For a number of years now this blog has run an occasional feature entitled ‘I told you this would happen’. This feature is primarily about how Western government’s failure to deal effectively with Islamic extremism, Islamic terrorism and anti-social behaviour that has an Islamic cultural root is feeding a dangerous future monster, a monster called vigilantism.
The failure of governments to tackle Islamic religious extremism and the associated terrorism, a terrorism that as an aside, over 65% of British Muslims themselves are concerned about, along with a situation where governments show too great a tolerance for Islamic cultural problems such as bad and exploitative attitudes to women and children, is leading non-Muslim citizens of various countries to feel that they’ve been abandoned by the forces of law and order. What’s worse is that not only do they feel abandoned by such forces, forces that we have been told are there for our benefit, but they perceive, sometimes wrongly but sometimes correctly in the case of South Yorkshire Police and the Rotherham scandal, that forces of law and order that should impartially cover everyone, have been bent in such a way as to advantage criminally inclined Muslims over everyone else.
Having the citizens or subjects of a nation having such perceptions of being abandoned is not good. It is a situation that is almost guaranteed to drive some to take the law into their own hands and go after those who are perceived as belonging to the ‘enemy’ group, whether or not the group member was innocent of crime or not. ‘King Mob’ as I’ve said on a number of occasions on here makes for a very unjust leader and its a monarch that I’ve seen in operation up close and personal in a number of situations ranging from the Poll Tax protests, via the Wapping Dispute and further back to the antics of the anarchic ‘bombs not jobs’ Special Brew Crew who attached themselves to Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament demonstrations in the 1980’s.
I’ve also seen how both in the above-mentioned situations and other similar ones where there is tension how it can only take the smallest of sparks to set things off and turn things violent. It can be the sight of police horses in a side street that sparks panic or observing a ‘scab’ journalist entering a newspaper plant that’s being picketed or the arrest at a demonstration of some aggressive piss-head that draws his mates into an argument that then escalates into violent conflict. The spark for conflict can be something unique and out of the blue or it can be a series of incidents that people have previously kept calm about until the time comes when the calmness disappears and conflict begins.
What has set off the recent violent disturbances in Liverpool at a hotel which has had loads of mostly male, Muslim illegal migrants of military age dumped in it was, according to the reporter Andy Ngo, an incident where a North African/Middle Eastern male, presumably Muslim, allegedly hit on a fifteen year old girl in the street near to the hotel that is housing these illegal invaders and propositioned her for sex. From what I can gather from looking at various reports both in the MSM and outside of it is that people in Knowsley on Merseyside were angry at the fact that potentially dangerous un-vetted military age foreign males had been dumped on their area and grumbled about it. There was no real pushback against the invaders in Liverpool until an incident occurred which was the straw that broke the camel’s back which was the video of the fifteen year old girl fending off the invader who quite obviously wanted to have sex with this girl.
If the incident with the invader and the teenage girl was a one off, something that was completely unknown of beforehand and an incident that is the first of its kind then I doubt that the local people would have protested the housing of invaders in the Suites Hotel as vigorously as they did. The main issue is that this is not a one off, there’s been dozens of these allegations from up and down the country many of which have been brought to light by paedo hunting groups who have exposed these invaders as having an undue and untoward interest towards very young teenage girls. I’m really not surprised that such a situation has arisen. I fail to see how such a situation could not have been foreseen as bringing in thousands of young men, often from cultures where women and children are treated as the property of men, was bound to cause friction and problems. This problem is made far worse than it could have been as the Channel Invaders are basically not vetted in any way shape or form which means that this cohort of men are highly likely to contain a large proportion of wrong’uns.
Reading around the comments on various social media feeds it appears that although the incident with the fifteen year old girl was the spark that set off these recent disturbances, this was just the culmination of months of alleged sexual harassment of women by the invader men housed at hotels across the country. It could well be that the most recent incident was the final straw for local people, especially as it is likely that the police might not have done enough to protect local people and in particular local children from the depredations of these invaders.
From what I can gather from reading the accounts of those reporters who I can trust, people such as Andy Ngo for example who has a long record of accurately reporting protests, this revolt against the invaders was, at least at first, led by local people. Later on it seems that extremists from both Patriotic Alternative, a bunch of genuine dyed in the wool Hitler fellators, as well as from the local Communist Party have decided to exploit the situation.
The timeline of the Liverpool disturbances as I can ascertain it is this: There was already a tense situation in the area surrounding the housing of these invaders in, as is all too often the case, in struggling working class areas with people worried, for good cause, about the safety and security of their children because of this. Patriotic Alternative leafleted the area because they knew that there was already a potentially receptive audience among those who are angry at what the Government has done to them by dumping these potentially dangerous invaders on their area. I would in addition suggest that PA chose this area not only because of the anger at the invaders which they could exploit, but also because if people are less than ideally engaged in politics to the extent that all they do is unthinkingly vote Labour at elections, then such people are less likely to be aware of PA’s history and ideology or that they are the real deal when it comes to being jackboot lickers.
Now for the record I’m not exactly a fan of PA, in fact I dislike what they are and what they stand for but I very much doubt that these disturbances in Liverpool were created out of nothing by PA. The anger at the presence of the invaders was already there, groups like PA were merely exploiting the feelings of anger and abandonment by the State that already existed. Also there were other extremists who were exploiting the situation, namely the local Communist party and socialist groups who called for a presence at the hotel to counter the local people who had decided that the time had come to show how pissed off they were about the invaders and to demonstrate. There is some gossip out there that states that the Communists turned up at eight o’clock shortly before the violence started at around eight fifteen. It’s not beyond the bounds of possibility that the Communists thinking erroneously that they were re-fighting the Battle of Cable Street played a major part in the attacks on police and the violence in general.
The idea espoused by some in the MSM that Liverpool, a place where you could get a dog turd elected if it was wearing a red rosette, is a hot bed of neo-Nazi activity is ludicrous. I very much doubt that this protest was instigated by PA and its much more likely that they saw what was going on in Liverpool with regards local people’s unhappiness at having to house potentially dangerous invaders and decided to exploit it. It’s easy for any group, no matter what their political views or heritage to exploit an issue where there is already existing public concern, something we’ve already seen PA do with regards the disgraceful phenomenon of ‘Drag Queen Story Time’. If it was not for the fact that there are genuine well founded concerns about the antics of the imported channel invaders and that there is well established public anger about the drag queen story time and gender identity bollocks being pushed on kids by the Establishment, then I’d say that PA would be as relevant to the political environment as the Stalin Society are, which is to say of very little relevance. Although PA exploit genuine concerns about the invaders from across the Channel and the disgusting Drag Queen Story Time phenomenon, they don’t have the numbers of active bodies in the party, nor the competences needed to mount a major campaign from scratch. Even leftist outfits like Dazed, who would have a vested political interest in talking up ‘the fascist threat’ are conceding that the membership of PA is in the low hundreds. PA don’t have a large enough number of people in their group to mount the sort of effective ground game that could create the Liverpool anti-invader protest from the ground up. To do this would require lots of individuals working 24/7 and with in depth knowledge of the area, pushing PA’s viewpoint, individuals and resources that PA quite obviously does not have. To put this in context, the Lib Dems can probably get more people out to canvas at by-elections than the PA have active members.
It’s my view, based on the various reports of these disturbances, that the protests were organic, ground up rather than top down ones and protests primarily undertaken by local people who are worried about the safety of their children because of the presence of potentially dangerous invaders being housed in the local hotel. These protests and the fears that lay behind them were exploited by PA which in turn elicited a response,with violence, from the Left who wanted to cosplay at what they saw as a Battle of Cable Street situation.
The initial protest occurred in large part because whole swathes of Britain’s working class areas feel abandoned by government, both local and national, when it comes to their justifiable grievances about what the see as ‘rape-ugees’ being housed in their areas and endangering their children. If the normal democratic and administrative structures that exist had listened to the concerns of Britons about the influx of invading illegals and their housing in already vulnerable areas, then I doubt that there would have been any protests whatsoever, let alone protests that would be exploited by political extremes for their own ends.
Whilst I will, as is usual, condemn violence from no matter what source it comes from, I also cannot ignore the fact that vigorous protest against groups that some feel are putting their children at risk are almost inevitable, especially when the Establishment seems to be quite relaxed about treating those in poor and vulnerable areas like dirt by making their areas worse by dumping un-vetted and potentially dangerous individuals in them. By failing to listen to the genuine concerns of people about the negative impact of the Government’s lack of border control then the government has created something that really is one of those ‘I told you this would happen’ situations.
The response of the political and mainstream media elites to the Knowsley disturbances and protests have in my view been particularly disgusting and disgraceful. Their knee-jerk reaction by them to the protests has been to condemn everyone who was involved in the protests as ‘far right’. There has been no acknowledgement by these elites that the local people, in an area that is solidly Labour territory, might have a point about the behaviour of the migrants who’ve been dumped on their area.
I suspect that the protests might well have been averted had the local and national governments listed to people’s concerns and not housed potentially dangerous illegal migrants on an area that is already suffering both economically and socially. I do wonder if what might have happened is that local people took their concerns to their elected representatives on the council and in Westminster only to be rebuffed and smeared as ‘racists’ for doing so. If that is what has happened then it will have fed into an already established idea among working class Britons that the political and media Establishment cares nothing for them and cares a lot more for the migrants whether they be legal or illegal. Mario Laghos writing in The Critic magazine summed up both the problem of under-policing of migrant sex crime and the elite’s dismissal of protesters as being ‘far right’ when he said:
The wild claims (of Liverpudlians being ‘far right’ Ed) steer the national debate away from the issue at hand — the impact of illegal migration on British communities, and the potential victimisation of vulnerable women and girls — and into the far more comfortable territory of condemning the bogeyman of the “far-right”.
We don’t yet know the veracity of the Knowsley video, any more than we yet know the extent of the far right’s involvement. But what we do know, from extensive government inquiries and in-depth reporting, is that police, government and social services have historically ignored the abuse of white working class girls by Pakistani gangs out of a fear of appearing racist. We also know that four Afghan refugees have been arrested for the rape of another 15 year old girl in Kent, and that in just one hotel housing migrants in East London, there were two cases of sexual assault of underage boys within weeks of each other.
In a context where the British public has every reason to believe that authorities may ignore and under-police sexual abuse perpetrated by migrants; where illegal immigrants are disproportionately young men, generally without employment, and whose criminal records in their home countries are unknown; and when there are numerous reports of incidents involving the hotels housing refugees, how can we dismiss the concerns of Knowsley residents as irrational and bigoted?
There’s some very good points to be found in Mr Laghos’s piece which is well worth reading in its entirety as it busts a lot of the myths that have grown up around the Liverpool situation. It is also a piece that highlights the way that the political and media elites treat working class people with contempt genuine and well founded concerns about the impact of illegal migration on their areas.
The government has ridden roughshod over the worries and concerns of the people of Knowsley which is a large reason why people took to the streets. However street protest, no matter how well supported or how justified or cathartic such protests may be is not going to shift the spheres of politics and administration from their mindset of ‘migrants good, everyone else bad’. Only people turning out at the polling stations at election time and replacing the arrogant bastards who currently occupy the political world with politicians, preferably ones from outside the current Westminster ones that better represent us as a people, no matter what our skin colour or religion, will do that.
