Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>In the end, it was a single tweet followed by a blatantly partisan attempt to get its author to shut up that made Britain\u2019s stiff upper lip quiver.<\/b><\/p>\n

After celebrity football commentator Gary Lineker expressed his discomfort with the ugly rhetoric accompanying the Conservative government\u2019s proposed \u201cIllegal Migration Bill\u201d, aimed at asylum seekers, the BBC took him off air.<\/p>\n

On his personal account, the politically moderate Lineker had criticised a \u201ccruel\u201d policy and suggested that the anti-migrant rhetoric was reminiscent of 1930s\u2019 Germany. An obvious distraction from the widespread economic suffering in Britain and multiple allegations of Tory corruption, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak\u2019s sensationalising \u201cstop the boats\u201d policy would see desperate people arriving on Britain\u2019s shores on rubber dinghies being criminalised, detained, deported, and debarred from ever returning. The United Nations has described this as illegal.<\/p>\n

In truth, Lineker had violated not the BBC\u2019s \u201cimpartiality\u201d guidelines, but an unwritten national code. Britain in its apparently distinctive goodness must never be compared with the Germany that the Allies finally defeated in the second world war. There can be no suggestion that if it does not pull back from xenophobia and demonising people deemed \u201cothers\u201d, Britain might itself canter down the path Germany once took.<\/p>\n

Cultural theorist Paul Gilroy describes Britain as suffering from a \u201cpathology of greatness\u201d embodied by the mixed martial and football chant: \u201cTwo World Wars and One World Cup\u201d. A sense of itself as eternally the good guy, never in danger of becoming like the bad one, is fundamental to Britain\u2019s official but somewhat deluded narrative of itself.<\/p>\n

Although he had not in fact referenced the Nazis, the Holocaust or concentration camps Lineker, reinstated by the BBC after a huge outcry, was still accused of making \u201cNazi slurs\u201d. This false claim came from tabloids complicit in describing, equally falsely, \u201cswarms\u201d of refugees and \u201cillegals flooding into Britain\u201d. Lineker had pointed out that there was no such \u201cinflux\u201d, puncturing a hole in a fiction propagated by both ministers and media. Britain processes far fewer asylum applications than Germany, for instance.<\/p>\n

Still, those who baulk at the parallel need not look to the German past. Britain\u2019s own long imperial and post-war history furnishes sufficient examples of dehumanising language and lethal racism.<\/p>\n

Unlike the repeated citation of \u201cthe finest hour\u201d, and Britain\u2019s heroic victory (with Allies) in the anti-Nazi war in popular history, there is a stark silence in this country around Britain\u2019s history of racial violence and ethnic cleansing.<\/p>\n

This history of white supremacy and racial terror is the more relevant background for understanding Britain\u2019s brutal attitude towards asylum seekers from war-torn regions of Asia and Africa. The contrast between their treatment and the laudable generosity offered to Ukrainians fleeing war who are deemed to be more \u201clike us\u201d (meaning white and European) is telling.<\/p>\n

It is no secret that to enslave, subjugate, conquer or dispossess peoples over four centuries, the British Empire developed ideologies that deemed the darker peoples of the globe either less human than Europeans or less than human altogether. Some South Africans, seen as \u201csavage\u201d and sexually insatiable, were exhibited in \u201chuman zoos\u201d while the \u201cviolent\u201d and \u201cprimitive\u201d Kikuyu in East Africa were corralled into small reserves, condemned to be \u201csquatters\u201d on their own land now called \u201cthe White Highlands\u201d.<\/p>\n

Bengalis dying in their millions from a colonial famine were mocked by Churchill as \u201cbreeding like rabbits\u201d, while the Indigenous peoples of North America were regarded as cannibals and unable to farm the land, which could conveniently then be taken from them. The Secwepemc leader, George Manuel, recalls being asked by a white colleague as late as the 1970s: \u201cDo Indians have feelings?\u201d The idea that the world\u2019s darker peoples are less sensitive to ill-treatment remains pervasive.<\/p>\n

As its government demonises undocumented people seeking shelter today, it is worth remembering that Britain has historically been more a refugee-making country than a refugee-taking one.<\/p>\n

Enslavement literally turned human beings into cargo while indenture ripped many desperate people from homelands in Asia and deposited them to work on British plantations for pitiable wages. These extraordinary renditions took place on large ships rather than the small boats decried by Sunak and his ministers but the dehumanising of people on the high seas is not new to Britain. The dismissive attitude to desperate people on inflatable dinghies braving danger to get to British shores is faintly evocative of the callous spirit of those ship captains who threw enslaved people overboard in order to be able to claim merchandise insurance as illustrated by the infamous 1781 Zong massacre.<\/p>\n

In her book, Bordering Britain, the legal scholar Nadine El-Enany has pointed out that Britain\u2019s borders and the successive legislations which have shaped them such as the 1981 Nationality Act \u201cmaintain the racial order established by colonialism\u201d in which Black and brown bodies are coded as racially inferior and disposable.<\/p>\n

In colonial Kenya, to name just one example, the Native Registration Amendment Ordinance meant that a hated \u201ckipande\u201d or passbook had to be worn around the neck by African males. It determined where they could go and whether they could work even as most had been displaced from their fertile agricultural lands by white settlers, history\u2019s most lethal economic migrants.<\/p>\n

Having liberally expanded into the world in the centuries which preceded it, Britain contracted into itself in the post-war era, then narrowed the definition of who was allowed to be British.<\/p>\n

The Commonwealth Immigrants Act of 1962 strove to stop members of what Queen Elizabeth had \u2014 as princess in 1947 \u2014 described as \u201cour great imperial family\u201d from aspiring for citizenship.<\/p>\n
