Mass immigration, the Blairite Ponzi Scheme no successive British government has been willing to dismantle, is firmly back on the agenda. According to YouGov polling, only the economy is considered a more pressing issue for most voters. And that’s hardly surprising, given that we have Rachel Reeves’ steady hand on the fiscal tiller; shoring up the Exchequer to the tune of £150 Billion, thanks to the highest tax rises since records began.
The ‘Uniparty’ of Labour and Conservative are a busted flush on the issue of immigration. For a thousand years, the English Channel has served us well as a sufficient deterrent to all but the most persistent forces. Alas, Britain it seems can no longer defend her honour against the sperm-like dinghy ejaculations emanating from Calais; at least, if we are to believe those representing our interests at Westminster.
When forced to explain their inertia, Britain’s politicians can think of nothing better to blame than their own population. “If anyone needs to integrate, it’s the far-right” says our Home Secretary, David Lammy. Former colleague and EU fanatic, Anna Soubry concurred, arguing that Muslims could “teach white British people many a good thing”. Even former Conservative Prime Minister, David Cameron, couldn’t resist labelling concerned UKIP voters “fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists”.
Come election time however, and the rhetoric on immigration ramps up. In the run-up to the 2025 local elections, the bulldog spirit among MPs was palpable – albeit bereft of sincerity. Prime Minister Starmer wanted you to know how “angry” he was at the number of migrants crossing the English Channel – although you won’t know he’s really angry of course, until he starts jailing people for tweeting about it. “We desperately need to end mass migration” agreed former Conservative Minister for Immigration, Robert Jenrick – the man set to replace Kemi Badenoch. Certainly Badenoch has failed to impress, but then Jenrick’s tenure as Immigration Minister was hardly a stellar performance either.
Britain’s last hope almost certainly lies in Nigel Farage’s most recent incarnation, Reform UK. Many of the key indicators are positive: having smashed it in the local elections, Farage is current favourite to be the next Prime Minister. As you’d expect, he pitched his pre-election addresses heavily in terms of immigration. Multiculturalism was a “huge error” he said; we need a ‘Minister for Deportation’; and most tellingly, “We must discriminate when it comes to who can come into our country. We must choose who the right people are, regardless of race, religion or geography.”
Farage certainly talks a good game. His Achilles’ heel however, appears to be Islam, as a recent interview worryingly revealed:
“There is a growing number of young Muslim males who loathe who we are, but the vast majority live peacefully, even if their sympathies lie in a slightly different direction – and we all have sympathies in terms of our own tribe, our own family when at times it may not be rational. I am concerned about the Hamas stuff of course I am, but the nub of it is we have a Muslim population in Britain growing by about 75% every 10 years right, that’s just where we are. If we politically alienate the whole of Islam, we will lose; we’ll lose. By 2050, goodness knows what kind of a terrible state we’re going to be in… we have to try everything we can to bring the majority with us. They will have private observance, they will have slightly different ways of how they live their lives perhaps to you and me, but they will be part of the club overall. That is what we have to strive for.”
I must confess, I am less pragmatic than Farage on this matter. I’m not interested in ‘bringing the majority with us’. My objection to mass immigration is far simpler: it’s dangerous; it’s morally wrong; and, in particular, the lies used to justify it are so pathetic, they would not pass muster in a kindergarten. Not only therefore do they shame their employers, but also the electorate which tolerates them:
The asylum / warzone argument
UNICEF may bluster all it wants that the majority of migrants and refugees are women and children, but when even the Home Office admits 90% of those crossing the Channel are men, that argument is dead. Anyone insisting that warzones are so bad only women and children should be asked to tolerate them, should be shown nothing but the contempt they deserve.
The NHS would collapse without immigration
An interesting point of view, although I suppose we could always take the radical step of training our own doctors and nurses. Besides which, that 8 million-long NHS waiting list might have something to do with the 7.2 million immigrants registered with GPs during the last ten years. Just a thought.
Immigration makes us richer
Simply not true. While naturally more workers may raise a nation’s overall GDP, in terms of GDP per capita (the only measure that matters) Britain has fallen in six out of the last eight quarters. This of course says nothing about the strain large numbers coming to Britain puts on resources and infrastructure, nor the fact that immigrants are a net cost to the economy. We’re not talking small beer either. The Centre for Policy Studies estimates the immigration cost to Britain at around a quarter of a trillion pounds; £400,000 per migrant over their lifetime, if you prefer Robert Jenrick’s analysis. And that replacement Muslim population? Well, only a shocking one in five Muslims in currently employed in Britain – how’s that going to work out in terms of funding pensions?
Diversity is our strength
Naturally, it’s great to see immigrants keen to integrate into British society. Except, with a million migrants unable to speak English, with Whites now minorities in their own major cities (and with ‘No Whites’ a regular feature of the graffiti in such areas), perhaps the atrocity in Southport and the grooming gangs still operating the length and breadth of the country are not ‘random’ events, but symptomatic of a deeper malaise?
Britain ‘must rely on immigration’ to compensate for the falling birth rate
This is perhaps the worst immigration trope, and was pushed recently in The Telegraph of all places. According to Sarah Harper, professor of gerontology at Oxford University, the replacement birth rate of 2.1 children per mother is unlikely to ever return:
“We have to accept that we are going to be in low-fertility societies. And the only way we can compensate for that is by looking at migration. We have a growing group of women who want to have children later, and they maybe only want to have one child. The idea that we are going to be able to replace ourselves by births alone, I really cannot see that coming back.”
Far be it from me to question the wisdom of gerontologists, but importing third world savages en masse to ‘solve’ a problem by providing us with 50 new ones isn’t much of a solution. Instead, we ought to be looking to mitigate the negative effects of recent mass immigration by shutting the scam down altogether. This would immediately obviate the need for billions spent on ‘asylum’, and relieve the enormous pressure across the public sector.
Furthermore, removing the problem of mass immigration might allow us to stop taxing ourselves into oblivion; thereby affording some sensible encouragement for women to have children. In Hungary for instance, Viktor Orban has capped mortgage rates at 5% and is giving lifetime tax exemption to mothers with two or more children. It’s not a miracle of course, but it’s a damn sight better than Starmer’s plan – do sod all, and hope Karachi picks up the slack!
Here’s the joke: solving the immigration problem would be child’s play, were there the slightest will present within the corridors of power. Step one: declare an emergency and deploy the Navy – properly, not as a taxi service. Turn back the boats like Australia did. Step two: ditch the hand-wringing and pull out of the European Convention on Human Rights. It’s a straitjacket tying us to every sob story crossing the Channel. Step three: deport anyone here illegally, no ifs, no buts – and yes, that includes the estimated 1 in 12 illegal ‘Londoners’. Step four: slash the pull factors. No hotels, no benefits, no ‘asylum’ for economic chancers – watch the queues vanish overnight.
The fact that not one of these steps has been implemented by successive governments who talked tough on immigration but did nothing, leads to one inescapable conclusion: mass immigration is a problem the powers that be don’t want to solve. Whether it’s big business’s addiction to cheap labour, the fluffing of the GDP figures, globalist brownie points or simply not wishing to be called ‘racist’, mass immigration is a choice – a choice they are making on our behalf. Even Keir Starmer has admitted it:
“This happened by design, not accident. Policies were reformed deliberately to liberalise immigration. Brexit was used for that purpose, to turn Britain into a one-nation experiment in open borders.”
Forcing the native population to fund its own destruction, while telling them they’re the problem is a stupid and unsustainable lie. Not only does it make fools of us all, but on the current trajectory it makes all-out civil war inevitable. Nigel Farage and Reform UK may be the last roll of the dice, and we’d better hope Farage intends to be more hardline in office than he lets on. Because if he doesn’t, Britain is likely lost forever.

I agree with you Frank Farage must wake up on this issue he’s too far left to get my vote on this Tony Blair should be hung for treason as should Boris Johnson and Starmer it’s easy to solve the Navy can get magic target practice on the boats and the fish need feeding since Starmer gave away our fishing industry to the EU.
A big problem is the Immigration tribunal and appeal system. The judges bend the law to nonsense allowing any and every ridiculous ground for appeal against deportation to succeed. Chicken nuggets, beards etc
I suspect the inability of the political class to do anything about mass immigration is due to impressive lobby by NGOs, a fear of offending Guardian readers (the sort who go to dinner parties with the political set) by seeming to be racist and a fear of setting off the followers of the Religion of Peace. If these scary young men don’t get the sex and free money they are expecting and get told to leave, the Imams might call down a Fatwa on all our heads. The political class would be in that firing line! So it’s down to massive moral cowardice and hubristic do-gooders working for over-funded NGOs. Those easy solutions won’t be implemented by any one in the current political class – including Nigel Farage who is totally Establishment and appears to listening too much to rich Muslims.
Nigel has to keep his combative, trouble making ex-chairman, now ‘Head of DOGE’ (and big big donor) happy. I don’t think he will find it any easier to put the genie back in the bottle, even if he wants to, and from that interview quote I’m not sure he wants to – there are too many in high places who actively don’t want to stop immigration. It’s part of the plan to divide and conquer – God know what the country will be like in another 4 years. It won’t be a popular viewpoint, but I believe Starmer is far and away worse and more evil than the Tories ever were. Rishi warned us that ‘dark forces’ were at work, and he was right.
“Muslims could teach white British many a good thing”, simply untrue as we’re not listening and not interested in turning back the clock to the Middle Ages (and they in turn don’t listen to us, probably because they don’t speak our language and are told what to think and do by Imams at their Mosques and Islamic Centres).
Reform lack the guts to stand up for their core voters, because they too are an Establishment Party and more interested in Islamic funders than those who desperately cling to hopes of change and are viewed by the Reform hierarchy as useful idiots/swivel-eyed loons.
