http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/9831912/I-feel-like-a-stranger-where-I-live.html Quote: 'I feel like a stranger where I live’ As new figures show 'white flight' from cities is rising, one Londoner writes a provocative personal piece about how immigration has drastically changed the borough where she has lived for 17 years I'm sure we've all been to places where we feel an alien on the streets of Britain, but where I part company with this slightly whining journalist is her closing paragraph.. Quote: It’s sad that I am moving not for a positive reason, but to escape something. I wonder whether I’ll tell the truth, if I’m asked. I can’t pretend that I’m worried about local schools, so perhaps I’ll say it’s for the chance of a conversation over the garden fence. But really I no longer need an excuse: mass immigration is making reluctant racists of us all. It is not racist to live in an area where people share your values and aspirations. It is not racist to be resentful of neighbours with no wish to integrate in a British way of life. It is not racist to be infuriated that religious vigilantes are harassing gays, birds and drinkers on our streets. It is not racist to question the impact of recent immigration on the British way of live. Until these middle class hand-wringers separate 'immigration' from 'racism' we cannot have the debate about immigration. |

It's a really sorry state we have got ourselves into and I feel sad for the younger generation who will no doubt have to put up with a load of strife in a generations time. I can see a mini civil war erupting in towns and cities across the UK |

maybe had we lost WW2 with Germany, things would have been a whole lot better now. I know that is a terrible thing to say, but the main enemies to our Country come from within, with thousands that paid the ultimate, have been betrayed, for a short time gain. We have been sold down the river no question about that.

It's all right for the elites in their ivory towers to wibble on endlessly about 'multiculturalism', but in the real world, people are by nature somewhat suspicious of outsiders, but as long as they don't feel overwhelmed and threatened, they will accept said strangers. The problem over the last decade has been the relentless tide of immigration from many and vastly different cultures, and that is what has caused so much problems. Immigration to the UK is now vastly different from what went before. Historically, it would be a surge of immigration from a discrete group that would quickly disperse into the general population and tail off. Now, we expect local people not to come to terms with just one new culture in their midst, they have to come to terms with dozens or more simultaneously, and even more problematic, many of these new incomers bring their own rather intolerant racism with them. Think not? Eastern Europeans feel no compunction with using the sort of casual racism towards black people that passed into socially objectionable decades ago in this country. The various factions from Africa often hate each other with a quite literally lethal vengeance. It's an explosive mix, and the new kid on the block is ghetto-isation where these newcomers, who tend to be at the bottom of the opportunity block, are trapped into inner cities in their little enclaves with either no intention or opportunity to escape. Enoch may have been talking nonsense when he alluded to funeral pyres etc with the wave of immigration in the 60's, he was wrong. Most of them have moved on up and out and made good, but we will have a problem with our inner cities in the not too distant future, a future that will be increasingly of no go ghettoes with routine recreational rioting. So here we are Hillingdon as a Borough now has over 30% of its population who were not born in the UK, of them 14% have lived in the boro less than 10 years so can be termed new arrivals The figures can be garnered here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20672090 Ealing is almost at 50% Brent has tipped way over that. Attachment: Hillingdon.JPG [ 127.07 KiB | Viewed 5001 times ] Of the people who have allowed these massive tides of immigration in the interests of diversity and this so called multiculturalism never have to live with the consequences of it. Lets take Cameron's Constituency in Chipping Norton + other parts of Oxford. The differences are very clear to see. Pretty much will apply to Blair who like Cameron will never have to fear any of this. Attachment: chipping norton.JPG [ 111.84 KiB | Viewed 5001 times ] Multiculturalism is now proved to be a massive failure. I can see civil strife in the streets NI style if as did happen twice in the 20th century we have to raise a conscript army to defend the nation. The ghetto's will take up arms rather than integrate and fight for the Country. |

Yet they still come back for your vote, how any Brit could ever fall for that again is beyond me, yet now the Tories have a strong anti brit section, I just hope and pray the Electorate will wake up in time at the next general election, and come out and vote, and end this farce of democracy where the policy is carried by 40% of the 40% that bothered to vote,   how on earth is 36% a forum to elect for 100% of them that can vote, plus the 60% that cant vote be called a democracy????
