This is why the presence of non-white immigrants is deeply damaging to the intellectual life of this country. The media élite, especially, depend utterly for survival as credible commentators on political and cultural affairs, people who can speak out freely on any subject they want. Not only do they worry about the fact that they are not as free as they once were, but if the definition of Britain is changing they don't want to be seen as part of a revolutionary vanguard that has forged the change!

Indeed immigration is now feared as something that will undermine what remaining liberal credentials they have left. They find they are having to report on evidence of social alienation in our cities as a result of the turbulence that comes with political or cultural upheaval. They report continually on the crimes, the abuse of human rights and the coerciveness of small unrepresentative minorities who now live in this country.

They profess to dislike imperialism and invasion; they support ethnic and cultural independence in other (non-European) countries; they condemn globalisation and big business imperialism. In short, they support every rebel, separatist and sovereignty movement going. But any emergence of an ethnic separatist movement of Britons or Europeans will be condemned with a ranting, vitriolic language that would make Osama bin Laden sound moderate.

Hence media élites have become schizoid, made worse by the in-your-face repudiation of a Western liberal world order that they have to report on daily in their news columns. The dislike of American and Western values is growing, not receding. And if the tribes in Afghanistan and Iraq cannot live together in countries which are artificial to begin with, what hope is there for foreign tribes to find any kind of security or solidarity in an ancient ancestral country like Britain, a land with which they have no cultural connection?

Looking on the bright side, the Anglo-Celts in Britain still have a lot going for them. Most people view immigration as an inconvenience and a blight on their quality of life. On the other hand, there are more than 50 million of us still living here, and this makes us a sizeable and homogenous racial group, larger than many communities in the developing world (not counting the enormous ‘Anglo’ diaspora that dominates the English-speaking white world).

Further, the fact that immigrants are extremely diverse in appearance and culture works to our advantage in that ‘multiculturalism’ applies only to them. The ethnic British, by default, will become more prominent as a racial group. Multiculturalism could soon become a conspiracy against the immigrants themselves. Those who claim to be ‘British’ will have the misfortune of looking like many of the recent non-British arrivals. As mentioned before, only about half of the coloured population living in this country actually have British passports. In the end, in true tribal fashion, they may end up fighting each other while we watch from the sidelines!
