If you wanted to find evidence that British politicians both national and local despise the people who elect them and who pay for them, then you need look no further than the pro migration views of some councillors from the rural English county of Herefordshire. According to a local newspaper article that I’ve been alerted to by a contact, the local council in Herefordshire, a council it must be said that doesn’t have massive resources or lots of public housing going spare, is looking to take in yet more ‘Syrian’ ‘refugees’. The local authority isn’t taking these ‘Syrians’ reluctantly or because the government is telling them to (although that is part of the reason), the local authority is doing this deliberately and enthusiastically in order to force ‘diversity’ on people qutie a few of whom according to my sources on the ground there, don’t want the sort of ‘diversity ‘ that the politicians are offering.
Below is an article from the local newspaper for the area, the Hereford Times. You will notice that the council cabinet is making statements about the ‘benefit’ that the Syrians will bring to the area that are very much at odds with the very negative experience that other areas and indeed other nations have had with these ‘Syrian’ ‘refugees’. In their enthusiasm to welcome a bunch of Muslim Syrians, who are likely to be an ongoing burden and a potential crime or jihad problem for their county, the local authority fails to mention the 900 Syrians who were arrested in the UK for a variety of crimes including rape, child abuse and making death threats. How on earth are a group of people that produce such a disproportional number of dangerous criminals going to be a benefit for the county of Herefordshire?
Here’s the Hereford Times article. As is usual policy for this blog the original text from the Hereford Times is in italics whereas this blog’s comment is in plain text. I’ve also copied at the end of this article some of the comments from the local paper’s comment section in anticipation that, as this story regards the importation of Muslims, the comments are likely to be closed by the newspaper.
The Hereford Times said:
MOVES to welcome more Syrian refugees to Herefordshire will help the new university attract greater numbers of international students.
I doubt it for reasons I shall explain later.
That is the hope of Herefordshire Council, with cabinet members today due to consider whether to extend a scheme for the re-settlement of refugees in the county.
Let’s hope they say no to this but it’s pretty obvious that enough councillors have been blinded by the diversity bullshit that they will say yes.
Herefordshire has already become home to 60 Syrian families over the last year, but the proposal, if approved, will extend refugee resettlement to an additional 35 people – taking Herefordshire’ s total commitment to 95.
That’s 95 too many in some people’s opinion. My own opinion is that Britain should not have taken even a single Muslim Syrian into the UK as the Muslims in Syria are the oppressor population whereas the Christian population has been consistently oppressed by the Muslim Syrians especially during the recent conflict. It would have been more effective both in terms of getting help to those who need it and economically effective to supply aid to the war zone or as near to it as possible. Bringing these ‘Syrians’ here to the UK is enormously expensive in terms of housing and benefits and in the added security costs that are incurred because of Syrian criminals. The crap that these councillors are coming out with to justify their pro migrant guff beggars belief.
It is hoped that a more diverse population will prove to be beneficial to communities and the future NMiTE university.
A report prepared for cabinet members says: “Developing a diverse population will support Herefordshire in attracting international students to the new university and provide a more varied workforce for businesses to recruit and develop from.
Will the enforced diversity be of any benefit to indigenous locals? I very much doubt that. As for the university excuse well that is plainly laughable. What attracts high paying international students to a seat of learning is high quality and widely accepted courses in the field that they wish to study in. You don’t attract high flying and high paying international students by turning a rural English city into a simulacrum of Bradford.
“Herefordshire now has an established small Syrian community so any further commitment to take Syrians would offer greater opportunities for them to integrate with the resident community.”
You don’t encourage integration by importing more people and thereby encouraging ghettos. You encourage integration by having small numbers of migrants of high quality of the sort who will contribute to the host society. I doubt very much that these ‘Syrians’ will come into this category.
So far, the resettlement of refugees under the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (SVPRS) appears to have gone well, the report says, with no significant issues or pressures.
I wonder who wrote this report? It sounds like it could have been written by some pro migrant social justice warrior or a group like Citizens UK or some other body or individual with a vested interest in shovelling the manure of diversity in people’s faces and down their throats whether the British citizen wants it or not.
It adds that all those who have been resettled in the county have been housed in properties in the private rental market.
Is that supposed to make it all better is it? British people need private rented accommodation too. Every home, whether private or public, handed out to these ‘Syrian’s is another home that is not being occupied by a Briton. It’s obvious to me and may well be to others that the politicians have zero interest in what British people may want or local people may want and their primary desire is to virtue signal over these ‘refugees and to tick the ‘diversity’ box. I hope that those in the area who are worried about this ‘Syrian refugees’ will protest peacefully about this but protest hard, because it’s plain to see that local representatives care more for these ‘Syrians’ than they do for the people who will have to put up with them and others like them. If people do not stand up and speak out then they could wake up one morning to find, like others have done in places where local authorities have played the ‘diversity’ game and pushed for ‘diversity’, that the people of Hereford could find themselves as a minority in their own city.

Hereford is so backward in terms of diversity.. Almost every other major conurbation in the UK has a decent mix of immigrants and ethnic backgrounds. We could really do with a proper influx of people from different ethnic backgrounds..
The only positive influence in Herefordshire in the past couple of decades has been the EEs, but even they only come in small numbers.

I don’t know what went wrong because in the 70s Hereford had a mix of ethnic people from all different backgrounds going to the college. How it’s gone very racist against immigrants and ethnic people. And sometimes you can feel the tension. As a social anthropologist I find it very upsetting.

Why is it raciest to express an option that is obvious to all, except the wrist wringing liberal elite? The word is used far to much, and in as many situations, please use it in its proper context, or it becomes meaningless.

Herefordshire has very little or no housing available to families already living in Herefordshire, so where, may I ask are they going to accommodate 35 more Syrian refugees?

Because we are always ready to fall over backwards, to help foreigners, I really wish we would start to help our own for once, it is nice to help people, but not nice to desert our own by doing so.

It is good that we help people in need, i live around the corner from where a syrian family has been housed and what i struggle to get my head around is the fact that these families come here with only the clothes on their backs, and now all of a sudden they have two cars which are both less than 6 years old on their drive way. How are they funding this? I work full time plus overtime and my family just about make ends meet and pay the mortgage, we cant go out and buy two fairly newish cars!!……..

Like most British citizens when making a comment on such matters, we must first say that I’m not racist. I understand that Britain is the only country that negotiates directly or indirectly with terrorists as they did with the IRA allow murderers to walk free. They will also allow potential terrorist into this country even though we cannot afford to look after our own. Hereford Council which some may find a joke, is supposed to govern according to the wishes of Herefordians who voted them into office. It appears the only voice we have, as in the sign of a X after that it appears we have no say. The only way forward is to stop voting, so that we can get heard. Immigrants and refugees and genuine people seeking support and safety have rights but so do we. Where is our human rights going??
