We’ve received the following comment from our UK subscriber:
What is happening in the UK now is nothing new. We have a long and unillustrious history of religious intolerance here. Until the 21st century it was always between protestants and catholics but a new target emerged on September the 11th 2001 for those in control to exploit for their eternal divide and rule tactic.
It was some time after this when the former British National Party member Stephen Yaxley-Lennon emerged from a stay in an Israeli kibbutz as Tommy Robinson and formed the EDL, or the EJDL to give it its full name although the J part didn’t appear publicly for fear of making its more extreme right members leave. The J being obvious when you look at who his merry band of thugs targetted. From day 1, they went after muslim grooming gangs yet never mentioned the far more numerous non-muslim grooming gangs in existence.
This is not about the crime and never was, it is about demonising a specific group. The EDL ceased to exist as a group around 10 years ago, but its members didn’t stop. They went on to form other groups affiliated with groups well known to Russians since events in Ukraine began, or in some cases, they put on a suit and eventually became Reform UK.
The current events have nothing to do with 3 small girls being murdered, the protests have been hijacked by the same kind of thugs that hijacked Maidan in Ukraine, the UK is in a very dangerous place right now. We have two ends playing off the middle against each other and neither end has their best interests at heart. I honestly don’t see a very good future for the UK.
We are going to have a choice between authoritarianism, anarchy or getting the hell out and forgetting the place ever existed. Option 3 grows ever more attractive.

The comment from our UK subscriber raises some important issues regarding the state of affairs in the UK. The subscriber notes that the current situation of religious intolerance in the UK is not new, citing a long history of conflicts between Protestants and Catholics. However, a new target emerged after the events of September 11, 2001, which allowed those in power to exploit divisions for their own gain.
The subscriber mentions the emergence of figures like Tommy Robinson, formerly known as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who formed the English Defence League (EDL) to target Muslim grooming gangs. However, the subscriber criticizes the focus on demonizing a specific group rather than addressing the issue of crime as a whole. The EDL may have disbanded, but its members have resurfaced in other groups, some of which have ties to far-right organizations.
The subscriber expresses concern about the current state of affairs in the UK, warning that the country is in a dangerous place. They highlight the polarization of society, with two extreme ends playing off each other while the interests of the majority are neglected. The subscriber sees a grim future for the UK, with options ranging from authoritarianism to anarchy or escaping the country altogether.
It is clear from the subscriber’s comment that there are deep-seated issues of division and intolerance in the UK that need to be addressed. It is essential for society to come together and confront these challenges in a constructive and inclusive manner. Only by fostering understanding and unity can the country hope to overcome the threats of authoritarianism, anarchy, and division.
