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 “barbary” pirates could be attacking yachts and beaches in the Mediterranean within 10 years.

Europe, including Britain, could be undermined by large immigrant groups with little allegiance to their host countries — a “reverse colonisation” as Parry described it. These groups would stay connected to their homelands by the internet and cheap flights. The idea of assimilation was becoming redundant, he said.

Waking up to the civilizational threat

Things are definitely changing, when even a such an easy-going fellow as Andrew Stuttaford at NRO’s The Corner is acknowledging that immigration may pose a threat to Europe as grave as that posed to Rome by the Germanic invasions of the fourth and fifth centuries. He discusses a paper by Rear Admiral Christopher Parry of the Royal Navy to the effect that “future migrations would be comparable to the Goths and Vandals while north African ‘barbary’ pirates could be attacking yachts and beaches in the Mediterranean within 10 years. Europe, including Britain, could be undermined by large immigrant groups with little allegiance to their host countries—a ‘reverse colonisation’ as Parry described it…. The result for Britain and Europe, Parry warned, could be ‘like the 5th century Roman empire facing the Goths and the Vandals.’”
