The village of Piddington, with a population of 350, erupted in fury and fear when they were informed they would be saddled with 1,250 illegal immigrant men to be settled at a decommissioned military base next to them.
Now they learn that the Labour government's plans include the possibility of housing as many as twice that number, which would take the ratio of illegal aliens to English residents up to 10-1.

If you thought a ratio of 5-1 was a disaster, what do you call 10-1?
I didn't plan to make today a "European governments betray their citizens" day here at Hot Air, but there it is. My first post of the day focused on the outburst of rage at the government's open-arms welcoming of yet another "small boat" invasion of the UK; my second on the rise of the AfD as a backlash to the German "consensus" that immigration of MENA "refugees" is an unalloyed good; and now this.
The Labour government is wiping away the English character in, of all places, a small village in Oxfordshire, where you would imagine murder mystery series would be set, not a no-go zone filled with Islamists.
Reform UK's Zia Yusuf has blasted "lying Labour" after it emerged the Home Office had carried out assessments for migrants at a former MoD site, which would have outnumbered villagers 10 to one. Publicly available documents show an Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) risk assessment stating that “the proposed scheme” relates to “accommodation for 3,510 service users” at the ex-military Bicester Site A storage facility.
The shocking figure discovered by worried villagers of neighbouring Piddington, in Oxfordshire, has been refuted by the Home Office, which said it was based on an "outdated estimate" and there was no plan to increase the official figure of 1,256 male migrants they were seeking to put in the base.
Labour says they have no "plans" to increase the already outrageous number of young men they are dumping on Piddington, but then again they also say they are stemming the tide of illegal aliens invading the UK, and they have done nothing but lie about that.
If they developed plans for 3,500, it will eventually be 3,500. You're an idiot if you think otherwise.
🚨 Extraordinary news about Piddington - the village of 350 people upon whom Andy Burnham is dumping 1250 illegal migrant men.

Turns out it’s not 1,250.
It’s 3,510.
Yes.
The Express has got hold of an official risk assessment that reveals they’re preparing for 3,510.
That’s…

That’s 10 illegal migrant men for every Piddington resident.
This is one of the most insane attacks on a British village in recent memory.
And it’s coming from our OWN GOVERNMENT.
British people are being overwhelmed.
When I visited the rural village of Piddington, a mother told me she and her daughter were taking self defence classes.
A father told me his daughter’s childhood was “over”.
And that was when it was 1,250.
Just imagine how they feel now.
Andy Burnham is dumping illegal migrants onto British people.
Enough is enough.
Reform will stop the invasion of Britain.
The European transnationalists have been aiming to create a United States of Europe and have come ever closer to establishing a technocratic government in the EU. But it has become increasingly clear that their ultimate aim is a completely borderless society in which the national cultures of all European countries are erased completely to eliminate the "far right."
Piddington is just one front in the larger battle to save Western civilization. Putting 10 Islamic men for every English Anglican into a tiny town is a vision of the future of Britain, and the dreams of the transnationalists.
No doubt you wonder why any sane policymaker would think that's a good idea. It's obvious, after decades of mass immigration from MENA countries, that Islam is colonizing Europe. How on Earth could anybody think turning Europe into the Third World is a good thing? It is a manifestly insane policy, right?
Not in their eyes, because the culture that will replace various European national cultures isn't their focus. They developed a vision of eliminating national borders 80 years ago, after World War II, and are determined to carry it out. To the extent that the vision doesn't match reality, and it doesn't- it doesn't seem to matter. They believe that they can paper over the differences with censorship and propaganda.
That isn't me blowing smoke. Look at the rape gang crisis. Everybody in power knew about it for decades, and their solution was to deny it was happening. The people in power have a goal: eliminating national borders, and no amount of expected loyalty from their national populations can stand in their way.
Destroying the nation-state and the cultures that create them is the goal, and if it takes breaking a few eggs and the rape of some young women, that is just the price that must be paid.
The rise of populist parties is the natural reaction to this betrayal, and the rise of totalitarianism is the counter-response.
The clash is inevitable and has already begun.
The biggest surprise to me in this whole sorry affair is how the police and military have responded: rather than resisting the destruction of their culture, they have become accomplices. They make the arrests for speech offenses; they suppress popular dissent; they embrace the Islamists. In short, they have chosen the Stasi's path.
American centrists are shocked at the rise of Trump and the MAGA movement, but the MAGA movement is the response of the American immune system to the transnationalist disease.
It is the democratic election of MAGA politicians that stands between the United States and the Europeanization of the United States, and it's pretty clear that the country is dividing between the MAGA states and the Blue states. Federalism and an armed society are our saviors, so far.
Will it hold? Will the pendulum swing back, and if so, will it be far enough, or even too far?
I can't say, but I am not optimistic.
So far, there is no Piddington in America, and there won't be under Trump. Biden wanted to get there, obviously, or at least his administration did.
2028 will be the test.
