Is Britain About to Explode Into Civil War Over Illegal Immigration?

The United Kingdom - Great Britain - was, as I'm continually pointing out, once America, Original Recipe. This was the country that faced down Nazi Germany alone after the fall of Western Europe, until Hitler attacked east into the Soviet Union. There was a great political cartoon from that period that summed up the spirit of the British people at that time; it depicted a British soldier, an Enfield rifle in his hand, standing on a rock against which ocean waves were breaking. He was shaking his fist at a sky full of German airplanes. The caption: "Very well. Alone."

There are many among the British people today who would still show that spirit. The trouble is, they are in the minority now. They have been subsumed, not only by the spineless British left, but by hordes of immigrants, legal and illegal, who are being housed and fed at the expense of the British taxpayers. This is already leading to unrest, and it's not an impossible notion that it could lead to civil war.

It might be easy to dismiss the growing unrest in Britain, where crowds of fed-up and violently angry citizens are suddenly taking to the streets to end what they see as the tyranny of woke multiculturalism and horribly failed immigration policies. But right now, it looks as if the country could be nearing some kind of national breakdown or split, one with major global ramifications.

Are we going a little too far in seeing a possible breakup or civil war? Not at all. The social pressures from a near non-stop influx of immigrants, legal and illegal, have been building for decades in Britain, long one of the most generous nations in taking in immigrants from its former colonies abroad.

But that generosity came with a high price: Large numbers of unassimilated immigrants in most cities who share neither the culture nor religion of their hosts, and commit serious crimes in their neighborhoods. They form “rape gangs” that groom young victims and “share” underage British girls as if it were a sport.

In simple English - no play on words intended - Britain is no longer British. Many of the nation's major cities have been overwhelmed. Even small villages in the countryside are being invaded. And, no, I don't think for a moment that "invasion" is too strong a word. Until January of this year, we were seeing just such an invasion ourselves, right here in the United States. When the British people protest, they are accused of racism, they are jailed, and they are silenced.

That's changing. The British people aren't having it anymore. They are starting to push back.

There's a problem. What can the British people do? The first English Civil War was essentially a conflict between the forces of democracy, who supported Parliament, and the royalists, who supported the king. That's a gross oversimplification, but a complete narration of that conflict would eat up more space than I have here. That conflict was nasty, as civil wars tend to be. But a second civil war, a war that unfolds from the current immigration controversy, would have a religious element to it, and those can be the ugliest wars of all.

Especially - let's acknowledge the elephant in the room here - when Islam is involved. That's just a fact.

This Is the Bullet We Dodged: Brits Have No Idea Who Is in Their Country


One former British Army officer, who served in conflict zones including Bosnia, where he doubtless saw the results of such a civil conflict first-hand, isn't optimistic about Britain's prospects.

But recent remarks from prominent retired British Col. Richard Kemp can’t be ignored. He warned that Britain and the rest of the West face a “primary threat” from the “hard left and Islamist extremists who have, together with other causes, come together to threaten the cohesion and the culture, the entire culture and political existence of the West.”

Kemp, who served in the Gulf War, Bosnia and Afghanistan, and also held senior intelligence and security positions in government, noted: “I don’t know what the timeframe is, but I would go so far as to not just predict civil unrest, but civil war in the U.K. in the coming years if this situation continues, which I believe it will.”

Bear in mind also that, in addition to being silenced, the British people have been disarmed. The question becomes, what would the army do? What would the king do? As for the British Parliament, there are no Churchills there now. We've already seen what the government is liable to do, and it won't help the British people who are being invaded and replaced. Yes, replaced. Not so much a plan, perhaps, as simple incompetence, but the result is the same either way.

It's almost certainly too late. The British people, yes, are fighting back. But the time when they could have done so effectively has passed. The last remnants of what was once the greatest empire in the history of mankind will, in the next few generations, disappear.

Remember, we just narrowly escaped having this happen here. And let there be no doubt: If Democrats ever again gain all the levers of power in Washington, they will put us right back on that path, as fast as they can. Watch our British cousins, learn, and remember.
