Can anyone save Britain from self-destruction?
The Spectator ^ | September 5, 2025 | Douglas Murray

Posted on 09/05/2025 11:39:52 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Tens of thousands of people turned out on the streets last week to protest against mass immigration. The protestors were promptly labelled ‘racist’ by their own government, ‘far-right’ by the New York Times and as having links to ‘neo-Nazis’ by the Guardian. The protests in question happened in cities across Australia, including Sydney – but frankly those sentences could have been written about similar protests in Britain and in almost any western country.

Coincidentally, the past weekend also saw the ten-year anniversary of the German chancellor Angela Merkel opening the doors of Europe, saying ‘We can manage’ and allowing Europe to become the home of anyone in the world who wanted to move in.

Merkel may have been more explicit than some of her counterparts, but similar open-door policies have afflicted almost every western country over recent years. In America the backlash to that protest has already begun, with the Donald Trump administration successfully starting not just to enforce its borders but to return people who are in the country illegally. But apart from the United States there isn’t a country in the West that has been serious about returning people who have come into the country illegally. Quite the opposite. In the UK the government has successfully challenged the courts over their rulings on hotels for illegal migrants. Questioned about this by the media, government ministers have admitted that the rights of illegal migrants trump those of British subjects who have paid taxes all of their lives. Indeed they have made it explicit that the rights of an illegal migrant who has never contributed to this country supersede the rights of people who are British and are down on their luck. The sort of people whom the welfare state was meant to support.

It would take another D-Day Invasion, this time against the Islamics

The U.S. should end all alliances and treaties with European countries that are self destructing right now. They’re going to start their 3rd world war soon and we need to stay out of this one.

The UK's nuclear weapons are all on submarines. It's likely that their capability will be degraded.

The Russian Navy never recovered from the collapse of the Soviet Union.

He’s a Globalist who sides with the Muslims. He’s betrayed the British people. He’s no damned good.
I hope President Trump calls off his visit to the UK later this month.

It’s up to the Brits. Hint, embrace the history of Bastille Day and get to it. Please. The French effed it up big time afterwards, but still, it’s better than the steamy pile of you-know-what currently infesting Parliament and #7 Downing St.

A military coup might do it. And one lead by a bold monarch would have a better chance.

What’s the chances of that happening? I’ll be optimistic, and say 1%.

It’s all up to the British Army. Enraged citizens can protest, and throw rocks. But they don’t have access to weapons. Their oppressors the fascist British police do.

The Kinks were prescient. From 1984:

“All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old
But there’s no England now (there’s no England now)”

They made their bed. Let them sleep in it.

They need a Trump backed by the generals prepared to wage revolution. He’ll have the support of the (English) people.

But I don’t see it. This frog is being well and truly boiled.

Still, who knows. It just took a word from DJT and Trudeau fell and half of Canada is on the edge of declaring independence.

Pinochet could have. Tommy Robinson is their best chance.
