Britain ‘sleepwalking to catastrophe’ over race: Trevor Phillips

The Telegraph ^ | 10 May 2016 | John Bingham

[Mr Radical]

Britain risks "flames" of racial and religious conflict because of a "liberal self-delusion" over the impact of mass immigration, the former head of the equality watchdog Trevor Phillips claims today.

In a startling assault on decades of official multiculturalism and diversity policy, the founding chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission argues the UK is being allowed to "sleepwalk to catastrophe" by leaders too "touchy", "smug", "complacent" and "squeamish" to talk about race.

Drawing a direct parallel with Enoch Powell’s notorious "rivers of blood" speech, he likens Britain’s politicians, media and educated elite in general to the Emperor Nero fiddling while Rome burned, unable even to recognise the "dark side of the diverse society".

. . .

"Rome may not yet be in flames, but I think I can smell the smouldering whilst we hum to the music of liberal self-delusion"

[Mr Radical]

From the former head of the UK's CRE (Commission for Racial Equality) at the forefront of the push for a 'multi-cultural' society, this is a frank and stunning admission.

(Only a black man, and one in high status as he, could get away with a statement such as this is modern-day Britain - and only he could get it reproduced in the MSM.)

True, but it won’t change anything. Muzz’s are the latest solid voting block, and white Christians are birth-controlling themselves into extinction.

Michael Goodwin writing in the NY Post noted that Sadiq Khan, London’s first Muslim mayor, is promising: “As mayor, I will be the British Muslim who finally roots out extremism and radicalisation from British society. I will support mainstream Muslims to challenge extremists and work with the internet providers to ban extremist websites.”

Wait, Goodwin continues, if Khan is saying "there is an actual link between Islam and Islamic terrorists," Khan must be wrong.

B/c President Obama says there is no connection, and He always knows best.

We in the Colonies have been sleepwalking also, or Slouching Toward Gomorrah as a wise should-have-been-but-wasn’t member of the U.S. Supreme Court has written.

Are we awakening here in time? Stay tuned.

This is nonsense. Everyone knows that diversity is our greatest strength.

The author of that tome spent two tours in the Marine Corps. Compare that to our other ‘leaders’.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bkmrk.

[T-Bone Texan]

Enoch Powell was right!

[baltimorepoet]

Well, apparently not Trevor Phillips from GTA5.

[usconservative]

Just imagine the outrage if a white man running for President had said the same thing .....

Oh wait!

[RoosterRedux]

Trevor Phillips may just punch a hole in the Liberal dyke and cause it to give way.

Amazing change of events.

It's not just the UK.

In fact, the root causes may be even worse here in the USA.

We know all of those attitudes also prevail with the bureaucrats here in the USA and that we are on the same path as the UK.

Even worse, we also have a president who is intentionally working hard to bring us to catastrophe by bringing in as many muslims as possible using every legal and illegal way he can find.

Has anybody noticed that the cost and availability of standard 7.62 and 5.56 NATO military ammunition is returning to pre-Barry levels??
9mm ball ammo is WAY down, too.

Just say’in.

Yes, but is anyone listening?

[Bigg Red]

Yep, Bernie Sanders told us that just last night in a speech.

Oh yeah!

And there seems to be tons and tons of it.

Ammo sellers are pushing bulk sales every day.

Gotta' Love this one:

America desperately needs another leader like George Washington today.

[RoosterRedux]

I should have said “dike.”
