No room for political correctness in environmentalism.

Imagine, if you will, the casualty department of a city centre hospital. Also imagine a badly fitted paving slab located immediately outside its entrance. Now visualize a steady stream of injured pedestrians, nursing bruised knees and gashed elbows, seeking treatment within - having failed to successfully negotiate the offending item of “road-ware”. Finally, try to get your mind around this - the manager of said casualty department, fed up with the situation, puts pen to paper, to write to his local Health Authority in despair. Bizarrely he ignores the paving slab and, instead, implores them to build him a new and larger casualty department - so that he may be better equipped to cope with the increased workload arising from a never-ending stream of injured pedestrians!

Sounds crazy doesn’t it? But unfortunately this analogy is not that wide of the mark! Let’s explain:

A couple of years ago it was reported in the Guardian newspaper that a well known environmentalist organisation, whom we’ll not mention to save them embarrassment, had written to the then prime minister, Tony Blair. The letter urged Blair to make dramatic changes to the Government’s house building plans, so as to avoid urban sprawl in Britain’s countryside. In addition the organisation concerned was also reported as requesting that the Government increase its stated target for development, on brownfield land, from 60% to 75%”.

To elaborate further, this leading environmentalist organisation wanted the Labour Government to increase building densities in London and the South East to at least 80 homes per hectare, from the present 30 to 50 “ in order to “protect our countryside from the effects of urban sprawl”

We repeat “ “to protect our countryside from the effects of urban sprawl!”

Here we have, in real life, the equivalent of the manager of our fictitious casualty department! No mention of the cause of the problem “ you will note - just a request for more building to cope with the symptoms of the problem.

One would have imagined that a serious organisation claiming environmentalist credentials would be campaigning against the cause of the problem “ not pussyfooting around tinkering with its effects.

One would also have imagined that a serious organisation claiming environmentalist credentials would be asking why the population of London and the South East region is rising so quickly?

As it is ludicrous to suggest that the organisation concerned is unaware that immigration is the prime cause of the overpopulation that’s wrecking the South East of England - in particular “ then we must ask why it is that they are determined not to recognise the obvious link between immigration and overpopulation?

Can it really be that these so-called “mainstream” environmentalists are prepared to sacrifice our precious and irreplaceable environment on the altar of political correctness in furtherance of the worship of a false god, the idol known as multiculturalism?

Land & People says its time this idol was cast down, that the disciples of multiculturalism were exorcised from the environmentalist congregation, and that we campaigned for the protection of rural England from the ravages of immigration fuelled overpopulation. Amen to that.

“Mainstream” environmentalists in denial!

Friday, August 01st, 2008 | Author: News Team

Without a doubt the biggest single controllable threat to our environment is that of overpopulation. Indeed England is one of the most crowded places on the face of the earth and getting more crowded by the day. Fuelling overpopulation, as the Government’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) will verify, is immigration. If it were not for half a century’s worth of immigration, then our population would be considerably smaller than it is today. Yet as overcrowded as we already are on this tiny island, things are going to get even tighter “ much tighter in fact!

According to the experts, the Government “ with the backing of the Tory opposition - plans to allow around another six million migrants into Britain over the next twenty years “ which is why, of course, Labour needs the three million new homes it is currently attempting to force local authorities to grant planning permission for across the country!

This planned boost to overpopulation, being despite the detrimental affect immigration is already having on housing, employment, education, heath services, social services and law enforcement “ and lets not even start on exasperating the demand for more water provision, energy generation, sewerage treatment and rubbish disposal!

So it comes as something of a surprise to learn that “mainstream”, so-called, “environmentalists” aren’t clamouring for a halt to immigration to safeguard what remains of our countryside and environment! You will see them protesting about the symptoms “ a housing development on green field sites “ but you will never see them protesting about the cause “ far less actually campaigning for an end to this “ the greatest controllable threat imaginable to our environment.

The problem is, you see, that “mainstream” environmentalists are caught on the horns of a dilemma. On the one horn they know immigration is the driving motor behind the overpopulation that is wrecking our countryside and reducing the quality of life for everyone. But on the other horn they are conditioned to believing that opposition to immigration is “racist” and should they oppose it, then they will be “ racists! Far safer then to enter a self imposed state of denial and engage in a limitation exercise campaigning against the symptoms than to be seen as unacceptably politically incorrect by recognising and addressing the real issue!

As an example of what we at Land & People mean, we invite you to visit the web site of the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England (CPRE) and there to do a site search using the key word “immigration”. The CPRE remember, is one of the largest and most influential “mainstream” environmentalist groups in the country “ yet a search of their website produces just 1 (one) find for any article mentioning the word “immigration”! That, we believe, speaks volumes for their credibility as serious environmentalists!
