European Postcards from the Edge
Same sh*t, different country.
Europe is our ancestor, Europeans our bretheren. Immigration, our curse.

The great deception: Immigration 25 times higher than ever before

HonestThinking would like to recommend the Saturday Essay in Daily Mail of 21 April, written by Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the think tank MigrationWatch and former UK ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Syria. The essay begins as follows:
For many years now, the Government and the liberal Left's case for mass immigration has rested partly on their repeated assertion that Britain is a melting pot of different cultures - or as they describe it, "a nation of immigrants".
Our history, we have been told, is punctuated by regular waves of substantial numbers of immigrants to our shores; from the Romans to the Normans, from the Huguenots of the 16th and 17th centuries to the Jews of the 19th and 20th, in-comers have settled here over the centuries and have influenced the racial and cultural make-up of this country for the better.
The slogan was first promoted in Britain in 2001 by the then immigration minister Barbara Roche, who pronounced that "the UK is a nation of immigrants". This absurd claim will finally bite the dust with the publication today of an important new book - A Nation Of Immigrants? by Professor David Conway, senior research fellow for the political think-tank Civitas.

BRITAIN is losing its identity as a nation thanks to record immigration levels, a think-tank warned yesterday. Mass, unchecked flows into the country – especially under Labour – will soon lead to political breakdown, said Civitas. Fast-growing, segregated enclaves across the country do not accept our values. And the 7/7 bombers are an alarming example of how our stability is threatened by such groups, added Civitas academic David Conway. Thus begins an article in Daily Express.
