Pressure Building in UK – HotAir

I make no predictions when it comes to social movements because they are unpredictable, at least when USAID isn’t funding a “color revolution.”

But if I were Keir Starmer, I would be talking to my doctor about anti-anxiety meds and treatments for chronic migraines, because it sure looks like the pressure is building on the migrant issue. 





Late last week, the Epping Council won a court case allowing it to close a migrant hotel–until the Home Office appealed, winning the right to keep the hotel open even though it was acknowledged that it was a crime magnet and the site of sexual assaults. The government argued that the rights of illegal migrants outweighed those of Epping citizens. 

It was a stunning rebuke by the government to its angry citizens, reminding them who rules in technocratic Britain. And it is not citizens. 

Over the past couple of weeks, Britons have been holding their flag protests–English, Welsh, Scots, and Irish flags waved as reminders to government officials of who they are supposed to represent, and the response has been to declare that waving flags is hateful and incitement to violence. 





Perhaps kicking citizens in the teeth could be inciting? Because that is how people are feeling right now. 

So the protests have been escalating, with thousands taking to the streets despite attempts to discourage the marches and arrests for “racial hatred.” Just an hour before I wrote this piece, the local organizer of the Epping protests–which, by the way, were fully, not “mostly,” peaceful, was arrested. 

As citizens express their frustration with their representatives’ failure to address their legitimate concerns, the regime is escalating its repression. 

There is no rioting. No looting. Nothing like the necessary “public health” riots here in 2020 that our own politicians took a knee for. Just ordinary citizens who feel like they are getting abused, even when they play by the rules. They see their housing supply evaporate, their taxes go up, their standard of living go down, and look at how the government is using their money to house and feed illegal immigrants who are assaulting their children. 





The technocrats look down on these people as the rabble, declaring them unfit to be citizens or to have their voices heard. These politicians and bureaucrats will praise to the skies tens of thousands of Islamists carrying Palestinian flags through the streets of London, but declare a Briton waving an English flag to be inciting hate. 

Is it bigotry to point out that, along with the migrant wave, crime has escalated, and Britain is now the rape capital of the Western world? 

We are told that it is. And that is why the “grooming gang” crisis has persisted for decades. It is child sacrifice performed by bureaucrats. 

The fundamental problem here goes much deeper than the migrant issue. The migrant issue is a symptom, not a cause of the problem. 

It’s the ruling class’s contempt for the citizens they claim to represent. Importing migrants was a choice. These policies are a choice. The drive to censor and bully citizens is a choice. The elite look down on the plebs and lecture them. 





People are tired of being gaslit. They are tired of being talked down to. They are tired of being sacrificed. 

Will these protests lead to the necessary changes? I don’t know. But if they don’t, the next round of protests will be a bit less peaceful, and then the next even less so. 

Is diversity really our strength? You decide.
