Britain is dangerously radicalised. Time is short to turn things round
The Prime Minister’s dismal track record suggests he will just keep pushing us closer to the precipice
Mad as it sounds, I am beginning to wonder how far we are from serious civil disorder.
Outside a migrant hotel in Canary Wharf, a protestor put it succinctly.
“The UK is a volcano ready to go bang… We are one incident away from the country erupting. No matter where it’s at in the UK, the entire nation will go off…. People have had enough,” he said.
He thinks voters are angry at being ignored, gaslit, lied to, and exploited that the country is heading for something “tenfold worse” than the civil unrest Southport unleashed. The sight of our Prime Minister saying his top priority is to import a racist, anti-Semitic, Brit-hating thug called El Fattah feels like a defining moment.
Such rhetoric is easy to dismiss. Reaching for the usual lazy characterisations and smears, our leaders will talk of the rabble rousing of “far Right thugs”, reassuring themselves that the vast majority of British people are too patient; too reasonable; too politically divided, to come together in sufficient numbers to bring the country to a halt. I am not so sure. While the kind of civil war that has destroyed Sudan or Syria is inconceivable here, it does feel as if a mutinous UK is entering new territory.
Naturally, nobody in positions of influence or power wants to admit it. Fearful of being accused of somehow encouraging trouble, they would rather not acknowledge that a disturbing number of people are talking about direct action.
Take a woman who goes by the pseudonym “MissusKent” on social media. In a large WhatsApp group of disaffected white Brits, she calls for “civil uprising,” lamenting that peaceful protests achieve nothing.
“It needs us to start attacking these bloody extremist Islamists and all that… that’s the only way we’re going to survive this,” she says.
Similar discussions are not hard to find in other forums. Distasteful? Sure. Wrongheaded too. While “extremist Islamists” of the kind that rulers of moderate Middle Eastern countries abhor and routinely imprison are indeed poisoning our culture, there are not that many such individuals in the UK to fight. Such talk is also at the extreme end. Far more likely than widespread violence is a very British alternative, which aims to force a general election without bloodshed.
The real target of public opprobrium is not any particular race or religion: it is our useless leaders and the millions of welfare-dependent foreigners they have let in.
To prevent simmering tensions boiling over, we must face up to it.
I know the dark mutterings are real, because I make it my business to monitor fringes of social media, and I have had journalistic dealings with perfectly decent seeming individuals who genuinely think that to “save Britain”, they may need to fight. These are not folk with big followings, or public platforms, but there is no denying that they exist.
More worryingly for authorities, they are organising. Already, groups of “patriots” are going to northern France to confront Channel migrants and attempt to puncture dinghies. In asylum hotel hot spots like Bournemouth, groups of vigilantes patrol streets, having lost faith in the ability of the police to keep women and children safe.
Perhaps most concerningly for an Establishment that just doesn’t want to know, the middle classes are increasingly actively engaged in a more genteel revolt. (Witness the weekly demonstrations in leafy Crowborough.)
So far it is all peaceful enough, but if civilised attempts to make the ruling classes listen don’t work, what next? In pubs across the country, you will hear people of all backgrounds talk of their despair at another three years of this. They worry that if this terrible Government clings onto power until 2029, there won’t be much of the UK left to save. And so it is that in the toughest working class areas, there is casual talk of stockpiling essentials, and gathering weapons. Wow.
