ONE of Britain's most senior military strategists has warned that Western civilisation faces a threat on a par with the barbarian invasions that destroyed the Roman empire.

In an apocalyptic vision of security dangers, Rear Admiral Chris Parry said future migrations would be comparable to the Goths and Vandals, while North African pirates could be attacking yachts and beaches in the Mediterranean within 10 years. Europe could be undermined by growing immigrant communities with little allegiance to host countries -- a "reverse colonisation" as Parry described it.

These groups would remain closely connected to their homelands via the internet and cheap flights. The idea of assimilation was becoming redundant, he said.

The bleak warnings by Parry were delivered to senior officers and industry experts at a conference last week. Parry, head of the development, concepts and doctrine centre at Britain's Ministry of Defence, is charged with identifying challenges that will frame future national security policy.

If a security breakdown occurred, he said, it was likely to be brought on by environmental destruction and a population explosion, coupled with modern technology and radical Islam. The result for Britain and Europe, Parry warned, could be "like the 5th-century Roman empire facing the Goths and the Vandals".

This does not come as news to Welsh Republican Comment. We have been saying since 1989 that Cymru is under a sustained and relentless attack from Enlish immigration with the Cymric civilization being overrun by the stronger newcommer culture of Lloegr(England). Perhaps now that England faces reverse colonisation, it may reflect upon its own colonial history in the Celtic nations it rules and realise that respect for national culture, idiom and language  is a part of the process of mutual respect which alone ensures dignity and parity between free nations of the earth.
