Two native Londoners were jailed yesterday for the killing of Stephen Lawrence.BBC News (6 p.m.) interviewed people in South London. Responding to the Government being blamed for immigration to the UK, the reporter said there was still "prejudice and bigotry". This was another example of otherwise excellent BBC employees revealing their own prejudice against people who oppose immigration to the UK.
Immigration is about allowing other peoples to occupy one's own territory.
Naturally, while some people want it (lawyers flourish!), others are made very unhappy by it.
In Goodbye to All That , Robert Graves' outstanding account of his experiences in the trenches during the First World War, the author says that though he would have expected the Scots to be the best British soldiers he would have liked to say his own (Welsh Guards) were the best, but he had to concede that Londoners were the best.
Stephen Lawrence, like his killers, was a teenager. They had something else in common. They were all male.
Foreign husbands are male.
When in 1979 the Immigration Minister was asked why the Government was not going to keep its promise to prevent foreign men from being able to live in the UK through marriage he replied: "Because of the fuss."
Yesterday on BBC Radio 4 Today Jack Straw (former Cabinet Minister) said the two convicted men were from "criminal families". Sounds slanderous.
To add insult ("bigotry") to injury (jail) those responsible for inflicting much unhappiness on many native British men remain unpunished.

The specifics of what happens when immigrants arrive can be irritating but what worries me about immigration is that it is unsustainable. There is a very real danger that this year may bring an horrendous economic meltdown, it is also fairly certain that, over the next 50 years, climate change and the enrichment of China will lead to very high food prices. How British governments can justify the continued importation of half a million people a year when we already have 20 million more people than we can feed from our own resources is beyond me. See The ONS Predicted population of Britain.
England has never been populated so far past its sustainability limits. It is probable that every half million people brought into England will cause half a million of our grandchildren or great grandchildren to die of famine at some time during the next 100 years. People just don't seem to appreciate the absolutely epic scale of the current migration into England.
Your comments are much appreciated. I wonder if you could kindly sign my epetition (if you support it):
