Britain has fallen. Practitioners of the religion of peace forced Freer out and killed Amess. They groomed British girls in Rochdale and bombed them in Manchester. Authorities did not intervene until it was too late because they were scared to be called racist. In an Orwellian twist, they are quick to knock on the doors of anyone accused of Islamophobia. Both the Labour and Conservative parties support continued mass migration. Will anyone try to save Britannia?

Machiavelli told us: “When someone tells you they intend to kill you, believe them.” The Iranians close every government meeting with chants of “Death to Israel” and Death to America.” We dither and mumble about First Amendment rights and “context.” The question is when is our government, whose primary reason for being is to keep us safe from enemies, foreign and domestic, going to do something meaningful? Here’s an idea: three-part question: leading/involved in anti-Semitic marches or teachings? Threatening harm to anyone else for their beliefs? Here on a visa? Congratulations and welcome to the departure lounge.

Machiavelli was right. What we're seeing now is merely the manifestation of the infamous Fatwa issued by Iran against Salmon Rushdie in 1989. The seeds were sown then. A nation vowing to assassinate a national from another country merely for enjoying the right to write freely should not have been answered by merely severing diplomatic relations, which Britain did at the time. It should have been met with the threat that if anything were to happen to Rushdie, even if he were protected, Iran's leadership would meet the same fate. The eye for an eye threat was never made, and that was the mistake. (though I do think it was contemplated). The fact that nothing happened to Iran only bolstered what has happened since - the attack on Rushdie in the US recently, the Charlie Hebdo killings in France and countless other atrocities all over the world perpetrated by Muslim extremists. Of which we can add Oct. 7.

I wouldn’t go as far to suggest the once most powerful nation on the planet has fallen, but I would say that England has a very serious problem which requires fixing. We’ve all been too nice, and accommodating, for too long. A reckoning is due.

Islam is not compatible with the culture that made England great. The English must stop hosting immigrants who will not honor their culture and must deport all Middle Easterners who are not English citizens. No more "nice and accommodating".

Norway makes immigrants learn Norwegian and learn Norwegian history and to me that's not an outrageous request. I think it's a great way to get immigrants to assimilate and a policy all countries should adapt.

All the countries with large Muslim populations are going to have problems, there is trouble wherever they go. No one wants to talk about the elephant in the room.

Yep. I fully embrace immigrants who want to become citizens of not just our nation, but our culture. Those who actively hate us should not come here, and if they do anyway, should be deported swiftly and surely. However, we should deport them nicely, with smiles, for are we not cultured and friendly folks?

Here in Alberta for the most recent year stats are available, 2022, there were 3 times as many antisemitism vs islamophobic “hate” incidents.

But since Muslims outnumber Jews 17-1 that means antisemitism is 51 times more common here per capita.

I expect that has doubled since October 7.

But of course, calgary city council is preoccupied with fighting the hate crime of protesting against male sexual fetish reading time, better known as drag queen story hour.

I struggle to understand why people want men who exhibit a sexual fetish as defined by the NIH to parade in front of 6 year olds.

Actually it was 4 x, ~320 vs ~80 incidents making antisemitism 68 times more prevalent than Islamophobia

20 years ago, the number of Jews and Muslims in Canada were comparable. Today, there are 4x as many Muslims, and with a vast pool of Muslims overseas as potential immigrants, it will only get worse.

I imagine Jews in Canada probably feel as betrayed by the Liberals as American Jews should be by the Democrats. I would have hoped that the good years under Stephen Harper would have made more Jews become Conservatives. I also hope that Polliviere wins the next election - big.

Anyone who’s on Twitter should follow the Metropolitan Police’s account every Saturday when they allow the pro-Hamas et al hate marches in London. First, Londoners beg them not to allow these intimidating, disruptive marches and the Met assures them they won’t. Then, in response to complaints and photos of marchers attacking counter protestors and/or flying the flags of proscribed terror groups and banners with eliminationist slogans about Israel and Jews, they assure their followers that their “flag experts” have determined they are just expressions of Islamic pride or some nonsense. Then days later, using photos that the public have submitted, they ask for the public’s help in finding the culprits. If it weren’t so serious, it could be a Monty Python skit. They are clearly terrified and utterly feckless.

So much to say...

First of all, the British police - especially in London - are a bunch of impotent losers. They don't carry guns so they are exceedingly unmenacing, and they pride themselves on arresting British citizens who posted "something offensive" on social media.

Second of all, if all public servants take after Freer, the Islamists and Israel-haters win. The fact that the British police cannot protect him from these savages is shameful. I don't know if Freer is a coward, but this is a cowardly move and will certainly encourage the extremists. I'm also not sure his leaving politics will save him.

I wish the British people would wake the fuck up and take back their country but frankly, I'm not sure that it's not too late.

Freer brought these troubles down upon himself and his country. You don't get to play the victim card when you're THE LEADERSHIP! When THE LEADERSHIP cries victim and abandons his people to the consequences of BAD LEADERSHIP, yes, this is cowardly, the very ultimate of cowardliness.

I’ve maintained for years that as long as people have access to fire and instructions to make bombs, gun control is not going to stop large-scale attacks in public places.

An irrefutable litmus test to which side of an issue is grounded in truth and/or decency is whether its supporters can express its values without slander or threats.

Worth noting the "conservative" government of the UK (the Tories) of which Freer is a member - has ruled Britain for 13 years, and has overseen the greatest mass immigration since the Anglo-Saxons. They're replacing about 1.1% of the population each year, dozens of times greater than Labor (the left-wing, nominally pro-immigration) ever did. Net migration last year was ~800,000 people. Freer and his government have repeatedly campaigned on reducing immigration, but have increased it every single year, completely lying to their voters.

This may sound cold, but it's very hard to feel sorry for him.

Isn't it ironic that one of the stated aims of Brexit, strongly supported by most Conservatives, was to stem the influx of immigrants from Europe. I bet the party establishment would love some of those immigrants from the Continent right about now.

“Replacing” is a weird way to describe “adding” people. It’s not like every time an immigrant enters the country a citizen is ejected.

Unfortunately, we are facing a:similar situation in the:United States. The Celler-Kennedy Immigration Act of 1965 enabled the Immigration to this country of hundreds of thousands of Muslins whose religion is opposed to the basic values of Anerican society. Four generations of immigrants and their progeny have no intention to assimilate as did previous generations of immigrants. They reside in self-created ghettos like Dearborn, MI and dream of converting, forcibly oppressing, or exterminating the infidel. Their basic beliefs are no different from the Hamas terrorists who committed vile atrocities in Israel on 10/7. It is time to consider severe action against these savages.

That poor man; whether you like his politics or not, no one deserves to be harassed for trying to do their job, and his staff certainly didn't sign up for this. Making predictions about the future is always tricky, but as other people in the comments will probably attest, there is likely to be further increase in violence toward parliament members, their staff and families, and the Jewish community, especially anyone else that supports them. Perhaps it's time to rethink the laws surrounding self-defense, since the banning of knives in London did so much good to stop attacks.

Here's my 'Practical Therapy': Don't let uncivilized people into your country. Mike Freer allowed people from a culture which throws homosexuals off the roofs of tall buildings, and Mike is a homosexual ... I'm pretty sure the results are going to unfold with great danger to Mike. Mike represented a Jewish community, and voted to allow a large number of immigrants from a culture which states 'death to Jews,' I'm pretty sure the results are going to unfold with danger to Mike's constituency.

Mike is a voting member of the leadership of a country, and voted to allow millions of people into his country, uncivilized people who: still practice slavery, believe unsupervised women and children are free for the sexual taking, openly murder homosexuals, advocate for the murder of Jews, believe non-Muslims can be legally oppressed and are unprotected by the law ... Mike is a member of the body which imported this culture into the UK, Mike is the problem and not the victim. Mike Freer is the problem and not the victim.

Huge numbers of people in Ireland were in the street yesterday protesting mass immigration to their country. The Irish are, no doubt, looking at the current mess in England and they see where mass immigration will lead their country if their government continues to allow huge numbers of migrants in. They remember all too well what it is like to be conquered and live without basic freedoms. We, in the rest of the western world, desperately need to vote out globalist politicians, from every party. Politicians who do not have the back bone to take action and stand up to those who use threats to intimidate Jews, writers, politicians, teachers, theatre staff, etc. should not be in power. No judgement however towards this particular politician as he has fought the good fight in the face of violent threats for years, and he is understandably exhausted. The response from the British government and law enforcement towards those who have threatened him should be swift and strong. However, as long as cowards and fools are in charge, it won’t be.

I had a story from a recent initial trip to Ireland we took in Sept/Oct this past year.

When looking for accommodations one afternoon, One of the small coastal towns had some hotels, but they are all booked up with Immigrants from the Ukrainian war. At last count, there have been 140,000 Ukraine citizens moved to Ireland, and being put up all over the country. And that is just Ireland!! Talk about an invasion, Ireland has 6mil residents, so the Ukraine's added 2.5% to the Ireland population in one year or so... this is eerily familiar to what Joe Biden has done in 3 years, 8.5million or more illegals into the US.

That is wild….I had no idea that immigration was that high in Ireland. I have been following what is happening with illegal immigration in the US and it is shocking. I live in Canada and we have had high legal immigration rates for a number of years and increasing rates of illegal immigration. Now people who are born in Canada cannot afford to rent or buy homes, especially in the larger cities. When I was watching the protests in Ireland, I noticed that protesters had banners that read “Houses for the Irish, not the world”. This is a valid stance. Nations need to take care of their own before they extend a hand to others. Somehow our politicians seem to forget who they represent once they form a government.

The Canadian government, like the Irish and British (and lagging behind them, the Americans), has grown more authoritarian, more concerned with defending a "Progressive" ideology from ordinary people who question and resist it, than attending to the actual welfare of their citizens. If the current people in power remain there, controlling the levers of law, economy, immigration, and education, we will certainly see the West fall, rotted from within. What we are seeing is like the political equivalent of an autoimmune disease.
