Anti-Migrant Protests Roil the U.K.
Powerlineblog ^ | Aug 3, 2025 | John Hinderaker

Across the Western world, governments have opened the floodgates to mass third-world immigration. It is questionable whether such policies have been popular anywhere, and it is hard to identify a country where citizens have ever voted for them. Thus, unrest has been inevitable. The international political class has usually responded to popular discontent over immigration by shutting down speech and criminalizing dissent. Meanwhile, a number of European countries are rapidly becoming unrecognizable.

Why this crazed dedication to an unpopular and likely suicidal policy? I wish I knew.

Yesterday, there were massive protests across the United Kingdom against the Uniparty’s immigration policies. This march took place in Manchester:

"Rule Britannia - Patriots Take Over Manchester 🇬🇧 - Antifa Counter Protest 👎 🧐" >

The marchers are waving the Union Jack, the flag of the United Kingdom, and St. George’s Cross, the flag of England. It is generally considered “far right” to display the English flag in England.

Opponents of mass third-world immigration are inhibited because they lack a vocabulary with which to oppose the inevitable charge of “racism,” a charge that is leveled just about everywhere, except against actual instances of racism. But why is it so difficult? A man from Cameroon, say, may be a wonderful gentleman, and he may be heir to a “vibrant” culture–a common euphemism in this context–but he is not British, and the culture to which he is heir is not British culture. Why is it out of bounds to say that Britain should be (predominantly, anyway) for the British, as France should be for the French, Germany for the Germans, Sweden for the Swedes? And that any minorities in those countries should adapt to the native cultures, not the other way around?

This queasiness seems to be exclusively a Western phenomenon. The Chinese have no doubt that China is their country, and the Chinese government displays no urge to import foreigners. If it did import foreigners, it would use them for slave labor. Same with the Japanese, except for the slave labor part.

Meanwhile, the Islamization of Britain continues apace. News is censored, lest people get the wrong (i.e., right) idea:

It's worth spelling out why they act like this.

Britain's establishment is aware that the migration policies it imposed have been an economic and social disaster. It also knows that it would be completely delegitimising to admit this. https://t.co/g35HDy4s65— Sam Ashworth-Hayes (@SAshworthHayes) August 3, 2025

Local police forces haven't quite twigged that attempting to conceal information is now doing quite a lot to fuel "tensions", and in particular the impression that the state is not on the side of its people. https://t.co/W9hLgKIn4H pic.twitter.com/ZtiMlHN0cj— Sam Ashworth-Hayes (@SAshworthHayes) August 2, 2025

I recently noticed in the news that Keir Starmer’s Labour government has lowered the voting age to 16. This is the kind of thing liberals have tried to do in the U.S., on the assumption that most kids will vote Democrat. But in Britain, Mark Steyn points out, the reason goes deeper:

Britain’s government has decided to lower the voting age to sixteen. Almost all the commentary has focused on whether schoolchildren are informed or responsible enough to vote. Reading such bollocks is a complete waste of your time. The principal practical effect of sixteen-year-old electors will be to increase the migrant vote long before the formal handover of demographic supremacy in 2063 or whenever. As Richard North writes at The Conservative Woman:

In most Muslim households, it is a dead cert that the heads of the households will use the postal votes of their children to favour candidates pre-selected by the baradari (clan) elders at the mosques.

As someone once said, the future belongs to those who show up, and with Starmer’s legislation it shows up early. “Diversity” is not equally distributed: the Zimmer-frame vote is still overwhelmingly Anglo-Celtic; among newborns, forty per cent have at least one non-UK parent.

I wish Britain’s protesters well, but it is hard to be optimistic about where this all ends. In civil war, possibly, or in a takeover of countries like the U.K. by foreign elements, analogous to the Germanic invasions of the fifth and sixth centuries only with more radical consequences. Or possibly Britain and other countries will turn back from the brink with sane immigration policies. If it is not already too late.

If they had sunk the boats at the outset, they wouldn’t have this problem.

The Wampanoag and the Powhatan feel the same way. :-)

I’d rather vote for The Silly Party.

I'd rather vote for Silly Putty. Oh, wait ... I guess the Brits already did that.

“There may be a simple answer: The leaders of those countries don’t have children. They don’t care about the future.”

True childless women who move to the top of leadership are the ones that HATE modern society and Christianity and want to end it once and for all...something we’ll soon see in the UK, sadly.

Exactly. I didn’t put Trump back in office to save a bunch of whiny, ungrateful Brits in the UK.

The Scots, in particular claim that because Trump’s mother is from Scotland that somehow they or he more to the point , has some obligation to save them from the mess they’ve gotten themselves into.

If this weren’t all too sadly true I’d think this was a “Monty Python’’ skit.

Indeed. How many times do we have to bail them out of a mess they’ve gotten themselves into?

They’re like some giant dysfunctional family ruining the neighborhood.

I think The Monster Raving Loony Party (founded by Screaming Lord Sutch) has quietly taken over the Labour rabble presently in office.

It’s happened here to a degree
Britain lacks a center right to right majority like we have

Even more wood libs than we have

Plus their immigrant class is Muslim instead of Amerindian from south of the border like ours

Pakistanis I think the worst culprits

“Why is it out of bounds to say that Britain should be (predominantly, anyway) for the British, as France should be for the French, Germany for the Germans, Sweden for the Swedes? And that any minorities in those countries should adapt to the native cultures, not the other way around?”

The thing is, what the author really means is that Islam is a problem — which it is.

Britain, France and Germany have always been multicultural and multinational. The Brits are Irish, Scottish, Welsh, english (and there are massive differences between Scousers, Yorkshiremen and Susssx folk and west country folk) . The french are Bretons, Occitan, etc etc and with Alsacd etc.

And Germnay is a country of multiple nations eith the Banarian language not being mutually comprehensible to a person from Hamburg for instance, unless they speak the “Standard German”.

The Swedes also have central Swedes, the Saami and people from scania (the last of whom are closer to the Danes a d were conquered from Denmark only about 200 years ago)

Maybe they just need to turn them all into Scotsmen....

There aren’t enough “blokes in the barracks” to take back London. There are maybe 20,000 weapons carriers in the British military. They couldn’t take or hold Tacoma. We have a bigger base and more armed civilian dudes.

Nope, this has all been the doing of the powers that be.

Interesting. I wonder what the percentage is? I have a feeling you are correct, why care about the future if you have no skin in the game?
