Channel 4, is screening a controversial documentary this evening which exposes the extent of race hate in Britain today. The most extraordinary aspect of what can only be described as a challenging programme is it focuses on race hate between ethnic minorities with the native white Britons either uninvolved or innocently caught up in the cross-fire.

Much of the filming took place in the West Midlands, which presenter Darcus Howe describes as a “powder keg” and reports on the growing violence between gangs of young Afro-Caribbeans and young Asian Muslims, much of which has remained unreported by national and regional news media.

Inter-ethnic tensions

The programme, “Who You Calling a Nigger?” (Monday 9th at 23:00hrs) sets out to explore the hidden issues of inter-ethnic tension and delivers a verdict which will confront the widely held liberal elite’s notions regarding immigration and help dispel the myth of harmonious multi-culturalism.

The BNP has long demonstrated that mass immigration is a device used by big global business to keep down wages with the dire consequences of social disruption and breakdown of community cohesion that we are witnessing in Britain today.

Competition for jobs

The current mass inward migration of newcomers from Afghan, Iraq, China and Somalia that are exploited as cheap sources of labour have caused an economic depression amongst large numbers of migrants who have been settled here for the past 40 or so years. Inevitably there is tension where competition for largely unskilled jobs exists.

The Harvard-based economist, George Borjas, writing in his 2003 book, “Heaven’s Door”, explored this subject in great detail. Borjas who is the Professor of Economics and Social Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University wrote that the benefits of immigration (into the US) have been greatly exaggerated and that if the American people allow immigration to continue unabated and unmodified, they are supporting an astonishing transfer of wealth from the poorest people in the country, who are disproportionately minorities, to the richest.

Money shifting from poor to rich

He added that the process of dragging down wages, immigration currently shifts tens of billions of dollars per year from workers to employers and users of immigrants’ services.

The principle is repeated on this side of the Atlantic and tonight’s Howe documentary brings home the personal and community consequences of such an misguided purely economic decision masked by the current and previous Governments as issues of humanitarianism and asylum.
