Not sure that the UK allows real votes anymore. The EU and globalists have done a pretty good job on destroying the framework

Unfortunately, maybe not for a few years. In the UK it's not automatically on the calendar. The PM can choose when he calls for new elections so long as it's within 5 years. Since the current PM has only been in office a short time, he can wait quite awhile.

[I'm sending you an extra newsletter today because I've just read (in French) a stunning interview in Valeurs Actuelles, the Paris magazine. I reproduce it below in translation; the italics are in the original:

Quote:

Is France on the verge of tipping over? "With 28 knife attacks per day, the country is no longer safe. We're heading straight for disaster," Jean-Louis Sanchet replies bluntly. This private security consultant created and commanded CRS No. 8, the national police's specialized unit for combating urban violence from 2021 to 2023.
"France experienced its last situation of "civil war" in its history in 1871, during the Paris Commune," introduces Jean-Louis Sanchet. "It was a situation mixing political chaos with social revolt." However, "insurrectional epiphenomena have always been controlled, notably during May 68 or the Yellow Vests in 2018-19." The former commander of CRS No. 8 warns of a climate of "increasingly growing violence across the country . "
For this private security consultant and crisis management specialist, one question arises: what high-risk security scenarios threaten France by 2030? "The factors that lead to a civil war are multiple. But what they all have in common is violence and a feeling of rejection on the part of the population of the laws of the Republic ," comments Jean-Louis Sanchet.

The threat of "community shock"
The former police officer points out five criteria that can cause and be the triggers of a shift towards civil war: ethnic, religious, community, political, social and territorial.
The "ethnic factor" is linked to "tensions in neighborhoods between groups of individuals who do not share the same origin ," he says. Clashes can begin over simple "claims for a country, a sense of belonging to another people . "
Commander Sanchet supports his argument by citing the example of the riots in Dijon in 2020: "This clash is linked to territorial claims in lawless areas between groups of young people with Chechen and Maghreb origins. Drug trafficking may also be at the origin of or associated with the outbreak of these hostilities. The police encountered great difficulty in defusing this situation, in which these "foreigners" no longer claimed their belonging to French nationality but to their religious denomination ." In this case, it was a meeting organized between imams from the two communities and their agreement that made it possible to put an end to this violence.
The "community clash" is one of its aspects that should not be underestimated. "It's one of the consequences of the ethnic factor," continues Jean-Louis Sanchet. "These are populations who put their culture forward, in order to withdraw into themselves." Understand: clashes linked "to a certain hatred towards another community, which we will seek at all costs to dominate ."

This situation leads to violent community tensions, as in 2005, in Perpignan, in the very sensitive Saint-Jacques district: "The traveling community sought confrontation following the murder of one of their own by local youths. This clash took on proportions that were difficult to channel in the restoration of order."
In the short term, it is "the war of territories" that could "tipping France into civil war . " "We are witnessing a Mexicanization of France ," he assures. That is to say, territories that from one day to the next would no longer be under the control of the laws and authority of the Republic. "You are in a situation where a territory can be claimed from one day to the next for community and/or criminal reasons. And then, you are faced with gangs who will do everything to seize it and impose their law."

This situation already has precedents in history, notably in Kosovo, Lebanon and Brazil. "Each time, these lawless areas are controlled by criminal gangs who do not hesitate to loot, extort money and kill anyone who resists them ," insists our police officer. And he warns: "62 neighborhoods of republican reconquest have currently been identified by the intelligence services, without omitting all the others classified as sensitive urban zones (751 ZUS), many of which are considered dangerous."

Example: "The Saint-Denis fracture"
At the end of this analytical reflection, Commander Sanchet proposes a first fictional scenario of a crisis, involving ethnic and community factors, in a predetermined area: Seine-Saint-Denis. The intersection of these security parameters would notably generate urban violence and the application of a zonal state of emergency by the government.

In 2030, a government reform proposes to "dissolve certain associations deemed "communitarian" and to strengthen controls on foreign funding of places of worship ," introduces Jean-Louis Sanchet. The reason? The suburbs are increasingly marginalized. Debates on secularism, national identity, and minority rights are becoming explosive. In response, "an informal coalition is forming" against this government decision.

Community groups denounce "an exclusionary republican universalism . " Far-left groups "are joining forces with these demands ." Adding to this protest movement are "Islamo-left intellectuals and activists, supporting Muslim minorities and anti-capitalist movements ." This coalition of far-left activists, anti-racist groups, and religious groups "are organizing a "March of the Invisible" in Saint-Denis . "
Palestinian and anarchist flags fluttered side by side. Anti-capitalist and anti-Islamophobic slogans were chanted. The march turned violent when "counter-protesters joined in ." The overwhelmed police intervened brutally. The situation escalated and took on unexpected proportions: "An uncontrolled Islamo-leftist insurrection then broke out in the heart of Saint-Denis." The government declared "a state of local emergency . "
The state is being forced to redefine its relationship with diversity, protest, and secularism. The debate on Islamo-leftism, long confined to television sets, "is becoming a constitutional issue ." This scenario illustrates how tensions surrounding communitarianism, the far left, and Islamo-leftism could "crystallize into a major confrontation . " "This is not an immediate civil war ," but a profound ideological clash that could redefine the foundations of the Republic.

[Did you know that UK authorities just accidentally released the asylum-seeker sent to prison for sexually assaulting a woman and a 14-year-old girl? He's now on the run somewhere in London. And did you know that four victims of the Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs investigative panel have quit, and accused the government, through Jess Phillips, the (female) minister leading the inquiry, of trying to control its outcome? It's the same old thing: Labour are terrified of Muslims, and trying very hard to control the Narrative at the expense of the victims, and the common good.

Mary Harrington, as usual, nails it:
Quote:

No surprise, then, to find Labour once again perpetuating that conspiracy of silence. This time it's a desperate scramble to avoid delivering on their promise to conduct a full independent inquiry into these gangs. Having fought tooth and nail to avoid holding a new inquiry, then grudgingly agreed under overwhelming political pressure to do so, Labour is now very obviously seeking to dilute, frustrate, and delay its delivery. Earlier this week, four survivors of the rape gangs resigned from the inquiry's oversight panel, having raised concerns via open letters about what they see as efforts to dilute the inquiry's scope and generalise its focus, as well as tight controls on what they could say and who they were permitted to speak to.

The survivors allege that one Labour mayor is attempting to widen the scope from known grooming victims to whole regions. They complain that the panel now includes CSE survivors whose victimisation did not fit the grooming gang pattern, and who are now - understandably - seeking to widen the scope of the enquiry to cover child sexual exploitation in general. The four resigning survivors have stated they will only return to the panel if Phillips resigns. Meanwhile two candidates to chair the inquiry have pulled out since Tuesday.

But this was wholly predictable. The Labour Party long since abandoned any effort to defend the interests of Britain's white working class, the demographic from which most of the grooming gang victims were drawn. In a pattern that echoes other progressive parties across the developed world, as our country has de-industrialised, Labour's voter base mutated into a coalition between upper middle-class progressives, students, and a patchwork coalition of minorities. Significantly, this includes the majority of Britain's Muslims.


Where, oh where, does populism come from? We may never know. Stupid deplorables! Why don't they shut up and accept what they deserve? What's a little systemic mass rape of white English working-class girls, when the Three Sacred M's Muslims, Migration, and Multiculturalism are at stake?] -Rod Dreher
