Immigration: Your Country Needs You

Someone has to fight the fight on immigration.

And that someone is you.

We live in dark times. In a period of economic contraction – and with a government which stirs up social and economic fear so that it can present itself as the solution, and which sets one group against another, dividing so that it can merrily get on with ruling – we are all prone to scapegoating.

We are better than that. But the media is torrential. Politicians aren’t daring to make the arguments on immigration. Instead they are at pains constantly to acknowledge and dignify ‘legitimate concerns’.

It’s bollocks, and decent-minded people know it. But they don’t say it. And we are in danger of allowing a consensus to form around prejudice, fear and hatred.

If our politicians can’t or won’t, it behoves those of us who know better to stand up and argue back. That’s why I’m doing it. I make no apology. If you agree with me, please support me. (And frankly, if you don’t, please unfollow me.)

  1. Agree wholeheartedly Mr Minghella and well said 🙂

    Way too many people playing ‘finger pointing’ instead of ‘problem solving’.

    Keep up the good fight and a happy Christmas to us all xx
