‘sfunny the things you can use political power for

Posted by Guessedworker on Sunday, 17 April 2005 23:43.

THE government has secretly calculated there are about 500,000 illegal immigrants in Britain despite repeated claims by ministers that they do not know the scale of the problem.

The figure has been compiled by Home Office officials. Yet one of its ministers told MPs in February there was “no official estimate”.

The research was ordered by Tony Blair more than a year ago “as a matter of urgency” following a Downing Street summit on immigration, a confidential Whitehall memo reveals.

However, in the face of a political controversy over lax controls at Britain’s borders, experts involved were told not to reveal the figure.

So begins the lead article in today’s Times Online.

One quite expects governments to “finesse” or just hide inconvenient information.  In the public mind “secrecy” and “Whitehall” go together like peaches and cream.  But from what pain and discontent, precisely, are our wise and far-seeing rulers protecting us now?  Surely, they can’t fear that we shall resent the news of 500,000 illegal but always, of course, vibrant and diverse “saints” walking among us.  Why, they told us that kind of thing was a cause for celebration.  Isn’t it, then?


It’s not only small and light, it’s made of rubber

Posted by Guessedworker on Saturday, 16 April 2005 20:47.

You have to have a heart of stone not to crack a smile at this tale of death-defying baby-hood.  Thirteen-month old baby boy Lavonta Clark - mother Lawanda, sister Latonia (Bob Cosby would not be happy) -  “survived a drop from a third-story window.  Amazingly, a couple of scratches and a bump on the back of his head are his only injuries.”

The “drop” was inflicted by an 11-year old boy who had had enough of Lavonta’s crying.  You know how it is when you are eleven.  Crying baby ... open window ... end of problem.  Except this time the problem had its fall broken by bushes and cushioned by soft mud.  Result: Lavonta’s screaming even louder and you’ve got a new addition to the rap sheet.  But now you know why guns are good.

Mum Lawanda appears to have wandered away, possibly to “get some things together.”  She needed to give some money to her landlord.  It is not known if the things produced any money.  It is known that she had left her baby in the charge of the eleven-year felon’s aunt who ... well anyway, that’s the way they like to do things in Cincinnati.  From here on, though, Lawanda is going to “focus” on her son.  She would do well to focus on the 11-year old, too.


St Leonards-on-Sea unseen

Posted by Guessedworker on Saturday, 16 April 2005 08:49.

Last night I found myself explaining the facts of MR life to Birch of GNXP (see latter part of thread).  He had visited us armed with his co-bloggers’ rather puerile and, probably, resentful smear that we are a WN site - meaning a racist, hating sort of operation obsessed with race, race and nothing but race.

I don’t know whether I adequately dealt with this brickbat.  If not, I point the GNXPers and our own readers to the Telegraph today.  It offers a more wistful and eloquent reply by the splendid Charles Moore.  There, I think, one can hear the authentic voice of a mild and much put upon “majority”.

Moore himself concludes:-

There is, at heart, a simple reason why immigration has more than doubled under Mr Blair.  It is because Labour wants it.  Its current policy states: “Controlled and managed immigration is essential to the economic wellbeing of the United Kingdom and the health of the public services.”  This sentence sounds reassuring, but actually it is saying that mass immigration is a good thing. I do not believe that most British voters accept this.  It is high time it was submitted to a clear electoral test.

Alright, Moore’s little survey is completely unscientific.  Politically, it is not very deep.  It does not peel back the layers of blank slate egalitarianism which underpin Labour’s creaking model of Man, nation and race.  But it does shine a light into corners where party polling cannot and

does not wish to

venture.  We, of course, do.  It is our function to examine as best we can the sometimes hidden, oftimes ignored will and interests of the majority.

This is something that GNXP fundamentally opposes.  It is something, actually, that almost the entire political establishment of the western world opposes - along, as we know, with most of academia,  the mainstream media, etc.

They, though, are not in the slightest concerned to answer the question which Moore places in the mouths of those he encountered in the rain of St Leonards: “What can we call ours?”

“WN” or not, race-obsessed or not ... we are.


Random thoughts on P.D. James

Posted by Guest Blogger on Friday, 15 April 2005 06:22.

Browsing through an autobiography of authoress P.D. James, I was surprised to discover she is something of an Anglican traditionalist. She writes,

“The Church of England in my childhood was the national church in a very special sense, the visible symbol of the country’s moral and religious aspirations, a country which, despite great differences of class, wealth and privilege, was unified by generally accepted values and by a common tradition, history and culture, just as the Church was unified by Cranmer’s magnificent liturgy.”

As you might expect, she does not approve of recent developments within the C of E. She declares,

A victory for Hoppe

Posted by Guessedworker on Thursday, 14 April 2005 23:31.

I have long regarded the political correctness movement as a threat to all independent thought, and I am deeply concerned about the level of self-censorship in academia. To counteract this tendency, I have left no political taboo untouched in my teaching. I believed that America was still free enough for this to be possible, and I assumed that my relative prominence offered me some extra protection.

When I became a victim of the thought police, I was genuinely surprised, and now I am afraid that my case has had a chilling effect on less established academics. Still, it is my hope that my fight and ultimate victory, even if they can not make a timid man brave, do encourage those with a fighting spirit to take up the cudgels.

If I made one mistake, it was that I was too cooperative and waited too long to go on the offensive.

The closing words of a statement by Hans-Hermann Hoppe, professor of economics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, following his victory over a UNLV “commissar”.

Hoppe had been persecuted through the disciplinary machinery of the university for an entire year by this individual.  His sin was having twice failed, while lecturing, to take account of the feelings of a homosexual student.

The academic world - or that part of it that cares more for academic freedom than political correctness - rode to Hoppe’s defence.  UNLV was presented with a public relations disaster and, with some reluctance it seems, was finally forced to back down.


The Dutch showpiece

Posted by Guest Blogger on Thursday, 14 April 2005 13:17.

There’s been another survey showing a disintegration of Dutch national feeling. The survey found that 32% of the Dutch wish to emigrate and that only 51% feel proud of their country.

Why such negativity? According to the researchers, people complained about “political developments, multiculturalism, over-population, criminality and socially distant people.”

What makes this situation especially interesting is that The Netherlands has always been held up as a showpiece of liberalism. It is what we are all meant to be heading toward. And yet multiculturalism has already been so destructive of a sense of Dutch national community that a third of the population wants to leave.

Quote of the day (well, three or four of them actually)

Posted by Guessedworker on Tuesday, 12 April 2005 07:41.

... what “no-go area” generally means is that you can vote for Tweedle-left or Tweedle-right but all the great questions have been settled by transnational elites sufficiently insulated from your tedious parochial griping.

Mark Steyn, writing in today’s Telegraph.

Steyn is an interesting case.  He earns what must, in journalist’s terms be a substantial crust by extending both ends of the political commentator’s art.  On the one hand, he skits across the stolid affairs of nations and the works of powerful men with a delicious irreverence and lightness of touch.  Where serious political analysis should be are the acid truths and improper musings of a one-time student rag writer grown more skilled but also more comfortable and rounder of girth with age.  Thus:-

I’ve no reason to disbelieve the crop of polls showing Labour and Conservatives neck and neck, but, unlike American polling, where distinctions between “registered” and “likely” voters are carefully studied, none of us has any clear idea which unloved party will do the least effective job at further depressing the turnout of whatever unenthusiastic faction of its dwindling base is most unresistant to being cajoled to the polls.

On the other hand, as a beneficiary perhaps of the double detachment of being a foreign national and a Jew, he eschews the familiar petty battles of British political life in favour, amazingly, of the things that actually interest us.  So we get transnationalism over the cornflakes - the rude but oft neglected reminder that our votes don’t mean a damned thing.  If we did not know before, we are plainly told now:-

The Guardian complained yesterday about Michael Howard’s assertion that “for too many years immigration has been a no-go area for public debate”, and I sort of agree with them. It’s not that it’s a “no-go area for public debate”, but that you can debate it all you want and in the end nothing happens.

And:-

... the so-called public “indifference” to the royal wedding is part of a deeper fatalism toward British institutions and the British state. The Windsors have been wily adaptors to the evolving mood of their kingdom, but with the kingdom evolving itself clear out of business, who needs a king?

In the free and scandalously irresponsible cyber-world of blogging this sort of hard truth-speak is meat and drink.  We don’t get nearly enough of it in a mainstream that assesses the cares of the public no higher than a morbid fascination with bed-blocking in the NHS.  Where can one find a few more Mark Steyns?


Australia a holdout?

Posted by Guest Blogger on Monday, 11 April 2005 06:04.

I’m sometimes bemused when I hear people talk of Australia as being a possible last holdout for Europeans. It’s true, as John Ray likes to point out, that we have a stricter control over illegal immigration than America or even Britain.

But this is only to ensure that the massive legal migration programme continues undisturbed.

Look, for instance, at what we poor Melbournians had to wake up to this morning. Our Labor Party Premier, Steve Bracks, wants to make immigration the “centre of government policy” (the centre of state government policy, when the state government is not even responsible for migration).

He wants to use immigration to add an extra 700,000 residents to Melbourne to overtake Sydney’s size, and an extra 1,300,000 over the next 20 years to take the state’s population to 6,000,000.
