'Immigration threat to Britain as single nation'
Immigration may be threatening Britain's status as a country, it has been claimed.
A pamphlet by social policy think-tank Civitas said the UK may already have reached a "tipping point" where it can no longer be regarded as a single nation.
David Conway, the author, said that if Britain has become a "nation of immigrants" it could lead to political disintegration.
The 100-page booklet said: "Those for whom this country has been a model of tolerance and freedom cannot but have cause for deep concern about the seemingly reckless pace and scale on which immigration has recently been allowed to proceed."
"As a result of it, the country may possibly have reached a tipping point beyond which it can no longer be said to contain a single nation. Should that point have been reached, then, ironically in the course of Britain having become a nation of immigrants, it would have ceased to be a nation."
"Once such a point is reached, political disintegration may be predicted to be not long in following."
Mr Conway, a senior research fellow at Civitas, disputed a claim made by the Commission for Racial Equality in 1996 that "everyone who lives in Britain today is either an immigrant to the descendant of an immigrant".
The author said: "The view that Britain is a nation of immigrants suggests Britain has always experienced immigration on its present-day scale, which is not the case."
David Davis, the shadow home secretary, said: "This report suggests that the Government's inability to get a grip on immigration or put a limit on numbers entering the UK is destabilising British society. We know that unchecked immigration is putting pressure on housing and local services. Now this report shows that its effects are potentially even more serious."

HMG Wakes Up Too Late to the Dangers of its Mismanaged Migration Policy
So, there we have it, at last, a final admission by no less than the Labour Minister responsible for immigration, Liam Byrne, that the large-scale volume of net immigration his party has deliberately engineered with such machismo these last ten years has 'damaged the poorest communities and deeply unsettled the country’, to use the words employed by the Times yesterday in its account of what he has admitted.
The admission comes in a collection of essays published yesterday by the centre-left think-tank Policy Network entitled ‘Rethinking Immigration and Integration'.
...
We are at the end of the present administration, of that that there can be no doubt. It remains to be seen whether what follows will be any better or very much worse. Either way, the damage that has been inflicted upon social cohesion by the government's ill-conceived approach towards immigration will take a long time to heal, if indeed it ever will recover from the assault it has suffered these last ten years.
I cannot find a link to the pamphlet that is mentioned in the first article...
Ohhh and one more thing:
SOUND FAMILIAR AMERICA?!? OUR 'INTELLIGENSTIA' IS ENGAGING IN THAT SAME PRACTICE WITH ALLOWING UNCONTROLL ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION (MAJORITY OF WHICH IS MEXICAN) !?!?!?!?
