The invasion of Ceuta must be the final nail in the coffin of globalism
Spiked ^ | 31 July 2026 | Brendan O'[Neill

The storming of the Spanish enclave by 50,000 foreigners is a testament to the nihilistic cowardice of Europe’s elites.

Can we say ‘invasion’ now? What other word is there for the rough intrusion of tens of thousands of young men into the sovereign territory of a foreign nation? Surely not even the sappiest leftist in his tattered keffiyeh and ‘Refugees Welcome’ t-shirt would describe the thuggish gatecrashing of an independent nation as ‘asylum seeking’? That might be the one and only upside to the extraordinary events in Ceuta yesterday: the death, at last, of euphemism. The impossibility of any longer dressing up the West’s suicidal abandonment of its borders as ‘kindness’.

The scenes from the Spanish enclave at the tip of North Africa are staggering. An estimated 49,000 people, mostly Moroccans, mostly men, gleefully intruded upon the territory of the Spanish kingdom. That’s around the same number of people who illegally sail to Britain in a year. They scaled border gates and overwhelmed those charged with protecting Spanish lands. Viral clips show men punching the air as they swarm the enclave, clearly thrilled with their incursion into a sovereign state. Even the Spanish press is feeling the death of euphemism. ‘Ceuta, invaded’, says the front page of ABC, a newspaper of record, alongside an image of thousands of men streaming along Ceuta’s beach.

The mass storming of Ceuta has focused the minds even of Spain’s fatally apathetic ruling class. All of Ceuta’s parties, both right and left, have called on Madrid to send in the army to reinforce the border with Morocco. Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez promised an ‘immediate response’. Yet even if the Spanish manage to tame this searing crisis of sovereign rule – and that’s a big ‘if’ – the lessons of it should reverberate...

Thank you very much and God bless you.

For make no mistake – our rulers’ abandonment of our borders is a direct attack on us. They’re essentially saying there is nothing about the Spanish way of life or the British way of life that is worth defending. Your country, your communities, your history, your citizenship, your welfare state – it is all so spectacularly worthless that it isn’t even worth putting a fence around it to protect it from people from foreign lands. What the globalist elites depict as kindness to foreigners is in truth a savage assault on the rights and dignity of citizens. Enough is enough. Stop the boats. Fortify the borders. Save nationhood from these nihilists disguised as altruists.

Commies LOVE open borders til it comes to their wealthy communities. Look at what happened when 50 of them, JUST FIFTY, were sent to Martha’s Vineyard, took them less than 24 hours for them to be kicked out, they used the excuse “Well we dont have the room for them” well guess what, America doesn’t have room for them either so ship their asses back. In reality the REAL reason why they wanted them gone, they love open borders, but they dont want the dreck in their community, will bring down property value

I see Kamala has a new mansion in Malibu.

It could easily handle a few thousand “migrants”.

Lol.

Islam has a globalist plan too and the dumbasses who are pushing globalism in the west can’t see that they are helping them.

The Globalists should move to India and Africa if they like them so much

It's more probable that it's the final nail in the coffin of Europe.

Glenn Beck said this morning that Soros and his son paid to get leftists into the judicial system and prosecutors’ offices in Spain.

Those monsters keep busy.

News said cops there are prevented by law from arresting the invading hordes and the few who are doing so are themselves arrested by other police. Amazing.

I'm just reading Camp of the Saints for the first time, and I understand now why the Left works overtime to ban it. Even more so than Ayn Rand, Jean Raspail has an uncanny knack for deadly accurate scripting of the absurdities that come out of the mouths of his fictional Socialist politicians. The excuses they make as the armada approaches southern France are so similar to what EU politicians say today one wonders if Raspail owned a time machine.

If every young person in Europe had a chance to read Camp of the Saints before attending mind-warping universities, collectivist politicians would quickly disappear from the scene, all of Soros's money notwithstanding.

I don't see it as any nail in the Globalist coffin, much less the last. It's certainly a lifting of the veil, but the beast underneath isn't going anywhere and it's laughing at its victims.

Several EU member nations have expressed suspending or withdrawing from the Schengen plan as a response, and it's at least a start. That localizes the problem to the pipeline countries, bad news for Spain and Greece and Italy, to be sure, but better news to such as Germany, Sweden, and France. That the UK continues to be victimized is a failure of government so profound it's likely to be existential. It looks to me like a race between national sovereignty and population replacement on everyone's part, and right now the betting's even.

Didn’t Spain turn even more left this last election? Because of Trump or something?
