The United Kingdom currently faces an ongoing crisis that its leadership appears unable to control or even manage. This situation demands our attention.
News from Britain almost daily highlights the extent of the turmoil engulfing the nation.
Over the weekend, reports revealed that 1,500 migrants had illegally crossed the English Channel from France — within less than 72 hours. During a period of favorable weather, hundreds of migrants arrived daily at Dover’s processing centers, pushing this year’s total Channel crossings to 38,450, surpassing last year’s 36,816.
The Starmer government had earlier insisted that the “one in one out” plan with France was effective. Instituted in August, this arrangement allows authorities to detain and return migrants caught arriving illegally by small boats to France in exchange for legal asylum applicants being allowed into the UK. Essentially, it appears to be a measure designed more for appearances than real impact.
However, even under such flawed terms, the policy quickly exposed its flaws. In October, the “one in one out” scheme made headlines when an Iranian deported to France returned to the UK days later. When deported a second time, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood absurdly declared this proved “the system is working.”
This response reveals either staggering incompetence or deliberate bad faith. Faced with thousands illegally entering the UK weekly from France, one would expect the government to recognize that France is permitting mass illegal Channel crossings and to respond accordingly. Instead, British citizens receive ridiculous reassurances about the “one in one out” policy’s success even as boats continue to cross in large numbers.
The transformation is impossible to overlook. Last month in Birmingham — now home to a Muslim population making up about a third of the city — officials banned fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending the team’s Europa League match against Aston Villa. Officially, this was due to concerns over the safety of the Tel Aviv supporters. While true, the underlying reason, widely understood, is the antisemitism and violence within the city’s Muslim community. The fear was that Jewish fans might face attacks from Muslim mobs. Despite the ban, some Jewish supporters showed up to protest and were confined by police to a nearby basketball court encircled by steel fences that demonstrators dubbed a “Jew cage,” while Muslim fans chanted slogans like “death to the IDF,” “Allahu Akbar,” and “from the river to the sea.”
Besides the failure to integrate, migrant-related crime often targets white British women. Last month, Deng Chol Majek, a 19-year-old asylum-seeker from Sudan, was found guilty of murdering 27-year-old Rhiannon Skye Whyte, who worked at the migrant housing where Majek lived. Majek followed Whyte from the hotel to a bus station and stabbed her 23 times with a screwdriver, including 19 wounds to the head. Afterward, he went to purchase beer and was seen dancing with other asylum-seekers in the parking lot.
Recently, Wayne Broadhurst was walking his dog in west London when he was randomly attacked and killed by an Afghan refugee armed with a large knife. The accused, 22-year-old Safi Dawood, also faces charges for attempted murder of his landlord and a 14-year-old boy.
On Monday, a woman who suffered a random attack at a Birmingham bus stop on Friday died in hospital from her injuries. The suspect, 21-year-old Djeison Rafael, also faces charges including two counts of assault, possession of a bladed weapon, and assaulting a detention escort officer.
Collectively, these events fuel a growing belief among England’s indigenous majority that mass immigration—both legal and illegal—and a government catering to the unintegrated Muslim minority are destroying the country. The Starmer administration appears trapped in an ideological framework reminiscent of Soviet doctrines, unable politically to risk alienating its Muslim supporters and simultaneously incapable of implementing reforms that could rescue the nation. Britain’s political elite operate under fear and pressure, incapable of confronting or even articulating the crisis consuming their country. Day by day, they lose real control. This suggests an impending widespread civil unrest.
Meanwhile, we witness the decline of a once-great nation—our very own motherland—descending into chaos. It’s both heartbreaking and distressing to observe and should serve as a warning to Americans.
When asked by cheerful hosts what message he wished to share with the British public ahead of Remembrance Day on November 11, Penstone responded: “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.”
