“The people will feel they have no option than to take action into their own hands”
A retired British Army Colonel is warning that he believes a civil war in the country is now inevitable because politicians are unwilling to take meaningful actions to fix societal collapse.
Colonel Richard Kemp, who has served on the Joint Intelligence Committee and the Cabinet Office crisis centre COBRA, urges that an alliance “of the hard left and Islamist extremists” will clash with broadly conservative British people and that it will lead to widespread prolonged unrest.
Kemp suggests that “together with other causes,” these Islamist leftists will “come together to threaten the cohesion and the culture, the entire culture and political existence of the West.”
Kemp, who fought counter insurgency in Northern Ireland, served in the Gulf war, Bosnia, and commanded in Afghanistan, asserts that the agitators are “fostered by,” and “funded to a large extent, by our international enemies like Russia, China, Iran, and other countries as well.”
In an interview with podcaster Conor Tomlinson, Kemp remarks that politicians in the UK are “in a state of bewilderment, they’re like rabbits in headlights,” and that while they understand how the unrest is being fomented, they are unable or unwilling to put a stop to it.
Kemp says of political leaders that their “horizon is four years,” and “They want to keep a state of equilibrium for that time, they want to do what they can to make sure they win the next election.”
“They don’t want to take the radical sort of action that might be necessary to address these sorts of problems,” the Colonel stresses, highlighting mass migration as one major issue.
“There’s only so much that I think people can take of that, and they’ve been very quiet up until now, the people in the UK have not really raised their voices against this, or in a very limited way only. But the more it develops, and it is going to develop more and more, the more unrest we are going to see,” Kemp emphasises.
He adds, “they have no option. I’m not encouraging or supporting this, but I think the people will feel they have no option than to take action into their own hands rather than rely on political leaders who are doing nothing, in their eyes.”
“I think there is every likelihood, I don’t know what the timeframe is, but I would go so far as to not just predict civil unrest, but civil war in the UK in the coming years if this situation continues which I believe it will,” he urges.
“I’d hate to be right on this, but I believe that I know there is no political solution to the situation Britain faces today,” Kemp further declares, adding “When I say there is no solution, I don’t mean there actually isn’t a solution, but there is no solution that any of our politicians are willing to take… because they are afraid of doing anything significant.”
As we’ve previously highlighted, these views are shared by London King’s College war professor Dr David Betz, who believes the UK is already “past the tipping point,” for near future civil war.
Betz stated earlier this year, “There isn’t anything they can do, it’s baked in. We’re already past the tipping point, is my estimation… we are past the point at which there is a political off ramp. We are past the point at which normal politics is able to solve the problem… almost every plausible way forward from here involves some kind of violence in my view.”
Kemp’s interviewer Conor Tomlinson notes that Colonel Kemp has never even heard of Professor Betz and arrived at the same conclusion completely independently, Which “makes his well-informed warnings all the more alarming.”

“Not all wars are fought with guns, they’re plenty of ways to fight back using alternative methods.”
When a tyrannical government shows up at my door to take away my freedom, I can protect myself. Try doing that in England.
Trump told them
Initially what you say is true, what happens if a UK civilian who is unarmed mows down a cop with his vehicle or sets fire to a bunch of cop cars, when the cops respond rams a car into them.
A lot of depends on how dedicated to the cause are the UK citizens, will they engage in suicide type of attacks or firebombing of police stations or mosques.
They’re plenty of ways to fight back without using guns.
“A retired British Army Colonel is warning that he believes a civil war in the country is now inevitable because politicians are unwilling to take meaningful actions to fix societal collapse.”
“societal collapse” or Islamic invasion?
“Northern Ireland didn’t have a 2nd Amendment and terrorist attacks, violence was widespread back in the days of the IRA, etc.”
The IRA and fellow travelers supplied themselves with weapons and funds from Irish American groups in the US.
The Kennedy’s were big supporters.
I and many others would give money to US based groups funding kinetic freedom movements in UK, CAN, and AUS.
We would also agitate with our elected weasels to do likewise.
How quick would the ruling classes of these despotic realms change policies if we treated them as the enemies of liberty that they are?
Seize assets. House governments in exile. Launch cross border raids to free the Canadian people.
A well executed Hudson Bay of Pigs.
Talk got everybody here.
Talk is not going to get them out.
Very true, it might take longer, but they’re plenty of ways to fight back even though no one or very few people are armed in the UK.
UK Ex-pats and other UK supporters would certainly come to the aid of UK citizens.
Like I said earlier, drugs are smuggled into the UK on a daily basis, guns and explosives could be smuggled in as well.
In the meantime, a 5-gallon can of gas and a few matches could take out a mosque or migrant hotel.
Britain is lost. A bloody outburst across the nation would not surprise me one bit. They’ve allowed the muzzies to overrun the place.
If so they have to go after the elites and the media and show neither any mercy
Clio, the Muse of History, has a wicked sense of humor. That's just the sort of irony she loves.
Well said. The UK has neither but you knew that.
We all know that the Brits generally have no guns. I can’t be alone in thinking that if something like this breaks out, suddenly, out of nowhere, the muzzies will be armed. Whatever the goal of this nonsense is, the muzzies MUST be protected!
“We all know that the Brits generally have no guns.”
US Customs has reported that Germany and Eastern Europe are the primary sources for the smuggling of small arms. Some of the best small arms in the world are manufactured there. If Brits want battle rifles, they can find them in their backyards.
Don’t worry about Britain.
All they need is a miracle,
They can never make up their mind, but they make it up as they go along.
UK to Muslims:
I don’t care if you hang around me
I don’t care if you go away
Muslims to UK:
But I went out of my way just to hurt you
The one I shouldn’t hurt at all
I thought I was being cool
Yeah, I thought I was being strong
But it’s always the same old story
You never know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone
Yes, we are allowed to hurl insults without repercussions from the government.
It isn’t as if there are no guns in the UK. There are: the state has them and the mosques either do or can get them quickly from well-developed sources. The danger is that the state and the mosques will team up to suppress dissent. And it looks as if they might be doing just that.
Get in goose-step comrade! Your betters have decided that white Brits and your culture aren’t worth saving.
Well, you can hurl insults, issue threats, and get away with it in the UK...

...as long as you’re Deep State’s.
There might be a bit of rowdiness during the transition, I think the Limeys would catch on just fine.
