While the undoubted negative effects of immigration are often discussed by nationalists, I feel not enough time is given to the effects brought about by the opposite phenomenon – that of emigration. There is an obvious link between the two: as Britain is being further colonised by the third world, many are effectively seeking asylum in the Commonwealth countries of Canada, Australia and New Zealand and in Continental Europe. It is futile; what is happening in Britain is happening there too.

But this is not what I wish to highlight, for this is too obvious to warrant an article. It is the ones that are leaving and have already left because of a failure in government investment in the advancement of humanity with whom I am concerned. These people are our ‘ten percent’, our innovators and inventors, our great minds that further the progression in science and technology.

It seems Professor Stephen Hawking may be the latest casualty. His spokesman has said recently that he has criticised the government’s lack of funding for scientific research and their spending cuts to universities, and is considering a permanent move from Cambridge University to the Perimeter Institute in Ontario, Canada. What we are witnessing is what is known as a ‘brain drain’.

This is not a recent phenomenon. Our great and good have been leaving our shores in a steady flow since the early 1980s, when the Conservatives’ policy of laissez-faire capitalism meant a lack of government-sponsored research and left our brightest and best to be head-hunted by American mega-corporations. This has been followed up by New Labour’s preference to donate millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money towards keeping African dictators in the lap of luxury, towards forcibly taking over Middle Eastern oil rigs for personal gain, towards helping the Pakistanis and Palestinians in their efforts to found a worldwide caliphate, towards setting up the countless quangos run by ethnic minorities and special interest groups for ethnic minorities and special interest groups, and towards creating a nationwide surveillance system that can somehow detect children going to school in the wrong catchment area and yet turn a blind eye to the Muslim paedophile rings in Rotherham, Keighley and Oldham.

All worthy causes, I’m sure you’ll agree; but meanwhile our ten percent has been leaving in droves to America, where their research has been funded by the government and large forward-thinking corporations that know that today’s science fiction is tomorrow’s science fact. Therefore, it has been America, Japan and Germany that have led the world in scientific and technological advancement, where once it was Great Britain. The American computer and pharmaceutical industries in particular owe much of their success to the many British minds that have helped them blossom.

In the meantime, our economy has gone from bad to worse. It has only had the semblance of recovery during the early Thatcher and early Blair years because both sold off national assets to keep the economy going. But now the cupboard is bare and the government must face the hard truth that without our great minds and well-funded research to keep Britain at the forefront of scientific development, our economy will never recover.

While ever a socialist government is running the show, there can be no hope for a recovery; for the socialist obsession with ‘equality’ means that the brightest and best are held back and must look for better pastures. I am not a socialist, although it is true that I believe in certain socialist principles. I believe everyone should be able to earn a decent enough wage to raise a family. I believe that our elderly should be looked after when they’ve retired, instead of being carted off to the knackers’ yard like poor old Boxer in Animal Farm, for years of hard work should be rewarded. And I believe that our ill and disabled should be cared for properly instead of having to rely on charity. Ironically, these are the principles that the supposedly socialist party of this country has abandoned. Yet I am also an elitist. I believe that our finest minds should be looked after so that they are not lured away by foreign investors.

After all, surely it is better to keep our inventors and innovators that provide jobs for the masses in luxury than the thousands of vacuous celebrities that fill our television screens. But they too have a function. Their function is to repeat the ideological mantras of the ruling class; for they know that if people stopped to think for themselves for just one second, the whole house of cards would come tumbling down. At any rate, the impending economic disaster means that the whole leftist ideology will soon be exposed and rejected wholesale.

But until then, unless we learn from the mistakes of both socialist and capitalist principles, we will never get out of the quagmire. As long as the best of British keeps being replaced by third-worlders, we will continue spiralling down the economic abyss. The third world exists for a reason: third world minds created it. I hope that a nationalist government comes to power before the otherwise inevitable collapse of a once-great civilization. If not, it’s going to get terribly messy. And if his disability would let him just once, I’m sure Stephen Hawking would be shaking his head – in Canada.
