Nothing really new to add, but a thought.
When I published my last post, I neglected to mention that the Islamic future of Britain does not impact the UK alone. It will affect the whole of Europe, Germany most of all. Germany has said it will take in 800,000 migrants.
That is one tenth of their population. Fair enough that Germany is a larger country to house them and the German industrial base needs more manpower.
But I don't think Mrs Merkel has fully thought out the long term repercussions of allowing such a large influx of Islamic immigrants. The surge of Islamic immigrants will escalate the growth of the Islamic population curve and Germany will now increasingly become Islam orientated, with a dedicated infrastructure to the increasing Muslim population. And give the far right a boost in popularity as the indigenous Germans become frightened by the overwhelming flood of Muslims living and working in their neighbourhoods.
And the German constitution will work against the native Germans. They have leaned back so much to avoid being viewed as Nazis, they have effectively left themselves defenseless against this flood of humanity.
It will be interesting to see when the United States of America and Israel will notice the long term consequences of the Islamic migrancy into Europe and start to issue statements starting with "We view with alarm..."
If you have thoughts on this, please comment.
As I said before, the large scale emigration of an entire people has historic precedence and while happening once again, doesn't mean I have to like it. No doubt it will happen again. Maybe the next great emigration will be to Mars...

back, migrants
Long time no updates.
Apologies.
My old laptop broke down, got a replacement until that broke and now on a third, for a couple of years. All that time and I haven't updated...
Well, it was a long time between my first laptop breaking and getting a replacement...
Writing, still trying. Nearing a finish on my first full length book, a sci-fi story tentatively titled The Hammer of God. As I said, nearly finished with just the climax and one or two scenes to include, then a re-read to see how it flows. Probably add little bits here and there.
Then find a reliable publisher, I don't want to self publish.
Real life news. This migrant migration just won't finish, will it?
Regardless of how many migrants will reach England, having reached this conclusion years ago, but I think in two hundred or two hundred and fifty years, England will be an Islamic country complete with Sharia Law. The terrorism of the Islamic State or the Taliban and other groups is just a distraction, the main problem, as I see it, is that Muslim families are larger than indigenous English families so that the Muslim population will rise faster than the Anglo-Saxon 'Christians' which many people think of as the main ethnic population of England.
I'm not so sure. Church going is on the decline and so, undoubtedly, is reading the Bible every day. Materialism is at the heart of most English families these days, not spiritualism, so no wonder Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.
England becoming 'Britistan' in a couple of centuries makes me sad, but I can't see how it can be stopped.
Historically speaking, this island seems to change nationalities fairly regularly.
The first natives of Britain were the Beaker people, all we know of them are from the clay beakers they left behind them, burning their dead on pyres. They were killed off/absorbed by the Celts. The Celtic British were conquered by the Romans, who introduced God knows how many bloodlines into the native Celtic population. Not just Roman blood, or Roman Auxiliaries from across the Roman Empire, but the servants and slaves Roman nobility brought to their British homes who mingled with the natives.
Once the Romans left, Gaelic tribes from Ireland started raiding and settling in Britain, particularly the Scotti settling in the Pictish north. And famously, the Anglo-Saxon hordes invading what is now England.
The Danes conquered most of northern England, then came William the Bastard arrived with his Normans, descendants of Norwegian Vikings and the Franks who had settled in Gaul (now France) and he brought the Jews in with him.
That was the last successful invasion by armed force, But migration into Britain continued. I am not familiar with subsequent migration, but it includes French Huguenots fleeing persecution in France, Irish fleeing the Great Famine in Ireland.
Britain also attracted foreigners with our far flung Empire, not all from within the Empire. Chinese, Indians and Africans came.
Caribbeans were invited after World War II to do jobs white Britons didn't want to do. Case in point, my grandmother is in a care home and the vast majority of care workers are black.
So the current migration is nothing new, almost expected, perhaps. I suppose what is new is that the Biblical scale of migration from Syria, Pakistan and Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Middle East is NOT an armed invasion like the Anglo-Saxon migration (fleeing Attila the Hun's descendants).
Wow, that was long. Okay, til the next time...
