Not The Revolution Needed

We dodged a bullet at the weekend, the police did a fine job (not often I say that), and the £800k is chickenfeed compared to costs had it kicked off. Both sides taunted the other, and elements on both sides were wanting trouble.

The trouble is, as I said in a comment on my previous post, is that these confrontations are going to get more frequent and, in all probability, worse.

Two of the things Labour have managed to do is destroy social mobility, and turn multiculturism into a collection of insular enclaves. Rather than keep mixing things, they've allowed society to settle into distinct strata, and in such conditions views and behaviours start to become entrenched.

Worse, it makes spending decisions look questionable - if you spend money on an area, and that area is pretty monocultural it looks like favouritism regardless of whether it is or not. That breeds resentment.

The benefits class and low-paid working classes are starting to get fed up with what they see as the Islamification of the UK, and the bourgeois middle classes ignore that at their peril. We're in dodgy economic times, and we're due another dip in the economy, and that's just going to engender more anger.

The EDL are likely to inspire the Muslim groups to arm - back in the day, at school, the one time the various white clades combined in the face of Asian aggression, the Asians upped the stakes by bringing weapons, such as knives, in - and the EDL are a collection of groups, normally hitting one another, who have combined in the face of what they perceive as a threat.

Not wishing to proclaim impending doom or anything, but these are all pointers to trouble ahead. The problem being that the people able to do anything about this exist in their own strata, alienated from those whose anger is bubbling away nicely, and so not really able to understand what the hell is going on.

From their rarified heights they see racism, they see people being unreasonable, what they don't see is how these people have reached these points and their day-to-day lives. They go off theory, and how they expect people to act - when the only Muslims you know are the very reasonable middle-aged doctors, lawyers and media luvvies earning a small fortune, it's hard to see the see the young, angry lost ones trapped between western temptation and imported cultural expectation earning pittance.

When you live in your £250k+ suburban semi, in a mainly white area, it's hard to see those trapped in terraced hell, increasingly feeling alienated in their own hometowns and wanting someone, anyone, to blame and lash out at.

That's where the revolution will start, it won't be pretty, and I don't think the end result will be good or beneficial to Britain. Labours lasting legacy may very well be a permanently scarred nation.
