Why the love of England makes me sad

It took Melanie Phillips three years to find a publisher for her book "Londonistan". Three weeks ago, it was finally published and is a bestseller in England already.

The website of the German newspaper DIE WELT performed an interview with Melanie Phillips under the header "Bei uns ist der Terrorist das Opfer" (Here, The Terrorist Is The Victim), of which I post a short but decisive part here.

There are many of us that also love England and are sad.

We are sad for our parents and grandparents who have sacrificed so much for a 'better society' only to end up with this one.

We are sad for the loss of our identity and culture, as it seems that almost anything from a nursery rhyme to a union flag can be labelled 'offensive' now.

But mostly we are sad that we have watched the state turn against the indiginous people of this country, criminalise dissent, and hoodwink the majority with the myth of the multicultural society.
