There is a brilliant but sobering article that has recently been published on the American conservative leaning news and comment site The Sentinel. It has been authored by Mr Andrew Gardner, a UK origin writer and concerns the all too familiar story of the British Islamic Rape Gang phenomenon and the failure of both the State and its agencies along with the media, to fail to get to grips with this problem or even speak out it honestly.

Mr Gardner couples the ongoing and devastating problems of these rape gangs with the increasingly un-free environment that exists in the United Kingdom. Mr Gardner remarks that the crackdown on freedom of speech, a freedom that underpins all other freedoms, is ‘sinister’ and sadly I’m tempted to agree with him. With regards the issue of freedom of speech Mr Gardner of course referenced the banning from UK of Lauren Southern, Brittany Pettibone and Martin Sellner and said that Britain is a dystopian state of the type ‘ that could only have been dreamed up by George Orwell and Ray Bradbury working together’. Unfortunately for all of us, especially those who live in the UK, this description of Britain today is not hyperbole, it is the ghastly reality which British subjects have to endure.

The response of Her Majesty’s Government to the issue of the Islamic Rape Gangs, and these gangs are indeed mostly made up of Muslims in general and Pakistani Muslims in particular, has been to shoot down the various messengers who have spoken up. ‘Shut up and say nothing’ seems to be the message that HMG is giving to the populace and the authorities are enforcing this message harshly, sometimes using the criminal law with which to do so. But the Government, or those organisations that share a similar ‘don’t look at the Islam’ view as the Government does, on other occasions uses more subtle but no less damaging means to frighten people into silence or to shut people up. Tactics such as removing dissidents’ right to use social media or the web to discuss these issues or putting dissidents in fear of losing their livelihood. People can also be subjected to social opprobrium from those who swallow the increasingly discredited line that everything in the multicultural garden is rosy and that Islam is truly a religion of peace. Those who dissent from this party line can also be intimidated by being exposed via doxing or similar actions, and thereby put at risk of Leftist and Islamist violence aimed at either the dissident or their families, and that is a powerful disincentive to speak out.

This is not a good situation for any nation that sees itself or wants to be considered as free and advanced to be in, it really isn’t. Mr Gardner makes a similar point when he speaks of the ‘boiling pressure cooker’ that Britain has unfortunately become. He’s partially correct in that analogy but I don’t think that the ‘boiling pot’ description goes far enough. What we have is not so much a boiling pressure cooker but a boiling and roiling magma chamber. The magma chamber in my analogy represents the British people no matter what race or peaceful religious faith they may profess, sitting underneath a solid volcanic plug that represents the Government’s often heavy-handed response to public anger, an anger that even though it may be intemperately and offensively expressed at times, is to a large extent justifiable. There is now so much evidence available to show that there is a problem and also where the sources of this problem lie, both religious and cultural, that it would be difficult to justify people not being angry, frightened and concerned.

Mr Gardner said:

The pressure cooker is building up a head of steam now. This cannot go on indefinitely. The more the politicians refuse to discuss, or even acknowledge what is happening, and the more victims have to live this miserable existence not believed or listened to, the bigger the eruption will be.

There is instability everywhere in Europe. In Italy the established left got less than 20% of the vote recently. Marie Le Pen in France took 11M votes, and the Socialists got just 6%. In Germany the right AfD (Alternative for Germany) also took a big vote, with around 50% voting against Merkel. There are no clear winners from established parties. The people are now getting restless, they demand change, the like of which has not seen for some time.

We are on the cusp of a political upheaval in Europe. And specifically in the UK. A Tea Party moment. It will be more than Brexit, more than just a new political party being formed, and more than a general dissent. The door is about to be kicked in and it is coming soon.

Ignoring problems that the Government should and could solve and then smashing up the societal safety valve that freedom of speech represents, isn’t keeping the lid on the current problems it is making them much, much worse. There may come a time, possibly sooner than we would like to think, when the plug can no longer be kept on the magma chamber or the magma may burst out via another part of the volcano and the results will be horrible. I agree with Mr Gardner that this issue goes beyond Brexit. It also is, as he says, not just about an overall rise in dissent being voiced or about forming new political parties to challenge the legacy parties who have brought Britain to such an unenviable position. It will be much more than that and it will, to my mind, be truly awful.

Talking to people and taking note of the vibes from various online platforms and communities where the current problems and the lack of action taken by the Government to sort them out, are discussed I get the sense that there is a febrile atmosphere developing in Britain and it’s an atmosphere that really doesn’t smell that sweet. This febrile atmosphere has a scent of things that have happened before in Britain’s past, noisome smells, the stink of violence, of unnecessary and unjust bloodshed, of pogroms, of religious and social intolerance, of brother against brother. I detect in this new atmosphere the unwanted and cadaverous whiff of the Anarchy of the 12^th century, the kinslaying among the House of Plantagenets in the Wars of the Roses, the Expulsion of the Jews, the destruction wrought in the battles between Parliament and Crown and the effluent produced by the terrible edicts of ‘King Mob’ during the Gordon Riots. I do not wish to have any of these foul stenches assail my nose, nor do I want the noses of my countrymen, whoever they are, similarly assailed, and I pray that this miasma will depart as quickly and as peacefully as possible.

Mr Gardner is worryingly correct when he states in his final paragraph that ‘the door is going to be kicked in and its coming soon.’ I share his view to a certain extent on this and I fear greatly what may lie behind the door once it has been resoundingly kicked in. The sort of anger that has been forcibly held, by the government and others, behind this metaphorical door, may not be of the type of anger that can easily be channelled into peaceful political activity and could easily be the stuff of nightmares. I take no pleasure in saying this as I have always hoped and indeed prayed, as regular readers of my writings will know, for a political solution, a peaceful and just solution to our problems, put together by politicians who respect our past and will work for our futures and the futures of our children.

Unfortunately we are not at present ruled by such a type of politician, we are ruled instead by moral and intellectual pygmies, many of whom are not fit to grace either the green or the red benches of the Palace of Westminster. The first and often only response to that this by now highly isolated political class, and also the media class, to those who bring their genuine and well founded concerns about what certain religious and cultural ideologies are doing to the nation, is to tell the supplicant subjects to ‘shut up or else’. This is too often coupled with denials that any problem exists the smearing of dissidents as ‘scaremongers’ or ‘racist’ or ‘right wing extremists’ or any one of a large number of empty ‘snarl’ words that can and have been employed.

From my vantage point I can see that the denials by successive governments that we have problems is something that is becoming derided among those outside of the Westminster bubble. Every time the phrase ‘religion of peace’ is uttered by a politician, that politician immediately becomes the subject of mockery and rightly so. Whenever data is twisted on serious issues to fit in with a particular religio-political problem, such as that of Islamic Rape Gangs as it was in the Berelowitz report into child sexual exploitation, people notice and get angrier. This report, which tried to fool the public by playing the issue of on street grooming down took the view that because most nonces were white ergo there wasn’t a problem with Muslims targeting non-Muslim children for sexual exploitation and this problem was smaller than it has subsequently been revealed to be.

Each lie or denial of the extent of our problems by a politician, every debasement of data by a civil servant, every slander used against decent but worried subjects, every example of a person gaoled for voicing an opinion that someone found ‘offensive’ increases the gulf between ruler and ruled. Both the monarchs called Elizabeth have, to different degrees and at different times, understood that to occupy the throne effectively the king or queen must know the nation, understand its people and protect both. This is a lesson that our current political classes have quite obviously failed to learn or practise. From their bubbles and ivory towers this political class, and it is as much a real class as the landowning aristocracy of old, dispense policies that will rarely if ever negatively affect them but have been devastating to the great many others to whom this class has resolutely stopped their ears to and masked their eyes from.

Mr Gardner is sadly right on target when he says about the current situation in Britain that ‘this can’t go on indefinitely’. Despite Britain morphing into a country where too many of its subjects fear the 5am knock on the door from the police or be subjected to one of more forms of digital ‘unpersoning’, the anger and the fear is building is becoming worryingly palpable. The lid on this magma chamber cannot be held down forever, there are already sulphurous emissions coming from potential new vents on the mountainside and I can start to discern cracks on the door that holds back some of the nightmares mentioned earlier.

I look a this build up of tension and I ask myself a big question and that is how can the pressure be relived from the boiling magma chamber that Britain has become? Nobody in their right mind would want to see lava gushing out of new vents or blasting apart the volcanic plug in the caldera. That route is guaranteed destruction for all, a gyre of horror, injustice and pain.

One way to relieve the pressure that is building up would be for those who rule over us and administer the machinery of government both national and local, spiritual and temporal, to cease denying that there are problems. They should speak honestly and frankly about them, despite the knowledge that by doing so, it offends those so spoken about and even if, especially if, some turn to violence because they are offended. The right to speak freely must be protected from violent intimidation. Those whose concerns about things like rape gangs and other negative aspects of the ideology of Islam and have been so disgracefully unheard for so long need to be allowed to speak and to be listened to as do those who have left orthodox Islam in order to do something less destructive instead.

For there to be honesty and dialogue all round there needs to be freedom to speak, not just for the Parliamentarian as is the case at present, or for the wealthy advertiser or media mogul or the increasingly Orwellian BBC, but for the people, everyone great or small. With the shackles of ‘hate speech’ laws removed along with the lifting of the fear of arrest that many have about voicing their opinions, things may change for the better for all of us in the long run. With the right to speak freely whether the words are good or bad, intelligent of complete and utter wibble, we will once again have the ability, one that has for too been long neglected or forbidden, to fashion the tools which we need to repair the damage that has been done to our society. We cannot even approach the problems we face let alone solve them if we cannot openly and honestly discuss and debate them and to do so in an atmosphere of freedom.

There should be an end to identity politics activist groups having the current level of influence over the way that we are governed, administered, defended or policed. Such groups, even those that are naively well meaning, help to siloise and divide people just as effectively as the very worst and credible examples of inciting racial hatred are claimed to do. The incorporation of special interest identity politics groups in the machinery of government has also created a situation where all too often a policy success for a small identity politics group impinges on the rights of those in other minority groups or of the majority. We can see an example of this sort of corruption of the State by how a tiny but loud group of transgender activists have had too much influence on government policy. The success that these activists had now means that parents are rapidly losing their rights to dissent against a gender ideology that has too many negative aspects about it, for it to be presented as ‘truth’ to vulnerable pre-pubescent children.

There is an urgent need for a tactical pressure reliving shaft to be drilled into the plug of our volcano to stop it exploding and causing devastation, something many of us no matter what our religion or place on the political spectrum do not wish to see. We can create, if we do it quick enough, this pressure relieving shaft by removing the restrictions currently on the subject’s right to voice an opinion and by an end to the denial of the existence of problems and complete honesty about them from our rulers. However the longer that these vital relief works are delayed, the greater the likelihood of some form of unwanted and disturbing political and social upheaval occurring that might not end well for everyone.

To conclude: I really hope and pray that Mr Gardner is wrong in his prediction that Britain’s social and political door is going to be blown off its hinges because what is behind that door could be relatively good or terribly bad. It could be a peaceful political sea change, something I’d very much like to see, or more worryingly the possibility of monsters created by the very worst parts of human nature. I would much prefer that Britain’s future was one of openness, honesty, responsibility and transparency when confronting our current problems, rather than the much more dangerous, uncertain and divided future that could come from continuing the current Establishment policies of, dissemble, divert and deny.
