It's gone mad in this country.
I have long advocated that, like Australia, we should be vetting all entries to this island, and only those who can make a valuable contribution to society and to the greater good should be allowed in.
There has long been a policy of social engineering operating in Scotland, where the government of Britain has actively encouraged non Scots to settle here, knowing that this is a very good method of creating a voter base which would effectively deny autonomy to the Scottish people. The only thing favourable about that is that most of those who came from other airts to settle here were workers who were genuinely following work.
Mention that to an Englishman, and the first thing he retorts is that there are very many Scots living in England................as if that atones for the loss of accomodation for our young folk, and the lack of opportunities for the indigenous population, not to mention the dilution of our culture, and the questioning of our right to express our opposition to such back door government.
One of the things which disturbs me most about the current invasion of our shores by the recently freed Eastern Europeans, is the number of dodgy characters who have appeared in our midst. In Scotland, there have been many crimes commited by immigrants. These range from simple theft, to rape, and even murder.
However, I have to be very careful in what I say about this, and to whom I say it, lest I become labelled racist.
My parents, who lived through the Enoch Powell era, were probably racist, like many in their generation, yet I have had to temper my response to the very things which they found objectionable, partly from a genuine wish to see us all as Jock Thamson's bairns, and partly through fear of becoming a pariah in my own land.
I sincerely wish that my children can be tolerant of the dismemberment of our culture, religious beliefs, and our society values, but I don't hold out much hope.
