Blair: "Things can only get better."
The Government’s 450-page report into inequality in Britain points to the failure of Labour’s 1996 pledge to raise the living standards of the poorest “by the end of its time in office”.
The “Anatomy of Economic Inequality in the UK” report describes Britain as a place where inequality and an enduring class system has trapped Britain’s poorest in a cycle of hopeless under-achievement.
Singled out most are white boys who are described as doing particularly badly under Labour where the study found that only 6% of those eligible for free school meals (i.e. any child whose parents earn less than £16,500 per year or are on benefits) went on to university. In the reports summary it found that those from minority ethnic groups with GCSE results around or below the national median are much more likely to go on to higher education than white pupils with similar results. Children with Chinese, Indian and Black backgrounds now have higher education qualifications than the equivalent White British population.
But despite these new trends nearly all minority ethnic groups are less likely to be in paid employment than white men and women. 44 per cent of Pakistani and 49 per cent of Bangladeshi women are economically inactive, because they are looking after family or home, compared to 20 per cent or fewer of other groups. Around 80 per cent of White British, other White (Irish, Polish etc), and Indian men are in paid work, but between 60 and 70 per cent of other groups.
This report is important for the liberal Establishment when it tries to understand the incremental rise in BNP support over the last five years. It clearly shows that the election of Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons to the European Parliament is not because because of some inexplipable growth in intolerance towards minorities and seasonal resentment towards politicians.
It is because of the bona fide grievances about feeling socially, economically and culturally excluded from Britain (the report outlines the sense of economic isolation).
It is about the failure of government policy to address the adverse effects of cultural and economic globalisation on hard-working families who have lost their livelihood, their communities and their sense of security (the RDAs, the tax-credits, the skills councils, the early schools intervention – well-meaning but ultimately ineffective, wasteful initiatives that have failed to provide real hope and employment for hard-hit families).
The government’s multicultural approach has also contributed. The immigration integration policy has exacerbated the creation of ghettos and the failure to give new arrivals a sense of Britishness. Multi-culturalism has provided the mechanics for many of the interventions that address inequality by defining someone’s needs by their religion or the colour of their skin (see post on the DLG’s Tackling Race Inequality report). These have made Britain more divided and fractured than ever before.
Nick Griffin and the BNP may seek to use these figures to their political advantage by saying that this prove that Britain’s white working class have lost out during a time of prosperity for the rest of the country. He is right.
However, he is wrong to suggest there is a conspiracy to cleanse Britain of its indigenous population. The problems in our society stem from government the policy failures to address very real issues facing hard-working families during an industrial revolution that has left many of them unable to compete in the world economy and uncomfortable in their own homes, and they should be held accountable for this.

I guess you “white boys” are doing ok, you’ll be favoured by the next government.
As for us “white boys” under New Labour……..hmm….not so good.
We also doubt we will see much difference under the Conservatives.
That D:ream video reminds us that this was New Labour’s first lie, that things seemed to get better but really were getting a whole lot worse.
Hot debate. What do you think?

Sorry but it is a fact that in some areas, white ethnic cleansing has taken place, call it white flight if you want but some schools that were white are now not.
In some areas whites sell houses to Asians but never the other way around.

Land & People has said, on many occasions, that the greatest avoidable threat to Britain’s environment is overpopulation. Furthermore we have pointed out repeatedly that the greatest cause of overpopulation is immigration, with the astounding levels of births to certain migrant communities a close second! Put bluntly, no one can reasonably claim that mass immigration is anything other than a disaster for this country’s environment – except for brain-dead liberals and the thieving advocates of multiculturalism within the anti-British EU collaborator parties infesting the House of Commons.
Land & People has also long maintained that the Lib-Lab-Con CONSPIRACY to destroy the British nation states in general and the English nation state in particular is just that – a conspiracy – and not an unfortunate consequence of bad policy as some would have us believe.
To underscore this point we would like all visitors to ponder a few sentences snipped from yesterday’s (23rd October) Daily Telegraph in which it is clearly stated that the mass immigration of recent years is a product of a vile Labour plan to swamp Britain in a hate-crazed bid to destroy our native communities. Although welcome, the Telegraph article is dishonest in two respects. The first being that this process has been going on for half a century – not the last decade. Secondly, that the traitorous Tories, a party editorially backed by the Telegraph, is just as responsible as Labour. The article begins:-
The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and “rub the Right’s nose in diversity”, according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.
He said Labour’s relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to “open up the UK to mass migration” but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its “core working class vote”.
As a result, the public argument for immigration concentrated instead on the economic benefits and need for more migrants.
Critics said the revelations showed a “conspiracy” within Government to impose mass immigration for “cynical” political reasons.
You can read the rest by following the link below – remember if you substitute “Lib-Lab-Con” for “Labour” in the piece, you get much more closer to the truth.

Odd it has disappeared!
But I found this instead “Rape victim receives 101 lashes for becoming pregnant
A 16-year-old girl who was raped in Bangladesh has been given 101 lashes for conceiving during the assault.
The rapist was pardoned!

Perhaps Bethell and his mates should start a policy of promoting a meritocracy within British society. A policy of promoting people with the “right” accent or old school tie, still persists in ” old blightey ” ; liitle wonder that education is not neccesarily enthusiastically embraced by working class whites. They have experienced the effects of discrimination before: from the upper middle class.
disclaimer – i am no lefty by any stretch of the imagination.
