Microcosm and Macrocosm

The successful bid for London to host the Olympics in 2012 was presented by the BBC and some other media as a great success for Britain. That is a perfect microcosm of how Britain is governed. A small group of people decided on behalf of seven and a half million Londoners to incur £12-£14 billion of expenditure, then spent a few million pounds trumpeting the fact to the people footing the bill.

Mass immigration into Britain is the macrocosmic example of exactly the same governing style. Try this on for size: 'With all the heat and noise generated by the immigration debate, its surprising to learn that there has never been a wide-ranging parliamentary inquiry on the subject... Until today.' That 'heat and noise' by the way, is the moronic blathering of us know-nothing schlubs who pay for everything and make the country run. But take a second to parse that last sub-clause. For most UK citizens, its message is neither surprising nor pleasing.

'The House of Lords Select Committee on Economic Affairs is not the highest profile body at Westminster. But it has dominated headlines by producing an in-depth analysis of what it calls "one of the biggest public policy issues in the UK". I understand from his arch tone of disdain that the journalist writing this doesn't agree that immigration is one of the biggest public policy issues. I'm guessing thats because he lives in the same kind of road in the same kind of suburb/village in the same kind of England as 99% of our MP's and ruling class. The one where jolly nice chaps in whites caper across the village/suburb green on Sunday having a spiffing game of cricket while their 100% white anglo-saxon audience clap them on with sober cheerfulness.

Those who take the decisions are hermetically sealed from their consequences.

Were that not the case, mass immigration would probably have lasted for three days in 1952 and never re-started. Human beings find it very easy to blank from their minds that which is worrisome and guilt-inducing. The great and the good in Britain have never taken responsibility for shoving millions of people from utterly alien cultures and religions into British society, with the myriad of different impacts that has had on poor white Britons. Much like the disgusting clearances of poor people from good sheep land in the high middle ages (participated in as joyfully by the Monasteries as by secular aristocrats), our ruling class can't see beyond the economic argument to the human cultural argument. On every side we see knock on effects of this- the fragmentation and abasement of white British culture, the massive benefits regime used as a palliative and opiate, the constant bashing of white Britons by employers and politicians, the Political Correctness regime that sees value and beauty in every kind of native tradition except British ones.

The peremptory and dictatorial instincts of our current rulers, the New Labour puritans, have had and will continue to have a dangerous impact on the relationship between rulers and ruled in these islands. Immigration is just one of the great issues where the interests of the rulers and the ruled are diametrically opposed. There are others of equal importance. Who will hark these words?

Here endeth the Jeremiad.
