movement that gained prominence during the 1980s and 1990s through the activism of GreenPeace and Friends of the Earth.\u00a0 This became mainstream at the end of the 1990s when Jonathon Porritt was brought into Tony Blair&#8217;s inner circle and the climate cult developed through the 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>The Green Party is now a developing political titan on the British political scene, an evil mirror image to the New Right&#8217;s <em>Reform UK<\/em>, both splitting off in disgust from the uniparty centre, but with the Green&#8217;s merchandising utopian socialism with the environmental flavour.\u00a0 They have positioned themselves far to the Left of the Labour Party and are pulling in the marxist Left, advocating policies that are shamelessly communist.\u00a0 Yet, this is not nationalistic communism, this is globalist communism, this really is <em>&#8220;a world without borders.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>Much as the Boston Mass. mayor, Michelle Woo declares <em>&#8220;all should be able to seek shelter and settle here&#8221;<\/em>, the Greens do the same but take it up a notch.\u00a0 Here, even if an asylum claim is rejected, deportation cannot happen\u2014borders have effectively been abolished; smuggling is decriminalised, and fines for traffiking are scrapped.\u00a0 There is a fasttrack to citizenship, access to benefits, housing, and work\u2014existing citizens might be stuck dreaming of access to these things, whereas the <em>&#8220;illegal&#8221;,<\/em> undocumented, asylum seeker, or plain old <em>&#8220;economic migrant&#8221;<\/em> gets it all at their&#8217;s, the taxpayers&#8217;
