In the countryside of England’s East Midlands, less than a mile from the house where I spent my childhood, there is a small, wooded area named Hunsbury Hill. The actual hill, as I remember it, is a slight thing among the trees: its top flattened off and surrounded by a circular ditch eight or ten feet deep. Back in those days when kids were let loose to find their own fun, it was a popular play spot for us urchins from the nearby public housing estate.
Local people never said “Hunsbury Hill.” They called the place “Danes’ Camp” because Viking invaders—“Danes”—had used it as a base in their razzia through Eastern England around A.D. 900, the one that Alfred the Great and his children finally suppressed. The strategic geographical feature has a much older history: it was used as a hill fort by the Celts in the centuries B.C. It was those “Danes” that had stuck in people’s minds, though. Country folk have long memories, but with limits.
The Vikings were young men seeking plunder and women. They came armed into a settled population of Saxons that were likewise armed and under the leadership of brilliant and energetic monarchs.
The seaborne invaders of England today—36,816 in 2024, up from 29,437 the year before, according to the United Nations—are likewise young men seeking plunder and women, but this time unarmed. However, the English people they are settling amongst are also unarmed and are under the leadership of flaccid clerks who regard their ancestors with shame.

Things should really be rockin’ at Armageddon.
Gradually, then suddenly.
If only the British would take note of this. Every last one should read it.
Sail them back to France. Since France says they can't be sent back, drop them within 200 ft of shore, tell them to get off and swim
shoot the captain of the boats for high-seas piracy and people smuggling.
The flow of migrants would stop within a week. Its actually the most humane solution of all.
“The people of the 21st-century West have no stomach for stern measures.”
As Jean Raspail foresaw back in 1973, when his The Camp of the Saints was published.
Thanks for posting. Chronicles is an excellent publication.
Al Muhajuroon, I think he was in my companies thursday night bowling league in the 90’s. Always broke 180.
John Derbyshire was a legendary Conservative at National Review until William F. Buckley, founder of NR, began losing his health, and finally retired.
I had no idea Derbyshire was still writing.
He will be 80 years old in three months.

“All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old
But there’s no England now (there’s no England now)...”
The invasion of the entire European Union by hostile islamists is no accident.
Agreed! I remember truly great articles back in the day.
I didn’t know he was still writing.
