As someone who would rather walk the peaceful political path when it comes to governing and managing nations, and as someone who would rather see a political solution to Europe’s migration and Islam problems. Because I want to see a political solution I have repeatedly warned about what may happen if governments continue to do nothing about the problems caused by the ideology of Islam and its followers. The combined actions of governments not dealing with the baseline problems caused by Islam, along with ignoring citizens who are voicing their concerns about these problems, is a recipe for disaster. As I have said so often on here removing people’s right to voice their opinions, even if some find such opinions ‘offensive’ and ignoring citizens concerns, risks a ‘pressure cooker’ effect. A state that forbids its people from openly and without fear of arrest or prosecution, expressing their concerns about the impact excessive immigration along with Islam and its followers, has had on their nation, may find that rather than reducing tensions, it increases them.
Those who find that their legal and peaceful avenues for objecting to the violent thugs and chancers who are posing as ‘refugees’ or to the building of unwanted mosques may, turn to other more violent methods of protest if thwarted by the state. This is especially true in those states, such as France Germany and Britain, that appear to act as if that there are no questions that the ideology of Islam needs to answer and where no objection to this ideology is tolerated. Pandering to the followers of the ideology of Islam and treating those who object to it as criminals, is the perfect combination for the creation of violent mobs of people who feel that the more peaceful, political paths have become useless. It also encourages desperate people under pressure from the results of immigration and cultural policies to feel that they have little to lose and everything to gain by kicking off.
This blog has covered a quite a few examples now of citizens taking the law into their own hands when they perceive that the police and the politicians are not doing their jobs. These stories can be found on this site by searching this blog for the term ‘I told you this would happen’.
For this episode of ‘I told you this would happen’ we travel to France, the Calais region to be precise, where followers of the Identitarian movement which is opposed to the Islamisation of European nations have turned out to protest the presence of the violent and destructive thugs of the ‘Jungle’ camp that is situated there.
The Left wing Independent news website has been covering the protest and although their political bias streams through their report, it’s obvious that a growing number of French citizens are getting frustrated with the current problems, especially France’s Islam and immigration related problems.
According to the Independent, French nationalist Identitarians, whom the Indy predictably and somewhat erroneously referred to as ‘far right’, blocked bridges and set up barricades in order to cut off the notorious Jungle camp from the residents of Calais. Residents it must be said, who have suffered greatly from the presence of the invaders who are biding their time before they attempt the illegal crossing of the English Channel to Britain.
Here’s part of the Independent report with, as is usual policy for this blog the original text in italics and my comments in plain text.
The Independent said:
Far-right activists have blocked bridges leading from refugee camps in Calais to the city centre while claiming to defend Europe against a “migrant invasion”.
It’s fair to say that the residents of the Jungle camp seem to have very little in common with genuine refugees fleeing oppression and a lot in common with those who could reasonably be described as ponces and chancers eager to take advantage of Britain’s notoriously lax welfare system. It would also be fair to see the mostly Islamic residents of the Jungle camp as ‘invaders’.
Protesters from the Generation Identitaire group burned tyres and clashed with police after setting up barricades emblazoned with their logo and the slogans “go home” and “no way”.
Slogans that I predict we will be hearing a lot more of in Europe over the next few years.
Far-right activists have blocked bridges leading from refugee camps in Calais to the city centre while claiming to defend Europe against a “migrant invasion”.
From what I’ve seen myself of the Indentiarian movement I believe than can’t be lazily slotted into the category of ‘far right’ or neo-Nazi. Many of their members are young people who are aghast at the sort of continent that is being bequeathed to them by the 1968 generation of Left wingers. They perceive, somewhat correctly that their French culture is being pushed out by more aggressive newer cultures especially the culture of Islam.
Protesters from the Generation Identitaire group burned tyres and clashed with police after setting up barricades emblazoned with their logo and the slogans “go home” and “no way”.
Police arrested 14 members of the group and seized one of their vehicles while dispersing the demonstration on Saturday morning.
Footage showed activists shouting anti-immigration chants as they were surrounded by riot officers with shields and batons little over an hour into the blockade.
Protests like this are the inevitable result of many of the pro-Islam, anti-nationalist and multiculturalist policies of European governments. In attempting to slay the monster of aggressive nationalism that twice in one century plunged the continent of Europe into war, politicians have gone too far and have promoted a hatred of patriotism and sense of place. This has had the result of alienating a very large number of people who although they may not hate their neighbouring nations, do not wish to lose their nation’s their borders and sense of physical place. This in turn has helped to create groups like Generation Identitaire.
A spokesperson for the local prefecture said the crackdown showed the government’s “determination not to let extremist movements manipulate the migrant crisis”.
In my view the only groups who are attempting to manipulate the migrant crisis are the Left. They are letting few opportunities go by to subject to opprobrium anybody who asks awkward questions about the number, composition and religious and cultural ideologies of these alleged ‘refugees’. The Left are screwing the pressure cooker lid down and the Identiarian movements are a reaction to this action.
Generation Identitaire claimed 130 people joined the protest and blocked three bridges, while officials put numbers at 80 and said only two were barricaded.
The group said it was aiming to prevent refugees entering the town centre, hailing the “martyrdom” of Calais.
The ‘refugees’ certainly need to be prevented from getting into Calais as they are making the residents as well as British truckers, lives a misery
“Once again, the socialist regime has chosen illegal immigrants over the defenders of Calais,” a statement said.
“The socialist regime, like the illegitimate ‘European’ commissioners, must understand that the people will not stand for it any more and that as long as they will refuse to re-establish the borders – both national and European – they will erect barricades.
“The only worthwhile ‘relocation’ of migrants is back to their country of origin.
“This is our home: Calais for the Calaisiens, Europe for the Europeans!”
Their suggestion for the fate of the residents of the Jungle camp is one that will be shared by many. They are not genuine refugees fleeing in terror as they have crossed the borders of many safe countries in order to get to Calais. They do seem to be chancers and violent and nasty ones at that. They are not the sort of people whom Britain should open our doors to because it’s likely that very few of them will be ‘conducive to the public good’. The invaders are showing their true selves by refusing sanctuary in France just as they’ve refused sanctuary in other safe nations. To be fair to the people of Calais and to the people of Britain, many who are fearful of what might happen should these invaders get here, should be prioritised. The residents of the Jungle camp should be returned to their countries of origin.
It appears to me from looking at the photos of this protest and pictures of other Generation Identitaire protests that the violence is increasing although it’s not clear from the images whether it was the Indentitarians or the French police who kicked off first. If this is correct then this is the violence that I warned would happen.
This violence and indeed the protest itself could easily have been avoided. It could have been avoided by allowing people to voice their objections to the more negative aspects of immigration and voice concerns about the Islamification of all too many French suburbs. It could have also been avoided by politicians being more realistic about the potential outcomes of some of their policies and putting their hands up and saying ‘we got it wrong’ when these policies went bad. Maybe just maybe if the French government had taken suitably harsh action against the Jungle camp, seen the residents of the camp correctly as dodgy, and put the law abiding Calais citizens first then protests like this may not have occurred. They may not have occurred, because they would not have been necessary.
Yet again I find myself, sadly I must add, having to say ‘I told you this would happen’. I don’t see these protests dying down I foresee them getting worse.
