Canute and matters pertaining

I am obviously guilty. I must be guilty because I hold views that differed from the panel gathered to discuss the issue of immigration.
The term guilty is a strong condemnation, it usually means punishment since society demands the importance of reminding the public what it expects. Remember I am only guilty of believing something which is out of kilter with the story the Establishment wishes us to believe and, on the basis of what I hear or see amongst ordinary people who make up at least 60 percent of the population, I am tempted to be contrary
Politicians and  members of the media are very constrained in what they can say since, on the one hand, their "constituents" come from all shades of the environment  some having very powerful opinion mending machines to hammer home their own point of view. The media likewise are always in the throes of finding the middle ground, of being non controversial to the point that the BBC has become an embarrassment as they seek to apologise for any story which strays off the Establishment line.
Immigration brought millions of people to these shores. Each immigrant represents a family,each immigrant brings a culture and a set of beliefs that are sometimes at odds with the people who were here before the massive influx from 1947 onwards.
Of course the clever word-smiths who write and discuss these matters usually demote the common-or- garden Englishmen to someone indefinable, someone without a past or a sense of permanence someone who is simply a polyglot of wandering people from every corner of the world. The concept that we have some linage is rebuked as ridiculous and therefore even the most recent immigrant merely joins a long line and has as much a right to be here as anyone.
The changes he or she brings are Darwinian in their ability to adjust us irrespective of whether we wish to be part of this evolution or not.
I suppose Canute comes to mind as we attempt to hold back the forces behind change.
Of course some insects have remained unchanged from when the fishes first moved onto land. Their internal design was such that evolution left them alone.
Perhaps this is what we want. A stop to the hybridisation of our identity, perhaps  a moment to consider that he are happy to be who we are without merging us with everyone else on the planet.
