Londonistan and the Death of Tolerance
by Stephen Green
Everything in the United Kingdom is far more diverse than it used to be, largely because a small number of elitists decided that’s the way things ought to be — but a majority of actual pasty white Britons might finally have had enough.
“New research published by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) has revealed that while Americans are more socially conservative,” GB News reported, “their UK counterparts prefer a tougher approach to immigration and are more anxious over the declining proportion of the white population in their own society.”
What’s remarkable about the study is that somehow 51% of Brits managed not to get pummeled into submission by the country’s all-pervasive Diversity Machine.
While the study was released in March and managed to fly under my radar, more recent stories give it new urgency. Just today, British “far-right activist” Tommy Robinson was cleared of trumped-up terrorism charges so egregious that the judge in his trial said, “I cannot put out of my mind that it was actually what you stood for and your political beliefs that acted for the principle reason for this stop.”
I’m frankly shocked he was acquitted.
The New York Post reported back in August that the nation that first kindled notions of liberty now “sees up to 30 people a day arrested for petty offenses such as retweets and cartoons” on social media. But free speech arrests are only for the non-sufficiently diverse. If you or your parents came from some Islamic nation, and you want to don a black mask, wave some sort of Islamic flag, and take to the streets chanting, “This is OUR country,” the authorities are A-OK with that.
The BBC — which is paid for with TV tax levies and doesn’t have to concern itself with little things like whether people actually like its idea of “popular” entertainment — is a yuge gear in the UK’s Diversity Machine, pumping out one diversity agit-prop show after another. It’s so bad that Disney just pulled its financial support for the six-decade-old Doctor Who sci-fi franchise that had grown too woke for Disney.
Too. Woke. For. Disney.
As Deadline reported last week, “What was conceived as a plan to Marvel-ize the franchise did not translate into a big bang. Instead, the partnership has died with a whimper, with Disney not even putting out a statement to mark its passing.”
Since Tony Blair and his New Labour government opened the floodgates almost 30 years ago, London is now 40% foreign-born. While the city remains nominally British, large parts of it simply aren’t. That Islamic march I mentioned above happened in London’s Whitechapel district, where Muslims outnumber Christians by more than two to one, 43% to 18%.
