Brits have not done revolutions since 1688. Even that was more a regime change with a Whig aristocracy deciding to rid itself of James II.

It’a now or never. Traditional Europeans will neither have the means or the numbers in the years ahead.

The United States and Great Britain both need revolutions. Maybe impeaching President Trump and a second Brexit referendum wouldn’t be so bad if they to revolutions in both countries.

They have less to worry about from the EU than they do from the millions of muslims they invited into their country.

[We don’t want to be part of the federal European superstate]

I agree with them. We’re all tired of various versions of the New World Order and the United Nations (just for starters). Already.


Daniel 7:7-8 King James Version

7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

The Rolling Stones wrote a song 50 years ago in support of the Red protests in the streets in Paris and London in ‘68.

Street Fighting Man is still “relevant” it seems.

Street Fightin’ Man - The Rolling Stones

Ev’rywhere I hear the sound
Of marching charging feet, boy
‘Cause summer’s here and the time is right
For fighting in the street, boy
Well now, what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock n’ roll band?
‘Cause in sleepy London town
There’s just no place for a street fighting man, no
Hey think the time is right
For a palace revolution
But where I live the game
To play is compromise solution
Well now, what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock n’ roll band?
‘Cause in sleepy London town
There’s just no place for a street fighting man, no. Get down.
Hey so…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighting_Man

Originally titled and recorded as “Did Everyone Pay Their Dues?”, containing the same music but very different lyrics, “Street Fighting Man” is known as one of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards’ most politically inclined works to date. Jagger allegedly wrote it about Tariq Ali after he attended a 1968 anti-war rally at London’s US embassy, during which mounted police attempted to control a crowd of 25,000.[5][6] He also found inspiration in the rising violence among student rioters on Paris’ Left Bank,[7] the precursor to a period of civil unrest in May 1968.

Mick Jagger explained in a 1995 interview with Jann Wenner in Rolling Stone: “Yeah, it was a direct inspiration, because by contrast, London was very quiet ... It was a very strange time in France. But not only in France but also in America, because of the Vietnam War and these endless disruptions ... I thought it was a very good thing at the time. There was all this violence going on. I mean, they almost toppled the government in France; de Gaulle went into this complete funk, as he had in the past, and he went and sort of locked himself in his house in the country. And so the government was almost inactive. And the French riot police were amazing.”

(Keith) Richards said, only a few years after recording the track in a 1971 Rolling Stone interview with Robert Greenfield, that the song had been “interpreted thousands of different ways”. He mentioned how Jagger went to the Grosvenor Square demonstrations in London and was even charged by the police, yet he ultimately claims, “it really is ambiguous as a song”

...The song was released within a week of the violent confrontations between the police and anti-Vietnam War protesters at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.[11] Worried about the possibility of the song inciting further violence, Chicago radio stations refused to play the song. This was much to the delight of Mick Jagger, who stated: “I’m rather pleased to hear they have banned (the song). The last time they banned one of our records in America, it sold a million.”[13] Jagger said he was told they thought the record was subversive, to which he snapped: “Of course it’s subversive! It’s stupid to think you can start a revolution with a record. I wish you could.”[13]

Keith Richards weighed into the debate when he said that the fact a couple of radio stations in Chicago banned the record “just goes to show how paranoid they are”. At the same time they were still requested to do live appearances and Richards said: “If you really want us to cause trouble, we could do a few stage appearances. We are more subversive when we go on stage.”[13]

...Jagger continues in the Rolling Stone interview when asked about the song’s resonance thirty years on; “I don’t know if it [has any]. I don’t know whether we should really play it. I was persuaded to put it [on Voodoo Lounge Tour] because it seemed to fit in, but I’m not sure if it really has any resonance for the present day. I don’t really like it that much.”[8] Despite this, the song has been performed on a majority of the Stones’ tours since its introduction to their canon of work.

Go, U.K. go. You really really do not want to become Europistan. And while you’re at it, your wonderful universities have become wimpized by allowing students who appear to not even have gotten close to A levels are now “reading” some pretty awful and simplistic stuff. Cut that out. We’ve already lost most of our ivy league (save for STEM). And the low IQ losers here are really chewing at STEM.

even now the 68 Red revolutions are the stuff of legend.

In May 1968, Paris was burning. Out of the student uprising came a new wave in French music that matched the country’s mood – darker, and more introspective than yé-yé, France’s cultural revolution allowed the previously separate worlds of chanson, jazz, pop and film soundtracks to blend into each other. Laden with strings and sample-ready rhythm tracks, this new sound was exemplified by Serge Gainsbourg’s “Histoire De Melody Nelson”, but it wasn’t an isolated classic – this was a golden age for French pop.

how “odd” that the annual torching of cars in France and “no go zones” cause by rioting from muslim immigrants is not considered the same level of threat by the status quo government.

Dear King George:

It took only a third of the population of the colonies to kick your ass out of America.

Does history rhyme?

There is now no reason to doubt that the UK has to leave the EU.

I think almost all Conservative leaders know that Britain has got to go, probably even May.

Violent protests are not in order.

Let the clock do the ticking.

How are they going to do it without guns? Their police and military have guns. The average Brit doesn’t. Burn all the cars you want wankers. Without some fire power you’re screwed.

The Brits have the same problem the French and many of the other Europeans have.

They have loaded their countries with millions of murderous military age Muzzies who would be more than happy to support the current governments who are welcoming them in by the shipload and are lavishing them with free benefits. If the same stupid and feckless governments survive, they will soon outbreed the locals and take over and impose Islam on everybody.

These Muslims will be numerous and violent street soldiers supporting the current regimes when the real crunch starts.

The EU’s fascism is evident in the “your vote only matters when you vote our way” attitude.
