THE LIB DEMS are in single figures in the polls well
behind Ukip; and they represent only a small part of a small liberal elite. Yet
we have Mr Clegg and Vince Cable attacking Cameron over his very limited
changes to EU immigration, such as the 75,000 cap.
Mr
Clegg, writing in today's Sunday Times
wrote; 'Sticking
a big no-entry sign on the cliffs of Dover may be politically popular, but at a
huge economic cost. What would happen if tonight every European living in the
UK boarded a ship or plane and went home?
'Are we really that
keen to see the back of German lawyers, Dutch accountants or Finnish engineers?
Do we want the NHS to fall over and the City of London to grind to a halt?'
No
one, not even Nigel Farage is proposing such a move. He mentions German lawyers
Dutch accountants, and Finnish engineers and asks us what would happen if all
Europeans living hear went back home?
Well,
you have to ask, why are these engineers and lawyers here in the first place?
They are hear, presumably, because they believe this country offers them better
prospects than they receive at home, in terms of pay and career advancement - for
why else would they be hear? Do the German's enjoy constantly being reminded of
the war as they walk around London and seeing statues of Monty and Churchill dotted about;
or the newly completed memorial to Bomber Command?
The
German's are hear because they need us as much as we need them, and we will
continue with such an arrangement. Clegg you may notice refers only to those with
skills; but he selects the very group who will always be welcomed by whoever
runs the country, including Ukip. There is a skills market, just as there is in
every sphere of commercial activity under capitalism. People will go were the prospects
for themselves and their families are most advantageous. In this respect this
country is more in competition with America than Europe.
The
NHS will indeed 'fall over' eventually; not however, because of a lack of
Europeans, but because of an excess of them, on top of migrants from other
parts of the world coming here. We then have the illegals who cannot be turned
away from the NHS. The truth is Mr Clegg, skilled workers will always be
welcomed in any capitalist economy, where energy and enterprise are rewarded.
Why for instance, have so many French men and women crossed the channel? It is
because Hollande , the French socialist president has punished the French wealth
creators by acts of state larceny.
The
only way the City of London (another Clegg gripe[1]) will grind to a halt; is
if it was put into the tender care of Brussels and governed centrally. As long
as the City of London is left to its own devices in a free market - it will
survive, but it will not survive within a political and monetary union; where
the euro-state will reign supreme and nation's will have been replaced by regions; where central dictate will replace
the free market.
ALONG SIDE Nick stands Vince Cable, who put in an appearance
on the Andrew Marr Show today. He drew (which come the morning news coverage he
may deny) comparison with what Cameron has been suggesting, on immigration,
with Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood Speech of 1968, which sent the 1960's
liberalarti into a tizzy of disgust - a disgust which has been passed down
through liberalarti folk law ever since, from sons and daughters to grandchildren
.
Cable
and I are both old enough to have seen Enoch perform. I was at the time an
18-year-old Marxist and was of course outraged by his Rivers of Blood Speech
delivered in April 1968. As the MP for Wolverhampton South West, he served his indigenous
constituents well. Most of the what are now regarded today as racist comments;
were in fact quotes from his own constituents that expressed their fears when
they wrote to him or attended his surgeries.
Vince
Cable knows nothing of the man because, like myself when young, the liberal Left were seizing control of the establishment
and were left prostrate by what they considered to be the 'evil' comments of
Enoch Powel[2].
Comments, taken from his 1968 speech; "We
must be mad - literally mad as a nation to allow the annual inflow of some
50,000[3]
dependents. It is like watching a nation
busily heaping up its own funeral pyre".
This
one simple sentence has tarred Enoch ever since as a racist. He of course was
no such thing; and may still prove to be, for the indigenous population, their
grand Messiah - an exemplar of the nation state that Europe seeks today to
remove from the European continent. But even Enoch could never have foresaw
what modern so-called political statesmen seek to bring about - the birth of a European super state.
As
next year's European election draws ever closer, the incendiary language will
come from the liberal elite. Ghostly chains will be rattled and fearful threats
made. The whole landscape of the country will be compared to a post nuclear disaster
area if we were ever to leave the EU. Like children being scared by talk of bogeymen; the British people will be scared by talk of millions of jobs and of
billions of pounds lost if we do not stay loyal the ambitions of Brussels.
Both
Cameron[4] and Cable are habituated
to the federal cause, and have, as such, closed minds. Cameron became part of
the Borg collective in Europe long before he became leader of the Lib Dems;
Brussels is a second home to him. I would no sooner trust his opinion than I
would that of those earlier fellow travellers who visited Soviet Communism in
the 1930s, such as George Bernard Shaw and the
Webb's; who helped destroy a generation of political prisoners during
that decade in the Soviet Gulags by
giving the Soviet Union such favourable reviews when they returned home.
Inspired
by socialist idealism, they ignored the reality of socialism. Just as the old Soviet system was a dystopian
nightmare built upon the ideals of Marx, so it will turn out to be the case if
Europe proceeds toward a Greater European dystopia based upon the idealism of
liberals.
I
am 63, and have learnt to distrust any kind of philosophical or political
idealism either from the Right or the Left; for it more than often ends in
tyranny. This country is overpopulated already, yet come next month, the entire
population of Bulgaria and Romania will have the automatic right to come to
this country and declare themselves to have as much right to live here as the indigenous
population - a right given to them by Brussels without the British people ever
being given a say: and it goes on and on without the politicians stopping to
draw breath and asking themselves whether what they are doing is wrong and
potentially dangerous to the nation's social fabric. Powell expressed it
perfectly. "Those whom the Gods seek
to destroy first make mad".

The liberals then, as they are today, still riddled with the guilt of the
British Empire.
