The Miracle of MulticulturalismFrom the desk of A. Millar on Wed, 2008-03-12 09:32
British politicians are now running away from “multiculturalism,” yet it refuses to die. It’s simply too entrenched in British life to be expunged. Conservatives might think that the Labour government has created a monster, but the truth of the matter is it has created a religion. Like Chinese State-endorsed Buddhism it is not a real religion, but a proxy that must pronounce government policy rather than spiritual understanding.
Not surprisingly, the multicultural religion has aimed itself at the softest target – the semi-Christian, or post-Christian, White-British community – though no doubt in the belief that Hindus and Muslims would come along later once they had seen the light. Notably, just as the Church once changed the name of Yule to Christmas and made it a Christian holiday, so Christmas has been renamed Winterval in some quarters,
and is celebrated by believers as a multicultural holiday. We must denounce our past which, it has been discovered, is full of ‘sin’, and thus we see tearful, public ‘confessions’ of guilt by London Mayor Ken Livingstone, the Church of England, Prime Minister Tony Blair, etc.
The idea of multiculturalism itself is God – omnipresent, frequently invoked by name, yet largely indefinable. Naturally there is a Devil which may appear in pleasing forms, and a myth akin to that of the Tower of Babel – any politician championing the British citizen is speaking “the language of the B.N.P.” In contrast, the working classes have no voice, because just as the Christians once looked at the pagans, so the multiculturalist views them as the great unwashed. They alone seem not to believe in the great multicultural miracle: try as he might, Livingstone cannot turn water into wine.
