The England we love is lost. If we don’t change, America will be, too

A terror attack, mass protests and institutional responses show an England on the edge

I went to England on a history vacation. It turned into an archaeological expedition, uncovering the bones of a once-great civilization.

All the tourist sites are still there. You can still see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, recall the "V" for victory in the Churchill War Rooms or be inspired to pray at Westminster Abbey. But those are mere historical artifacts, like the pyramids of Egypt or the Acropolis in Greece. The ideals and most of the people who believe in them are long gone.

I was in London less than 24 hours before a terror attack killed two people in a Manchester synagogue. Police also killed the terrorist, a Syrian-born, 35-year-old immigrant named Jihad Al-Shamie, who they said had pledged himself to ISIS. Two innocent Jewish people are dead and a walking, talking metaphor was the cause. Jewish citizens admitted the assault was shocking but not surprising, given the rise of antisemitism in England.

Western Civilization is collapsing. Doubtful that can be stopped.

Now, the government has to try to look good. It told universities they must "take stronger action to protect Jewish students," according to Reuters. But, a new YouGov poll says one out of five Britons holds antisemitic views. The message to Jews in England seems disturbingly similar to what it was in 1930s Germany: get out while you still can.

It certainly is. People did this to themselves, and us.

Among my three British friends with whom I volunteered for the Israeli Defense Forces for several weeks, one has left for good, one is thinking of moving to Israel and the last is prepping for the Civil War.

Agreed with did this to ourselves. We’re to busy passively watching the drama and munching popcorn, expecting others to save us. We can’t even be bothered to vote.

“The UK needs to give up their nuclear weapons.They can no longer be trusted with them.”

Pakistan, China, India and Russia have nuclear weapons. Can they be trusted? Can a future United States be trusted with nuclear weapons? Who controlled the nuclear launch order authority during the Biden administration?

It’s too early to give up on Britain. It can be saved but it will take a lot of bloodshed if they have the stones to do it.

The door wasn’t kicked open by the muzzards. The door was opened by the Brit politicians and their progressive global minions and they walked right in. They didn’t even have to fight.

The weak and pathetic Brit leaders are no match for the muzzards. They sold their own people out and led to their own ruin.

I visited England in the 1960s, and it was the old England—the men wore derby hats and carried canes and bobbies kept law and order. When I last visited in 1985. I thought the pilot had made a mistake and landed in Beirut.

Leftism and Islam are twin global cancers, and they are metastasizing.

Pakistan is Islamic, not Islamist and their military controlled the nuclear weapons.

It appears that Islamists will conquer the UK.

I think not. In time things will be set to rights in England. They are changing now as I write this. It will not be easy and it might be a bit bloody, but it will happen. It may well take a century. We need an election in England, and a step down from the Liberal Left. It will happen in due time.

It is not surprising that the British don't have the drive and backbone to stop the muslim takeover of their country.
The muslim plague is growing here in America as well and our leaders don't have the "stones" to deal with it either.

The west and non-muslim world must soon admit to themselves that Islam must be erased from the world or all will be lost before the end of this century.

Democrats think they are using the muslims in America as allies to dominate republicans and conservatives but it is the democrats who are being used by the muslims.
Once muslims gain power here the democrat freaks, sexual wierdos and squawking Karens will be the first to get thrown off the tall buildings.
