The British State Needs WWIII to Stave Off Civil War
American Thinker ^ | 24 Dec, 2025 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 12/24/2025 4:28:11 AM PST by MtnClimber

But who wants to die for Big Brother’s woke State?

Oliver JJ Lane, a writer and editor for Breitbart London, writes frequently about the growing censorship regime in the U.K., the public’s distrust of both institutional government and Establishment politicians of all labels, the official cover-up of Muslim “grooming” gangs that target and rape British children, and the increasing backlash of native Britons against a ruling class that prioritizes “multiculturalism” and “diversity” over everything else. A running theme of his articles is that the U.K. is headed for civil war.

Last summer, Lane wrote a piece with this provocative headline: “Britain Preparing for Civil War but Uses Russian Threat As Political Cover, Says London Academic.” In the piece, he takes direct aim at the U.K. government’s 2025 National Security Strategy. That document argues that dangerous threats from Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran mean “we have to actively prepare for the possibility of the UK homeland coming under direct threat.” Citing the need to protect “critical national infrastructure” from foreign enemies who might soon invade the British Isles, the strategy includes plans to reconstitute a “Home Defense” force capable of preventing domestic “sabotage during a crisis” and protecting the country from “enemy states and terrorists.”

In response to the government’s warning of imminent foreign invasion, Lane drew readers’ attention to comments from Professor David Betz, an academic specializing in war studies, who called the National Security Strategy “logically absurd.” In remarks intended to refute the U.K. government’s “Russia, Russia, Russia” narrative, Betz argued that internal threats to the country are much more significant than any threats coming from foreign powers thousands of miles away.

Describing British society as “low trust, highly fractured, and highly politically factionalized,” Betz warned that “civil conflict” is “increasingly inevitable.”

The book 1984 was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not an instruction manual.

Would the British survive a WW III?

I guess that’s one good way to get rid off all the native Brits who will do the fighting and dying and hand the island over to muzzards, who will do the raping and welfare receiving.

It’s not going to happen, but I would love to see William ascend to the throne and assert political power and lead a civil war. I think he could do it. But the problem is that he wouldn’t do it.

The headline is misleading. The British government does not want or need WWIII.

They are using a fake threat of WWIII to bolster internal forces to guard against a threat to their power over their subjects.

The implacability of the Left is the guarantor of bloodshed. It’s that simple. I’ve known it consciously and said it to others since 1993.

They should send Starmer and the other elitists to the front of the front lines. The only question is would they get shot in the front or in the back.

What percentage of young Brits are willing to join a fight against the savage and much more insane Muslims?
This will come to pass but by the time that William will be King, he himself will already have been Sodomized by the Muslim hoards. No, I am afraid the British people no longer have that amazing spirit to stand up and fight for their freedoms as their forefathers did because of two simple facts:
The British are ignorant about what they face and they have no solid foundation upon which to draw their strength from.

Not the Church, not the State and not a patriotic conviction. All those virtues have been drilled out of their minds via “Education”.

Remember Pink Floyd’s, “The Wall”? We don’t need no education...”

A Labourite recently being interviewed, on GBN IIRC, refused to rule out postponing of the general election.

Three times in the same interview.

God help the UK.

I made this 18 hours ago because I knew that I would need it at some point.

Whoa...

It was on Sky News.

And the story has now disappeared from its website.

I’m afraid 😮 that the UK is finished; barring some miracle from Almighty God.

The USA was not too far behind under Son of Satan Barack Hussein Obama and Vegetable Lasagna Joe Biden.

Imagine if we had gotten that Dumb Democrat Floozy Kamala Harris.

Thank Almighty God in Heaven that we didn’t.

Different enemedia outlet on the subject...

Labour party chair now refusing to rule out delaying the next general election The Labour Party chairman left Sky News' Trevor Phillips stunned as she repeatedly refused to rule it out.

Here's how the HuffPost UK is spinning it...

No, Labour Has Not Said It Might Delay The Next General Election Party chair Anna Turley sparked a social media debate with her response to a question about voters on Sky News.

Note that this is occurring after elections were postponed in nine councils, and there may be more councils denied the opportunity to vote before the general.

Let us know if you find it.

Because I fully-expect just that to happen.
