Britain: Once Great, but No Longer, Thanks to Unfettered Third World Migration

Irish playwright and commentator George Bernard Shaw is apocryphally held to have said, "England and America are two countries separated by the same language." While it's unclear as to whether Shaw actually uttered these words or not, what isn't unclear is the "special relationship" that the United States has shared with the United Kingdom, first described by Winston Churchill in his famous "Iron Curtain" speech in 1946.

I come to the crux of what I have traveled here to say. Neither the sure prevention of war, nor the continuous rise of world organization will be gained without what I have called the fraternal association of the English-speaking peoples. This means a special relationship between the British Commonwealth and Empire and the United States.

Britain - "Great" no longer - has fallen on hard times; this is largely due to policies put in place by the government of the United Kingdom, and what's bothersome is that the United States is heading down the same path - and that path is leading to lawlessness. The Telegraph's Sherelle Jacobs has some things to say on the topic:

We live in a country where politicians love to talk about “justice” – from human rights lawyer Sir Keir Starmer to Theresa May, the supposed slayer of “burning injustices”. With “liberty” the love language of the Right and “equality” the crusade of the Left, justice is just about the only unifying value left in our country. But like many, I have completely lost faith in British “justice”. Quite the contrary, ours feels more and more like a lawless country where there is no justice at all.
We seem to be suffering a slow-burning collapse in law and order. The year has started with a spate of horrifying stabbings. A 17-year-old boy was knifed to death in broad daylight in Birmingham city centre on Saturday in what may have been a case of “mistaken identity” that chillingly echoes Sven’s murder. The country is in the grips of a machete-attack wave as A&Es warn that children are being left with “war zone” injuries. Knife crime is once again surging, after briefly falling during the pandemic.

There are enemies both foreign and domestic vexing Britain just now. On the domestic front, they are suffering from eco-terrorists blocking roads; while this is annoying at best and infuriating at worst, at least the Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil idiots aren't attacking people with machetes.

Foreign-born residents, though, are attacking people with knives and machetes and in numbers far out of proportion to their percentage of the population. This is what happens when your government throws open the borders to all and sundry, letting in masses from Third World countries who - shocker - act like people from Third World countries.

There's an elephant in the room, and Ms. Jacobs isn't avoiding it:

When are we going to have a frank discussion about the fact that, while they only account for 13 per cent of the capital’s population, black Londoners account for 61 per cent of knife murder perpetrators and 45 per cent of knife murder victims?
One sees the same political correctness in the debate over illegal Channel crossers and negligent parents who allow their vulnerable children to be put in harm’s way. Justice requires a society to have a strong sense of responsibility as well as rights.

In recent years, Britain has brought this on through a witch's brew of policies; they have encouraged Third World immigration, they have disarmed the populace, and they have failed in every attempt to keep order on the streets. Now the country has "no-go" zones, being governed effectively by Sharia law.

Do those policies sound familiar? They should; the United States is following Britain down this same path. Our borders are thrown open; waves of people enter the country illegally every day, our authorities let them in and not only allow but facilitate their travel to population centers. Our national government seems unable - or unwilling - to act. We have very little idea who many of these people are, where they intend to go, and what they intend to do once they get there, and some of them are flat-out threatening.

But hey. We're becoming more diverse.

American political figures should be looking at Britain, and Europe in general, as object lessons in how not to run a country. Unfortunately, too many here are bitten by the "diversity" bug, and many more are crying crocodile tears over the "refugees" and "asylum-seekers" who arrive at the border spouting carefully rehearsed buzzwords that get them allowed in, no questions asked.

Look at Britain, folks, and you are very likely seeing our future.
