“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.”

“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.
Also 2nd Amendment in the US…
Eventually the invaders will launch the war on their own. They hate the West and that was their goal from day one. It is truly insane for any nation to let Mozlems in.
I have believed the UK was past the tipping point for sometime now. The US is not that far from it either. Thank God for Trump.
Deport all non-citizens back to their home countries. Problem solved.
“Eventually the invaders will launch the war on their own. “
I hope we notice it.
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 not a civil war.
Citizens are at war with the State, not each other.
It would be a rebellion if it fails.
A revolution if successful.
Note the UK: If you successfully rebel against your Deep State, the first thing you will need this time around is a formal, written constitution.
Feel free to crib ours.
The MSM certainly won’t.
Waited too long...
Actually, the Second Amendment guarantees ALL the rest of the Constitution. Without it, the constitution is just some words scrawled on paper, that can’t be enforced. The old saying around here is “The Second Amendment is the only one you can lay your hand on when needed”
“Feel free to crib ours.”
I think our constitution has too much freedom in it for the Brits.
The 1st amendment codifies freedom of speech. The 2nd amendment guarantees it.

If that were the case, their Deep State wouldn’t fear them.
Hopefully the internal wars of the future will target the order-givers and policy-makers rather than those who simply follow the orders. I think it would be both more effective and more economical.
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.
We’d have to know who they are first.
Deep States’ frontmen are stupid.
The people hiding behind them are most assuredly not.
