Goodbye England

To a liberal it is far more important to feel good than it is to survive.
Thus they did *** where they were, now they are moving on, to feel good
elsewhere. Apparently, cultural shitting feels good to these.

From a country which has pissed away an Empire in less than a century :

England is Vanishing
By Cal Thomas

"There'll Always Be an England" -- popular World War II song.

BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND -- Perhaps there will not always be an
England. An exodus unprecedented in modern times, coupled with a record
influx of foreigners, is threatening to erode the character of the land
of William Shakespeare and overpowering monarchs, a land that served as
the cradle for much of American thought, law and culture.

The figures, making headlines in London newspapers, tell only part of
the story. Between June 2005 and June 2006 nearly 200,000 British
citizens chose to leave the country for a new life elsewhere. During the
same period, at least 574,000 immigrants came to Britain. This number
does not include the people who broke the law to get there, or the
thousands unknown to the government. Britain's Office of National
Statistics reports that middle-class Britons are beginning to move out
of towns in southern England that have become home to large numbers of
immigrants, thereby altering the character of neighborhoods that have
remained unchanged for generations.

Britons give many reasons for leaving, but their stories share one
commonality: life in Britain has become unbearable for them. They fear
lawlessness and the threat of more terrorism from a growing Muslim
population and the loss of a sense of Britishness, exacerbated by the
growing refusal of public schools to teach the history and culture of
the nation to the next generation. What it means to be British has been
watered down in a plague of political correctness that has swept the
country faster than hoof-and-mouth disease. Officials say they do not
wish to "offend" others.

Hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers are about to be granted
"amnesty" to stay in Britain. The government's approach is similar to
that pursued by President Bush, who failed to win congressional approval
for his amnesty plan. In Britain it appears likely to succeed. Migrants
will be granted immediate access to many benefits, including top
priority for council housing. Taxpayers will foot the bill.

The Shadow Home Secretary, David Davis, called the policy a "stealth
amnesty." Again, in a comment reminiscent of the debate in America, Sir
Andrew Green, chairman of Migrationwatch UK, said: "This is yet another
example of the Alice in Wonderland world of human rights. If you break
British law for long enough, you acquire rights not penalties."

British media have carried stories about an Italian immigrant who
murdered a schoolteacher and was sentenced to life in prison. He is
about to be released after serving just 12 years. The government wants
to deport him to Italy, but a combination of British human rights
legislation and European Union law are making it impossible to do so.
This does not bode well for deporting Islamic terrorists who call for
the overthrow of the government and incite young people to acts of
violence.

Abraham Lincoln said no nation can exist half slave and half free.
Neither can a nation be sustained if it allows conditions that result in
mass emigration, while importing huge numbers of foreigners who come
from backgrounds that do not practice assimilation or tolerance of other
beliefs. When one factors in the high number of abortions (one in five
pregnancies are aborted in England and Wales), the high birth rates of
immigrants (15 times those of white Britons), it doesn't take a
population expert to predict that the days of the England we have known
may be numbered.

The problem for Britain and the United States isn't just the change in
demographics. It is the reluctance of both countries to inculcate the
beliefs, history and, yes, religious ideals, which made our nations so
successful that others wanted to come and be a part of them. The
difference between many of the current immigrants and those of the past
is that the previous ones wanted to become fully American or fully
British. The current ones, in too many cases, would destroy what makes
our countries unique. And the "leaders" of Britain and America refuse to
stop it.

The greater tragedy is that the people of Britain have little say in any
of this, so they are taking the road of last resort. They are leaving.

Response from another NG :

Well, consider that the ones who are leaving are the ones who made
England what it is today and supported the socialistic laws which they
now find intolerable because they apply to "everyone" over there,
including the Muslims. I think that, over the last 50 years, many of them are
realizing that they "shot themselves in the foot "....

I'm not so sure that people with those attitudes, who will bail
out of a >country rather than work to fix the situation,they created would be
an asset to the US.......

I think that those that can may chose to go to Australia, since the
immigration policies and requirements for Oz tend to encourage Britons to move
there. ..... and they have a lot of room. And the general condition of
Australia is >a lot more like it was in Britain before the Muslims moved in....
Perhaps they will take a different path when they arrive there and
help to guide Australia on a different course.
