The Upside-Down Morals of Today's Britain

In early 1999, when I first became aware of the Islamization of Europe, I didn't think that nineteen years later I'd be worried more about the future of the UK than about that of any other nation in Europe.

Consider this. Martin Sellner is a leader of a group called Generation Identity, which is opposed to the ongoing Islamization of Europe; Brittany Pettibone, his American girlfriend, is a well-known online commentator on this topic. Both are law-abiding believers in liberty. On March 9 they flew to Britain. He intended to give a speech about freedom of expression at the legendary Speakers' Corner in London; she intended to interview Tommy Robinson, another prominent critic of Islam. Instead of being allowed into the country, however, they were taken into custody, handcuffed, led through the airport in those handcuffs, separated from each other, and locked up in a detention center alongside hardened criminals. Many of their cellmates were Muslims, some of whom, had they known who Sellner and Pettibone were, could have done them great harm. On March 11, after two days in detention, the couple were flown out of the country.

They weren't alone. On March 12, Lauren Southern, an author and anti-Islam activist from Canada whose YouTube channel has nearly half a million followers, tried to enter the UK via Calais. Instead of being admitted, she was escorted into a room by Kent police, who, citing the Terrorism Act, informed her that she had no rights (including the right to remain silent), interrogated her about her political and religious beliefs, asked her what she thought about Islamic and right-wing terrorists, and demanded that she hand over her phone and tell them her access code so they could read her text messages. (She refused.)

British baby boys now have their balls cut off during circumcision, nothing else could account for their cowardliness to defend freedom.

Well, well...add these three to Michael Savage, Pam Geller, Robert Spencer and Parliament’s debate whether to ban Trump or not and I would say Americans are no longer welcome in Britishtan. OK.

Yes.

So why do we have airbases, submarines and troops in Britain to defend them?

They persecute our citizens and even talk about banning our President from their soil....which would not exist as “their” soil if not for us.

Time to consider them an enemy state and pull out.

I first became aware of the Islamization of Britain when I tried a bean burger near Trafalgar Square.

I demanded a Diet Coke - STAT, an order of Chicken nuggets and fries to wash that horrible taste out of my mouth.

I later purchased some awesome cheese at Harrod’s to get that gross Shiite off my taste buds.

If that is what death tastes like....

I’ve been on the Jihad Watch and Gatestone Institute email list for years.

The cradles of the Crusades, France and England, along with Germany are doomed.

In the US, we are at best a generation behind.

I fear that we will never agree to deny islam 1st Amendment protection. If we don’t, we are doomed as well.

May has to know about this, which tells us the state of the Conservative Party in the UK. What a fall from grace from Thatcher to now.

A vacuum is being created into which someone will step.

Will it be a Churchill...or a Hitler?

Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson wrote after WW2 that the Constitution is not an instrument of national suicide. That is exactly how the left is using it now.

“The Constitution is not a suicide pact” is a phrase in American political and legal discourse. The phrase expresses the belief that constitutional restrictions on governmental power must be balanced against the need for survival of the state and its people. It is most often attributed to Abraham Lincoln, as a response to charges that he was violating the United States Constitution by suspending habeas corpus during the American Civil War. Although the phrase echoes statements made by Lincoln, and although versions of the sentiment have been advanced at various times in American history, the precise phrase “suicide pact” was first used in this context by Justice Robert H. Jackson in his dissenting opinion in Terminiello v. Chicago, a 1949 free speech case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

You think? With all the limp wristed milquetoasts the Western world has to offer, I’d be surprised they could find a Churchill or Hitler in there.

Unfortunately, the Preamble to our Constitution is not, according to scotus, justiciable. IOW, the very purposes of our government are not enforceable.

A Primer to the Preamble of our Constitution.

Nutcases like Anders Breivik (due to be released in 2033) will step up... possibly a civil war will follow.

Europe will split like Yugoslavia did :(

Britain is lost, just lost. Churchill and Richard the Lionheart are rolling in their graves.

...Pettibone replied that if they remained silent “it's only going to get worse. You have to act in some way, or you're going to incrementally lose your freedoms. One day it's going to affect you. … So you might as well stand up now. Because you're only losing every day.”
