Appeal To The Young Londoner
Young, white and being a Londoner is getting to be a dangerous combination these days. Amazingly, the majority of young people are still indigenous British of European descent. However, the current growth of London’s ethnic minority groups will mean that this situation will not continue for much longer. In 2026 it is predicted that the UK population will be 50 percent immigrant and London’s population will be overwhelmingly made up of immigrants. These are however only predictions based on current trends. We do not have to except this as fate. One way of ensuring that this does not happen is to increase racial awareness within the young white population and strengthen our identity.
Growing up in our great city is far from easy or safe; it’s full of risk. One in four young Londoners have or are carrying some type of weapon which can be lethal. The main reason for carrying such weapons is for ‘protection’, young people just don’t feel safe. Young Londoners are then increasingly dying as a result of shootings and stabbings. Many more are horrifically injured and scarred for life. Young people look to gang culture as a means of protection and belonging. It’s here they are easy prey for drugs and a life of crime.
It’s not just on the streets that our young people are targeted or suffer. Our schools and other places of learning are increasingly less safe havens for young people. There British history and identity along with Christian values are targeted and trashed. Curriculum’s now include Black History month and Britain’s involvement in the Slave trade. There’s no denying Britain played a part in Slavery but the history text books young people read won’t include key facts like it was a small minority of merchants and businessmen who were responsible for slave trading and who profited. Or the fact that the British were the ones who stopped the Atlantic slave trade altogether. Nor will they mention that slavery was an Arab custom introduced from the east and still exists in many parts in the world where the white man has departed from. No slavery is taught in the context of the British Empire and it is used to denigrate our Imperial past, our heritage and culture. Similarily, primary school children are sent to mosques and Hindu temples, not to Churches of Cathedrals. They are not taught about a Christian Identity to respect and look up to. They are forced to learn about other cultures and religions that have no intention of respecting our British culture and way of life.
Is it any wonder that getting out of London or Britain altogether is on the mind of so many of our young people? We are increasingly made to feel like 2nd class citizens within our own city. One we leave education job opportunities are diminished by off shoring and political correctness and quotas. One prime example is the long waiting lists for the police forces for young white people. Everyone knows a person of an ethnic minority background may encounter no such waiting list. It’s not just within the police force that we may encounter bias or discrimination. It can also be found within the wider public and private sectors. Labour has forced bodies to take candidates for employment from ehtnic minority backgrounds even if the white British candidate is better educated and qualified. This is the life of a young white person growing up in London no matter what background. It’s hard to imagine what life will be like in the coming decades if things carry on like this.
However, we must not fall to fatalisism it is never too late and we must fight for our birthright. We need to educate ourselves and then other young people that our history and culture in London and Britain is not lost or forgotten and is something to be proud of. Our identity is strong and we must fight for it and protect it. Maybe in turn this pride in our British Identity will give young people a beeter sense of well being and act to deter the young from joining gangs and celebrating other cultures, drugs and crime. Let’s turn our ambitions into diplomas and degrees rather than ASBO’s and criminal records.
