The murder of three young girls has sparked mass protests across the UK. Can the British people take any more?

Following the news that three young girls from Southport had been brutally stabbed to death and ten more children severely injured in a terror attack ‘mental health episode,’ working-class communities across the United Kingdom exploded with anger. Riots and protests broke out across the country, with over 900 people now arrested for their role in the disorder.

The Southport attack was the straw that broke the camel’s back for many, and after years of being gaslighted by successive governments, the people of Britain, predominantly the working class, felt forced to take to the streets to demand they be listened to.

It seems that the new Labour government did not expect this reaction, let alone riots.

I have to highlight due to the real threat of being arrested for having an opinion by Stalinist Starmer: all political violence is wrong, but as the great Martin Luther King said, political violence is the “voice of the unheard.” The reality is that the British people have had enough of being ignored—hence the collective catchphrase of the protests: “Enough Is Enough.” It’s widely accepted that the vast majority of people in Britain believe mass immigration is one of Britain’s major problems, with YouGov showing in June 2024 that 66% of Brits believe it has been too high for the last ten years.

Communities across the United Kingdom are fed up with the rapid cultural changes being imposed on them, the increase in migrant crime, such as grooming gangs explicitly targeting white working-class girls, and the costs of migration. For example, the estimated £8 million a day of taxpayers’ money spent on housing illegal migrants in luxury accommodation.

When did these problems first arise?

Problems with migration date back to 1997, when Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair began the process of mass migration into Britain. My own hometown, Portsmouth, is one of the worst in terms of the rate of heroin or morphine misuse deaths, which many locals attribute to the influx of Turkish and Pakistani migrants into the city in the early 2000s.

The fact that the British people have never voted for mass migrations or porous borders has left many feeling they have no choice other than to engage in protests.

But why has the political class ignored Islamisation, crime, and ghettos?

The reason why Britain has been allowed to deteriorate to such an extent is because our political class are cowards. They refuse to deport illegal migrants as they are scared of being called racist by the liberal media. They are scared to reduce immigration numbers as they are worried leftists on social media will label them ‘far right.’ They are scared to demand immigrants integrate as they are concerned about being labelled ‘fascist’ by far-left activists. Our politicians have surrendered Britain to the woke mob only because they haven’t the spine to simply say, “No.”

As someone who has spent a significant amount of time in contact with government officials and Members of Parliament, I would also go as far as to say that as these politicians often live in middle-class, gated communities, they have no appetite to stem the tide of migration as it does not personally affect them. Similarly, most metropolitan liberals are ideologically blind to the damages of mass migration, ignoring the endemic problems of migration, such as increased violent crime, whilst celebrating ‘diverse food.’ This blinkered perspective amongst the political class is commonly referred to as the Westminster bubble, as politicians are out of touch with their voters.

In the demonstrations, we are witnessing a double standard on the part of the police: forceful with the demonstrators and tolerant with the far Left and Muslim groups that even carry weapons.

The “Enough Is Enough” protestors have been demonised by Two-Tier Keir, a policy of double standards, who branded them all as ‘far-right thugs.’ Whilst there were certainly some very nasty people involved in the rioting, including genuine Nazis, the vast majority of people were concerned local citizens who have a genuine grievance about their hometowns being transformed into filthy, crime-ridden ghettos by unsuitable, unskilled immigrants from the developing world.

This demonisation by Starmer, and the media has allowed the police to violently persecute patriotic locals, as there are no repercussions for officers; in fact, they are often promoted for taking a tough approach with those right of centre.

But many police officers are suffering from Islamist violence.

Yes, but Islamists in Britain are a protected species. We’ve all seen the video clips of police officers placating armed Islamist goons, begging them to leave their weapons in the mosque, or in some cases, we even saw police officers running away from Islamist thugs.

The establishment genuinely fears Islamists and the wider Muslim community, as they know if the imams or the mosques put up a flare, there will be thousands taking to the streets who are willing to commit extreme violence against anyone they encounter. Thus, rather than provoke the Islamist community, by enforcing the law, police officers disappear from the streets, and these communities are allowed to police their own areas.

And the far Left?

Far-left activists are also largely untouchable with regard to law enforcement. They hide behind woke group names such as Stand Up To Racism or Unite Against Fascism, in order to try and present themselves as morally superior to whoever they’re protesting. These tactical names also make these far-left groups sound like the ‘good guys’ in media reports, as they imply that they are fighting racists and fascists, which is rarely true.

The Left is also very well funded compared to the Right, so it can afford top legal representation for violent leftists, making any chance of convicting them slim. Liberal journalists from both left- and right-wing British newspapers often attend and support left-wing protests, providing another level of cover for the violent far Left, as any move from the police to clamp down on left-wing criminality is met with ‘police brutality’ or ‘racism’ headlines from the press, further hamstringing officers on the ground.

Is that why the police have not yet arrested members of these groups despite the fact that images of attacks on demonstrators just for wearing a Union Jack have been broadcast?

Yes, the Left and Islamists are given free rein to attack and harass patriots, and if a patriot resorts to self-defence, it is often he who is arrested, regardless of whether he was the victim.

Alongside the above, hardened leftist activists have infiltrated all of our public institutions, from schooling to the police, known commonly as the long march through the institutions. Those with right-of-centre views are unlikely to advance through the ranks of the police, which, coupled with diversity quotas, has allowed leftists to capture the police hierarchy. This is evidenced by the police’s focus on clamping down on free speech over actual crime, and that’s without mentioning the pandering to trendy minority causes, such as adorning police cars with ‘Pride’ rainbow patterns. Our police force is no longer a neutral institution; instead, they have become heavily politicised.

Hate laws only exist for the British?

Of course, due to the subjective nature of ‘hate speech’ laws, they are often applied to silence the voices of right-leaning individuals, whilst leftists, in comparison, are allowed to be overtly racist and antisemitic without consequences.

I will give the example of when I spoke at a rally to protect our war memorials from Islamists last November. We had a mob of around 200 Palestine supporters pitch up opposite us who had begun chanting “Nazi scum off our streets.” I replied that “as they hate Jews, they’re the real Nazis,” to which I was informed by a senior police officer that if I called them Nazis again, I would be arrested for using “language likely to cause distress or alarm.”

The government has started to prosecute protesters, but throwing protesters in jail will not stop the causes of the protests. Does the government propose any solutions to stop the failure of multiculturalism or only to fight the ‘far Right’?

Ultimately, the main theme behind the “Enough Is Enough” protests is anger over increased crime levels in migrant communities. In order to stop the protests, Starmer is jailing the ringleaders and people who have committed petty crimes, such as gesticulating and shouting towards police, that normally would be ignored by officers. British prisons have been overcrowded and at maximum capacity for years, so in order to jail the “Enough Is Enough” protestors, the Labour government has announced they will be releasing murderers and rapists back onto the streets of Britain, as clearly being right-wing is the greater crime … This release of hardened criminals will likely cause migrant crime to again increase, which will fuel the anger amongst the working class and cause more protests and, unfortunately, more possible rioting.

A very striking scene has been to see Catholics and Protestants demonstrating together in Belfast. What do you think about this?

While I am a firm believer that Northern Ireland is an integral part of the United Kingdom, I am always pleased to see Christians unite to protect one another against an external threat. It’s time for the different denominations to rally together and stand up for persecuted Christians in the West.

What will happen in the coming days and weeks?

My prediction is that there are unlikely to be any more large riots in the near future in Britain, as people have begun to calm down. There will, however, continue to be protests throughout Britain demanding the end of mass migration.

It’s likely we will also see leftists and Islamists continue to attack patriotic protestors, and there will be mass brawls, which the media will try to paint as ‘far-right’ riots.

Innocent people will receive harsh jail sentences, which will further polarise communities, and it is likely this will cause more unrest.

We need our political leaders to address the problems associated with mass immigration to help dampen tensions, but in the current situation, this is simply a fantasy.
