Is Britain heading for civil war? It would be foolish to write it off …

Unusual for the time of year, the radiant sun was setting over the picturesque city. It was the early evening of 5 April 1992, and while some Sarajevo’s residents were listening to the opera, lovers could be seen strolling along the Miljacka river. The following morning, the city woke up to bodies in the streets.

Admittedly, tensions had been rising for over a month as politicians and fascists politicised a murder at a wedding to sow hatred and division. But nobody expected it to come to this. How could a European city so rich in culture and on the road to development be torn apart by such brutal violence? Overnight, Sarajevo had become a byword for the dangers of ethnic division, ultra-nationalistic fervour, tribalism and wanton extremism.

Starmer attacks Musk over claims UK ‘civil war is inevitable’

Downing Street has rebuked Elon Musk after he claimed “civil war is inevitable” in the UK.

Mr Musk, the billionaire owner of X, made the comments on his social media site in response to a video of protesters shooting fireworks at police.

Footage of rioters clashing with the authorities clip was quoted by Ashley St Clair, a Right-wing commentator, who blamed the unrest on “the effects of mass migration and open borders”.

‘A Riot Is The Language Of The Unheard’

Reading The Messages From Great Britain’s Domestic Unrest

What is happening in Great Britain right now is of utmost importance to the United States and Europe. As of this writing, coverage in the Washington Post is far down the digital front page, and in The New York Times not at all. And if you read the Post story, you will see that it is entirely a tale of “far right” yobs causing mayhem. No real context at all. This is the Regime narrative. That’s why you Americans are not hearing about this, or are hearing about it in a narrow, distorted way. Pay attention.

Kill a fallacy to save immigration

… Above all, it’s time to discard the misguided notion that the purpose of immigration is to fill labour shortages and build a bigger work force. That idea has been promoted by Canada’s business associations and adopted by the Liberal government.

More immigration doesn’t necessarily reduce labour shortages. A bigger labour force won’t necessarily make Canada richer. But a better labour force will.

Canada is run by greedy stupid people. It is entirely possible that the continued mass import of incompatible cultures will result in our own UK style anti-immigration riots.

New era of ethnic conflict exposes liberal Britain’s double standards

… Shocked by the jolt to their worldview, British liberals, for whom the depoliticisation of the political choice of mass migration is a core moral issue, have also blamed Nigel Farage, the media, the Conservative Party, the Labour Party and President Putin for the rioting, rather than the rioters themselves, who clearly expressed their motivation. There is a matter-of-fact social-scientific term for the continuing disorder: ethnic conflict, a term studiously avoided by the British state for fear of its political implications.


Liar.

̷F̷a̷r̷-̷R̷i̷g̷h̷t̷ British citizens and Muslims clash in fresh riots

Violent clashes broke out between far-Right rioters and Muslim counter-protesters on Sunday in a sixth day of unrest on Britain’s streets.

The disorder that has spread since the Southport killings showed no sign of abating over the weekend amid escalating community tensions.

In Rotherham, a hotel used to house asylum seekers was set ablaze, and another in Tamworth was targeted by anti-immigration protesters.

After Southport: the rage against the throng

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.

Inside Belfast’s Sandy Row riot

Syrian store – burned out

When the sun set last night, youths rioted in Sandy Row, a working-class Loyalist community tucked behind Belfast’s city centre. Turning the corner from the main road, bustling shops and bars suddenly morphed into an eerie scene of armoured Land Rovers and police cordons, smouldering bins and broken paving stones, as firefighters made safe the burned-out husk of a Sudanese cafe and barber, an early target for the night’s disorder. Police in full riot gear, some toting baton guns, formed shield walls or sheltered behind their armoured vehicles from occasional rocks and bottles, as Union Flags and red, white and blue bunting hung limply overhead.

Britain: This Machete’d Isle

I don’t know that I’ve ever written two extra posts on the weekend, but I’m just dumbstruck by what’s happening in the UK right now, and how it’s simply not showing up at all in the US mainstream media. As most of my readers are Americans, you need to know what’s happening.

There are riots and various violent civil disturbances all over Britain right now, all having to do with ethnic and religious clashes. If you are on Twitter/X, you may be up to speed. But most people aren’t.

GOLDSTEIN: High immigration policy undermining housing, healthcare and climate goals

It’s hard to know what the Trudeau government was thinking two years ago when it dramatically increased its immigration targets given the added pressure this has put on three issues it says are priorities — housing affordability, improving healthcare and reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions.

UK Anti-Migrant Riots: See if you can guess which side the press is on …

Balaclava-clad protesters swilling beer cans begin demo outside migrant hotel in Rotherham just hours after thugs tore cities apart in violent riots

Activists holding beer cans have began a protest outside a migrant hotel in Rotherham this afternoon, kicking off yet another day of violent riots which have seen cities torn apart across the UK.

Tensions are high between anti-immigration demonstrators and police, with the past few days seeing officers attacked, cars set on fire and innocent pedestrians targeted in the street.


Tommy Robinson stokes Southport riots — from holiday in Europe

Tommy Robinson has been stoking tensions over the Southport stabbings from thousands of miles away in southern Europe.

Analysis of the far-right activist’s social media posts suggest Robinson was in Spain last Tuesday as he egged on far-right thugs who clashed with police and attacked a mosque in the Merseyside seaside town.


Courts to be open 24 hours to crack down on rioters

Courts will sit for 24 hours to fast-track sentencing under government plans to crack down on far-Right riots that swept Britain on Saturday.

Ministers were locked in talks on Saturday night with senior members of the judiciary about bringing in emergency measures following clashes in major cities that left police injured.


How UK’s deep rooted Islamophobia problem stoked far-right riots

More ugly scenes have unfolded on the UK’s streets on Saturday, as police continue to grapple with a wave of far-right disorder across the country.

Cities in England and Northern Ireland saw violence perpetrated by anti-immigration rioters with police officers injured as objects such as bricks, chairs and bottles were thrown at them.


Shocking scenes as thugs set fire to FOODBANK and library in night of riots

A library and foodbank were torched by shameless thugs amid a night of rioting and chaos in Liverpool.

Dozens arrested after protest disorder spreads

More than 90 people were arrested after demonstrations organised by far-right groups descended into riots in UK towns and cities on Saturday.

There was unrest in Hull, Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester, Stoke-on-Trent, Blackpool and Belfast, with missiles thrown, shops looted and police attacked in some places. Other smaller demonstrations elsewhere did not turn violent.

Great Britain’s anti-migrant riots must be viewed as class warfare. As in Canada the elites in GB are largely insulated from their callous immigration policy decisions while the proles bear the brunt of that betrayal.

Stop blaming Russia for the Southport riots

‘Foreign disinformation’ has become a convenient excuse for the failures of officialdom.

It isn’t hard to find sticks to beat Russia with. The international, let alone national, charge sheet is long and serious, from invading Ukraine to imprisoning people on trumped-up charges to manipulating its own elections. But to blame Russia for fomenting anti-Muslim violence in Southport in the north-west of England this week is really quite a stretch. It is a claim that says rather more about this country than it does about Russia.

Britain ignored its ethnic conflict – This week’s riots won’t be the last

Following the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017, the aftermath, like those of other recent terrorist atrocities, was marked by what later revealed to be a coordinated British government policy of “controlled spontaneity”. Pre-planned vigils and inter-faith events were rolled out, and people handed out flowers “in apparently unprompted gestures of love and support” as part of an information operation “to shape public responses, encouraging individuals to focus on empathy for the victims and a sense of unity with strangers, rather than reacting with violence and anger”. The aim was to present an image of depoliticised community solidarity within the state’s benevolent, if not adequately protective, embrace.

PINDER: Who gets to come to Canada?

Al Quds Day – Queen’s Park Toronto

The issue of immigration has become one of the leading political and economic issues in the developed world. With many countries, including Canada and the US, in large part built by immigrants, the current waves of immigration in North America, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere are both a necessity and a problem.

During the first few centuries of the Industrial Revolution, the foundation of Canada and the US was established by the determination of hardy souls from many parts of the world plagued by poverty, lack of freedom, discrimination, and limited prospects. Our current demographic problem — the combination of aging boomers and declining birth rates — still makes immigration critical to the economic wellbeing of most developed countries.
