It’s Impossible To Keep Up With The Fall Of Britain
John Daniel Davidson


Hardly a day passes without some news item out of Britain that underscores the depth of the crisis in that country.

Over the weekend, it was news that 1,500 migrants had crossed the English Channel illegally from France — in less than 72 hours. During a stretch of good weather, hundreds of people disembarked at migrant processing facilities in Dover on a daily basis, bringing the total number of Channel migrants this year to 38,450, well above the 36,816 who crossed during all of 2024.

The surge of illegal migrants came just as Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government had been suggesting that the low number of crossings in recent weeks was thanks to government policy. Turns out it was just because of bad weather. “We see it repeated time and time again. When the winds blow and the waves pick up, we get few if any crossings. When conditions calm down, they surge across in large numbers,” said one maritime source.

The Starmer government had previously claimed that its “one in one out” agreement with France had been working. The scheme, which took effect in August, means illegal migrants who arrive on small boats can be detained and sent back to France in exchange for an equivalent number of migrants who apply for asylum legally. It’s the sort of plan you come up with when you want to be seen as doing something without actually doing anything.

The cumulative effect of all this is a growing feeling among the majority indigenous English population that the government is destroying the country through mass immigration, legal and illegal, and a policy of pandering to the unassimilated Muslim minority. The Starmer government is locked into a Soviet ideological framework, unable politically to alienate its Muslim base and unable to enact reforms that might save the country. Britain’s political leaders are operating under conditions of fear and duress, unable to manage or even name the crisis now engulfing them, and losing control of the country day by day in real time. What this portends is widespread civil conflict.

In the meantime, we are watching a once-great nation — our mother nation, in fact — collapse into ruin. It is harrowing and sad to witness. It should also, for us Americans, be a cautionary tale.

A 100-year-old British veteran of World War II appeared on a morning news program Friday, proudly wearing his war medals. The man, Alec Penstone, was 15 years old when World War II broke out in 1939. He volunteered as a messenger during the Blitz of London, pulled dead bodies out of bombed buildings, and joined the Navy as soon as he was old enough. He promised his father, a World War I veteran who witnessed the horrors of trench warfare, he wouldn’t join the Army. Penstone served aboard submarines and then an escort aircraft carrier that played a vital role in the D-Day landings, sweeping for mines and search for German U-Boats. He’s one of Britain’s last heroes of that war.

Asked by the flippant, grinning hosts of the morning show what his message was to the British public ahead of Remembrance Day on November 11, Penstone said this: “My message is, I can see in my mind’s eye those rows and rows of white stones of our friends and everybody else that gave their lives — for what? Our country today, no I’m sorry, the sacrifice wasn’t worth the result that it is now. What we fought for was our freedom, we find now it’s a darn sight worse than what it was when I fought for it.”

Why would anyone want to go to the UK today.  Last time I was there was in 84. Good times.

How about we start focusing and making sure that the U.S. doesn't follow.  We're not far behind folks.  NYC should be a wake up call and all the CAIR candidates running is a huge concern.
