An extract from the book they don’t want you to read - Suicide of a Nation ————— There are moments in the life of a nation when everything changes − not with a bang, not even with a conscious decision, but with a quiet, creeping loss of confidence so profound that a people start to forget who they are. Britain, I believe, is living through such a moment. The institutions that once embodied our nation − Parliament, the civil ­service, the courts, the police, the BBC, ­universities, schools, corporate executives, the Church, museums − have drifted away from the public they exist to serve. Our country is now in the grip of a new ruling class which sees itself not as ­custodians of a ­living nation but as supervisors of a global ­project that has no borders, no limits and no loyalty to the people whose taxes fund their salaries. It is a belief that moral worth is measured not by defending your country but by demonstrating infinite generosity to the rest of the world, even when this threatens the survival of your own nation. Within just one generation, because of the trends I set out in this book, Britain will no longer be Britain. England will no longer be England. The country that our ancestors built will be replaced by something else. Britain is not being conquered or invaded. Worse: it is being abandoned by the leaders who were meant to protect it. As the historian and philosopher Arnold J. Toynbee once said: ‘Civilisations die from suicide, not by murder.’ Across Britain – in cities, towns, villages and suburbs − many people are now experiencing the same private, unspoken sense of shock. You walk down a street you once knew but no longer recognise. You visit the place where you were born yet feel like a stranger. You hear languages that are not your own. You see customs and cultures you do not share. The country of your childhood seems to exist only in old films, documentaries, ­fading books and nostalgia reels on social media. What is a nation? It is a community bound by a shared identity, history, culture and way of life. It is filled with your relatives, ancestors and neighbours, who you know and trust, and whose graves, stories and memories lie around you. Yet a survey last year by pollsters More In Common found that nearly half of Britons now feel ‘like a stranger in my own country’. Significantly, many people from minority backgrounds experience this profound sense of loss just as strongly as their white British counterparts. Yet whenever anyone articulates this creeping sense of dispossession, they are shamed, silenced or mocked by the elites who are imposing these changes on them. What we are witnessing is not just a small adjustment, a temporary shift, or the gentle evolution of a nation. It is something far more dramatic and potentially permanent. It is the deliberate and sustained transformation of our country. Nations do not remain the same if the people who shaped them, built them and embody them collapse into minority status. But this is what is happening. According to my analysis, which I set out in the book, by the year 2100, the share of Britain’s population made up of White Britons (roughly 95 per cent of the country in the 1990s) will collapse to just 33 per cent. The proportion of people who are foreign-born or the immediate descendants of the foreign-born will rise from 19 per cent to more than 60 per cent. Muslims will go from representing about one in every 17 people to one in every four – and one in every three among the young. This will all happen within the lifetime of a child born today – in the next 74 years. The ethnic and cultural core of a nation is what holds it in place, like an anchor. It is what provides us with a sense of shared identity, culture, history, collective memory, and way of life. But once this anchor gives way, there is nothing to hold the nation in place. waterstones.com/book/suicide-o…

@Gypsypup13 I used to work security in a Morrisons. The problem is even if you catch and detain a shoplifter the police won’t come out and make an arrest. Unless it’s a really large haul (I’m talking more than £200 of goods).

Would a points system work to reduce shoplifting? Get caught 3 times and its immediately 12 weeks inside. Straight in front of a magistrate and off to jail. Or am I being very naive

@ScottishBevan I really had to just Google what that was.

Anthropology should be a mandatory course in school.

And if we don't tackle the issue properly then we leave it to racists in Reform to deal with the problem, who will be MUCH harsher. She's actually got the "balls" to take action to prevent Reform having ownership of it. At least that's how I see it.

New: Red Wall MPs urge govt to stick to migration reforms The chair of the party's Red Wall Caucus has told @politicshome that Labour will "never rebuild trust" in constituencies in her part of the country until it is seen as having tackled the issue W/ @harriet_symonds

Baroness Kennedy should have the whip removed. To suggest Shabana Mahmood’s race should have any bearing on her policy positions is dreadful.

I don’t understand this. One of the governments few popular policies being watered down in an effort to appease people who won’t be happy regardless.

I’ve done this many times. Will be in April. It’s nice to be in charge of your own itinerary.

Reporter: If you could say something to Trump, what would it be? PA voter: You’re a worthless pile of sh*t. Reporter: How many times did you vote for him? PA voter: 3 times. That was my bad. Apparently I’m an idiot.

Nationalise Cadbury

Pat gets it.

The sad thing is my Lib Dem friends…he’s still the best you’ve got.

Any evidence to back this up Ayoub? You’re a barrister I thought you’d realise that’s important.

@itsgeorge05 Ego I think.

And just like that, some white guy in Idaho’s day is ruined.
