[indigenous population] now a question of survival [2]

Regarding this post from last evening, there are conflicting thoughts running through my mind. First, there is Wolfie's reply, when he says:

In comparison the UK is a Shangri-la of tolerance but thanks to deprecating weakness and naivety of the political left we are committing social suicide and in the interests of multiculturalism the totalitarianism that these refugees have fled will take root here on our shores to plague them once more. Western society has lost its nerve, its self-belief and we need to find it once again.

Then there is a conversation today between a client and myself. I shan't embellish it but tell it as near as I can remember. I don't get many over here reading my blog because the issues are not local and the language is a bit too difficult.

However, this time he knew the issues from last evening's post and asked how far I could trust what the woman had said. I said I trusted her but because I'd been over here 12 years now, I wasn't in a position to judge.

Him: But how did you let this situation develop?

Me: Personally, I didn't because I was over here.

Him: How did your people let so many in to the country?

Me: There's a virtually unrestricted policy and they come in in huge numbers – all the extended family, it seems - they settle in an area with a large population of the same ethnicity and expand. After some time, all the local services and shops like that butcher are changed to serve the new group's needs.

As you read yesterday, local government have to provide special housing for them, of higher quality and with no waiting list, unlike the indigenous population.

Him: But who exactly are they? Where are they from?

Me: From the Commonwealth countries, as long as it's not Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa – they don't want those coming in and taking British jobs – that's why they changed the patriality laws.

Him: But who? Who let them in?

Me: Technically Immigration and the FCO I think but I'm not exactly sure. Doesn't much matter because in the end it's Blair and Brown.

Him: Look, we don't have a democratic tradition over here but you do – aren't you supposed to be the cradle of democracy? So why don't you throw the government out?

Me: Not possible. It's not a democratic country. There are elections, as in Russia but they don't mean much.

Him: Come on!

Me: For a start, it's Prime Ministerial rule. The former chamber of review, the Lords - it's now been crippled and the members must now be elected which gives the PM enormous power. Secondly, there's no veto – the legislation can be sent back down but can't ultimately be rejected. The PM runs the show.

Him: So throw him out.

Me: Not possible. He's always in a safe constituency which has virtually never returned the other party's candidate. Technically the PM must come up for review every five years but he's only reviewed by the people in his constituency. The people of the country get no chance to review him. So they take it out on their local members elsewhere and the government changes from time to time but on fundamental issues like MPs' salaries and immigration, the parties are basically in agreement.

Him: So why don't the newspapers shout about it – you've got a free press.

Me: The press, which we call the MSM, is owned. Only articles in line with editorial policy are allowed. The blogosphere shouts all right but only a miniscule proportion of them are read by the wider public. The wider public is in a state of ignorance.

Him: But even so – something like a council providing council flats for immigrants and not the indigenous population must cause resentment.

Me: It does.

Him: So why don't local members raise it in Parliament?

Me: There are private members bills and they can, technically, ask questions but generally that's controlled. Still, Brown was asked about this.

Him: And?

Me: He stalled – he didn't directly answer and it all fizzed out into nothing.

Him: And so it goes on, an aggressive minority telling a community what to do.

Me: Seems that way but then again, I'm over here, not over there.

Him: If it goes on, there'll be civil war.

Me: I've been thinking the same thing. The Brit is a patient creature, to paraphrase Sherlock Holmes but when his anger is really aroused, it's not pretty.

Him: You know in Chechnya yesterday, the President decreed that wedding dresses cannot be worn lowcut any more.

Me: That's the type of thing the ordinary muslim is up against.

There was a dissatisfied pause. Then he resumed.

Him: But if the government didn't want them in, they wouldn't let them. I mean, if they really wanted to avoid this situation, they could do something about it. This is an alien culture to what you have.

Me: Of course they could stop it but they never do. People request political asylum – they're allowed in. Plus all the illegals.

Him: But that's madness. There'd be blood if they tried that over here.

Me: The Brit is soft. He's all into love and tolerance and multiculturalism and let's celebrate everyone else's festivals but our own and so on – they've been educated this way since the early 70s. So when an aggressive group organizes and demands things their way or you die, the Brit is all confused and doesn't know what to do.

They know they couldn't try it on in Russia and that's why Russia may have its problems but doesn't have that particular one. There's a really aggressive type of Islam over in Britain which there just isn't here. It peers through two eyeholes in a hijab and refuses to assimilate. That's because it thinks it's going to win the battle between the cultures.

Him: Wasn't there some politician years ago who warned you guys about this?

Me: [smiling] There was but no one listened. He was vilified. Besides, that was more about colour but this is religious. The thing is, you can't say anything because even the ordinary Brit labels you a racist. If you're talking about the average muslim and saying you don't like him and his habits, there might be a point to the accusation. but if you say the country is heading for civil war as a result of crazy government policies, you're still labelled racist.

Him: [low whistle] You guys have got problems.
