UK Countryside Tainted by 'Racist Colonial Legacies', Report Claims
BNN Breaking ^ | 07 Feb 2024 | Rafia Tasleem

A report to the UK Parliament by the Wildlife and Countryside Link claims that 'racist colonial legacies' influence the British countryside, creating barriers for ethnic minorities in accessing green spaces. The report advocates a 'rights-based approach' to accessing these spaces and links Britain's role in the colonial project to current environmental crises.

The British countryside, often considered a serene escape and a symbol of national heritage, is under scrutiny. A recent report submitted to the UK Parliament by the Wildlife and Countryside Link, a coalition of wildlife charities, asserts that these verdant landscapes bear the marks of 'racist colonial legacies'. The report contends that such legacies create hurdles for ethnic minorities in accessing these green spaces.

So imagine immigrating to another country and then turning around and accusing the people of that country of being racist and having their own spaces in the countryside.

This nonsense has got to end.

British countryside landowners should should give away land they’ve owned for a hundred years or more to the muzzies.

“The overall size of the Colonial Service changed greatly through the 20th century. In 1900 there were only about 1,000 overseas posts. There was an expansion after the First World War, then a slow-down during the 1930s, with an estimated number of about 8,000 in 1938. Numbers boomed after the Second World War, rising to just over 11,000 posts in 1947, and a peak of about 18,000 in 1954. Thereafter the size of the Service shrank rapidly as most territories attained independence”

“The first responsibility of the Colonial Administrative Service on was the maintenance of law and order. However, contrary to popular belief, this was largely implemented through the agency of indigenous police forces, local courts, district councils and local chiefs although there were variations between the different territories. In practice, Administrative Officers spent much of their time, especially after World War Two, in supervising and coordinating development of all kinds in their districts including medical services, schools, infrastructure, water supply, and provision of agricultural and veterinary services.”

In other words, imposing oppressive white standards on the native peoples.

Sure there are remnants of colonialism in Britain

Britain has been invaded numerous times over the centuries.

Invaded by Irish, Danes, Normans, Spanish, Romans, Vikings and I am sure peoples yet to be discovered.

Some studies even claim some African people invade Britain.

Well, I guess the karen minorities could always just leave. In fact I think that’s an outstanding idea!

I’m no fan of the British system of Kings and Queens and Lords and Ladies, but those stone walls weren’t built to keep out Muslims and blacks, but the local white peasants.

Hadrian’s Wall was built to protect the subjugated Britons under Roman rule from the free inhabitants of Scotland.

Caucasians are 8.5% of world population and falling(not without help of Slavs slaughtering Slavs) .

When it’s over, the oppressed minorities will build a White Clay idol, and pray to it to bring back the toilet paper and blondes.

The Brits call natives employed by the crown WOGS. That is often referred to as racist. But the truth is it didn’t indicate race or color

WOG- Working On Government (apocryphal: circa 1900s British Empire acronym stenciled on shirts of laborers assigned to government projects)

If mankind survives and maintains a civilization for another quarter billion years, racial differences will be rare. We'll (or they'll) all be a pleasant shade of beige!

Yes, North African pirates raided the English coast in historical times, just like the Vikings.

I was in London on business in 1992. I talked with a taxi driver who was a WW2 army vet. He flew a large Union Jack outside his home in London.

Some Pakistani immigrants were suing him, claiming emotional distress from seeing his flag. They were on welfare, living in council flats. (that’s apartments owned by the local city council, rented very cheaply to local residents)

They said that they did not want to see the flag, and be reminded that they were in England.

It was a big story, all over the media.
