That is very chilling! Unfortunately that has been the fate of most European countries as well as North America. Interesting how the Asian nations have not allowed their cultures to be eliminated. Why aren’t refugees pushed on China ? Not that anyone would want to go there.
Why aren't refugees pushed on other Islamic countries? It is all by design.
Islam has a principle called Civilizational Jihad. It is the conquest of other cultures by infiltration. Moving in, but refusing to assimilate. The average Muslim woman has 4-5 children; the average western woman has less than 2. Starting with a small immigrant crew, Islam can become the majority within its "host" country within a few generations. History has shown even long before becoming the majority Muslims have an outsized impact on their host. Once Muslims reach 15% of the population they become culturally and politically active, and by being vocal and insatiable they can influence policy to their liking even though being a relatively small minority. And in the history of the world, dozens of countries have been taken over by Islam, either through direct invasion, or through Civilizational Jihad. And in all of history, no country that has become Muslim has ever become non-Muslim. It is a one way street. And the countries of Europe would do well to listen to the message in this video.
For an excellent discussion of this topic, read any of Mark Steyn's books on Islam and global demographics. America Alone is a great place to start.
Yes! I've never been to England, but like so many Americans, it's my ancestral home. I have despaired over this country, this 'green and pleasant land.' It seemed all the pride, all the fight, all the love of tradition had gone out of them. Well, maybe not. As he said, they were never asked, they were told. Yes, it's time to fight. It's past time. But if you've got an ounce of love for your country left, fight, fight, fight. Until you win.
Sadly, I have some sort of personality disorder that compells me to present alternative points of view. ;)
The concept of Englishness is somewhat nebulous. The land has been populated since around 700,000 BC. It only became an island around 6,000 BC. Some people think we go back to Celtic times but they arrived arouns 500 BC. 45 BC and the Romans arrived and took over. The Angles and Saxons arrived after the Romans left in 410 BC.
The name of the Angles tribe is where the words English and England come from - Angle Land. They held sway until the Vikings (or Norsemen) came from Scandinavia around 800 AD. That lasted a few years until a second wave of Vikings, the Norman (Norsemen) French installed themselves in 1066. Lots of French words added to the vocabulary after that. The elite would all speak French. The video happily shows the Tower of London, built by the Normans, implying it is an example of Englishness.
We emerged from the Middle Ages with a Welshman as king, Henry Tudor, in 1485. The last Tudor queen spent much time trying to keep the Scots away from the English throne but when she dies a Scottish king took over, James VI of Scotland AKA James I of England. Then we had our military dictatorship under oliver Cromwell and a coup orchestrated by William of Orange in Holland to become William III of England, Ireland and Scotland in 1689.
Than lasted until he was swapped out for a German royal family - who all spoke German right up to and including Queen Victoria. Interestingly, the narrator of the video in the post seems to revere the names of George and Victoria that were also popular with this new German dynasty.
During all that time Britain was quite happy creating an empire but has often been less enthusiastic when the citizens of that empire turned up in Britain in spite of the fact that those dominions were willing to go to war on Britain's behalf.
So, it is difficult to spot a time when the romantic view of England being English actually happened. There were a few hundred thousand years of no Englishness, followed by Celts and Romans. Then some Germanic tribes arrived, some Danes, French, Welsh, Scots, Dutch and finally Germans again. They all imported their own people and the Empire encouraged even more - and I bet his family were not asked about any of that.
I got chills down my spine. I visited London & other areas of the UK in 2014 for an extended period of time. Had a lovely trip, felt safe, and was struck by the kindness of native Britons—the gentleman at the airport taxi stand who told me a train into London was much cheaper than a taxi ride, and personally walked me to the ticketing area. The owner of the hostel who welcomed me like an old friend. My friend’s host when she attended boarding school there for 6 months in high school—a DELIGHTFUL older gentleman and his granddaughter who set out a beautiful tea for us. The British people and culture are incredible. I just wish they weren’t being erased.
Any nation is entitled to deport those there illegally. Illegal entry, illegal conduct, are all deal breakers of the contract. That would result in a great relocation of people back home, where they are in fact needed.

Was in a motorway services at the weekend and the washroom walls displayed recruitment posters for the Royal Air Force.
Maybe 5 different versions with 2 or 3 images of airmen and women.
ALL images were non white.

What has happened here can't be reversed, there is no fight left for England, only the global fight now for us all.
