The UK is in a terrible place as people up and down the land are reacting in different ways to the challenge laid down not by other communities but by the desire of the political elite for everyone of vastly different environmental and cultural experiences to live side by side. This symptom of a failure of separate communities to live in harmony is playing out on our streets and in so many ways the experiment of multi-culturalism, the political decision for communities from all over the world to live untouched by Britain’s culture within its borders, seems to be over.
To clarify, nothing from the TDL Times is insinuating superiority of a race, nation or people in terms of some kind of Darwinian context nor will the TDL Times ever support violence of any kind from anyone.
What has been going on in the last week or so is the tip of the iceberg of what is more obvious day by day; people in the UK are tired of the cultural state of the UK and have had enough. The protests and riots must be understood in context and there needs to be a bit more of a realisation that this issue has had a journey, and what a journey.
It all started in 1997 when Tony Blair opened the doors to mass, unskilled immigration. “Rub the noses of the right in diversity” was the call from the man who wanted to start the New Labour experiment of Globalism, Middle Way Socialism and American/Continental-inspired constitutional change. He got his way and Britain began importing people from all over the world. Since 1997 the population of the UK has risen by 10 million, 95% of that due to immigration. And at the same time a cultural, constitutional and economic crisis has been steadily rising and we feel it in our pockets, our public services and on our streets.
Brexit was the first real rejection of the Globalist ideal. To say Brexit was not about border control is missing the point by a whopping margin. Successive governments have been elected promising to limit immigration and yet they have not done so, maintaining the Multi-Culturalist experiment as the benefit of showing increased GDP (it goes up when more people enter the country by default) as well as feeling like a moral victory is being achieved based on one policy. It’s lazy politics.
The political and media class have done all they can to make sure the experiment maintains itself to the point where the media just blatantly gives up on reporting the news because the experiment was clearly failing as the numbers simply rose of people not from the UK, which by default means an increased risk of migrant crime. You could be forgiven that minority communities are havens of peace, love and all the rest in between.
Not only that, the political elite could fool themselves, thanks to the lack of scrutiny on these communities, into thinking that the joy of capitalism (not really British culture), would civilise these people as the rampant individualism promoted by the joys of making money and spending on stuff would cut through the cultural differences. That’s how America has functioned and the political elite thought we could do it here. The ‘melting pot’ analogy was pretty much the doctrine underpinning multi-culturalism. In the end people would give up hardline ideas in favour of money.
For first generation migrants this might have an argument, at least in the main. But the problem was what happened to the second generation. The amount of people who have lived sheltered lives within the UK within their own community means that the community in Britain HAS to break down. As the hard left denigrate not only British culture but capitalism in the wake of such reconstructive destruction minorities have wondered through believing very strongly that Britain and capitalism is off, and THEIR culture is back on the table. As Blair and the One Nation Tories did all they could to quash Britain and capitalism (through the increasing size of the state), the general environment second generation migrants found themselves in was so different to their parents that they simply could not form bonds with others in work or others in the wider British community.
So what do you have left? You have to reflect something within your community and thus why not reflect the traditions of the community that you are part of outside of Britain? And, if that’s the case, the value of others is less and less. Suddenly, anything goes with regards to the host nation’s monuments, infrastructure and common decency. Anything goes with regards to the treatment of women and others. Anything goes with regards to the value of people’s lives. Before you know it, children’s lives seem to be up for debate. This is by no means always what happens but the absence of a British culture, nation or desire to improve one’s life economically means that people need to find some kind of value structure elsewhere. The hard left find it in the trans debate, in Gaza or in whatever oppressor/oppressed narrative they can find. Those in ghettoised communities will find it in other places.
Does this get reported or reflected for the Great British public? No. Here’s the news from July regarding the scrutiny of minority communities, most of which you’ve never heard (sourced from Pr. Matt Goodwin’s substack: https://www.mattgoodwin.org/p/what-did-you-expect-britains-protests):
On July 4th, at the election, several Muslim MPs were elected to the House of Commons after a campaign of abuse, harassment, and intimidation, displaying zero respect for our political institutions and ways of life.
On July 11th, the new Labour government announced it would release 5,000 prisoners early in September, with most having served 40% of their sentence.
On July 15th, we learned London’s Metropolitan Police had not solved a SINGLE petty crime -burglary, car theft, phone theft- in three years, across 166 areas.
On July 17th, it was reported that a Jordanian refugee, Mustafa al Mbaidan, who had assaulted a female police officer in Bournemouth, was spared community service on the grounds that he cannot speak English.
On July 18th, two asylum seekers, Yousef Garef and Amin Abdelbakar, who stole a Rolex worth £25,000 from a tourist, were spared jail.
On July 18th, that same day, mass rioting in minority communities broke out in Harehills after social services took four Romani children into social care.
On the same evening, rioting broke out in East London’s Bangladeshi community, following political unrest in Bangladesh, with rocks thrown at police officers and cars smashed in communities that are majority Muslim.
On July 23rd, it was announced that Anjem Choudary, Britain’s most famous Islamist, was to be sentenced for directing Islamist terror on Britain’s streets.
On the same day, a British Army Officer was repeatedly stabbed outside his home by Anthony Esan, a member of a minority community.
On July 26th, protests broke out after footage emerged of Greater Manchester Police taking action against Fahir and Amaad Amaas —two brothers who were later revealed to have severely assaulted armed officers.
On July 27th, six arrests were made after a drive-by shooting in the town of Watford.
On July 29th, reports emerged that a man had been stabbed to death, with two others injured, following a knife fight in a park in East London.
On the same day, there was the mass stabbing and murder of children in Southport.
On July 30th, a mass brawl involving machetes erupted on the streets of Southend.
On the same day, it was reported that a homeless Kurdish migrant had pushed a man onto the tracks at a London Underground station after feeling ‘disrespected’.
And, also on the same day, it was reported that another 3,000 migrants have entered Britain illegally on small boats since Labour took power less than a month ago, taking the total number of crossings by mainly young male migrants from countries like Afghanistan, Eritrea, Sudan, and Syria to around 130,000.
Did you hear about some of these?
Here’s the problem for the political elite; we are hearing about this now. Enough concerned people are now cutting through the barrier of what the media WANTS you to hear and thanks to social media and others we have the story. Yes, fake news also happens but when the general media fails to do its job others have to do it and that comes with consequences.
The Prime Minister’s speech on Friday showed that the political and media elite are sticking to the experiment as much as they can, so much so they are actively putting the resources of the state towards protecting minorities and treat them differently compared to the native population in terms of policing, rhetoric and symbolism. Whilst the police don riot gear and armour to the protests and riots, the police also wore rainbow laces and took the knee to BLM protests and riots.
Why? Let’s look at history.
During the BLM protests and riots, not allowed during COVID, the police let the protests occur, took the knee and gave them as much space as possible, despite rioting, looting and arson. The public watched and thought ‘oh, so we can ignore rules too’. The January 6th protest in America was an example of people learning from the leniency given to others. “What about us” was the question asked.
The constant protests in London over the Israel-Gaza war showed people that protests are allowed all the time anywhere and as the protesters shouted Islamist and genocidal slogans the story for everyone else is “you can protest any time in any way you like with any message”.
Finally, in Harehills, Leeds, as minorities protested and rioted because social services were doing their jobs the police ran away showing that mob rule is basically permitted.
Then, Southport happened.
Here is the problem. Because of the polarisation of society and the entrenchment of the elites into their experiment, incidents involving their experiment showing failure are isolated incidents. Incidents involving something that they dislike or disagree with or are antagonistic to their world view or their experiment are patterns. No more is this more obvious than Starmer’s referring to the protests as ‘far-right’ - the hallmark of someone trying to show a pattern; use pejorative words to describe millions of people (much like the term ‘racist’ too). If an incident comes from an ethnic minority it is called a ‘mental health incident’ and is thus isolated.
The more wedded you are to a poltiical experiment the more you lose sight of reality. It is what brings down dictators and regimes in history again and again. You lose sight of reality and believe in your own propoganda so much you cannot see when the war is lost (figuratively). It takes an external stimulus to force you to see that the world has changed and you are on the losing side. What we are seeing is the external stimulus coming to the fore. Remember that we have one of the least legitimate majority governments in our nation’s history. This was always going to happen, especially when the government is technically at its weakest with the electorate.
This is not going to get better. The experiment which required everyone in the UK to look on with benign indifference is over. The experiment itself will continue until a new government is formed, as Starmer cannot retreat from his disastrous speech last Friday willingly. Multi-Culturalism, pushed on people without their consent, is now feeling the consequences of that.
Maybe in the future this might even be the end of the beaurocracy that we live under (not democracy, just look at the size of the civil service and policy committees we don’t vote for yet hold so much power). Maybe politicians will end their reliance on committees to make decisions for them. We might even get better politicians some day. But it is up to the people to make it happen. We don’t ever want this to be because of what happens on the streets but at the ballot box. But the ballot box failed us due to the electoral system. We voted for a hung parliament and for parties to come together to reflect the will of the people. We got a socialist destructive government residing in the ivory towers that millions of people can’t and don’t want to reside in.
Hopefully we see resolution but at this point one of two things can happen:
A mass arresting by police of ringleaders and dissidents and the silencing of opinion through censorship and control of speech and information online, bringing us closer towards a police state.
The end of the experiment and all experiments unless it has the express consent of the people directly voting for it.
Let us hope it is option 2. The government is going for option 1.
Let us hope democracy wins.
