Grim reality of why the West's white race is now a dying breed
We will have to change societal rules devised in the 1960s and 1970s if we are to halt the steady decline in the western population, writes Desmond Fennell
LAST WEEK the news came from the United States that white people will be in a minority there in 2042, eight years sooner than previously predicted, according to US government projections. The reason for this is that in North America, as in Europe, the white population is not reproducing itself.
White women in western societies are producing on average fewer, sometimes much fewer, than 2.1 children per woman - the number of children required for the maintenance of a population. As things stand, therefore, the white race in the West is a dying breed.
There have been many instances of human groups not reproducing themselves, to the point of self-extinction or absorption into larger groups. The most common case has been a previously isolated tribe, when an outside agency has invaded and disrupted its way of life. The set of behavioural rules its members had worked out for themselves, and that made sense to them as a framework for life, gets disordered beyond repair.
They find themselves trying to live by a combination of rules that are partly remnants of their system, partly alien rules imposed on them. This haphazard combination does not make sense to them as a framework for life. So increasingly the will to reproduction flags, because it does not make sense to them to bear children into a senseless life.
It is likely that there is a similar reason for the flagging will of white westerners to reproduce their kind. Their historical background is in European or western civilisation which first took shape around a thousand years ago. That its core set of rules made sense is evidenced by its long endurance and by the mighty will to reproduce which it generated. Westerners overflowed from Europe to populate much of the world.
Then, beginning at the end of the second World War, white westerners, first in the United States, then in America's post-war European satellites, embarked on a great experiment. For the best of reasons - the pursuit of more justice, wealth and empowerment for all - they replaced many of the rules of European civilisation with new rules. Or rather, their democratic governments did this, employing left-liberals as their ethical guides, and enjoying enthusiastic support from the business corporations. The main rush of rule change took place in the 1960s and 1970s. Most white westerners, especially the younger generations, have made the new rules their own and have been living by them, or trying to.
The new collection of rules includes some of the old rules. It covers every sphere of behaviour: personal, interpersonal, male and female, parental and juvenile. It comprises, besides dos and don'ts, do-as-you-like rules.
People always assess for sense the collection of rules presented to them as a framework for life. They do so instinctively, drawing on generations of inherited experience. The point I am making is that this new collection of rules which white westerners have given themselves probably does not pass that litmus test. Probably it strikes growing numbers of them, deep down, as senseless, and therefore as a life framework which it does not make sense to bear children into.
That would not be surprising, given that it was thrown together in a very short time and based on idealistic theories rather than lived experience.
I have in mind an instructive parallel from the history of the Soviet Union. There, too, led by Russia, an idealistic experiment in rule-making was undertaken, with Marxist-Leninism as the ethical guide. In the latter years of that experiment, Russians noted with dismay an increasing fall in their fertility rate. The prospect appeared that they would become a minority in relation to the growing populations of the Union's Asian republics. In those populations, strong inherited cultures had rendered the impact of the Marxist-Leninist rules much lighter or next to null.
It is unlikely, even if the explanation I am offering for the flagging fertility of white westerners is accepted as valid, that any serious corrective measures will be undertaken. Our post-European collection of rules is the basis on which our successful consumerist system has been built, and everyone in power wants that to continue.
But if the reality were different, and white westerners could act in their own long-term interest, they would institute an authoritative, critical examination of their prevailing rules system. And that would begin - but only begin - by scrutinising the prevailing, "politically correct" rules that bear on women's lives, and particularly on motherhood.

Unemployment highest for nearly 10 years
The Government was hit by a fresh bout of bad economic news today when unemployment reached its worst level for almost a decade.
There were 1.72 million people out of work in the three months to July, up by 81,000 from the previous quarter and the highest total since the spring of 1999.
The number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance rose for the seventh month in a row in August, by 32,500 to 904,900 - the biggest monthly hike since December 1992.
The Office for National Statistics said the trend on both the claimant count and the wider number of jobless was increasing.
The number of workers in manufacturing continued to fall, down by 42,000 in the latest quarter to 2.87 million, the lowest since records began 30 years ago.
There was also the first fall for more than a year in the UK's employment level, down by 16,000 to 29.54 million in the three months to July.
Today's data showed that the number of workers in the public sector in June was 5.77 million, up by 13,000 over the quarter, while private sector employment was down by 29,000 to 23.77 million.
Vacancies were also down to their lowest level for more than a year to 613,200 after a fall of 56,900 in the quarter to August.
Economic inactivity also rose, with the number of people on long-term sick leave, looking after a relative, students or who have given up looking for a job up by 4,000 to 7.86 million - 20 per cent of the working age population.
Average earnings increased by 3.5 per cent in the year to July, up by 0.1 per cent from the previous month.
Wages grew by 3.3 per cent in the public sector compared with 3.5 per cent in private firms.
The number of days lost through industrial disputes in July was 363,000, the highest monthly total for more than two years, largely as a result of strikes by local government workers.
The annual total to July was 1.1 million, almost double the figure for the previous year.
Full-time and part-time employment levels fell back in the latest quarter, although the figures also showed an increase in the total number of jobs in the UK, up by 26,000 to 31.68 million.
Around 138,000 people were made redundant in the three months to July, up by 28,000 from the previous quarter - the highest figure for over a year.
The TUC warned today that the number of people out of work for at least a year could almost double to 700,000 by the end of 2009.
The union organisation said total unemployment could hit two million by next year, partly as a result of the Government's tougher benefits regime.

Unions ready to flex their money muscle
Labour rejects union rights
Scores of Labour MPs who are funded by trade unions voted against legislation aimed at easing the Tory anti-union laws last week.
The New Labour government went back on its promise, made in 2005 as part of the Warwick Agreement, to support the changes.
The TUC and all the major unions backed a series of amendments to the Employment Bill.
One would have banned employers from being able to hire agency workers to do the jobs of striking staff, and force them to inform employment agencies that there was a dispute to avoid an excuse of ignorance.
Another would have forced employers to provide contact details for workers to a union seeking an industrial action ballot.
This would have reduced the administrative burden on unions.
Just 44 Labour MPs could bring themselves to vote in line with policies the unions support.
Just 15 Labour MPs supported the unions having the right to expel without penalty British National Party members and other fascists.
This amendment was not even put to the vote because of the lack of support.
Union members should demand that all union support is withdrawn from those Labour MPs who voted against these measures.

Third World British Health Care
Scandal of care at top children's hospital
• Parents 'lied to' about poor treatment
• Inquiry ordered after doctors' claims
Treatment at one of Britain's leading children's hospitals is worse than that in the developing world, according to a damning doctors' report uncovered by The Observer which also reveals how parents are "told lies" to cover up sub-standard care.
In the document, which the head of the Royal College of Surgeons describes as alarming, consultants are scathing about the Birmingham Children's Hospital. Last night MPs called for a full inquiry into the quality of care at the hospital, where children are treated for life-threatening conditions such as liver or kidney failure, neurological problems and chronic heart complaints.
The report was commissioned by the NHS primary care trusts in Birmingham that fund the hospital after senior doctors at the hospital and the neighbouring University Hospital Birmingham, including world-renowned experts in paediatric care, complained that their repeated attempts to raise the alarm had been ignored. The report reveals that:
• Doctors lie to parents about why their child has undergone a major operation because they cannot admit that the hospital lacks the personnel and infrastructure to conduct safer procedures.
• Support for surgeons undertaking kidney transplants is so poor that consultants felt they had received better back-up when performing such procedures on a visit to Lagos, the capital of Nigeria.
• Transplant services for children with serious liver failure are so poor that they constitute "a third-class service [which is] putting patients at risk".
• Children with neurological problems have been involved in "close calls" - potential threats to their health - because of delays in getting them admitted to the right specialist ward. Nurses who work on the ward are resigning because of dangers to patients.
• Staff who support surgeons during complex operations do not recognise which surgical instrument has been requested, causing delays.
• Doctors no longer report safety risks because "there is no point" as hospital managers do not respond with action.
• Specialist services for very ill children with rare conditions "are being allowed to wither on the vine" because of a lack of resources and poor management.
Paul O'Connor, the hospital's chief executive, insisted last night that 'there is no immediate clinical risk to any patients at the hospital' but yesterday after being contacted by The Observer he commissioned Dr Jane Collins, his counterpart at London's Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, to conduct an inquiry and produce a report that he pledged to publish.
A Department of Health spokeswoman last night said it took such matters 'extremely seriously' adding: 'The Department of Health is waiting to receive the findings of this investigation. When we do we will consider these findings very carefully and respond.'
John Black, president of the Royal College of Surgeons of England demanded urgent action last night. 'It's alarming to read this report. It's unusual, to say the least, for a group of internationally known consultants to say that the paediatric service is third class and putting patients at risk.
'The report has highlighted real problems. It's a relief that it doesn't say that harm has occurred, but the consultants are saying that in their opinion patients are being put at risk. I would think that this report should ensure that, before the risk turns into an actual event, this should be acted upon.'
Steve McCabe, a government whip and MP for Birmingham Hall Green, said: 'It's very alarming to read that there's very poor management at the children's trust, leading to unnecessary waiting lists and putting lives at risk. It's very worrying that senior clinicians and consultants are making these claims but are not prepared to report incidents formally, thus allowing them to be swept under the carpet. There needs to be a much more thorough investigation.'
Jonathan Fielden, chairman of the British Medical Association's consultants' committee, said the report showed hospital managers had not listened to concerns raised by its most senior doctors and put financial concerns ahead of improving care for highly vulnerable patients.
Andrew Lansley, the shadow Health Secretary, called for an 'urgent' response. 'Birmingham Children's Hospital has some fine staff. I would be very worried if they expressed concerns like these. This is something the board will want to urgently respond to.'
Last night Lisa Weale, who criticised the quality of care at the hospital after her four-month-old son, Thomas, died there in December 2004, welcomed the report's publication.
'I am not surprised by what this report has found and I am glad that this is being highlighted. I knew that it was not only us who had been through such bad treatment. I feel the hospital have been getting away with this silently.'
She said a recent letter of apology from the hospital was 'too little, too late'. She and her partner Jason Smith have received an out-of-court settlement over the death of their son.

Porn good-BNP bad
Wearside internet porn teacher could return to class
A WEARSIDE man could be allowed to teach again despite looking at internet porn during school hours. Darren Adamson, 36, admitted also calling sex phone lines while head of English at Houghton Kepier School in Houghton-le- Spring, near Sunderland.
He is the second teacher to have been suspended by the same school for accessing material online in school time.
British National Party (BNP) member Adam Walker, 39, left his post last year after admitting contributing to an online forum in work time.
Walker also faces a General Teaching Council (GTC) hearing.
The GTC said while there was no evidence pupils knew what Adamson was doing, his actions were “wholly inappropriate”.
Their ruling added: “There was clearly a risk that a pupil may have entered a room when such images were on screen.”
Adamson was sacked for gross misconduct by the school, but remains on the teaching register.
But Margaret Morrissey, spokeswoman for Parents Outloud, said: “It is absolutely unacceptable. Whatever this teacher’s excuses, he knows it should not be done, certainly not on school premises, on school equipment and by a school teacher. This is one of those areas where there is no room for debate.
“If you do this you should know that you will lose your job and end your professional career. There is not a parent in the land who would want this man standing in front of a class.”
A professional conduct hearing of the GTC was told Adamson used the secondary school’s internet system to log on to a number of websites when he should have been teaching during April and May last year.
He also used preparation time to dial “premium rate” numbers, between November 2006 and March 2007.
The GTC ruled the case was “particularly serious as he should have set an example and was in a position of particular trust and authority.”
Adamson was not present at the hearing, but written accounts from him and his wife said he had experienced “considerable difficulties and anxiety in his personal life”. The committee said Adamson’s conduct had brought “the standing and reputation of the teaching profession into serious disrepute”.
The GTC issued an order stating Adamson must produce a report from a psychiatrist demonstrating he was fit to teach before he could work again.
A spokesman for Sunderland City Council said: “As Mr Adamson’s employer, the school took immediate action to suspend the teacher pending an inquiry as soon as the misuse came to light during a routine audit of the school’s IT system.
“Following a full investigation carried out by the school, during which all aspects of Child Protection issues were thoroughly considered, along with the adult nature of the sites visited and the fact they were not accessed during lesson times into account, a disciplinary hearing was held.
“Mr Adamson did not deny the allegations and was dismissed for gross Misconduct in September 2007 by the school’s governing body.”

Worthy Voices
DO NOT LET THE UK DAIRY INDUSTRY DIE
I hope that our political masters who take the trouble to read my ramblings about the current state of the UK dairy industry, do something positive in their actions to assist it and not hinder.
Why is a once profitable industry and obviously a major contributor to the UK’s balance of payments, being allowed to wither and die? To those of you who don’t know or would not wish to know, 2 dairy producers per day are leaving the industry which now only totals approximately 20,000 hardworking, underpaid individuals.
For the uninitiated, it was a politician who dismantled the co-op set up to take over from the defunct Milk Marketing Board. What made this notable female take such action? It certainly has seen the demise of a once great industry.
It has seen some of the highest suicide rates of any industry. Why? Probably because government departments continue to pile on the bureaucracy form filling, for what? It brings no respite for the cash starved dairy sector.
These economists who continually tell us we have to benchmark against the best should look further than their Whitehall corridors, we are the best but are still starved of cash, while a government looks on and sees their balance of payments within dairy products rise higher and higher. Please oh please politicians, tell us your master plan.
Leading ministers tell us its supply verses demand, then ministers why are we continuing to see our imports of dairy products rise. Those who wander around the corridors of power cannot be so naive to think that we mere peasants cannot understand how a balance sheet operates but then again most political manikins spend most of their time looking up their own rear.

How much do you pay for your milk? Farmers get just a penny a litre. The FFA still hold protests, and these people are worthy of our support.

I hope that our political masters who take the trouble to read my ramblings about the current state of the UK dairy industry, do something positive in their actions to assist it and not hinder.
Why is a once profitable industry and obviously a major contributor to the UK’s balance of payments, being allowed to wither and die? To those of you who don’t know or would not wish to know, 2 dairy producers per day are leaving the industry which now only totals approximately 20,000 hardworking, underpaid individuals.
For the uninitiated, it was a politician who dismantled the co-op set up to take over from the defunct Milk Marketing Board. What made this notable female take such action? It certainly has seen the demise of a once great industry.
It has seen some of the highest suicide rates of any industry. Why? Probably because government departments continue to pile on the bureaucracy form filling, for what? It brings no respite for the cash starved dairy sector.
