That's all well and good if you're talking about Poland from 1945 until
the end of Soviet occupation as the Soviet Union was in its death
throes. I'm talking about the last couple of decades. As I understand
it, they are strongly and successfully resisting the mass migration from

But
too many of the newcomers and demanding big changes and both Labour and
the Conservatives seem to have kowtowed to that in order to get their
votes. Reform is poised to win big on May 7's local elections with
Labour taking a huge hit and the already marginalized Conservatives
being further damaged. If they don't fuck things up too badly, Reform is >likely to win a majority in the next national elections. Nigel Farage
seems to still resist large scale deportations but he's facing pressure
on his right and may yet go that way if he has to do it to win.
I don't know what immigration levels were like in the Thatcher/Major
years and you may well be right that they were negligible during that >recession. I'm saying that her (or Major's) government had said
*something* - I'm not sure what - that had a prominent Labour leader
declare that they were going to show the "racist" Tories a thing or two
by bringing in masses of foreigners. I wish I could give you chapter and >verse on exactly what was said by who and under which precise
circumstances but I don't know and I don't know how to find out exactly.
If I had the exact quote, I could search for the rest but I've had to >paraphrase because I don't recall the exact details. But the gist of the >statement has been remembered by conservatives and gets restated
regularly. The massive increase in immigration under Blair was
apparently accomplished because of a desire to get revenge on Tories who >were deemed repugnant because they didn't cherish floods of foreigners

I bet that when the new flood of migrants from Pakistan and Afghanistan >arrives in the shires, the native Brits will be looking back fondly on the >good ol' days when they only had to deal with a few Poles.

During the Brexit vote, since the UK had long had a population from the
rest of the former British empire especially from India (and Pakistan
after partition), the anti-immigrant sentiment was largely anti-Polish
as they moved to rural England in the same areas that already had high unemployment.
I think this will end in civil war which I wouldn't guarantee our side
winning. Either that, or our elites will just give up and open all the
doors wide before we can stop them.
Why isn't retaining liberal values an option? The whole point of
liberalism is that illiberal sentiments are rejected as harmful to the liberty of individuals.
But again, in order to maintain liberty, one must exercise it, not just
leave to others willing to face arrest in the face of police failing to protect liberal values.
