Today witnessed Ed Miliband’s third speech in less than a
year that was delivered with the intent of generating headlines that he and the
Labour Party had finally awakened to the fact that the majority of people –
British people that is – had neither wished for nor endorsed Labour’s policy of
encouraging mass immigration. In this respect, the BBC dutifully reported today’s speech addressed to the Fabian Society as constituting an admission
that Labour ‘did not do enough for ordinary people, becoming distant on issues
such as immigration.’ What Miliband then went on to emphasise, as in his
previous speeches on Englishness in June and immigration in December, was that
he was unapologetic for the fact that the ethnic and cultural fabric of society
had been radically altered, and that on the contrary, he rather liked it and that it
was something (to use a much abused word in recent years) to be ‘celebrated’.
In a telling sentence he stated: ‘I bow to nobody in my celebration of the
multi-ethnic, diverse nature of Britain.’
Since last June Ed Miliband has plainly be toying with Blue
Labour rhetoric as advocated by Jon Cruddas, in an attempt to reconnect with
Labour’s neglected and alienated former bedrock of support: the indigenous
working class. However, Miliband has made it clear on a number of occasions
that he finds the substance of Blue Labour rather too strong to stomach, so he
has chosen instead to don patriotic drag in an attempt to portray a party that
is still wholeheartedly in favour of mass immigration, muliticulturalism and
the promotion of non-indigenous interests (I hesitate to employ the term
‘ethnic minority’ for the English are now a minority in their own capital) as
standing up for the national interest. His arrogation of Disraeli’s ‘One
Nation’ phrase is a conscious part of this attempt to dupe and manipulate
public opinion. People would be advised to consider that when Miliband speaks
of ‘one nation’, he is referring to all of the populations of the globe
resident in our country, not to our nation: 'I am proud to celebrate the multi-ethnic, diverse nature of Britain.'
Although Miliband is correct in criticising the
Conservatives for fostering divisions in society, he is wrong in positing
Labour as the answer to these divisions, for he is intent upon cementing and
widening the divisions that he and his party so assiduously cultivated whilst
in power. If voters wish to find the positive political substance of ‘Blue
Labour’, then they are going to have to look for it outside of the Labour Party.
Miliband’s three speeches relating to this theme illustrate that although he
and his likeminded confederates have heard the discontent emanating from the
British public on this score and been unnerved by it, they have not listened,
and they will not act upon it.
Ed Miliband's vision of 'One Nation' revisited for a third time
no one with a whit of intelligence should vote for any of the Vested Interest Parties.
ReplyDeletethey are all traitors.
Then again, there are some people, although not us, who benefit from such policies, so it would certainly be in their interest to continue to vote for such parties.
DeleteI don't know why they bother to ask us to vote for one or the other, there appears to be no difference between Labour or the Tories.
ReplyDelete'I bow to nobody in my celebration of the multi ethnic, diverse nature of Britain'...if you asked people who said this half would say Cameron.
They might just as well take turns to 'govern', who would notice?
There are a few differences regarding taxation policy, but in the grand scheme of things they count for little considering the full-blooded promotion of globalism pursued by the two parties you mention.
DeleteAll three so-called independent parties should be refered to what they are in reality ie the globalist and anti-British Lib/Lab/CON party. They vary slightly in how they are anti-British but they are ALL anti-British in one way or another and ALL subscribe to the ruinious creed of globalism.
ReplyDeleteI'll stick with referring to them as 'globalist'. Anti-Britishness is both implicit and explicit in this term.
DeleteYes, it is a good shorthand method of implying their total lack of any real sense of patriotism and one world outlook. It is our political 'swearword' for them.
