A warning that cannot be ignored

N. Simon

We've had many stark warnings like this over the past 10 years. I can only lead us to believe that Nu Labour have a sinister agenda by completely undermining and dismantling this country's security.

all that game is about capitalists trying make us to believe in "terrorism nightmares". there is no terrorism at all. 9 and others are made by governments to give as an anamy and to feel ther free to organise new war, earn more profits and to absolutise their world power. open your eyes people. We are all the same. We are the part of the world. there is no need to hate anybody.

The stronger the report, the more the government goes into denial. It's good that people in Whitehall are fighting back - and not mincing their words, which is unusual - but the rot is now set so deep I don't know what can be done to stop it.

The radical Left now infect or control almost every part of our lives and they are not likely to suddenly recant. Rod Liddle wrote well about this in the Mail this week in an article on 1968, the year this drivel took root, and highlighted the eye-popping fact that even our senior judiciary is now almost saturated with radical Leftism. This week's terror judgement in the downloading case is appalling.

All that counts is bodybags. Only with the Gates of Vienna (OK, Dover) breached and more and more killed will this country's ghastly gliberalistas ever wake up to what they've done - and even then they'll probably try to blame George Bush, anything that saves their face.

We are the only country left with the ghastly legacy of 1968 and all the self-loathing twaddle it unleashed. Every other country across Europe is bolstering its national identity. All you have to do is go on holiday and speak to people. I've spoken to many people abroad in Europe think the UK has a death wish and I can't disagree with them.

Nu Labour certainly had/has an 'agenda', Jack Straw being one its chief architects. Predictably, the 'Today' programme (15 Feb) wheeled out the egregious Keith Vaz, who promptly denied that there is any problem at all.

Didnt Churchill suffer from the same problem in the thirties?We always seem to bury our heads and hope it will go away -well look around and clear your ears because it will not go away ,and *Dignity*(post 3) -I do not hate anyone but sadly the reverse does not apply

Geoff Miller

You know, I'm beginning to hope that it really does get worse. Only then will people wake up, organise and overwhelm the undemocratic liberal elite that has taken over our country. It will take a descent into chaos before the "multicultists" and liberals understand what they have done (if ever). Thank God there are still some people in the establishment who are at last beginning to understand what they could have discovered by chatting to anyone in a local pub up and down the country anytime in the last 30 years!

Andy Gill

I see the Department of Defence has already rejected the report's findings. No change there then. But I suspect the public will welcome this report as a well-deserved bitch-slap to the spineless left-wing establishment which has emasculated this country. Britain needs to get off its multicultural knees before it is too late.

Dr Michael Graves

Predictably no mention is made of this important report in the propagandist BBC which is arguably the most significant advocate of "multiculturalism". Unbelievably this story does not even appear on the BBC website UK home page, even though it is headline news everywhere else!

I think it would have to get much much worse before the populace would rise up. It would have to threaten the supply of beer, ciggies, the broadasting of strictly come big brother out of here on ice and the distribution of Hello. Let's face it the masses that would have to rise up won't notice any of this until it effects them directly. Those who are interested enough and see far enough ahead, and are not in that elite you talk about are too few. I think the only thing which will take the political head out of the sand would be something like a Nuke going off in London, New York, Paris or Berlin.

Laura

I watched BBC Breakfast News this morning and it was right down the list of stories they mentioned and even then it only got a cursory mention.

"dignity", what on earth are you? A government literacy adviser.

Joe Strummer

The British left wing political and social elite, from its politicians, its judiciary and cheerleaders in the media abjectly refuse to countenance the horrific reality that they have created in the country today. To do so would be admitting that not only was their entire agenda and philosophy of multi-culturalism and social engineering a ghastly and disastrous mistake but it has also brought nothing but chaos, fragmentation and division of a once ordered society. The Left's hubris and preening arrogance knows no bounds even when the evidence is starkly presently before them. The Left will never acknowledge the monumental damage and carnage they have strewn all over a once proud land.

Frank Pulley

Dr Graves: "Unbelievably this story does not even appear on the BBC website UK home page, even though it is headline news everywhere else!" Unbelievably? I would have said 'predictably'. '

Frank Pulley

Dr Groves - belay my correction. I just read your comment again and now realise that you used 'predictably' yourself at the beginning (though I'm still confused why it's both predictable and unbelievable that the BBC don't want to admit it's past bias.

EyeSee

What strikes me about this is how (albeit eloquently) this report just echoes what the average Briton has been saying for a decade. Also, the predictability of the response from the lie factory that is New Labour. a) they cannot possibly have done anything wrong b) everything is way better than rosy. Not least when they continue to cite incompetent bombers as somehow being a Brown competence? Do these people actually believe that being stupid and telling lies to cover up their failure, is really any way to run a country?

"Didnt Churchill suffer from the same problem in the thirties?" -- At least then Britain had a Churchill to berate and to warn and ultimately to lead.

Richard Hare

I feel sorry for the KGB. After years of infiltrating the Establishment and funding left-wing groups, in the hope of a once-proud, unified, confident country turning its back on what made it so and being left disillusioned and aimless, it has succeeded, but only after its own demise. So rather than Soviet-style communists being left free to take the helm, we now have the prospect of some determined Islamists and their apologists taking up the reins if given half a chance. I suppose we should be grateful at least that will mean a return to law and order!

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute a new Government.....

Kevyn Bodman

A customarily clear article by Melanie, but with a slight confusion of the nature of our weaknesses.. 'the appalling weakening of our military and defence infrastructure' might be an accurate description but it is not the issue. The job of the forces is to kill foreigners abroad; we are not under threat of invasion that would need the deployment of forces in the UK to defend the UK.So an unfortunate and unnecessary confusion has been brought into the argument. 'allowing and even exacerbating the progressive fragmentation of British society' is the real problem and,yes, the miulti-culturists are guilty of that. That's where the battles must be fought. Oppose multi-culurism, oppose any and all concessions to any and all groups within our society; ONE standard for all. 'The country's lack of self-confidence' is both worrying and baffling.Consider the history, achievements,culture and quality of life available in the UK and compare it with the culture that threatens us; we never need to take even the smallest backward step. But we must assert ourselves now, we must face down the threat now, because if we don't do so then a reasonably peaceful solution will elude us.

Danny Lemieux

Most of the comments here suggest that at-least some people are aware of what is happening. Sadly, there's not much that you can do about it. They took away your firearms and your rights to self defense - whether physical or cultural. There is nothing that can be done for people unwilling to defend themselves. Only the British people can decide whether Britain is worth saving or whether it will go the way of Byzantium. If the latter, I will miss you. Greatly.

I think one of the many elephants in the room (to use the fashionable phrase) is the fact that the Labour Party benefits hugely in political terms from mass immigration. Mass immigration shores up the numbers in inner city constituencies and most immigrant groups vote for Labour disproportionately. In terms of narrow political interest, they would be mad to stop mass immigration and indeed have made no effort to. The concern must be that the government lacks the political will to tackle this issue. It does not lack the appetite for spin on the issue of course: they have Liam O'Brien to produce all the BNP-style sound bites. But the reality is very different. We have huge illegal immigration still and huge numbers of asylum seekers still. Keith Vaz was fibbing away this morning about how we now stop anyone who can't speak English from coming to these shores! He then slipped in it was a "proposal" - one which will be watered down to nothign in due course. Migration Watch UK have it right. We need a complete moratorium on immigration while we re-think policy. Key to reform: 1. Withdrawing from the refugee treaties. We'll take in refugees - but those of our choosing from deserving places like Zimbabwe, Tibet and Iran. 2. Tightening all border controls. 3. Dismantling the something for nothing welfare state. 4. Decoupling foreign worker status from citizenship status. 5. Improving the quality of long stay immigrants so we don't import criminals, welfare spongers, totalitarian political fanatics or similar undesirables. 6. Detention for all asylum seekers and non authorised immigrants. As in Australia this needs to be somewhere less than cosy and secure. 7. Bringing in a workable points system for inward migration and ensuring that all immigrants are committed to learning English, democratic values and the British constitution.

I am not British nor in Britain so am reluctant to add much, being removed from the situation. However, as a citizen of the commonwealth, I would add my sincere hopes that the people of Britain find a renewed sense of who they are, and a revival of their spirits.

Harriet

I'm just getting used to this site as I've migrated from Melanie's earlier website, do visit the 'Magazine' section to read Rod Liddle's essay: 'The Archbishop is little more than a posh John Prescott in a black dress', which I thoroughly enjoyed reading this afternoon.

Mike Homfray

Typical right-wing alarmist nonsense from a tired, right-wing group of has-beens. They don't represent me or what I want Britain to be. So, myes, I strongl;y support one standard for all - but that standard should be liberal, encompassing equality for gay people, for example. And somehow I don't see reactionaries such as yourself agreeing to those ideals!

Mladen Andrijasevic

“In addition, Britain has only a bare-bones defence and security establishment” Frankly, I was shocked when I heard on Sky News that the RAF today has 278 combat planes! Having read Churchill's “The Second World War” and the pivotal role the RAF played in the Battle of Britain I was indeed puzzled . Israel today has 362 F-16s and 75 F-15s.

See -- this is where Melanie comes in . . .

This subject reminds me of a body getting infected with Malaria. It has no inherited protection from the parasite carried by the mosquito. To a European the best protection is not getting infected in the first place. Keep away from the carrier, avoid it's breeding ground, and sleep under protective nets at night. The insect has become resistant to eradication chemicals making the terrible infections as serious a problem as ever it was. Once infected the body can never be cured of it and only by death will the infection be eliminated.

it's not enough to do what's best you must do whaterer is necessary! winston churchill.maybe you could learn smoething from the danes.

The BBC's-TVs failure to cover the RUSI story is bordering on the sinister. There for us all to see and wonder at is one of the world's premier broadcasting organizations stunned like a rabbit caught in the headlights. It seems that following the failure of the Today Program to bluster and spin it out of court, someone at the BBC decided the recourse open to them was to ignore the unprecedented RUSI intervention and hope nobody noticed. The problem is that we did notice the BBC's inexplicable action and have drawn the conclusion that the world's greatest propaganda machine is beginning to implode under the weight of its own contradictions

Jeremy Jacobs

"Israel today has 362 F-16s and 75 F-15s." and your point is Mladen? (BTW, and about 200 nuclear warheads)

Ann

His point is that Britain should have at least the same order of magnitude of similar aircraft - I thought that was pretty obvious. 200, eh? You know this for a fact, or is it just the usual speculation about Israel from people who know little or nothing about it?
