Who oppressed the oppressors

Subject: Who oppressed the oppressors.

It's a funny old world. The changes which ring out every year are depicted as inevitable, a sign of the time, a consequence of past events.

The commentary is cleverly scripted to encourage support for the "oppressed". Oppressed people from all corners of the globe but uncannily, not from an area in any one of a number of country's within Europe.

The Oppressed arrive because they are oppressed. Little or no insight into why they are oppressed or by who. Oppressed people carry the holy grail these days, ever since they discovered it is possible but not easy, to trek from their tribally/religiously war torn areas into the relative tranquillity of Europe. Being "oppressed" gives them status, it unlocks doors it gives them rights. Being "oppressed" is a passport to anywhere and everywhere, a status of at least on paper, immediate unqualified assistance designated by no less a personage than the Secretary General of the United Nations.

Over time and dependent on numbers, the oppressed slowly become the oppressors.

The neighbourhoods which absorbed them begin to resemble the country they came from and the locals soon feel alienated in their own back yard.

They of course have no Secretary General to speak for them. Even their own politicians flee from representing their grievances for fear of being called racist. They are left to make the best of it, or move away.

The resentment which builds up in these communities of 'the newly oppressed' begin to air their resentment but eerily find their words used against them for being, 'Fascist' or 'Far Right' and demonised by the people who have least to worry but the most to blame, the middle class. 

The growth of discontent has been around for years but a "not in my back yard" mentality meant the problem was never seriously discussed. The politicians were scrupulous in avoiding the issue and the Government simply did what it always does when faced with social problems, it put its head in the sand and prayed it would go away.

'Human rights' trumps 'national rights' on the assumption that we are all human. But if the 'human rights humans' have an orchestrated plethora of support from all those "not effected" humans, (part of their confessional), then the oppressed humans who have become oppressed by the initial oppressors have little chance of getting a hearing from a crisis weary public.
