Is The U.K. On The Verge Of 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.

The response by Britain’s establishment elites, and even its police, has largely been to ignore the offenses – and accuse those who point out the problems of being racist.

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.”

In recent days and weeks, thousands of protesters and counter-protesters have gathered outside “asylum hotels” around the country. The hotels are used to temporarily house newly arrived illegals.

Britain’s silent majority wants its nation back, but it knows it won’t get it without a fight. The left is used to intimidating its foes into silence through online campaigns, threats of violence, and loud demonstrations in the street organized by groups such as “Stand Up To Racism” carrying signs like “Defend Refugees, Stop the Far Right.”
