As Europe celebrates another Christmas season, the shadow of tragedy once again looms over traditional festivities. The recent attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, carried out by a Saudi-born asylum seeker, is a grim reminder of a recurring pattern. This follows a series of similar incidents, such as the 2016 attack in Berlin by a Tunisian migrant and the horrifying events in Solingen earlier this year, where a Syrian Islamist killed three and injured eight at a "Festival of Diversity." Once-innocent events are now marked by heightened security, with barriers cynically referred to as “diversity bollards.”  

 

Despite these events, much of the Western political and media class continues to deny a connection between uncontrolled mass migration and the rise in crimes, including terrorism. They rightly point out that not all migrants are criminals or extremists, but this argument sidesteps the broader societal consequences of large-scale immigration. As I warned in my book *The Strange Death of Europe*, published nearly a decade ago, importing people from around the world inevitably brings the challenges of their regions with them.  

 

For centuries, European societies were remarkably culturally and ethnically homogenous. The current wave of mass migration represents a dramatic departure from that history, with profound consequences. While some governments, such as Denmark and more recently Sweden, have begun to tighten migration policies, many others have accelerated the process. The United Kingdom is a prime example, where annual migration figures released last month show that 1.1 million foreign nationals have been added to the population every year since 2021.  

 

These figures reveal a stark shift: only 10% of the arrivals are EU nationals, while the majority come from countries like India, Nigeria, Pakistan, China, and Zimbabwe. Contrary to optimistic assumptions, most of these migrants are unlikely to contribute more in taxes than they take in public services, exacerbating pressures on housing, healthcare, and other resources.  

 

Beyond economics, the cultural implications are equally concerning. If the migration trend were reversed — say, with 100,000 British citizens moving to Pakistan annually — it would likely be labeled as “colonization.” Yet, in Britain, large-scale migration is celebrated as “diversity,” even as it transforms communities into new forms of homogeneity that are markedly different from their historical character.  

 

This trajectory represents a profound betrayal of the public’s trust. The Labour government under Tony Blair initiated policies in 1997 that significantly increased immigration. Subsequent Conservative governments promised to reverse this trend, including a pledge to reduce net migration to pre-Blair levels. The 2016 Brexit vote was driven in large part by a desire to “take back control” of the UK’s borders.  

 

Yet, under successive prime ministers — Theresa May, Boris Johnson, and Rishi Sunak — these promises have not been fulfilled. Instead, immigration has surged, fueled by loopholes such as bogus student visas and policies encouraging low-paid workers and their dependents. While EU migration has decreased, non-EU migration has soared, comprising 80% of total arrivals.  

 

The consequences of this unchecked migration extend far beyond terrorist acts or rising crime rates. They strike at the heart of national identity and cohesion. If governments fail to deter illegal immigration, address the challenges of integration, and consider repatriation for those who have no legal right to remain, the concept of a unified nation becomes increasingly tenuous.  

 

I, along with others, have long warned of these outcomes. Yet the political class has largely ignored these warnings, leaving their electorates disillusioned and their countries fundamentally changed. There is little solace in being proven right when the consequences are so grave, and the necessary actions remain so elusive.

Murray is a legend. An incredibly intelligent man. 

 

I suggest everyone read his book The Strange Death of Europe. It is uncanny how accurate his predictions have proved to be, in such a short space of time. 

We are living the reunification of the human species. A 1000-year project.

 

Nothing can stop it - for cultural, economic, technological and above all demographic reasons.

 

Hang in there. Get used to it. Enjoy it while you can.

Murray is smart enough to know precisely what he is doing as he plays to gallery and lends his name in support of  islamaophobia and any other phobia that gets the cheep seats jeering.

…’They rightly point out that not all migrants are criminals or extremists’ … but they are all  potential criminals or extremists or terrorists as we are seeing so it is much better to not let any of them in as just one criminal or extremist or terrorist amongst them is one too many…

During the War the British public and Allied troops regularly tuned into the anti-British propaganda broadcasts of William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw) for the comedic value - we have similar propagandists spouting anti-British nonsense on Aseannow😄

Trust you to try and smear such a well informed, intelligent communicator as Douglas Murray. There is no such thing as the made up Islamophobia, anyone who can see what is going on in the world should be at least concerned about Islam. It's not a phobia to expose the intolerance, terror attacks, misogyny and hatred of gays inherent in the religion, or to expose the dreadful life of the so called prophet, himself an abuser of children and self confessed terrorist.

You haven't read the book then? 😆

As the UK government dilutes British culture by allowing excessive immigration, removes cultural identity, allows two tier policing, allows wokeness to overtake everything, and the jailing of people for what they deem "upsetting words", they are also removing pride in the country.

 

Call it nationalism if you will, but if it comes to any future conflict, they may find it difficult to get anyone willing to put their lives on the line and go fight for a country they no longer see as theirs.

You can bet DEI quotas would be dropped when it came to reruiting soldiers for any conflicts. They'd have to be, because none of the cultural enrichers would put their hands up. 

 

Personally speaking, I would never fight for a government like Labour who views British working class patriotic people as worthy of derision.

Stupid people.  Don't they know that in Britain curtains go on the inside of the window - not the outside.  Perhaps they're immigrants and not familiar with our traditions?

Refugees are seeking a better life, either as a result of war, or poverty.

 

By 2050, conservative models are showing the flows of water from the Tibetan Plateau will be halved, and that's without the Chinese building thousands of dams. Climate change.

 

The Tibetan plateau is the source of water for the Mekong, Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. About one billion people depend on those rivers for their food.

 

You think you have mass migration now? Wait for it.

There are those "models" again that are purely designed to stoke fear and when their dire predications do not materialize they release a new model for the climate scare mongers to propagate whilst conveniently forgetting the previous wholly inaccurate fear predictions. 

 

If any of these predictions from "models" had actually come to pass in the last 50 years we would all be dead about 10 times over.  Go back 25 years and take a look at the fear propaganda being spread back then that predicted similar dire outcomes of disaster that should have happened by now and then start to question whether or not you should give any more credence today to this nonsense than the predictions back then.

Leaving the EU didn’t help at all: quite the opposite.

Are you sure about leaving also the ECHR?

Because if it goes the same way of Brexit, the consequences for the UK can be devastating.

There are predictions, and there are facts.

Yes of course that'll be it, Islamophobia. An irrational fear of a totalitarian ideology that some have estimated to have killed 250 million people and seeks to impose The Sharia on countries. You are always going on about Nazis but give Islam a free pass. Why is that?

 

Non believers have the choice between converting, paying the Jizia or being killed. But of course the so called moderate Muslims we have in Western countries would never do that.

The big difference is that we could control direct immigration from Asia and Africa if we had the will, but not when they had been given EU passports by Merkel and the other Kalergi prize aspirants.
