It depends on how you define “Civil War,” I suppose. The government has systematically disarmed the population, so it’s hard to imagine a straight-up citizens vs soldiers war with mass casualties.
On the other hand, it sure looks like ordinary Britons are rising up and standing up against an establishment that is determined to suppress them and to double down on the things that are creating the discontents, and that violence will escalate until there is a massive change in British politics and a fundamental rebalancing of power in the country.
Citizen resistance expressed as low-level political violence is increasing. Something akin to the first Russian Revolution in 1917–mass uprisings leading first to increasing repression, followed by an abdication of the Czar and a rebalancing of power. The second revolution installed the communists in an armed takeover, but even that was not a civil war as we think of it.
How have we got to the position whereby we allow foreign heritage run councils to erect Pakistan and Palestinian flags yet allow the same councils to take down England’s St George flag?#raisethecolours https://t.co/HKtOdB6BSo

Whatever you want to call it, Britain’s politics are being upended, and we are likely at the tipping point. As Beege wrote, the British–particularly the English–are fighting back against the government using a lot more than words or electoral politics. English people are done with the migrant hotels, the speech suppression, the coverups of gangs sexually assaulting girls, and the remaking of Britain by the British government.
I keep seeing videos of brainwashed Britain-hating leftists taking down UK flags, councils taking down flags, people calling the police to say they feel “alarm and distress” at seeing our flags.
There is a solution to this…
We need to put up EVEN MORE flags.#Raisethecolours pic.twitter.com/2BA1H3bnit— Lee Harris (@addicted2newz) August 24, 2025
When the flag of the country is defined as hate speech by the establishment–the government rejecting its own citizens–that government will likely fall. And it will fall not in a normal election cycle, but through mass protests amounting to a color revolution. And not one spurred on and funded by USAID, but a genuine one that borders on the edge of violence.

The flag protests are just one small part of a larger movement. Ordinary Britons are taking to the streets, even laying siege to “migrant hotels.”
🎥 England Flags Spark Concern Amid Anti-Immigration Protests
Flags have appeared along streets in England in recent weeks during a politically charged summer dominated by debates over migration.

Instead of hotels, families are now protesting outside Mansfield Police station, demanding protection from illegal migrants. pic.twitter.com/uSYJHtDyca

Protesters just won a court victory, in which a judge ruled that a migrant hotel in Epping should not be established.
The government is appealing. Not only is this political poison, but if it wins the appeal–which seems quite possible–it will spark a new round of violence.
🔎 Analysis: Asylum hotel appeal is political poison Labour feels it must swallow.
The government believes it has no choice but to challenge the High Court injunction in Epping, whatever voters may think ⬇️ https://t.co/s9GJi2fmN9

It isn’t just a struggle over policy–the UK is nominally a democracy, and the will of the people is very, very clear. It is a struggle for power, and somebody is going to win, and each side is determined to crush the power of the other.

Government officials accuse the majority of people they represent of being hateful and in need of suppression. Recently, we saw the contrast between Lucy Connolly being imprisoned more than a year for a tweet that was online for a few hours, while a Labour government official was let off for demanding the murder of English citizens.
It is being called “two tiered justice,” but at base it is an establishment exercising power over people it disapproves of. It is two-tier, of course, but it is more than that. It is a power struggle, with ordinary citizens being terrorized by their government.
I attended the protest outside my local illegal migrant hotel. The hotel is next door to a local school, on Tuesday one of the migrants sexually assaulted a 14 year old girl.
I attended the local protest against this today.

Situations like this cannot persist forever, and I sense that something is breaking in British society that cannot be repaired without the ousting of the establishment and its complete replacement.
We are witnessing a turning point.
Concerned locals and families are now outnumbering the far-left by a HUGE margin at protests against illegal migrant hotels.
This is happening across the entire country.
I hope this continues.

The atmosphere is getting explosive, proving that Elon Musk was right that (something like) a civil war is inevitable in Britain. We can argue the semantics, but not the reality.
When Elon tweeted this, the UK government even suggested extradited Musk for making this simple observation.

So far the government’s reaction has been to threaten people–and even punish people–for simply stating facts and sharing them.
Not only is the U.K. asking to extradite Elon Musk for Meme Crimes…they’re now telling people that they’ll be prosecuted if they share any information on the current U.K. Riots. pic.twitter.com/iaNcAnAkdF

But it can’t go on forever. Reality always wins in the end. What can’t go on forever simply won’t.
