Diversity - The Age of Unreason

[Oddball]

The age of unreason
Leo McKinstry


At the entrance to my local library there is a large glossy poster which carries the slogan ‘Celebrate Diversity’. It sounds like an order. We citizens must express our joy at the changing nature of Britain, or else. But that means we must ignore the evidence of our eyes and ears.

All around I see mounting social anarchy, gross corruption in the democratic process, the destruction of liberty, mass ignorance and brutality, paralysis in the police, the breakdown of the family and the loss of any faith in the justice system. Only last week an Algerian migrant twice refused asylum in this country was sent to prison for 17 years for plotting a terrorist campaign, while a 15-year-old black girl was stabbed to death at a party in east London, allegedly for standing on another teenage reveller’s toes. Yet I am informed that I must celebrate diversity, celebrate the new richness of multi-ethnic Britain. It is all too reminiscent of the old Soviet Union, whose penurious citizens had to queue for food but were told that they were living in a workers’ paradise.

Face it... small dose of change would do much good for Britain... Those double taps of Yours are unbearable...

The most significant fact about this very interesting article is that it had been written by a leftist journalist: the proof that all the leftists are not voluntary or unconscious ostriches.

"Small dose of change" ........ for Ireland as an example:

.... good or bad? A small or a big "dose"?

Btw, will the patient survive the operation? ;)

Kind of odd, isn't it? I remember when I was a kid in the 1970's being bombarded with "overpopulation" propaganda at school and in the media - how "we" must control our numbers - and I vividly remember visiting the Museum of Science in Boston in 1975, and they showed a 1 meter x 1 meter square on the floor with the plaque that said "this is how much room each human will have in the year 2000". Evidently the "scientists" in Boston had never ventured west of the Berkshires.

So as a result of all this reproductive hooey and social engineering, we westerners are culturally killing ourselves off by failing to reproduce even enough to replenish our numbers. And so what do we do? Are we content to live with the world we have created on purpose? Or do we strive to reverse the trend so that we are able to sustain ourselves with our own culture? No - we now import people from elsewhere to shore up our numbers, and voice no opposition to them bringing their cultures with them.

So the issue is not one of concern over pure numbers - we realize that we must continue to grow, but have we condemned ourselves and our cultures to the dustbin of history? The foreigners have ventured west of the Berkshires - they know there's plenty of land and opportunity out there, and they're going to live there.

As far as "diversity" goes (a term which prompts a queasy feeling within me) - we have a Diversity Fair poster in our lobby which shows all kinds of different people, dressed in their traditional cultural outfits - and the slogan "we are one". But the very purpose of a diversity fair is to show that we are not all one. If we were all one, the picture would show all people dressed as we do in our culture, not the cultures "back home" that they attempt to implement here. Holding a fair, to point out differences, so that we can all pretend not to have any differences. Very, very strange.
