Do the native English/ Brits want to integrate with the migrants who want to integrate with them though ???
It’s a two way street… in order to integrate you need to feel welcomed by the natives/ long term residents of the country.
90 years ago today, Oswald Mosley and his Blackshirts attempted to march through and intimidate a predominantly Jewish area of the East End.
Men, women and children, alongside local residents, trade unionists and anti-fascist protesters, came together to defend the community in what became known as the Battle of Cable Street.
They taught us an important lesson: communities can resist fascism by joining together.
Hate and antisemitism had no place in London then, and it has no place here now.
@JonezinWidJonez@ShippersUnbound@Forced_Meme_Jr England, Scotland and Northern Ireland are nations. Great Britain is an island and the United Kingdom is a political Union.
There, have you learnt something today?
I’ll be honest, it never once occurred to me that ‘English’ was a race rather than a nationality.
The English are a mongrel race of Normans, Germanic tribes and Anglo Saxons who themselves were a melting pot of old English, Danes etc
It’s too early in the morning for this, but it amazes me these 3rd year, I’ve just flicked through Camus, student punk activists still exist. The passing of nearly 50 years and they still haven’t grown up!
Plastic chameleon revolutionaries. “Punk”, and “left wing” politics, good grief.
Even Alexei Sayle made fun of these middle class spastics in the late 70s and 80s.
One thing you can say about John Lyndon he’s actually got a critical brain in his head and a decent morality.
The far-left have been enabled and have degraded our society, culture and environment that it’s long past time to put a stop to them. SUTR are the useful Bolshevik boot boy tools to a Global cabal of kiddie fiddlers and human traffickers. You disgust me.
The threat of the far right is growing.
We urgently need to build a mass movement that can mobilise on the scale we need to stop them.

I purchased this. I am curious about this idea of renewing western civilisation through art. It arrives just before the equinox - the synchronicity is pleasing - in a brown envelope with real postage stamps.
@SolsticePrint@WrenCobb I take solace that some random picked it up, flicked through, found something of interest and is inspired by it. Seaford is an artistic town home to such luminaries as Walter Thomas Monnington, Sir Frank Short, Eric Slater, S. Francis Smitheman and even Ravilious.
“The fasten seat belts sign is on”.
This is a message I received early this morning from one of the UK’s most experienced, savvy and respected financial traders. Someone I have come to know and trust for the last 25 years.
10-year bond yields are now almost 4.5pc - up some 50 basis points over the last month.
30-year yields this morning went above 6pc - a 28-year high.
Yet the UK’s political and media class continues to focus on party posturing and folksy rhetoric, ignoring the slow-motion disaster that has been happening on the UK’s sovereign bond markets for at least the last 18 months - a disaster that will inevitably, unless we drastically change course, turn into a fully blown market meltdown.
At that point, the UK government won’t be able to borrow enough money to finance our already spiralling debt interest bill.
Britain’s financial management will be taken over by overseas technocrats - that will be the condition of additional borrowing, to maintain the basic functions of the state, as happened in Greece and Italy back in the early 2010s and here in Britain 50 years ago this year (when we were forced in 1976 to apply to the IMF for a bailout).
The austerity then imposed on Britain would make 2010-2019 feel like a picnic - far, far worse than it would be if we took serious action now to control our public finances.
Lower-income households would suffer most - and there would be serious damage done to the UK’s already rapidly-fraying social fabric ….
I have been warning about these looking fiscal dangers publicly, in my newspaper columns and elsewhere, since at least early 2024.
Doing so hasn’t been easy or fun. I have been dismissed and derided by numerous economists, “economists”, officials and policymakers - as well as lots of journalists.
I absolutely don’t want a disastrous 1976-style outcome - which is why I’ve taken the blows and issued the warnings.
The state is too big. Public spending is out of control. Our fiscal rules are a convenient nonsense - designed to kick the can of financial reality into the future. We need to get real … and take bold action to tame the growth of spending, push back a now totally over-bearing state and snap the British economy out of today’s high-tax-high-borrowing-low-growth doom loop - the result of myopic, counter-productive policy-making by successive governments for the last decade and more …
Other prominent economists who agree with me - ie who are financially-literate, can read a yield curve, have a passing interest in economic history and who understand the dangers of some 80pc of UK government borrowing going on debt interest as it currently is - need to chuck “career risk” in the bin, and start saying publicly what so many of them have, for quite a while now, only had the bottle to say to me in private …
Remember: “The fasten seat belts sign is on”
@WrenCobb It is. Alas I left my copy in the leisure centre because I got distracted picking up mats. I’m hoping they’ll have it in the lost and found when I go back this Saturday.
