Britain, Which Birthed American Ideas About Liberty, Has Embraced Despotism
American Thinker ^ | 23 Aug, 2024 | Vince Coyner

The speed with which Great Britain abandoned her long, painful journey to individual liberty is a stark warning for America.

SNIP

The genesis of today’s dystopia began almost three decades ago when immigration took off in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The number of non-EU immigrants averaged over 200,000 per year for a decade and then skyrocketed after 2020. A nation of 55 million in 2000 is today over 65 million, with almost all of that growth coming from immigration, a majority from non-EU nations, particularly from the Middle East and Africa, countries that don’t share British culture or, importantly, religion. (It’s also likely that many of the ostensibly EU immigrants originated in non-EU countries.)

As a consequence, London, home to 20% of England’s population, has gone from approximately 80% native white British in 1991 to approximately 36% in 2021. The native population has surely shrunk more since then.

The result of this transformation of Britain from a largely British nation to something else has been monstrous. Possibly the single most despicable example is the 20-plus-year Rotherham child rape scandal that saw hundreds of Pakistani Muslims rape over a thousand British girls right under the noses of police who did nothing for fear of being called racists. As if that wasn’t bad enough, those who dared report on the various trials—see, e.g., here and here—found themselves jailed for doing so.

At the same time, London has become a killing ground for knife attacks, the overwhelming number being committed by minorities. Indeed, the country has become beset with machete attacks, a crime that was historically unheard of in Britain but which is common in the third world.

In July, the 17-year-old son of Rwandan immigrants knifed ten little girls, killing three of them. With the government withholding information

There needs to be prosecution of those involved in this attack on Western Civilization.

Like Turkey and Venezuela before it, Britain demonstrates that a single election can make the difference between freedom and tyranny. As we approach November 5th, we just might want to take note…

Britain no longer Great. Individuals birthed American ideas about liberty. Great individuals.

The White guilt of British ‘elites’ killed Western culture in Britain. What fools. Welcome to the violent hellhole cultures these ‘immigrants’ said they wanted to escape.

We are far past the time for words like “should.”

Much of the current decline of the UK happened while the “conservative” Tories were in power. So you can’t blame liberal Labour for this.

It’s a malaise (and probably a fatal one) that affects both parties.

As a side note, I wonder when the new UK will decide that the old, white monarchy is no longer needed. I’ll take 2050 on the betting card.

Every Newcomer right off the rubber boat will have the right to rape as many women and girls as they like. Any who object, do not bow to Allah, or look at a newcomer wrong will be stabbed with a knife. The powerful see the Islamic newcomers as their tool to absolute power over the Brits. The Thug police will crack down on any who object, or say anything, or even think the wrong thoughts. The Jails will be full soon, as many Brits leave for America, or points south. Soon the second language of the UK will be Arabic. The Mahdi’s revenge for Lord Kitchner and Omdurman.

I don’t see how the Britain of the past can survive. Before being overwhelmed, they might have reasserted their culture. Now, it is too late.

The good news, such as it is good, is that the Britain of the past will simply disappear, to live only in our memories. The great churches will sprout mushrooms and Britain as a seat of empire will no longer be recognizable. It will become like so many Muslim countries which the West should have studied better.

The question in my mind that has NOT been answered is what is to happen to the military might of these Western nations that are subsumed by Islam. The world got to witness the collapse of the Soviet Union, and to see how well, or poorly, the disposition of nuclear and other modern weapons were dealt with. Now, we seem witness to nuclear powers gleefully returning to the 6th Century.

It is not a reassuring picture.

I have dealt with several Brits over the years in my line of work, and with one exception they were the least impressive professionals I’ve ever met.

These people were not stupid, but they left me with a lasting impression of them as lazy, entitled malcontents.

The UK has a Deep State, too.

Theirs is in control of the UK.

What the UK doesn’t have, and desperately needs, is a Trump.

Meanwhile, the royals hide out up in Balmoral.

Note to the Prince of Wales: If Deep State has done to your family what I think it's done, if I were you I'd want their heads on pikes for that alone. Add what they're doing to your fellow countrymen and women...

A quote from one of your countrymen...

When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.

Probably about right. One wonders how it will go down. A few days of bloody attacks across the country, or a slower, ‘best get out while you can’ approach.

I honestly think it will be earlier than that. Once bonnie King Charlie kicks the bucket, watch for s mass uprising of the muzzle horde, calling g for the end of the royal line, an abolishment of Parliament, and the establishment of a caliphate.

There won’t be enough white Belts to stop them.
