Windrush at 70 – The Traitor State
Seventy years ago today, on the 22nd of June 1948, the Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury with several hundred Jamaicans on board. Thus began something quite unprecedented in all of our history – the displacement of the native population of these islands, hitherto entirely representative of the human stocks of north western Europe, by peoples of quite alien origin. What was then “a cloud no larger than a man’s hand” now overshadows the whole sky…
Commonwealth or Common Woe?
I’m not sure whether or not the Commonwealth conference has quite finished yet. I thought it had, but then caught something on the radio the other day about a related function or reception, but as my interest in the institution is limited I didn’t really pay attention. Perhaps I should have, because this seemingly moribund organisation is coming back to bite us. It is not by coincidence that the conference was overshadowed by the Windrush…
Enoch – What if?
On the 20th April 1968 the Conservative statesman Enoch Powell spoke in Birmingham on the subject of non-White immigration from the Commonwealth, and although the current transformation of our country had at that time barely begun, this was already the subject of great public concern. He spoke of the rapid increase in the numbers of immigrants, of the soaring immigrant birth rate, of the harassment of White people in the inner cities, of the conspiracy…
Hearth and Home
A little while ago I posted on this website an essay about the alarming decline in the White British birthrate in England and Wales, which had fallen in 2016 to a mere 60.6% of all births. This percentage decline was due in part to ever swelling numbers of births to all the other ethnicities which have been allowed to take up residence in our homeland, but also to a year on year drop in the…
The Passion and Political Crucifixion of Mrs May
As Christmas draws near many among us who are Christians turn our thoughts to the birth of Christ, the story of the Nativity and beyond to Easter next year and the Passion, the story of the ordeal that Christ endured at the hands of the Romans, ending in his crucifixion on Mount Calvary, and it is this second story that has particular symbolism for we British at this time as we witness a passion play…
Dispossession
Dispossession of one people by another may follow a spectacular conquest and genocide event, or it may be a much more gradual process, a salami slicing accumulation of tiny individual losses which take a lifetime but which, by the end of that lifetime, has transformed society beyond recognition and in a way very much to the disadvantage of the dispossessed. This is the familiar “boiling frog” analogy – the frog doesn’t realise the water is…
The Land of Lost Content
Travelling on the London underground is usually an interesting way to observe “diversity”, but earlier this month I was too absorbed in a piece in the Evening Standard to pay much attention to my fellow passengers. The feature which had caught my attention was headed “Ben Fogle and the fine art of being English”. It turns out that Ben has written a new book: ” ‘we hit a funny obstacle today’ he said ‘the book…
Batten Down the Hatches
Max Musson’s article on the disastrous ineptitude of the Conservative campaign in the recent general election leads me on to explore one or two further implications of the debacle – and it was a debacle no matter how much Mrs. May’s supporters protest that she actually won the election – perhaps she did, technically, but we all know who really won it. In Paul Nuttall’s resignation speech he said that within eighteen months Ukip would be “bigger than ever”…
Brexit- Getting Down to Brass Tacks!
There is currently much talk of ‘hard-Brexit’ verses ‘soft-Brexit’, and with the Conservatives not getting an overall Commons majority in the general election, the talk is all about: how Theresa May wanted a hard-Brexit; how the result of the general election signals that the British people don’t want a hard-Brexit; and how so many in the Tory camp will revolt if Theresa May sticks to her guns and tries to negotiate a hard-Brexit. The truth…
Where Now for Brexit? – Laugh or Cry?
As we awaken this morning to a situation of political chaos, it is clear that following the historic victory for our nation when the British people voted for Brexit in 2016, the ‘deep state’ has successfully counter attacked leaving Theresa May’s Conservative government ham-strung and desperately looking to the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) for their support in forming the next government. As I have already previously explained, Theresa May did not need to call a…
