No longer "racist" to oppose immigration in Britain

I have always liked George Carey. He is a sincere man. He even believes in God, which is rare among Anglican bishops.
"Lord Carey of Clifton has proved himself to be a brave man today. The former Archbishop of Canterbury has signed a statement by the cross-party group on balanced migration which declares that “70 million is too many”. In other words, he is calling for urgent measures to limit immigration so the British population does not reach that figure in 2029, which is what will happen unless we tighten our borders...

None of his fellow bishops has signed the document, which says:

We are gravely concerned about the rapid increase in the population of England that is now forecast. We note that the official projections show the population of the UK will increase from 61.4 million in 2008 to exceed 70 million by 2029. Over the next 25 years the population will increase by 10 million, nearly all of the increase being in England. 70% – 7 million – will be due to immigration. We believe that immigration on such a scale will have a significant impact on our public services, our quality of life and on the nature of our society.

Carey, like many of the other signatories, has a long track record of fighting racism. And that is precisely why he has signed this document: because he believes that unchecked immigration will hand votes to the Far Right....

Anyway, the point is that never again will Anglican clerics be able to say that calling for urgent measures to call immigration is racist by definition, because they’ll be calling the Rt Rev and Rt Hon Lord Carey a racist. Which he most certainly is not.

There's nothing more pleasurable than seeing liberals come face to face with reality. It seems these socialist and semi-socialist countries (ie: UK, US, etc.) are all the same. They ignor their borders, have insanely liberal immigration policies, cater to and support illegal immigrants, then whine when their countries are being over-run. I wonder how Mr. Carey plans on getting rid of all those radical muslims in Britain, now that they've found a new home (see: base of operations) there.

A Belgian friend of mine lived in England, he told me part of the chalenge of finding work there is dealing with thousands of educated immmigrants from eastern Europe willing to work for nothing. That's not going to stop unless England withdraws from the European Union.

So long as England is controlled by a socialist government, as it now is, nothing will change, unless of course, the people wake up. That often does happen, but usually when it's too late. I wonder how the queen is going to look wearing a burka. (LOL)

Queen Elizabeth has at least 17 other countries she is queen of to go to if she doesn't like to live Britain.
