New Labour has two separate immigration policies. The first is the one it endlessly proclaims to the public – of supposedly tough restrictions, raids on employers of illegal workers, expulsions of those with no right to stay here.
The second is the real one, unwisely disclosed a few weeks ago by the former Blairite functionary Andrew Neather. This is that mass immigration is an important part of the cultural revolution in which Britain is being dissolved into a new and different country.
This is accompanied by a widespread belief among the new elite that immigration – which provides them with cheap childcare and a great variety of restaurants – is an unmixed blessing.
Others see a different aspect – familiar neighbourhoods changed out of all recognition, together with heavy pressure on schools, housing and medical services.
The tension between the Government’s false public face and its real aims is a source of endless trouble for Ministers.
And while it is right that revelations such as those in The Mail on Sunday today – that Government and official bodies have hired 349 unlawful foreign workers – should lead to uncomfortable questions for individual Ministers, this is not enough.
The blatant nature of these cases – which include illegal immigrants actually working in the office that is meant to control illegal immigration – shows that the existing State has no genuine will to act on this issue.
Thanks to our membership of the European Union, it can in any case only control migration from outside the EU.
But even on the issue of arrivals from non-European nations, where it could act forcefully, it is lax and complacent.
It is no good announcing more crackdowns, initiatives or even the review demanded by the Tories.
What is needed is for the elite to acknowledge openly that the existing policy is wrong and damaging to our society and that opposition to mass immigration is reasonable and civilised.
Then it can devise rules that have real force behind them, and ensure that in future those rules will be efficiently and energetically enforced.

Good to see a real nationalist online Sir, if you don’t mind me saying so, blogging is a somewhat thankless task, thankless that is, unless one subscribes to this new type of nationalism or endorses hate for hates sake. In that case comments are infrequent at best and at worst not at all, it would seem sir that in this age, real nationalism, which is only love of country and people and the desire to preserve them, is a lost cause, Britannia is on her knees and few care or indeed wish to save her, to say nothing of Europe or indeed our genotype, take care sir
Thanks for the encouragement, I've only just sussed out that there were comments.
Some blogger I am.
Sorry it took so long.
