I have thought that a civil war is brewing in the UK. I always thought it would be fed up conservatives that finally had enough idiocy that would start it. But this looks like the left could be triggered into starting it due to their lack of impulse control and love of UK-hating immigrants.

Just a bit more so you can see that I was able to read the entire article. Perhaps they limit the number of articles people can read, and you have hit that limit.

From the Top pf the article:

British citizens will be given priority over foreigners under Nigel Farage’s plans to scrap the Human Rights Act, one of Reform UK’s most senior figures has said.

On Tuesday Farage will unveil plans to enable the arrest, detention and deportation of hundreds of thousands of people who come to the UK in small boats.

Under the plans, the UK would formally withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights and other international agreements. The Human Rights Act, which enshrines the convention in British law, would be replaced by a British Bill of Rights which would only apply to British citizens and those who had a legal right to live in the UK. The legislation would not include any reference to human rights but instead refer to terms such as protection of liberty and free speech.

Zia Yusuf, a senior ally of Farage, said: “It will have nothing in it to help activist judges to stop flights taking off. It will prioritise the rights of British citizens over foreign ones. We are not going to flinch. We’re not going to be intimidated. We are going to deliver for the British people. It’s the only way to restore this country. To stop the invasion from happening.”

From the end of the article:

Yusuf said: “It’s a huge undertaking. We think it’s absolutely necessary. The country is in a state when it has totally lost control of its borders.

“The British people have had more than enough. It’s a national security emergency. It’s also a fiscal emergency. If you take the cost of accommodation and the cost of asylum seekers you get to north of £7 billion. This has to be done. It has to work. This is a pretty transformative legal reset we’re doing here.”

He claimed that the boats would stop coming to the UK “immediately”.

Angela Eagle, Labour’s border security minister, said: “Nigel Farage is simply plucking numbers out of the air, another pie in the sky policy from a party that will say anything for a headline.

“We are getting a grip of the broken asylum system. Making sure those with no right to be here are removed or deported.”

Chris Philp, shadow home secretary, said: “This big reveal is just recycling many ideas the Conservatives have already announced.

“Nigel Farage previously claimed mass deportations were impossible, and now he says it’s his policy,” Philp added. “Who knows what he’ll say next.”

I think the British are on the brink of a Civil War, so Farage gives them an alternative. Hopefully Farage will make that civil war unnecessary. 🙂👍

BTW, I was able to see the whole article and I do not have an account there, so perhaps you too can see it if you click on the link. 🙂👍

I think that might save Britain. And I hope it will, indeed.

This is why I detest the insipidly coy term “illegal invaders of military age”. The fact that they are “military age” is irrelevant when they can just cross a border, get involved politically, and reproduce in numbers. Easy peasy in Great Britain.

Immigration without assimilation is invasion.

After initially appearing quite squishy on the issue, Nigel seems to have figured it out. The English people have had enough.

“Human Rights Act and replace it with legislation” in UK.

Constituional Rights and Privileges in the US.
In the US everyone, illegal immigrants, citizens, everyone has Rights. But there is not “Right” to live in the US.

To live in the US is a PRIVILEGE. When one is removed from the US the PRIVILEGE is removed. No rights are touched...or at least there is no rational reason to touch them.

The US has a better basis than the UK. That is a PRIVILEGE we enjoy that Brits don’t.

A UK subject can get thrown in jail if he says something that offends a muslim.
The same does not apply to offensive muslims. Britain has fallen. I see a few people carrying flags, but that won’t do it. Your government does not want those people out, or they would be out. We aren’t too far from that in the US. At least we still have the means to deal with it when the time comes. We won’t be carrying flags!

Nigel Farage and Reform lead the opinion polls I think that call of fallen is premature

Maybe a better idea would be to deport the ILLEGAL immigrants.
