Robin Tilbrook, Chairman of the English Democrats, has posted
an interesting article on his blog comparing what an English Conservative
Home Secretary said about immigration in 1924 to the views of today’s Tory
leadership.
Mr Tilbrook reveals Sir William Joynson- Hicks,
Conservative Home Secretary in 1924, said:
“I am going to
curtail alien immigration and deport undesirables; we do not want to flood England
with the alien refuse of the world. I
regard aliens who live in their own communities, marry within them, and speak
their own language, as unsuitable to be British residents.”
The English Democrats Chairman writes:
“Of course in those
days Conservative Home Secretaries were proper Conservatives and were also
patriots who would be revolted by the current Home Secretary’s unpatriotic
support for foreigners ruling over us through the EU.”

Meanwhile, it seems one Conservative, Rory Stewart the
Minister of State for International Development and Minister of State for
Africa at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, might have one or two thoughts
along the same lines as Sir William Joynson-Hicks.
Mr Stewart, speaking of British Isil fighters, was quoted
in The Telegraph saying:
“They are absolutely
dedicated, as members of the Islamic State, towards the creation of a
caliphate, they believe in an extremely hateful doctrine which involves killing
themselves, killing others and trying to use violence and brutality to create
an eighth century, or seventh century, state.
So I am afraid we
have to be serious about the fact these people are a serious danger to us, and
unfortunately the only way of dealing with them will be, in almost every case,
to kill them.”
Doubtless British Isil fighters could be classed as
“undesirables” but, if they somehow managed to return to these shores, could they be
deported? They are, after all, British
and which nation would want to take in British “undesirables"?
