It almost feels like flogging a dead horse when writing about the migrant crisis. Such is the extent that we’ve covered the topic. But such a problem warrants continual attention, especially when we get headlines like the above.
Surprisingly, it’s the BBC who have broken this story, who are usually less than candid on the severity of the issue, especially the numbers of migrants flooding our shores. Ordinarily, one would have to rely on independent reporters and researchers to get an accurate understanding of the sheer volume of those crossing our borders.
Not this time, however. Specifically, the BBC reported that 292 migrants crossed the channel on Friday, 15th December. That is an obscene amount, but it probably won’t come as a surprise to those who have been following the issue and have done their research. They also concede that so far this year, 29,382 people have made the journey in small boats and dinghies. Of course, this is only those that we know of, and the figure is likely higher.
So, why is there sudden transparency from the BBC? Is it a change of heart, and are they ready to acknowledge that the situation is out of control?
Well, we get our answer when we dig a little deeper into the article. It transpires that on that Friday, one unfortunate migrant lost their life, and another was seriously injured when their dinghy deflated off the French coast. In the next paragraph, they regurgitate the fact that six more lost their lives back in August.
So, it all becomes clear. This is nothing more than propaganda from the BBC or emotional blackmail if you will. You see, the big dilemma that the BBC and their ilk have been facing over the past couple of years is that they desperately want to brush the statistics under the carpet. They need to do this because they fear the backlash that would ensue if the public ever grasped the severity of what’s going on: that thousands of unvetted men of fighting age are being allowed through the back door and left to their own devices while we, the taxpayers, pick up the bill.
The British public isn’t stupid, however. People are starting to notice that something is amiss, thanks in large part to the many small towns and villages up and down the country that have, essentially, been used as dumping grounds for the migrants.
Remember that figure 292. That is equivalent to the population of a very small village or hamlet. It would take a blind person, quite literally, to not notice the sudden change of demographics in their small community.
The cat is out of the bag, but the show must go on, and this means that the propaganda machines are in damage control mode. If they can no longer hide it, they have to resort to plan B: mutate our anger into sympathy. If they can frame the migrants’ plight into one of tragedy, as opposed to economic gain, they can placate the British people back into being docile underlings, unwittingly and meekly accepting their fate of becoming second-class citizens.
The government doesn’t care about the well-being of the migrants and, by extension, neither does the BBC. If they did, they would do everything in their power to deter them from making the treacherous journey over here. Instead, they do nothing; sit back and let events unfold. As far as they’re concerned, any migrant deaths are collateral damage that can be used as ammunition against us.
It seems that the only people who do care are the nationalists. We don’t want lives needlessly lost at sea, and we don’t want our country burdened with issues that don’t concern us. As the old saying goes, charity starts at home. Let’s take care of our own poverty-stricken before we have delusions of global philanthropy.
