View from USA: Civil war is coming to Britain

The local native population riots have become common practice in Britain. The English are unhappy with the dominance of immigrants.

By now you might have seen a video clip circulating on social media of a defiant and terrified young Scottish girl wielding a knife and a hatchet to fend off the advances of a migrant man who allegedly had been harassing her and her younger sister.

You can hear the fear and anger in their voices, a mix of desperation and rage and confusion. You can also hear the man’s voice, taunting them. At one point one of the girls cries out, “Don’t touch my little sister, she’s only twelve!”

The entire sordid history of Britain’s civic collapse — stretching back decades to the Rotherham rape gangs scandal and forward to today — is in some ways contained in the striking image of this wisp of a girl with knife and hatchet in hand, facing down a predatory migrant, stresses John Daniel Davidson, a senior editor at ‘The Federalist’.

It’s a scene that encapsulates the total loss of legitimacy of the British government and a portent of what comes next: civil war.

This isn’t hyperbole. Britain right now shows all the signs of descending into sustained civil conflict and eventually open civil war. The ruling elites have broken the social compact by importing mass numbers of foreigners who are hostile to the native population. The government has repeatedly and consistently signaled to the ethnic white majority that there is indeed a two-tiered system of justice — and that they are on the lower tier.

Rupert Lowe, a member of Parliament and the chair of the Rape Gang Inquiry, released a statement saying the inquiry had identified 85 local authorities “in which the gang-based sexual exploitation of children is taking place, or has historically done so.”

Most telling, however, was the map that Lowe released with his statement, showing exactly where these rape gangs are. It should come as no surprise that they are mostly in working class, economically downscale regions of Britain, where de-industrialization has gutted entire communities, created high unemployment, high rates of child poverty, and left young British girls vulnerable to predation by Pakistani rape gangs.

All of this is intolerable, it is too much, and it will lead inexorably to rebellion and bloodshed and war. You don’t have to take my word for it. Back in February, Louise Perry posted a much-discussed podcast with David Betz, Professor of War in the Modern World at King’s College London. Betz is not a kook. He’s a specialist in the study of insurgency and counterinsurgency, information warfare, cyberwarfare, and propaganda, who has advised the British government and military over the course of a long career.

Their conversation stemmed from Betz’s 2023 article in Military Strategy Magazine, “Civil War Comes to the West,” in which he argues that “civil war is likely to dominate the military and strategic affairs of the West in the coming years, contrary to the typical expectations of the future war literature, and generally the strategic logic which shall underpin such wars.” In his conversation with Perry he is blunt, saying that it’s not a question of if civil war breaks out in Britain, but when.

Part of the reason Betz decided to write the piece and speak out, he says, is because to him the signs of impending civil war in Britain are obvious and need to be taken seriously.

Nowhere is it more apparent than in Britain, where the political establishment, both Labour and Tory, have broken the social compact by imposing mass immigration on a native population that doesn’t want it. Moreover, the immigrants in question come from predominantly Muslim and Hindu countries with cultures and customs fundamentally alien to Britain. Native Britons, especially the majority ethnic English, have taken notice of what is effectively an alliance, arrayed against them, of the political elite and Third-World immigrants.

In England, a resistance to this alliance is taking shape in the form of a battle over national symbols that presages a larger conflict to come. “Operation Raise the Colours,” as it’s called, is a campaign to plant the distinctive red-and-white St. George’s Cross flag and the Union Jack in as many public places as possible. It’s an act of national solidarity and patriotism directed, unmistakably, at a hostile government that’s obviously trying to erase the ethnic English majority. For the past week or so, images and videos on social media have shown Englishmen tying St. George’s Cross flags to lampposts, painting it on buildings and roundabouts, hanging it from bridges all across England, and marching in the streets holding their banners high.

The political establishment has predictably responded by branding such displays “racist,” tearing the flags down, and throwing the book at anyone caught in the act.

This state of affairs will not go on forever. There will come a flashpoint, likely in the near future, where everything will change. Maybe it will be another incident like the standoff between the migrant man and the girl in Dundee. Maybe it will be a mass stabbing by a migrant targeting young girls like the Southport stabbing last year, which triggered a riot. Whatever it is, Britain will not return from the brink once it happens. War will be joined in earnest, and it will be a contest to the bitter end. Either the regime will be overthrown or the native population will be subdued.
