This is all a far cry from my own laissez-faire childhood, which reflects many of the experiences of young people of colour who grew up at a time when racist attitudes were in decline. In 1993 almost half of Britons said they’d be uncomfortable if their child married someone of a different ethnicity; by 2020 that number had fallen to just 4%, a stunning drop. Likewise, the percentage of people saying that you have to be white to be truly British has fallen from 10% in 2006 to 3%. While British society has always been far from perfect (many have rightly taken aim at the continued prevalence of institutional racism and unconscious bias) a consensus seemed to have evolved that racism was itself a fundamentally bad thing that was on the way out.
Britain is one of the most racially tolerant places in the world. No, really, believe me. Whatever you think of what happens in Britain everywhere else is worse, far, far, worse.
And yes, us Angles and Saons were doing what we’ve done to every other wave of immigration – fuck ’em and have children with ’em.
Then came The Wave. Simply an amount too large to be dealt with by those standard methods. And therefore here we are.
It’s almost like that radiation hormesis thing. Some is fine, even good, lots ain’t.
So, what do we all do now?
The usual response to immigration is White Flight rather than confrontation.
I have noticed that in some parts of London this has also become Black Flight. There are very few of West Indian extraction in areas where they were prevalent.
The unfortunate result of this thankful lack of out and out racial conflict is that we end up with ghettoes . We also then have the very unfortunate phenomenon of racial voting : this has been happening for years but it was hidden inside the Labour mass, but now we have overtly Moslem MPs forming their own party.
Balkanisation is the inevitable result. In a country where the population is densely packed, this becomes a very dangerous situation.
( ps if you want to see it in a ‘civilised’ context, look at 1930s Czechoslovakia. One thing the Communists did was to suppress all that ethnic voting nonsense. )
Growing up at a multicultural school in south-west London in the 2010s, I certainly had a different childhood to my father’s – the notion of being an outcast because of the colour of your skin was nothing short of laughable.
Lol. That’s only because white British people are now a minority in London, 36% according to the 2021 census. I wonder why they’re leaving – probably the benefits of diversity…
White British boys were the minority in my school in Tooting in the early 1980s.
By 1990 they had been all but eradicated.
ps the article is hilarious. This kid is such a berk.
The funniest not funny thing about all of this is that the absolute worst ‘racists’ tend to be found in precisely the regions and cultures filling the boats we’re bringing in every day.
Anyone who has spent any time at all in the Middle East and Hindu kush areas knows this.
The reason why there are so many protests around “asylum hotels” is not that we are racist, it’s just that in our culture rape and torture of little girls is not seen as a luxury that shoud be provided by us to the rest of the world as a bit of fun to relieve the boredom of a 4 star luxury free holiday…
It’s not the race, it’s the behaviour. Failure to come up to British standards. Note, not values. I don’t care about their values except as expressed in their behaviour.
Of cpurse the Great Replacement is a conspiracy theory, but if by any chance it were true, what exactly would distinguish it from what we can see now?
a consensus seemed to have evolved that racism was itself a fundamentally bad thing that was on the way out.
And this is somehow good? The British benefited from it?
Rhoda,
“It’s not the race, it’s the behaviour. Failure to come up to British standards. Note, not values. I don’t care about their values except as expressed in their behaviour.”
The thing with immigration is that we used to import compatible people from the rest of the world. Like I work with a lot of people from Pakistan and India and they’re pretty much like the rest of us. But that’s software people. They came from affluent parts of Lahore or Delhi, raised by modern-thinking parents. They’re religious to the same level as being Church of England, not Knights Templar. Their wives speak English. They didn’t marry their cousin. They aren’t shitting in the street. They would have no issue shaking hand with a woman.
It’s what blinded me to the problem of immigration for a while. All the people I knew were fine. But we didn’t just import programmers, engineers and doctors. We imported a lot of backward-thinking people. Most of whom don’t even add up (except in the very short term) and are incompatible with modern Western society.
Spot on, WB!
WB @ 9.31, in the aftermath of the earthquake in Afghanistan some women are being ‘ignored’.
Now, when I say ‘ignored’, I mean ‘left under the rubble to die or not given any medical assistance’, as it appears a bloke touching the skin of a woman is verbotten.:
https://www.newenglishreview.org/no-skin-contact-with-males-afghan-women-left-under-earthquake-rubble/
Yet we keep getting told all cultures are equal……..
When I heard these stories as a child, they felt like terrible tales from a different time – one of National Front marches and street battles, shot with big bulky cameras on black-and-white film. Growing up at a multicultural school in south-west London in the 2010s, I certainly had a different childhood to my father’s – the notion of being an outcast because of the colour of your skin was nothing short of laughable. Now, though, it doesn’t seem quite so funny.
I am guessing a white child in such a school might have found things rather different of course but then that’s absolutely different I presume:
Just a year ago, in the aftermath of the Southport killings, towns and cities up and down the country were hit with what can only be described as attempted pogroms. Hordes of men in Middlesbrough stood at intersections checking the skin colour of drivers; family homes were vandalised with racist graffiti; rioters in Rotherham tried to set fire to asylum seeker accommodation. As I turned 19 in the midst of the chaos, I was being taught an important lesson, one that much of my generation has had the luxury of forgetting. For the first time I learned what it really means to live in fear because of the colour of your skin, and it has never left me since.
What’s the Punishment for child molestation in Pakistan or the other subcontinental countries I ask? Not condoning the violence per se, but I would say this. As a number of the Blokes (Bis, WB) point out violence has been endemic to the political left for this country for about 40 years if not longer and because that’s ‘progressive’ its viewed as fine. I would also say for White families in places like Bradford they’ve had to know the feeling of living in fear of Islamic hate mobs for a couple of decades so they do have some sympathy. Arian aGrande fans also get it .
There have been many acts of racist violence in the past 30 years – from the London nail bombings of 1999 to the Islamophobic attacks that accompanied the “war on terror”. But something feels different now. Racists in Britain are both more unapologetic than ever and more in touch with mainstream opinion, as our media and politicians happily scapegoat asylum seekers. What this means, in practice, is that I’ve experienced more racism in the last 12 months than the rest of my life put together
I think the Nail bombings were Anti-gay from recollection. And wait, no mention of the 7/7 attacks? London Bridge? How interesting? And disliking people who are here illegally has very little to do with race. Conflating the two is at best disingenuous and at worst outright dishonest..
Whether it’s being told to go back to my country by a stranger at a London club during Pride or having the slur “Paki” thrown my way more times than I can recall (one particularly uncomfortable incident occurred at a pub on a family holiday in Cornwall), it has now become a regular feature of my life. And it’s not just me feeling this way. Mothin Ali, the new deputy leader of the Green party, took to Instagram just last week to share a video of several men yelling “Paki bastards” at himself and his family. “I haven’t experienced this kind of random racism on the streets since I was a child in the 80s,” he wrote. “I was hoping my own children wouldn’t have to go through the same thing.”
That’s the same Mothin Ali who was celebrating the October 7th attacks? Perhaps he may take a look in the mirror at some point and reflect on his own hatred of non- Muslims?
The answer lies not in falling into an alarmist panic, but in rediscovering the lessons that previous generations learned the hard way: the necessity for organised resistance and the strength of our collective power. Last year, at the height of the riots, a message was circulating around from a far-right Telegram group that was organising hate marches across the country. “Niggers, Muslims, Pajeets,” it opened, “you will be slaughtered on Wednesday if you arrive at the protests. Think wisely or die.” That message was designed to scare people such as me away from showing up to counter-protest, to maintain the illusion that it is only the racists who have a voice in our country. But all that message left me with was anger, not fear. That Wednesday I did show up, along with tens of thousands of other antiracists from up and down the country. In Walthamstow, east London, not a single far-right group dared show their faces, and the streets were instead filled with people from all walks of life celebrating together late into the night.
That is in some ways the scariest thing – It’s the equivalent of ‘Went the Day Well’ but in an alternate reality where the invaders had 40 to 50,000 soldiers ready to go alongside literally millions of fifth columnists unaware they’d also be killed once Nazism was implemented. Such is the scale of the treason that they’re in some ways kicking against an Open Door. Which is why remigration for the author and others ‘unhappy about being brought over here against the will of the majority’ really needs to occur post haste.
The dose makes the poison.
“Note, not values. I don’t care about their values except as expressed in their behaviour.”
But behaviour when no one is watching (which is most of the time, phone cameras notwithstanding) depends on values.
It’s like that old joke of a job evaluation, “This man will do the right thing, if his back is to the wall and he has no alternative.” It’s not a positive one.
If they don’t share the values, and you can’t teach them, you can’t trust that person.
“Institutional Racism” is an odd thing for lefties to whine about – in the US, and I assume the UK, white people are openly discriminated against (and very often, so are Asians). After St. George of Floyd OD’d lots of companies announced that they were going to avoid hiring white people and did so. And high school students applying to college are faking minority status because it boosts their chances.
And “unconscious bias” is academia running bollocks yet again.
Other than that…
If my standard is ‘don’t rape or molest’, then I don’t care why they follow it, just whether they do. If they’re secretly wishing to rape doesn’t matter, so long as they never do. Now trust, that’s another thing. It’s one reason the natives don’t like the immigrants, that the high-trust society we used to (think we) have cannot exist alongside folks from a low-trust society and they don’t even understand the value of high-trust. They just think we’re mugs. And we are.
I want them gone.
Years back Ann Coulter undressed the NYT on the topic of immigration – they ran a big article about some immigrant scientist who was doing really important stuff – showing, of course, that immigration is good, diversity makes us better, etc.
She noted that they were making our point exactly – we want immigrants who will add value and make our country better, we don’t want immigrants who do the opposite.
Our side – selective immigration is good.
Their side – unlimited and unvetted immigration is good.
The commies use ‘racism’ as justification for destruction of the West. The irony being that any replacement would actually be racist. Destroy Western Civilization because it fails to meet it’s exclusive standards. Wealthy white women agree.
Whether it’s being told to go back to my country by a stranger at a London club during Pride
A rare sighting of a gay (presumably but not guaranteed to be white) racist. I wonder where they stand on the intersectional league table?
Perhaps the poor lad is thick enough to believe he’d get a warmer welcome celebrating “Pride” in majority Muslim areas of the city. Give it a try Rohan, what have you got to lose?
P.s. are his mates the “Riders of Rohan”?
I’ll get my coat.
We had a racially mixed school: there was an English boy in our class. We were fascinated to hear that he couldn’t pronounce the letter “r”. Jokes were made about a shibboleth. He was teased; it must have gone on for – oh – half an hour or so.
Some years later we started French and we found it hilarious that he couldn’t pronounce the French “r” either. That teasing must have lasted all of a quarter hour.
Why should he have found it impossible to pronounce both the trilled “r” and the back-of-the-throat “r”? It’s not as if they are similar. Presumably psychologists have theories of such things. Thank God he never had occasion to try the German “ch” in public.
@Western Bloke
I agree 100% with that. I remember one day at work thinking what a monocultural place the IT department was with no black or Asian people. Then I looked around and to my surprise counted 20 or so of my friends and colleagues who disproved my conjecture. On second glance I realised that even then I had missed one of the Indian blokes who had only been in the uk for 7 years yet had a cut glass upper class English accent. Onka was a super chap and amusingly the other Indians made fun of him because he couldn’t speak more than a few words of Hindi.
On topic
I have just had the misfortune to read this article in the DT.
Apparently the author shared a platform with Matt Goodwin at the Reform conference.
He has completely missed the point. It is Spudesque in fact. What he fails to realise is that in the last year, Reform have totally won the immigration argument, so much so that we have Starmer planning to send the illegals back to their barracks. It wasn’t paywalled when I read it. He is being duffed over in the comments something rotten.

I strongly suspect that that message was actually designed by Jussie Smollett, or his UK-based equivalent.
By the way
“That Wednesday I did show up, along with tens of thousands of other antiracists from up and down the country. In Walthamstow,”
That was a hoax. No ‘racists’ were ever going to turn up and demonstrate.
We used to get good quality immigrants.
Now we get muslims from the Middle East and south Asia.
I’m quite surprised actually.
From experience a lot of recent migrants would not tolerate marriage to a different ethnicity. Honour and whatnot.
So i’d expect the numbers to be going up…
50+ years ago, Saul Alinski pointed out that the West could be choked to death on their own standards. Failure to meet standards no one else even had.
Racism is NORMAL. Useful. Yet, the West has created the absurd standard that racism is bad. And we are choking on it.
“Racism is NORMAL.” In the sense that everyone is racist, of course.
But not in the sense that everyone admits to being racist. There may even be dolts who genuinely, but wrongly, believe they are not racists.
No one ever accused Mahatma Ghandi or Nelson Mandela of being racist when they openly stated they wanted the white man out of ‘their countries’.
Ditto, every ‘first nations’ or whatever they want to call themselves this week.
And no one moans about all those cultures the ‘The Religion of Peace’ has exterminated, subjugated, genocided, or ethnically cleansed from wherever they have invaded.
Why is it only the white man who suffers this burden? Let those without sin etc. etc.
a consensus seemed to have evolved that racism was itself a fundamentally bad thing that was on the way out.
That consensus was incorrect. Racism is good for you, and I personally enjoy no fewer than six racisms for breakfast, while I meditate on how Saint John Chrysostom and Mel Gibson did nothing wrong.
Whether it’s being told to go back to my country by a stranger at a London club during Pride or having the slur “Paki” thrown my way more times than I can recall
The settler-colonist is immunised against all dangers. One may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a Pakistani and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out”.
the notion of being an outcast because of the colour of your skin was nothing short of laughable. Now, though, it doesn’t seem quite so funny.
That’s what white men are saying.
What happens to the women and children left behind?
We have an example. close by, in history. In the 18th and early 19th Century, young white Irish men buggered off to go on gold rushes, or to do the digging for first canals and then railways. Not many went back. The women they left behind in a predominantly agricultural (and subsistence agriculture at that) society couldn’t cope. Add a parasite that ate all their spuds – and you engender 200 years of hatred for the very people who tried to help out.
Add to that an evil religion that insisted on sodomising boys and raping girls and women (sounds familiar, doesn’t it?) and that’s what you get.
“Why is it only the white man who suffers this burden?”
White women.
Witchie – Add to that an evil religion that insisted on sodomising boys and raping girls and women
Christianity has never insisted on sodomy or rape. To understand why Ireland was such an abusive shithole, you have to first realise they’ve been a failed state since 1169. The place was full of broken and bitter people, particularly after their civil war, and their secular education system was every bit as abusive or more so than the religious orders.
They’ve abandoned God, but they’re still molesting kids and have abandoned their women to the migrants. God isn’t the problem here. If they weren’t Christian, they’d still have sexual assault, but also slavery.
Addolff – Why is it only the white man who suffers this burden?
We are hated not for our sins, but for our success. White men committed the unpardonable sin of creating the modern world, and dragging the rest out of superstition and savagery.
“they’d still have sexual assault, but also slavery.” You may be just the chap to tell me. Who abolished slavery in Ireland, and when? The Normans? The Tudors? In between?
Cromwell? That’s surely too much to hope for.
Normans taking control from the Vikings….
DM – depends on what you mean by abolishing slavery in Ireland. The Sack of Baltimore (1631) took place in Cork:
They captured at least 107 villagers,[6] mostly English settlers along with some local Irish people (some reports put the number as high as 237).[7] The attack was focused on the area of the village known to this day as the Cove.[5] The villagers were put in irons and taken to a life of slavery in Algiers.[8]
Who abolished slavery in Ireland, and when?
Henry II did.
Well at least in the bits he controlled.
1170ish.
The difference is that in 2020 96% of Britons were lying.
Ask the question today and see what the percentages are.
>So, what do we all do now?
Even the Canadians are saying it – remigration.
Ask the question today and see what the percentages are.
Well, it’s a stupid question:
In 1993 almost half of Britons said they’d be uncomfortable if their child married someone of a different ethnicity
Because it very much depends on the ethnicity, no? I’d be ok with my children marrying a Welsh, or even possibly a Portugee. This question isn’t a good proxy for racial tolerance or attitudes to immigration in 2025. In 1993 people would have felt the freedom to be more honest in their answer, but now all it measures is what the average person thinks they’re supposed to say to avoid arglebargle.
And most ethnic minority groups are exceedingly racist when it comes to who their children marry, but are also in favour of more people from their ethnicity being allowed to move here.
The Great Remigration is, as you say, the solution. Let’s start with the illegals, then we’ll get to the ones here “legally” who shouldn’t be.
If people can marry barnyard animals . . . .
Gamecock – well, I’m agin the shtupping of poor Daisy, and also agin judges deciding that foreign rapists have a “right” to remain in our country, for fear of persecution in their home countries, or due to the importance of the rapist Dad being allowed to teach his children about Islam, or whatever. I believe rapists should be persecuted.
These are therefore “legal” but problematic migrants. I see the US government has responded to an illegal alien gangbanger’s claim that he can’t be returned to Colombia or 22 other Latin American countries because he has a well founded fear of persecution by arranging to deport him to Eswatini. Lolz!
