What’s going on in the United Kingdom should have any American at full alert. While we overthrew the crown and broke away hundreds of years ago, the U.S. and the UK are cousins. What happens in one country often gets duplicated in another.
Alarmingly, despite breaking from the European Union, Britain is going down the European route of ever more restrictive policing and draconian punishment against its own population while foreigners commit crimes with seeming abandon.
The stabbing of 13 children—three of them died—at a dance class in Southport was the spark that set the tinder pile ablaze this week as riots broke out in several English towns and cities. This time, it was mostly native English people who were fed up. Their unheard frustrations about economic decline, foreigner crime, and the government’s generosity to “migrants” and stinginess to Brits boiled over.
Police have arrested more than 1,000 people in connection with the riots, which the mainstream media characterizes—like the British government does—as “far right.” This report makes sure to get the phrase “racist attacks” right into the first few paragraphs.
But it’s not just vandals and rioters getting put in handcuffs. It’s Brits engaging in wrongthink and wrongspeak. Take a look at these two glazed-eyed coppers walking into a man’s living room and putting him under arrest for something he posted on Facebook. We don’t know what it is, and we’re as confused as he is.
And what is this?
It appears to be exactly what it looks like: persecution of a native Brit by the police. How in the world does the question, “who the f*** is Allah” get an 18-month prison sentence? It’s no surprise, considering the creepy and dystopian “public service announcement” by the Crown Prosecution Service, which warns Internet users to “think before you post.”
If you’re in the mood for gaslight, be sure to watch it:
Twitter/X users are asking questions about the jailing of a man for asking an “impertinent” question that might offend delicate Muslim sensibilities.
Americans are doing their best to warn our British cousins, and our own countrymen.
Some are pointing directly at Islamism, which the UK government is terrified to do.
We hope this guy isn’t right, but it’s looking like he might be:
What say you readers? Can the English make Britain great again?
