Great Britain Collapses – Right Before We Do

Here is an article from the fine blog Kim du Toit.

“The wheels are starting to come off British society and government at an accelerating rate. The nation’s fabric, in other words and to add a metaphor, is unraveling. What’s happening is this:

>Rampant, uncontrollable crime. The desperation of the police is seen by the way they eagerly snatch at “simple” crimes—such as speeding motorists, people who sell merchandise in Imperial rather than metric units, or the poor guy mistakenly arrested for stealing a TV from Tesco—even as they are completely powerless to do anything about the violent hooliganism, robbery and brutal murder which have arisen from decades of criminal-coddling (and more recently, lax immigration controls). And all this despite increased police powers, reduced civil rights for citizens, and massive surveillance capability.

>Ordinary British citizens are as oppressed as they have been at any time in history. This may not be completely accurate in fact—but ask a Brit how he feels about constant police surveillance, about government oversight seemingly of his every action, about rampant, unfriendly regulation and indifferent, petty or hostile bureaucrats, about the feeling of being a stranger in his own country. Better still, ask someone in government to explain why so many Brits are emigrating and/or moving their capital out of the country.

>Sloppy, sycophantic media. The purpose of the media has always been to question authority. The problem is, when the vast majority of the Press are supporters of the ruling party’s philosophy, such questioning has been minor, and ineffectual. Precisely the same, by the way, is true of academia—and the detached viewing (and in some cases, active support) of the deterioration of the public interest by these two supposed “independent” pillars of a civilized society is going to go down as one of history’s most foul betrayals of the public trust.

>Loss of national identity. To an island nation once so proud of its identity, there has been a triple whammy:
1. The loss of social identity, as the multi-culti crowd have attempted to submerge British culture into some ghastly mixture of several, far lesser ones;
2. A parallel attempt to submerge native-born Britons into a demographic minority (or less of a majority) by a feckless, irresponsible immigration policy; and finally,
3. The loss of the social compact, which has simply been belittled, denigrated, sabotaged and destroyed by the simple (and erroneous) assumption that the compact’s maintenance belongs to the State, and not to the citizens thereof.

>Loss of national sovereignty. As more and more power has been devolved upward and outward, to a European parliament of unelected bureaucrats, Britain has become, quite clearly, a vassal state—and the recent plan to extinguish Britain and force its parts into some pan-European provinces is perhaps the final nail.

>The NuLabor Government has, quite clearly, run out of ideas and, almost as important, out of options. The answers to this crisis are not only nowhere to be found in NuLabor doctrine, but in antithetical public policy initiatives: lower personal taxes, less regulation, more individual freedom. Small wonder they are helpless, and flailing around like upended beetles. What remains for them? The final drive to extract as much as possible from an impossible situation.”

Does this sound like any nation you know of?

Police stopping citizens for “click it or ticket” instead of closing ‘known drug houses’ and rounding up illegal aliens.
Surveillance cameras everywhere to capture the crime done to you - but you are the criminal if you use force to stop the crime.

A lapdog liberal media who concentrates on the trivial while ignoring or outright suppressing real news – good and bad, while bombarding us with slanted polls and ‘reports’ from outfits that are little more than some kooks with a fax machine that happen to be liberal like the media.

A national identity that is being assaulted by the Democrats and not defended by the Republicans.

National sovereignty being wiped out with open borders and ‘diversity’ training – not to mention the rumors of an agreement for a ‘North American Union’ between Mexico, Canada and the United States.

And the Democrat (Labor, Socialist, Communist) Party about to be voted into a huge majority, with an agenda of higher taxes, more regulations and less freedom for individuals.
