#1 They were yesterday forced to look elsewhere to live - after top brass warned them against inflaming racial tensions near the Queen's Windsor Castle home...

So you can spill your blood resisting the jihad in Afghanistan, but you're being taught to surrender at home?

#2 No. 10 distanced itself from Straw's statement on the mozzie veil, as well.

Add this two events together and observe how idiotarian the appeasenik left has screwed up England. This seems to ooze from every aspect of English life. Utterly appalling!

#3 I think Britain has lost her way badly, perhaps fatally. This story, the Muslim who harrangued a wounded soldier ... and the closing of military hospitals, forcing soldiers dealing with post-combat problems to mix with civilian patients .... it does not bode well for the UK choosing to retain its culture and identity.

We are the Hollow Men

wrote the born-American / became-British poet T. S. Eliot 80 years ago. And he knew the emptiness of a certain class in the culture he was embracing very well.

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
...
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
...
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

I wish it weren't so and it need not be so. But I do not see much stirring that would preclude it.

Churchill inspired / harrangued / bullied Britain to go past the despair of the post-WWI upper class, to fight the Nazis in WWII. Where is his equivalent today? And how many would follow?

#4 until Ken Livingstone is beaten to death with Korans, things won't change - the dearming of the populace has contributed to a degeneration of spinal support. When will our cousins awake? I'm stocking ammo now. They could power small neighborhoods by the spinning in Churchill's grave. F*&king cowards. WAKE THE F*&K UP!

#5 Churchill inspired / harrangued / bullied Britain to go past the despair of the post-WWI upper class, to fight the Nazis in WWII.

Britain was dying before WWI, as documented by Geroge Dangerfield in The Strange Death of Liberal England. Churchill simply beat a final triumph out of her by avoiding defeat. It was the truth of this that made him so upset by the fictional protrayal of this in the Archer's Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. With the issuance of the Beveridge Report, in the same year as the issuance of Blimp, it was gone.

Languishing in Sydney's Parklea jail, accused of being a major drug dealer.

#8 I'm feeling very depressed now. It is clear to me now that war can not be avoided - no matter what happens now. The inds of war are blowing, the dialog is changing and this one isn't going to be about a few bombing runs or 2000 deaths over the course of years. This will be full on war with the brutality and slaughter that humans have conducted since time began. We had the chance and once again the appeaseniks wasted it. I guess every generation gets their war. It's all such a stupid waste. I'm feeling down.

#9 It's all such a stupid waste.

Yes - a waste of lives, of money, of possibilities. But war isn't the worst of the possible outcomes.

#11 War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. -- John Stuart Mill

Mill was right, but he wrote before the age of nuclear weapons, of mass slaughter in the millions rather than the hundreds and thousands.

anon, I do not happily embrace what may be coming either. I wish, I wish we could wake up those in the West who are determined not to deal with this threat while it can be dealt with short of such violence. I haven't given up all hope, but there are days when I come close.

#12 Overlapped, lotp. Indeed, the essential thing are worth fighting for, despite the Stalinism masquerading for liberalism (or progressivism, as a5089 wisely differentiates) mantra to the contrary.

I don't recall who said it here (NS?), but I agree that the UK may be the first to fall.

#13 Ironic that you quote an Englishman who got it. A century at current rates of change certainly contains a LOT of contextual changes.

#19 The canary in the mineshaft will be Iran.

If we have the courage to cripple Iran's quest for nuclear fire, then there may be hope, for America at least.

If the international community permits Iran accession to atomic weapons, then any resolution of this matter will most likely require limited or total nuclear war. In light of how ill-prepared for nuclear war the vast bulk of Muslim-majority countries are, it will be pretty much one-sided and catastrophic.

Yes - a waste of lives, of money, of possibilities. But war isn't the worst of the possible outcomes.

If we have any brains it will be a waste of their lives, of their money and of their possible outcomes.

More than anything. They will have brought it upon themselves. We are now past the point of "silence is consent". We have arrived at the point where, "To be silent is to lie". Islam continues to sell us the Big Lie of it being The Religion of Peace [spit]. We are learning to know better. Iran will teach us for once and all.

#20 How about having that "British Muslim policeman" do his duty here.
How is it that folks are so damn blind.
Just unfuckingbelievable.
