The UN’s politically motivated search for human rights abuses in Italy

When politicians in Europe listen to the people and actually do something to stop uncontrolled immigration, the Holy See of the Global Crusade to Abolish Countries and the White Working Class – a.k.a the United Nations – sends in the thought police.

This spring it happened in Britain when Tendayi Achiume, UN ‘Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance’, turned up to do a fortnight’s fieldwork in order to demonstrate what she had already decided: Britain, thanks to Brexit, is a human-rights emergency in the grip of surging racism.

The war for the West is a war of words and such UN rapporteurs have a small but key role in providing the media with the words required for the constant flow of headlines necessary to win the war.

Now it is the turn of Italy, whose new populist coalition government of the radical right Lega and alt-left Five Star Movement, which is hostile to the European Union and to illegal migrants, has seen support soar to 60pc in the polls since the March general election.
