Expect rampant "white flight" from our urban areas as the state turns against us

A never-ending stream of reports about state-sanctioned, anti-white racism have become a wrecking ball against the prospect of a harmonious society.

SO THERE I was in my last article lamenting my recently-acquired habit of “totting-up” the impact of policies on my own white British group and wishing a wise Labour minister would call a halt to the whole DEI, “white privilege” nonsense that is so corroding our society.

And immediately afterwards two new and infuriating stories landed – Thames Valley Police trainees being made to lament their own “white privilege” and West Yorkshire Police allowing non-whites to apply early for job vacancies, before white candidates are permitted to lodge applications.

West Yorkshire Chief Constable John Robbins wants to go even further and legalise direct preference for minority candidates even when there could be a white candidate better qualified for a position.

What’s more, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, whose own constituency lies within the West Yorkshire Police domain, is perfectly fine with what is happening because she wants to see police staff align with the communities they police and at the moment the force is whiter than the local population.

Cooper suggests final recruitment must still be based on merit but this is pure sophistry given the exposure of West Yorkshire’s “gold, silver, bronze” categorisation of recruits by ethnicity.

Yet it is about as reasonable to ascribe the under-representation of people of Jamaican or Albanian or Vietnamese ethnic origin in the police to racism as it is to ascribe the under-representation of Indians, or Chinese or Jews in professional football to the same factor.

Obviously, there are cultural factors at play in both cases. So long as police forces, like elite football clubs, are open to talent we should leave them to pick by merit alone and get rid of the DEI staff and monitoring apparatus. And we should have faith that Britain is a pretty fair country in which a hard-working person is able to rise in his chosen occupation (though given current tax thresholds not necessarily to become a prosperous homeowner).

Instead, leftist fanatics are tearing the country apart and inviting incomers to believe white British people are bigots and the offspring of imperial overlords who owe them apologies, reparations and special fast-track promotion schemes. This is an insane attitude to try and inculcate in new arrivals.

Twice recently on the London Underground there have been people on my carriage playing their personal stereos loud without headphones. On both occasions the miscreants were young black males (I am sure that all ethnic groups have people who do this by the way). Each time, I have been aware that for me to issue a challenge to
