British people generally and David Cameron specifically, have been accused of ‘racism’ and ‘xenophobia’ because of the ongoing and worsening migrant problem currently engaging the world.

Calling them ‘a swarm’ was not Dave Cam’s finest choice of words, but no-one ever said he was clever when under pressure. Yet that term really encapsulates the nature of this problem. Because its all about the plurality. And what is the correct collective term for illegal immigrants? I don’t know, neither does David Cameron.

So Britain ‘lacks compassion’ and has ‘forgotten its humanity’ because we’re trying to stop a mere 2000 people a night from crossing onto our island. Our relatively small but exceedingly welfare stated island.

If you read of one man, let’s say from Eritrea, or Syria, who was persecuted at home, lived under threat and worked his way laboriously westwards, swimming over seas, paying piratical bastards to over-fill dinghies and float them rudderlessly across the Med, walked from Italy to Calais and wanted to come to Britain, we would be compassionate and show him care and consideration. Ok, then we’d probably deport him, but we’d give him the benefit of the doubt. Or maybe the benefits of the doubt. Because once he’s here we’ll support him completely. Its what we do.

But this is not one man. This is thousands. Never ending. Limitless. And not just those under political threat, but also those who are ‘economic migrants’ looking for a better life. And who can blame them if they have no future in the land of their birth?

Logically, any European country would offer the same opportunity of work and wealth, maybe not Greece, Portugal, Ireland, but most. Yet its Britain they want. And we simply can’t sustain half a million people coming here every year with an ‘open-door’ policy.

So yes, I do ‘feel’ for many of these people. But we simply can’t take the massive physical, social and financial burden of accommodating them all. It doesn’t add up.

Let the Irishman who accused us of racism open a refuge in Galloway for them and we’ll send them over there. Thousands and thousands and thousands of them.

Happy racist Saturday
