Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has expressed her frustrations as home secretary.
Now freed from the restrictions of high office, Braverman reveals that she has been fighting a series of behind-the-scenes battles on key policies since her appointment last year – and not only those directly relating to the work of the Home Office. She has been at the forefront of arguments to take the strictest approach to extremism – and connects her concerns about what she terms “hate marches” in London relating to the Israel-Hamas conflict to her insistence on the need to tackle rising levels of migration.
The former home secretary refers back to a controversial speech in September to highlight the anti-Semitic slogans that have emerged during pro-Palestine protests in central London as “a reflection of the failure of multiculturalism”.
In a scathing if slightly hypercritical swipe at Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Braverman said, “Ultimately, he’s not stopped the boats. He made the promise at the beginning of the year. He’s not fulfilled the promise. I want him to fulfil the promise. We are not there yet, and I want him to do whatever it takes. He said he will do whatever it takes. He needs to prove it now.”
Suella isn’t the first senior Tory to come out and make this statement about multiculturalism; David Cameron, the new Foreign Secretary, made the same statement several years ago, yet here we are, 13 years into Tory rule, and things have got worse instead of better. At least Braverman appears to care about this, whereas Cameron, Sunak and the other head boys pay lip service to the problem but are pretty happy for the rot to continue.
We all know that the Tories don’t want immigration to be cut; if they wanted to, they could do it they don’t want to. In the last week or so, we have seen them overrule the Scottish Parliament gender reform bill amendments and practically put the south of England into lockdown when it comes to finding a suspected terrorist who had escaped prison a few months back.
Despite the strong rhetoric from both parties regarding the declining standard of living within the UK, the increasing number of ‘regular’ and ‘irregular’ immigrants, along with the rise in tensions between the numerous ethnic and religious groups now residing in the UK, leaves the question unanswered: who or what has been failed by multiculturalism? The English, Scottish, and Welsh people are the ones whom this social engineering has let down. Let’s be honest: it has been catastrophic for our cultures and nations, and it now threatens our entire way of life.
Many have and do benefit from pluralism in the form of multiculturalism. Corporate interests have also reaped significant rewards from open borders, not just regarding the movement of people but also goods. Seasonal workers from poorer nations are exploited in the manufacturing and farming industries. Meanwhile, medium- and small-sized companies are employing an endless stream of immigrants, driving down the value of British labour and increasing the cost of living. As a result, buying or renting a home has become more expensive, which benefits the money men based in the City of London while they have domiciled abroad for tax purposes, of course.
The issue is that liberalism has grown unchecked, which was always possible. It is no longer restrained. The solution is for the people of England, Scotland, and Wales to reaffirm their undeniable right to self-determination and declare that the current system of governance is flawed, corrupted, and no longer suitable for the nation’s overall well-being, but only for the privileged and protected classes. We must promise a unified homeland linked by ancestry and tradition, safeguarded, and passed down to future generations.
When you come across the phrase “multiculturalism has failed” and no action is taken, it’s crucial to remember that it has failed only you and your loved ones. On the other hand, those who have used it to weaken our country’s sovereignty and self-determination and threaten our very existence have found it to be a great success.
