The United Kingdom is unfortunately a nation that is in the process of slowly committing cultural suicide.
It pains us to say it because the UK is in many ways the cradle of modern Western civilization and there has been no more steadfast US ally for very nearly 100 years.
But the British made a bargain with the devil when they decided to allow massive Muslim immigration a generation ago. As a result, there are now Shariah zones in areas of Britain and there are neighborhoods in London where British servicemen have been told not to wear their uniforms because the locals are offended.
Still, these symptoms of the cultural suicide pale in comparison to the periodic Jihadist attacks and plots that are uncovered. This week has revealed yet another Jihadi plot, this one perhaps among the worst to be contemplated by monsters that are living in and amongst good, innocent British subjects.
The latest plot in the UK involved three Jihadis in Birmingham who were preparing to detonate nail bombs at rail stations with an aim to slaughtering thousands.

Right. So Britain has free speech codes just like Canada where your free speech you criticize Islam will get you jailed. My point exactly. Britain is not a free country. People have been warned by the police for criticizing Islam. Birmingham is a virtual cespool of Islamism. You can’t teach the Holocaust in schools in case you offend Islam. Free country my ass. But what do you expect from a nation that embraced monarchism and Toryism and tossed out its first republican in Cromwell.
Dude, you should make yourself aware of what goes on in your own country. Stop being a sheep. Not to mention the refusal of Gert Wilders in your country for criticizing Islam.

Your country is going to hell in a handbasket and you don’t even know it. You should read America Alone from a fellow Brit, Mark Steyn.
If you came to the UK, and I welcome you to, you would see that the anti-israel group is a minority, that anti-israeli policy is not the same as anti-semitism. And you would see two things:
1-the UK dosent care about Isr vs Pal: we are sick of it.
2-the British are not and never have been an antisemitic nation, quite the opposite. The least antisemitic nation in Europe. And no more than Canada or America.
BTW, Muslim majority?. Why do people here think the Muslims are gonna take over?. 5% of the UK is Muslim. 95% isnt and 92% of the UK is white.
My mistake, yes, they are a noxious little party. Galloway is a vile human being and a anti-israeli bigot.
BTW, his refusal to speak to an Israeli last week in the UK was met with widespread revulsion. Even on the left. Far from supporting such actions and such a man, Galloway is utterly reviled throughout the UK.
It wasn't good enough for you to have slaughtered so many Boers that you were itching to off some Jerries as well. Didn't quite work out the way you hoped though, did it?
Not to mention the traitors that fought alongside the Commintern against the legitimate government of Spain under Franco.
World War I was a completely unnecessary war, acknowledged as such by most historians today.
‘You can’t teach the Holocaust in schools in case you offend Islam.’
Utter rubbish. That myth was posted here some time ago and was immediately exposed as the myth it is. I wa sone of the posters who posted the correct story.
No, the Holocaust in the UK is very much taught, in fact I would argue much more so than pupils in North America. In fact, I would say the Holocaust is much more covered in the UK (education, TV, books) overall than North America.
Thousands of British schoolchildren travel to Europe every year to visit Auschwitz. And Holocaust Day is well covered by the UK media: tv, radio, newspapers. And there are commemorations all over the UK.
I can assure you that the ‘dont teach the Holocaust’ story is complete bunkum.
BTW, your shitty little country doesn't even accommodate the handicapped. My wife and I tried to get by in London with our infant in a baby stroller. No elevators in the subway and no easy access on the sidewalks. We almost got killed tumbling down an escalator and not one limey helped us. It was a Scottish woman who kindly gave us a hand.
I can tell you Great Britain does not accommodate children. And that's your problem. The White class is dying in Britain and that is what will destroy you as Islam dominates. It is only 5% and yet directs your foreign policy and police to enforce Sharia.
Cromwell died. And his son’s ‘rule’ 1658-1660 was so unpopular that the monarchy was brought back by public request. The Puritan rule was muchj more oppressive than the monarchy had been.
You ARE aware that the ban on Wilders was overturned in the English courts and that he has visited the UK twice?.
Steyn is Canadian, is he not?.
Are we too PC?. Yes. But then so is the west. We have our problems, but we arent quite yet in the seventh circle of hell.
Do you even see the anti-Israel bias at the BBC. Their rendition of Ivanhoe, making the Jew a pathetic character, was horrendous. That is aside from the news coverage.
Thanks for setting the record straight.
Yes, it was Britain’s fault that the Germans under Kaiser Wilhelm spent two decades in a fanatical arms race to try and match the British. Not Willie’s fault, but ours. Yep, I get it.
The Yanks had to save us?. Really?. They didnt arrive until 1917, the British and Aussie and Canadian troops, as well as Indians, had to take the brunt of the Kaiserschlact in easter 1918, as well as the huge brunt of the 100 Day Offensive to drive back the Germans to the border.
There were more Canadians in 1918 than Americans. The Aussies in 1918 did more fighting than the US. Oh, and the US didnt undertake a solo major assault until the battle of St Mihiel in SEPTEMBER 1918, just two months from victory.
Yet the US saved us, not the Aussies or Canucks?. Yeah, ok.
No, you have been to London. Big difference, you havent been around the UK. So you have a skewed and incomplete picture of the British.
Call my country shitty all you want. Just makes you look like the narrowminded bigot.
No, anti-israeli sentiment isnt huge, loud maybe, but not huge. Frankly most Brits couldnt give a toss.
Londoners are rude and surly. Not surprised they didnt help.
Sharia Law exists only as a civil law, legally subordinate to english law, in just five towns or cities in England. Not in Scotland, Wales or NI. NOR are there any plans to extend it. Not even by the leftwing parties should they get into power.
Oh boy, I can see you are biased by your British centric view of history. Not much I can do for you. Britain was a willing participant in the arms race with Germany. Germany was no threat. The Prussian establishment had no interest, absolutely none, in getting involved in a world war. They knew they were not military prepared to take on any of the great powers. The Allied powers did whatever they could to spark the Great War, looking to take Germany down in size.
The Yanks saved you then and saved you in the Great Depression when the federal reserve saved Britain’s outflow of gold. This caused Britain to have a mild recession while Americans suffered. Americans would do well to go back to Jeffersonian ideals and reject the Hamiltonian idea of sucking up to you Brits.
I am no fan of either Charles I or Cromwell.
Had I lived in 1640, I would have fought for Cromwell. His cause was just, however it is fact that puritan rule in the latter 1650’s became oppressive and freedom to do even the most innocuous act of life became oppressed. Like all ideas, they became corrupted.
As one famous semi-joking quote has said, the British didnt drive the Puritans to America because of bigotry, they drove them out because they couldnt damn well stand them anymore.
The British Govt always publicly condemns the acts of terrorism against Israel!. Why do you think it dosent?. Frankly, it does it quicker than the US.
This idea the British govt dosent side with Israel is nonsense. Every major and controversial incident involving Israel gets UK support: be it the invasion of 2006. or the justified actions against the ships some time back. The British govt always comes out and supports Israel publicly, many times to critcism from some political quarters at home.
Thats because we are allies: military, intelligence, foreign policy, Iran. Britain and Israel are allies
DONT LET THE LOUD RANTINGS OF BRITISH LEFTISTS AND PRO-PALESTINIANS MAKE YOU THINK ALL BRITAIN OR BRITAIN AS A NATION IS AGAINST ISRAEL.
The BBC is politically biased?. Mate, I AM British!. Tell me something I dont know.
I mean the tradition of Britain after Churchill was milquetoast conservatism at best. Thatcher was stabbed in the back by her own party and replaced now by what amounts to a George H Bush equivalent at Downey Street now.
In Canada we gave (sadly) David Frum to America. We also had Mulroney, another disaster to conservatism. In Britain one doesn't even remember the names of the disasters in conservative leadership until Thatcher took the helm. You don't even adjust the political boundaries in British ridings and haven't done so since time immemorial, giving clear advantage to the labour party.
I am biased?. You make the Germans sound like lil bunny rabbits, assailed by the big nasty British and French. I assume we forced the Germans to invade Belgium then, did we?.
If you think the US forces saved the allies in 1917-18, your knowledge of WW1 is dreadful.
You DO know that the US army in WW1 had no tanks, planes and heavy artillery of its own, and had to use British and French equipment?. A fact even superpatriot historian Stephen Ambrose had to admit in his last book. You DO know that the Royal Navy had to carry HALF of all US troops from America to Britain in 1917, and ALL American troops from England to France?.
Britain had a mild recession in the 30’s?. Tell that to the people still living today who lived through it.
I have never met a Canadian like you. I am sad that you have such a dislike for the British people and Britain.
I love Canada and its people, I have stood up for it many times on here and on RightNation. And nobody outside Canada has a greater passion and appreciation for the Canadian Armed Forces of WW1 and WW2, and to today: from Vimy to the Corvette, Ortona to Korea.
