It's beginning to look like the British people have had enough. Enough illegal immigration, enough "asylum seekers" being housed in British hotels at taxpayer expense, enough no-go zones, enough grooming gangs, enough knife attacks, enough rape. They've had enough, and this weekend just past, they sure let their government know about it.

The question is, how much good will it do? 

Mass protests have exploded outside migrant hotels across the country this weekend as furious families gathered in major cities including Birmingham and London.

A group of protesters, some draped in the St George's Cross, gathered outside the Castle Bromwich Holiday Inn in Birmingham on Sunday, while in London police stood guard at the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf.

In Norwich, demonstrators gathered outside the Brook Hotel, draping themselves in Union and St George's flags.

Hotels across Dudley, Epping, London, Manchester and Norwich have also braced for protests as communities seek to replicate the ruling for The Bell Hotel which, pending an appeal, must be closed within weeks

It comes after more than 30 protests under the Abolish Asylum system were held in towns and cities across the UK on Saturday. 

These included Bristol, Exeter, Tamworth, Cannock, Nuneaton, Liverpool, Wakefield, Newcastle, Horley, Canary Wharf, Aberdeen and Perth in Scotland, and Mold in Wales.

A separate batch of protests were also organised by Stand Up to Racism in Bristol, Cannock, Leicester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Wakefield, Horley and Long Eaton in Derbyshire.

Some of the protests were loud and heated. Watch:

 Note that the talking heads at Sky News Australia get one thing wrong: The British people aren't just "anti-immigrant." Most of them aren't right-wingers. By American standards, they are all probably left of center. What they are angry about is the waves of "refugees" entering Britain illegally, refusing to assimilate, and committing crimes against the British people.
 It's not just about the use of hotels to house these "asylum seekers" at taxpayer expense. It's about the fact that people, especially women, cannot safely walk past those hotels.

And, we might note, the British Red Cross is paying for the families of these "asylum seekers" to join them, which raises one question: If these almost universally young, military-aged men are really fleeing danger and seeking asylum in Britain, then why did they leave their families behind?

This is an example of the changes these uncontrolled immigration policies have wrought:

 

And even that video, while acknowledging the damage done to British culture, is careful to only show the immigrants as calm and law-abiding. That's not what the protests are about. The protests are about the drains on the British taxpayers, the rise in crime, in particular the attacks on women, and the refusal of the newcomers to adapt to British culture.

Here's the thing: It may already be too late. The Reform UK Party, led by Nigel Farage, is talking about turning this around, about sending the people who are in Britain illegally back home.

It's all very sad. Great Britain was once a great, proud nation. Without the British Empire, there would not be a United States, at least, not as it was and is constituted. But the years have not been kind to Britain, and its politicians have been much less kind, especially in recent months.

It's up to the British people, in the next few elections, to make things change. Will they?

Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
