The Brits Should Declare Their Independence, Too
American Thinker ^ | 17 Jun, 2026 | J.B. Shurk |

British tyranny is so repulsive that the British people owe it to themselves to overthrow their government masters. It has been two-hundred-fifty years since America’s Declaration of Independence recognized the Crown system as a threat to Americans’ lives and liberties. English-speaking peoples still suffering under the British yoke should follow suit.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a near-total ban on social media for children under sixteen years old. Ten of the most popular social media platforms are now age-restricted, with the toxic-leftist Bluesky platform a notable exception. The government claims to be “protecting children” from online harm. That’s a lie. If the British government cared about protecting British children, government ministers and police forces would not have covered up Islamic rape gangs targeting children for three-plus decades. The British government would not censor online reporting of foreigners murdering young Brits. The British government has systematically chosen to sacrifice the United Kingdom’s children.

This online “safety” measure must be understood, then, as a ruse meant to expand the government’s control over online information. Australia, New Zealand, and Canada have similar surveillance systems in place — all ostensibly erected to “protect the children” but designed, in reality, to control the speech of citizens. In these countries, the only way to communicate with other citizens on social media platforms is to prove your age by proving your identity. Mandatory digital identification systems are disguised as child welfare checks. The Brits and their Commonwealth vassals have built a surveillance system to monitor citizens’ thoughts, censor unapproved speech, and promote official propaganda.

Tyrant Starmer is pushing this online surveillance infrastructure while citizens in the U.K. are protesting and rioting against the British government’s murderous mass immigration policies — which have invited foreign rapists and killers to overrun the kingdom and slaughter citizens.

British whites are way behind the curve.
They should have revolted years ago.

Can the Brits vote their way out of this mess?

I used to think that was a real possibility. After all, Reform is surging. But now there’s Restore to split the opposition vote. The hapless Tories will siphon off some opposition votes, too.

What’s left? A revolution? The success of that would depend on what the British Army would do.

If I had to bet, I’d reluctantly bet that Britain’s slide into the gutter is irreversible.

Tomorrow is the Makerfield by-election.

We’ll see if they’re willing to try the ballot box first.

“British tyranny is so repulsive that the British people owe it to themselves to overthrow their government masters.”

America is celebrating the 250th year of beating British tyranny. What the Brits haven’t had is a civil war among the populous to gain independence from these ‘government masters’ that are bringing the 3rd World in along with 7th century barbarians, gonna be really messy.

Don’t want their human garbage here either, our borders should be closed.

Sadly, I believe you’re likely right.

Wouldn’t the irony be funny if the UK became an American colony, and the Americans cleaned house and restored Great Britain to sanity!

COVID was not a health emergency. It was a government excuse to roll out digital identifications, mandatory pharmaceutical injections, “vaccine” passports capable of monitoring real-time citizen movements, and online censorship.

It was the most audacious lie and fraud in human history. And since virtually no one has been held accountable for it, you can be sure they'll do something like it again.

Our last trip to UK, it was painfully obvious that islam had taken over. The immigration numbers their government spouts don’t add up. It has to be 3 or 4 times that number because every street, every shop, had Islamists or islamists signs/merchandise, etc.

I wish I had the chance to Britain before the fall. But once an empire falls, history has shown clearly that it never rises again. So it will be with the UK - and the US if we don’t push back hard now.

Tomorrow is the Makerfield by-election.

Labour will win.

Reform and Restore will split the "right-wing" vote just like what happened in 2024 with Conservative and Reform in the General Election.
