The dam is breaking on Britain’s illegal immigration crisis — and the results could be ugly

Britain’s Labour government is in trouble: Its program of massive third-world immigration from places like Pakistan and Somalia is wildly, overwhelmingly unpopular.

But that’s not the real problem.

The real problem is that despite the best efforts of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his leftist captive media, Britons themselves have discovered just how unpopular it is.

You might think that’s absurd — if mass immigration is unpopular, how can everyone not know it?

Everyone doesn’t know it because the government has been policing speech about immigration.

Any criticism of open borders, lax enforcement or — worst of all — immigrant crime has been punished as “racist” and “hate speech” by the Starmer regime.

Yep. Such laws assume that the government can read people’s minds, and ascertain exactly what they were thinking. And that doesn’t matter anyway.

It’s a Big Brother attempt to attach a “thought crime” to an actual crime.

He may still help save them. The people can see what he does here and want that for their own country.

There is no alternative

There is no alternative

Maybe there's no desirable alternative, but in reality there are two actual alternatives:

Servitude and Death. They're not exactly attractive, but they are the bases of choice.

The old UK Empire collapsed in the 1950s

We are now witnessing the collapse of the rump-UK-empire, which is still run though things like London finance, MI6, the Commonwealth, BBC, and international NGOs and multilateral organizations.

You know, the people who created and managed the “Russia-gate” fraud, with their Atlanticist allies in DC.

[wardaddy]

We have more popular support against it I think

And we are freerer to push back

Rights in Britain are restricted like most of Western Europe

Eastern Europe seems to be more culturally preservative

It’s crazy honestly isn’t it

Britain
France to a degree
Germany cucked

It’s sad

[Pikachu_Dad]

It still could be our fate. democrats keep trying every day. They sought to impeach Trump yet again.

[dfwgator]

It started with “Windrush”, as Britain looked to the colonies to replace the manpower lost during the wars.

“I don’t see Labour Party giving up power in 2029.”

Of course, the Labour Party will not give up power. It will be taken from them long before 2029; it may take a civil war, but the people seem to be fed up with immigration.

[Savage Beast]

I hope so. I want only the best for the Brits, but they should never have let things reach this point.

Maybe Trump's monumental puissance will allow him to save both the USA and the UK.

[karnage]

It is too late for Britain.

There are no British men left willing to shed blood for England.

[dfwgator]

There’s no more England to fight for.

[grumpygresh]

The Eastern Europeans can easily remember life under the Soviet yoke as recently as 1989. Putin has made remembering this more important.
The British had a vast empire that was translated into the Commonwealth. However, people in Commonwealth nations could obtain UK citizenship much easier than non Commonwealth. A lot of Pakistanis from the former British Indian immigrated to UK.

But, if there was a silver lining, being behind the Iron Curtain spared those countries from mass immigration. At least in Poland, the jobs may have sucked, but they were still done by Poles.

The only comfort is knowing when the EU collapses, a new system will emerge, hopefully one that works for it’s people.

The EU is collapsing, no Tears.

[delta7]

Guillotines are in order, that whole corrupted, immoral Europe has a history of bloody revolutions. They should have kept their guns, now they have to get up close and personal using knives and machetes.

[jimwatx]

Yup. I dread thinking what would have happened if Kamala was elected.

[Biblebelter]

I’ve stopped reading as much as the Brit press as I once did.

But as of couple of months ago, the comment section of the Telegraph was still fighting the Cold War and saw Vlad as their greatest threat.

All the while their little islands were being invaded by the Muslim horde.

[Billthedrill]

And yet still the boats continue to land and entirely unproductive, resentful, and culturally alien invaders throw their smothering weight on what is left of Britain's welfare state. It is creaking now. It will break. And what replaces it will not be pretty.

The difference between this and the past is that Britain was perfectly capable of assimilating colonial influxes so long as they wanted to be assimilated. The present invaders absolutely do not, and the government is perversely supporting their "right" not ever to be British at all, operating under the erroneous One World assumptions that all cultures are equal and that so long as their own might be accused of being rapacious and insular, those characteristics must be tolerated for all. That turns out to be one of the most corrosive and self-destructive misconceptions in the history of Western political thought.

God has great mercy on us for sparing President Trump’s life and having him be elected.

We can’t squander the opportunities we’ve been given.
