I read a piece on Breitbart this morning about the Citizens UK group and their activities. It appears that Citizens UK is trying to press the Home Office to increase the number of ‘refugees’. Sadly I was not surprised at all to see one of Britain’s most ludicrously leftist Rabbis taking part in yet another Citizens UK open borders and fake ‘refugee’ campaign. Yes, I’m speaking about the politically deranged Rabbi Janet Darley of the Liberal Judaism group who with her Citizens UK group are sadly back in the news again.
Rabbi Janet Darley has a reputation for extreme ‘refugees welcome’ idiocy going back a fair way. She is very much on the far Left of a Jewish movement, Liberal Judaism, that has been in my opinion and by my observation from my point of view as a non Orthodox Jew, all but taken over by the left wing, pro-Islam and pro-mass migration Citizens UK group. Therefore, I am saddened but not at all surprised to see, that Rabbi Darley is taking part in a call by Citizens UK, for every town and village in Britain to be afflicted by their pet, mostly Muslim, ‘refugees’.
On the subject of Citizens UK, I have been consistently astounded not only by the undue influence that Citizens UK has over the senior management of Liberal Judaism and over the organisation’s policies. I have also been astounded by the extremely poor political and moral judgement of Rabbi Darley herself. It is Rabbi Darley we should recall who a couple of years back, chose to share a platform at a ‘refugees welcome’ demo organised by Citizens UK, with a known and proven Islamic extremist Shakeel Begg from Lewisham mosque. She is one of those Rabbonim whose alignment is to the political Left, who have used their religious and communal position to promote the sort of left wing pro-Islam positions of Citizens UK. This is to my mind a despicable and dangerous thing to do. This is because not only is Rabbi Darley calling for the entry into the UK of people who will likely present a clear and present danger to all British subjects both non-Jewish and Jewish, but by her stupidity she invites public opprobrium onto the entire Jewish community in the UK.
We should be concerned about the activities of Citizens UK as they have very good connections with and influence over churches, non Orthodox Jewish movements, the NHS, and with some parliamentarians and local authorities. This group of thoroughly Alinskyite left-wing Islam appeasers are very effective at convincing those in both national and local government that they represent a much larger body of opinion than they really do. Citizens UK uses this perceived significant support base to push for more migration, more ‘refugees’ and other leftist and Islam friendly policies. Citizens UK should have much less influence over government policy than they do as much of what they want is not what is going to help the rest of us. Do we really want yet more fake ‘refugees’? Do we really want more followers of an ideology that produces a disproportionate number of people who want to kill those outside of their group? Do we really want to let a dangerous and disruptive organisation that has sided with those who all too often wish us harm continue to have the undue influence that it has? I know that I do not.
I started to examine the activities of Citizens UK (see links contained in the above link) a while back after having a minor run in with them and a few of their supporters and acolytes. What I found caused me deep concern as no group like this should have so much influence over our national life especially as it’s support base among the general public appears very shallow. Citizens UK support is mostly among the Middle Class Left, liberal left religious types and Muslim groups. It thinks nothing of using blatant lies such as that the so-called ‘refugees’ in the Calais Jungle camp were the modern equivalent of the Jewish Kindertransport children whom Britain rescued from certain death in the 1930’s. It was Citizens UK that pushed for the Dubs Amendment to the Immigration Acts that allowed ‘unaccompanied children’ to come to Britain from the Calais camp to be brought to Britain. However the amendment was dropped by the Government presumably when they realised that they’d been conned by ‘refugees welcome’ types and that those coming into the UK via the Dubs Amendment were definitely not children.
Citizens UK are a thoroughly bad lot who have managed to garner an awful lot of undue influence among the political, administrative and religious classes in the UK. It is so powerful and well connected that it was able to push through an amendment to the Immigration Acts. There are very few groups that can get government to listen in this way and this should give the ordinary British subject cause for concern.
Because of the nature of Citizens UK and the policies they espouse we should turn much more attention to and protest more about, the actions of this entity. We should also call out those sometimes naïve fools who support it and who by their social, communal or political position have given Citizens UK far more influence than it deserves. I’m pleased to see that major publications such as Breitbart are taking aim at the Citizens UK group. Citizens UK is a pernicious entity whose aims have very little to do with the ‘ common good’ which is what Citizens UK claims they are supporting. On the contrary Citizens UK’s main aims seem to be everything to do with promoting what are the policies of a relatively small group of leftists and influence pedlars in the Islamic community. Citizens UK does not represent the bulk of opinion in this country but they have successfully managed to convince opinion formers that they do and they should be exposed for what they are which I thank Breitbart for doing. Neither Citizens UK nor the foolish leftist Rabbi Darley represent me or my interests or my nations interests, and it is high time that we started to loudly point this fact out.
