About the Book
The narrative of 'Stop the Boats' has divided the debate over UK immigration into 'racists' (who want to control immigration) and 'anti-racists' (who welcome all and any number of refugees). But while 110,000 illegal immigrants have entered the UK over the last three years, between 2021 and 2023 some 1.369 million immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian subcontinent entered legally. If this rate of immigration continues - and everything indicates that it will - two questions arise: 1) How and where will the UK build a city the size of Glasgow every year to house them? And 2) given they're not all doctors, scientists and engineers, what have these immigrants been brought here to do? By analysing United Nations policy documents, this book shows that replacement immigration is a trillion-dollar industry, and its goals, as such, are not the sudden conversion of Western governments to the multiform benefits of 'diversity' but those being served by the capitalisation of both elites and immigrants to rearrange global supply chains, lower labour costs, and in doing so increase the profits of multinational corporations. The data compiled in this book has been published by the United Nations, the European Commission, the UK Government, the Ministry of Justice, the Office for National Statistics, the Office for Budget Responsibility, the Social Mobility Commission, The House of Commons Library, the Resolution Foundation, Statista and other news publishers. In publishing it, the author intends to make known to the British public the official data about UK immigration. From this data, he draws tentative but logical conclusions that - unlike the UK Government and mainstream media - he invites the reader to interrogate and challenge. By providing the empirical data for debate on a topic of national concern, the aim of this book is to raise public awareness of the reality of replacement immigration, its policy origins, its corporate lobbying, its economic motivations, its ideological promotion, its political implementation, its legal enforcement, and of the impact it has already had and will have in the future. In doing so, the book aims to provide a discursive framework within which the people of Britain can discuss immigration free of the accusations of racism, dismissals as a conspiracy theorist, charges of hate speech or threats of arrest with which this much-needed debate has been silenced and criminalised in the UK today.
