Past Quotes 2000
"Whites will be an ethnic minority in Britain by the end of the century. Analysis of official figures indicate that, at current fertility rates and levels of immigration, there will be more non-whites than whites by 2100..."
--Anthony Browne, The Observer, 3 September 2000
"According to Glen Smyth, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, the carnival's crime figures were deliberately played down for political reasons. So it was that this year's carnival was hailed as comparatively peaceful - despite its two murders, 19 stabbings, 69 casualties and 129 arrests. Nobody in authority dared to draw politically incorrect comparisons with the great Countryside March, which passed without disturbance of any sort."
--The Daily Telegraph, 1 September 2000
"There was one murder, five stabbings, 108 arrests and 276 reported crimes at the Notting Hill Carnival.
"There were 7,500 police officers on duty, 60 assaults and 94 people were taken to hospital, where one man remains in a critical condition.
"Yesterday morning the streets were a digusting mess of discarded cartoons, beer cans, broken glass, upturned litter bins and the stench of urine was everywhere.
"Shop owners in Kensington Church Street arrived to find their ddorways looking like rubbish tips.
"Predictably the official police statement was: 'Overall, the carnival was a happpy, peaceful occasion.' No one is ever going to speak the truth, which is that the carnival costs a fortune, many of the crowd behave like thugs, the streets are desecrated and no one in authority gives a damn for the unfortunate local residents.
"A blind eye is turned to crime and the whole event has become a dangerous nightmare."
--Lynda Lee-Potter, Daily Mail, 30 August 2000
"The fact that we have so many doctors from overseas, when our medical schools are turning away large numbers of good quality candidates from indigenous sources owes a great deal to succesive governments' policies of keeping down employment costs (the same can be said of the nursing profession) by importing low cost labour."
--John Holden, Daily Telegraph, 29 August 2000
"During the last quarter, the 'institutional racism' bandwagon rolled on, with ever more swingeing denunciations of well-meaning insitutions. The Crown Prosecution Service, the National Health Service pay section and the shiverity all came under fire from the extremist paranoiacs who suspect ethnic plots everywhere, and whose role model is the Whichfinder-General, Matthew Hopkins. In a pleasing development which may alert even some Labour MPs to the insatiable nature of the PC beast, even the Parliamentary Labour Party was accused of being racist.
"This extravaganza of guilt and national masochism culminated in the extraordinary self-flagellation of Detective-Inspector John Grieve of the Racial Crime Squad, published in the Daily Telegraph in May. This article started 'I am a racist. I know I am because the Home Secretary told me so' - as if Jack Straw ever said anything worth hearing - and led many people to think that the article was a rather good joke, along the lines of Ern Malley's 'poetry'.
"Unfortunately, it was not. Inspector Grieve is all too sincere. His breast-baring is just a dramatic example of the new confessional politics, in which commonsense is subsumed in political commitment. He is only too typical of the politicised, political appointee who is taking over at the helms of many of our institutions. Institutional racism seems to be getting replaced with institutional idiocy"
--Right Now, July - September 2000
"As was widely predicted by all right-thinking people, ever since the widely-discredited MacPherson report into the death of Stephen Lawerence, the Metropolitan Police have been inhibited from stopping and questioning young black youths, and this has inevitably led to a sharp increase in street crime in London. When a black person is stopped he almost invariably complains that the police have only stopped him 'because I'm black'. The notion that 'racial profiling' might be taking place is firmly denied by the police - but why? Most people instinctively believe that blacks are disproportionately engaged in street crimes - where do you imagine more muggings take place: Bexley or Brixton? - so it is logical that if you wish to reduce street crime you target the criminals. If this means stopping young black males rather than white female pensioners, then that surely is the right thing to do."
--George Warwick, Right Now, July - September 2000
"Having read the disturbing story of Ashley Pittman's near escape from a conviction for a so-called "rape", may I ask why, in an age that supports equality between the sexes, we can have this young man's name and photograph plastered over the newspapers, while the name and photograph of his false accuser is not released?
"Surely she is the one who should be pillored for her spiteful attempt to blacken Mr Pittman's name for something that only took place in her imagination, so that other young men can give her a wide berth"
--Heather Causnett, The Daily Telegraph, 1 August 2000
"Funny old thing, our justice system. Shoot a burglar and you get at least nine years. Blow people to bits and you are out in no time"
--H Cunningham, The Mirror, 1 August 2000
"...On the release of terrorist prisoners from Northern Ireland, the obvious question to ask those who speak of "political prisoners" is whether they regard David Copeland, the Brixton bomber, as a political prisoner, too.
"After all, he, the IRA and loyalist groups have all planted bombs in crowded streets, in furtherance of their political aims.
"A week before Copeland, I was treated to the nauseating spectacle of Ken Livingstone calling for tougher action against people who planted bombs in the streets of London.
"Unfortunately, his words didn't choke him"
--Peter Davey, The Daily Telegraph, 27 July 2000
"Britain's armed forces are trimed down to the bone. With constant cheeseparing 'economies' by a government that is anti-military by instinct and refuses to fight for British interests, our forces are short of men, of weapons, of ammunition, of maintenance and of training.
"Yet in this perilous situation the government deems it appropriate to send British troops to - of all places - Sierra Leone! And it now looks as if they're going to be kept there!
"As long as it was necessary to evacuate British nationals from the danger zones in the civil war in that country, there was some point in their presence there. But it's long past the time for their withdrawl. So why are they staying?
"This question is particularly urgent at a time when there is another part the world where our forces are badly needed. In 'Zimbabwe' (formerly Rhodesia) white farmers are having their property raided and occupied and are becoming the victims of savage beatings, murder and rape. And these criminal acts have the blessing of the boss of the country, Robert Mugabe!
"There are nearly 80,000 white people in Rhodesia, most of whom are of British descent and many of whom were born in Britain. Yet the Blair Government does not seem disposed to lift a finger to help them.
"Britian should pull her service personnel out of sierra Leone - and former Yugoslavia - and everywhere else where neither British people nor British interests are threatened - and we should ditch them forthwith to 'Zimbabwe' to sort out Mugabe and rescue our own people from the horrors he's inflicting on them!"
--Spearhead, No. 376, June 2000.
"The Murder of Stephen Lawerence may have been an act of unconscious retaliation. Relataliation for the numberless insults and igdignities and atrocities which have been visited on the white population of south London over the last thirty years by the Afro-Caribbean underclass."
"...the indigenous working class of inner London are an oppressed minority. They are oppressed by having been turned into strangers in their own country in little more than a generation. They are oppressed by massive levels of AfroCaribbean violence and criminality. They are oppressed by schools which don't teach their children anything, except to be ashamed of their own history and heritage. They are oppressed by a hedgemonic official mentality, promulgated in the schools and the townhalls, which preaches uncritical admiration, of all culturals and ethnicities, except theirs. They are oppressed by the fact that it is impossible to complain openly about any of these things, for fear of being called 'racists'."
"The black British underclass underclass may not be as large or as heavily armed as its American counterpart, but it is every bit as dangerous and vicious, and it displays most of the same range of social pathologies. And now, courtesy of Lord Macpherson, its members have virtual immunity from arerest. And they know it, and they are running amok."
--J F Cronin, Right Now, April - June 2000.
"If the Labour party paid a proper fee for the public relations services it receives from the BBC, it should be possible to reduce the annual licence fee, if not abolish it altogether."
--David Fiford, The Daily Telegraph, 16 May 2000.
"Street crime has increased in London, while 'stop and searches' have fallen amid accusations that the tactic was used disproportionately against black people.
"The Met's analysis of descriptions offered by victims of street crime in 1998-99 suggested that 60 per cent of offenders were non-white..."
--John Steele, The Daily Telegraph, 15 May 2000.
"It is a fact that there are more paedophiles among gay men than among the overall male community. That is surely an unacceptable risk to children."
--Valerie Riches, Family and Youth Concern, 24 April 2000.
"Last year, more new cases of HIV were diagnosed in Lambeth Southwark and Lewisham than any other health authority in the country. Almost 40 per cent of the new cases were among heterosexuals and more than half were in ethnic minority groups. Many of the HIV infections in heterosexuals were probably picked up in Africa before people moved to London. "
--Zoe Morris, London Evening Standard, 11 April 2000.
"Rape is a vile and degrading offence. But the suggestion in your report today, that men who are accused of rape and claim that the complainant consented should have to prove their innocence, is most worrying for anybody concerned with basic human rights. Quite apart from whether such a change in the burden of proof is compatible with the Government's obligations under the Human Rights Act, such a change will inevitably lead to wrongful convictions resulting in innocent men having to serve long terms of imprisonment."
--Mr Robert Rhodes, QC, The Times, 8 April 2000.
"As non-whites increasingly invade the country through immigration and the racial balance runs against whites, we will see an increasing level of interracial violence directed against whites, an increasing level of discrimination and outright persecution of whites for any challenge or resistance to non-white domination, and an increasing level of barbarization of our culture as immigrant and indigenous non-whites challenge and replace white civilization."
--Dr Samuel Taylor, American Renaissance Conference.
"...When this Government came to power there were just 26,000
asylum seekers, now there are 100,000 - and they are just the figures the Government is
prepared to own up to.
"They don't include the thousands of others who've got here by plane or boat or train
and are now living in four-bedroom houses courtesy of Muggins Britain. What's even
more galling is that large numbers of these asylum seekers come from perfectly nice
democratic countries where there is no conflict, no persecution but, more tellingly, no
benefit system.
"A reporter friend rang this week to say he'd arrived in some Romanian village where
the locals could speak no English save for phrases like,"Lovely England - free
houses, nice food, good clothes".
"Yes, lovely England, where beggars live rent-free in four- bedroomed houses while
those of us who work for a living have to huddle up in what we can afford."
--Carole Malone,. The Sunday Mirror, 19 March 2000.
"THE BRITISH Government is on 'standby' to offer more assistance. £2.2 million of taxpayers money has already been sent.
"On the same day I read this, I read that Dr Peter Wilde, director of cardiothoracic services at Bristol Royal Infirmary, claims that as many as ten patients could have died in the past six months because they had to wait too long for heart operations. He blamed 'lack of resources'.
I find it hard to understand that when British people are dying because of a lack of funding in the NHS, the Government can find more than £2 million to send abroad. We should help our own people first and only then should taxpayers' money should go abroad."
--Brendan Murphy, The Daily Mail, 2nd March 2000.
"The Executive, contrary to all current political and media hype, is a shotgun marriage, with the hand of the IRA ever on the trigger.
"The moment Britain's sell-out of Ulster appears to be falling behind schedule, the murders will begin again leading to yet more concessions."
--John Tyndall, Spearhead, No. 371, January 2000.
"Well done to Brigadier Lawless for his stand on ‘gays’ in the Forces.
"For once someone in authority has the guts to stand up for the majority.
"The Blair dictatorship’s obsession with homosexuals takes no account of the practical issues involved.
"Service personnel often work in cramped and dangerous conditions, which can involve bedding down together. Absolute trust is essential.
"The old forces maxim of ‘watch your back’ will take on a whole new meaning to troops in the field."
--M Walker, The Sun, 2nd February 2000
"When the late Enoch Powell spoke against Britain’s immigration, policy most of us called him a racist.
"But comparing the situation now, with ‘asylum-seekers’ costing us millions of pounds to keep and the vast majority bogus, it makes you think he had a point."
--A Komer, The Sun, 1st February 2000
"If this government was to get back the third world debt that is owed to this country then we could supply our NHS with intensive care beds instead of paying £900 per night to a private hospital.
"The debt owed is British tax-payers money so it should be used to look after our own people"
--Alan Shirt, The News of the World, 16th January 2000.
"A few days into the new Millennium, and already one man has been shot and three men savagely beaten by those terrorists that the Secretary of State and other politicians living in woolly-jumper land tell us are on ceasefire."
"Yet the terrorists have not had it al their own way. Angelo Fusco, a member of the IRA's M60 gang, which murdered SAS Captain Westmacott in the 1980's, has been arrested by the Gardai and may be returned to Northern Ireland. Fusco has been living openly in the republic for the past 18 months. The problem with returning him to Northern Ireland to serve his life sentence for the murder of a British soldier is that he will be released in less time than someone convicted for non-payment of a £1,000 fine."
--Both by Vincent McKenna, Director, NIHRB, The Daily Telegraph, 6th January 2000.
"After hearing about the delays in the opening of the Millennium Eye and the confusion surrounding the delivery of tickets for the launch of the Dome, I think the organisers must be training to become politicians.
"They keep moving the goalposts, believe their own publicity and most importantly, are never wrong. It is always everyone else's fault.
"Maybe they should go into the European Parliament. Think of all the money that can be wasted and all the empty promises that can be made there..."
--Gerry Mainwaring, The Sun, 3rd January 2000.
