Quote of the Day

Lord Tebbit in the Telegraph. I must say he is a great blogger, in that, like Peter Hitchens in the Mail, he responds in each column to the comments from the last. More power to his keyboard.

The good news however is of the stirrings of revolt across the continent. It is not, as some have called it, the rise of the far right even in Sweden. A yearning to live amongst one’s one countrymen and women and to enjoy one’s own nation’s culture is neither left nor right. It is perfectly healthy.
To which I replied :

"A yearning to live amongst one’s one countrymen and women and to enjoy one’s own nation’s culture is neither left nor right. It is perfectly healthy."

Absolutely correct. Which is why I can't blame the inhabitants of Manningham, Blackburn or Sparkbrook for wanting (and getting) to live among their own countrymen and for enjoying their own nation’s culture. But the fact that the culture is not British has profound implications for us.
