Across the United Kingdom this weekend, people turned out to protest against the government’s immigration policies. But it goes beyond that: British elites, like those in America, hate their own country and its citizens, and have tried to make patriotism unacceptable. In Britain, you can get into trouble by displaying a Union Jack or, worse, St. George’s Cross, the symbol of England. Because England oppressed Scotland and Ireland, don’t you know.
For the British people, it is now or never, and they know it. Operation Raise the Flag calls on Brits to display their flags–a radical act, probably “far right” in contemporary lexicon. In some cases, the authorities are hauling flags down about as fact as beleaguered citizens can put them up.
It is hard to say how many people turned out for anti-migrant demonstrations this weekend, and, of course, there were counter-demonstrators, too. I am not sure about this, but my sense is that the counter-demonstrators agree that mass third-world immigration is destroying Britain, but they think that is a good thing. Here, it seems that police officers and spectators outnumber the demonstrators on either side:
It is easy to understand why ordinary Britons are unhappy about illegal immigration:
Four years ago, the Thistle City Barbican hotel was an average three-star hotel within easy reach of central London — close to the likes of Islington, the Barbican as well as the City itself. Since late 2021, however, the 460-room hotel has been under an “exclusive use contract” with the government to house asylum seekers.
Some of its recent guests have thrown TVs out of windows, set mattresses on fire and hurled them into the street, while criminal activity has risen in the surrounding area. Over 40 migrants listed at the hotel’s address have been charged with 90 offences in the past year.
The hotel that has drawn most attention by far is the Bell Hotel, an 80-room hotel in Epping, Essex. Thousands have turned out at regular intervals to protest after one of its residents was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. Epping Forest district council sought an injunction to stop the Bell Hotel being used for asylum seekers and was granted one by the High Court on Tuesday.
Who, exactly, is in favor of the current degradation of life in the U.K.? Pro-illegal migration forces seem to be the usual leftist gang. They denounce rich people, apparently unaware, as in the U.S., that most rich people are on their side:
Keir Starmer’s government is scrambling to appease angry Englishmen, but no one believes they mean it. There will always be an England? Not if the Left has anything to say about it. The hour is late, and England’s cause is desperate.
