Loanna Morrison is the Conservative prospective parliamentary candidate for Bermondsey and Old Southwark.
“Britain is full,” declares Nick Griffin at every opportunity, and he is right. Labour’s total failure to control immigration has resulted in a London that long-term residents do not recognise; its relentless legislative drive towards ‘multiculturalism’ has created a society they are struggling to understand.
We no longer have neighbourhoods, but a warped mosaic of ‘communities’ as Labour and the Lib Dems have reconstructed that term: tiny colonies organised by skin colour, religion or nationality and forced into competition for resources. Mistrust, crime, extremism - these are the unmitigated and entirely predictable results of a decade of uncontrolled immigration and the multicultural project. I say this as the first black Parliamentary Candidate for the Conservative Party in Bermondsey and Old Southwark.
An openly racist political party can only flourish under a Labour government. In the 1970s under the previous one, the National Front clashed with immigrants on the streets of Britain. Thirty years later under New Labour they are clashing on our TV screens and legitimised as members of the European Parliament. Their resurgence finds its origins in the very same issues; fear of losing their national identity and the consequences of being flooded with ‘others’ who change the character of their towns and cities. In 1979, many of the these concerns raised by the National Front subsided after the Conservatives came to power, only to re-emerge today on the national political platform as the British National Party, again under, wait for it, a Labour Government!
Most readers will associate the constituency of Bermondsey and Old Southwark with the infamous by-election of 1983, in which the Liberal Democrats’ Simon Hughes gained the seat after one of the dirtiest campaigns of modern times. Those with slightly longer memories may also recall it as the setting of a vicious National Front campaign against the area’s black population during the dark days of the 1970s.
Bermondsey is an area of many ingrained prejudices as many generations of families living in the area have seen the demographic change dramatically under the Labour Government and the local Liberal Democrats who waste extraordinary amounts of money on promoting ‘diversity.’ But instead of eliminating this prejudice, they have entrenched it. Southwark is the only London Borough that has had either a NF or a BNP candidate at every election.
