Would you trust a Tory?

By Frederick Dixon:

Remember those dim and distant days of yore (well, last May actually, following UKIP’s victory in the Euro elections) when we were told that the Westminster elite “got it”, that they had seen the “elephant in the room”? The elephant that they now said that they had got was, of course, the public concern about immigration which had so greatly contributed to UKIP’s victory.

Doubts about the sincerity of our rulers’ conversion to immigration realism soon surfaced when Ed Miliband managed to make the closing speech at the Labour Party conference without mentioning either the deficit or immigration. This much derided mess was put down to his decision to do without a tele-prompter – pride goes before a fall – but we all know that the real reason why he didn’t mention immigration was that it didn’t occur to him to do so; if this son of immigrants thinks of it at all he no doubt considers it to be quite a good thing to make England as un-English as possible.

The Tories and their press puppets pounced with glee on Milliband’s omission, which makes it all the more remarkable that David Cameron has decided to omit both immigration and the EU from the list of Tory priorities for the forthcoming election campaign. It is that list which will inform the direction of the government should the Conservatives be re-elected, in which case we must not expect immigration to feature prominently in the actions of a new Conservative administration. It’s a remarkable omission because Cameron’s failure to secure a majority against Gordon Brown’s dreadful government is widely believed to be due precisely to his refusal to campaign on an issue which was then, and is still, at or very close to the top of public concerns, and now he’s doing it again. Brave or foolish? – the dividing line is a very fine one and we shall soon see where he has come down.

A remarkable decision, but not inexplicable. Cameron probably calculates that there is no point in trying to ‘out-UKIP’ UKIP. Nor will he want to give another hostage to fortune like his pledge to reduce immigration to the tens of thousands because he knows that he cannot deliver. He can do nothing about immigration from the EU because the EU won’t let him, he cannot do very much about most immigration from outside the EU without offending the ethnic minorities whose votes the Tories have now decided that they must pursue. So in reality the only immigrants whose numbers have been greatly reduced under this government are white Commonwealth citizens of British descent because no-one is going to scream “racism” on their behalf!

The fundamental problem with politics in Britain is that it has fallen into the hands, whichever party is in power, of those who have no love for our country as the homeland of a very particular people, of her ancestral population. To them, even if they are not mere internationalists for whom the very existence of nations is an impediment to the realisation of their fearful one-world fantasies, Britain is a mere economic unit or, at best, a “proposition” nation membership of which is dependant not upon ancestry or culture but upon allegiance to institutions such as the Monarchy.

Because, therefore, of the bankruptcy and dereliction of our political class, the task and duty falls to us to create a parallel society and parallel institutions based upon the principle of kinship and thus to regrow the nation in our own image.

Trust a Tory? Never!
