Piddington shows how much the globalists hate us. By Fraser Myers at spiked.
Piddington is a nice village in England, about 10 miles northeast of Oxford.
With a population of just 350, [it] will soon be forced to welcome around 1,250 mostly male ‘asylum seekers’. UK communities secretary Angela Rayner has confirmed she will use emergency powers to override the furious local opposition and will fast-track the conversion of a former military barracks into accommodation for illegal immigrants.
The Piddington asylum camp confirms that, whatever Labour ministers may say in public, providing for illegal immigrants is their overriding concern. And there is no amount of public anger, legal challenges or difficult headlines that will ever get in their way. …
The problem:
The case against the Piddington camp is so overwhelming and obvious that it is incredible it needs to be stated. Villagers will soon be outnumbered by illegal immigrants by four to one. Women in Piddington will be outnumbered by eight to one. Anyone who so much as glances at a newspaper will understand the dangers here. Every single man in the camp will have arrived in Britain illegally. None will have faced any serious vetting. Many will come from countries that are so misogynistic the Foreign Office advises women not to travel there. The new arrivals will likely even be given one of the Home Office’s new guidebooks, asking them not to rape, sexually abuse or harass any women or children they encounter. Downing Street’s insistence that the safety of locals is its ‘top priority’ is an insult to the nation’s intelligence. It is about to spend £250million on a project that is all but guaranteed to make Piddington less safe.
The locals are organized against it:
The fact that even the Piddingtonians are to have a migrant camp foisted on them is especially disheartening. Their campaigns have been well-organised, disciplined and eye-catching. The symbolic referendum, in which residents voted overwhelmingly to declare independence from the United Kingdom in protest against the migrant camp, hit international headlines.
The fears of local women, as expressed in a local letter to all female MPs, had a similarly outsized impact on the migration debate. Senior figures from Reform UK and the Tories have visited the village, hoping to bolster the locals’ campaign and embarrass the Labour Party. Yet none of this has made the slightest dent in the government’s determination to house illegal migrants here. …
Not even the anointed people can stop the illegal immigrants:
Then there is the class dimension. For good or ill, Piddington’s revolting residents have been given a far more sympathetic hearing than similar anti-migrant protesters. …
The Lib Dem-voting residents have largely been spared the usual smears of ‘racist’ and ‘far right’ that have been levelled at anti-asylum protesters in places like Crowborough, Taunton, Gosport and Portsmouth. But even this hasn’t helped their cause. …
When protesters as well-heeled and well-organised as the Piddingtonians are unable to have their voices heard, what hope is there for the rest of us?
Britons have taken almost every opportunity to register their displeasure with out-of-control immigration at the ballot box. Polls routinely find that opposition to illegal migration cuts across party lines and class divides. And yet the government still uses every power at its disposal, not to stop the boats, but to accommodate an endless influx of arrivals.
If there were any lingering doubt, Piddington proves it: the well-being of illegal immigrants trumps the safety, rights and democratic voice of British citizens at every turn.
There you have it, laid bare. The globalists in charge hate their citizens and love their third world immigrants.
And the hypocrisy! Is this a sample of what is to occur on a national level is several western nations? Talk about virtue signaling coinciding with reality, as Leo Kearse explains:
Like most nice, kind, middle-class people, they march against the “far-right” and voted Lib Dem, a left-wing party who want to welcome refugees.
Then the government announced plans to create an enormous migrant camp holding 1,256 asylum seekers on the edge of Piddington. Piddington’s lefties realised they were going to have to deal with the consequences of their own opinions. They thought this camp would be somewhere else, next to some working-class people, as is usual. But no, it’s going to be next to them. So they’re now trying to get the migrants moved — but without looking anti migrant themselves. …
Women of Piddington recorded a video begging women in Parliament to stop the camp. You’ve got to admire the optimism of appealing to politicians who do nothing while grooming gangs operate across working-class areas, except for telling the victims they should “shut up for the good of diversity”. …
Rachel from Piddington condemned the “far right” and their “fear and xenophobia”. Well, if you don’t have any fear of this migrant camp, why not let it be built? She also condemned other people in the village for their racism and bigotry — while also saying that they’d made her black husband feel welcome. For a bunch of racists, these villagers don’t sound very racist.
National newspapers, who’d completely ignored working-class people concerned about migrants in their area, suddenly found the space to run stories about middle-class women worried about camps in their area. Every woman who spoke to the media was keen to stress that they weren’t opposed to the migrants coming to Britain — they just didn’t think that near their house was a suitable location. …
Like all the women, [Alice West, another Piddington woman] was keen to stress that this wasn’t about the background of the men. Alice said, “If you added 1,256 males of any demographic to the end of our village, the risk to women would rise”. Really? Because it used to be a military base with 2,500 personnel, mainly men. Nobody was worried about it then.
For all that the women protest “it’s not about the type of man, it’s the numbers, we’re too middle class to be racist”, they all deliberately chose to live in a place that has one type of man. Piddington is 96% white.
Their worst fear: being called “racist”:
I wish the people of Piddington, the people everywhere in Britain, would get over this anxiety, this hang-up of being called racist. Just let yourself be called racist. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s a trick. It’s engineered social pressure designed to make you accept being conquered, having your land taken from you, having your children attacked.
I get called racist all the time. I just say, “Thanks!”
