Immigration is out of hand. By Nigel Farage, the most popular political leader in Britain at the moment. In The Telegraph.
It appears Sir Jim Ratcliffe kicked up something of a hornet’s nest this week. The Ineos tycoon gave an interview in which he announced Britain has been “colonised” by migrants.
No sooner had Sir Jim’s remarks been broadcast than the Downing Street outrage machine cranked into overdrive. Sir Keir Starmer responded by saying Britain was “a proud, tolerant and diverse country” and called on Sir Jim to apologise. A Downing Street spokesperson claimed the comments “play into the hands of those who want to divide our country”.
Well, frankly, I don’t care if Sir Keir and his dwindling band of acolytes inside the No 10 bunker found Ratcliffe’s comments difficult to stomach.
Because like millions of ordinary Britons I immediately recognised what Ratcliffe was talking about.
Yes, the use of the word “colonised” was a controversial choice. Sir Jim has since admitted as much.
But the essence of what he was saying was undeniable. With so many millions people now on welfare, we cannot continue to turn to migrant labour.
You hardly need to be a sociologist to see that over the past two decades, net migration in this country has been allowed to run to totally unsustainable levels.
Towns and cities have been transformed within the space of a single generation. Communities have changed beyond recognition.
Our urban areas now carry street signs in foreign languages alongside English. On the London Underground, Transport for London has installed bilingual signs in specific areas.
People can see the pressures in their communities. They can feel the pace of change — and not in a healthy way.
Public services — GP surgeries, schools, housing — are now straining at the seams. Wages at the lower end of the labour market have been suppressed. …
Significant areas in our towns and cities have changed into something completely different from what they were. And it’s all making us poorer.
The political class told us mass immigration was economically essential. They told us it would be modest and controlled. They told us it would not fundamentally alter the character of the nation. …
Just like Australia:
This crumbling Labour Government, turning ever further to the Left, will carry on burying their heads in the sand over the issue. Anyone who questions immigration will be denounced as racist or “far-Right”.
Meanwhile the Tories, who have been noticeably quiet over Ratcliffe’s comments, will do everything they can to avoid discussing migration numbers.
They know it’s a problem their disastrous period in office helped exacerbate. In voters’ minds, the 4.8 million immigrants who arrived during the so-called “Boriswave” of 2021-24 will neither be forgiven nor forgotten.
The legacy media in Australia have been reporting the leadership tussle in the Liberal Party entirely as a horse race, without ever mentioning that it is really about policy. Because then they would have to mention the policy issue, which they desperately want to avoid. Meanwhile, One Nation is streaking up in the polls, like Farage’s party in the UK. The number one issue on the One Nation ballot booth fliers at the last election? Stop mass immigration.
The globalists don’t want to talk about it.
“It’s not happening.”
“But if it was happening it would be a good thing.”
“OK, it is happening, but now it’s too late for you to do anything about it.”
Enough.
My whole life, everyone told me that Ayn Rand’s villains were too evil and cartoonish.
Even she didn’t envision rape gangs targeting 10% of little White girls — or a government that colluded and covered it up.

UPDATE: New Liberal leader Angus Taylor seems to have got it, where Sussan Ley did not:
Angus Taylor has unveiled an “Australia first” policy strategy that combines an immigration crackdown on people who “hate Australia” with an emphasis on economic liberalism that “invests in Australians”.
The newly appointed Opposition Leader and his deputy Jane Hume pledged to “fight the worst Labor government in Australian history” and to restore the “Australian dream”. …
Mr Taylor said the key challenges the nation faced were home ownership, cost of living, migration, and the aftermath of the antisemitic Bondi terrorist attack driven by Islamic extremism....
He said the nation must once again “unapologetically defend Australian values”.
On migration, he said that if someone seeking to come to Australia “doesn’t subscribe to our core beliefs, the door must be shut” and that the intake had been too high.
“We don’t want bad immigration,” he said.
“It’s been too high, the numbers, and the standards have been too low and that must change.”
He said most immigrants knew that the right to come to Australia was “one of the greatest gifts a human being could ever have received in history”.
“But if people want to come to this country who don’t believe in democracy, don’t believe in the rule of law and don’t believe in our basic freedoms, that is a problem and it is unacceptable,” he said.
“The truth is that some people do not want to change in order to fit with our core values, and those core values are pretty simple, they’re pretty fundamental and they have stood the test of time for a great nation.”
At last, some non-fringe opposition to the globalists. The lefties and media will all call him “racist,” so brace for impact. (“Racist”? What, the left, who were in favor of the Voice, are claiming a monopoly on being allowed to be racist?) Migration front and center.
Oh, and:
“Australia needs an energy policy that is based on common sense, not Labor’s net-zero ideology.
“We will get rid of Labor’s bad carbon taxes on the family vehicle, on manufacturing and food in this country and, of course, on electricity.
