I watched Sky News trying desperately this afternoon to whip up outrage at David Cameron's PMQs comment about Jeremy Corbyn meeting a "bunch of migrants" in Calais. Yvette Cooper appeared, her little munchkin face all scrunched up with angry compassion - apparently the default facial expression of Labour females. Cameron's language, she said, was "inappropriate" for a Prime Minister, especially on National Holocaust Day. Yvette apparently hasn't yet worked out that it might be "inappropriate" for a representatives of the political party whose current leadership is screamingly anti-Semitic (oops, sorry, ant-Zionist - I keep getting that wrong) to use the Holocaust as a basis for moral preening. Disgraceful.
Ed Balls's other half was followed by some male economist with a weird accent and a silly voice (not, I hasten to add, Balls himself) droning on about how we should take in all the unaccompanied migrant kiddiewinkles as it "wouldn't cost us much". He didn't explain what he meant by "much" in this context, and didn't even begin to enlighten us as to why they should be considered Britain's responsibility, or why the government should ignore the wishes of over 70% of Britons who don't want let in any more immigrants at all.
The broadcasters can show us as many carefully-selected pictures of the small minority of migrants trying to reach this country who are children or females, and who aren't economic migrants, and who didn't leave the safety of Turkey in order to get to somewhere non-Muslim but a lot richer and more generous - but, by now, most of us have figured out that what we're actually talking about is an invasion of unskilled young male Muslims, many of whom will be socially unassimilable, and some of whom will be downright dangerous.
The liberal-left media-academic-political elite has spent half a century using Sweden as a example of what an enlightened, socially just society should look like. Well, it's the turn of the rest of us to point at Sweden - the rape capital of Europe, where free speech has been banned - as a salutary lesson in what happens when self-regarding, compassionate, unscrupulously optimistic lefties ignore human nature and common sense to implement deranged policies whose main aim is to demonstrate their innate moral superiority to the poor bastards who end up actually paying the price. Or just look to Germany, where gangs of young immigrants have been "enriching" the culture and showing their gratitude to Frau Merkel and the German taxpayer by shitting in public swimming pools and molesting female bathers.
Such stories used to be dismissed as the paranoid, lurid rantings of crazed racists. Liberals no longer deny that these horrible things take place; they just scream "racist" or "bigot" at anyone who brings them up. But the attempt to shame people into silence isn't really working any more, because we understand only too well that this is a problem of culture, rather than race. If you're brought up to believe that women who wear western clothes and don't cover their heads are sluts who deserve to be raped, that all homosexuals deserve to be killed, that Jews are apes who should be driven into the sea, and personal freedom and democracy are wicked, you simply aren't culturally equipped to live in the West. So the liberal media and left-wing politicians and lordly old-style Tories can be as snooty and outraged as they like about Cameron's choice of terms - but I guarantee it won't cost him or his party a single vote or shame a single Briton into not voicing doubts about the wisdom of allowing in yet more economic migrants from the Middle East.
