In northern Finland, where I live, we have an informal group called “Brits in Oulu.” Every so often we meet up in Oulu’s Nepalese Restaurant, which is, by the way, the best restaurant on earth. We meet there because the food is superb and incredibly reasonably priced (by Finnish standards) but, unconsciously, maybe gathering there gives things a kind of tongue-in-cheek British Empire feel. I once mentioned this aspect of it to a leftist British woman living in Oulu to which she responded, “I don’t think I feel comfortable with that.”
The image on our Facebook Page is a small British boat that was captured by the Finns when the British tried to invade Finland, on 7th June 1854, during the Crimean War. It is preserved in a glass case next to the river where it was captured in Kokkola, a picturesque coastal town, during the “Skirmish of Halkokari.” Sixteen marines were killed and nine of them were left behind and buried at Kokkola. We joke that our society’s ambition is to steal this boat, sail it to England and return it to His Majesty, along with the full replica of the British Crown Jewels which, inexplicably, sits in a mineral museum in Kemi in southern Lapland.
But the point is: it is a joke. We’re not really going to do so, and we’re certainly not going to try to make Finland a latter-day part of the British Empire by taking over the place. I’ve personally been asked, by two different political parties, to stand for the city council here. I declined both times, because people do not like it if foreigners interfere with their politics. But, in Britain, we have a situation where foreign politicians have not only attained the highest office—a British-born, very observant Hindu Prime Minister who, rather than marry an English person giving him a genetic stake in the English (as with Dame Priti Patel or Suella Braverman), imported an Indian wife—but openly talk about colonising Britain for their home nation.
In a speech that has found its way onto Twitter, Anas Sarwar, the leader of the Scottish Labour Party and thus the Leader of the Opposition in the Scottish Parliament, told an audience of Pakistanis that there need to be more Pakistanis in council chambers and in “the corridors of power, making the decisions.” He added: “The change is coming . . . The days where South Asian communities get to lead political parties and get to lead countries is now upon us.” They already “get to lead” South Asian countries but, apparently, this does not sate their ambition. This man, whose ex-Labour MP father campaigns for a Blasphemy Law to protect Islamic sensibilities, also declared that “South Asian communities” (by which he seems to mean Pakistanis) will be able to decide what children are taught in British schools.
What kind of society do we live in where there are not protests in the streets against this man? We are told to accept that Sarwar is Scottish because he was born in Scotland and British for the same reason: he is the leader of the opposition to the Anti-British Scottish National Party, itself led by a Pakistani until recently, which want to break up the UK. But the British mask is off, if it was ever truly on.
Sarwar will say he is “Scottish” and “British” when it is politically convenient to do so, as will many of the more canny Pakistanis in the UK. However, they don’t really feel British, because they’re not. They are not ethnically British. Ethnic groups are genetic clusters with common ancestors (and thus common genes) that have adapted to specific ecologies. You can see subtle differences between ethnic groups. The epicanthic eye-fold and the pronounced snub nose are very rare among the Brits. They are much more noticeable among Finns—we occasionally have Finnish guests at Brits in Oulu—because Finland is much colder and Finns are about 10% genetically East Asian due to East Asian incursions into their ancestral territories. Finns originally came from the Urals and likely interacted with Siberians.
Pakistanis are no more genetically British than transwomen are genetically female. Some Pakistanis born in the UK are, perhaps, trans-British. I’ve met such people at Jolly Heretic events and I can see the argument that we might wish to accept them as “adopted” into our British family. But Sarwar is not even that. He sees himself, first and foremost, as “Pakistani” and “South Asian” and wants his people to literally take over European nations.
Sarwar is the epitome of what we term, in our book “The Past is a Future Country: The Coming Conservative Demographic Revolution,” the “Foreign Right.” Though there are all kinds of variations and niches, in general, if you are a foreigner, left-wing government is preferable because the Left are traditionally the party of the outsider, the poor, and the foreigner, who is often all of these. The last thing you want if you’re a foreigner is a nationalistic government. So you are right-wing—nationalistic—in terms of your own group but left-wing within the host society. This is precisely the politics of Anas Sarwar and it will lead, and is already leading, to the breakup of England and, in time, Scotland and Wales as well.
In his 2021 book “Among the Mosques: A Journey Across Muslim Britain,” Ed Husain explores various northern towns in England and reveals that they are so segregated as to effectively be separate societies. Rather like Free Derry, where the British State held no sway, they police themselves and have nothing to do with outsiders. As recently as the mid-tenth century, swathes of the north and east of England were known as the Danelaw and were controlled not by the English crown but by Danish warlords. In the eleventh century, under Sweyn the Forkbeard, the Danes managed to take over the entire country’s government. It is something like this that Sarwar seems to espouse, except we must replace the word “Dane” with “Pakistani” and the “invasion” will be unarmed and “from below,” occurring slowly via the democratic process and its corruption. This process is not designed, after all, for a multi-ethnic society in which people vote along purely ethnic lines but we already saw this happening with four Muslim independents elected in 2024, one of whom openly opposes the banning of cousin marriage.
I suspect the key problem—the key reason for our apathy toward Sarwar—is that we are in a serious evolutionary mismatch. We are used to being replaced from above by our own people, people to whom we are strongly genetically similar. Until about 1800, the richer half of the population had double the completed fertility of the poorer half, which is why the English are all descended from King Edward III. We strongly fight against foreign invasions because foreigners will become the new aristocracy, displacing our own, and our ethnic group will be replaced from above by these foreigners.
It is only during those brief periods of the collapse of civilization—civilization itself being an evolutionary mismatch—that we are so wealthy and so shielded from the evolutionary match of frequent death that we lose our instincts, including the instinct to breed and to repel foreigners. This leads to our being replaced “from below” by low IQ members of our ethnic group (who are highly instinctive and have poor impulse control) and by the foreigners whom we always allow in at this decadent stage. Hence, the relative lack of outrage toward Anas Sarwar.
Outrage might be induced, however, if it was argued that this was a deliberate plan by an evil, anti-British elite who were, in a sense, replacing us from above. This is why the Great Replacement model, maybe unconsciously, is so frightening for the left. It is why the calm and reasonable Renaud Camus had to be banned from the UK recently . . .

Pakistanis seem to be nowhere stronger politically than in Scotland, a country still 93% white. If one can judge by their voting behaviour, most Scots are completely indifferent as to their country's demographic make-up, and are broadly supportive of the anti-white policies which are destroying England and the rest of western Europe (not that English voters have anything to be proud of). Despite their reputation as a fierce, freedom-loving people, Scots strike me as highly conformist, which may be a legacy of the clan system. This seems to tie-in with what the article is saying re. being replaced from above by one's own people, or the assumption that this will be the case.
If Pakistan and India tip into war, possibly going nuclear, that will spark civil war between their populations in the UK and Canada. Won't that be fun.
