Darkness Descending in England

The arrest of over 53 people in the United Kingdom is the beginning of the end for once-great Britain. The leaders of the English Defence League (EDL), Tommy Robinson and Kevin Carroll, were among those arrested, as well as Paul Weston of the British Freedom Party (BFP). I spoke with Kevin Carroll about his recent arrest and that of Robinson and Weston, and he told me the appalling details.

Carroll told me that British authorities tried everything in the book to stop him from running for police and crime commissioner (PCC) for the Bedfordshire Police Authority. Nonetheless, he officially won the right to run for PCC last Friday. But then, the very next day, British authorities carried out these mass arrests of EDL and BFP members, stripping them and forcing them to wear white paper overalls like those given to incarcerated terrorists. They were allowed no phone calls.

Meanwhile, British police raided the homes of Carroll, Robinson, and three others who had been arrested. "They absolutely ransacked mine," Carroll told me. "They smashed the door off and wrecked my home. They took my only vehicle, with all the tools of my trade inside, and impounded it, as well as Tommy's car." The police, the bomb squad, forensics teams, and sniffer dogs spent seven and a half hours stripping Carroll's van to the bone. "When they finished," he said, "they found nothing! They loaded it up with bugs and GPS monitors and threw everything in the back; it looks like it's been in a blender."

Did the UK do anything like, for example, arrest someone for making a YouTube video?

Then they would know they’re in the dark times.

WHY are leftwing governments in the west so determined to plant radical Islam in their countries?

[Flintlock]

Anybody out there still dumb enough to think that IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE???

Lock and load, boys and girls. It’s gonna get interesting.

Over there—the police, cops on the beat, are ACTUALLY THE ENEMY. Here—not yet.

Let’s keep it that way.

The Culture of Death knows its master.

The Culture of Death has a death-wish.

Both - islam and the left - are of the Devil.

“WHY are leftwing governments in the west so determined to plant radical Islam in their countries?”

I’ve referred to the “alliance of the Marxists, and the Muslims” in the past for the reason their perspectives are similar. World Caliphate/New World Order, etc.

IMO Birds of a feather in many respects.

Horrible news!

In case its not clear: That's a terror tactic. Finding information isn't really the point. They probably didn't expect to find much of anything. The point was: "We can ruin your life if you don't toe the line."

Western Civ has indeed gone dark.

Because evil deludes the "enlightened atheist" socialist. They have no moral immune system. That's my theory anyway.

News like this always makes me think how prescient C.S. Lewis was in the last volume of his children's series: the Narnian Antichrist (the Antiaslan if you prefer) is a fraud put up by an alliance of convenience between Narnian secularists and Calormenes (thinly disguised Muslims). I wonder if British school children are still allowed to read The Last Battle.

Because fundamentally, leftism is hatred of the Gospel.

Absolutely. In fact if you do enough research you will find links between the Nazis and the Soviets and the resurgence of violent Jihadis in the ME, the Nazis and the Soviets and both the EU and Globalism. All are Global government collectivists who brook no criticism and suppress all individualism.

I would think that the statement of Sir Edward Grey at the start of WWI was more apropos:

“The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our time.”

[Huskrrrr]

Yes, I agree.

[rurgan]

Islam and socialism (democrats) both are against freedom and liberty.

[the scotsman]

IHMO, you dont know what your are talking about.

4% of the UK is Muslim. So why do Americans seemed utterly convinced the UK is done, lost, a dhimmi state?.

We have no Muslims in power, we have an upper class Anglo-Saxon/Celtic PM with Jewish roots, a Dutch Jewish descended deputy PM, and the leader of the Labour party is of German Jewish parents, the father having fought the Nazis.
