Nazis denounce ‘life in multi-cultural Britain’

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“Multi-culturalism might mean a variety of charming ethnic restaurants for the Islington ‘in-crowd’ but for the vast majority of the indigenous population the mass importation of people from all corners of the globe to act as cheap labour has been an unmitigated disaster. For some unfortunate families in housing schemes across the land, multi-culturalism has made their lives living hell.”

The BNP spews out more filth about “how terrible life can be on housing schemes where whites have to live cheek by jowl with young Muslim thugs who are clearly intent to carry out ethnic cleansing of the unbelievers from what they consider to be ‘their’ areas”.

‘A monster of our own making’

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“These British bombers are a consequence of a misguided and catastrophic pursuit of multiculturalism”, according to the Observer‘s strap to an article by William Pfaff. The author explains:

“A half-century of a well-intentioned but catastrophically mistaken policy of multiculturalism, indifferent or even hostile to social and cultural integration, has produced in Britain and much of Europe a technologically educated but culturally and morally unassimilated immigrant demi-intelligentsia.”

Admittedly, this is only one point in a rather rambling article – but it’s evidently the point the Observer wants to highlight.

Exploiting terror and death for bigotry and hate

Exploiting terror and death for bigotry and hate

By Ken Livingstone

Morning Star, 30 July 2005

The central pressing issue facing us in the wake of the bombings and attempted bombings in London over the past weeks is of course to apprehend those involved.

This is the issue that every Londoner, from tube driver to city banker will expect to be addressed.

But one issue that remains vital – and not at all unconnected to the task of stopping terrorism – is to stop the bombings from being used to promote bigotry and racism in our society.

In particular there is now a sustained campaign to use the bombings to attack the advances we have made against racism in our society by blaming multiculturalism, “diversity”, immigration, and even the “political correctness” of the police.

Al-Qa’ida aren’t behind these bombings

Posted on by Bob Pitt

James Harkin, writing in the Independent (1 August), tells us that Al-Qaida is not a centralised worldwide organisation. Now there’s a revelation. He continues: “Turning the spotlight on Al-Qa’ida is a convenient lie. It helps us to avoid the uncomfortable truth that the London bombs were only the most poisonous fallout from the pallid recipe of multiculturalism, and its failure to inspire our ethnic young.”

Crick hits out at call for ‘Britishness’

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Bernard CrickThe UK government’s former chief adviser on integrating immigrants into British society has attacked attempts to denounce multiculturalism in favour of promoting “Britishness” in the wake of the London bombings.

Professor Sir Bernard Crick, who until his resignation three months ago was chair of the government Advisory Board on Naturalisation and Integration, said he was “pretty pissed off” over comments condemning multiculturalism made by Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality, and the former Home Secretary David Blunkett. He added that any attempt to promote Britishness in its place could make Muslims feel threatened in the current climate.

‘Resist this culture of anti-British segregation’ – Observer columnist

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“I found myself resenting the idea that one group of people had removed themselves from the values that I admire about Britain, regardless of the level of tolerance and generosity offered to people of all faiths and backgrounds. Not only have some Muslims wilfully detached themselves from this great and ancient democracy, but they are actually opposed to it….

“It’s difficult to say how liberal democracy persuades such a large number of people to share its values, but I do know that we have to examine the processes of segregation which have been allowed to grow in the last few decades. For which reason I support – and urge others to do so – Ruth Kelly’s backing for Denbigh High School in Luton, which is fighting a case against a young woman who wishes to wear strict Islamic dress as her human right…. let’s be candid, we have to look after the things which make us a single, coherent society.”

The liberal press joins the assault on multiculturalism.

Britain ‘taken for suckers by the Muslim immigration wave’

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“Our English cousins are getting a brutal lesson in reality: Multiculturalism will kill you if you don’t watch out…. Public opinion in Britain, in fact, appears to be saying enough, already. There’s a growing consensus that the British have been taken for suckers by the Muslim immigration wave that has overwhelmed the sceptr’d isle…. The one-sided celebration of diversity is beginning to grate as well. Julie Burchill, a columnist for the Times of London, notes that ‘English toddlers are being forced to celebrate the Muslim festival of Eid when they are still trying to get their heads about the Easter bunny’.”

‘When will you Brits wake up?’ French journalist asks

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“In the ten years I have lived in London, I often wondered when it would happen. I don’t mean when British-born suicide bombers would blow themselves up, killing dozens of their fellow citizens – I would never have thought that possible – but rather, when British multiculturalism would finally show its inherent weaknesses.

“France and Britain have always had opposite views and policies about foreigners and their integration into society. British people often fail to understand the underlying principles of the French approach, prefering to brand it as intolerance, or even blatant racism – as, for example in the recent headscarf ban.”

Agnes Poirier of the French “leftist” newspaper Libération – who goes on to argue that “The message to Muslims has been, in effect, that it is all right for them to be a separate country-within-a-country” – joins the right-wing campaign to blame the London bombings on multiculturalism.

London bombings due to lax immigration policies, multiculturalism (it says here)

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“Sadly, many metropolitan leaders seem less than prepared to meet today’s current terrorist threat head-on, in part due to the trendy multiculturalism that now characterizes so many Western cities. Consider London’s multiculturalist Mayor Ken Livingstone, who last year actually welcomed a radical jihadist, Egyptian cleric Sheik Yusuf Qaradawi, to his city….

“In continental Europe, multiculturalism has been elevated to a kind of social dogma, exacerbating the separation between Muslim immigrants and the host society. For decades, immigrants have not been encouraged or expected to accept German, Dutch or British norms, nor have those societies made efforts to integrate the newcomers. Not surprisingly, jihadist agitation has flourished in Hamburg, Amsterdam, Madrid, Berlin and Paris as well as London.

“If cities are to survive in Europe or elsewhere, they will need to face this latest threat to urban survival with something more than liberal platitudes, displays of pluck and willful determination. They will have to face up to the need for sometimes harsh measures, such as tighter immigration laws, preventive detention and widespread surveillance of suspected terrorists, to protect the urban future.

“They will also need to institute measures that encourage immigrants to assimilate, such as fostering greater economic opportunity for newcomers or enforcing immersion in the national language and political institutions.”
