Gilad Atzmon on Multiculturalism
According to The Daily Mail, PM Tony Blair conspired to flood
Britain with immigrants in order to impose a multicultural society on the
Brits. Yesterday, the paper published a chapter from Tom Bower's explosive new biography of Tony Blair. The paper’s
subtitle reads: “Conman Blair's cynical conspiracy to deceive the British
people and let in 2 million migrants against the rules.”
According to Bower, Blair secretly instructed ministers to waive
tens of thousands of asylum seekers into the UK, by reclassifying them as
‘economic migrants.’ Blair planned to “change the face of Britain for ever with
mass immigration.” He ordered his Labour government never to discuss in public
the supposed advantages of the unprecedented influx.
If Tom Bower’s account is correct then the criticism levelled by
right wing ideologists and so-called ‘bigots’ against Labour and the left is
valid. The Labour government that purported to care for the lower classes,
implemented radical measures designed to destroy the cohesion of the working
people and dismantle their political power. Thanks to Blair and his Labour
government, the British working classes have been reduced to a workless
under-class!
Stephen Boys Smith, who was then head of the Home Office’s
immigration directorate, said about Barbara Roche, a little-known Jewish MP who
was immigration minister between 1999 and 2001: ‘It was clear that Roche wanted
more immigrants to come to Britain. She didn’t see her job as controlling entry
into Britain, but by looking at the wider picture in a “holistic way” she
wanted us to see the benefit of a multicultural society.’
According to the Mail, “Britain’s borders had been thrown open
for ideological reasons.” And if this needs official confirmation, former
Labour speechwriter Andrew Neither said the aim was to “rub the right’s nose in
diversity and render their arguments out of date.”
According to Bower, Blair thought that immigration was ‘good for
Britain’ and his silence on immigration issues “encouraged Muslims and Hindus
to believe there was no need for them to integrate with the rest of society.”
Bower provides more evidence to support his claim. ‘Why don’t we stipulate that
immigrants must speak English before we grant them British nationality? To make
British nationality a prize?’ suggested immigration chief, Tim Walker. ‘No,’
was Jack Straw’s reply. In public, Home Secretary Straw was keen to show he
wasn’t an easy touch. There should be stronger controls at the borders, he told
the Commons. Yet behind the scenes, he continued to make it easier for asylum
seekers. And harder for (Home Office) officials.
This requires an explanation. Why did Blair, Straw, Roche and
others go out of their way to suffocate Britain with economic immigrants?
Shouldn’t Left politicians focus on the interests of British workers? It is no
secret that Left and Labour movement relationships with working people are
problematic--it is dotted with mistrust. For some reason, the working class
refuse to subscribe to ‘working class politics’, they tend to vote for the
Tories. The worker is too often conservative, nationalist and patriotic, he and
she are not as revolutionary as Marx and Trotsky suggested. The worker reads
The Sun and the Daily Mail. The worker is not very interested in The Guardian
or the Miliband dynasty. For the British lower classes the Union Jack is more
meaningful than LGBT ideology, sectarian ID Political nonsense or Eric
Hobsbawm’s ‘proletarian’ history. Working class people have no need to identify
‘as working people.’ They know who they are.
The story may be even more devastating. The Mail’s story
suggests that at the time Blair & Co. conspired to destroy Britain’s
working class, the Labour Friends of Israel and Lord Levy were his prime
funders. It is known that Jewish left and Jewish academia have been at the
forefront of multi cultural and immigration advocacy (in spite of the fact that
the Jewish State's attitude towards immigrants is uniquely aggressive on the
verge of barbarian). Like Labour, Jewish academia and the Jewish left are also
suspicious of the ‘lower’ classes. After all, in the past it has been the
working classes that have united against the Jews. Jewish lobbies have been supporting
immigration and have historically joined forces with Left politicians.
Officially this advocacy is accompanied by an ethical argument. There are
strong ethical arguments in support of asylum seekers. But the argument in
support of economic migration is political rather than moral or ethical.
In 2003 Tony Blair led Britain into a Ziocon criminal war at the
same time that the Labour Friends of Israel were his prime funders and Lord
Cashpoint Levy was his chief fundraiser. We may want to verify whether it was
the LFI, Lord Cashpoint, Minister Barbara Roche and Jack Straw who led Britain
into a multi cultural experiment together with Tony Blair. We may want to
understand what exactly they had in mind. Did they try to save Britain or to
weaken some elements within British society?
I admit that at the time that I became a British citizen, Blair was at the helm. I was hailed as one of the heroes of British multiculturalism: the Guardian of Judea praised my work and the British Council shipped my band and me around the world. Of course, it didn’t take me long to burn that bridge. All I had to do was relate what I thought of Blair and multiculturalism.
