Okay. Just put the notion in your back-brainbox for now, it might have relevance to you at some point. |

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...
It is, in my opinion, an utter and complete myth that there is the slightest danger or prospect of millions and millions of brown and black people coming to this country. Anyone who is trying to put that across is only trying to frighten people into believing that.

I was listening to Ralf Schoelhammer and he said that mass immigration happens when the politicians hate their country and want to atone for what they regard as the mistakes of the past. He's usually right.

He's usually right. But why would they hate their own societies? In my view there is an ulterior psychological motivation. |

Well, the most of the Tories had contempt for those who wanted to leave the EU. And most of Labour has contempt for the white working class. Also a Labour adviser said that Blair's immigration policy was to rub the noses of the Right in diversity. And none of them have a good word to say about our Empire - despite the fact that it did quite a lot of good.
The ulterior psychological motivation is probably the pernicious "virtue signalling". Jo Cox was always wittering on about "making the world a better place", by which she meant letting in loads of muslim "asylum seekers" and giving them council houses - very nice for them but no so nice for those who lost their council house. Contempt for your electorate is never advisable.
