In a speech probably at sometime today, someone you’ve never heard of who -apparently - is in the government, will claim that, in most cases, those categorised as part of a so-called ‘ethnic minority’ are not now as disadvantaged as in the past.
In his speech, the non-entity goes on to say:
If racism is, indeed, on the wane then it will be a major problem for those of us on the political Left. We have, on the Left, since the working class turned their backs on us and opted for aspiration, always presented ourselves as champions of the various minorities, some of which we have had to invent for the purpose, so that we can increase the influence of the state in people’s lives.
So, unless we can reignite this waning racism, perhaps by creating some kind of panic over the BNP, or create some hidden ‘racist agenda’ out of what few Conservative policies there are, we will have to find some other minority that we can pretend to champion, or risk losing some of the massive gains we have made in social control and social engineering of this country throughout the lifetime of this government.
As you know, the last twelve years have shown this to be a very successful strategy for those of us in government, our various quangos and other such bodies, who have insinuated ourselves into the ordinary day-to-day lives of the people in this country on an unprecedented scale.
Obviously, when we claim to represent, speak for and champion these various minorities, it is not – obviously - necessary for us to actually do anything about their plight, especially as in a lot of cases we have invented both the victim group and its apparent plight, disadvantage, and exaggerated the prejudice and so forth it is supposedly suffering, mainly to increase our control over society and the people within it.
Remember, in summation, it is not our business to better the lot of these various ‘minority’ groups, but to keep them in their current positions and increase the tension between the various groups in order for us to have an excuse to increase governmental participation in, and control of, every aspect of people’s lives.
The government is busy trying to get a new ‘equalities’ bill through parliament before the forthcoming election in order to increase its involvement in many more aspects of people’s lives, claiming that it will make society ‘fairer’ and more ‘equal’, despite those two qualities being almost polar opposites of each other. But, as the above speech makes clear, all these measures are really concerned with increasing government control of, and involvement in, what used to be known as people’s private lives.
Once it lost the traditional working class, the Labour party set itself up to as a champion of these various ‘minority’ client groups in order to gain power. As it various client groups competed between themselves, the Labour government set itself the task of arbitrating between them, ostensibly to promote their interests, but in reality to increase its involvement in the lives of those it placed in those various groupings. This made each group more and more dependant on the government to resolve their problems, most of which were created by the increasing government involvement, intervention and meddling.
However, a Conservative spokesman responded to the speech by saying:
Of course, the waning of racism is not just a problem for the Labour party. We on the Right have often used the fear of the other, the outsider, as a way of increasing our control over society too. So we will also have to, as race as an issue becomes increasingly irrelevant, have to look at finding some other dividing line that separates ‘them’ and ‘us’, and how if we - when we are in government – are all that stands between the Great British way of life and these forces of anarchy, disorder, chaos and those mysteriously potent strange outsiders who want to have darkly erotic sex with our wives.
