Multiculturalism has Failed

White Britons are more likely to believe that racial prejudice has increased in Britain than are those from ethnic minorities according to a recent survey.

Interestingly, the Conservative Party has taken the opportunity to say that multiculturalism has failed. Odd thing for them to say considering that they propose nothing more than stricter immigration controls. The Conservatives rightly point out that Britain is becoming ever more divided. This is tearing the nation apart. Only ethnic segregation, with nations being true nations in the correct sense of the word can allow people the dignity of having a cultural identity rather than an identity based on their career and their purchasing habits.

The reports of this survey do not offer any explanation for why Whites are more keenly aware of racial prejudice than others. Perhaps it reflects increasing numbers of Whites feeling like victims of racism - or perhaps it implies that Whites are over-empathising with ethnic minorities. If it is the latter, then the media would be the obvious source of such agonising. Statistics show that more Whites are victims of racially motivated crime than are non-Whites, and that this is on the increase, since the numbers of immigrants to the UK is rising quickly.

Immigrants themselves are not to blame for this situation. We should blame instead government policy of overcrowding our island with so many people that England is set to become a continuous urban sprawl.

In another recent headline link it was announced that almost two million new homes will have to be built to cope with the immigrant influx.

"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"
