Britain remains the most tolerant country on Earth, with the deep conservatism of a people who have inherited institutions, traditions, and customs that are the envy of the world. That is why so many people want to come here, to live the British dream as I have done.
Ironically, people like the author (and myself!) have run away from the consequences of multiculturalism in our native countries, to come and reproduce the same problems here. 😔 What's currently happening in England is not foreign to me, and I fear the worse is yet to come...
Funny that, the leadership of the DDR also refused discussing anything outside of communism, even after the wall fell...
Good riddance to both!

DDR = Deutsche Demokratische Republik (former Eastern Germany)
reply
Yep, and they were soooo democratic that they tried to keep their citizens walled in!
Kinda like Canada these days with that insane exit tax...
Well, at least they did not whack their own for being homeless or depressed :-/

Something called history... ;-)
For us who remember the fall of the Berlin wall there are sooo many parallels!
Not saying the top, utterly corrupt fuckers will give up as easily, but they're equally deluded and isolated.
reply
You see parallels between UK today and East Germany in 1989?
I don't recall East Germany having open immigration from North Africa and the Middle East
reply
The leadership, they are equally removed from and deluded about what is going on outside of their bubble.
Lots of things are different, but this is the same, or even worse!
reply
The situation in England is worse because East Germany had less to lose

You become what you import.
Import the third world, become the third world.
Import Islam and now your country is filled with mosques and radicals chanting "death to the west" or "death to America" The novel Camp of the Saints published in 1973, written by Raspail, predicted all of this with 99% accuracy.
Britain remains a tolerant country but the immigrants are intolerant. Immigrants and the British establishment have the same goal: destroy England, destroy Great Britain, destroy Western culture
Author writes: But from terror attacks in the name of a radical interpretation of Islam, to marches on the streets of London that have prevented Jews from going outside, our unwillingness to engage with these issues has led to chaos. Islam is a great world religion, and most of its tenets are easily compatible with British values.
Which tenets of Islam are easily compatible with British values?
Islam is not compatible with British values. This guy is part of the problem
From the comment section:
Islam is simply not compatible with western way of life. Violence and bigotry towards non believers are baked into the very DNA of it. When Muslims are in minority then its all about minority rights and secularism. When their numbers are even barely equal relative to the host population, then its armed street gangs, thuggery and rape as seen in Sweden, UK, France not to mention places like Israel, Syria. Ask the Yazidis in Iraq, Jews and Christians in Middle East and Hindus in Pakistan how the life under Islam is. Trump was correct in banning these barbarians.

I personally try not to blame the people who want to improve their situation by moving somewhere else, I just don't think it's productive.
The root of the problem is the incompetence of the political class, and the pervert incentives they've introduced, allowing people to game the system. The classical tragedy of commons, basically...
The political elite only wants us to get distracted by fighting each other, instead of calling out their incompetence.
reply
Let's blame the political class.
Let's call out their incompetence.
What needs to happen?
How do we make the political class more competent or less incompetent?
What are the perverse incentives and how do we fix them?
Who is gaming the system? How do change the game or the system or both?

I know nothing better than humbly stacking sats, and encouraging others to do the same.
Seriously.

How do we prevent school girls from being slaughtered to death?
What about closing the border? Setting up a barrier or wall?
Maybe we should punish violent criminals for justice and deterrence
You have children? How would you react if your children were stabbed to death by the son of immigrants?
Your reaction would be anger and revenge.
The solution is to destroy the political class because they are the enemy. You don't negotiate or compromise with the enemy.
