Demography is Destiny
The chart below is derived from the statistics published annually by the Office for National Statistics shows births by ethnicity in England and Wales in the two years of 2014 and 2019. None of these figures are a sudden blip; they represent a consistent increase, or decrease, or a “steady state” in the intervening years. You will see that the only categories to register a significant increase are “White Others” and “All Others”. White Others…
The Strangest Year
I doubt if anyone born since 1945 can remember a stranger year than the one now drawing to a close. For my parents’ generation, that which was young during the Second World War, everything was “before the war”, “during the war” or “since the war”. I wonder if, for those who are young now, the lockdown will become a similar time marker? Not only is a strange year drawing to its close, but so too…
National Mistrust
The American author, Bill Bryson, (“Notes From a Small Island” and much more) once wrote that England has the loveliest countryside of anywhere in the world, and given how densely populated the country is, and that it was the first country to industrialise, that is something of a miracle. As an Englishman I naturally agree with him. Appropriately, Bryson later became President of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, of which organisation see more below.…
The New Masters
There are quite a few facts and figures in this article, and figures in particular are not everyone’s thing. But they’re important because they paint a picture of how our country is changing to the disadvantage of our people, so bear with me. You may have seen reports recently to the effect that ethnic minority workers under 30 now earn on average 5.5% more than White British workers in the same age group. Among workers…
It’s Them Again!
I think this is my fifth piece about the Markles – the idiot prince and his appalling wife. So apologies if I seem to be getting a bit obsessive about them. Maybe I am, but it’s worth it because they represent much of what is wrong with our country. I use the word “represent” deliberately because that is what Royalty is supposed to do – represent the country and the nation. It seems, moreover, that…
It’s a Fishy Story, Gary, a Fishy Story!
Recently the humanitarian aid group, International Rescue Committee, released a promotional video promoting the cause of migration into Britain with the bold claim that we’ve “got refugees to thank for” our nations favourite take-away dish of fish and chips, and with the spurious punch line, “Britain wouldn’t be Britain without refugees”. The video, starring BBC Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker appears to ‘drive a coach and horses’ through the public relations initiative recently…
Divisive? Yes, More Please.
There has been no shortage of speculation in the media about the post-Covid world. Will the recovery be U – shaped, V – shaped, or even L – shaped? Will unemployment double or treble when the furlough scheme finishes at the end of September? Will people go back to their offices in sufficient numbers to save all those city-centre coffee shops and sandwich bars which depend on commuter trade, or will most prefer to continue…
All is Race
The fairy tale may not have ended, but it has taken a staggering blow. I write of course of the place in our monarchy of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. At the time of their marriage and subsequently, when young Archie was baptised, a number of articles appeared on Western Spring * deploring this mixed race relationship. Most particularly we drew attention to the main stream media’s quite disgusting grovelling at the feet of…
Black Good, White Bad
It wouldn’t surprise me to find the words “Black Good, White Bad” heading an article about the Labour party’s “Race and Faith” manifesto for this forthcoming election. Not when the Labour party is headed by a known Anglophobe who befriended the IRA when it was murdering hundreds of his fellow countrymen. It is, though, a great pity that the launch of this manifesto last Tuesday should have been so overshadowed by the storm about Labour’s…
Some Choice!
Are you one of the lucky ones with a racial nationalist candidate to vote for in the forthcoming general election? No, thought not. As far as I can see none of our parties are putting up candidates, but please let us know if you know differently. It may be that they haven’t got around to it yet, but if so then they will need to get a move on because nomination papers have to be…
