In a kind of "double whammy" I continued listening to the radio after Warnock had shocked me senseless. I am an "Archers" fan. Sorry. No apology from me. I have listened to this famous "soap" since I was 14 - a very long time indeed. Over the past few months we have been following a village controversey involving Ruth and David and their cousin Adam (the "Gay" one). They are trying to put together a proposal for something called a "Bio-Digester" plant (search me) which will produce heat and power from agricultural and waste products. Naturally their is opposition from Pat Archer (the organic one) who is the token Guardian reader in the village.
The 'double whammy' came when Pip, the 15 year old daughter of Ruth and David had one of her hysterical rants about the "end of the world", the greenhouse effect and so forth. She very forthrightly argued the Zac Goldsmith/Peter Singer position which is (simplified) that the world can now only be saved from destruction by humanity 'culling' itself. That is to say, global Genocide. Pip ranted on about "stopping having babies" being the only option now available to us.
Of course, and as her 'mum' Ruth attempted to argue - here in western Europe that is exactly what is happening although only among the indigenous population. White Europeans are contracepting and aborting themselves into oblivion. In previously Catholic countries such as Italy and France the birth rate is now so low that they are not replacing the aging and dying population at anything like the same amount as is needed. Meanwhile, the recent migrants of the last three or four decades are increasing their birthrate at astronomical levels. It is reckoned that before 2040 the Turkish community in Germany will be way larger than the 'local' German population. In English cities such as Leicester and Bradford we have reached that point already.
The BBC is guilty of planting pernicious and factually incorrect propoganda with this story line and they need to be careful to establish a political balance here. I have already made a complaint to the BBC and I urge others who heard this particular episode (Friday night) to also complain.
