“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.”

Unfortunately the British citizenry have nothing to defend themselves with. This is why there is a 1st Amendment in the American Constitution. To protect the citizens against tyranny. So, the British will get what they wanted, good and hard.

The 1st is freedom of speech and religion. The 2nd is the unquestionable right to own and carry firearms. The 2nd guarantees the 1st.

It’s True the British people can’t fall back onto the guns in their personal possession, they absolutely have ways to defend themselves and fight back.

Northern Ireland didn’t have a 2nd Amendment and terrorist attacks, violence was widespread back in the days of the IRA, etc.

What would happen if 4-5 Mosques all of a sudden caught fire and burned to the ground.

Drugs get smuggled into the UK on a daily basis; it’s not a stretch to think guns and explosives could as well.

I see a Civil War in the UK where terrorist attacks against each side thru firebombing and eventually with smuggled weapons and explosives.

Not all wars are fought with guns, they’re plenty of ways to fight back using alternative methods.

Yes, we are allowed to hurl insults without repercussions from the government.
