Multiculturalism, schmulticulturalism: UK changes its tune

Keir Starmer, the UK’s new Prime Minister [whose surname can be mistaken for a WW2 Nazi newspaper], has gone and done a full 180, hasn’t he? The man who once clutched his pearls at the mere mention of immigration controls is now banging on about slashing it. 

That’s right—Labour’s open-borders fan club has officially folded. Starmer’s not just parroting the usual gripes about wages or creaking public services. No, he’s gone big, framing immigration as a straight-up threat to the glue holding Britain together. Finally, the UK Prime Minister has removed said head from said nether regions.

“Nations depend on rules, fair rules,” Starmer said, sounding like he’s just discovered the concept of a border. “Sometimes they’re written down; often they’re not. But either way, they give shape to our values, guide us towards our rights, of course, but also our responsibilities, the obligations we owe to each other.”

Blimey, Keir, where was this epiphany when Labour was busy branding anyone with a concern about immigration as a knuckle-dragging bigot? 

But he didn’t stop there. Instead, he went full patriot, warning that without clear rules, the UK risks turning into “an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together.” Dude, you’re about two decades late to that party, but better late than never, I suppose.

Starmer is now admitting the immigration system’s been a complete clusterfrack, undermining the very identity of the nation. “When you have an immigration system that seems almost designed to permit abuse, that encourages some businesses to bring in lower paid workers rather than invest in our young people,” he said, “or simply one that is sold by politicians to the British people on an entirely false premise, then you’re not championing growth, you’re not championing justice.”

And then he added “You’re actually contributing to the forces that are slowly pulling our country apart,” Starmer confessed. Gee wiz crackers, Keir, did you nick that line from a UKIP pamphlet?

But let’s not kid ourselves. Starmer’s dancing around the real issue here, and we all know what it is. The elephant in the room, the one nobody in Westminster or the BBC wants to name: the tidal wave of Islamic migrants, many of whom have zero interest in adopting British values. It’s not just about cheap labor flooding the job market, it’s the cultural carnage that’s followed.  

In city after city, you’ve got parallel communities, simmering tensions, and a laundry list of problems like crime spikes, overstretched services, and a social fabric that’s fraying faster than a charity shop jumper.

“That’s why I told the Labour Party conference taking back control is a Labour argument,” Starmer bloviated on, trying to sound like he’s been on this train all along, (much like Gavin Newsom's new take on homelessness). “And why, most importantly of all, inward migration is already falling with this government.” 

He's obviously seen the polls and that's all he really cares about.

If you enjoy my blog, feel free to toss a virtual coffee my way on Buy Me a Coffee – it’s like a high-five with caffeine, and coffee keeps me focused. No pressure, it's your call. 

Labour’s finally sniffed the coffee. The cultural divides, the surge in anti-Semitism, the radicalization worries, the cops stretched to breaking point. It has all piled up, and even Starmer can’t pretend it’s not happening. But here’s the million-pound question: will the punters buy this sudden Damascene conversion? Or will they clock it for what it is—Labour scrambling to save face after years of sticking their heads in the sand or elsewhere?

One thing’s crystal clear: Starmer’s speech is a grudging nod to what the so-called “far-right” have been banging on about forever. Mass migration, especially from cultures that openly reject the West, was never about “enriching” Britain. It was about dismantling it, bit by bit. And now, even Keir Starmer’s admitting the mess. Too little, too late? 

You tell me.

UK home secretary says multiculturalism has "failed"

U.K. Home Secretary Suella Braverman finally admitted this week that multiculturalism has "failed" as illegal aliens continue to flood into the country. She is calling for a second look at the outdated progressive refugee and asylum policies.

Braverman spoke in Washington, D.C. at the American Enterprise Institute and referred to multiculturalism as a "misguided dogma" that has utterly failed to integrate migrants into their new countries and called this haphazard, uncontrolled immigration, "inadequate" integration and multiculturalism had been a "toxic combination" for Europe.

"Multiculturalism makes no demands of the incomer to integrate," Braverman said. This may be why we have seen beheadings, rapes and other lawless behavior from individuals who come from countries where this may be a way of life.

Trump was correct when he said [and I paraphrase] "they don't send us their best,"

"It has failed because it allowed people to come to our society and live parallel lives in it," Braverman said. "They could be in a society, but not of society and, in extreme cases, they could pursue lives aimed at undermining the stability and threatening the security of our society."

She said the consequences could be seen across Europe and in the U.K.

Just this week for example, it was discovered that Germany has been sending migrants that they catch to Italy.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has called for a naval blockade in the Mediterranean Sea to stop migrants coming into Europe through Italy. Now that it was learned what Germany is doing, Meloni may take it a step further.

While the U.K. is no longer part of the European Union, it has been struggling to deal with an increase in migrants arriving in small boats across the English Channel from France. It has passed legislation to detain and deport illegal immigrants who arrive on small boats and is battling to be able to deport illegal immigrants to Rwanda, a move facing a court challenge by virtue signaling dweebs who never have to personally deal with the policies they call for.

Braverman also questioned whether the 1951 U.N. Refugee Convention was fit for the modern age, arguing that migrants shouldn’t be given asylum based on sexuality or gender unless there was "a real risk of death, torture, oppression or violence."

"Where individuals are being persecuted, it is right that we offer sanctuary," she said. "But we will not be able to sustain an asylum system if, in effect, simply being gay, or a woman or fearful of discrimination in your country of origin is sufficient to qualify for protection.

"We are living in a new world bound by outdated legal models," she added, calling the migration surges "an existential challenge" to the West.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., officials have again been overwhelmed by a fresh surge in migrants. In September alone, more than 260,000 migrant encounters occurred--a new monthly record.

Today is Sunday, October 1, 2023 and Joe Biden is still our alleged President.

Islamohaven: an allegory

A nice American couple recently had a guest arrive at their home. He was from the Middle East. The couple wanted to be good hosts and tried to accommodate him as best they could.

They gave him their largest guest bedroom, his own private washroom and complete privacy. He thanked the couple and turned in for the night--his first night in the West.

The next morning, the couple was having a breakfast: bacon and eggs, toast and jam, and coffee when the guest came down to join them.

"What is that horrible odor?" he asked the man's wife.
"I'm not sure what you're referring to," she answered.
"It smells like someone has been cooking swine."
"Oh, we're having bacon with our eggs. We know it isn't the healthiest of food, but we only have it on rare occasions with Sunday breakfast."
"It isn't about health; it makes me feel ill to smell it. I hope you will not cook it in the future," he said. "It offends me and goes against Sharia, which is the law of my religion."
"Oh, we're sorry--we didn't realize that," said the husband. "We'll make sure that we only cook it when you're gone from the house."
"No, the problem is that I cannot be in the same home that cooks swine. Is there no way you can eat your swine outside this wonderful home you have invited me into?"
"Okay. Bacon isn't all that important to us that we can't wait to eat it at a restaurant on the occasions we hunger for it," the wife said, smiling but feeling uncomfortable.
"Good," the guest said, and then went back to his room.

Another day passed and the couple heard sounds coming from the guest room. It sounded as if their guest was building something. They decided to check in on him to see what was going on.

When they got to the top of the stairs, they were met by the guest. He stood in front of the closed bedroom door, blocking the couple from entering the guest room.
"We heard some noise coming from up here," the husband said in a friendly tone, "and we just wanted to see what's going on."
"Nothing to see here," the guest replied. "I was just making a small prayer area while enjoying your hospitality." 
"Oh, sorry. We would never interfere with your religious practices," the husband said. "May we have a look to satisfy our curiosity?"
"Perhaps another time. I am very busy with the project now." The guest entered his room, closed the door and locked it.
The couple looked at each other both with confused expressions. 

They went downstairs and left for work while their guest stayed at home and enjoyed the conveniences the house had to offer.

A few weeks went by and by this time, the guest had really made himself "at home." While his hosts were at work, he spent a good part of his time praying, eating the Halal food bought for him by his hosts, and reading from the Quran.

Meanwhile, the husband and wife were feeling "put off" and somewhat upset with their guest. They believed he was taking advantage of their good will. In fact, the main reason they took him into their home in the first place was because they were told he was in danger if he stayed in his own country known as Islamohaven. 

Over time, the guest began acting more like the house he was staying in belonged to him and he began making demands. When the demands could not be met by the couple, he threatened to make trouble for them and even called a Muslim lawyer to send them a threatening letter.

Yes, he was an Islamohaven refugee but a lousy guest.

Deport Those Who Insult Free Speech

Multiculturalism insinuates that all cultures are equal; none are supposedly any better than another.  Our Judeo-Christian nation was founded on the premise that "From many, one," whereby all cultures blend into the culture we call America.  Nothing about America's philosophical foundation ever needed changing in spite of what Obama's promise of Hope and Change inferred.  The only change many wanted in 2008 was a change of the Bush administration and we look back at GW's time and realize how the liberal left piled on him with propaganda that would make Khrushchev's USSR's propaganda machine proud.

Until Obama took office, no American President ever bowed to any monarchy and the Bill of Rights and US Constitution were held sacrosanct.  Today the government has the audacity to discuss the idea that one religion, Islam, cannot be analyzed, criticized, or be the brunt of humor or sarcasm, while Christianity and its values can be ridiculed and overruled by our President.  And as the murder of Chris Stevens has shown us, the standard operating procedure for the Obama administration is to lie to the American pubic.

Anyone who challenges our Constitutional right to free speech is dangerous to our freedom.  In fact, for Islam to challenge free speech can only occur in a country that allows for free speech, otherwise there would be no discussion.  Imagine trying to speak negatively about Islam's prophet in Saudi Arabia-you can't even bring a Bible into the country.

When you visit someone's house, you need to respect the rules of their home.  If you are from another country and come to the USA, you ought to abide by the rule of the land as delineated in the Constitution.  If you want Americans to change laws to go along with Sharia instead of the rules of our house, then maybe you should leave our house and go back to your own home.  You aren't welcome here if you want to take away our right to speak our opinions.  You might be happier in your land where there is inequality between men and women, hatred and intolerance for those of other religions and for gays.   We don't need you here.

My latest novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism and suspense.  In it I challenge the precepts of the religion through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
