The Tebbit trickle
Norman Tebbit, former chairman of the Conservative Party, is a rare Englishman who conceptually grasps the problem of immigration and multiculturalism and is unafraid to say what he thinks. A multicultural society, he declares, is a contradiction in terms. Immigration, he has been arguing for years, must be reduced to a trickle or England’s main cities will turn into terrorist breeding grounds. When asked for his solution to what the dhimmi careerist historian Niall Ferguson calls the “irreversible” Islamization of Europe, Tebbit sensibly replies that when you’ve dug yourself into a hole, the first thing you do is stop digging, then you look around and figure out what to do next. In the wake of the London bombings (which Tebbit says prove Enoch Powell’s warning correct that a multicultural society would be a violent society), may we be so bold as to hope that Tebbit’s (and Powell’s) time has come? Indeed, the fair and approving coverage given his views in the leftish-appearing Sunday Herald (a paper filled with encomia to the recently deceased leftist Robin Cook) suggest that it has.
A prayer for this Sunday morning: May the ravaging flood of immigration turn into a tiny trickle, and Tebbit’s clear stream of common sense into a mighty river! Email entry |
