MULTICULTURALISM

Lord Tebbit, a former Tory government minister, has been recently making comments about multiculturalism. This is a topic about which he attracted some criticism [needless to say] many years ago, when he mentioned a ‘cricket test’ to see where immigrant communities’ loyalties really lie.

Last week, in an interview on the ePolitix website and regarding the 7/7 bombings, Lord Tebbit said:

‘I do not think had my comments been acted on those attacks would have been less likely. What I was saying about the so-called “cricket test” is that it was a test of whether a community has integrated.

If a community was looking back at where it had come from instead of looking forward with the people to whom they had come to, then there is going to be a problem sooner or later.’

And:

‘A multicultural society is an impossibility. If you have two cultures in one society then you have two societies. If you have two societies in the same place then you are going to have problems, like the kind we saw on July 7, sooner or later.’

Regarding Islam, Lord Tebbit said:

‘The religion is so unreformed since it was created that nowhere in the Muslim world has there been any real advance in science or art or literature or technology in the last 500 years.’

On Friday last week, Lord Tebbit gave an interview in which he expanded upon his views:

‘We’ve generated home-grown suicide bombers through a combination of the permissive society, which is the ugly and uncivilised society, together with a Muslim population that is deeply rooted in its own moral code and unable to see the defects in its own society.

Put these two together and it is an explosive mixture.

We can’t have a multicultural society. Our culture is what defines a society, so if we have two cultures we have two societies living in the same territory. That’s a recipe for trouble.

We’ve got it in an extreme form here because of the interaction of the refusal to stand up for our own culture and also the worthless nature of some aspects of it.’

He continued:

‘The conflict is when the moral code of Muslims comes into contact with the depravity of our inner-cities. They are supposed to be loyal to a Government which when faced with drunkenness extends the licensing hours and when faced with a wave of teenage abortions introduces more sex education in schools which may require a young Muslim to role-play as a homosexual father.’

Lord Tebbit argued that Muslims should have been taught ‘what is good in this country - its history, its traditions, its tolerance, its democratic system’. He continued:

‘What we’ve taught them instead is if they go out with a strict moral code late at night he sees drunken, vomiting, foul-mouthed youth abusing themselves and anyone else within range and he sees a culture in which we have generated an enormous amount of teenage pregnancies and irresponsibility.

And he’s not going to integrate into that, is he?’

Lord Tebbit is making some good points. It is of course not the case that some Muslims became suicide bombers because of Britain’s yob culture and there are very many non-Muslims who deplore the breakdown in law and order. Muslims do have the additional problems integrating which their religion brings, and that is the key factor.

But Lord Tebbit has completely ignored the effects of political correctness.

The Loony Left first impacted upon the political scene in the UK in the early 1980s, under Ken Livingstone in London. It is now 25 years later.

Over these last 25 years schoolchildren have been taught the wonders of anti-racist maths etc, year after year. A whole generation has grown up having being systematically brainwashed by the neo-communists.

A whole generation of ethnic minorities [and English people too] and the population as a whole have been indoctrinated to believe that any attempt to stop mass immigration is racist; that if ethnic minorities do worse at school then it is due to racism; that the fact that ethnic minorities may be less wealthy is because they are victims of racism; that if ethnic minorities cannot get a job it is because of racism; that the racist English are better off because of the slave trade and hence all their wealth is because of racism; that if there are Palestinians being killed then it is due to the aggression of the West and Islamophobia; that the invasion of Afghanistan was an act of Islamophobia; that the war on terror is Islamophobia; etc, etc and etc.

As per the March Quote of the Month [bonus] from Jacques Barzun: ‘Political correctness does not legislate tolerance; it only organizes hatred’. We are now seeing the consequences of that.

This evil nonsense has got to be stopped and the ideology opposed and exposed as the neo-communist sham that it is. The Politically Correct Industry, the quangos and government departments responsible, needs to be shut down.
