Tidal surge approaches English Channel. BBC’s Newsnight holds “The Big Immigration Debate” Tonight, as the Environment Agency warns of a three-metre storm surge hitting the east coast, another unwelcome ingress is to be debated on a simultaneous BBC TV and radio broadcast. The Big Immigration Debate, a Newsnight/Radio 5 Live production, is to begin at 22.30 hrs GMT. Which is NOW, more or less! Mainstream politicos and the inevitable panel of “experts”, including the steadfast Sir Andrew Green of Migrationwatch, will answer ... all the wrong questions. The first question is: Is immigration threatening British identity? A non-issue, since British identity does not exist. But a Newsnight poll reported 62% saying yes. The principal issues to be discussed in the Debate are: the government’s handling of immigration; the economic benefits; the impact on public services, and on social cohesion. The incorrigible John Standing sent Newsnight an e-mail asking “What will be the condition of the English people at the start of the 22nd Century?” You can hear the show live until midnight.

As yet, though, no reports of free council housing, television sets and membership of the Labour Party. 4

The question is stark, do the indigenous people of Britain think that all the lyrical waxing of benefits that immigrants bring to this country is worth it? The unavoidable truth is, Britain and it’s people will be engineered off this planet - is that a sufficiently good trade off for all those economic benefits. It is a simple enough question to ask. ——————————————————— :———————————————————————————— 368.

It is also clear, (palpably so) if anything was demonstrated in last nights programme, it was that one single 45 minute Newsnight programme is totally inadequate to do justice to this subject. It, (programme) barely scratched the surface. The BBC has got to bite the bullet, it cannot hold debates (about anything) without presenting a balancing counter view, last night was travesty. Immigration, as demonstrated in last night’s programme is a many headed hydra, there is a whole raft of concerns associated with immigration, there was no (or very little) reference to the following. Political Correctness.(within which censored framework) the immigration debate has been corralled. The feeling of loss of freedom in a once free land, especially freedom of speech. Marginalisation of British people, so much so they feel they have become second class citizens. The perceived injustices against the indigenous British people, perpetrated by the immigration factor. Anti race legislation which can land one in jail for saying the ‘wrong thing’ ‘Thought police state’ The perception (as only too clear last night,) all three political parties are pro immigration and have absolutely no consideration for the people who voted them into office. The perception by the British people of being under cultural attack, especially history, anti white, anti British, not only by government but by the BBC and whole media industry. These are just few points the British people feel incandescent about, which the BBC do not (or appear)to even recognise let alone address. I suspect the BBC feel the above is unpalatable, but it’s no good shooting the messenger. Until the British establishment take these complaints seriously on board I hate to think what the future holds for my children and grandchildren and the country. ——————————————————————- : ———————————————————————— Summing up, pretty standard fare for me - Christ! what a long way to go yet! But yet the most insignificant incident could spark a conflagration. May post again when collectected my thoughts. 5

Would it be enough, as some claim, to give back money-printing powers to the governments, rather than it to be in private hands? Post a comment:

First impression: not impressive. There was no depth, no exploration of principles. The intellectual level was disappointing, and I don’t think I learned a single new fact through the whole 90 minutes.
Sir Andrew Green did well, as one expects. But UKIP leader Nigel Farage, in the Five Live studio, was the star turn. He was lined up against two very weak opponents, and given several golden opportunities to turn the evening into a UKIP party political broadcast. Which he took.
It was, of course, dishonest of the BBC to feature UKIP - an anti-EU party - on an immigration debate. It is the BNP, not UKIP, which speaks for the interests of the indigenes. With Griffin absent, Damian Green, the Tory spokesman in the Newsnight studio, felt able to defame the BNP as “nasty, racist, xenophobic”. One hopes he diminished himself in the eye of the viewers, if that is possible.
The foreigners who rang in were also quite plain-speaking, several saying that Brits are not welcoming - which is good news.
By contrast, the geat preponderance of the Brit callers, though highly dissatisfied with the state of affairs, were at pains to explain their tolerance and open-mindedness. Every single one prefaced his or her remarks with the assurance that there was “no problem” with people coming to this country. They then explained their problem with people coming to this country. Not one had a good word to say about the Labour Party, of course. A couple spoke up for the BNP.
