LORD GREEN OF DEDDINGTON, the chairman of the think tank MigrationWatch UK, in evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee, has said that the UK's population will increase by a further three million by 2020, requiring the building of three cities the size of Birmingham, which would mean a level of yearly net migration into the UK of 600,000 between now and 2020.
Lord Green and MigrationWatch must be taken seriously. His web site is trusted by all sides of the immigration debate and Lord Green himself is no foul-mouthed bigot; which, no doubt, must disappoint many liberals who are unable to tar him with the Nick Griffin brush – in the past, although his prognostications have proven correct he has been distrusted by the liberalista within and outside the media, many of whom have questioned his interest in the subject of migration at all; as well as his motives in pursuing it and to what purpose he intends his findings to be put. In other words, such people hide a suspicion silenced by our laws on slander and libel – but around the Hampstead dinner tables, no doubt they are more forthcoming.
How often has it to be said? Migration is not the problem - however mass migration is the problem: uncontrolled migration is the problem: open borders are the problem. It is this that concerns Lord Green, as it concerns me. We should cherry-pick the brightest and the best from wherever they live, and in whatever corner of the world they come from to live and work among us providing they obey our laws and respect our customs, and not expect there customs to be put on an equal footing with the indigenous culture.
This is where multiculturalism has clouded a very important issue – the issue of our indigenous culture and its long-term survival under multiculturalism. We who share MigrationWatch's concerns must get our terms right. I will return to the issue of migration and the figures released to the commons select committee by Lord Green; but it is the ideal of a multicultural society that spells ruination: an ideology (for that is what it is) that made any scale of migration acceptable to those who believe in multiculturalism. Such apostles of this religion champion something they call diversity - numbers, it seems; do not matter; only the rainbow of different cultures that is to be celebrated by the multiplicity of different tongues and faiths brought to society. The trouble is of course that diversity and integration are sitting at the opposite ends of a magnetic pole and each repels the other.
NOW BACK TO Lord Green's observations to a commons select committee, regarding numbers and the warnings he gave them about the future of mass migration. But before I do so let me briefly put to one side the next five years that Lord Green suggests the UK population will increase by a further three million; and concentrate briefly upon what has already occurred in the past seven years since Blair signed us up to Schengen and its open border policy of allowing unlimited migrants from all member states of the EU into the UK. Written into Schengen, was a kind of settling in period for individual EU members, if they wished to take advantage of, it gave a period several years before each nation had to comply – Blair waved it away and insisted upon immediate implementation, resulting in an additional five million to our island population.
Since Blair opened his country' borders, all social aspects of our welfare state have been subjected to Blair's premature invitation to the rest of the EU to invade us and join in: the NHS, education and social and private housing; have all been put under everlasting pressure by the EUs open border regime.
Today the NHS is in deficit to the tune of billions (blamed by the liberal media on old farts like myself who have the indecency to hang around for far too long). There is no mention of the increase in the population from, particularly, Portugal and Eastern Europe due to open borders: the liberal media, particularly, but not exclusively, the BBC, never seem to attribute the NHS' difficulties to anything more than old farts like myself who, so they imply, are deemed a burden on the NHS. God forbid the increase in the migrant population should have any bearing on the NHS – but it has a mighty bearing not only on the NHS, but schooling, teaching and housing.
Lord Green's observations have to be taken seriously. We can no longer trust our own political class on the issue of migration. Better, on this issue, Lord Green than our main parties, who wave not the hammer and cycle, but a rainbow coloured flag of pure gullibility.
Those who support mass migration and open borders: those like well-meaning and emotionally driven liberals with little or no thought for the social impact their naivety will have on society in the future. Their sentiments stand with those of big business: the hard-headed (and on other occasions considered hard-hearted by the liberalista) capitalists who welcome open borders and migrants; they give opportunity to maximise profits through cheap labour. This unholy alliance between opposites will become quite combustible when the people say enough is enough.
Among the most vocal opponents of mass migration are not only the indigenous population, but also second and third generation ethnic minorities who also feel threatened by vast numbers added to our population over such a short time period. For as much as the Left like to paint opposition to mass migration as a racist issue –it is certainly not.
Lord Green controls the most trusted of statistics on this issue; and may he continue to do so. The social impact of the kind of migration we face, which combines the open border type with the vast refugee/migrant populations now landing on the shores of Italy and Greece, and from Eastern Europe via Turkey, serves as warning for the near future, and Lord Green is the Paul Revere of mass migration.
