I've had a lot of conflicting views over the last few years, and sometimes end up doing a complete 180. I think that's ok so long as you can show your working. Because I'm a blogger I can pinpoint all the breadcrumbs that brought me to where I am today. On immigration, I no longer consider myself a liberal.

Back in 2015, I ran a small independent Brexit campaign, but I argued we should keep freedom of movement because on balance it was beneficial, and I believed we should stay in the single market in order to maintain our trade, and FoM would be an inevitable consequence of that. I resigned myself to that.

It's only when I started looking in detail how the system was abused did I see how it created more problems than it solved. We can tally up the net GDP gains but nothing is said of the unintended consequences - such as unregulated low wage exploitation, organised crime and downward pressure on wages. FoM was devastating for the bottom decile and ultimately entrenched welfare dependency in a large section of the workforce.

But I was also of the view that EU immigration wasn't really the main problem. Let's face it, it isn't Polish plumbers loitering outside school gates on Oldham. Thus, I was of the view that immigration was a separate debate that wouldn't be resolved by Brexit. The central problem is a dysfunctional Home Office and an elaborate system of unbalanced human rights law and international law that, in effect, made us a borderless country.

It's only in the last two years that I've really made immigration my central focus. The dinghy invasion certainly caught my attention but news during lockdown and the BLM hysteria really brought home just how lawless our cities have become. Just last year in June, a large fight broke out in Hyde Park in London, with several youths armed with knives seen stabbing the man as he fell to the ground. One of them was hacking with a machete. The only time I've seen similar footage is from Soweto in South Africa. Around that time, a convoy of cars draped in Palestinian flags with a megaphone was seen blaring antisemitic abuse while touring Jewish areas of north London. One man shouted "F**k the Jews, rape their daughters". Closer to home, a Batley teacher was forced into hiding by Pakistani Islamists.

There's no moderate line on this. What more evidence do you need that these people aren't going to integrate, aren't capable of integrating, and wouldn't even if were demanded of them? I don't profess to have all the answers on how to fix this, but the very first priority should be to, at least, stop making it worse. We need a system of immigration that discriminates on the basis of culture. We've seen from the way that dinghy migrants treat women that every time we grant their "right to asylum" we are subtracting from women's basic right to safely walk down the street. If you want to argue that Britain should be taking a “fair share” of refugees, then let’s take vulnerable women and children from camps where they face sexual exploitation and violence.

What further angers me is the network of state subsidies Refugee charities, none of which could survive without state handouts. They are all predominantly run by well-to-do virtue signallers who believe in open borders because they’ve never had to live with the everyday consequences of open borders. (Does Zara Poshbrid from RefugeesRUs have to pack tracksuit bottoms when she goes out clubbing so she can get back to her house unmolested?). It’s all about their need to be seen to be compassionate and caring – and fuck everybody else.

These organisations have campaigned against the use of hotels and barracks, and have gone through the courts to close down deportation options, forcing the government to a point where anyone who rocks up in a dinghy with a sob story is given indefinite permission to remain, the right to work and place to live. This basically upends the civic contract, especially when our own young struggle to get a foot on the housing ladder and even struggle to find private lets they can afford even on a half decent salary.

There comes a point where even the most tolerant have to decide which side they’re on. In August last year, a young woman by the name of Sarah Hussein was “found on fire” in a street in Bury. No witnesses came forward and two men were released without charge. That story got memory holed because unlike Sarah Everard, she was an inconvenient victim and the media just didn’t care. Nothing about it has been reported since, and our useless MP had nothing to say about it. Her body was shipped back to Pakistan and I suspect that’s the end of the matter. Just another statistic. Just another “honour” slaying.

I’ve seen enough basically. To still bleat slogans like “diversity makes us stronger” in the face of machete attacks, acid attacks, honour killings, electoral fraud and child grooming suggests to me that our ruling class simply don’t care that they’re turning Britain’s cities into third world shitholes where the writ of British law simply doesn’t run. On a long enough timeline we’ll drift toward low level civil wars in our cities. Hardly “cultural enrichment” is it?

It’s not even as though we need more people. We don’t have a labour shortage. We have skills gaps and an unbalanced economy, but the last thing we need is more feral men roaming our streets. Thus, while I once considered myself a liberal, I now believe that if Britain is to remain a peaceful and prosperous country, we simply can’t afford our cowardly political class and we can’t afford to mince our words about immigration.

Enough is enough. We’ve got more problems than we currently know how to solve with the current influx without pouring more petrol on the bonfire. We have thousands Islamist terror suspects on the watchlist and the grooming issue isn’t going away either.

The question for Brits is whether you’re willing to make a stand, or whether you’re just going to let your country slide into the abyss in the fear that some limp-wristed liberal soy boy will brand you far right? What’s it going to be? It’s decision time.
