80 million Britons, and no one you can trust

Our Brussels masters predict that Britain will soon be the most crowded country in the whole of Europe. Presumably this is what they want, since it is their laws that have destroyed our borders and abolished British citizenship and British passports (that wretched puce thing in your pocket is an EU passport, not a British one, and the further east you go, the easier they are to get).

The European Commission says there will be almost 80million people crammed into our landscape by 2058. Just imagine all that concrete, the thousands of square miles (or square kilometres as they will be by then) chewed up by bulldozers.

Imagine the unending 24-hour whoosh and grind of traffic, the bulging trains, the seething, noisy, litter-strewn parks on hot summer Sundays, the crowded schools, the endless waits at enormous polyclinics to see a doctor you've never met before and will never see again, who probably doesn't have English as a first language, and the multicultural schools where half the class will always be from somewhere else. I'm quite glad to think I'll be dead by then.

For our entire society is - or rather was - based on trust. But from now on it can't be. Trust exists between people who know each other well, who share a long history together, who are bound by the ties of unselfishness that grow up only in a stable, ancient society.

I share Hitchen's horror. Why do the British people elect governments that allow this to happen to us? I may be "dead by then", but I care deeply about the fate of the people of the future (those who would never have allowed such a nightmare at any rate). This has not happened by accident or by incompetent government - they want this future, as Hitchens observes. The incompetence is that of the electorate.
As a nihilist I am not cowed by political correctness and its warped moral code. We must look at the effect of all our actions and judge our values in that context. Conforming to this corrupt society is clearly wrong.

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
"

From William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
