THE ENEMY WITHIN 07/30/2010

When people consider ‘an enemy within’ many think of Islamic extremists that seek to abolish traditional English or Christian customs and impose Sharia law. This is true, such people do pose a very serious threat to English culture. Others may think of left wing or right wing extremists, or those that exploit the benefits and taxation system. To some such people also pose a serious threat to the wellbeing of the country. However there exists another enemy within that is a threat to us all. In appearance you would think this enemy was a pillar of society and an almost perfect Englishman or woman. You would think these people were successful business people, helping to turn the wheels of English industry and creating employment for English citizens. However, you could not be further from the truth and such appearances are very deceptive.

This respectable looking ‘enemy within’ cares very little for England or the people of England. What they do care about is the size of their bank balance. To increase the size of their bank balance they will employ the cheapest available labour who will tolerate the poorest conditions. In most cases this will not be workers of English culture or those that have adapted to English culture, it will be economic migrant labour and in some circumstances even illegal immigrants.

It can be argued that this still helps to keep the wheels of English industry turning, albeit with English workers paying the price. However another practice of this enemy within is to actually relocate whole companies overseas or start businesses in the lands of cheap labour. This has no benefit to the English economy whatsoever. Such practices not only deny the workers of England employment it is virtually taking food out of their mouths. These people are far from pillars of society, they are nothing less than economic traitors.

The English Radical vision is for business and industry to work for the greater good of the country and its people. It should provide economic prosperity for the nation and employment, decent wages and conditions for workers. It should be a fair deal all round. In reality, what we have in many circumstances is the exact opposite with unscrupulous economic traitors ripping off the people and the country. Yet the most annoying thing about this is the fact successive Labour and Tory governments have allowed and encouraged this to happen. Therefore it comes as no surprise that the present Con-Dem coalition seem set to continue this practice. Read between the lines of David Cameron’s recent visit to India and you will see he has helped to oil the wheels of Indian industry, whilst merely wiping those of England with an oily rag.

In this current uneven economic playing field, what chance of long term success has any decent business person that wishes to establish a company in England, employ local labour and offer decent pay and conditions? What chance has the ordinary honest working man or woman when he or she is forced to compete against cheap overseas labour? The capitalist system allows companies to relocate abroad or drive wages and conditions down to obtain further profits.  Even if this causes unemployment and social hardships, the ordinary working man and woman or decent patriotic business person will bear the cost to satisfy the profit margins of the economic traitors.

There needs to be a radical approach in order to rectify this situation. However we must never forget what we are dealing with is ‘economic traitors’ who care little for our country and its people. In a new, radical England measures would be introduced to prevent the exodus of companies to ‘the lands of cheap labour’. If a company wishes to relocate it would have to pay its workers a lump sum equivalent to one years pay (on top of any redundancies). This would provide a financial cushion for the workforce and give them the available finance to start their own business if they wish. The sale of the companies premises would be offered first to the workforce at a substantially reduced rate, should they wish to take over and run the business as a co-operative. Favourable financial conditions and training would be made available for newly established co-operatives in a bid to help them succeed. Finally the relocated company would find that it faces stiff import controls of its products into England. Ultimately, an ideal solution would be if someone wishes to relocate their business abroad, let them also surrender their English passport, emigrate to the lands of cheap labour themselves and become a national of that country. England does not need economic traitors.

Economically we also need to address the large multi-national concerns that dominate business and drive smaller companies to the wall. The tide needs to be turned to favour smaller, local and regionalised economies rather than those dictated to us by the multi-nationals. But we have to make sure our future, the smaller businesses of England, stay in England and provide employment for local workforces. England has to deal with its enemies within. If we fail to deal with the economic enemies within our shores we shall continue to fail. We cannot afford decade after decade of governments allowing multi-nationals to run our country and our smaller businesses to relocate abroad. There needs to be a radical solution which involves education, training and economic protectionism.  The English Radical Alliance is the only party that is brave enough to offer that solution.

The subject that dare not speak its name is in the news again, because a real member of the public sneaked past the legions of Labour supporters and hangers-on to get within range of the prime minister, and had the temerity to question his position on immigration. Apparently, our Dear Leader thinks even lifelong Labour supporters who disagree with the Labour party line on this subject are bigots.

Leaving aside the discussion they had on the day, let’s look at non-asylum immigration, and split it into two types – EU and non-EU. The three main party leaders are talking tough on limiting non-EU immigration (yawn), but for some reason skirt around the subject of EU citizen’s rights to come over and settle here. There are no national borders as far as movement of EU citizens is concerned. 

The EU has a population of 500 million – strip out the UK population figures of 60 million plus, leaving 440 million. If only 1% of EU citizens decided to “up sticks” and move here, we would be looking at accommodating 4 million extra people. As an already overcrowded country deeply in debt, how would we cope? An unlikely scenario some may say, but when you look at the financial storm brewing in Greece, with Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy set to follow them - if you lived in a country on the verge of financial collapse and violent disorder, wouldn’t you be tempted to jump on a plane and move to a place where the State guarantees to feed, house and keep you? Are we really in a position to let potentially millions of refugee EU nationals in and live here to claim benefits, or undercut the wages of struggling English workers? 

Non-EU citizens (other than asylum seekers) who come to the UK are not entitled to any State benefits -they have to work for a living and pay taxes. So the Iraqi doctor, and the Phillipino nurse, are paying their way. ERA feels all immigrants should have to meet this criteria – that of being able to fill a skill shortage, support one’s self/family, willingness to integrate into English society and obey English laws. These people are supporting themselves and not a burden to the taxpayer. EU citizens can merely turn up and demand to be looked after. 

So which is worse: the non-EU immigration you can manage, by people who have to work and pay taxes when they get here, or the EU immigration you can’t prevent, by people for whom we have no work? We have no control over immigration while we are an EU member – just remember that, if you are tempted to support any of the LibLabCon parties. The EU owns them.
