Britain is in serious trouble. There is in the United Kingdom the toxic combination of Islamic extremists who have been emboldened by the October 7th Pogrom in Israel and public services including police forces where senior management has allowed Islamic extremist infiltration to take place or who have decided to take the route of appeasement of Islam in order to cover their own arses or to give themselves a temporarily quieter life.

This is not a good situation for any nation to be in. I suspect that the combination of an emboldened cadre of violent Islamic extremists and weak management of policing and other public services is going to result in disaster.

This disaster is likely in my view to take the form of yet another Islamic terrorist outrage. The ingredients for this are all there. We have Islamists chanting for ‘jihad’ on the streets of London, we have at least 40k Islamic extremists whom the Security Service (MI5) are having to keep an eye on and in mosques in towns and cities up and down the land we have Islamic preachers calling for the murder of Jews in the name of Islam. We also have police forces such as the Met doing absolutely nothing about the calls in mosques for violent jihad possibly out of fear of giving offence to those who call for violent jihad.

I would be completely unsurprised if sometime in the period between now and Christmas there was an Islamic terror outrage somewhere in the UK. This attack is most likely to be a mass casualty attack on for example Christmas shoppers or on national transportation, energy or other infrastructure or on some symbol of national British identity. The ingredients for such a horror are all in place with calls for ‘Muslim armies to rise up being made openly on the streets of Birmingham coupled with police forces that are compromised by political correctness and Islamist entryism being major factors.

Britons are going to have to go back to the mindset that they had during the IRA terrorist outrages of the 70’s and 80’s and be suspicious of people, watching for unattended bags and in this case sweaty Muslims with equally sweaty backpacks. We are going to have to raise our situational awareness game when we are shopping or traveling or going out to pubs and clubs. However there is a difference between the terrorist outrages of the IRA and the threat of today’s Islamic extremists. That difference is that back then we Britons could be assured that the police were on our side. We could be assured that the police would look closely and carefully at Irish residents in Britain in order to guard against Irish Republican terror, now sadly it’s the case that the police might be extremely reluctant to act against questionable Muslims because now when we look at our police forces and how they’ve reacted to the rise in Islamic extremism and Islamic terror, we can see that the police are clearly not on our side.

Britons need to be our own protectors. That doesn’t mean forming mobs to do counterproductive things but it does mean not leaving stuff like highlighting the existence of Islamic extremists, watching for suspicious activity and monitoring extremism in our Islamic communities to the police. People should of course report such suspicious and worrying stuff to the police but I would like to repeat the advice that I gave nearly a decade ago and urge you to copy your concerns to the Security Service at Thames House as the Security Service might be more willing to act on Islamic terror concerns than our increasingly compromised police forces are.
