Recently I wrote an article entitled How To Create Racists the BLM Way, about how the actions of the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement along with those of the Far Left would create far more racialism and division than had previously existed in Britain. Unfortunately I appear to have been correct in my prediction.
Britain is not afflicted with some of the racial problems that afflict the United States and which have been used by the American Left to foment the appalling violence that we’ve seen in the USA connected to the Black Lives Matter movement. As I said in the abovementioned previous article, we did not have as the US has had things like Jim Crow or a damaging Civil War in part over the issue of slavery nor the chronological closeness to the institution of slavery that still is a factor in US culture. The last person born into slavery in the USA is said to have died as recently as 1948. Britain in fact was starting its moves against slavery in the 18th century with the Somerset Case of 1772 which held that chattel slavery had no place in Britain and that it went against Common Law. Britain’s abolitionist movement therefore kicked off several years prior to the US Declaration of Independence. The Somerset Case was not the end of slavery, ending it was a long and expensive process, but it marked the beginning of the end.
Of course I would be wrong in the extreme to say that racialism did not or does not exist in the UK, it’s a sad fact of life that there will always be racialists, some of whom will be White and some of whom will be Black or Brown or Oriental in appearance. But Britain had dealt quite successfully with some of the worst aspects of racialism and things such as landlords putting signs up on their doors saying ‘No Blacks, no Irish and no dogs’ are a thing of the past. You can’t get sacked from a job for being Black and mixed race families no longer have to huddle together in what used to be called ‘checkerboard alley’s’ for safety and security. We have moved forward in astonishing ways and have as a nation done our best to put into reality Dr Martin Luther King’s dream that people should be judged on the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin.
But Black Lives Matter and their far Left allies along with an appeasement based response to these groups threatens to undo much good that has been done by previous generations of Britons both White and Black. The violence that has come from the BLM / Far Left axis and the appeasement of this axis by everyone from Yorkshire Tea to various police forces has not just shocked, disturbed and frightened people, but has fed racialism by White Britons that either was not there at all or was mostly quiescent and to all practical intents and purposes non-existent.
The sight of policemen kneeling over the death of an American criminal at the hands of US law enforcement officers is pointless virtue signalling of the worst sort and is making lots of Britons ask the question ‘what side are our police on’? Are our police on the side of law and order or are they just virtue signalling to a mob in the hope that the mob will come for them last? The images of police officers dressed not in riot gear but normal street uniforms running from a baying mob in Whitehall or a man attempting to burn the Union Flag on the Cenotaph whilst police stand by and do almost nothing has shocked an disturbed many Britons. The failure by the various police forces to deal effectively and firmly with BLM, a group that is demonstrating in defiance of current lockdown rules, by forces who appear to have made this decision to treat BLM with kid gloves on racial grounds, has not gone unnoticed.
The actions by BLM / Far Left demonstrators, the inaction of the police, the abject appeasement of the mob by various politicians and companies has scared the living shit out of the majority of Britons and has either created racialist thinking in individuals where there once was none or has emboldened racialists who were once quiescent and kept that way by social and peer pressure.
The almost Maoist iconoclasm of the BLM /Far Left mob tearing down statues and vandalising monuments to Britain’s admittedly chequered history (no country’s history is ‘perfect’) is having a terrible negative impact on relationships between races in Britain today. Add into the mix of BLM /Far Left thuggery and police and Establishment appeasement of a Marxist mob the stresses and strains caused by weeks upon weeks of ‘lockdown’ and you can have the makings of a perfect and very nasty storm.
There is certainly a backlash brewing against BLM, the Far Left and the various appeasers. In Leeds a young mum who engaged in some virtue signalling and put a Black Lives Matter poster in her window found her home surrounded, according to the Daily Mirror, by an angry mob telling her that ‘All Lives Matter’. She took the poster down and although I think that in a free society she should be able to put such a poster up in her window what happened to her shows that things have got very febrile. We now have gangs of lads appalled at the sight of police officers failing to protect the monuments to our war dead going out to protect these monuments because they cannot trust the police to do so. From what I can gather a lot of these lads are not ‘far right’ as Britain’s increasingly debased and distrusted mainstream media are smearing them as. They appear to me to be scared people but also people angry that the police are allowing the destruction of Britain’s heritage and history and also the memory of those who gave their lives creating the sort of society that BLM / Far Left activists want to destroy. Whether people should defend these statues is another matter as turning up en masse for a confrontation with the Left is maybe just what the Left want. Such actions will certainly be portrayed by the dirty dirty smear merchants of the MSM as ‘the rise of the far right’. Former UKIP leader Gerard Batten is of the view that patriots should not foolishly give the Left what they want.
Racialism fed and created by the BLM / Far Left has also found expression online in places where it once was rare or non-existent. For the record I have to now be necessarily vague from here on in as I don’t want those mentioned to lose accounts for a mere opinion and neither do I want to see them victimised by the various ‘diversity goon squads’ that eat up too much of Britain’s police resources for the same reason. A liberal friend, liberal in the classical sense not liberal as in left wing, noticed that his social media feeds that contained a mix of ordinary working class Britons and classical live and let live liberals, were becoming increasingly dominated by anger at the actions of the BLM / Far Left mobs. Comments such as ‘Enoch Powell was right’ are according to my source coming at an increasing rate from the keyboards of those who in the past did not express any opinion one way or another about race or racial issues. Others are talking about incidents both in the North and East of England where groups of young men have got together to patrol town centres to counter what they see is a threat of violence and destruction from the BLM/Far Left grouping. This to me is anecdotal evidence that the actions of BLM/ Far Left mobs is doing more harm than good to racial relations in Britain.
We are in a dire situation in Britain at the moment. The combination of the stresses of what may have been an unnecessarily strict lockdown coupled with the activities of the BLM/Left axis, the anger engendered by plainly biased policing of that BLM/Far Left axis and the eagerness of senior police officers, politicians and companies to kow tow to the mob or exploit the mob for their own agendas or advantage, is bringing about a bad situation. Add into that mix a political culture that allows no free speech safety valve and instead oppresses some but not all British subjects with ‘hate speech’ laws and you have a socially explosive situation. Personally I do not want to see this social blue touchpaper lit, this is because the result of lighting it would be godawful for both White and Black Britons alike. Britain’s future should not be left in the hands of those, of all races it needs to be said, who just want to sit and watch the world burn whether they be BLM activists, members of the Socialist Workers Party, the appeasers and exploiters of these groups or the neo-Nazi fraggles who believe that what the ‘white race’ needs is a race war. We urgently need common sense to prevail and part of the common sense that will turn down the heat that is building up at the moment is equitable policing. If the majority see that minorities are being policed to the same standard as the majority then things will I believe calm down. If on the other hand, we continue to see police forces policing by appeasement of a sort we saw both in London and Bristol, then divisions and distrust both of the police and between different racial groups will only get worse. The attempt by the Marxists underpin the BLM movement to destabilise Britain could not have come at a worse time. The UK is going to take a huge hit both economically and socially because of the Covid19 lockdown and the very last thing that the nation needs is the sort of divisions and violence that the Left is bringing to this nation. Britain could have a great future as a free nation, but in order to have that great future, we all need to pull together and build, but building is not what the Marxists want, they only want to destroy and it will be ordinary people irrespective of skin colour, who will be the losers from that destruction. Pray for the nation as it desperately needs all of our prayers.
Did this really happen? Why didn’t she photograph the mob or phone the police?
You make a good point there. It could all be a complete fraud but the Mirror reported it so I’ve quoted it. It might well be that she has exaggerated the incident and it was not a ‘mob’ but a couple of neighbours saying ‘all lives matter’
