Vive la difference
Call me 'old fashioned' but when I go abroad I like to visit a 'foreign country' i.e. one with a different language, a different culture, a different lifestyle, different architecture, different fashions, different shops, different food etc.
Multiculturalism is a middle class Politically Correct attempt to standardise everything and everyone into being a beige Global 'off the shelf' consumer society - well I say, vive la difference.

Rising national debt
We have falling unemployment and increased productivity but the economy is still on the brink of collapse, why? You don't have to be an economist to know the answer.
It's because
• new jobs are either temporary, part-time, service industry based or given to low paid foreign workers,
• the bulk of manufacturing has been off shored,
• the majority of workers don't have enough money in their pockets for luxuries or unnecessary spending,
• foreign workers are sending their spare cash home,
The UK is richer than it has ever been in its history, we have more millionaires and billionaires yet the state is nearly bankrupt. Education, the NHS, the armed services, the Police force and social services are all being starved of cash.
How? Why? Easy.
Government doesn't have any money, although the UK is money rich the Government is money poor; it doesn't make anything and it doesn't sell anything. All Government income comes from taxation. If the Government doesn't have any money then there is something wrong with the level of taxation, the way this taxation is garnered or the way in which Government spends the taxes it raises.
The majority of workers are heavily taxed; the money comes into the coffers. However a lot of workers earn very little and survive on benefit top ups from the state.
There are a lot of unemployed people, unemployed people can't pay tax: so no money into the coffers and a lot of money going out in the way of benefits.
Corporations are allowed to offshore their main offices and therefore pay reduced corporation tax to another country. Some Corporations don't pay any tax. The rich offshore their money avoiding tax. Too much money is in the hands of the rich multi-national conglomerates and their international shareholders, all of whom avoid paying tax.
Corporations commission the Government to send its armed forces to smash up the infrastructure of another sovereign country. The Corporations then move into the ruins of said country, take huge Government handouts raised from taxes, pretend to repair the damage done during the war, then bill the Government for expenses and pay huge dividends to their rich shareholders who in turn reward corrupt politicians with high paid director posts when they leave office.
In the mean time the national debt increases and politicians tell us that the NHS, education, armed forces, police, social benefits etc have all become too expensive and they are leading us down the road to bankruptcy.

Why the economy is constantly crashing
We are constantly told that the economy is either growing or shrinking by the high priests in the media. Various politicians or economists will frequently appear stating their own solutions to each and every crisis.
The problem is actually easy to explain but the solution is harder to enforce.
There is only a certain amount of money in the economy. For any economy to work efficiently all members of society must have enough money to spend on products and services.
If the money is allowed to gather in the hands of a small number of people then there will be less buying power in the market place.
This will result in constant recessions and deprivation.
The only solution is to have an adequate minimum wage and a reasonable maximum wage. In this way the money will flow freely through the economic system ensuring that everyone has opportunity.
The wealthy will not allow their political puppets to introduce either.

True freedom of the individual
True freedom of the individual to do as they wish and say what they wish can only be preserved by the social and economic stability of society.
This stability can only be ensured by a nationally focused state body determined to defend the nation's true cultural identity.
Anything else will inevitably create differing regional cultures and a fracturing of society into chaos resulting in the reduction of individual freedoms.
Society must be based on a national foundation otherwise it will be swept aside by a more cohesive and less tolerant ideology.
