1997 Tony Blair
Was multiculturalism’s year zero. The “New Labour” government was new Britain: managerial elites and technocrats exercising power through bloated government bureaucracies and radically transforming society. The architect was Labour Party leader and newly elected Prime Minister Tony Blair, who sought to socially engineer a multicultural society and “rub the right’s nose in diversity.” In the 30 years since 1995, net migration has rocketed to almost 8 million.

Mass immigration, along with its accompanying doctrine of multiculturalism, has been a 30-year flawed experiment. The notion that the West has entered a post-historical period in which cultural practices, religion, and ethnicity would coalesce into a harmonious global community based on universal principles has proven to be dangerously false.
