AFTER SEEING a poster stapled to a wall in the prison baring the message ‘Come to Bognor Regis’, the prisoner, upon his release, took up the posters’ invitation to pay a visit. Here he fell into his old ways and was arrested by the police. He told them about the poster with its invitation; since then other criminals have decided to visit and start a new life in Bognor Regis.
I should have mentioned that the prison and the prisoner are both Polish. Now West Sussex police say they are facing an increase in Eastern Europeans operating in the area whose criminal specialties are theft, burglary and perhaps human trafficking among migrant agricultural workers.
The local police say that 18 per cent of all crime is now being committed by Eastern Europeans. However, the police are unable to say whether the offending poster is one of many being pasted throughout Eastern Europe’s prisons. Nevertheless, they still feel that the one poster is evidence enough to explain the sudden influx of criminals from Eastern Europe into Bognor Regis.
I have no doubt that Bognor Regis is suffering an acceleration in criminal activity 18 per cent of which is due to the influx of Eastern Europeans. But the poster is neither here nor there, unless there is a proliferation of them throughout the penal systems of Eastern Europe - brought about, no doubt, by an over enthusiastic Bognor Regis tourist board.
A specious connection between a poster and a crime wave is not helping the West Sussex police’s credibility. They had a very serious story to tell about Eastern European criminals turning up in Bognor Regis; a story that could be repeated in towns and cities all over the country. In the Bognor Regis area alone, it is thought that some 6,000 Eastern Europeans have made it their home.
According to West Sussex’s police Inspector Bowman; 'Some of these individuals who are criminals in their home countries come over here and develop organised crime groups where they are making a huge amount of money.
'When they get what they think is sufficient they'll go back to their own country and build a big house.
'They have considered themselves untouchable, but that is not the case.'
WHEN OUR politicians decided to sign up to the Schengen agreement which allowed the flow of people from Eastern Europe into the UK, they did not (so it seems) demand safeguards such as refusing entry to anyone with a criminal record. When they allowed Somalis and Nigerians into the country either legally or illegally, the same restraint was never imposed on the former and proved hopeless when confronting the illegal’s.
This country has allowed the criminal fraternity from all four points of the compass to live among, what is fast becoming known as, our aboriginal population. There are criminal gangs, committing crimes that would never have been committed if it were not for the ignorance and complacency of our politicians who naively believed in a multicultural society built on diversity and protected by political correctness, and the almost medieval sounding ‘hate crime’.
The politicians will argue, as they always have, that those from Eastern Europe are only doing the jobs we British refuse to do. The answer was always simple. We British must expect to pay more for our vegetables if we wish to keep immigration at bay – or at least down to workable levels.
I take it that those farmers who employ such pickers are obliged to pay them the minimum wage? If so, then those unemployed British should be made to take such jobs instead of rotting away on the dole. Up until to now, the unemployed have felt they have the option of refusal. They have been lead to this believe by successive generations of politicians who have been frightened of imposing stricter measures on the unemployed.
Now, thankfully, we seem to have a system that removes benefit from any unemployed person who turns down more than one (or is it two) jobs. Surely, under such an arrangement, the picking fields of Britain could be populated (or even over-populated) by the indigenous unemployed instead of immigrants from whatever corner of the world.
CRIME AMONG the immigrant population never seemed to register as a concept with those politicians who, driven either by colonial guilt or a reckless idealism, invited to our shores millions of immigrants. They only see what they naively believe to be a harmony between peoples (like the old Coca Cola advert of the 1970s).
No such harmony is possible when the politicians, in full knowledge of their people feelings, continue to ignore them and allow the country to be ’swamped’, as Margaret Thatcher once described the influx of immigration into Britain.
The police in Bognor Regis have at least had the courage to identify ethnic minorities as those culpable for 18 per cent of the increase in the crime they are experiencing.
The police in Bognor Regis are, however, in a minority among their profession to target minorities and hold them responsible for an increase in any kind of criminal activity.
OTHER POLICE FORCES, instead of facing the criminal activities of migrants head on, are being trained in diversity awareness, gender awareness and homophobia; as well as anti-racism in order to create an atmosphere of welcome and pacification. In practice this means whenever a crime is committed on their patch; they have to proceed with a great deal of care, for accusations of racism by a suspect is taken very seriously by, in particular, the Metropolitan police, who have never lived down the charge of being ‘institutionally racist’ following the Stephen Lawrence case.
Today’s police forces are having to become an extension of social services. At one time the police services one and only preoccupation was to investigate crime and to catch the criminal. Now our policemen are either being sent on courses or are being taught during training to help administer a multicultural society.
We have become an attraction for all sorts of criminal activity from all sorts of countries. This island nation has protected itself from all forms of foreign invasion in its near thousand year history – if , that is, we date it from the our last invasion in 1066, when Normans defeated our earlier Saxon invaders.
In both cases the intruders had to fight their way in. Today such intruders from Eastern Europe are openly welcomed in the spirit of multiculturalism.
