Nick Carter is everything the soon-to-be disappearing English majority of Leicester do not need in the editor of their local newspaper.  In his hands the Leicester Mercury is the messenger of multiculturalism and anti-racism.  Nick is profoundly dedicated to both and, as such, is the indefatigable enemy of majority interests.

He regards multiculturalism as the “basis on which our society is built” - a somewhat questionable claim, it must be said.  Perhaps he can plead in mitigation that he does not belong to that waning ethnic majority and doesn’t know any better.  Or perhaps he does and he does, but he is ideologically incapable of averring to the real foundations of England and the real people who built them.

He is no historian, in all fairness – and one should strive to retain one’s sense of fairness even with people like this, in fact especially with people like this.  He claims: “This country has been multi-cultural for a very long time.”  I am not absolutely sure when multiculturalism became our official religion.  I must admit, I thought it was rather recently.  But if Nick says it was long, long ago when Leicester’s housing estates emerged from the primordial mists and the first, of course, always vibrant immigrants drove out the neanderthals and built a mosque … well, he must be right.

In 2003 a leader of a Swedish gay rights group, Susanna Gustafsson, decided to “have a pash” with her girlfriend in a Stockholm restaurant. The restaurant owner asked them to leave.

John Ray recently contributed an article which claimed that in 1981 only 35% of the Australian population were of British origin.

As I mentioned in the comments, I find such a statistic difficult to believe, simply on the basis of my own everyday observations. Furthermore, the statistic needs to be taken seriously because if it were true it would undermine the idea that Australia once had its own distinctive Anglo-Australian (or Anglo-Celtic Australian) identity.

So I googled. I came up with two excellent articles, both from the kind of official sources which I think would satisfy John’s request for citations.

This Telegraph article, Labour’s immigration policy? Lots more of it by Alasdair Palmer, is indicative of a problem affecting all political commentary on the topic of immigration: nobody will say the real reason why mass immigration is happening.

Tim Gillin has drawn my attention to this service, Migration Dialogue, and its subscription newsletter, Migration News.  Both are run by Philip Martin, Department of Agricultural Economics, University of California, Davis, California and tend, therefore, to have an agricultural focus.  The newsletter is free of charge in electronic form.  Reporting is politically neutral, insomuch as anything can be said to be so.  Which at least leaves us something to do!

When most people think of slavery they probably have an image of a white slave owner and a black slave. This is the picture of slavery we have been given through countless books, films and TV shows.

It’s an image which fits in well with left-wing theories that white men have established a dominant power structure which oppresses other races, and that therefore white society is morally illegitimate and must be deconstructed.

Up to now, the main argument against such a left-wing view has been that it was actually white men who ended the slave trade. This is a good and effective argument, but it now appears that much more ought to have been said against the left-wing view.

I heard about the shooting on the radio on Friday morning. A man had been gunned down in his Melbourne home during the night.

In today’s paper we get the full story. The victim was a man by the name of Jafar Heshmaty. He had left his native Iran, worked illegally in Greece, bought a Greek passport and then flown to Melbourne in 1989.

In Melbourne he was put in detention while his claim for refugee status was fought in the courts. He received support from the Baptist Church which organised protests and a Christian community sponsorship for him.

But after three years the High Court ruled against him because of doubts about his real identity. So he sought and received asylum in America instead.

“They indulge in all sorts of violent activities - killing, rape, extortion, theft,” said Emmanuel Chege, a 24 year-old botany student at Ambrose Ali university in the town of Ekpoma ...

“It’s all about supremacy and in a war that’s when the killing starts,” said Mr Chege.

Perhaps culture war on campus isn’t that bad after all.
