Though this unrest is primarily focussed on <em>immigration<\/em> enforcement, they are almost exclusively white, college-educated, graduate liberal progressives (known as &#8220;socialists&#8221; in most other parts of the world), with their keffiyehs, and free Palestine bumper stickers and flags, you have a feeling we have seen them before tearing up the college campuses\u2014this is just another stepping stone to the revolutionary destruction of a corrupt imperialist oppressor otherwise known as the United States, and the wider deconstruction and destruction of the West.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing, as a matter of policy, that should be said about this is that you cannot, ahead of a full investigation, possibly understand whether or not the Good\/Pretti killings were <em>\u201ccold-blood murder\u201d<\/em> or <em>\u201cofficer justified killings.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 You do not have the legal expertise, domain knowledge, and\/or training to assess the many different video angles that are now out there, or to judge whether the officers <em>perceived<\/em> themselves to be under threat to a reasonable degree (that is the Supreme Court standard.) \u00a0Even now, the initial hagiographic accounts of the martyr couple have proved untrue as additional evidence has come to light regarding the conduct of the individuals involved in both tragic homicides.<\/p>\n<p>Pretti was involved in a violent altercation with officers 10 days before he was shot, the video of that incident makes it clear he was armed then and <em>wanted<\/em> a violent confrontation.\u00a0 He had an <em>additional<\/em> magazine on the day he was killed, it seemed he was prepared, even desired, more violence. Similarly, Renee\u2019s ex brother-in-law has already said she had no business being where she was and it seems Renee was mentally unable to look after all her children, her older sons live with their biological father.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a>\u00a0 In my view her \u201cwife\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a> was the person most responsible for her death (she features prominently in videos of the event), she encouraged Renee to ignore the direction of federal officers and encouraged her to drive away, striking the officer and causing him to unholster and discharge his weapon.\u00a0 Her \u201cwife\u201d wasted no time in lawyering up with an expensive, civil rights lawyer on the back of a GoFundMe that had raised $1.5 million in a matter of days.<a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tragic as these killings were, it was clear these were <em>not<\/em> passive observers as permitted by the law and Constitution, but trained agitators intent on disrupting federal operations which is itself a felony offence with up to 10-years jailtime.\u00a0 Someone has made the observation that if the feds had not been so lenient with Pretti in the first altercation, he would not have been there to die in the second. It is utterly irresponsible for say the chief of Minneapolis police to come out and tacitly admit as much when he said, <em>\u201ceven if this turns out to be an officer justified killing [the community does not care].\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Nevertheless, surely, <em>you<\/em> as chief of police, really <em>should<\/em> care because otherwise you have anarchy and mob rule on your streets,<a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a> it is not what you \u201cfeel\u201d about a law or an incident, but the objective assessment of it.<\/p>\n<p>The chief of police went on to make the further point that he could not police the city because most of the police had left following the \u201csummer of love\u201d in 2020 post-George Floyd when rioters were burning down Minneapolis.\u00a0 That is not an excuse but a political description of what caused the problem, the direct result of the \u201cdefund the police\u201d campaign, and the refusal of the local politicians to stand with their police in the face of Marxist, revolutionary violence. \u00a0Rather, his role should have been to call out the violence for what it was and lobby the mayor\/governor to deploy the national guard, if necessary, to ensure order.\u00a0 Then to state exactly what the required standards of conduct were to maintain lawful, constitutionally permitted, \u201cobservation\u201d of ICE activities by protestors.<\/p>\n<p>The second issue that should be addressed is that on the face of it, the sudden outbreak of chaos in <em>this<\/em> particular locality should be surprising, Minneapolis is a relatively small American city with just 500 000 residents, LA has around 4 million and New York 8.5 million, and ICE operations in those localities have not produced this ferocious level of opposition.\u00a0 Such public unrest has not been seen since the 2020 post-George Floyd BLM\/Antifa movements who have Marxist, revolutionary, political violence built-into their DNA. There are also the fellow-travellers within the pop-culture at large where we have now seen celebrity pronouncements of support and the tears of late-night TV-hosts streamed for the world to see; Bruce Springsteen has even written a protest song, <em>&#8220;Streets of Minneapolis&#8221;<\/em><em>\u200a<a href=\"#_ftn7\" name=\"_ftnref7\"><strong>[7]<\/strong><\/a><\/em> and Lady Gaga stopped her Japanese concert to lecture and instruct her Japanese audience.<a href=\"#_ftn8\" name=\"_ftnref8\">[8]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A third issue is that of the lawlessness and corruption of Minneapolis city and Minnesota state, this created the conditions suitable for the manifestation of the issues we noted above. The governor, ex-vice-Presidential candidate Tim Walz, and Minneapolis mayor<a href=\"#_ftn9\" name=\"_ftnref9\">[9]<\/a> Jacob Frey have assumed postures of <em>active<\/em> non-cooperation with the federal authorities with the latter declaring Minneapolis as a \u201csanctuary city\u201d within Walz\u2019 declaration of the Minnesota state itself as a sanctuary state.<a href=\"#_ftn10\" name=\"_ftnref10\">[10]<\/a>\u00a0 Frey, noted for his weeping whilst holding the casket of George Floyd, went on national TV to tell ICE to <em>\u201cget the f*** out of Minneapolis\u201d<\/em> and Walz compared the unrest to Minnesota\u2019s stand to the actions precipitating the Civil War.<a href=\"#_ftn11\" name=\"_ftnref11\">[11]<\/a>\u00a0 It is grist for the mill to compare the federal agents of ICE to the Nazi Gestapo, with Walz even going as far as to say that the story of Anne Frank will be rewritten for Minnesotan children.<a href=\"#_ftn12\" name=\"_ftnref12\">[12]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is remarkable on the face of it because ICE is, in fact, just federal agents enforcing federal laws <em>passed by Congress.<\/em>\u00a0 That a state or a city is actively refusing to comply and assist them is likely contrary to the \u201cSupremacy Clause\u201d of the Constitution,<a href=\"#_ftn13\" name=\"_ftnref13\">[13]<\/a> with such opposition legitimately described as insurrectionary\u2014some of the rhetoric coming from political Left is now <em>openly<\/em> arguing for revolutionary activity.\u00a0 It did not take long to find protestors and agitators online shouting in their bedrooms and living rooms that <em>\u201cthe time for peaceful protest is over, get your guns!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Unfortunately for them, as some have found out, this is not protected speech under the First Amendment but incitement which is a crime for which you are likely to do time.<a href=\"#_ftn14\" name=\"_ftnref14\">[14]<\/a>\u00a0 The smarter ones have quickly deleted their social media, videos, and have lawyered up.<\/p>\n<p>However, the First Amendment right to protest does indeed run deep in the American psyche and has a firm Constitutional pedigree, one late night host quoting passages from the preamble to the Constitution made the case that the people <em>can<\/em> rebel and organise revolutionary activity to eject a corrupt government. Formally, I can agree with that and have argued so elsewhere,<a href=\"#_ftn15\" name=\"_ftnref15\">[15]<\/a> but he committed a basic category error in his logic, his reasoning is illegitimate in this instance. What in fact is playing out in Minnesota, which looks like it may well play out shortly in California as a similar pattern emerges, is that the \u201ccorruption\u201d is not primarily on the federal side of the equation (Trump has been busy, with some success, in fumigating that swamp) but firmly on the sides of both the State and City level political legislatures and governments; their brazen facilitation of illegal immigration for purely naked political purposes, has been exposed in glorious Technicolor for the whole of America to see.<a href=\"#_ftn16\" name=\"_ftnref16\">[16]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, that brings us to the most important part of our discussion we introduced earlier: <em>the methodology of the Left.<\/em> The methodology of the Left, in fact more specifically the new, Internationalist Left, has now in its most important component parts, been forced out into the open.\u00a0 The motivation and agenda of these \u201cradicals\u201d who have been largely clandestine or restrained and hidden for decades, quietly embedding Marxism and revolution within the educational and cultural institutions of the West, is here being forcibly exposed, where it had previously been the stuff of conspiracy theories.\u00a0 Importantly, this is not just a national American strategy, but is replicated throughout the West, with one simple aim <em>\u201cto burn it all down\u201d<\/em> and replace it with a new international order.<\/p>\n<p>This <em>\u201cburn it all down\u201d<\/em> was a phrase I heard on an interview with a young, white radical at a BLM\/Antifa rally in 2020.\u00a0 When the interviewer cautiously pointed out that what they wanted to burn down was their very own protected right to protest and their own freedom which at that very instant they were exercising, all the interviewee could say was <em>\u201cwell, allegedly, we are free.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 No, believe me, you are free\u2014try being an Iranian doing what you are doing in Tehran now, the Guards will shoot you dead as they have done to 30 000 of their own countrymen (the most conservative estimate as of Jan 2026) during the current wave of unrest with their Islamic rulers.\u00a0 It would be amiss not to note the absolute silence of those screaming \u201cgenocide\u201d at the loss of around 70 000 Palestinian lives during two years of the Gaza conflict.\u00a0 The Iranians could well do the same in a matter of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The noise and ferocity of the insurrection in Minnesota is the realisation that the wheels could come off this revolutionary agenda by exposing the template of State corruption that funds their revolutionary activity.\u00a0 The illegitimate pipeline of corruption exposed in Minnesota is indeed brazen and startling.\u00a0 First, the American taxpayers of the State have had <em>billions<\/em> stolen and laundered from State level Medicare and Medicaid social programmes, funnelled into the immigrant Somali community (sometimes with NGO intermediaries), who had built a network of fake daycare businesses for the single purpose of leveraging these funds for parochial Somali advancement.<a href=\"#_ftn17\" name=\"_ftnref17\">[17]<\/a>\u00a0 Calling them \u201cfake\u201d is not too strong a characterisation; after citizen journalist\u2019s Nick Shirley\u2019s exposure of the questionable status of the businesses, funding was unilaterally halted by the federal government.<a href=\"#_ftn18\" name=\"_ftnref18\">[18]<\/a>\u00a0 Not a <em>single<\/em> business affected by this withdrawal of funding has come forward to prove that they are a legitimate business though one did theatrically have a news conference where they claimed their business was broken into and their records stolen.\u00a0 We saw a filing cabinet in the office and were shown a hole in the wall, obviously no cloud backups there! Call me cynical but, <em>\u201cif you believe that I have a snow making factory in Alaska to sell you\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Second, the fact that the fraud was perpetrated within an <em>immigrant<\/em> community is one of the most significant variables here and one of the reasons why it is politically supercharged.\u00a0 The facilitation of legal and illegal immigration into the US, mirrored in most Western European and Australasian nations over the last 40-years, has caused, and is causing a major demographic shift. \u00a0This in turn has pushed the balance of national politics leftward and towards the internationalist, globalist programme, the Left has coopted these immigrants to their cause. This is the master plan that has been exposed through this scandal and what is behind the extreme violence. Though this concept of \u201cdemographics is destiny\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn19\" name=\"_ftnref19\">[19]<\/a> was a well-argued academic concept during the 2000s and a well-articulated feature of Leftist thinking where the colonised would finally extract retribution from the colonisers by the reverse colonisation of the colonisers\u2019 homelands, talk of a \u201cgrand replacement theory\u201d was branded a conspiracy theory and \u201cracist\u201d in the Biden years.\u00a0 As we all know, being called a \u201cracist\u201d had become the largest sin that could be committed in the modern West since the time of Obama.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Biden, or more likely the politburo in his absence through diminished mental function, had explicitly characterised Trump\u2019s 2016 sealing of the border by 472 different executive orders during his first term as \u201cracist.\u201d His administration set about reversing them at a pace, issuing an enormous 296 new orders<a href=\"#_ftn20\" name=\"_ftnref20\">[20]<\/a> in its first year to usher in a new era of <em>\u201ccompassion for the stranger.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><b>We should pause and consider this phrase <em>\u201ccompassion for the stranger\u201d<\/em> because it is a biblical quote that frequently appears in Leviticus and is used by some to provide a biblical justification for embracing unrestricted immigration.\u00a0 As per usual, the failure to consider the whole context here causes this erroneous inference.\u00a0 Leviticus indeed tells us we <em>\u201cshould make room for the stranger,\u201d<\/em> and that <em>\u201cthere is one and the same law for the stranger and the native born.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 However, it also makes clear that the stranger is committed to integrating into the culture of the host nation, not creating a self-contained enclave or ghetto.\u00a0 The <em>\u201cone law for the stranger and the native born\u201d<\/em> is as much a <em>responsibility<\/em> as it is a \u201cright.\u201d That is, in modern immigration discussion parlance, the biblical model is a \u201cmelting pot\u201d, not a \u201csalad bowl\u201d&mdash;the salad bowl is the modern metaphor for identity-based politics in immigration.\u00a0 In contrast, the melting pot was the intent of the American founders, who based it on the correct interpretation of the scriptures of Leviticus (the Liberty Bell was also engraved with a scripture from the book), all <em>could<\/em> come to the United States but that was to be an <em>American<\/em> first.<\/b><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>In other words, for the Biden cabal, the border was now \u201copen again for business\u201d and \u201copen\u201d it certainly was. \u00a0There was a literal flood across the American Southern border, people could not get in quick enough from all around the world; piles of discarded passports were left next to holes or gaps in the border fence, the immigrants would then go to locations where they knew the Border patrol would pick them up, they would be processed, and provisionally admitted into the interior where with a court date for a hearing pushed in some cases to a decade in the future, they could disappear into immigrant communities of their own choice (courtesy of a free flight or transit) and the black economy if they so desired to work.<\/p>\n<p>However, in some states and cities no such subterfuge was necessary, they advertised themselves as \u201csanctuary cities\u201d and fresh off the complimentary bus-ride or American Airlines flight, you would be issued work authorisation on arrival, as well as subsistence allowances, accommodation, and three meals a day.\u00a0 Most were admitted on the tacit understanding that they would never appear for their hearings and would not be pursued. The abuse of the CBP app was another scandal, at least 459 000 illegal aliens from \u201cinadmissible countries\u201d (like <em>Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua<\/em> who are normally ineligible to apply to enter the US on \u201cnational security\u201d grounds) were \u201cparoled\u201d into the country, bypassing normal port of entry checks, and processed into the country simply with a \u2018Notice To Appear\u2019 at some future date.<a href=\"#_ftn21\" name=\"_ftnref21\">[21]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest scandals of this Biden era was the handling of \u201cundocumented minors\u201d (unaccompanied children to the rest of us).\u00a0 Most of the identity and verification requirements were relaxed or unenforced. All that was required was for some \u201csponsor\u201d to be registered as the destination for the child, and they would be shipped to the target address.\u00a0 No genetic test was done, and the receiver did not even have to pick the child up personally.\u00a0 There were over 300 000 children \u201clost\u201d in this manner, this was effectively government facilitated trafficking of children\u2014recently thousands have been traced by the Trump administration found working illegally on cannabis farms and, unsurprisingly, in the pornography and sex-trades.<a href=\"#_ftn22\" name=\"_ftnref22\">[22]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons this is so culturally impactful and politically significant is that Congressional seats are allocated based on absolute population in a district. No discrimination is made between legal or illegal, and combined with voter registration for local jurisdictions regardless of immigration status practised in many Democratic controlled states, this provides a powerful means of consolidating political power. Although federal law in most US-states (and many other Western nations) mandate that only citizens can vote in <em>national<\/em> elections, states and cities can allow non-citizens to vote on local issues.\u00a0 However, in practice, some states have also issued non-citizens with \u201cofficial\u201d IDs, driving licenses etc that are so close to the \u201ccitizen\u201d versions that if they were required to show them, would appear to be government issued IDs for citizens.\u00a0 They are clearly designed to masquerade as government IDs to facilitate illegal voting in <em>national<\/em> elections, and to compromise other activities legally limited to citizens (such as the claiming of social security benefits).<a href=\"#_ftn23\" name=\"_ftnref23\">[23]<\/a>\u00a0 Some states, notably Minnesota again, have publicly declared these IDs provide a <em>\u201cpath to citizenship.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In some cases, the subversion of federal voting law is blatant, there are jurisdictions which have <em>banned<\/em> officials from requesting IDs when someone is voting at <em>any<\/em> time.<a href=\"#_ftn24\" name=\"_ftnref24\">[24]<\/a>\u00a0 All you need is an address.<a href=\"#_ftn25\" name=\"_ftnref25\">[25]<\/a> This is because it is \u201cracist\u201d\u2014apparently black and brown people do not possess sufficient intelligence to obtain an official ID\u2014and inequitable\u2014they do not have professions or a social position where they would ever be required to have a government ID.\u00a0 Of course, I am being tongue in cheek here.\u00a0 In my view, it is actually insulting and explicitly racist to argue for this policy for black and brown people.\u00a0 You could argue equally (as, unfortunately, some do) that the same concession should be made for rural white folks (not considered by Democrats as the sharpest tools in the box) and married women who would have to prove their change in name\u2014both a birth certificate and a marriage license!<a href=\"#_ftn26\" name=\"_ftnref26\">[26]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All these seem obvious attempts to leverage the illegal immigrant vote for political purposes not just at the local level, but at the <em>national<\/em> level.\u00a0 That completes the circle and explains the obsession amongst the Western Leftist elites to promote immigration by all and every means necessary to usher in the new post-national age. Justin Trudeau, onetime premier of Canada made the statement \u201cCanada was the first post-nation state\u201d country when he re-assumed office for the session after re-election in 2019 during the \u201cpeak woke\u201d period, he advertised the world over for immigrants to come to Canada.\u00a0 Consequently, Canada now has an enormous problem with radical Islam because many radical Muslim immigrants took him up on his offer.\u00a0 The same can be said for most European countries, including my own which have seen major incidents of Islamic violence.\u00a0 This was an expression of the new orthodoxy that <em>\u201canyone from anywhere in the world can choose to live wherever they want,\u201d<\/em> a sentiment also explicitly expressed by Michelle Wu, the present mayor of Boston, Mass.<\/p>\n<p>This is the \u201cgrand replacement theory\u201d in practise in the US and this occurs in my home of Britain too. The British government under communist-lite Starmer, even has a special section on their website where action is threatened against those who propagate such \u201cracist\u201d theories.\u00a0 Tweeting any sentiments that might suggest mass immigration is Islamising and working against the interest of the native British, is \u201cIslamophobic\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn27\" name=\"_ftnref27\">[27]<\/a> and likely to get you imprisoned in Starmer\u2019s Britain\u2014this is not a small problem, hundreds have been arrested over their social media posts, and many have done jailtime over it.\u00a0 The people are now reacting strongly throughout Europe, and the rise of Farage\u2019s Reform UK and other populist Right leaders, has finally provoked the mainstream European leaders to <em>look<\/em> as if they are taking a harder line on immigration after they have facilitated millions upon millions of immigrants, primarily from Muslim nations.<\/p>\n<p>This is an act of political expedience and self-preservation for them, not principle, but for the first time ever, the French and English navies are intercepting boats to disrupt and prevent crossings rather than just providing a lift to shore for these economic migrants who are sure to claim asylum at the first opportunity.\u00a0 The vast majority of these \u201crefugee\u201d migrants have not been \u201cfamilies\u201d but young, single men of fighting age.<a href=\"#_ftn28\" name=\"_ftnref28\">[28]<\/a>\u00a0 Some have argued that we have imported an army, and the scenes of radical HAMAS supporting hordes marching across the bridges of our most famous cities, bringing them to a halt for everyone else on a Saturday afternoon, is that army we have welcomed to our own destruction.<\/p>\n<p>The conflict in Minnesota makes it really clear just how over the target the replacement concept is.\u00a0 The Left has made its playbook clear, in return for the laundering of American tax-payer funds to you as an immigrant community, your only requirement is to vote at election time <em>for<\/em> your benefactors.\u00a0 There is estimated to be between 80 000 and 100 000 Somali residents (new immigrants and the naturalised) in the Minneapolis-St Paul metropolitan area, and, in common with many Islamic communities around the globe, they tend to vote as a bloc in line with the instructions of the clan or community leaders, for those politicians that are said to best <em>\u201crepresent their interests.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 The relationship is a reciprocal one\u2014any politician who wants to be successful services this community, courts this community, and acts in the interests of that community, that they might stay in power.\u00a0 <em>Nothing<\/em> is done that will alienate this community.\u00a0 A very similar pattern occurs across Europe;<a href=\"#_ftn72\" name=\"_ftnref72\">[72]<\/a> large cities now have large immigrant communities that tend to vote \u201cLeft\u201d.\u00a0 In the 2024 election, the Labour Party\u2019s strategy in the UK was to focus on these high population areas, and by securing those votes were able to offset their lukewarm or non-existent support in the non-urban areas.\u00a0 They obtained 412 of the 650 \u2018seats\u2019 (63%) in the parliament with just 33.7% of the vote; an inditement if ever there was of the British electoral system. <a href=\"#_ftn29\" name=\"_ftnref29\">[29]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The reality of this is particularly vivid for me, I was the last white person in my street in an area that became Muslim.\u00a0 In a space of just 18-months I had watched the last few remaining white families move out and Muslim Asians move in.\u00a0 I was the last holdout not wishing to surrender ownership in an area in which I was born and felt a special connection to.\u00a0 However, the locus of political power had moved and there was reverse racism in the correct technical sense against the white remnant\u2014the local councillors were Muslim, and when there was a serious issue with some locals who took exception to me saying they would need to wait 20-minutes for me to finish my short lunchbreak back from work before I could move my car parked on an unrestricted public street outside of my own flat (but on a local Mosque day), both the councillors and the police simply gave me one piece of advice, \u201cmove out.\u201d\u00a0 To emphasise the point, for two consecutive nights following my failure to comply, the local Muslim mafia disconnected parts of the car from the body to \u201cencourage me\u201d to move immediately when requested.<a href=\"#_ftn30\" name=\"_ftnref30\">[30]<\/a> \u00a0I also witnessed \u201cballot harvesting\u201d by local activists which is far more a bigger deal in the UK because postal voting is only permitted where there are extenuating circumstances.\u00a0 The organisation necessary to get a community to register for postal votes and then to harvest them, was an impressive achievement by the activists seeking to advantage their community by getting into power those that are promoted to work on their behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, it is notable that some now jailed Somali conspirators were prominent donors to the senior Democratic politicians, pictured with them at fundraisers.\u00a0 Even more scandalous was that the current Attorney General of the State, the chief law officer, was caught on tape explaining to these same conspirators how he would act to shield them from investigation.<a href=\"#_ftn31\" name=\"_ftnref31\">[31]<\/a>\u00a0 He remains in office, the clear implication being that the governor\u2019s office was complicit in the conspiracy, though governor Walz has now abandoned his re-election bid and declared further that he will never run for public office again; one might consider this a shrewd move seeking to mitigate any potential prosecution by voluntarily abandoning the field of battle before you are humiliated.\u00a0 If ever there was an implicit admission of guilt, that was it.\u00a0 It truly is astonishing that the entire apparatus and government of the State have been compromised to maintain the dominance of one political party but that speaks to the discipline and mission of the Left: <em>to maintain political power at all costs<\/em>.<a href=\"#_ftn32\" name=\"_ftnref32\">[32]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is exemplified in the ins and outs of the dynamics surrounding how the conspiracy with the Somali community operated, it was articulated in masterful fashion by the Somalian refugee, Ayaan Hirsi Ali.<a href=\"#_ftn33\" name=\"_ftnref33\">[33]<\/a> She talks about the clan-based culture of the community, who view their own self-interest as supreme: <em>if<\/em> the American system is staffed by those stupid enough to give them tax-payer money, and who will rollover whenever you cry \u201cit is racist to ask me to justify these millions you have paid me in the last two years\u201d <em>then<\/em> it is the <em>duty<\/em> of the Somali community to take the money.\u00a0 Further, whenever an official asks for clarification of an invoice, a prominent member of the community cries \u201cracist\u201d, threatens to run a media campaign exposing the racism at the heart of the administration, gives the AG a ring, and that is the end of that.\u00a0 You have to admire their ruthlessness in guilt-tripping the white liberal bureaucrat, the invoices got bigger and bigger each year. As Ayaan (and other Somali professors have confirmed), defrauding the government is considered a <em>cultural norm<\/em> and a way to get ahead<em>. <\/em>Members of the community even bragged about \u201cAmerican money\u201d funding the insurgency in Somalia itself or funding the political campaigns of the Somalian diaspora in other African nations.<a href=\"#_ftn34\" name=\"_ftnref34\">[34]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This facilitation of the corruption by servicing an immigrant minority is what Professor Gad-Saad, himself a refugee from the Lebanese Civil War, describes as \u201csuicidal empathy.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn35\" name=\"_ftnref35\">[35]<\/a>\u00a0 The Western mind with its post-Christian values of mercy, natural law, political pluralism, freedom of speech, liberty of conscience, a respect for the individual, and the freedom of thought, is unable to understand that there are cultures so different from itself that would consider such Western \u201cvirtues\u201d as weak and unvirtuous.<a href=\"#_ftn36\" name=\"_ftnref36\">[36]<\/a>\u00a0 To exploit your na\u00efve benefactors is the morally commendable imperative, you support and defend <em>your<\/em> people, <em>your<\/em> nation at <em>their<\/em> expense.\u00a0 Minnesota was to be co-opted as part of a Greater Somalia.\u00a0 In other words, the great rights we grant to the immigrant by means of our Constitution and \u201cdue process\u201d, become the means by which you destroy your own nation because the immigrant has an incommensurable worldview.<\/p>\n<p>More generally, to the Islamicist, once the host nation of America or of Europe has been fully Islamised (Islam has become the majority community), there would be a single opportunity to convert or to be executed, prohibitively taxed, or enslaved. \u00a0Islamic theology allows a special tax to be levied on unbelievers, who become \u201cinfidels\u201d when they refuse to convert.\u00a0 Infidels are free to be used as slaves if they are not executed, as the Yazidi women of Iraq found out when ISIS committed genocide on their community when they refused to give up their Christianity; if not executed like their men, they became the sex slaves of their captors. As one apologist has put it, Muslim communities are very concerned over minority rights, and will agitate aggressively for them <em>until<\/em> they become the majority; they will then <em>impose<\/em> their way of life on the minority\u2014Islam literally means \u201cto submit\u201d<em>\u2014if<\/em> Islam really <em>is<\/em> the word of the supreme God Allah, <em>then<\/em> that is indeed the correct logical imperative, the only response of a human being to the declared will of God <em>is<\/em> to submit to it.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Islam views itself politically as <em>theocratic,<\/em> not democratic; all human life is subject to the will and explicit, direct rule of Allah.\u00a0 Again, I might be prepared to acknowledge the formal correctness of the Islamic logic,\u00a0 it might be argued that the history of Israel in the Hebrew scriptures where the religious cult was instituted was <em>also<\/em> theocratic, many passages where God gave the Law to the Hebrews is suffixed with \u201cI am the LORD\u201d which basically meant \u201cI am the supreme boss and discussion of this matter is foreclosed.\u201d However, in stark contrast to Islam, the Hebrew scriptures distinguished modalities of human activity from the divine (where God declared how people were to worship and serve him) and the LORD himself instructed His people to \u201cgovern themselves\u201d in civil matters, with a clear three-tier legal judicial structure.\u00a0 This is why the framers of the American constitution arrived at a separation of powers and the tension between the different arms of government, deriving many principles directly from the Hebrew texts.\u00a0 It is also of no surprise that the modern democratic movement did not, contrary to the argument of many secularists, take its inspiration so much from the absolute and chaotic democracy of Ancient Greece via the secular Enlightenment, but in the republicanism that emerged from the Christian Reformation began by Luther and Calvin.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to the liberty flowing from the Christian tradition, there really is a pattern of cultural degeneration that has been seen throughout the world in nations that Islamise. \u00a0Here in the UK, we have parents marrying off their underage daughters to relatives in Pakistan. This is again something I have personal experience with. When I was 17, I lived in a hostel for homeless young people.\u00a0 Whilst on a training course for working with youngsters from troubled homes, I met a sensitive, beautiful Asian young woman.\u00a0 She lived in a hostel close to us with twelve other Asian women who were all runaways from home to avoid being married off to relatives in Pakistan. Similarly, we have \u201chonour killings\u201d so frequently they never even reach the news. When I was studying in 1992 for an MSc in Electronic Engineering, one of the Doctoral students was a Muslim from Birmingham.\u00a0 He introduced me to his girlfriend who was from the same community and ethnic group as him but was from a Sikh family.<\/p>\n<p>We had many discussions about the ins and outs of Islam out of hours, but I learnt that he and his girlfriend had to keep their relationship secret when they had joint community events together because, at the very least, they would suffer ostracization from their communities as they would be viewed as \u201cdisgracing\u201d their families.\u00a0 In such cases, it was perfectly permissible for either family to kill their offending family member to \u201crecover the honour\u201d of the family.\u00a0 Another friend of mine from sixth form<a href=\"#_ftn37\" name=\"_ftnref37\">[37]<\/a> was a Hindu woman, we met a few years later in the local rockers bar and she told me that she now had to live apart from her family and community because she had refused to accept an arranged marriage; a brother would kill her if she <em>\u201cembarrassed the family again.\u201d<\/em> It must be emphasised that these were at least second-generation immigrants, people that were born here but whose own community rules and laws were of more importance and more binding than British law.<a href=\"#_ftn38\" name=\"_ftnref38\">[38]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most present current scandal is that \u201cgrooming gangs\u201d have operated for decades with virtual impunity within the Muslim communities where the perverse logic is that the infidel, predominantly white girls can be used to fund the Islamic cause via the proceeds of prostitution.<a href=\"#_ftn39\" name=\"_ftnref39\">[39]<\/a>\u00a0 It is culturally so toxic that successive governments just ignored and buried the evidence.\u00a0 The lack of action by police examined in previous enquiries, all of which failed to satisfy victims because they \u201cwhitewashed\u201d the findings in some way, nevertheless did identify that it was frequently attributed to the fear of being called \u201cracist\u201d that prevented the allegations from being investigated properly. Finally, in 2024, after allegations that this may have been happening for decades, and after what was perceived as various sham reports and cover-ups since the Rotherham grooming gang scandal of the early 2000s (no prosecutions were undertaken until 2024), an independent inquiry was announced, but it stalled because survivors withdrew because of their mistreatment during the proceedings and the chair resigned amidst controversy.\u00a0 It is still delayed, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/c-URRFPbjrc\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/c-URRFPbjrc<\/a> .\u00a0 The reason for this is not difficult and is line with the thesis of the essay, this is an enquiry into a <em>voting bloc<\/em> of the <em>ruling party,<\/em> they do not want it to proceed in any way that would compromise that support.\u00a0 Recent allegations are that the current mayor of London is involved in a cover-up of grooming gangs operating within the city.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, the \u201cIslamic cause\u201d is rather loosely conceived here as to increasing the political influence and power of those from historically Islamic nations and would have very little in common with the piety of some genuinely religious within those Muslim communities; it would be difficult to conceive of Sufi Muslims endorsing grooming gangs or opiate production.<a href=\"#_ftn40\" name=\"_ftnref40\">[40]<\/a>\u00a0 Yet, the practice of <em>\u201cdoing evil that good may come\u201d<\/em> is well mandated within modern Jihadi Islam, the Taliban and ISIS funded themselves by providing those they wish to conquer with a plentiful supply of opiates to aid in their own destruction and dissolution. \u201cJihad\u201d means \u201choly war\u201d and for the jihadist, it is the sacred duty of <em>every<\/em> Muslim to carry it out.<\/p>\n<p>Again, as a matter of personal recollection, at the time of the 9\/11 attack against the US, the BBC toured Whitechapel market (a Muslim area in London\u2019s East End) trying to find someone who would condemn the attack.\u00a0 It has stuck with me since then that <em>no one <\/em>interviewed was prepared to condemn it.\u00a0 The community are taught how they should think\u2014<em>they think in the interest of the Muslim community<\/em>.\u00a0 That is their <em>duty. <\/em>Around about the same time, I had a taxi journey (very rare for me, so I remember it) where the driver informed me of some remarkable information, if I saw the aerial with a small black flag on, that was an Al Qaeda supporter (Muslim drivers, in his words, would \u201cflood the ranks\u201d at certain times), and that Muslim drivers had been prosecuted because they were caught on camera in the train station celebrating the 9\/11 attacks.<a href=\"#_ftn41\" name=\"_ftnref41\">[41]<\/a>\u00a0 In the British cases, these prosecutions were buried and extremely secretive, not wishing to inflame \u201ccommunity relations\u201d with\u00a0 the police even protecting a <em>celebration<\/em> of the attacks, a year later, with a 500-strong force protecting the notorious Finsbury Park Mosque.<a href=\"#_ftn42\" name=\"_ftnref42\">[42]<\/a>\u00a0 Of course, my \u201ccommunity relations\u201d were very inflamed, on 9\/11 the company I was working for at the time lost 2\/3rds of its staff, i.e., <em>all<\/em> the US staff with an occasional exception for someone who got delayed or on a whim (or as a matter of divine providence) had stopped to have breakfast with their daughter. It was very sobering to realise the person you had been working with in the London office two weeks before was now gone.  This is a personal issue for me. Similarly, during the time of the ISIS caliphate, an estimated 250 000 British Muslims left to fight for them; to die fighting for Islam and against the infidels is, after all, the <em>highest<\/em> honour.\u00a0 The promotional videos aired on Lebanese TV showing the 20 virgins that could be yours in a future life are out there!<\/p>\n<p>In a similar vein, I was working a contract at a college in 2006, where three of the team members had just left the military (one was a senior officer, the other two were regular soldiers).\u00a0 They had seen real action in Iraq, and had come back, seemingly to me, as <em>raging<\/em> anti-British Muslims; I had never seen that before.\u00a0 On asking them why, they related to me that they were taking heavy fire in a district, eventually they overran the building and were going from room to room kicking in doors and finishing off the opposition who were busy shooting at them.\u00a0 On kicking in the doors on one floor, people started shouting at them in English, <em>\u201cDo not kill me, I am from Blackburn, I am from Burnley\u2026\u201d<\/em> These are towns in Northern England which have wards which are almost completely Muslim.<a href=\"#_ftn43\" name=\"_ftnref43\">[43]<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What had really got these guys was these were people who had been born in England to immigrant parents, but their loyalty was to <em>Islam<\/em> first, not to their country of birth, they had even fought with the country\u2019s enemies.<a href=\"#_ftn44\" name=\"_ftnref44\">[44]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In such regions, English is not spoken there, and schooling is often <em>parochial<\/em> <em>in practice<\/em> in the so-called State schools in addition to the religious instruction many of these communities give after normal school hours.<a href=\"#_ftn45\" name=\"_ftnref45\">[45]<\/a>\u00a0 My Mum worked at a school in a middle class district of Leicester, where in the space of a decade, they went from predominantly English, to almost completely Indian subcontinent (Muslim\/Hindu\/Sikh).\u00a0 Their biggest challenge was the need for interpreters, English was not spoken or understood.\u00a0 White English are now a minority in Leicester, decreased from 51% in 2011 to 40.9% in 2021.\u00a0 In other words, 10 out of 100 \u201cnative\u201d white residents of Leicester have been \u201creplaced\u201d in just a decade, Leicester South is now 37% Muslim.<a href=\"#_ftn46\" name=\"_ftnref46\">[46]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is of no surprise then that we see so much extreme Islamic violence now in the UK.\u00a0 It must be understood that the Jihadi version of Islam is by far the dominant ideology in Islam today, as evidenced in the pro-Palestinian movement that erupted amongst the Muslim diaspora in the Western nations that chanted <em>\u201cglobalise the Intifada.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 That means purge (i.e., put to death) the planet Earth of the infidels\u2014those who refuse to accept Islam; it is the sound of the Muslim revolution, and the revolutionary aspect is why it has so seamlessly dovetailed with the Marxist revolutionaries, the Red-Green alliance.\u00a0 However, once the West has been burnt down, there is every probability these revolutionaries would turn on each other, <em>\u201cthe enemy of my enemy who is my friend\u201d<\/em> is only my friend <em>until<\/em> the common enemy is vanquished.<\/p>\n<p>Violence is <em>the<\/em> way to solve disagreements in Islam, the HAMAS charter explicitly states that \u201cJihad\u201d, not peace conferences or treaties, is the way to solve disputes.\u00a0 The radical Jihadist respects the strength <em>alone<\/em> of an adversary, and it is perfectly acceptable to use lies and deception when negotiating with the Western enemy weakened by their moral scruples.<a href=\"#_ftn47\" name=\"_ftnref47\">[47]<\/a>\u00a0 Thus, the Iranian regime was happy to string the West along regarding its nuclear programme, even up to the moment Trump took direct action.\u00a0 It is notable how after this show of raw power, the planned public execution of 800 dissidents arrested during this last wave of unrest, was cancelled after Trump said, <em>\u201cyou do that, we are coming for you.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 This puts the exclamation point on our assertion above, <em>only<\/em> power is respected by the Jihadist.\u00a0 Until we understand the utter incommensurability of the Islamic worldview with the Western worldview, we will squander billions by giving aid to Palestine (which HAMAS used to build their military infrastructure) and welcoming those into our country that will destroy it.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it is interesting to consider in more detail as to <em>why<\/em> the Left came to favour and facilitate mass immigration, and to linkup with Islamic revolution.\u00a0 Historically, promoting immigration was not necessarily part of the ideology; as is oft neglected in the current Leftist consciousness, Barack Obama \u201cdeported\u201d over 6 million \u201cillegal\u201d immigrants, far more than previous Republican presidents.<a href=\"#_ftn48\" name=\"_ftnref48\">[48]<\/a>\u00a0 Just this week (Jan 21<sup>st<\/sup>, 2026) a speech about illegal immigration was circulating online that people had assumed was Trump\u2019s, it being characterised as racist and anti-immigrant.\u00a0 In fact, <em>it was a speech that had been made by Obama<\/em> from 2010.\u00a0 At this time, illegal immigration was frequently viewed by the Left around the world as capitalist exploitation by the importation of cheap immigrant labour at the cost of the native workers.\u00a0 Similarly, 20<sup>th<\/sup> century Leftist orthodoxy had always asserted religion of any kind as a mental illness, echoing the words of Marx and Engels in the Communist Manifesto, the <em>\u201copium of the people.\u201d<\/em>\u200a<a href=\"#_ftn49\" name=\"_ftnref49\">[49]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, what caused the change?\u00a0 Well, the clue is in the change that happened on the Left, the Left as it became <em>globalist<\/em> and <em>internationalist<\/em> lost the allegiance of the <em>national<\/em> citizen working class that had been its traditional base. Those working classes began to move progressively rightwards in response to the devastation of their communities caused by the outsourcing of their work in these last thirty years.<a href=\"#_ftn50\" name=\"_ftnref50\">[50]<\/a>\u00a0 Again, this was vivid for me, I can remember working a contract in 2003, leaving work on a Friday, having a week off, returning to work to find that virtually the whole team had been replaced by Indian contractors\u2014you could employ ten Indians for the price of a single native born; the economics for a company 30 bn in debt (as the one I was working on contract for) was compelling, as it was for many a multinational eager to boost its profitability.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, with such a policy you have to disregard the massive hardship that was caused to the native workers by this decision to outsource, and the entire contractor community within the industry I was in went into decline and recession for the best part of seven years.\u00a0 Our Left-wing government absolutely decimated the sector by the decision to embrace this outsourcing model, and we were even lectured in a global email by the \u201cdiversity champion\u201d (his official title) at the company how it was \u201cracist\u201d to criticise this model. Even now, despite the rebellion of the public at large against certain manifestations of this policy\u200a<a href=\"#_ftn51\" name=\"_ftnref51\">[51]<\/a> that caused the underlying globalism in the public square to retreat somewhat and rehabilitate its image, many indigenous workers left those sectors for good.\u00a0 Only in Trump\u2019s second term and \u201cAmerica First\u201d have we seen somewhat of the reversal of this new normal in the interests of the native worker.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, for the Left, recession and decimation were a necessary sacrifice for the goal of international reconstruction, and by 2013 the attitude to immigration had to dramatically change as these traditional working-class bases were hollowed out and the \u201cRust Belts\u201d of many a Western nation did precisely that, rusting out as work was outsourced overseas and the communities abandoned too often to unemployment, domestic violence, drugs, and alcohol abuse.\u00a0 The white working class were abandoned, becoming progressively disillusioned with the Left and were starting to reorientate towards the populist Right. Thus, for the Left, a new constituency and voting cohort was required to replace those uneducated racists\u2014enter the <em>immigrant<\/em>\u2014legal and illegal.<\/p>\n<p>This reached fever-pitch as Trump came on the scene in 2016 with the white proletariat firmly and overwhelmingly in his corner, Trump\u2019s first inauguration speech famous for the words <em>\u201cyou who have been forgotten are forgotten no more.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 To displace Trump required a massive <em>new<\/em> cohort; the rural, uneducated white man was irrecoverably racist, and the Left had become the party of the wealthy, the educated, the academic, and privileged elites who now had an active contempt for the white working class that the politicians had previously depended on for their powerbase. Hilary Clinton notoriously described them as a \u201cbasket of deplorables\u201d and it is now standard fare amongst the Left to declare that a \u201clack of education\u201d and \u201cracism\u201d is the explanation as to why rural white America (and not just white, but Hispanic and black men<a href=\"#_ftn52\" name=\"_ftnref52\">[52]<\/a> too) vote for Trump.<a href=\"#_ftn53\" name=\"_ftnref53\">[53]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That is, in summary, immigration represents a fresh cohort of voters to maintain their influence and powerbase. All the rhetoric, accusations of racism, agitation, violence, and international unrest can be explained through this lens. So, in Western Europe, and in my own country, immigration is facilitated by <em>any<\/em> means necessary.\u00a0 There has been a whole cottage industry of small inflatables coming across the English Channel for the last thirty years transporting <em>illegals<\/em> in addition to mass <em>legal<\/em> immigration from the EU. There were <em>massive<\/em> waves of legal immigration from Eastern Europe when the EU enlarged in 2004, 2007, and 2013.\u00a0 The Schengen protocols meant that free movement within the bloc was possible for all full members and move westwards in Europe the joining Eastern European nations did at the <em>first<\/em> opportunity after enlargement. For example, I can remember watching documentaries where whole villages in Bulgaria and Romania had emptied (with the exception of the occasional elderly resident), with their destination of choice\u2014the UK.\u00a0 With its lax asylum regime and generation access to social benefits, it was the ticket to paradise.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was also incredibly offensive to the native British public. In 2013, in an attempt to appear more right-wing than he was, the then Primeminister David Cameron said something similar to <em>\u201cit was every East European\u2019s dream to make the trip to the UK, and we needed to limit the number of immigrants from the new members.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 He failed spectacularly as both legal and illegal immigration increased during his tenure as it did with every \u201cconservative\u201d premier in the years to follow despite every one of them campaigning <em>explicitly<\/em> on this very issue of <em>\u201cstopping the boats.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 The British public voted to leave the EU in 2020 but still the political classes resist the clear will of the people by <em>increasing<\/em> illegal immigration after this time.<a href=\"#_ftn54\" name=\"_ftnref54\">[54]<\/a> They had, and have, no political will to deal with the problem; hence, the rise of the populist Right, despite active attempts by the leaders of the political Left in Europe to marginalise and discriminate against the parties and figures associated with this continent-wide movement.<\/p>\n<p>In France, this attack has been blatant on leader of the National Rally party Marine Le Pen, who received an enormous vote in the French Presidential elections but has been in a legal fight over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebsco.com\/research-starters\/women-s-studies-and-feminism\/marine-le-pen\"><em>\u201cmisuse of EU funds.\u201d<\/em><\/a>\u00a0 In Germany, the AfD (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.afd.de\/\">Alternative f\u00fcr Deutschland<\/a>) have been accused (predictably) of Far Right extremist links and was classified (pending appeal) as <em>\u201cright wing extremist\u201d<\/em> which is an attempt, in the words of its leader, <em>\u201cto ban the party through the back door.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Orban\u2019s Hungary pays a daily fine to the EU of \u20ac1 million per day in response to a refusal to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hungarianconservative.com\/articles\/current\/migration-fine-penalty-hungary-eu-commission-ecj-ruling\/\">open its borders<\/a> to asylum seekers.\u00a0 Italian Primeminister Giorgia Meloni, who came to power on the back of unrest over Italy being one of the major entry points for illegal immigrants and asylum seekers (there is little difference between the two now, as \u201cclaiming asylum\u201d initiates a Europe-wide legal process<a href=\"#_ftn55\" name=\"_ftnref55\">[55]<\/a> that prevents deportation), has faced consistent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infomigrants.net\/en\/post\/66202\/italian-prime-minister-aims-for-new-eu-migrant-laws-following-ecj-ruling\">opposition<\/a> from the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in attempting to secure Italy\u2019s borders as the first point of contact for many irregular immigrants to Europe.<a href=\"#_ftn56\" name=\"_ftnref56\">[56]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The contrast with the Left in Europe could not be greater.

In my view, the contrary is true: <em>only<\/em> a native-born citizen has the unqualified status of \u2018legal\u2019 in any nation of laws; by default, anyone who enters by any means other than the legal ones is \u201cillegal\u201d.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Under Sanchez\u2019s model as implemented in the UK, immigrants make landfall or are picked up by coastguard or navy when they are in difficulty, claim asylum (unlike in the US, you can claim asylum even if you do not enter at an official port of entry), are housed at enormous taxpayer expense in hotels, fed, and given social security benefits.\u00a0 A network of charities ensures these newcomers are aware of their rights, specialist lawyers billing the taxpayers through our \u201cLegal Aid\u201d scheme ensure that they get legal representation to fight any deportation or repatriation efforts, and they are instructed as to how to get their social benefits.\u00a0 This small army of specialist immigration and asylum lawyers leverage activist judges who then prevent the deportation of those caught in criminal activity after they arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds familiar, the world over, does it not?\u00a0 To illustrate the scale of the problem and the dereliction of duty, the two figures below are the official government statistics for net migration that show migration, in (immigration) and out (emigration).<a href=\"#_ftn59\" name=\"_ftnref59\">[59]<\/a>\u00a0 Both graphs show an avalanche from 2020, despite so-called COVID restrictions, a pattern repeated throughout the West, i.e., a <em>deliberate and coordinated<\/em> operation by Western governments to shift the world to global government by minimizing the ethnic differences between nations and thus facilitate the removal of the traditional Western values which emphasise individual sovereignty against government sovereignty over the individual.<a href=\"#_ftn60\" name=\"_ftnref60\">[60]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The top figure shows that emigration has stayed virtually constant whilst immigration has dramatically increased and accelerated since the mid-1990s, becoming catastrophic in 2020.

will be paying for their legal defence, and their accommodation in lieu of the deferred deportation.\u00a0 Even if that were true, and it is incredibly dangerous for an immigrant to return, that is <em>their<\/em> responsibility, not ours, and the result of <em>their<\/em> actions. Whilst we <em>might<\/em> need to be granular in how we treat serious crimes from low-level theft or so-called \u201cvictimless crime\u201d, deportation, as a rule, should be automatic in the case of immigrant crime; we have enough homegrown criminals, we do not need to import them.\u00a0 Unlike other forms of crime, migrant crime is unique in that it is 100% avoidable to us as a nation.<\/p>\n<p>It <em>is<\/em> a requirement of a civilized nation that we <em>do<\/em> have compassion and grant shelter to those that need it, and we <em>may<\/em> have a national need to support immigration for skillsets that we lack.\u00a0 However, that should be at the behest of the citizen and not subject to the abuse and disarray of our processes now.\u00a0 Even if, for example, we have the need for doctors and nurses but at the weekends they are marching for HAMAS and making Tik Toks asserting they would kill Jews if they were at their hospital; they should be on the next plane home. I saw one of those videos in a streamed discussion between Israeli and Gazan doctors, still in their scrubs;\u00a0 I know, personally, of another doctor here in the UK, who\u2019s daily habit is to post in support of HAMAS and the \u201cgenocide\u201d in Gaza\u2014despite that the Iranians have probably killed more protestors in the last few weeks than Israel has killed in two years of war.<a href=\"#_ftn67\" name=\"_ftnref67\">[67]<\/a> We do not need to, by choice, to be inviting this mentality and bigotry into our culture.

workaround is if a \u201cfamily\u201d has a child after arrival who is then automatically an American citizen (what is known as \u201cbirthright citizenship\u201d).\u00a0 The family as a whole can then access social security benefits.\u00a0 In the UK, such benefits are simply made available through various legal programmes and asylum provisions already in place.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Thatcher removed birthright citizenship for the UK in 1983 over concerns regarding its abuse (as well as dealing with issues regarding \u2018marriages of convenience\u2019 where it was possible once to marry a citizen and take a fast track to citizenship), but official workarounds and shortcuts to citizenship are now available for the children of illegals\u2014all it takes is seven years of continuous residence, it being \u201cunreasonable\u201d for you to leave and that you apply before you are 18-years old.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref24\" name=\"_ftn24\">[24]<\/a> As in California, a one-party Democratic Party state (gerrymandering has ensured almost zero Republican representation despite there being around 40% Republican voters in the state).\u00a0 This was a very recent change to boost the turnout for the

(unfortunately, a familiar theme of this essay.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref26\" name=\"_ftn26\">[26]<\/a> The requirement to show an ID to prove citizenship to vote in national elections is currently strongly supported by the US population but strongly opposed by the Democratic Party which is now controlled by the radical Left.\u00a0 It is notable that President Obama has also indicated he is against the measure.\u00a0 It was during his second term, that the \u201cdeporter in chief\u201d had to contend with the new Leftist orthodoxy of facilitating immigration (legal and illegal) into the

rule\u2019 where the Conservative party was conservative in name only.\u00a0 People wanted a change and they only had two choices, not vote or vote Labour in protest. Our extremely restrictive voting system inflates the share of seats that a party can get if it wins constituencies, regardless of the share of the popular vote because a vote is never transferable or being able to give any preference.<\/p>\n<p>This prevents the influence of minor parties in obtaining representation in parliament until they get around 30% of the popular vote.\u00a0 Farage\u2019s Reform-UK is now beyond this threshold and may well displace the legacy Conservative party as the main right-wing party in the UK.\u00a0 In many respects, Reform-UK is similar to what the Conservative party was during the Reagen-Thatcher era.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref30\" name=\"_ftn30\">[30]<\/a> A euphemism for \u201cvandalised\u201d!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref31\" name=\"_ftn31\">[31]<\/a> \u201cOne letter from his office\u201d was normally all that was required;
