As I've been saying, and writing, for some time now, we should pay attention to what's going on in Europe, most especially the once-Great Britain, because they are farther down the road that the American left is trying to take the United States. Nowhere is that more starkly apparent than in the immigration issue, where the nations of Europe have thrown open the doors to wave after wave of "migrants" and "refugees" from every Third World Schiff-hole in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. 

There is now, most notably in the United Kingdom and Ireland, a growing backlash. Ethnic Brits and Irish people are growing increasingly angry about the cost, in financial and community terms. They are tired of seeing waves of "refugees" housed and fed at taxpayer expense, they are tired of their daughters being lured into grooming gangs, they are tired of the increase in crime, and they are tired of the uneven enforcement of the law, wherein an ethnic Brit or Irish person can be arrested for resisting an attacker if the attacker just claims the Brit made a "racist" comment.

There are signs that things may be about to explode, and if they do, it will change those nations forever.

For an idea routinely dismissed as “dubious” or an “obsession” of the political Right, the suggestion that Britain is embarked on the road to civil war has proved stubbornly resilient. Each new episode of disorder seems only to revive it. The disturbances that followed the Henry Nowak trial, the attempted beheading in Belfast and the rioting that erupted afterwards again forced questions of social cohesion, public order and political legitimacy into public view, renewing the argument over whether Britain is moving in the direction of open conflict.

The question almost asks itself: if the idea is really so ridiculous, why does it keep coming back? The headlines might fade, but the underlying issues fuelling the debate clearly do not.

The question does indeed keep coming back, and it keeps coming back because the governments of Europe keep blindly accepting these waves of Third World "refugees" with very little in the way of screening or vetting. Events like these are the result:

Those are only a few. There are too many more. And the law enforcement in both Britain and Ireland seems far more focused on clamping down on "racist" comments by ethnic British and Irish people than on these obvious problems with people from the Third World who clearly have no intention of assimilating.

In the United Kingdom, the right-of-center Conservatives have been shouting about this problem for some time now. But they, along with the British left, are placing the blame in all the wrong places.

Conflict over identity politics in the UK could lead to civil war in the long term, Kemi Badenoch has said.

In an interview for a BBC Radio 4 documentary, England's Identity Crisis, the Conservative leader warned of rising tensions as groups on the left and the right direct "more and more hostility" towards people of every ethnicity.

And:

A last stretch of this strange, uneasy summer remains. Between now and September, there could conceivably be further outbreaks of the kind of violence that rightwing politicians and their media allies have been frantically predicting. But for now, behold a fascinating spectacle: a country quietly refusing to chaotically combust, despite being endlessly encouraged to do so.

It's the hostility towards the native people of their country that should rightfully concern these political people. That's where the outrage comes from.

What would a civil war in Britain and/or Ireland look like? Well, it would be ugly beyond description. Such a conflict would not be like the English Civil War, or even nasty conflicts like the Spanish Civil War. It will not likely be fought between organized military people on either side. The police and military, as attenuated as they are in both the UK and Ireland today, would either be co-opted by one side or the other or would simply melt away. When things get ugly, when the gloves come off, they will get very ugly very quickly, as though with the flipping of a switch, the protests would become riots, and then outright attacks. No target will be off-limits. Atrocity will breed atrocity. And neither the UK nor Ireland would emerge from the conflict with any great return to glory, but they would be changed, deeply and fundamentally, in ways that we cannot predict.

And, should the American left get its druthers, it would set the United States on this same path. And if you need another example of why this fall's midterm election and the 2028 presidential elections are important, here you are.

In 1915, the poet and writer G.K. Chesterton penned a poem called The Secret People, in which he described the typical reserve of the English:

Smile at us, pay us, pass us; but do not quite forget;
For we are the people of England, that never have spoken yet.
There is many a fat farmer that drinks less cheerfully,
There is many a free French peasant who is richer and sadder than we.
There are no folk in the whole world so helpless or so wise.
There is hunger in our bellies, there is laughter in our eyes;
You laugh at us and love us, both mugs and eyes are wet:
Only you do not know us. For we have not spoken yet.

Well, they are speaking now. And there's no telling what the result may be.
