After Southport: the rage against the throng
Spiked ^ | 3 Aug 2024 | Brendan O'Neill

Fear and loathing of the white working class is palpable in the elite’s response to the unrest.

Something extraordinary happened in the UK this week: the murder of three working-class girls was turned into a moral panic about working-class communities. Ruthlessly, with something approaching relish, the media elites dragged the public gaze from the frenzied stabbing of girls in a seaside town to the supposed frothing bigotries of the seaside town itself. In elite circles, angst over the evil visited on the children of Southport gave way to a foreboding over what lurks within Southport. In those terraced houses, with their white working-class inhabitants, so susceptible to online lies, so given to racial animus. These people want us to fear not the wicked individuals who terrorise our towns, but the towns themselves.

It has been a chilling spectacle. I am struggling to recall the last time the moral narrative around a horrific event was so mercilessly rewritten by those with cultural power. The week started with the grim news that a young man had invaded a Taylor Swift dance class in Southport in north-west England and used a curved kitchen knife to assault its attendees, leaving three girls dead and others seriously injured. And it ends with the elites focussing their fury and energy almost exclusively on the civil unrest that followed that act of barbarism. On the ‘moral deviance’ less of the killer who laid waste to three precious lives, than of those small sections of working-class society that erupted in fury at his killing. The establishment is back in its comfort zone – fretting over the alien morality and unwieldy energy of the white working class.

UK government says those that are angry about young little UK girls being brutally murdered, are the thugs.

And those who are flooding the country with these murderers are the law abiding good guys?

Sounds just like a U.S. government con job.

Luckily the UK Fascist Government has disarmed the peasants .... should be easily able to have the Gestapo overwhelm them.

The real fight starts when the govt tries to J6 the rioters. If they all run and hide then it’s over.

This seems like the elites planned this.

If these british were smart, they'd be destroying THE ELITES.

THEN you take over, and DESTROY ISLAM. First things first.

These british are weak, stupid, and half of the whites are supporting their eventual subjugators.

“As this awful week draws to a close, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that we are ruled by people who fear the anger of the masses following acts of inhumanity more than they do the acts of inhumanity themselves. “

If they feared the anger of the masses more than they fear the supporters of the thugs who commit the acts of humanity, they’d be going after the thugs instead of the masses.

So where’s their King? Elizabeth would have said something by this point.

Ooops, I forgot…there were many pix of Charles visiting mosques and of course he was the one who declared himself, instead of “Defender of the Faith,” to be “Defender of the Faiths,” which I assume incudes Islam and anything else that comes down the pike.

The difference is the white brits are taking to the streets and making themselves heard. Whereas here anytime there’s a massacre of whites by blacks, whites just yawn.

It is indeed, the UK patriots should be very concerned that a Jan 6th type false flag operation is in the works.

I'm not kidding, something is about to go down that will give the UK government the ammo they need to crush the opposition once and for all. You can see it coming and so can MI-6.

I suspect and fear you are correct.

TPTB will tolerate no dissent from their plans for us.

What we want or like does not enter the equation. We’re just tools for them.

29 million of Britains 67 million people are white males.

If just one million of them decide to pick up a weapon, the socialist/marxist government in London and it’s rainbow police force are toast.

I think this one demographic fact is what Musk is referring to.
