The number of babies born in the UK hits a 20 low.

This is a "good thing" according to Britain's "top demographic expert" - Oxford professor Sarah Harper.

But who is this expert and what does she want? Image
Sarah thinks that there are too many babies in Africa, which is causing African countries trouble, and that there are too many babies in the developed world leading to "overconsumption". Image
Put short, the solution to this is to ignore difficult pro-natalist policies in the West, and import the 3rd world to take care of the old.

Then, to address the intergenerational fairness problem you've just created by importing millions of poors, you should give them money.
Sarah, who was an advisor to the Tory government on demography under Theresa May when the current government's immigration policy was written, is in favour of what she calls combating the "age-structural" change in the population. Image
Stability in the population pyramid is the aim. An old population is a burden on the young, a young population is politically and economically chaotic.
In her 2018 book "How Population Change will Transform our World", she presents evidence the pro-natalist policies tend to fail (France, Sweden, Romania), and anti-natalist policies are not always effective (Pakistan, Nigeria etc). Image
Therefore, governments can't create age-structural stability through birth policies.

The only remaining tool is migration.
Her book is written in a careful academic style, presenting itself as neutral, but there are always tell tale signs of someone's true intentions.

E.g. she only presents evidence that migration is an economic good, and never once tries to distinguish between types of migrant.
High caste, low caste, illegal entrant or investing entrepreneur - all are simply numbers in the age pyramid.

Demographics is destiny.
Sarah, who has also worked for BBC News, HSBC, and the EU, was critical of the UK's EU immigration policy, as it didn't allow in enough migrants.
Instead she praised Australia's migration policy for bringing in more foreigners.

The UK now has an "Australian style" system. Image
Migration levels to Europe are described in her book as needing to be between net 800,000 to 1,400,000 per year in order to maintain working age population numbers.

This migration is not only "needed" in order to ensure prosperity in devolped countries, but is also inevitable. Image
250,000,000 people will be international migrants by 2030, and "international agreements" are needed to ensure their "education and welfare". Image
At the end of the book, she, for no reason whatsoever, decides to share the dreams of poor brown girls in developing countries.

These stories have nothing to do with the demographic data she spent the rest of the book talking about. Image
Sarah is global-race-communism personified.

Migration is not only necessary and inevitable, but good; stop having babies in the West please; give money to train and feed poor browns.

People like her are our true new elite, and we're all suffering as a result.

Fin.

With the government fiddling its data and its mouthpieces in full denial mode, we can turn to alternative evidence to see that crime is at a record high.

Start with insurance costs. Image
Retailers report the cost of theft is at a twenty year high.

Image
The private security industry needs to recruit 62,000 more officers to meet demand over the next 12 months.

Why would we need to hire more security than ever before if crime is down? Image

Mass migration is the number one issue facing the country.
It is the number two issue facing the country, as well as the number three issue.

There are only a small number of issues that are NOT directly and horrendously impacted by mass migration - Energy, Foreign Policy and Environmental Regulation.

Mass migration affects everything else - Education, crime, housing, wages, training & productivity, management culture, the NHS, women's safety & autonomy, religious freedom, freedom of speech, fairness and the rule of law. Our very ability to have a common culture. The issue is near total.

Until it is ended, it will dominate all political discussion, it will suck up all energy that could otherwise be used to make Britain a better place.
Unfortunately the solution isn't just to "stop the boats", leave a few international agreements and issue a handful of deportation flights.

For so long has mass migration been a reality that it has become an expectation by people with power in society, and a lever that is tempting to pull in order to maintain their status quo.

- Our overly financialised housing market relies on Mass Migration
- Our university system relies on Mass Migration.
- The remnants of our disseminated manufacturing sector relies on Mass Migration.
- Our convenience "gig" economy relies on Mass Migration.
- Our senior managers expect to be able hire cheap foreign labour.

To end Mass Migration, you need a comprehensive plan to deal with all of these expectations and special interests.
If you want to be taken seriously in your desire to end Mass Migration, you need to start publishing plans and proposals to how the world after it will look.

- How will you ensure the housing market doesn't collapse if there are millions fewer people living here?

- How will you ensure proper pension provisioning?

- How will our universities survive without unlimited foreign "students"?

- How will you help out manufacturers and warehouses when their labour costs increase?

- How will you change management culture to foster the development of our own people?

JD Vance: "The threat that I worry about the most about vis a vis Europe is not China, Russia or any other external actor, it is the threat from within".
JD Vance attacks Brussels threatening shut down social media, and Sweden prosecuting the burners of the Quran.

"It's not clear what has happened to some of the Cold War's winners"
JD Vance highlights the case in England of Adam Smith Connor being found guilty silently praying outside an abortion clinic, and the Scottish government warning that prayer within their own home may amount to breaking the law.

"Free speech is in retreat"

There's actually a long documented history to this question, here's a quick thread on how the British stopped eating fish.
🧵
Fresh water fish was a tradition in Britain until the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1500's, most towns had fisheries maintained by the church for Christian Friday fish dinners, but the maintenance did not survive the change in ownership. Image
Eating marine fish died out slowly out with industrialisation. The whole of Britain industrialised first in the world before high quality canning and refrigeration enabled the safe transportation of fresh fish. Image

Egypt is kind of screwed.

50 years ago, it had a population of 38 million people, today this has ballooned by 300% to 114 million with an average age of just 24y.

The country is at risk of plunging into chaos, causing millions to flee across the Mediterranean.

A short thread. Image
Water and agricultural land famously is scarce, meaning they're forced to import over half their food, a major source of their $33B balance of trade problem.

Much of this food is grain, coming from Ukraine and Russia, which has had severe supply disruptions for years now. Image
Before this, it's tourism industry was decimated by the covid lockdowns.

Once over 10 million people visited Egypt in a year, in 2020 this dropped to only 3.5 million.

Numbers today are back up, but the industry is yet to financially recover. Image

Traditionally, European people, but especially the British, socialise through voluntary associative organisations - The pub, church, the working mens club, sports etc.
The relationships developed from these organisations then spawn families.

Outside of Europe, this is inverted.
From Lagos to Karachi to Beijing, families were primary, and the familial ties from cousin to cousin, uncle to nephew, spawns organisations, businesses etc.

Even religious leadership positions are often passed down through family lines.
When conservatives in the west look at affectionally "politically organised Muslim communities", they innately assume that there must be voluntary association going on, that they're driven by common thoughts and ideas.

It just isn't true.
