Some months ago a good man with some powerful opinions quit the MR threads without apology or explanation.  He mailed me thereafter, and though in my own mind I had been quite content to assign him to that unloved and disrespected category of the semitically-obsessed, he has in fact forced me to re-examine my assumptions about him, about Nationalists and Nationalism in general.  And this he has done not through the force of argument but, unwittingly no doubt, by personal virtue.

I am, let it be said, a succour for personal virtue.  It does not count for much now, perhaps.  But in my formative years it most certainly did.  My generation was raised in the full awareness that one day we could, like our fathers and grandfathers before us, be called up to defend the nation.  It did not happen.  The New National Service Act, which came into being with peace in 1945, was ended in 1963 when I still only eleven years old.  A full and free life stretched before me and before all those of my wretched generation.

What we did with it politically, of course, is turning out before our eyes to be the most grave and final of treasons.  It is my self-indulgent generation – and no other – that has demeaned our nation as some kind of multiracial, governmentally administrated geographic unit excused by universalist “ideas” and “values”.  Suffice it to say that these fine liberal “goods” have absolutely no connection to the public and private virtues with which, for the most part, our parents and teachers attempted to imbue us.  In the fifties that much of Old England still remained, and I am grateful for it.

Sinn Fein/IRA’s long-awaited step towards peace has been taken.  It is not all it might have been, even for Blair and Hain - though there are plenty of positives for them to spin.  Unionists, ever wary, will say it is not enough, and they will feel fully justified.  The IRA continues in existence - it has not quite transmogrified overnight into a dewy-eyed Old Boys’ Club.  It is not decommissioning.  Its statement merely says:-

... our decisions have been taken to advance our republican and democratic objectives, including our goal of a united Ireland.

We believe there is now an alternative way to achieve this and to end British rule in our country.

It is the responsibility of all (IRA) volunteers to show leadership, determination and courage.”

... There is a compelling imperative on all sides to build a just and lasting peace.

A “just and lasting” peace, one might add, at the close finally ... perhaps ... of an unnecessary and monumentally unjust war of racial hatred.

The aggressor has declared peace without entirely, irrevocably removing the threat of future violence.  Its victims, such as those of the Claudy Massacre of 31st July, 1972 - commemorated in the bronze statue to grief featured in our banner today - know another peace.  Or, as survivors, they have had all prospect of peace taken from them.

If you are not an Ulsterman please take some time to study this website, and this one, and this.  They are educational.  Sinn Fein/IRA will doubtless go down in Irish Catholic history as partisan heroes, as if they had battled Nazi Germany these thirty-six years.  The reality of what they have done is profoundly different and as many of us as possible should strive to remember that.

Unlike those who stick with the MSM, MR readers know that liberalism, like love, is blind.  “Deprived children”, “rich and poor”, “inner city areas” ... the tiresome political trash-talk trips of the liberal tongue quicker - much quicker - than Chris Brand could say, “IQ?”  But it was ever thus, and will be so as long as blacks and Moslems live among us, and as long as our taxes can be so pleasurably squandered on them by people like:-

Ruth Kelly, the Education Secretary, will today admit that billions of pounds of Labour investment in improving school facilities since 1998 has failed to narrow the “class gap”.

In a speech to the Institute for Public Policy Research, she will signal a fundamental shift in policy away from investment in deprived schools, to investment targeted more specifically at pupils in those schools who need the most help.

Is ethnicity something merely external to our real nature? Are we essentially creatures who have the capacity to choose our own identity and our own affiliations?

This is the liberal outlook. I believe that this view is mistaken and that ethnicity runs more deeply in our nature than liberals imagine.

I’d like to illustrate this with two small pieces of evidence I’ve come across in recent days. The first is a small item from the Melbourne Herald Sun (11/9/2000) which caught my eye when going through my files.

My thanks to Anthony E for bringing my attention to this important anouncement in the current issue of Derek Turner’s splendid Right Now! magazine.  Further comment would be superfluous - save that, obviously, this needs to be encouraged in every possible way.

A campaign against mass immigration?

Immigration into Britain has grown massively, and millions more immigrants are expected in the coming years, along with further substantial alteration of the population.  Consequently, a considered, rational, non-party and broadly based campaign against mass immigration and multiracialism has been proposed. Dedicated volunteers are needed, to decide its name, to discuss its strategy, and to form an initial committee to turn ideas into action.  Please write, indicating your willingness to help and any organisational experience or abilities, to ‘Campaign against mass immigration’ (the name is provisional), c/o ‘Right Now!’, Box 361, 78 Marylebone High Street, London W1U 5AP.

This brief, perfectly straightforward post is not aimed at our readers from the political right.  For you guys it presents not the slightest intellectual challenge.  You may as well move on to more interesting things.  I wouldn’t want to waste your time.

No, this is a post for the seemingly growing little band of liberals – mostly, I believe, anti-English Searchlighters, quirks and leather fetishists – who frequent the blog these days.  I think we could throw in to our target audience the occasional passing GNXPer, too (though, as we all know, the GNXP boys are big right-wingers, if you entirely detach “right-wing” from the rest of the carcass and throw it in to the Indian Ocean).

You see, I’m trying to get somebody ... anybody from the left to give a straight answer to this perfectly straight question:-

Do you agree that European Caucasians should seek to secure their futures in their own lands?

Now, how hard to answer is that?  I mean, it’s not as though it demands a lot of post-modern mental acrobatics or the unpicking of super-obfuscatory sociology-speak.  It’s perfectly plain.  It means just what it says.

But so far, despite all my sincerest efforts, I haven’t been able to interest one liberal-minded educational genius, one proto-typical member of the Great and the Good, one morally superior son or daughter of the Enlightenment in giving me an equally sincere, unslippery reply.

So I am making a direct appeal – as always also appealing for civility and good humour, of course.

OK, the hook’s baited.  The line’s cast.  H-e-r-e fishy-fishy.

YouGov has conducted a very revealing poll of British Moslems for the Telegraph.

The vast majority of British Muslims condemn the London bombings but a substantial minority are clearly alienated from modern British society and some are prepared to justify terrorist acts.

The divisions within the Muslim community go deep. Muslims are divided over the morality of the London bombings, over the extent of their loyalty to this country and over how Muslims should respond to recent events.

How do you like this for a double standard.

In yesterday’s Melbourne Age Professor Andrew Jakubowicz defended the policy of multiculturalism. In his article he assumed that mass immigration was inevitable, leaving a choice between assimilation of migrants or the fostering of many different ethnic communities.

Having limited debate to these options, Jakubowicz claimed that attempts at assimilation hadn’t worked because, “immigrants didn’t enjoy being told they had to abandon everything that had been their soul and being”.

So for migrants, ethnic identity is their soul and being. But what about the locals? Is their ethnic identity also defended in this way by the professor?
