The 1,000-year-old village of Piddington just voted to leave the U.K. after Labour announced plans to house 1,250 single adult male asylum seekers next to the children’s playground
According to a glowing report on NBC’s Today program last week, thousands of well-heeled American visitors are flocking to spend vacations in the English countryside this summer, seeking to commune with the parent country of their ancestors, in what NBC said transatlantic visitors fondly imagine to be the “land of Downton Abbey and Jane Austen.”The only problem with this idealistic analogy being that, today, most places in the real-life “Yookay,” with their polluted brown hills, charmless vape-stores acting as barely-policed fronts for immigrant crime, and historic pubs being converted into mosques, in fact possess all the allure not of a novel by Jane Austen, but one co-authored by JG Ballard and Michel Houellebecq.
Rape and Village
Appearances can be deceptive. Take a sunny, open-air picnic held last weekend in Piddington, a tiny, 1,000-year-old Oxfordshire village which, at first glance, really does look a genuine slice of Jane Austen-Land, with its ancient church, quaint parish hall, and rolling green acres. As described by the local newspaper, “Families enjoyed picnics, flew kites, and spent time together while children painted a large Hollywo
od-style ‘Piddington’ sign.” Sounds idyllic. Who would not want to live in a place like Piddington? The people of Piddington themselves right now.The Piddington picnic may have seemed like a charming attempt to attract more tourists, but really functioned as part of a wider public protest campaign. On the appropriate date of July 4, the village’s 370 or so residents had already voted, by a margin of 96 percent, to hold a (legally unenforceable) referendum on leaving the U.K. forever, over uproar about government plans to suddenly dump up to 1,250 asylum seekers, all of whom will be “single adult males”, in a disused army camp in the nearby countryside, leaving the real Piddingtonians outnumbered 3.5 to 1. Being such a tiny, obscure place, Piddington’s woes initially stayed close to the locality itself. But now, finally, news has crossed the Atlantic, with sympathetic pieces appearing in outlets like The Wall Street Journal, and the likes of Elon Musk getting volubly involved.Even some pro-migrant charities accept Piddington is an unsuitable location to hold an asylum center. The place is so small it doesn’t have streetlights, shops, or even a pub to be turned into a mosque. It doesn’t have a single policeman, either. Politicians reassured terrified residents they had no need to worry, though; whilst they would be free to come and go as they pleased, the village’s new colonizers would have to sign a small sheet of paper every time they left barracks. They also handed each Piddington household a free factsheet about their looming foreign occupation. If only other invading armies throughout history had bothered to hand out civilians free factsheets during times of war, nobody sensible would ever have objected to being conquered at all!
The garrison is sited directly next to a children’s playground, something which, given foreigners’ known propensity for committing sex crimes against U.K. women and children of late, is worrying. One Piddingtonian complained how:
“I’ve had men — grown men — crying to me because they’ve got young daughters … One guy who’s got an 18-year-old said, ‘I will not let her go out. I will not let her leave the house alone’ … We don’t have anything to defend ourselves with. It’s against the law for us to carry a knife or have a gun.”
They should pretend to be Sikhs and start legally carrying a kirpan like the guy who stabbed Henry Nowak did.
Foreign Aid
Having preliminarily voted for independence, Piddington now plans to contact the U.S. Embassy in London, in light of this year’s 250th anniversary of America’s own Declaration of Independence, seeking help from Donald Trump and JD Vance, who seem to like Britain more than its own current rulers do.
Foreign help was all Piddington was getting. From across the Atlantic this past week, Anglophilic celebrities like Elon Musk and expatriate former Monty Python star John Cleese (well-known for correctly thinking London is “not really an English city anymore”) objected, but the left-wing Labour government was not listening.Britain’s new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has just been “elected” (in a bloodless coup) on a platform of supposedly giving local power back to local people: by which he means pathetic trivialities like tinkering with local business tax rates, not being able to say no to suddenly having 1,250 potential Muslims put up next to your pre-teen daughter’s playground. Oddly enough, the only notable U.K. politician to truly object to this was Zia Yusuf, of the anti-immigration Reform UK Party — who is, himself, a Muslim of Sri Lankan heritage. --->READ MORE HERE
