“I believe that we are today crossing the Rubicon. There can be no turning back”
– State President P.W Botha, Durban, August 1985.
The events in the United Kingdom we have witnessed in the past week are historic.
For 18 or so months, persistent protests have been occurring in Ireland as our brave Celtic brothers and sisters took to the streets to protest the housing of military aged foreigners claiming ‘refugee status’. This has not gone unnoticed by the British.
What was needed was a trigger. Something to take these protests eastward from Eire, across the Irish Sea, to Britain. That trigger came on a warm summer day at Southport, England where three girls under 10 were stabbed to death at a dance studio. The stabber is a 17-year-old Rwandan, who happened to be born in Wales and was identified by lefties to be just as Welsh as the Jonses.
The United Kingdom has seen horrible acts of violence and crime perpetrated by non-white foreigners, including the London transport Islamic terror attacks in July 2005 and the May 2017 Manchester Arena Islamic terror bombing which killed and injured many children.
It is no surprise the pent-up frustration that many British natives have at the failure of Westminster to provide safety, along with the failure of Westminster and the intentional negligence of Whitehall to stop and reverse the flow of mass migration, legal and illegal, into the British Isles.
“I believe that we are today crossing the Rubicon”
The Rubicon that I believe Britain has crossed in early August 2024 is the nativist distinction made in the streets of who is British and who is not.
British identity has been in question since the 1948 Windrush invasion and with each migration wave, increasing significantly from 1997 and exploding from 2022, the question of ‘who is British’ has remained a source of simmering debate.
On the streets, during the recent protests occurring in Britain, it is clear from the footage that skin colour defines whether one is perceived as British or not. The British nationalists involved in the protest are all white, and their opponents are predominately the brown Muslims, some Africans and white Antifa communists.
BBC reporter, Phillip Norton, a native Brit, was criticised by many lefties by simply stating in a refreshingly nativist manner:
‘…camp of protests, the pro-British march on one side of the town hall here, and the counter protest on the other side of the town hall.’
Norton’s nativist description of the protest comprising of a ‘pro – British side’ and ‘counter’ protestors was received with shock from the lefties and establishment personalities because in one short sentence, Norton likely in a state of primal awareness of his British identity amid a race riot, rejected the efforts of billions of pounds and decades of propaganda to drill into Brits that their British identity is not based on their Anglo – Celtic – Saxon identity, but rather it is based on paper citizenship that is possible for anyone in the world to acquire.
In the mid 2000s, for the topic of ‘belonging’ my high school English teacher played the film, Bend it Like Beckham. I had never watched a British movie or TV show which had so many non – British, notably Indian, actors in it. Bend it Like Beckham was nothing compared to the 1980s and 1990s British TV shows I watched as a kid with my grandmother, including my then favourite, The Bill, where all the actors were British.
As a teenager when I was much less cynical, I could tell Bend it Like Beckham had nothing to do with soccer, but rather pushing the idea that multiculturalism is contemporary and synonymous with ‘modern’ Britain.
The current nationalist protests in British streets will likely be suppressed by force and fear. On Monday, 5 August 2024, Starmer stated, “Whatever the apparent motivation, this is not protest, it is pure violence and we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or our Muslim communities” and “The full force of law will be visited on all those who are identified as having taken part.”
Without a doubt, Starmer, for the British and Anglosphere, is the wrong man at the wrong time, and in my view a perfect example of ‘weak men create hard times’. But Starmer must not be underestimated. Starmer is well versed with the possibility of power through the criminal legal system from his former role as Director of Public Prosecutions. I have no doubt that despite calls for resignation, he will be determined to stay put just a month after achieving a massive electoral majority and he will use this to quash the British nationalists who have taken to the streets.
Starmer’s physical characteristics cannot be overlooked. White, with blue eyes and a full head of hair at 61, Starmer’s government can easily get away with prosecuting hundreds of white British nationalists who have taken to the streets or posted nationalist content and comments on social media. After all, he is white, and he will justify his actions on the civic duty to maintain democracy and ensure that the blacks and browns living in Britain do not live in fear from ‘racist whites’ who many lefties believe have been radicalised due to Tory austerity measures.
At the time of writing, around 400 people have been arrested so far. The overwhelming majority of those arrested are British, mostly from the lower classes, who largely would reside in recently won Labour electorates.
Sam Melia was imprisoned for two years for ‘inciting racial hatred’ from stickers, that included the slogan, ‘It’s okay to be white.’ I have no doubt that Starmer will do all he can, with his massive electoral majority, to ensure that the lower-class whites who have taken to the streets opposing the deracination of Britain will be prosecuted harshly and made an example of, to warn the middle – class whites that your life will be ruined if you oppose state sanctioned diversity.
“There can be no turning back”
The protests across Britain are bloody in the streets and blunt on social media.
Britain will be more ethnically balkanised than ever from these protests, though British natives may become more united as a collective group.
In the Anglosphere, we have had the pleasure of living in a society that for the most part has had a very effective legal system which has been open to reforms to ensure the paramountcy of the administration of justice. We have also lived in a society where for generations people largely had the ability of freedom of speech without fear from a police state.
Unfortunately, this has encouraged complacency amid the unprecedented demographic change of our societies in the past 50 – 80 years. Until quite recently, when meeting a stranger, classmate or colleague for the first time, we would seek to find commonality, whether this be interests, hobbies, obligations and pursuits.
But this is changing. It is increasingly important to find out in your workplace, sporting clubs, friends and even family their political beliefs, cultural values and whether they care for political correctness because in the West, the ability to speak freely is declining.
Since social media took off in the late 2000s and we live our lives so connected within the internet, we have become terrified of saying what we truly feel, largely for fear of losing our jobs. We have all seen stories of average everyday people, just like ourselves, lose their jobs and their name published in the news and stuck online forever for making a ‘racist remark’, potentially denuding future employment prospects. Doxing is the greatest fear to the 2020s anonymous dissident.
Lucy Connolly, a child minder was doxed recently by lefties, commies and Islamists on X for posting on X: ‘Mass deportations now, set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards for all I care, while you’re at it take the treacherous government & politicians with them. I feel physically sick knowing what these families will now have to endure. If that makes me racist, so be it.’
Connolly is married to Raymond Connolly, a Tory Councillor in Northamptonshire. Upon Lucy Connolly being doxed, her advertisement on childcare.co.uk as being a childminder, was removed. Connolly is reported by BBC to have ‘since apologised’, though this will never be accepted by those demanding it.
I cannot see any return to normalcy following these protests, nor do I think the neoliberal nightmare will end quickly. My guess is that British society will continue to devolve into parallel societies, the whites will be split on the issue of immigration and multiculturalism, other non – British groups will continue to play victim – perpetrator, crime will continue to increase and non-European migration will unfortunately for the time being continue.
The reinforcement of the traditional understanding of what it is to be British is as consistent today as it was in 1940 may begin a reinstitution towards societal collective identity, at least among British nationalists.
My hope is that a reinstitution of a collective identity, which will take time, also sees the start of a parallel economy. Such economy may require no sophistication because to start it will be attending to essential services, but it requires networking and participation will be invitation only.
One example of a parallel economy could be childcare, which is an extremely important service for families.
Childcare today is very regulated in terms of the curriculum. It is not simply providing toys and a safe environment for the children to play in while the parents are at work, but rather is becoming an environment where the ideologies of the ‘liberal democratic’ regime is pushed on impressionable toddlers and young children.
An acquaintance told me her daughter came home from pre-school saying, ‘when I grow up, I might marry a boy or a girl’, and I once observed at a pre-school myself pictures of the children celebrating the Indian festival Holi with the caption, to the effect, ‘the children showed respect for Indian culture’.
I think it is very concerning that children at pre-schools are being taught of alternative sexual preferences and being monitored on whether they show ‘respect’ for coloured powder.
Childcare in a parallel society and economy could mean that through networks, arrangements are made for children to be cared for by an individual or individuals who are well known by all engaged parents. The children will share same ethnic and cultural background and there is no concern that the carers will discuss with children alternative sexual preferences, forced to partake and be assessed in a religious ceremony with no relevance to them or is told they are an oppressor who needs to apologise.
It is not common in history that political and social change happens quickly. While the Soviet flag was peacefully lowered over the Kremlin on Boxing Day 1991 and replaced with the flag of Peter the Great, Russia still today is in a state of dictatorship and war.
Australia last experienced racial riots in December 2005 following a physical altercation between Middle Eastern youth and Aussie lifeguards on the Cronulla Beach. This was also in context of the Sydney gang rapes involving the Skaf brothers a few years prior and frequent clashes between Aussie and Middle Eastern beachgoers in Cronulla. The Cronulla riots were short in duration and contained to the Sutherland Shire and South Western Sydney area.
The Cronulla riots put into the spotlight the debate on ‘who is an Aussie?’.
The scenes of Cronulla are similar to the riots in Britain, Australian men of European heritage, matching the Aussie stereotype, involved in a fight on our streets with men of ‘Middle Eastern appearance’. It was not possible to ignore from the footage or photographs that during the Cronulla riots, there were two distinct groups at the riot, Aussie and non – Aussies.
Cronulla no longer means just a Sydney suburb. To many Aussies, whether they admit it, ‘Cronulla’ is reminiscent of the Eureka Stockade, a moment of unanticipated strife, where for a short time, there was a sudden regrouping of a collective Aussie identity, contrary to the wishes of the elite and ruling class. The nativist instincts on display during the Cronulla race riots were an antithesis of the commercialised and atomising society of 2000s Australia.
Australia has changed dramatically since 2005. The Federal Government did not respond to the Cronulla race riots by revising immigration policy and ceasing refugee intake, that would be an admission of wrongdoing. Instead, between 2008 to 2020, Australia saw a substantial increase in immigration, notably from India and China and from May 2022, like much of the West, Australia’s immigration intake has exploded.
We have a rental shortage, extremely expensive homes, persisting inflation, high interest rates, massive mortgage debts and the Albanese government is continuing with the policy of high artificial population growth through immigration.
Since 7 October 2024, our capital cities frequently see Palestinian protests with their flags, protests from pro-Israelis with their flags, along with other foreigners protesting with their flags over non – Australian issues.
There is bound to be more ‘pride’ flags flying from buildings in the CBDs of Melbourne and Sydney, than the Australian flag.
I have never seen our country in such a malaise.
The Rubicon has been crossed. It has been proven that it is impossible to redefine what it means to be British in three or so generations. In these times of strife and protest on the streets, the definition of what it means to be British has been sustained as the nativist definition it has always had.
There can be no turning back. It is clear to all that immigration has balkanised Britain. The current protests on British streets in response to decades of reckless immigration policy has upheld the nativist definition of what it means to be British. This may be the beginning of a nationwide regrouping of collective British identity which manifests into social and commercial organisations to cater to the regrouped collective.
It remains to be seen whether the British protests will continue eastward across the English Channel to Western Europe and perhaps onto the English-speaking New World.
Individualism is only feasible in good times, but it has contributed the hard times we face. In times of uncertainty, conflict and strife, collectivism becomes an imperative for survival and rebirth once the storm has passed.
There is no better time than now to get involved and build connections.
