Fascism is spreading to England and Trump is the reason

The damage done. Trump gets another distraction. Musk is making his Nazi salute. England is sinking into an American-style division full of violence and hate. A few months ago, two Democrats, a House Representative and her husband, were slain by a Trumpist in the States, and nothing happened. A few days ago, a fascist influencer was assassinated, and across the Atlantic, one hundred thousand racists abandoned their rabbit holes and filled the streets of London with their hate. Hate and racism, and fascism are diseases spreading around the world because of Trump. 

And it gets nastier every day. And he gets richer every day. A genocide is occurring under his watch, yet he expresses only insincere sorrow. He sheds his crocodile tears and wants to canonize a man who despises humanity—a man morally accountable for the deaths of hundreds of transgender individuals and thousands of innocent victims in schools across the United States. Trump wants to elevate him to martyr status. But for what purpose? To promote more gun violence?

Let's focus for a while on England. The country that resisted Nazism and put up a maniacal defence against the Luftwaffe is in danger of voting a far-right nationalist to Downing Street. On Saturday, police officers were “attacked with projectiles” and “assaulted” during far-right anti-immigration protests in London. The British capital’s police force said, as more than 110,000 people took to the city’s streets. The Unite the Kingdom protest was organized by far-right political activist Tommy Robinson. 

This is a man who cannot accept that the old Empire is long gone and is faced with the reality of a new England. This new England cannot suddenly lose all of the immigrants who flocked to the island while it enjoyed its status as the Queen of the Seven Seas, profiting from the riches of others. Where will all these Muslims go? The East Indians, the Pakistanis? The Jamaicans? The Africans? Back to the ravaged places the Empire left behind, devastated by civil war and poverty? Well, it’s too late for that. These are the consequences of Empire: reverse immigration. Open a book and read all about it.

Trump won't. Musk won't. They don't read books. They burn them.

Counter-protesters also flocked to the British capital. They know what colonialism is all about. The Metropolitan Police Service said on social media on Saturday that the reported attacks happened after demonstrators at the Unite the Kingdom march breached a “sterile area” put in place to keep protesters and counter-protesters apart.

“Officers are having to intervene in multiple locations to stop Unite the Kingdom protesters trying to access sterile areas, breach police cordons or get to opposing groups. A number of officers have been assaulted.”

The service said that 26 officers were injured in the clashes and 25 people were arrested. Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist condemned the “wholly unacceptable” attacks in a statement.

“Our post-event investigation has already begun - we are identifying those who were involved in the disorder and they can expect to face robust police action in the coming days and weeks,” Twist said.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan also said that “violence and attacking police officers is completely unacceptable.”

Demonstrators waving flags of the United Kingdom and England—specifically the Union Jack and the Cross of St. George—marched to Whitehall, the area in London where the Prime Minister and government departments are located.

 

This event follows a summer of anti-immigration protests across the country, some of which turned violent. The British and English flags have become increasingly visible in cities and towns throughout the nation in conjunction with these protests.

 

One video captured a protester holding a photograph of the American political activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed on Wednesday. The crowd could be heard chanting Kirk’s name.

“Britain has finally awoken. We’ve been waiting decades,” said Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. “Patriotism and borders are the future, and we want our free speech.” Well, if I know my history well, Lennon is an Irish name, and the Irish have been the victims of racism since the beginning of time. Funny that an Irishman is waving the Union Jack. Kind of reminds you of an Austrian who wanted to be German...

Robinson, founder of the now-defunct English Defence League, was released from prison earlier this year after being jailed for contempt of court over false claims about a Syrian refugee. 

Commander Clair Haynes from the Metropolitan Police acknowledged that many Muslim Londoners might have “particular concerns” about the Unite the Kingdom march due to past incidents of anti-Muslim rhetoric and chants.

"There have been suggestions that Muslim Londoners should change their behavior this Saturday, including refraining from coming into the city. However, that is not our advice. Everyone should feel safe traveling to and around London," said a police spokesperson in a statement released on Friday.

 

At the same time, large crowds gathered for a counter-protest. Politicians such as John McDonnell and Diane Abbott, who are considered left-wing, delivered speeches. Protesters chanted phrases like “No justice, no peace, no fascists on our streets” and “This is what community looks like.”

 

Sangita Myska, a journalist who attended the counter-protest, posted on social media that “people of all political persuasions, classes, races, genders, and abilities are uniting to show that Tommy Robinson’s (also known as Yaxley-Lennon) hate-filled rhetoric does not represent true British values.”
