Just more garbage from Clown World about how the problem is too much whiteness and you’re xenophobic if you raise concerns about uncontrolled migration or observe what a disaster multiculturalism has been for our countries. This reminds me of that dreadful Yousaf’s racist rant. There is a reason that the Netherlands and Hungary wish to opt out of the EU migration policies but the EU Commission won’t let them. More countries ( that aren’t governed by Leftard globalists ) need to step up and oppose the Brussels dictatorship;
”The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) has published a report warning of the danger that “whiteness” and “Europeanness” pose to the European Union.
Titled Welcome to Barbieland: European sentiment in the year of wars and elections, the September 25 report discussed how many people have become “visibly disillusioned with the European project” in a way that has surprised those supportive of the bloc.
Rather than citing economic or energy issues faced by the EU, the report blamed, among other things, how “white” the MEPs elected by EU citizens are following the 2024 European Parliament elections in June.
“In most countries, non-white and Muslim people were underrepresented in candidate lists … no more than 20 non-white MEPs were elected this year – less than 3 per cent of the total, and well below the 10 per cent share that racial and ethnic minorities are estimated to account for in the EU population,” the report stated.
“Far-right parties appeared to be on the rise in almost every member state, usually issuing promises to stop immigration or even planning (as the Alternative for Germany, or AfD, did) to expel large swathes of the population,” it claimed.
“Worse still, parts of the European political mainstream (especially among centre-right and liberal parties) certainly appeared to embrace elements of a xenophobic view of the world – as reflected in the EU’s new migration and asylum pact, adopted in April, or in political proposals to send refugees to third countries, both of which raised major human-rights questions.”

If you really want to knock your socks off with this tripe, here’s the original article. Yes, we’re all ‘Islamophobic’ now, because we’re so far right/right so far;
”In much of the region, a sort of ‘immigration panic’ was already present after 2015 – for example, judging by the perception of immigration as one of the most important issues facing the EU at that time in Hungary, Slovakia, and Slovenia. But Islamophobia has usually played a leading role in migration discourse – some countries of the region (notably the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Latvia) feature among the most anti-migrant but also anti-Muslim places in Europe.
Thus, what the region’s xenophobes denounced after October 2023 was not simply Hamas’s attack on Israel – but rather western European multiculturalism and the wisdom of becoming more like these countries. They took aim at pro-Palestine protests held across much of western Europe. For example, one of the leaders of the Czech far-right, Tomio Okamura, claimed that “Germany [was] turning into Germanistan”, in reference to pro-Palestine demonstrations in Berlin.
The public debate in several central and eastern European countries suggests an ‘ethnic’ understanding of Europeanness is broadly accepted – not just among the far-right, but also within the political mainstream. In Lithuania, a respected journalist called solidarity with the Palestinian population an “infantility” that only paves the way for the destruction of Western civilisation.
Undeniably, xenophobic feelings are also present in western Europe, where the “great replacement theory” is in vogue in far-right circles – and where non-white and Muslim inhabitants undeniably face discrimination too. But similar views face more limited public resistance in central and eastern Europe. As a matter of comparison: in Germany, the campaign for the European Parliament election featured huge rallies against racism, and many voters seem to have been motivated by a desire to halt the rise of the far-right. The far-right is present in most western European countries – but so too are major political forces and opinion leaders who stand unequivocally for diversity, tolerance, multiculturalism, inclusiveness, and a ‘civic’ conception of Europeanness. In central and eastern Europe, such voices tend to be fainter. Much of mainstream politics and media are complicit in normalising an ‘ethnic’ understanding of Europeanness.”

Meanwhile, the deluge hitting the Canaries just keeps on coming. And why are there so many Moroccans? Morocco is a safe country so they can’t be passing themselves off as asylum seekers;
”The migratory pressure on the Canary islands is as active as ever. Almost ten boats with more than 450 illegal immigrants have arrived on the islands so far this week. All the entries have been recorded in Lanzarote, which since last Wednesday has been besieged by an unprecedented migratory pressure originating in Morocco and which has left more than 30 boats with almost 1,600 illegal immigrants in its ports .
From Wednesday to Thursday (last week) the ports of Lanzarote began to experience the entry of hundreds of illegal immigrants who admitted to having left from the Moroccan area of Tan-Tan. “Since then they have not stopped arriving and it seems that they are not going to stop. We are overwhelmed,” Civil Guard agents declared.
Agents believe that all illegal immigrants who were trying to access Ceuta “are coming down to use the route to the Canary Islands” , something that has been confirmed through various monitoring of groups on social networks coordinated by traffickers.
In these groups, on WhatsApp and Facebook, there are constant posts about successful arrivals on the island of Lanzarote. Celebratory images, videos of their journeys and even the movements of the Maritime Rescue Service are being shared in real time, a fact that is causing a call effect on this enclave of the Canary Islands archipelago that “is overwhelming the island at all levels.”

Remember Lammy called Trump a neo-Nazi sympathising Sociopath.
And Starmer made the attached post.
I can’t imagine Lammy will be able to remain Foreign Secretary if Trump gets in. Starmer will have enough difficulty getting beyond his own words. How do they think things work?
The word “diplomat” received the meaning it has for a reason. No diplomat can fix what Starmer and Lammy have said.
And this: https://expose-news.com/2024/09/26/david-lammy-claims-his-ancestors-were-slaves-he-lied/

In other words another Scamdemic because Mr Whitty – there was NO pandemic. A pandemic of fake testing but that’s all.
