Considering its history....should England have a future? As Einstein said in 1947 "Einstein wrote in 1947, “I saw how excessive nationalism can spread like a disease, bringing tragedy to millions.”. Its him you need to be platforming, not Enoch Powell.
England as you know it was built on multiculturalism. Immigrants helped rebuild the country after World War 2. Our culture often pulls the best bits from other cultures and assimilates them into our own. Immigration is key for growth. Any society that refuses to evolve and adapt because of 'tradition' is doomed to fail, I am unsure how progressive views could ever be seen as a bad thing.
1. Immigration is unnecessary to any developed economy unless that economy has: a) resources that otherwise cannot be exploited by the native population b) the state capacity both public and private to exploit said resources c) the space into which the immigrant can expand Britain in particular has none of these attributes. Never did to the extent immigration was required. (Ireland too). 2. Had Britain maintained an homogeneous population of circa 40-50 max after WW2, Britain on its natural trajectory, absent certain destructive ideologies and policies of both left and right, would by now have been be per capita GDP wealthier than Switzerland or more accurately, Norway (several internal global bank studies confirm this). 3. Immigrants did not in any sense build Britain after WW2. That is merely a recent leftist narrative which stretches two particular instances (Irish and Italians in construction) into an all encompassing leftist trope. Example: To this day immigrants under-index as employees of the NHS (but over-jndex as users of it. See OBR). The NHS was never under-staffed until immigration pushed its limits in the 1970s. 4. The economic acid test: If immigration on the scale or even 10% of what we have experienced were a good thing, Britain would not be £2.8trillion in debt and running at circa £150bn loss each year. 5. What Mr. Tombs was deftly skirting around is that the immigrants we see pouring in are incapable of even maintaining the current state of Britain, failing though it is, let alone building it. 6. Immigration crowds out native family formation as natives see resources competed for by, and in recent decades redirected toward the immigrant. Result; declining native birth rates. Other factors such as liberalism in general and “progressive” degeneracy imposed on society are factors too.
You clearly don't understand reality. What you are saying is that you are happy with the UK and Europe being transformed into "America". That's fine. You lose your cultural identity and become part of a marketplace. Fine if that's what you want. The UK has lost its identity at the same time as it has sold off its economic assets and replaced its real economy with a money economy. You choose to live in a hotel, that's fine. But don't pretend it's a real culture or society.
@@phwbooth None. He's talking out of his butthole. However, England was built on the mix of 4 ancient cultures: the Celtic, the Anglo-Saxon, and the Northern French and the Latinate.

What evidence is there for your assertion in the first sentence?
