The constant xenophobic moaning we have on here is just a pointless waste of time. It’s not going to alter anything. Even if an extreme version of Reform took power it could not reverse the immigration we already have nor could it run our economy without further immigration unless it was prepared to trash our economy.
This type of attitude about the way the population of the UK is changing has existed throughout my lifetime and well before it. The predictions of the consequences are never accurate.
We don’t just live in a changing country. We live in a changing world. One in which it is neither possible to isolate ourselves from those changes nor wise to try.
Change always brings with it dissatisfaction for some, albeit often temporary, as their comfort zones get disturbed. The next generations, not knowing anything different, accept, adapt and learn to prosper in the new environment. The same can, with proper management, apply to the second generation of immigrants. It often already does.
Any population, whatever its composition, will contain elements who are criminals and as a society we must deal with them.
We cannot change our history. Nor can we undo its consequences. We had an Empire. We taught the world to speak English and treasure our commitment to freedom under the law. We ought to be proud that people want to come here.
Yes we need to tighten up our expectations of those who arrive and ensure they are met. If people choose to live with us then they must accept, honour and respect our way of life, alongside the law. Any that don’t should have their visas revoked and if that’s impossible then they must accept compulsory reeducation until they do.
