Multiculturalist Ideology (Part One): A Rationale For Race War Politics
An Examination Of The Logic of Multiculturalism
An Examination Of The Logic of Multiculturalism
Boris Johnson (BJ) has set out 10 points that he believes ‘anyone interested in politics should be doing’:
In saying he wants to ‘fix’ 10 things might sound glib, but it more importantly betrays a shallowness that lies at the heart of what has gone wrong with the Tories. It dodges engaging the ideological battle that is responsible for the problems the UK faces, including the 10 points.
1. BJ wants to build more homes and de-regulate the planning process. His aim is to appeal to younger voters. He makes no mention whatever of the demand for housing, and the shortfall of housing, caused by mass immigration. The open borders immigration policy his government introduced is certain to make the housing shortage an ever worsening problem. Mass Immigration Must End.
2. BJ accuses Labour of wanting to ‘get back to free movement’ with the EU, accuses them of having no plan to deal with illegal immigration, and reiterates the case for the Rwanda plan. He makes no reference of the need to even control, let alone reduce, legal immigration. His ‘fix’ is a cop out.
3. BJ advocates ‘a national campaign for proper literacy and numeracy at 11’ and ‘practical skills’ so that businesses are not dependant upon immigrant labour. All political parties would happily advocate this. If the Tories were capable of delivering on this issue, then why did they not do so?
4. The focus for BJ is ‘the interface between the NHS and social care’. There is more to this issue than that.
5. According to BJ: ‘We need to revive he vision for high-speed rail across the country, including HS2.’ He also wants something doing about London’s airports and Crossrail 2. This is London centric and is of little relevance to the supposed levelling up agenda. The UK does not need high-speed rail.
6. BJ complains about government spending being too high and that Labour will increase it still further. He does not reconcile this with his fixes 1 and 5 above, nor why it is so high after 14 years of Tory governance.
7. BJ states ‘we obviously need to get back, at the very least, to the [tax] rates under Tony Blair. If you can cut the cost of government, and you can, then you can certainly cut taxation.’ Getting back to the same levels of taxation as existed under Tony Blair is feeble, and why was it not done?
8. Apparently, ‘Middle England’ is concerned about the environment, and ‘we in Britain are world leaders in many green technologies, and the net zero agenda is already driving the creation of many tens of thousands of good jobs … there just aren’t enough votes in being anti-net zero’. This is delusional. Net zero is crippling the UK economy, closing steel plants, and forcing up the cost of energy, the costs of which are far lower in other countries. All the UK is doing is importing large amounts of solar panels, wind turbines etc from other countries – in particular from China. The UK does not lead the world at all.
9. BJ believes that the capitalist system is not delivering higher standards of living. He cites Quantitative Easing, pay disparity between the boardrooms and the shop floors. He offers no policy solutions.
10. BJ believes that Brexit was the opportunity to change things for the better and that the Remainers were determined to prevent the UK taking back control. He is correct that there is, as Liz Truss said but did not define, declinism (I will define it as: a belief or policy that the best the UK can expect, or deserves, is the orderly management of decline). There is also the onslaught of political correctness, which BJ ignores. There is an ideological battle to be fought, but BJ does not want to see it.
BJ’s manifesto is weak stuff. He could advocate nearly all his proposed fixes in almost any political party. They verge on socialism. He advocates nothing concrete to get government spending down. He ignores the major issues that are crushing the UK economy and threatening our very existence as a nation.
The Tory conference is little better.
