Race riots in Italy threaten to get out of control, in the Midlands we have had consecutive weeks of demonstrations in Luton and Bedford, by BNP supporters on one side, and anti Fascist’s on the other culminating in violence on our streets, 12 months ago in Roquetas del Mar in Spain riots erupted there after the death of an African immigrant.
I could go on with examples but you get the pattern Europe is beginning to become a cauldron of resentment and hate, since the EU was founded and borders opened, migration has exploded, sadly a proportion of people moving from Country to Country are not the model citizens you would want, but rather the low life's and criminals that have no future in their own places of birth, so they are transporting their misery to others.
The freedom to just move from Country to Country was always going to be exploited, and even the most liberal and welcoming Nation would start to feel resentment as the “foreigners” came in and started to take their jobs by working for less pay, in this Country our builders have felt the brunt of it as cheap labour has all but forced the British Labourer out of the market, never mind that quality of the imported labour is not as good.
The European Union of today is the result of a process that began half a century ago with the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community. Those two industries then still provided the industrial muscle for military power, France and Germany formed the union really as a means to make sure war could never happen between the two Countries.
The other four founder states (Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands), also saw the new Community as a means to ensure peace by binding Germany within strong European institutions. For the most part they too, like the Germans, saw the Community as a stage in the development of a federal polity and have largely continued to do so.
If the union had stayed as that, “Just a business arrangement” with peace thrown in as a perk it would have been a fantastic creation, but we have unelected faceless people in Brussels with this desire to mix the whole of Europe so much that no Country has an identity left, and this is where the problems start,we are all basically to different, its fine to visit each other for a couple of weeks a year, and broaden each others horizons, but to live with each other peacefully you need to embrace each other culturally..
To go live in a Country and not embrace their way of life , to settle in a community then shut yourself of and stay with your own kind, to criticise your hosts way of life, and then to try to make them adapt to yours, to encroach on each others houses and job’s, burden each others health services, take advantage of other more generous benefits systems, these are the causes of the unrest across Europe.
Sadly I don’t know what the answer is the EU is to big a beast to control it’s rules and laws are like a juggernaut running downhill with nobody at the wheel, but what I can tell you is that when it does hit the wall at the bottom and it surely will the resulting bang will be heard all over Europe.
Great post.
ReplyDeleteUnlike the States where they've already been through a very painful process and come out the other side, we haven't as yet, and its a terryfing thought. In adition, (and again, unlike the States), most people don't want to integrate. They want to keep their identities, which is fair enough, but reject the host nations, and in some cases attack it.
Whenever Im in the US, I always see people who have clearly not been in the US that long embracing the American Flag. I was in a cab recently and the guy could barely speak English (he'd only been in the US for 2 years), yet his cab was adorned with the Stars and Stripes.
You dont see that happening here, or elsewhere in Europe. Most immigrants will proudly tell yo where they're from, how great it is back home, and support their home nation in competitions etc.. That's wrong.
You see, the US is where people WANT to be, to belong, to be part of - whereas here, it's just somewhere to earn (or scrounge)a living, to carry on the homeland traditions and beliefs, and to reject the culture of the host nation, and feverishly promote your own.
That my friend is not integration. Alot of people come to Uk and Europe not so they can proudly stand up and say "I am British" or "I am German"- its because of the lure of the welfare state.
Just another thought. imagine two prospective immigrants. One going to the US, and one coming to the UK. Ask the chap who's going to the US Why? and he'll probably say "I want to be American". Ask the UK bound chap why he's heading to Britain and he'll say "They'll give me a council house and money".
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing to happen to this country is the Welfare state. Everything in life has a cause and effect. The generous welfare state is the cause, and what we see in poor integration and people hiding in articulated lorries is the effect.
Right then erman and leylasdad this is what we should,Lets buy some machine guns and shoot fuck out of them,Look what ever you do to these low lifes they will not lern,Remember in there country there punishment is a lot stronger than in ours,its like going on holiday with every thing paid for,My fury friends iam afraid theres only one way to deal with them and that is through the fuckers back to there country end of problem, Its easy just let us not complicate things,And if some one complains like human rights take them to and see how they live over there ,they will soon shut there mouths up..i think i should become an MP,, well ALLI G DID,
