England, described by an English immigrant as the country where freedom was lost so long ago that the English don’t even realize they aren’t free. Yet it finally seems to be dawning on some just how corrosive multiculturalism is.
Brick Lane is a glorious streak of neon and curry, of clubbers and fundamentalists, of old Jewish immigrant stories and new Muslim ones, in the guts of the East End. It is my home, and over the past week I have been sharing it with a little news story – and with another small sign that free speech in Britain is slowly sandpapered down by reactionary mini-mobs.
Read it and despair.
