It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.

Birmingham is a war zone.

19-year-old Lily Whitehouse was murdered in Oldbury on the 5 of November.

Now a woman in her 30s has been stabbed in the neck and is fighting for her life in hospital.

A nondescript "man in his 20s" has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, for what the police described as an "unprovoked attack."

Politicians decided it was a good idea to fill our countries with violent criminals. Judges give them lenient sentences, or let them out of prison early.

Innocent women are paying the price. Enough.

Will the Amos review fix our broken maternity system? Can relying on existing flawed data identify the true extent of harm? I’ve focused on internal hospital reviews of babies’ deaths - PMRTs. There’s good reason to believe harm is being underestimated. https://t.co/m1lOn0arN9

@epkaufm In other words it's being contained. However it's becoming more vocal, not just in small pockets of the country, as it used to be, but everywhere as migrants are now widespread. The political class better hope Reform succeeds.

@BritIndianVoice The majority of the Sikh population didn't arrive until after the 1950's, therefore they did not "build our cities".

They did however displace the native population wherever they settled and on the whole have not assimilated.

@ThreeJacques @BritIndianVoice Thank you Jack. Enlightening as always.

[Jack Hughes @ThreeJacques]

@BritIndianVoice If anybody is interested, I'm going through a sociology book written by an Indian about how Sikhs illegally emigrated to Britain after the war and used, clannishness, bribery and nepotism to displace natives that later turned into violence with Sikh youth.

This is how things had ended up by the end of the 70s. Gangs of armed Punjabis, gangs of armed West Indians, gangs of skinheads, street fights, riots, deaths, accusations of police brutality. Generally by this point it was the 2nd generation immigrants who were doing this, who didn't harbour illusions about returning to some distant land and who didn't feel like they were guests who needed to justify their presence. 25 years after their parents had begun to arrive they understandably felt that Southall was theirs, and the community their parents had displaced were interlopers who resented them for no reason.

This is a an early version of the "he wants your cookie" understanding of the issues around immigration and multiculturalism. Any social or cultural reason for objecting to having their town become the Little Punjab are recontextualised as managerial problems of building enough houses and schools that the white population needs to unite with the immigrant population to support.

The majority of the immigrants turning them into a minority in Southall had come on forged passports and were non-English speaking Punjabi peasants, encouraged to come by local large employers. Effectively the local population were being asked to cooperate in a process of illegally importing scab labour to replace them.

From 1955, Labour had become a pro-immigration, pro-multiculturalism party with local politicians in the areas most impacted by immigration towing a more reactionary line. The 1964 election was the last time such deviation was tolerated, and with victory won by softening their stance... Labour set about putting in place the legal and bureaucratic structures necessary to suppress organised resistance.🧵

[Jack Hughes @ThreeJacques]

40% of the Sikh immigrants who came after the war did not speak any English. Does it seem likely that importing non-English peasants was thought to be a good idea by anybody who didn't own a sweatshop? The Sikhs who were fluent in English were effectively a different group and had come via different routes to train as lawyers etc as part of long standing efforts to help India modernise and transition to independence. In the end, many of them stayed and began the process of organising the Sikh peasants as a political force in England. Some of the early post-WW2 activism against assimilation and demanding British cultural norms bend to accommodate immigrants was from Sikhs demanding to be allowed to wear turbans in roles that had previously had requirements about head coverings, like the police.🧵

[Jack Hughes @ThreeJacques]

A rather mild description of the conditions they illegal immigrant Punjabi peasants lived in in 1950s London. Other books are far more graphic. You get dreadful stories from the turn of the century East End about Jewish immigrants with 5 people living in a single room in which they prepared pickled herring. Comically dreadful stuff.

What you then get is efforts to improve the conditions. New houses are built. People are offered accommodation elsewhere... What tends to happen is that it is the natives who leave and the immigrants who stay, and understandably so since they are in a strange country and huddle together.

Since the root cause is all the misery in India emptying into these suburban streets of England, trying to address the problem as if it was lack of housing, or a failure of town planning is like trying to empty Lake Geneva by means of bottles. In some ways, the wretchedness of the conditions was the only natural break on what was otherwise a runaway process.🧵

[Jack Hughes @ThreeJacques]

This same story is repeated in many of the flows of poor, unskilled immigrants, Jews coming into the East End at the end of the 19th century, for example. You have communities of people with wives, children to support etc. and then thousands upon thousands of single men start turning up who are prepared to work 75 hour weeks, working 7 days a week, live 12 to a house, using beds in shifts, will pay bribes to be given more house, nepotistically favour their fellows when they get control of allocating work. Just on the basis of having family costs and commitments this simply can't be competed with.

What then happens is that women eventually come over, children appear and working in the way they initially worked becomes impossible. By that point, the old population have been driven out and a new cohesive community is in control who defend their interests with the assistance of government and Communists against the people they displaced.

The incentives of business for encouraging illegal immigration and returning people to sub-Dickensian living conditions is understandable. The incentives of the immigrants are rational. The commons that get degraded though is the wider society that now has to contend with generations of strife, may have to sustain people, families put out of work in this way and just the basic cost of managing the level of friction in society, the collapse of trust goes up.

The immigrants and the individual business owners gain, the ordinary native population and the wider society pick up the cost.🧵

[Jack Hughes @ThreeJacques]

Again, this was who was for the most part flooding into Britain from India. The Jat peasants at the bottom of Punjabi society, pressured by an expanding population. I wonder whether this migration wasn't part of the inspiration for The Camp of the Saints. 🧵

[Jack Hughes @ThreeJacques]

This description is a way in to what is meant by "jobs the British wouldn't do". The rubber industry was in decline owing to many of it's end products being replaced by plastic. Desperate Punjabi peasants, who didn't speak English were encourage to come to Britain, having to pay people smugglers and obtain forged passports to do it.

Having imported a new workforce, those workers displaced the native workers such that the company that employed them was completely dependent on imported labour. That workforce then unionised and tried to organise for better pay. The company went out of business in in 1967, only a few years after drawing immigrants halfway across the world to it.

Similar trends occurred 60 years before where the shoe making industry had been modernised through automation consolidating to fewer larger firms. Small businesses maintained themselves by relying on a flood of desperate Eastern European labour willing to work below subsistence level.

Effectively what happens is you have declining, dying industries that buy themselves a few more years by relying on desperate, possibly illegal labour, living in illegal conditions, and paid barely enough to survive. The native labour is then driven out of the industry and owners wail that immigration is necessary because native labour refuses to do the work.

Almost certainly the industry declines further and finally goes out of business leaving the immigrants unemployed in a strange land. The cost, both financial and social, of having displaced the native workforce only to lay off their replacements and fractured the community, creating decades of strife is not born by the firm that did this.

For this, Southall became Little Punjab.

The Government has a new victims minister.

And she has questions to answer.

She chaired an organisation that argued AGAINST tougher prison sentences for rapists.

And she endorsed calls for foreign criminals to be given asylum here. 🧵

Why have some Muslims been saying they can’t carry religious weapons when Sikhs can?

They got away with it in Birmingham.

[Subversive Force @SubversiveForce]

Let’s take a look at some of the fine people associated with the National Association of Muslim Police and its local branches like The Met's AMP — including the Mayor of London, CPS, the taxpayer-funded British Muslim Trust, and the Prime Minister’s favourite imam, who praised the 7 Oct atrocities. It's a nefarious network… 🧵1/

[Subversive Force @SubversiveForce]

Probably a bad time to mention that the Crown Prosecution Service Muslim Network attended NAMP’s AGM recently, alongside the Islamist Muslim Council of Britain and the taxpayer-funded British Muslim Trust. Rotten everywhere.
