Hackney Council Appoints a Migrant Champion – “an urban ethnographer, sociologist/academic, community organiser and multimedia artist/visual storyteller”

With a record 230 people (mostly men) crossing the Channel in one small boat this week; water supplies running short; and housing ever-more scarce, you’d think politicians might want to halt new arrivals in the UK and reduce pressure on our infrastructure – never mind preserve our civilisation.

If anything, the opposite is happening, particularly in boroughs taken over by the Greens, which are only too happy to encourage the world to come here. Case in point: the newly Green-led Hackney Council has just announced its first ever Migrant Champion to “ensure migrant needs are represented”.

In a council press release, Hackney introduced Cllr Manal Massalha – “an urban ethnographer, sociologist/academic, community organiser and multimedia artist/visual storyteller” – who will be advocating “for migrant rights locally and nationally” in her role as Migrant Champion.

Massalha’s website sounds suitably unhinged for a Green councillor-cum-Migrant Champion. She describes her “photographic and ethnographic practices” as: “Intersectional and interdisciplinary. Generative and decolonising.” Another section claims: “We’re living in testing, defining times. Times of genocide and rising fascism. Power and impunity. Bigotry and dehumanisation. Militarism and expansionist greed. Misinformation and divisive politics. Intimidation and fear.”

In its press release, Hackney elaborates on Massalha’s practice, which is “people-centred and seeks to amplify the voices and experiences of marginalised communities, refuse dehumanisation and racial hierarchies, and challenge divisive, binary narratives”.

What about marginalised British communities? Those who increasingly cannot access the services and infrastructure they’ve paid into. “Hackney has a longstanding reputation as

Time to start handcuffing illegal immigrants to the councillors. A sort of take one home with you scheme.

In short, the Uk is dying on its feet.

Councils like Hackney will only be stopped if we get a Reform Government which changes the law and makes it illegal for legal migrants to receive benefits and for illegal ones to stay in this country.

They are out of control because the Establishment Parties haven’t wanted to control them. That needs to change.

All part of the plan to replace the general white population with a mongrel race of low IQ inbred non-whites.

The elites of course will remain white and use the mongrel underclass as slaves and entertainment.

So Massalha will not be standing up for the rights and interests of anyone who voted for her. The people she’s interested in are the ones who can’t vote for her because they’re not entitled to. How is that representative democracy?

Shouldn’t we be asking lulu if that’s a “little bit too soon”?

But yes, as my mother used to say “looks like she’s been dragged through a hedge, backwards”

You mean the one who made a mockery of Martin Luther King’s dream. Where he wanted people judged on merit, not the colour of their skin?

Massalha … describes her “photographic and ethnographic practices” as: “Intersectional and interdisciplinary. Generative and decolonising.”

“Intersectionality” is a marxo-fascist framework for promoting anti-whitism. And when the marxo-fascists use the word “decoloinising” they mean the exact opposite.

Not sure an educated mixed race female is representative of the migrants pouring into Hackney.

Very good point. The rule is that left wing non-white people are always representative of all non white people (e.g. Obama) whereas right wing non-white people are Uncle Toms.
