leader on the left says it’s not racist to question mass immigration. that’s nice of him. innit?

During the week just ending, the leader of the Labour Party, or Liebour as Lyndon prefers and is most likely correct, a fellow named Ed (red ed) Miliband spoke out on immigration and confessed that his party had got things wrong.
He said that questioning immigration was NOT racist, and the use of that tag did nothing to solve the problem. Hmmmm. So far so good?  Well lets see.

Stephen Glover wrote in his column today that he didn’t believe Mr. Miliband has “grasped the enormity of Labour’s betrayal” and is far from accepting any policies that might work.
Here’s his headline and link. I am not posting the entire article.  I think you get the idea.

So Labour now says it’s NOT racist to debate immigration. What sick hypocrisy
By Stephen Glover
We should welcome Ed Miliband’s admission yesterday that Labour governments ‘got it wrong’ on immigration. It is certainly historic. Labour can never again claim it is ‘racist’ to say there have been — and still are — too many immigrants coming into this country.
But welcome though his speech was, it wasn’t nearly good enough. In the first place his admission of fault was far too muted. And in the second his prescriptions for dealing with the problem were at best half-baked and at worse cynical.
Labour’s mistakes were so enormous between 1997 and 2010 that its current leader should really have put on sackcloth and ashes. There were 3.5 million net migrants into this country in 13 years. It is not too much to say that an irreversible transformation in the demographics of Britain has taken place.

Among much else, it’s that word “irreversible” that’s so scary.

As I keep reminding people, this is an island.  It can hold so much but thanks to the politically correct policies of the Labour govt. and their left wing cheerleaders, there is far more at stake here and almost unchecked immigration has caused much strife.

Brits generally are willing to give a person a break and try to live and let live.  They are a nation of serious walkers, growers of flowers and tenders of truly beautiful gardens.  It’s a national passion.  People here open their gardens in spring and summer, sometimes a very small fee is collected for some local charity.  In our area for example, there’s a child’s cancer charity. These are not mansions of the rich and famous.  These are just ordinary homes with a nice garden that has been planted and designed and maintained by the individual homeowner.  And so a pleasant weekend can be spent viewing the many gardens throughout the neighborhood and surrounding area.  These aren’t bigoted cross burning Klansmen.  They are simply people mostly minding their own business and enjoying the company of folks with like interests. 

Well, until this week if you’d listened to the Labour Party and the rest of their loony left supporters, one might get the impression that a meeting of the people I described above was in actual fact, a secret meeting of the BNP at the least, and the KKK at the worst.
Anyone questioning or critical of the over immigration that has swamped this country, was labelled a bigot, a racist and accused of all sorts of words ending in ‘ist’ or ‘phobia.’
Lots of folks just didn’t want the hassle and had no time to defend themselves against ppl who already had their collective heads made up.  And Labour only made matters worse because ….

Little by little the face and the language and the customs and traditions of this country were seen by many to be marginalized.  The new religion of a country many thought to be Christian, had turned to the holy writ of diversity and multi-culture.
Many Brits openly said things had got to a point where they hardly recognized their own country.  A racist remark if ever the left heard one. 

There are about 300 different languages spoken in London alone. I have also seen a figure that puts it at 500.  That isn’t so bad and on the surface nothing to worry about.
But one problem that vexes is the many who just won’t bother to learn the language of their host country, while many come here and claim benefits.  And they also get translators to speak for them when it’s necessary or confronted by local authorities.
Like police and courts and city councils etc.
But let us not be too critical or we’ll be seen as …. ists. Or phobics.  Or both.

Ever see the languages printed on the forms for things like a driver’s license?
I’m from California originally.  I don’t hate or even dislike Mexicans. I was married to one a long time ago. But I suppose I’m an ‘ist’ if I ask reasonably I believe, What the hell is going on if a person can take a test in another language for a license?  Now maybe it’s only the instruction booklet that printed in Spanish but the test is actually in English.
That makes no sense.
Anyway, you folks in the states should see the multitude of languages printed on the forms here in the last census.  I wish I had a copy now.  I may have sent it to Drew.
I don’t recall.  But it’s far more then what you will find in my home state of Ca.

I’ve gone on quite a bit I know.  Just couldn’t help it. And after all, it isn’t my country. But I will tell you something you may already know.  What I see here is something that could as well happen in my home country. And we know it started awhile ago. I just don’t know how far it’s gotten. Yet.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
