UK on the Brink

David Betz, a professor of war studies at King's College, was a guest on Triggernometry.  He was clearly uncomfortable to be there and not a polished speaker.  His message is one that he is reluctant to deliver: the United Kingdom is on the brink of civil war.  What?  As one who has studied such things throughout his academic career, he sees all the signs of civil war.  The cratering of faith in the institutions of government.  The people no longer believe that the government can solve problems through the normal processes.  The troubles have grown worse despite multiple votes to address them.  He notably brought up Brexit, which was supposed to address the uncontrolled migration.  It arguably got worse in the wake of Brexit.  Then there is the admitted failure of multiculturalism.  This itself has created a crack in the country.  Where those who have grown up in the UK have a natural affinity and loyalty to the existing norms, the immigrants do not.  That several members of parliament - of foreign descent - voted to build an airport in Pakistan was a demonstration of factionalism.  These members were interested not in doing that which would benefit the UK as a whole, but their faction. Where the hosts were optimistic that Nigel Farage might reverse course, Betz was much less so.  He views Farage as a pressure release valve that may lower the heat for a time but not actually fix anything, essentially a Brexit 2.0.  The kindling for a fire has stacked up over 20 to 30 years and, sooner or later, there will be a spark that ignites it.  Rather than Royalist Cavaliers vs. Parliamentarian Roundheads, this conflict is between the 'We Want Out Country Back' faction and the 'Shut the F--- Up!' faction. Betz proposes that the civil war will begin - if it hasn't already - when an anonymous native group targets a judge, influencer, or such.

Betz noted that the cities were in one camp while rural areas in the other.  Cities are notably weak, as they depend on the produce of the rural areas to survive.  Disruption of power, gas, and food will cause the cities to explode in civil strife and the police will be powerless to quell it.

Dark days ahead.

UK in Flames

Three British girls were killed by an immigrant and the dam burst.  The UK has been flooded with immigrants who are not assimilating, and the ruling class has accused the native population of bigotry for voicing any opposition to the continued immigration.  In fact, one of the most strident voices against this, Tommy Robinson, has been jailed for his reporting on sexual predators who happen to be of Pakistani descent.  The message is clear: shut up while your betters change the demographics of England.  All the votes that have sought to stem this tide of immigration have been ignored by both the Torries and Labor.  Muslims dance in the streets with knives and sabers while the police arrest a girl for observing that a police officer looked like a lesbian.  You see, it would look racist to enforce the law on immigrants, so the police are extra harsh on whites to make up for it.

The incompatibility of the recent immigrants with the longstanding British culture is beyond obvious. Much of Europe is committing cultural suicide by importing cultures that their ancestors fought tooth and nail to keep out of Europe.  Europe abandoned Christianity and thought it would end religious clashes.  No, it was more akin to unilateral disarmament.  The other side is still committed to its religion, and you will be assimilated to it!

In the last 2 decades, nearly 100 British citizens have been killed by Muslims while no Muslims have been killed by native British.  Of course, Prime Minister Starmer has promised to protect the Muslims.  Short of civil war, much of Europe is toast.  The votes have proved repeatedly meaningless and the government, despite promises to cut back on immigration, have more often allowed it to accelerate.  Luckily, the British have disarmed the citizens, so there is little risk to the government.

Correction: The 17-year-old killer was born in the UK, but his parents are apparently immigrants.  It was widely believed he was an immigrant during the riots/protests.  As the killer is still a minor, details are being withheld, thus the confusion.  Is he Muslim?  I can find no news reporting one way or another.
