Strange, I keep hearing about how it's the 'evil white people' who "oppress, dominate, and subjugate" other cultures around the world
The staff seems overwhelmingly white. Shouldn't they be offering to step down from Mt. Olympus in the interest of diversity and multi-culturism?
Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe.
That seems an extreme comparison... at first. Ultimately, it could certainly go in that direction.
The U.N. and legislation which partners with U.N. initiatives is largely to blame for the changing face of the U.K. The following is from a Q&A webpage on the Kirklees, West Yorkshire website. Note the evasive answer to the "Illegal Immigrants" question... evidently the U.K. has adopted the term "asylum seeker" to cover all such "immigrants".
It's interesting, nonetheless, that "Why can't we just get rid of the lot of them" made it to an online Q&A list.
**************
Q: Why do we allow asylum seekers into Kirklees?
A: Under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 newly arrived asylum seekers are dispersed across the UK away from the hard pressed local authorities in London and the South East. Kirklees Council is part of the Yorkshire & Humberside Consortium who contracts with the Home Office to provide accommodation.
Q: Where do the asylum seekers who arrive in Kirklees come from?
A: They are mainly Kurds from Iraq, Farsi speakers from Iran and Afghanistan and French and English speaking Africans. A smaller number come from Bosnia and Pakistan.
Q: Why should asylum seekers be allowed to receive benefits and free services?
A: Asylum seekers are not allowed to claim mainstream welfare benefits. They receive 70% of regular income support - so asylum seekers are forced to live 30% below the poverty line. The UK gives asylum seekers less financial support than some other European countries such as Belgium, Ireland and Denmark.
Q: Why don't we just send all illegal immigrants back to where they came from?
A: Refugees are people who have been forced to flee their homes. It is often impossible for them to apply in their home countries, leaving them no choice in where they claim asylum. Often governments refuse to issue passports to known political dissidents and they may risk imprisonment if they apply. The UK has specific legal obligations towards asylum seekers on British territory.
Sending asylum seekers back to persecution violates international human rights standards. Article 33 of the 1951 UN Convention for Refugees prohibits the UK expelling or returning a refugee until their case is heard. Many asylum seekers are well-educated professionals who may have left behind good jobs and a decent standard of living.

“The Government should also explore the idea of making voting in elections a compulsory ‘civic act’.”
This little gem stands out quite a bit. Mandatory voting would ensure Labour a stranglehold on the government for generations.
Yes, and they're counting on the "don't be ridiculous!" factor. It's been hugely successful so far.
Re the "illegal immigrants" question, who wouldn't want to welcome self-described "asylum seekers" with no authentic proof of identity with open arms?
It's like watching a slow-motion train wreck.
At your service!
AMEN!
Liberals should be banished off the planet.
I'm working toward that goal, and I know that MANY others here are as well........

That looks like quite an interesting movie....sadly, I am only seeing that as being available from an eBay seller as a German-language version with Japanese subtitles.
Being a stoat that doesn't speak either German or Japanese, it appears that I will not be able to see the movie.
((((((sad)))))
I think not.
The Soviets had no ideological misgivings about their chosen path.....they would still be engaged in a combination of bloody takeovers of weaker countries, internal gulags and endless bread lines to this day had it not been for their economic collapse (Thank You Ronald Reagan)..
One thing that the Left never does is say "I'm sorry, I was wrong". They will continue on their path only until they are forcibly prevented from proceeding by an unstoppable force.
Hopefully our British Friends will do just that before it's too late.
The exception will be made based upon the (darkly) shining principles of Diversity and Reaching Out to Other Cultures.
If such hogwash as these Orwellian / Hitlerian recommendations are allowed to gain a foothold and are accepted into Law, then all of the sacrifices of the countless Patriots who have Ever given their lives for Great Britain will have been for naught.
Look no further my friend we train them in our Universities.
As Pogo once said "we have found the enemy and he is us.
