The real cost of immigration exposed

Blair’s propagandists have for some time been issuing so-called official figures suggesting that immigrants annually contribute £2.5billion more to the economy in taxes than they receive in benefits and state services. As we have reported previously in this notebook, Migrationwatch UK has accused Whitehall of using “entirely false” methodology to back up its claims by failing to take full account of the children of immigrants. If this is done then the so-called surplus becomes a deficit of at least £200m a year.

Migrationwatch statistics have been criticised by liberal-leftists in the past because this independent body is “Right-Wing”. Now the London School of Economics, the home of many liberal-left causes, has come out with a devastating report that immigrants are costing council tax payers at least £200m a year. Note: this does not include central governmental costs, provided from our income tax.

The report is entitled Population Mobility and Services Provision. After comment upon it appeared on the BNP website, including describing it as “a damning indictment of the present lunatic immigration system”, the web editor received a complaint from Ms Jessica Winterstein, Press Officer at the LSE, saying that his report was not correct and it should be taken down. It was not taken down. “The report”, she said, “finds that ‘mobility’ is creating costs to councils as opposed to migrants and immigration”. We know we now live in the world of Orwell’s doublespeak, but by their very nature of arriving on our shores and moving around, just a bit, immigrants do tend to be ‘mobile’. Perhaps if they had one foot nailed down the following problems would not arrive.

Well, so as not to annoy Ms Winterstein and the compilers of the LSE report, it also said that costs for personal translators for these mobility people (were they Scots, Welsh and Gaelic speakers? And those Geordies take some understanding) are costing council tax payers at least a £1000 per year per immigrant. In London, with an estimated official growth of 100,000 mobility people per year, this equates to costs of tens of millions per year out of council taxes just to teach them how to speak English.

Council tax payers are also paying millions of pounds per year in ‘destitution payments’ to illegal mobility people who have just arrived in the country and are unable to claim benefits because of government rules that require them to follow the legal asylum process.

The report also details that schooling for the indigenous children of the UK is suffering and impacting adversely on the education of British children, that unbearable strain is being put on the housing and health systems, that social cohesion is being damaged by the influx of mobility people (they just won’t keep still). It also admits that the council housing systems are in total crisis and that council taxes will have to rise vastly in coming years to cover the costs of the crisis.

This confirms everything that the BNP has been saying about the damaging effects of immigration in general.

Europe Shrinks While Islam and Afro-Asia Explode

The BNP still has supporters who think that our perception of an Islamic threat to Britain and Europe is exaggerated. If I recommend that they should have read an article by Gunnar Heinsohn entitled “Babies Win Wars” and which was published in the Wall Street Journal on March 6 last year, I know they will say “what do you expect from an American global capitalist rag which will make no criticism of Israel”. But just ponder on these extracts.

“Dying nations are usually defined as those with fertility rates of 1.5 or lower. By that measure, 30 European countries are either dying or, like France (and Britain - Editor), seeing their cultures and populations transformed by growing ethnic and religious minorities.

“In 2020 there will be one billion “fighting-age” men (ages 15-29) world-wide; only 65 million will be Europeans. At the same time, the Muslim world will have 300 million males, often with limited opportunities at home.”

Heinsohn then points out it isn’t the first time Europe has found itself tottering on the edge of extinction. Throughout the 1400s, outbreaks of bubonic plague and pressure from conquering Muslim armies reduced Europe’s population to 40 million from 70 million. In 1484 Pope Innocent VIII responded to the crisis by decreeing the death penalty to anyone, including midwives, who hindered women from conceiving. It did the trick, producing fertility rates as high as in Gaza or Nigeria of today. After 1500 and right up to 1914 West European women raised on average about six children.

Starting with Columbus’ second voyage, Europe’s surplus males began the conquest of the world. By 1900 its population had risen to 400 million despite the loss of 80 million who died in Europe’s domestic wars. Another 60-70 million were to die in the two World Wars.

Heinsohn continues: “After 1945 Europe lost every war it fought. Euphemisms such as “emancipation of the colonies” hide the true causes behind this chain of defeats (he overlooks Britain’s defeat of the Communists in Malaya). If Europeans had continued to multiply like in its imperialistic prime, the world would still tremble before their armies. In just 100 years, Muslims have duplicated the tenfold growth that Europe experienced between 1500-1900. In the last century, the Muslim population skyrocketed to 1.4 billion from 140 million.”

Forget all about the Learned Elders of Zion of circa 1880, read and digest the above.
