SS: I thought it was an interesting article as it completely candid about the desire that so many people in the third world have to leave their country — driven not by persecution but by thought of better prospects, the lure of the media portrayal of Western life, and the desire young men have for adventure.

Unmentioned are the demographic drivers. The high fertility rates in countries such as Sudan make life impossible — to maintain stability the governments depend on exporting their surplus population and also depend financially on the remittances the migrants then return.

The Guardian is a left wing paper. They are in favor of open borders and unrestrained immigration while at the same time decrying the consequences of these policies. This article could just as easily be published in Counter Currents.

And yet she still lives in europe and will probably never leave, and as you've said with their unsustainable demographics millions will also want to come to europe, in the end the economic prospects will always outweigh their desire for being in their homeland.

Without a resurgence of nationalism Europe is facing a cataclysm.

Quite apart from the fertility of the immigrants, one only has to look at Sailer's "most important graph" to see that Muslim and African population increase in their home countries is is going to mean tremendous unrest and migration pressure especially now that Europe is only a short boat ride away.

The thing that frustrates me about this correspondent is that having secured a prestigious position in the UK she spends most of her energy dumping on the host nation, castigating the indigenous population, and working tirelessness on the behalf of her co-ethnics

She is clearly able to articulate the problems associated with globalism but her solution is a form of neo-colonialism.

Rather than working to improve Britain, the country must be remade to accommodate her interests. Immigrant activists are behaving in a similar manner in white countries all around the world.

    The solution is closed borders and deportation maybe with a little economic help as you suggest but the problem is that hundreds of millions will want to come to europe in the next decades and if by then our people won't have changed their minds it might get really bad.
