increasingly insane world. I am encouraged to hear you are getting out and about speaking and making media appearances. I follow the Homeland Party in X but don’t seem to see much. Like you, I have to cut myself off occasionally otherwise I find it too depressing. Best wishes for the New Year.
I posted this today on your father's blog Turbulent Times:-
"You cover a key ingredient to this atrocity in your 19th paragraph which is that asylum seekers in our country have used the ruse of converting to Christianity to assist their application to stay.
Never has this issue, of mostly illegal economic migration, shown up the blatant incompetence and utter weakness of our government and also those in other European countries.
The 'People' have every right to feel completely let down and very angry and while the main blame lies with our politicians the MSM must also take a large slice of the criticism for shying away from calling out these attacks and killings for what they are, jihadist terrorist murders, and used their platforms to attack politicians and governments for their gross failure to protect their own citizens.
If the 'People' want change they better start making their voices heard or the floor will be left to the Far-right and that will only distract and not help with resolving this problem which is currently set to get worse."
If the Magdeburg Christmas market attacker was a doctor he was apparently the kind of immigrant needed in the West. The confusion thickens.

Needing immigrant doctors may be reprehensible but training doctors takes time.

Why didn't the Magedeburg attacker ram one of the many gatherings of Syrians and pro-Palestine rallies?
Merry Christmas Peter. Looking forward to your 2025 output.
It was you whose blog I read religiously during the post brexit referendum turmoil wasn’t it?
Merry Christmas from County Durham 🎄
Happy Christmas Pete

I'll email you when done.
