In seeking to do so, it encounters obstacles which are deeply rooted in human nature. One is that by the very order of things such evils are not demonstrable until they have occurred: at each stage in their onset there is room for doubt and for dispute whether they be real or imaginary. By the same token, they attract little attention in comparison with current troubles, which are both indisputable and pressing: whence the besetting temptation of all politics to concern itself with the immediate present at the expense of the future. Above all, people are disposed to mistake predicting troubles for causing troubles and even for desiring troubles: "If only," they love to think, "if only people wouldn't talk about it, it probably wouldn't happen." Perhaps this habit goes back to the primitive belief that the word and the thing, the name and the object, are identical. At all events, the discussion of future grave but, with effort now, avoidable evils is the most unpopular and at the same time the most necessary occupation for the politician. Those who knowingly shirk it deserve, and not infrequently receive, the curses of those who come after. A week or two ago I fell into conversation with a constituent, a young worker, quite ordinary working clansman employed in one of our great clan co-operatives in Kathmore. After a sentence or two about the weather, he suddenly said: "If I had the money to go, I wouldn't stay in Kathmore with the current way of living. I have three children, all of them been through state  school and two of them married now, with family. I shan't be satisfied till I have seen them all settled back in clan territory. In this country in 15 or 20 years' time the Akhadist man will have the whip hand over the clansman."I replied “We will defeat the evils of Akhadism. We will win Kathmore back.” I can already hear the chorus of execration from overseas. How dare I say such a horrible thing? How dare I stir up trouble and inflame feelings by repeating such a conversation? The answer is that I do not have the right not to do so. Here is a decent, ordinary fellow Strathae clansman, who in broad daylight in my own city  says to me, his own High Chief that his city will not be worth living in for his children. I simply do not have the right to shrug my shoulders and think about something else. What he is saying, thousands and hundreds of thousands are saying and thinking throughout the Kingdom of Strathae, especially in the areas that are already undergoing the total transformation to which there is no parallel in a thousand years of Strathaen history.An invasion going on at a rate not seen since the laurentian opression that forced the founding of our nation. In 15 or 20 years, on present trends, there will be in this country over 500,000 bigoted , sexist and homophobic Akhadist and Sentric immigrants and their descendants. That is not my figure. That is the official figure given to parliament by the spokesman of the Strathae Office of Statistics. There is no comparable official figure for the year 1650, but it must be in the region of 1.5- 2 million, just a bit more than the population of Kathmore and MacCarmaig combined. Of course, it will not be evenly distributed around Strathae in fact it will be concentrated in Kathmore. Whole areas, districts and communities will be occupied by immigrant-descended populations with alien values to our accepting , tolerant, multi-sexuality and multi-gendered democracy. As time goes on, the proportion of this total who are akhadist or Sentric immigrant descendants, those born in Strathae, who arrived here by exactly the same route as the rest of us, will rapidly increase. It is this fact which creates the extreme urgency of action now, of just that kind of action which is hardest for politicians to take, action where the difficulties lie in the present but the evils to be prevented or minimised lie several clan assemblies ahead. The natural and rational first question with a nation confronted by such a prospect is to ask: "How can its dimensions be reduced?" Granted it be not wholly preventable, can it be severely limited, bearing in mind that numbers are of the essence: the significance and consequences of an alien element introduced into a country or population are profoundly different according to whether that element is 5 per cent or 20 per cent. The answers to the simple and rational question are equally simple and rational: by stopping, or virtually stopping, further inflow, and by promoting the maximum outflow. Both answers are part of the official policy of the Party of Tradition. It almost passes belief that at this moment 10 or 15 additional immigrant children from bigoted cultures are arriving from overseas to Kathmore- and that means 10 or 15 additional families a decade or two hence. Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 8,000 bigoted dependants, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the bigoted culture immigrant-descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. So insane are we that we actually permit unmarried persons to immigrate for the purpose of founding a family with spouses and fiancés whom they have never seen. Let no one suppose that the flow of dependants will automatically tail off.. In these circumstances nothing will suffice but that the total inflow for settlement should be reduced at once to negligible proportions for immigrants from bigoted , homophobic and sexist cultures , and that the necessary legislative and administrative measures be taken without delay. I stress the words "bigoted, homophobic and sexist." This has nothing to do with the entry of non bigoted immigrants, any more than of aliens, into this country, for the purposes of study or of improving their qualifications, like (for instance) the non-bigoted immigrant doctors who, to the advantage of their own countries, have enabled our hospital service and our clan cooperatives to be expanded faster than would otherwise have been possible benefiting our people. They are not, and never have been, the bad type of immigrants. I turn to re-emigration. If all immigration ended tomorrow, the rate of growth of the immigrant and immigrant-descended population would be substantially reduced, but the prospective size of this element in the population would still leave the basic character of the national danger unaffected. This can only be tackled while a considerable proportion of the total still comprises persons who entered this country during the last ten years or so. Hence the urgency of implementing now the second element of the Party of Tradition's policy: the encouragement of re-entry to Strathae of those descended from the clans.Such a move is indeed necessary to encourage the growth of real Strathaen values and traditions and to encourage skills  and most importantly re-import more people of Strathen values.Such a policy is indeed needed to protect our culture and make sure true Strathaen culture is always in the majority. The third element of the Party of Tradition’s policy is that all who are in this country as citizens should be equal before the law and that there shall be no discrimination or difference made between them by public authority in the regions of Kathmore and MacCarmaig, one united Strathae living under the values of acceptance of lgbt, acceptance of womens equality , unity of Strathaens and protection of our sacred environment.We will have no "religious exemptions” either you accept these values or you damn well go back home to your backwards societies where you can be a homophobic, sexist and bigoted asshole.You accept Strathaen values or you leave Strathae.There could be no grosser misconception of tolerance than the one by which so called liberals propose. The idea that one must tolerate intolerance or else be seen as intolerant. No there is no room for the tolerating of the intolerant, for such tolerance will inevitably lead to the destruction of said tolerant society. It is not kind to the moderates of those in the Akhadist faith and Sentric faith who truly follow those values of acceptance and love nor on the Strathaen population, nor on women and nor on the LGBT who will inevitably suffer the hate of the extremist dangerous Akhadist and Sentrecist. Indeed you only have to look at the Sentrecist NGP spreading homophobia among their supporters in Goldecia, you only have to look at the streets of Vanet under the DA and of socialist “liberal” Rambouillet to see the results of tolerating such intolerance. Ask yourself this would you rather be gay or female in Strathae or gay or female in Rambouillet where daily gay people and women are attacked daily just for holding hands, “not dressing modestly” or a white person is attacked because “this is not a neighbourhood for you whites.” This is the type of discrimination that thrives when one lets such intolerance takes hold and stops expecting the same of the bigoted immigrant population allowing them to bring their evil bigoted cultures.What you get is intolerance taking over entire sections of the city.You only have to look at these examples to see the dangers of allowing a fifth column of Akhadists and Sentrecists to grow in your very midst. This is why to enact legislation of the kind before the clan assembly allowing the intolerant to exist in our midst  at this moment is to risk throwing a match on to gunpowder. The kindest thing that can be said about those who propose and support it is that they know not what they do. Nothing is more misleading than comparison between the Akhadist and Sentric  immigrant in Strathae and the good immigrant. The good immigrant comes with good intentions , works hard and lives within our values system. The Akhadist and Sentric extremists do not, they demand their law, they are cruel to animals, they endanger lgbt individuals and endanger women who have the “audacity” to not force on themselves the Akhadist or Sentric standard of dress.In short these bigoted individuals destroy the very society and freedoms they came to enjoy for themselves while using these very mechanisms to bring in their disgusting oppressive religious laws. This is all done all the meanwhile without consultation of the local population, without any thought as to how it will impact the future. The Kathmore we know and love could very much be destroyed within 50 years, being an alien city within our nation.And it's not just the effects of the bigotry but the isolation such communities engage in that causes damage. They identify as Akhadist or Sentric but not Strathaen. That breaks unity of the nation, they seek to abolish the clan culture that makes our nation the great nation it is. In short they are a threat to the very stability of society. In the thousands upon thousands of letters I have received since becoming High Chief, there was one striking feature which was largely new and which I find ominous. All Clan Assembly Members are used to the typical anonymous correspondent; but what surprised and alarmed me was the high proportion of ordinary, decent, sensible people, writing a rational and often well-educated letter, who believed that they had to omit their address because it was dangerous to have committed themselves to paper to a Clan Assembly Member agreeing with the views I had expressed, and that they would risk penalties or reprisals if they were known to have done so at the international level or with their jobs. The sense of being a persecuted majority which dare not challenge the radical change in their own communities for fear of international condemnation which is growing among ordinary Strathaen people in the areas of the country with these Akhdaistist populations is one I empaphise with, I go to my home street occaisonally the streets where I spent my teens. Now sometimes they resemble Tambossa more than Strathae, I feel like a stranger in my own country. I am going to allow just one of those hundreds of people to speak for me: “Eight years ago in a respectable street in Kathmore a house was sold to a Akhadist. Now only one gay clan strathaen lives there. This is her story. She lost her husband and both her sons in the line of duty in service to the police. So she turned her seven-roomed house, her only asset, into a boarding house. She worked hard and did well, paid off her mortgage and began to put something by for her old age. Then the immigrants moved in. With growing fear, she saw one house after another taken over. The quiet street became a place of noise and confusion. Regretfully, her clan strathaen tenants moved out. “One day walking down the street 18:00 at night she was holding hands with her partner. A normal event to her mind. 5 Akhadists started shouting homophobic abuse, they demanded she stop holding hands since this offended them. When she refused she was set upon by the 5 Akhadist youth. She was attacked with such ferocity she had all her bones broken and was left bleeding in the street , bleeding to death . They left her to die with her partner and they would have attacked her girlfriend if it hadn’t have been for the sirens of the police and ambulance called for by her girlfriend.The lady is now scared to go out at night or in the day, she is scared to leave her house to shop and she cannot move, no non-akhadist will buy the house, and she does not wish to sell the last non-akhadist owned house to akhadists. And why should she?” The other dangerous delusion from which those who are willfully or otherwise blind to realities suffer, is summed up in the word "integration." To be integrated into a population means to become for all practical purposes indistinguishable from its other members. Now, at all times, where there are marked differences, especially of religous, integration is difficult though, over a period, not impossible. There are among the immigrants who have come to live here in the last fifteen years or so, many thousands whose wish and purpose is to be integrated and whose every thought and endeavour is bent in that direction. But to imagine that such a thing enters the heads of a great and growing majority of the streams of immigrants from bigoted , homophobic and sexist cultures and religious groups and their descendants is a ludicrous misconception, and a dangerous one. We are on the verge here of a change. Hitherto it has been force of circumstance and of background which has rendered the very idea of integration inaccessible to the greater part of the immigrant population - that they never conceived or intended such a thing, and that their numbers and physical concentration meant the pressures towards integration which normally bear upon any small minority did not operate. Now we are seeing the growth of positive forces acting against integration, of vested interests in the preservation and sharpening of religious differences, with a view to the exercise of actual domination, first over fellow-immigrants and then over the rest of the population. The cloud no bigger than a man's hand, that can so rapidly overcast the sky, has been visible recently in small parts of Kathmore and has shown signs of spreading quickly, indeed the desire for domination was shown in the proposal of a grossly oversized Akhadist Temple designed to proclaim the dominance of Akhadism over all. The words I am about to use, verbatim as they appeared in the local press on 17 February, are not mine, but those of a Clan Socialist Clan Assembly Member who is a shadow minister in the shadow cabinet: 'The Akhadist communities' campaign to maintain customs inappropriate in Strathae is much to be regretted. Working in Strathae, particularly in the public services and clan co-operatives they should be prepared to accept the terms and conditions of their employment. To claim special religious rights (or should one say rites?) leads to a dangerous fragmentation within society. This attitude of special entitlement is a canker; whether practised by one religious or another it is to be strongly condemned.' All credit to Éimhín Murdoch McRoibeirt for having had the insight to perceive that, and the courage to say it. For these dangerous and divisive elements proposed by the liberal loonies who say we should tolerate intolerance as part of democracy  is the very pabulum they need to flourish. Here is the means of showing that the bigoted, homophobic and sexist immigrant communities especially among the Akhadists and certain messianic groups can organise to consolidate their members, to agitate and campaign against their fellow citizens, and to overawe and dominate the rest with the weapon of having their intolerance tolerated which the ignorant and the ill-informed have provided. As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the early Eskkyan Strathaen Clansmen, I seem to see "the Gaels and streets of Kathmore foaming with much blood." That tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror just on the other side of the border but which there is interwoven with the history, is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect. Indeed, it has all but come. In numerical terms, it will be of Eskkyan proportions long before the end of the century. Indeed now it is not the Laurentian culture invasion but instead the invasion of Akhadism and Sentrecism. Only resolute and urgent action will avert it even now. Whether there will be the public will to demand and obtain that action, I do not know. But I certainly hope we can be in a position to defend the very values that make us Strathae and our ancestors shed their very blood for. All I know is that to see, and not to speak letting Kathmore be invaded by the forces of evil and intolerance would be the great betrayal.
