Brendan O’Neill is really on fire in a recent article about migration and especially illegal migration by small boats. Mr O’Neill viciously but justifiably tore into Britain’s political elite for not controlling Britain’s borders and being dishonest about the nature of those who are pouring into the country on small, but now much bigger, boats.

Mr O’Neill said in the context of political comment over the arrival of a mega boat containing hundreds of unwanted invaders:

“The gaslighting we have been subjected to over the boats crisis is extraordinary. Even now, even following the arrival on Monday of a mega-dinghy containing a record 230 people, they are waging psychological warfare against us. It was put to Angela Rayner, the housing secretary, that ordinary people will feel ‘rage’ over the government’s gutless unwillingness to defend the borders. ‘Well’, she said, puffing herself up with phoney virtue, ‘these are desperate, vulnerable people…’. They are often ‘women and children’, she said.

They’re lying to us. As I listened to Rayner trot out that knackered line about hard-done victims from overseas scrambling for the sanctity of our shores yada yada, I was looking at a photo of the mega dinghy. I saw man after man – fit, able, strong blokes from distant climes. Rayner’s doublespeak would make Orwell blush. ‘Women and children’, she yelps, as we all watch with our own eyes the arrival of yet more fighting-age men. They hold us in such depthless contempt they don’t even bother to make their bullshit believable.”

Mr O’Neill is correct. The government are not telling the truth about the nature of the invaders. They are not women and children, they are mostly men and potentially dangerous men from incompatible cultures at that. We can see the invasion, we experience it in our towns and cities and our womenfolk have to live in fear of what these invaders might do and have done. We know what’s happening but still the Government lie to us about what’s happening.

Mr O’Neil called the Government’s response to the invasion of illegals ‘spineless’ and indeed it is. It is a failure by the government to undertake what is the primary duty of a government which is to protect its own people from harm coming in from outside. Our governments care little about the girls who might be raped by these invaders in places like Darlington or whether or not they might get all stabby in West London, but they do care about international agreements such as the 1951 Refugee Convention and the various Statelessness Conventions. Any decent government that placed the safety of its subjects to the fore would have abrogated themselves from these agreements and defended the borders. Britain’s governments whether they be Tory, Coalition or Labour have not done that, they’ve just kept the door propped open and allowed mobile danger in to the country.

Instead of robust border controls which Britons deserve and require, we’ve got lies, obfuscation and a promise from Prime Minister Andy Burnham that the tide of human effluent that is rocking up on Britain’s shores will not just be placed in working class areas but will be dumped on middle class areas as well. Burnham fails to see or accept that what is needed is not to have the imported invading shit smeared more thinly across the country, but that the borders be defended so that this invasion doesn’t happen at all. Mr O’Neill added that in lieu of a proper and robust response to the invasion what Britons have got instead is accusations of ‘racism’ should Britons have the temerity to complain about the invasion. However Mr O’Neil pointed out that the libel of racism no longer works on Britain’s working classes and they will no longer be silenced on the issue of migration control.

Mr O’Neill said:

“The ‘racist’ libel won’t work anymore. The working classes are at breaking point and they won’t be silenced by a turbo-smug activist class that cynically derives both virtue and servants from out-of-control immigration. They are fuming about the border crisis, not because they hate foreigners, but because they love sovereignty and the things it protects: national identity, democratic rights, the social contract itself. “

Well said Mr O’Neill. The country and the working classes, the backbone of the nation, have indeed been pushed to breaking point by the invasion of often dangerous men who not only pose a risk to Britons and their families but who also divert resources that should be used for our own people to help them live better lives. Britons have been let down and can no longer be silenced with the ‘racism’ libel. The boats need to be stopped as the men who arrive on them have murdered and raped too many Britons already for it to be allowed to continue.
