Never under-estimate us Brits.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I was having a great afternoon out with the missus yesterday. We had taken advantage of free bus and train travel and went into Manchester and had a gander round the Peoples Museum. Enjoyed a nice lunch and I had another couple of pints in the Wheatsheaf off Tib Lane.

Train back to Bolton and into the Bolton Interchange and walked up to our bus stop. It's all under a new canopied shelter and leaning against a railing was this I think male.

Now I'm about as liberal and tolerant as a person can get but this dress code scared me to death. Almost two meters tall, wearing black track suit bottoms with white Arabic style insignia plastered all over them, and a black puffer jacket with a floppy hood worn up. The person had a black balaclava type face covering with wire glasses and he/she was texting like mad on a mobile 'phone. The temperature was well over 20 degrees centigrade.

I'd probably over done the beer in Manchester, but I was extremely concerned about being blown up. So much so I went and found "security". The dude said he would need to find his colleague and come and investigate.

Long and short of it he came with his mate and stood looking daft for 3/4 minutes and then walked away. The wannabee ISIS member got on the bus to where we were going along with some very concerned looking passengers.

Me and the wife went to Greggs, had a coffee and a doughnut and caught the next bus.

I still think "Security" should have called the police. No wonder the MEN Arena got blown to bits.

I support immigration but for the love of God, when in Rome do as the Romans do eh, or am I being unfair?

Over an early morning cuppa Mrs BT said, I was dead right, because she was not getting on that bus even if I did!

It must have come as a shock to you BT after foaming at the mouth about Israel for all these years to find the real threat to world peace sat right on your doorstep. You can bet the local branch of the Islamic religious police will be round to a cinema near you faster than you can call your teddy bear Mohammed.

The channel crossers are an annoyance, and a galling symbol of your loss of sovereign control over your borders. However, they are the least of your problems. Single men coming alone are a flash in the pan, demographically speaking.

That is, unless you are foolish enough to allow them to import families.

The overwhelming problem facing you is the demographic consequences of legal immigration. The character of Britain will be determined by who is there in the next generation. You are seeing the early stages of a demographic catastrophe that will divide you more profoundly than the Reformation or English Civil War ever did. For you, the transformation is simply a growing list of annoyances, and a deepening feeling of humiliation. Your grandchildren will fight and die as a consequence of what you are doing to them now.

Linton-on-Ouse: This all seems perfectly normal.

That's not strictly true Robus, we do have sovereign control over our borders. But what we also have is a government not interested in exercising those controls in any meaningful way, a problem exacerbated by an opposition and media that will stir up a sh1t-storm of criticism the instant the government shows even the slightest inclination to use the powers they have to curb illegal immigration.

I've been watching Priti's efforts to send a dozen channel crossers to that tropical paradise, Rwanda. It's the Land of Opportunity!

Never mind the fact we have a hopeless, hapless government sinkov, just blame Labour for whatever our government fails to do.

"we do have sovereign control over our borders. But what we also have is a government not interested in exercising those controls in any meaningful way,"

Which parts of the above do you have difficulty understanding BT ?

Looks like the first wave are off for Rwanda, that jewel in the heart of Africa! Here is CBS News, typical of the anti-borders ideology that mainstream media in this country are pushing. It's all one globalist mob on both sides of the pond.

Boris needs to get himself a tougher Patel, like the one Nehru had.

"A ROMAN ship arrives at the foot of a cliff in southern England. Caesar’s cohorts are about to disembark when they notice a near-naked Briton, face painted blue, waving his fists on the clifftop. ‘Come on, you Italian poofs!’ he yells. ‘I’ll take on any ten of you!’

Caesar selects his ten hardest men and they scale the cliff before vanishing from sight. Five minutes later the Briton reappears. ‘That was too easy,’ he boasts. ‘Let’s have a hundred of you.’

After half an hour, a gravely injured Roman crawls down the cliff and with his dying breath gasps: ‘Caesar, it’s a trick. There’s two of them!"

Sadly, there are none of them these days. The last genetic survey showed that less than 0.01% of the current population have any DNA trace of the Brittanic tribes of the Roman era.

We're all descended from immigrants - my lot are mainly directly Viking or indirectly Viking (Normans and Irish/Scots) with a bit of spice thrown in somewhere along the line but we can trace them back to living in England for over a thousand years.

Which is why I find it amusing that recent immigrant families like Johnson's and Farage's tend to be the most nationalist and xenophobic.

There should be a law that anyone whose direct paternal family line can't be traced back to living in England for at least twenty generations shouldn't be allowed to vote - that should eliminate the far right as they're all potato famine Micks and Eastern Europeans
