Colby Cosh has a [1] lengthy, thoughtful post on the Paris riots, and writes:

Theodore Dalrymple wrote the [2] received text on Muslim alienation in suburban France more than three years ago: of him it can truly be said that he saw the Seine foaming with much blood.

This is a formulation that will be familiar to VDARE.com readers, (for anyone who came in late, it’s from the [3] peroration of a famous speech) and that reminds me that one of the suggestions that[4] Enoch Powell made in that speech, was that “re-emigration” should be encouraged. This is the same suggestion that [5] Steve Sailer made yesterday.

Here’s Powell’s genuinely modest proposal:

Nobody can make an estimate of the numbers which, with generous grants and assistance, would choose either to [6] return to their countries of origin or to [7] go to other countries anxious to receive the manpower and the skills they represent. Nobody knows, because no such policy has yet been attempted. I can only say that, even at present, immigrants in my own constituency from time to time come to me, asking if I can find them assistance to return home. If such a policy were adopted and pursued with the determination which the gravity of the alternative justifies, the resultant outflow could appreciably alter the [8] prospects for the future.
