About three hours ago I watched as Police put a young bloke onto a plane & in handcuffs. Nothing too unusual about that up here but what made me sad was the fact that some people who knew the young bloke walked up to him & waved him off. here was a culprit in handcuffs so he obviously was up to some serious no good & people wave him off ? I think they should have been sent to the klink as well for being so tolerant of his misdeeds.
Whatever happened to show a young offender some cold shoulder instead of making him feel sorry for himself ?

Saltpetre "MC is going to take a while, and it all seems to be going too fast."

Yes, but try getting the utopians pushing it to admit it should be done more delicately, gradually.

No, that might mean we have to temporarily say no to some types of people.
Even a temporary cessation is unthinkable!

Even for economic, not cultural reasons, they won't stop.
When the financial crisis started, did immigration stop or even severely reduce?

How about restricting immigration to only countries that have *proven* themselves our "equal" (as opposed to merely claiming and presuming equality).

This would mean immigration primarily from related peoples/cultures (Whites), as most of the "very high development" and high GDP-per-capita countries have majority White populations.
This would be anathema for the utopians, even though its basis is economic not racial.

There would be no more than half a dozen non-White countries who pass the test.

The range would be expanded only if and when other countries rise to our level, but that may take centuries, and in some cases will never happen.

Of course, this disadvantages people who would quite easily adapt to our society, like White South Africans.

They would be judged by the national status, not their personal one.

One solution would be that proof of ancestry from an approved country might be acceptable.
White South Africans have either British or Dutch ancestry, and the UK and the Netherlands would definitely qualify.

Foxy,

A study of history should seek the facts and put them into their historical context. You demonstrate no interest in doing that and avoid the subject entirely.

Yet there are plenty of newspaper and official documents from the time available in libraries. There is a treasure trove awaiting researchers, but of course while it is very worthwhile PhD work, government grants for research can slant research towards what squeaky wheels want found and furthers their entitlements, be that their government-funded sinecure or government benefits and likely both.

However at day's end it remains the fact that while you seek entitlement and rationalise your left cultural elitist distaste for 'whites' (as in the British, apparently) and all they have done wrong in the world, and claim discrimination and even victimisation, the truth will always out somehow.

What do you call white people who degrade those white people who actually are the buttered side of the bread for the former ? Someone here should know, there are plenty of them posting.
Any links Foxy ?

otb,

The research has already been done and dusted
old chap.
To which you've been referred to many, many, times.
However your faux concern for post-graduate
studies is a good ploy it's up there with my "Leftist
elitism" and supposed "anti-British" stance.

Okay fellas I will admit that did indeed raised a laugh.

Good old Shocker wanting more of those from “countries that have *proven* themselves our "equal"” then fingering South Africans as one of them. Well I suppose if you identify with them you might consider them as 'equal' but I hoped Australia would have been far more highly regarded than South Africa.

I am not completely unconvinced that the growing intolerance in this country has stemmed at least in some measure from excessive numbers of South Aftrican apartheidists making Australia home. Our culture of tolerance is undeniably under assault.

So to individual's Pythonesque question “What do you call white people who degrade those white people” perhaps he might like to ask some of our newly acquired 'apartheidists' because they certainly had some choice terms for people they thought were inferior, though I'm not sure the response would be flattering. Might go something like 'You wouldn't know a good denigration if it hit you in the mug'.

But anyway thanks again for the chuckle.
