They say that on Saturday 13th September some 150000 people (though some estimate this figure to be as high as 350000) came out to vent their concerns about a range of issues including illegal migrants, taxes, energy costs, grooming gangs, housing, crime, and the economy. The protest march orchestrated by Tommy Robinson would not normally get such traction. However, the Prime Ministers’ betrayal on core issues, and the government’s incompetence on many national issues meant that people with concerns got an opportunity to protest under the flag of the nation. We have witnessed Labour Councils refusing to fly the national flag and the Union Jack. And when Starmer said he’ll smash the gangs, one year on and it seems the gangs have smashed Starmer.
Let's get one thing straight upfront - I don't support Tommy Robinson or his ilk. This does not mean that at times he does not raise a legitimate issue or have something important to say - e.g. Pakistani grooming gangs etc.
As far as Unite the Kingdom protest march is concerned, most media attempted to show that it was all 'far-right' and mostly 'violent'. Both of those assertions being totally wrong.
Most people on the march were ordinary Brits. And many were women, granddads and grannies etc. Yes, there were far-right nutters whose only wish was to create problems. But let’s be honest, let’s compare what happened yesterday with the Notting Hill Carnival.
NOTTING HILL: Two murders; 8 stabbings; 528 arrests; 50 cops injured.
UNITE THE KINGDOM: 25 arrests; 26 cops injured.
The figures are as I have them today. It’s clear from the above which of the two is bad for London, yet many in the media and politicians on the left wanted to paint everyone on the Unite the Kingdom march as racists. If we persist in delivering two-tier policing, two-tier news, two-tier governance – is it any wonder the masses are saying, enough is enough.
Violence in all its forms is to be rejected but let us also tell the truth. The responsibility rests with our media, commentators and politicians to tell the truth. Lying will lead to anarchy. And anarchy will lead to civil disobedience. And civil disobedience is the beginning of the end of a nation united.
My concern is very simple. The relatively small number of far-right nutters who still exist want any excuse to vent their violent frustrations. And when they do, they will target anyone who looks like a Muslim (yes, no one wants to tell it as it is). Their immediate target will be the Muslim community, but please remember, these numptees are not very intelligent. They will target everyone who looks like a Muslim. And hate and discrimination is often indiscriminate, and Hindus, Sikhs, Jains will all be targets. Mosques, Gurdwaras and Hindu Mandirs will all be targets. And let’s not forget their traditional enemy, the Jewish community who will also be targets.
For several decades politicians on the left have pandered to the Islamists. This has led to them not only protecting the likes of the Pakistani grooming gangs, but as more information becomes available, it seems some politicians and even the cops took part in these heinous crimes against white vulnerable women and girls.
The Tories failed to deliver on their promise of sorting out illegal migrants and grooming gangs. Again, because we had gutless leaders and Tory MPs who are more akin to the Labour right then being a true-blue Conservative.
Is it any wonder that Nigel Farage and Reform are doing so well in the polls? All Farage had to do was tell the voters that all illegal migrants will be thrown out as soon as possible. Yes, so simple. And this nonsense of not being able to do it legally has always been a wet excuse. The British can opt out of any international treaty that infringes its national sovereignty. We can kiss the ECHR goodbye with great ease, the only thing missing was the will to make it happen.
Reform is in a perfect place; they are the only party that does not have a good or a bad track record. They just don’t have any record, which ironically is their USP. Their message on illegal migration has been loud and clear, and it resonates with the ordinary Brit from the left, the right and the centre.
The Unite the Kingdom protest march is in my view the final warning to not just the politicians, but to the nation itself. If we don’t see seismic changes to national policies soon, I fear the madness that it will unleash will impact and affect the good law-abiding LEGAL migrants. Hindus, Sikhs and Jains, who are the most integrated and the most contributory ethnic groups are likely to suffer the most.
In my view, to save this nation we need the Labour government to collapse as soon as possible. Starmer represents the best they have, and he is a failure. The rest are all left and far left comrades who will be pandering to the extremists. The Tories are finally waking up, but can the public trust them again? And that leaves just Reform UK. And let me make my position clear, I am not in the Farage camp, and on any other day I don’t believe this nation would be in the Farage camp either. However, given the state of play we have today, I can see why voters may well place their trust in Reform.
Will the Unite the Kingdom protest march unite the people? Will it unite them to bring to power Reform? And if they do, are we sure we will end up with a ‘United’ Kingdom, or will Dis-unity be the real winner?
