I told you this would happen – Belfast 2026 edition.

I am watching the stories come in from Belfast in Ulster and I’m seeing that there’s been a massive and violent reaction to the incident where a Sudanese savage tried to decapitate a local man. The violence against the state that imposed the stabby Sudanese on their community is more intense and critically better organised than I’ve seen in recent years on the mainland of the United Kingdom. The disorder in Ulster is not a few fat drunks throwing wheelie bins at cops, which it would be on the mainland, it’s disorder from those who know how to riot and know how to evade or push back against police tactics. As an ex-public disorder photographer I can recognise the difference between ordered disorder and unorganised disorder and what’s happening in Belfast seems to be the former.

Local people, it is claimed, have set up road blocks and checkpoints that allow through ambulances, fire brigade and other emergency workers but not it seems the Police Service of Northern Ireland. Local people are searching for houses that are suspected of being HMO’s (Homes in Multiple Occupation) that are supposedly housing migrants and setting fire to them. Locals have also allegedly set up ‘Islam free zones’ in Belfast which suggests that it’s not just the Sudanese stabber incident that has piled on the fuel for disorder but also a slow burning and growing unhappiness with Islam and its followers being imposed on their city.

This is the disorder that I warned about and counselled against on numerous occasions. In other articles whose titles have begun with the words ‘I told you this would happen’ I have warned what might happen should unhappiness with mass migration or the imposition of Islam and the free pass that the State gives to its followers not be addressed by peaceful political means and addressed, to the satisfaction of all the nation’s indigenous citizens, by the political classes. Well the political classes have not addressed the issues of excessive levels and inappropriate types of migration and neither have they addressed the public’s concerns about the more troubling aspects of the ideology of Islam. Their inaction on issues that are causing increasing concern among the public has inevitably led to the sorts of scenes that we are seeing in Belfast and soon I believe in other parts of Britain.

Instead of acting on the public’s concerns about migration and related issues such as crime, religious extremism and cultural incompatibility of too many of the migrants who have entered Britain over the last quarter century, the political classes has fobbed the public off. They’ve fobbed the public off by smearing them as ‘racist’ or ‘xenophobic’ or ‘Islamophobic’ or clutched their pearls at the public’s use of words to describe the utter horror that many areas, especially already suffering working class areas, have gone through due to the imposition of unwanted un-vetted migrants or dangerous imported ideologies. A good example of this is the response given by Mr Hilary Benn, the son of that great Labour figure Anthony Wedgewood-Benn, in the Commons to a statement by an MP from the Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) party. The TUV MP talked of the issue of ‘alien cultures’ being imposed on British communities and the impact of these ‘alien cultures’ on local people. Mr Benn’s response was not to recognise the appalling problems that people in Ulster have been forced to live with because of migration but instead to bemoan the Ulster MP’s use of the phrase ‘alien cultures’. We can see in Mr Benn’s response a microcosm of how the political classes always act when someone brings up the issue of migration or alien ideologies or the inability of too many of these migrants to fit in with British society. The response is rarely if ever to address the problem but to go into fits of the vapours over the words used to describe the problem.

Do I want to see the violence that is happening in Belfast and which is likely to occur elsewhere in Britain? Of course I bloody don’t. As I said, I’ve been in public disorder situations as a member of the Press and I know how bad it can be. I know from bitter and hard learned experience that ‘King Mob’ is a capricious and dangerous leader who cannot tell the difference between the innocent and the guilty, who cannot discern the difference between an imported rapist from a culture where rape is somewhat socially acceptable and an integrated law abiding taxpaying migrant who contributes to British society. King Mob cannot distinguish between what might be considered as legitimate targets for protest and those which would be illegitimate to target, all of those people, whether innocent or guilty or those who are just in the wrong place at the wrong time, get stuffed into King Mob’s fiery maw.

What’s galling is all this violence and all this destruction could have been avoided. It could have been avoided by acting on the public’s concerns and not doing as the political Establishment has done on multiple occasions, which is to scream at the public that they are ‘racist’ and attempt to shut down discussions of some very serious issues. Shutting down the public and screaming at them and failing to act on what should have been obvious problems is why Britain has had such unwelcome phenomena as the Rape Gangs, the growth of religious extremism and the terrorism associated with such extremism, the Islamo-Left hate marches every Saturday and so much more. If successive governments had tackled these issues then maybe Britain would not be the powder keg that it has sadly become.

What’s happening in Belfast – and what might be mirrored elsewhere in the nation during what looks like is going to be a long hot and angry summer – has been a long time coming. Lots of smaller hurts felt by the British people, ranging from the fact that much of the immigration of recent decades has been decidedly unwanted, the unequal allocation of state resources, unequal housing allocations, two tier policing and justice, the unpunished and in some cases studiously ignored by the Establishment mass rapes and the other crimes that have been brought to our shores by outsiders, have built up and now we are starting to hear the beginnings of the crescendo starting to play.

As the political commentator Pete North said on the X platform, “The ultimate responsibility for the riots rests with Starmer. He knew from day one that immigration and asylum was an incendiary issue. He chose to mask the problem rather than deal with it.” Mr North has a point there. A sensible leader, no matter which party that they led, could have seen very easily that the issue of migration was a political and social disaster waiting to happen and that the response to it from the people might be ‘challenging’ if the problems that are related to migration were not solved. Starmer could have said ‘this is a bad situation, it must be solved’ but instead he doubled down on the usual rhetoric and the stock phrase ‘diversity is a strength’. Starmer should have seen how bad things were and acted accordingly for the benefit of the majority but he didn’t.

Where I differ from Mr North is that I believe that the current problems which include the riots in Belfast and any future disturbances related to migration and migrant crime that might occur on the mainland of Britain are not just the fault of Sir Kier Starmer. They are the fault of generations of terrible politicians who have imposed on Britons awful people, from awful cultures and with awful ideologies. This didn’t need to happen but it has.

There is now a serious and an increasingly violent division in British society but this division has not been created or brought into being by the British people themselves, they’ve been remarkably tolerant of some truly despicable stuff that’s been landed on our laps. That division has been brought to us by a political class that all too often has treated the British people with contempt and their concerns as not worth listening to. The problems could and should have been solved to the satisfaction of the people but there were not and what we see today and what we may see over the summer is the fault of the political classes.

I told you this would happen and sadly yet again I’ve been proven correct. I wish I’d been wrong and the political classes had not led us to this sorry state of affairs and that we’d been spared what we are seeing and what we are likely to see over the coming months and years.
