They are not demonstrating--they are thugging!

Paris today was a disaster. The demonstrations against new employment laws today by peaceful activists were, as usual, taken over by thugs. It seems that every demonstration in Europe or the UK is an excuse for thugs to take control (witness the scenes photographed in Saturday's Daily Mail). Hooligans are graphically caught on camera mugging and robbing innocent passers-by and peaceful demonstrators.

No demonstration is complete without the hard, and out-numbering, mobs who see these events as an excuse to mug, stir and disrupt public life.

But it goes deeper than that. Unfortunately, and I do not apologise for this, most of these yobs (and you need only to look at the screen), are either impoverished illegal immigrants or legal immigrants with a sour view of their "new" countries. (In the UK anyone who gets past immigration feels he hasa right to benefits---handed out like Smarties), and can protest at the drop of a hat. The recent case of the cockle-pickers in Morecambe Bay confirms my suspicions: thousands are coming into the country in droves.Thousands are un-detected and, although many are peacefully seeking a solution to their lives, others are "In Britain" for the criminal pickings. Add France to the list and Spain.

It should stop but it won't. Britain and France have allowed too many immigrants (legal or illegal), to cross their shores. The discontent swells and the authorities are fast asleep. Thirty years ago Enoch Powell warned, In similar words: There will be a tide of immigrants who shall swamp your lives.

I am not the greatest admirer of Powell but I can see what he meant. Cities like Birmingham will be non-British in ethnicity within years. Manchester follows. And while Britain and France sleep, the yobs will plunder.

The troubles of Europe are in their monoculture view.  They have always been a single culture, and cannot understand what immigration means, and how to accomodate it.  You are right, they had better learn fast, or cease to exist.

It's a problem with the human race as a whole, and it is going to get worse. You have a world full of have-nots for which life is genuinely unfair, mixed with new generations of haves that think that not only are they entitled to a fair chance, but guaranteed ease and unbridled hedonism.

If the two every get together there will be a lot of death and destruction. I'm putting my money on the Conservatives, though. We've shown ourselves to be the ones who most easily steel ourselves to do nasty things on a grand scale. Eventually it will be peace through superior yobbery. Let them toss rocks, we have hardware and a penchant for collateral casualties when we feel justified. We can apologize and make a memorial later.
