Tremors of discontent among the English

Today the Telegraph and the Daily Mail both carried a turning-worm story about a government study into attitudes by ethnicity towards the country generally and public services in particular. The interesting finding is that the attitudes of “whites” - a group which may or may not be synonimous to the English - and of all non-whites are growing divergent.

This is good. This is the beginning of a zeitgeist of rejection. No doubt it is influenced by the current poor economic outlook. But minds are made-up and attitudes will only harden. Labour and the Conservatives issue their regulation calls for unity, but it is a total waste of breath.

From the Mail:-

One third of whites claim they are victims of racism A growing number of white people believe they are the victims of racial prejudice in Britain, official research has found.

Almost one in three - 29 per cent - said they now expected to be treated worse than other races by key public services.

And the number of whites claiming to have been refused a job or discriminated against at work for reasons of race has doubled in the last five years, according to the Government study.

Seven per cent believed they had failed to win a promotion because of their race, up from three per cent in 2003.

Three per cent alleged they had been turned down for a job for the same reason, up from one per cent.

In addition, the study reveals that most ethnic minorities living in Britain feel stronger ties to the nation than whites.

One in six white Britons feel only a slight sense of belonging to the nation.

Whites also now feel less able than other ethnic groups to influence decisions affecting their local area and the country as a whole.

For example, 41 per cent of black African, 36 per cent of Bangladeshi and 35 per cent of Indian people feel they have a say in decisions affecting Britain, compared to 19 per cent of white people.

The survey of 15,000 people - ordered by Communities Secretary Hazel Blears - is likely to prompt a fierce debate about the disillusionment of the white majority.

The Tories blame Labour’s race relations strategy.

Tory communities spokesman Baroness Warsi said: ‘It’s no wonder more people feel there is an increase in racism when Labour’s multicultural industry is forever talking up what divides us rather than concentrating on what unites us.’

The research found that overall, whites are more likely than those from ethnic minorities to believe that racial prejudice and discrimination is getting worse.

Fifty-eight per cent said they believe there was more racial prejudice now than five years ago, compared to 44 per cent who were interviewed in 2001.

The figure for ethnic minority communities has hardly changed, at 32 per cent.

The survey found that 29 per cent of white people expect to be treated worse than other groups by at least one of eight public services, including the police, prisons, courts, Crown Prosecution service, probation service, local housing organisations, schools or GPs.

Whites identified council housing departments or housing associations as the most likely to discriminate against them.

The proportion of members of ethnic minority groups who expected to face discrimination from one of the eight bodies fell from 38 per cent in 2001 to 34 per cent.

But it remains higher than for white people in many categories, particularly the police.

Tory MP Greg Hands, a member of the Commons communities and local government select committee, said: ‘It’s a dangerous phenomenon if any part of the population feels they are being systematically discriminated against.’

Overall, 84 per cent of people felt they belonged strongly to the country, including 45 per cent who said they belonged very strongly.

However, nine out of ten Pakistani and Indian people said they felt a strong sense of belonging, compared to 84 per cent of whites.

JWH asks “why this white discontent is not translated into sociopolitical success?”

“Why this white discontent is not translated into sociopolitical success?”

I have pondered hard and long over this question ever since last May’s London elections, where the BNP failed to capitalise on the discontent suggested in these polls. This discontent was massively harvested by David Cameron’s so called ‘Conservatives’. Why was this?

The ‘people’ behaved politically as they always had, IOW, they voted for change in their traditional beliefs of old style politics of Left and Right, but we here know different, politics has changed - we don’t live in Kansas any more.

Western politics have become an increasingly corrupt, transparant scam. Sometime in the last 20 years, Western politics has undergone a fundamental change where there has been a convergence of the party political system, where, on the most important issues of the day, there is no significant difference in policy, it is only in delivery and style and colour of the old labels - that any difference maybe perceived.

I do not intend here to articulate why this has come about as there are others here who are much more qualified than I, suffice to say, the aware among us believe that this political convergence is indeed so.

Sadly, the ‘people’ out there have not detected this change, hence they continue to vote in the same old way, still trusting the system will deliver change. They seem oblivious to the MSM’s continuous, relentless barrage of manufactured competitiveness (difference) in order to sustain the illusion of political choice, for how much longer this can continue is an interesting question.

The whole scam’s success depends on the media for its very survival, (as does RR) There is no sign of let up in the media’s efforts in fooling the ‘people,’ all of the time and the ‘people’ show no signs of falling scale - I suspect this will occur within a relatively short period of the soon to be Cameron tenancy, where they will see no difference between Blair/Brown and Cameron. Indeed, I have been foolish enough to predict that Cameron will not last more than two years into the job, after which, the BNP should hopefully reap their reward.

Having said all of this, we have to add to the woes of the ‘people’ the psychological straight jacket of political correctness, where voting for the BNP is a heinous crime in itself, add to this none discrimination, relativism, tolerance, multiculturalism, hate laws, marginalisation, discrimination, affirmative action, (add your own) and it is no wonder the ‘people’ are reticent in voting for the BNP.

But until they reject all of this nonsense and convince themselves that they are normal,, then nothing will change.

Now that it is becoming evident that “different ethnic groups within the European continuum, ...are not only cultural, but to some extent biological entities…” it provides further credence to Professor Andrew Fraser’s assertion of the evolvedextended English phenotype.

Over time, individualistic social structures encouraged the emergence in England of the common law of property and contract and, later still, the emergence of impersonal corporate forms of business enterprise, all requiring cooperation between strangers. ( “non-kinship based forms of reciprocity.”)The distinctive culture that emerged from the interaction between the genotype of the English people and their environment can be understood as what Richard Dawkins calls an extended phenotype. [31] Like the spider’s web or the beaver’s dam, the, extended phenotypes of Western civilization are part of a biocultural feedback loop linking our genes with our environment over countless generations. [32]

In conjunction as man progresses through civilization, as Darwin pointed out, the incidental trait of sympathy has grown wider; extending beyond the nation, to men of other nations and other races…and finally to all sentient beings.
