Monoculture and David Starkey


SOMEONE CALLED TONY HUDSON, writing for politics.co.uk, has reported on comments made by our turbulent historian, David Starkey, during a debate on the teaching of history in our schools. During the proceedings Mr Hudson has Mr Starkey being reported as saying 'mono-culture'  is 'absolutely and unmitigatingly white' outside of London. The inverted coma and the hyphen dividing monoculture, were, I assume Mr Hudson’s own creation.
                Because earlier this year 77 people were killed by a deranged Norwegian who used the term monoculture; Mr Starkey’s use of the same word to support his point of view seems to have placed him, in some people’s minds at least, as someone who is empathetic to Anders Behring Breivik’s unhinged behaviour.
                Monoculture is as legitimate a term as Multiculture and the sinister inverted comas are unnecessary. Starkey is right; outside of London, the UK is a monoculture and has been so for millennia. It is only within London’s boundaries that such an expression can be regarded as in any way offensive. I do not know whether Tony Hudson lives in London or not; but if not he should  get out more and solicit the views of the people in whatever , village, town or city he lives in. For I can tell him, as an anti-fascist, that I am not upset by David Starkey’s comments. In fact I agree whole heartedly with them.
                We are still managing to hanging on to our white monoculture, despite the attempts via the multiculturalism of the liberal establishment to dissuade us through political correctness, and the use of the law (hate crimes).
                According to Tony Hudson, Starkey’s remarks ‘… are also likely to prompt anger in anti-fascist circles’.
                Who are these anti-fascist circles that Mr Hudson feared may be offended? For I know of no one who would describe themselves as a fascist.  Anti-fascist is a term monopolised by the Left, who believe themselves the only worthy possessors of the crown.
                Fascism is an ugly word for an ugly ideology. Because it is nationalistic in nature, does not mean that all nationalists are fascists. Fascism has also latent colonial ambitions that sought to  divide humanity on racial grounds. Believing that there are superior and inferior races of people that occupy this earth; the superior races (belonging to the fascist nations) should seek governance over the inferior peoples.
                I know of no one who fits such a description. But I do know many like myself who, like for instance, the Chinese and Japanese, wish to preserve their unique monoculture . I wish to keep England, at least, a monoculture. A culture free from having to walk on glass for fear of offending some minority or other: a culture that is proud of its history and wishes to teach it to each and every generation passing through its schools.
                Being a nationalist, which I feel comfortable in assuming David Starkey is, does not make one an automatic fascist. To have a love for ones country and its traditions and history, once made you a Tory as well as a nationalist. It does not, despite what modern liberalism (and it appears Mr Hudson) wishes, make one a fascist.

MONOCULTURE SHOULD be the riposte to Multiculture instead of becoming another iniquity in the liberal lexicon. It is not a matter of colour but culture. Since the previous government’s premature signing of the Shennen Agreement, which allowed hundreds of thousands of white immigrants to enter this country from eastern Europe; it has become as much a question of numbers as cultural diversity.
                If there are people throughout the world who are in fear of their lives who wish to seek asylum, then, if proved genuine, should be allowed sanctuary. Britain has always fostered such an arrangement. After all, did not Karl Marx and Lenin find a temporary home in London?
                Monoculture should replace the infamous inanity of multiculturalism which  only exacerbates the differences between minorities, leading, at sometime in the near future, to open conflict on our streets. If minorities cannot accept the culture they have chosen to live within, then they must move on. For the culture they live with is an English culture which they must learn to accommodate themselves  to; just as any white English man or women would have to accommodate themselves to  Indian, Pakistan or West Indian culture; should they visit or chose to live in such countries. Why must we be any different? Why must we be called racist for wanting to keep our culture the preeminent one which those from all racial minorities must adapt to or leave.
                David Starkey is right and should keep on saying the things he does. Tony Hudson, on the other hand should refrain from implying that fascism is a uniquely Right-wing disease. Did not the German Nazi party call themselves National Socialists…and with good reason?
                Both the Left and the Right have their extremes; and both extremes inflicted a great deal of misery on the previous century. Nothing in what Starkey says is extreme: it is an impassioned plea against that alienating ideology of Multiculturalism and its reductionist tendency of giving, under the banner of diversity, equal status to all cultures, including the host culture. This is the real extremism: and if it is challenged, either the word fascist or racist is banded about.
                If only Orwell were alive to see what is happening. We have the Multicultural credo of political correctness and the Orwellian sounding hate crime: and we are forced by law to walk on eggshells for fear of offending a particular minority. We will soon have to look over our shoulders before sounding off about immigration, in case a designated and inappropriate politically incorrect faux par is overheard by one of Mr Hudson’s anti-fascists, who then proceeds to do what he believes to be his civic duty, and report what he has overheard to the police.
                This is the real extremism, that overhangs the country today; and it will only get worse. So enjoy annoying your liberal opponents while you can Mr Starkey, because this particular horse still has a long way to run.
