So put a stop to it. Shouldn’t be that hard for an Island.

ensuring that only migrants with in-demand skills enter the UK

We could use some of that in the US.

“So put a stop to it. Shouldn’t be that hard for an Island.”

Shouldn’t hard for anyone with the will to do it. America is just slightly behind England. Everyone seems to welcome our demise including many Americans. Massive immigration is just the ticket. Multiculturalism and diversity is our strength is one of the biggest lies ever told.

Headline is a major understatement. Will the powers that be in the UK now apologize to Enoch Powell?

The Poms should have thought of that when they decided to make "subjects" out of all they conquered. If they want to send a message to certain countries to stop sending people, they should abolish the Commonwealth.

Besides the Sikhs and the Gujaratis are outearning and outperforming their white English counterparts in terms of education and income. The Pakis are quite another story...

''During the 1990s, the UK did change from being a country of net emigration to being one of net immigration - 2.4 million people left Britain and 3.4 million came in.''

Effect, meet cause.

Actually, Enoch Powell was wrong on one point: Immigrants who had value systems (but not skin color) in common with the Brits have successfully integrated. Its when you bring in those with few skills and a proclivity towards “the Religion of Peace” that you have a problem.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

c) Preparations for jihad: Beginning of geographic no-go areas for the police and public administration officials. Frequent physical attacks and even single infrequent murders of policemen or persons opposing political Islam. Death threats against adversaries are common. An increasing physical destruction of property by groups, influenced by the radical imams and the jihadists.

Besides frequent proposals to introduce sharia laws, we find established “private” sharia courts in certain areas judging matters of special interest to Muslims. Property crimes of various types in order to finance the beginning of a domestic jihad movement.

Current examples: France; beginning in England, Holland.

Many, many thanks to NoSharia.

"Here is the means of showing that the immigrant communities can organize to consolidate their members, to agitate and campaign against their fellow citizens, and to overawe and dominate the rest with the legal weapons which the ignorant and the ill-informed have provided." Sound familiar? Imams at the airport

"As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see 'the River Tiber foaming with much blood'. That tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic but which there is interwoven with the history and existence of the States itself, is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect. Indeed, it has all but come. In numerical terms, it will be of American proportions long before the end of the century. Only resolute and urgent action will avert it even now. Whether there will be the public will to demand and obtain that action, I do not know. All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal."

Just so. In some ways, I suspect that your average English bloke may resent Polish immigrants more than Muslim immigrants, because the Poles are competing for jobs and eager for work, whereas the Muslims just vanish into the ghetto, collect welfare, and prepare to take over the country.

And the Poles tend to be Catholics, which many English are more inclined to hate than Muslims.

The real question is, who can fit in down the line? Who will help the country and not destroy it? Not what color are they?

Last weekend, I saw Michael Apted's "49 Up", (a documentary that follows the lives of several 49 yr olds in London's East End since they were 7), which is a fascinating film unto itself.

But even more interesting in this day and age is the very subtle hints of the Islamic conquest of Britain, as the neightborhoods these people grew up in are now "different", and you see a few shots of women in Burka's walking around.

You could see it in the eyes of those that made mention of it, that they were definintely bothered by what was going on. As if they could sense a threat to thier society and cultue. Some tried to excuse it, others did not like it, and some did not really talk about it, though, again, there were some subtlties in how they moved around it.

Ivan: I wanted to ping you to this thread for your comments, if you have any. I do believe you love in GB.

Polls have consistently shown around 40 per cent of voters rating immigration as their top concern.

Not just England. We have a world wide immigration problem.
