Mischief in the Shires?
By Max Musson: My interest was sparked this week when I opened a copy of my local free newspaper, the Northants Herald & Post to find an almost full-page article with a headline declaring “Refugees Welcome”, the suggestion being that the current wave of economic migrants invading Europe are welcomed by the majority of the citizens of Northampton. In fact the story underlying this article is of a married couple, James and Tracy Green, who stated…
The Migrant ‘Crisis’ – Some Further Considerations
By Max Musson: I obtained a copy of the results of a YouGov opinion poll taken during the last week of February this year and it was interesting to me that even before the current ‘migrant crisis’ had erupted as fully as it has now, 75% of the people polled stated they thought immigration has been too high over the last ten years, and it struck me that this viewpoint diametrically opposes the impression of…
Peter Hitchens Interview
By Max Musson: Sunday Mail columnist and author, Peter Hitchens, is not a racial nationalist by any stretch of the imagination, although he is a traditional conservative of a type who is completely out of place, not just within the modern Conservative Party, but within the spectrum of political opinion thought respectable by today’s mass media generally. His views on many subjects are sufficiently close to ours however to make his commentary on the state of modern…
The Nation and Immigration from the Standpoint of Economics
By Max Musson: For most people the concept of ‘our nation’ is inextricably linked to notions of common ancestry and common cultural heritage, and it is therefore understandable that most people are alarmed or at least concerned by the volume and extent of non-White immigration into Britain and more widely into other European countries from the Third World, primarily Africa and Southern Asia. Governments however have sought to allay this alarm and concern by playing…
Yvette Cooper in La-la Land!
By Max Musson: When politicians make stupid pronouncements such as that made yesterday by Labour Party leadership contestant and current Shadow Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, the least they could do is offer to foot the bill for the largess they so clearly wish to be seen doling-out! An old acquaintance of mine many years ago, once said that if we are to be forced by liberals and Marxists to have mass immigration into Britain, there…
‘Scramble’, in Defence of Our Homeland!
By Max Musson: As many in this country prepare to mark the 70th Anniversary of VJ Day, the allied victory over Japan which brought World War II to an end, the Daily Mail website features an absurd story claiming that many ‘Britons’ show a shocking lack of knowledge of the key events of that war and World War I that preceded it. Of course, any self-respecting member of the British public will have a good working…
Fair Trade for British Dairy Farmers!
By Max Musson: During the last few days dairy farmers in the UK have mounted a number of protests at supermarkets aimed at drawing attention to their plight in which supermarket chains that dominate the wholesale milk market in this country have been paying too little for the milk they produce. On average it costs farmers 16p per pint to produce milk, but they have only been offered 12p per pint by supermarkets, meaning the…
Invasion!
By Max Musson: In the news today is the story that a forty-year old Sudanese illegal immigrant, named Abdul Rahman Haroun, managed to evade all of the security precautions on the French side of the Channel Tunnel and walk the thirty-one miles from Calais to Folkestone before being picked up by British police. According to the Daily Mail’s editorial, this development highlights a greater danger than many of us might have hitherto realised: “… what…
BBC, BAME & Blonking!
By Max Musson: It was Greg Dyke, at that time Director general of the BBC, who stated in January 2001 that the BBC was “hideously White”. This statement came in an interview broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland that month, in which he compared the BBC to the Metropolitan Police, who had been branded ‘institutionally racist’ by the 1998 Macpherson Inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the murder of Black teenager, Stephen Lawrence. Dyke didn’t say that the BBC…
Greece is the way we are feeling!
By Max Musson: According to those who promote European union as an idealistic aim and those who promote the EU as the embodiment of that ideal, such a union is intended to be beneficial for all concerned – a state of affairs in which each member state is stronger and more secure because of the fraternal support provided by the others. However this does not seem to be working out too well for Greece in…
