A Nazi Racist is ill.
A dealy virus: the Royal family
History lesson
Surely this country gave a warm welcome in the past to refugees - such as those escaping the Nazis? Not so.
According to Whitehall And The Jews, 1933-1948 (Cambridge University
Press), Louise London’s definitive account of British immigration policy
and the Holocaust, “The process...was designed to keep out large
numbers of European Jews - perhaps 10 times as many as it let in.”
Around 70,000 had been admitted by the outbreak of the war, but British
Jewish associations had some half a million more case files of those who
had not.
Although British immigration policy was liberalised after
Kristallnacht - the pogrom launched by Goebbels in November 1938, in
which dozens of Jews were killed and more than 1,000 synagogues burned
down - London challenges the idea that prewar Britain was a haven for
those fleeing Nazi brutality. “The myth was born that Britain did all it
could for the Jews between 1933 and 1945. This comfortable view has
proved remarkably durable, and is still adduced to support claims that
Britain has always admitted genuine refugees, and that the latest harsh
measures against asylum seekers are merely designed to exclude bogus
applicants. .
What’s more, those that were granted entry were admitted only because
the Jewish community guaranteed that it would bear all the expenses of
accommodation and maintenance, with no burden placed on the public
purse.
Elsewhere, Canada accommodated only 5,000 European Jews between
1933 and 1945, Australia 10,000, South Africa some 6,000. And the US’s
unyielding quota system meant that, between 1933 and 1937, only 33,000
German Jews were admitted (and only 124,000 between 1938 and 1941).
Astonishingly, Britain’s postwar record isn’t much better.
Although
the immediate aftermath of the second world war saw the arrival of a
large number of refugees, very few were Jewish Holocaust survivors.
British postwar immigration policy deliberately excluded Jews.
Danny Thomas, who is bodyguard to political agitator Tommy Robinson, was
given two years after three thugs tried to snatch a man at knifepoint.
The gang mistakenly believed their victim had stolen drugs worth £10,000.
Thomas has risen to prominence on the far right since being released from prison last year.
He
has appeared gloating at the side of English Defence League founder
Robinson, 36,
Thomas has also appeared with Mr Batten and travelled to Germany to campaign with anti-Islamic group Pegida.
“I’ve got no problem with legal immigration if we are helping people
from war torn countries, like we did with the Jews in World War Two.
Danny Tommo, just like English Defence League founder Tommy (Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon) Robinson, and neo-fascist, xenophobic, racist scum.

But then the BBC are part of the problem: Islamophobic
