UK: The message of Remain is that we do not deserve our country. Rich foreigners have seized it. An editorial in the Salisbury Review.

Donald Trump … is a product of the hatred and frustration of working-class Americans at seeing their country stolen from them by a sneering intellectual élite who have made fashion plates of black gangsters, ignored Islamic atrocities and persecuted Christians who oppose gay marriage. We too need a Trump if anybody is going to listen to us.

Nobody is. A people smuggling racket was recently discovered in Calais in which abandoned children hoping to come to England under an amnesty were being pushed aside in favour of young men of between 16 and 32 years of age claiming to be ‘children’.

It was so blatant many believed the scheme had fallen into the hands of smuggling gangs who were manipulating or deceiving the social workers involved. But a social worker dismissed complaints that the public was being duped. Every refugee had the right to come here and we should not complain. One got the impression that it was simply none of our business.

This is the standard post-Marxist agenda of many of the people involved in our social institutions. If we British think that somehow we own our own country then we are monstrously deluded. The colonial west exploited the third world for centuries and it is now restitution time. We seized their lands now they will seize ours.

So when the ordinary British react by voting to leave the EU, or demonstrate against admitting hundreds of thousands of immigrants from some of the most backward countries in the world, they can be dismissed as racists, stupid, or the law can be turned on them. This is the message of Remain. We do not deserve our country. Rich foreigners have seized it.

Which is why those great achievements of British history: free speech, liberty, freedom of religion as well as the right to privacy have been turned on their heads. Now the only people allowed to speak freely are our conquerors, the only religion to be defended is one that preaches medieval barbarity, while our notions of privacy have been monstrously twisted so that foreign killers and rapists are allowed to remain at large in the country, while the law-abiding go about in fear. …

The institutions of state have been taken over by the left. Opponents are simply ignored. Lunacy has taken hold. …
