STOP Passing The Buck!

Our governments, yes, I’m talking about all of them, have spent the last 25+ years avoiding the truth and now they are surprised that the public neither trust nor believe, anything they say.? Why are supposedly intelligent people surprised in any way, that the response to lies, indecision, and failure to take positive, appropriate, action on anything, results in the public starting and spreading disinformation?? It’s human nature, highly predictable behaviour, and is easier to achieve in today’s world than ever before, due to the Internet and social media!
We are all so busy trying to fill the information void, mostly spreading useless, unfounded tittle-tattle, that we don’t even consider what’s actually causing the widespread discontent in our country.? It’s not difficult to explain.?? It’s not about immigration, race, religion, sexuality or any other handy divisive tag, it’s about the inaction of successive governments in resolving the “illegal immigration” situation, which has been allowed to rise unabated for years.? There will be the appalled luvvies, the shocked do-gooders, and a huge number of politically correct "agree with anything" types, that will immediately condemn my comments. However, whatever view you hold, denying this as the central and most critical issue of our time is just hiding from the truth. Note that at no time have I implied that it is ever acceptable to attack or harm anybody, it's not!? At the same time, consider why the legal British population is being dragged to the edge of despair, following some of the most difficult, challenging times in our recent history.??
Our citizens have been subjected to unparalleled cost of living increases, a global pandemic where millions have died, whilst the price of home ownership has spiralled beyond the reach of our young people; this, of course, is just the tip of the iceberg. Our country is no longer the UK as we knew it, because politicians like Tony Blair thought it was a good idea to devolve central government, introducing genuine inequality and destroying our common culture and integration.? The completely ineffective, even disinterested, stance adopted by our politicians, irrespective of Party, is at the heart of everything that is currently going so horribly wrong in the UK.? Illegal immigration is what has brought this about and with the new government adopting the same, weak stance as their predecessors, criminal thugs are seizing the opportunity to cause chaos. Whilst both Tory and Labour Leaders have continually talked about “stopping the boats”, most folk now realise that they have absolutely no idea how to achieve it.
The situation is simply going from very bad to much worse, with Labour’s solution now being seen for what it always was, nothing more than an effort to increase the pace of granting asylum and awarding a “right to remain” to many thousands of people who are here illegally!? As a collective, the UK public of all persuasions need to accept that this country cannot and should not allow itself to be tainted as racist, divided, or lacking in equality or diversity.? We are a multicultural community and that can work, it's got to, but illegal immigration can and will break us, if we accept it and allow it to continue.
Decent, caring and logical people understand that immigration is not only important, it’s absolutely essential to the success of any country’s continued growth.? It's equally obvious that we must get our current government to take ownership of the influx of of "illegal" arrivals to our shores, to tackle and resolve this incredibly challenging issue,?it’s their job!? From there, they must seek a timely, responsible and humane resolution that protects the safety, dignity, pride, and human rights of these people, until they are relocated.? For the sake of every man, woman and child who holds UK citizenship, we must stop the unacceptable cost to our public safety, economy, social infrastructure, and national wellbeing.? This is about maintenance of the very fibre of our society and meeting? the challenges that have been forced upon us by inept government over a quarter of a century.
The economic burden is simply not sustainable, so let’s force these politicians to step up, or get rid of them! Like it or not, they are where they are because we put them there, as far as I’m aware that basic fact has not changed.? This is not about hating or wishing bad things on anyone. It's about love of our country, every single member of our society bar none, and seeking an appropriate, fair, and legal solution to something that can do immeasurable damage to our United Kingdom. We cannot bear the current burden alone, nor should be expected to!

7 个月George, an excellent article, as always and I am somewhat surprised you have not received comment. Well not surprised really because you have broached a taboo subject it seems, and people are simply s**t scared to make their feelings known, especially when still in the “Rat Race”. Multiculturalism is failing in the UK, not because of the immigration of the past, when people from across the world came to this country to aspire to a bettter life, to contribute. To accept its societal norms, to contribute to its culture and traditions, to bring their own culture, to integrate, to enhance, to make this country a better more tolerant society, it wasn’t always easy for them. Multiculturalism is failing because our norms are being not only challenged but disregarded by an increasing influx of migrants, “legal and illegal” from countries whose societal norms, religious beliefs, sense of morality is simply not compatible with our own, and they have being allowed to impose that disregard by our own elected and out of touch leadership. The recent spate of unrest was unforgivable, but the thuggery was given oxygen by the complete inaction of the authorities, misinformation filled the gap left by no information.
