Net migration into the United Kingdom has reached a record 504,000 in the last year – 170,000 more than the previous record, representing one of the gravest crises ever faced by the country. The figure results from 1.1m immigrants and some 500,000 emigrants. And yet the new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has just agreed to let 3,000 Indian students a year study in the UK even as the Home Office identifies overseas students as a major source of migration as they are allowed to bring families!
Even the Home Secretary has described the crisis as “an invasion”. A military invasion would at least be paid for by the invaders and there would be the prospect of defeating them (as Britain has done for 1,000 years) permanently removing their power and influence. Mass migrations of those of different language, race, religion and cultural values, aided and financed by the British government, (with repatriations impossibly restricted by international conventions) with the right to bring families and be indefinitely fed, housed, educated, given votes, welfare, health and pension rights represents a permanent and irreversible change to the entire country.
The crisis is driven by a Government whose financial and State incompetence creates ever greater demand with ever lower productivity and wealth, right wing corporatists demanding cheaper labour and imperialist socialists denuding poor countries of their skilled workers in their pursuit of new voters, of a multicultural takeover and the end of democratic capitalism.
The immigration crisis, along with the related massive State spending and debt crisis, is part of the legacy of Boris Johnson for which the British people will be paying for generations to come. It was Johnson who following introduction of the post-Brexit system in early 2021, introduced a loosening of the work and study visa systems and a removal of key controls, lost control of Government spending, closed down the economy, incurred record deficits and national debt and increased State employees by 250,000.
In 1990 I wrote a Bow Group paper showing that the Conservative Party had become a corporatist party, no longer interested in individuals, families, entrepreneurs, savers, small businesses, low personal taxes and communities but in low taxes for big business, the City, State spending and debt, cheap labour and supranational politics and business. They had privatised monopolistic State corporations for State profit rather than for competitive public service.
In 1997 they suffered their biggest electoral defeat since 1906 and in came Tony Blair who, in taking the left wing Labour Party to the right met Major’s left wing Tories in corporatism – that unholy and sclerotic alliance between State socialism and right wing big business. Cameron and Osborne (the self confessed “heirs to Blair”) continued the process, inviting communist/atheist totalitarian China to be more extensively involved in British business and academic life! (only now being reversed).
THE OLD BANGER ECONOMY DEMANDS IMMIGRATION
Just as the immigration crisis has got worse the Confederation of British Industry has told the Government that “business” needs more immigrants. Just as no matter how much money is poured into the NHS the situation gets worse so no matter how much cheap labour flows to the CBI they still demand more.
The fundamental problem is the permanent failure of the corporatist State. When an “old banger” car is too inefficient and out of date the driver thinks pushing the accelerator to the floor will produce higher speeds. In fact it produces ever lower speeds. So it is with the State and incompetent big business (subsidised by the State). The more Government loses control of the over indulged State machine, the more it borrows and spends until it dare not tax more and so resorts to the “printing press” and higher inflation (the covert – and illegal! – form of tax, taking money out of the peoples’ savings). That feeds through first of all into the Stock market, making it cheaper for big business to raise money and out compete their smaller competitors. Liam Halligan the economist has chronicled one of the disastrous results – increasing industrial concentration in British industry.
The turnover of the UK’s 100 largest businesses has risen from 21% to 28% of all output and the average mark up of big firms has risen from 20% to 60%
Meanwhile as the biggest debtor of all the State makes the biggest profit from inflation as it devalues its debt and its spending now accounts for 45% of GDP.
All this leads to the increase in power, funding and labour hoarding of the State Corporatists and ever more workers, especially the skilled and educated, are concentrated in the State and increasingly uncompetitive sectors while those in the competitive, wealth producing, democratic market place (without those privileges) are bankrupted. This leads to a lower State tax take, more spending on unemployment and welfare and the tax and inflate cycle begins again.
The Government repeatedly pushes the accelerator on the old banger economy to the floor, artificially boosting the demand for uncompetitive products and dragging in labour from abroad. The NHS for instance has recruiting teams in 15 countries!
THE TRADE IN PEOPLE IS CRUEL AND UNNECESSARY
On the one hand sanctimonious Governments, the totalitarian left and the corporatist right condemn “people traffickers” and “labour exploitation”, on the other hand their politics mean that they are the greatest traffickers and exploiters of all.
State manipulation, corporate employment and multinationals’ greed enable and enforce borderless states, the free movement of labour, the cultural alienation it causes and the economic failure it produces.
As I have pointed out on this website repeatedly (http://freenations.net/markets-make-mass-migrations-unnecessary/) only free markets and trade in goods and services can replace the forced movement of people. Free nations trading with free nations under international rules are as important as and are an integral part of the competitive, people driven markets of nations’ democratic capitalism.
NATIONISM AND LOYALTIES
This website is based on the concept of Nationism – a term I coined in 1994 in the book “Treason at Maastricht” and which I have promoted for nearly 30 years. http://freenations.net/nationism-not-nationalism/
What is clear despite the forced movement of labour and the artificial enticement of money demand in the developed world (as those governments strive to keep the standard of living of their peoples despite historic decline) is that there remains the natural loyalty of the “trafficked” for their countries of origin. As I showed here http://freenations.net/nationism-in-the-covid-crisis-people-know-where-their-home-is/ the COVID crisis showed how migrants’s instinctive desire in a crisis is to “go home”.
A Pole during the COVID crisis was condemned by British and European courts to die in Britain rather than return home to his family. Al Italia flights between London and Rome were empty on the flight to London and full on the return leg to Rome. In Italy itself there was a mass exodus of East European nurses as they too wanted to be “at home” in a crisis. After the COVID crisis lockdowns were over, 1.3m foreigners left the UK.
But socialist and corporatist imperialism continues to drive poor country skills to rich countries for the profit of big business – and the State. That is classic Corporatism and the basis of the globalist elitists who now fear the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, the disastrous handling of COVID, the rebellion of “populists”, and the political rise of the third world could herald the end of corporatist globalism. So enter the new shibboleth – the GREAT RE SET, an attempt to rescue the supranational globalists and corporatists who caused the crises in the first place.
