Demographics is your fate.
The author is delusional. If Britain hasn’t had a civil uprising by now, it’s never going to have one.
Only if we let it...
As it gets hot, I wonder which group will flock to which country....france or us or canada...to get away...and bring it with them culturally.
Seems biblical. And self-induced.
“This isn’t hyperbole. Britain right now shows all the signs of descending into sustained civil conflict and eventually open civil war“
Only if it’s fought by twelve year old girls. I didn’t notice any men in that video.
“The author is delusional. If Britain hasn’t had a civil uprising by now, it’s never going to have one.”
You need to remember what Jefferson said about overthrowing governments in the Declaration of Independence:
“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by,abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government...”
Desperate people will do desperate things when there is no out.
“The author is delusional. If Britain hasn’t had a civil uprising by now, it’s never going to have one.“
I cannot fathom that you are wrong. If there were any men left in England they’d have long since put in an appearance.
The lead up to America’s Revolutionary War didn’t occur overnight.
It took years.
I’d argue that the lead up to this one started when the UK voted to Brexit.
That’s when their Deep State and Europe decided to take off the gloves.
But there is still hope for the UK.
How we know that...
The UK’s Deep State is still scared of its citizenry.
As long as that’s still the case, there’s hope.
It may be that their hour of need is here again.
Double irony:
240 years late and it took ‘immigration’ to bring it to a head.
I’m ashamed of my Scottish heritage.
> Desperate people will do desperate things when there is no out. <
True that.
But the people of Europe are by and large unarmed. All they can do is make noise and throw rocks. So I guess it all depends on the police and the army.
The Romanian revolution of 1989 was an amazing thing. The army almost instantly pivoted from being pro-government to being pro-people.
Could we see the same thing in Western Europe? I doubt it. But you never know.
In the most recent full reporting year of crime statistics (2023) Britain had 73,000 reported rapes. Almost double the 2nd place nation-France. Dead last with 500 was Poland. Now, WHAT is the common thread in these statistics?
Britain is the rape capital of the Western World. It is time for the adults and the men of Britain to rise up and defend their women! If 14 year old Sophie of Dundee can take a stand as pubescent Boudica against these filthy savages, then surely the men can!
And if you say you see something different in the UK on social media, they may arrest you too.
You make a great point. I suspect that there are many families in Britain that are in Silent Running mode right now. Quietly preparing for the opportunity while publicly mewling the official government line so as to not attract the attention of the authorities.
Silent Running: Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For someday sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still
There’s a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect you from up here.
You know what the Brits did with those guns after the war? Most of them were dumped in the Channel.
The BBC is taking the word of the police on the scene.
But the British police have already completely disgraced themselves. I would believe nothing that they say. It’s possible they completely made up this “Bulgarian couple”. Or maybe the couple was just standing off to the side, and had nothing to do with the incident.
Why would that girl be terrified of a Bulgarian couple? It doesn’t make any sense.
Would I bet my last dollar that the police are lying? No. But I would bet my last dollar that they will tell us only a sanitized version of the incident.

1) Its origins date back to the Middle Ages.
The name “guillotine” dates to the 1790s and the French Revolution, but similar execution machines had already been in existence for centuries. A beheading device called the “planke” was used in Germany and Flanders during the Middle Ages, and the English had a sliding axe known as the Halifax Gibbet, which may have been lopping off heads all the way back to antiquity.
The French guillotine was likely inspired by two earlier machines: the Renaissance-era “mannaia” from Italy, and the notorious “Scottish Maiden,” which claimed the lives of some 120 people between the 16th and 18th centuries. Evidence also shows that primitive guillotines may have been in use in France long before the days of the French Revolution.
2.
It was originally developed as a more humane method of execution.
The origins of the French guillotine date back to late-1789, when Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin proposed that the French government adopt a gentler method of execution. Although he was personally opposed to capital punishment, Guillotin argued that decapitation by a lightning-quick machine would be more humane and egalitarian than sword and axe beheadings, which were often botched. He later helped oversee the development of the first prototype, an imposing machine designed by French doctor Antoine Louis and built by a German harpsichord maker named Tobias Schmidt.
The device claimed its first official victim in April 1792, and quickly became known as the “guillotine”—much to the horror of its supposed inventor. Guillotin tried to distance himself from the machine during the guillotine hysteria of the 1790s, and his family later unsuccessfully petitioned the French government to change its name in the early 19th century.
3.
Guillotine executions were major spectator events.
During the Reign of Terror of the mid-1790s, thousands of “enemies of the French Revolution” met their end by the guillotine’s blade. Some members of the public initially complained that the machine was too quick and clinical, but before long the process had evolved into high entertainment.
People came to the place de la Revolution in droves to watch the guillotine do its grisly work, and the machine was honored in countless songs, jokes and poems. Spectators could buy souvenirs, read a program listing the names of the victims, or even grab a quick bite to eat at a nearby restaurant called “Cabaret de la Guillotine.”
Some people attended on a daily basis, most famously the “Tricoteuses,” a group of morbid women who supposedly sat beside the scaffold and knitted in between beheadings. The theater even extended to the condemned. Many people offered sarcastic quips or defiant last words before being executed, and others danced their way up the steps of the scaffold. Fascination with the guillotine waned at the end of the 18th century, but public beheadings continued in France until 1939.
4.
It was a popular children’s toy.
Children often attended guillotine executions, and some may have even played with their own miniature guillotines at home. During the 1790s, a two-foot-tall, replica blade-and-timbers was a popular toy in France. Kids used the fully operational guillotines to decapitate dolls or even small rodents, and some towns eventually banned them out of fear that they were a vicious influence. Novelty guillotines also found their way onto some upper class dinner tables, where they were used as bread and vegetable slicers.
5.
Guillotine operators were national celebrities.
As the fame of the guillotine grew, so too did the reputations of its operators. Executioners won a great deal of notoriety during the French Revolution when they were closely judged on how quickly and precisely they could orchestrate multiple beheadings. The job was often a family business. Multiple generations of the famed Sanson family served as state executioners from 1792 to 1847 and were responsible for dropping the blade on King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, among thousands of others.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, the role of chief headsman fell to Louis and Anatole Deibler, a father and son pair whose combined tenure extended from 1879 to 1939. People often chanted the Sansons’ and Deiblers’ names in the streets, and their choice of clothing on the scaffold was known to inspire fashion trends. Executioners were also a subject of morbid fascination in the criminal underworld. According to some accounts, gangsters and other hoods would get tattoos with grim slogans such as, “My Head Goes To Deibler.”
6.
Scientists conducted gruesome studies on the heads of the condemned.
From the very beginning of its use, speculation abounded over whether the heads of the guillotined remained conscious after being cut off. The debate reached new heights in 1793 when an assistant executioner slapped the face of one of his victims’ heads and spectators claimed to see its cheeks flush in anger. Doctors later asked the condemned to try to blink or leave one eye open after their execution to prove they could still move, and others yelled the deceased’s name or exposed their heads to candle flames and ammonia to see if they would react.
In 1880, a doctor named Dassy de Lignieres even had blood pumped into the head of a guillotined child murderer to find out if it would come back to life and speak. The ghastly experiments were put to a stop in the 20th century, but studies on rats have since found that brain activity may continue for around four seconds after decapitation.
7.
It was used for executions in Nazi Germany.
The guillotine is most famously associated with revolutionary France, but it may have claimed just as many lives in Germany during the Third Reich. Adolf Hitler made the guillotine a state method of execution in the 1930s and ordered that 20 of the machines be placed in cities across Germany. According to Nazi records, the guillotine was eventually used to execute some 16,500 people between 1933 and 1945, many of them resistance fighters and political dissidents.
8.
It was last used in the 1970s.
The guillotine remained France’s state method of capital punishment well into the late 20th century. Convicted murderer Hamida Djandoubi became the last person to meet his end by the “National Razor” after he was executed by the guillotine in 1977. Still, the machine’s 189-year reign only officially came to an end in September 1981, when France abolished capital punishment for good.
You can tell from the video they’re lying. The “victim” is mocking her, telling her to show the weapons again to get her in trouble. I don’t understand how some people aren’t letting themselves see the truth.
On the contrary, I believe the revolution has hardly just begun. The UK's debt-bloated, socialist economy hasn't even collapsed yet.
