Shock poll shows rising tide of right-wing nationalism
The Daily Mirror ^ | February 27, 2011 | Vincent Moss

Almost half the country would back a new right-wing party that vowed to crack down on immigration and Islamic extremists, a shock poll reveals today.

They would also restrict the ­building of mosques and order the flag of St George or the Union Jack be flown on all public buildings.

The revelations will spark fresh fears of racial tension in Britain amid a new wave of support for extreme right-wing parties like the British National Party and the English Defence League.

Findings of the survey, the largest of its kind and involving 5,054 people, are in a major report called Fear and Hope – the New Politics of Identity, which examines views on race, ­immigration and multi-culturalism. Former Foreign Secretary David Miliband and campaigning left-wing MP Jon Cruddas will officially unveil the report, produced for the ­Searchlight Education Trust, tomorrow.

Thirty-four per cent said ­immigration should be stopped permanently or until the economy improved. The report also found opposition comes from all races, not just “white Britons”. And 52 per cent of Britons agree that “Muslims ­create problems in the UK”.

The only thing that shocks me about any of this, is the fact that the West is so far gone, that some find holding these sorts of views shocking.

Only a far left nutbar would be shocked by the impulse for self preservation in western societies.

So much for the purposeful introduction of the state religion of Multiculturalism to overcome British Nationalism.

Didn’t work out so well, did it, boys?

We must not allow this to destroy this nation - the Fed Reserve / banksters are just as evil.

I always said I have faith that, when push comes to shove, Europe would rally. This is going to get bloody, but the right will win-and win big.

It’s shocking that people want to see their national flag flown on all public buildings?

“Muslims ­create problems in the UK”, what about German Interloper Monarchs?

Perhaps you could sort out your own interloper monarchs before worrying about ours?

QE2 is doing just fine (the Queen, not the bailout!)

Do any of the liberals who advocate for the rights of “Native Americans” also support the rights of “Native Britons?” I doubt it - it doesn’t fit their template, which is to weaken the West.

They never considered it necessary to poll british public as to how they felt about their idea, just like leftists could care less about what the American public thinks.

Leftism is tyrannical. Its as antithetical to western ideals of openness and freedom as is Islam.

In England I don't know. They're probably too far gone, but the Continentals will likely wake up violently.

Yes, instead of the people electing a new government, we have the governments electing a new people. The same thing the left is doing here.

We are hooked at the Hip thanks to the Late 19th and ALL of the 20th Century. We ingnored our founders’ admonition to “avoid intangling alliances” and got ourselves into a series of foreign wars starting in around 1890. As Great Britain goes today the US will be there 10 years later.

Liberals/Marxists think any country that defends its European roots is a right-wing extremist—even when that country is in Europe.

Funny, the same liberals/Marxists that cried about European and American imperialism for decades think it is perfectly acceptable when the barbarians invade European countries and the United States.
