Peloni: Britain is caught in a trap in which the British hold a majority share in their country, but the power is more and more concentrated in the hands of those whose determination remains set to keep this majority quiet and quiescent, as if in anticipation of a Dhimmi future which has already been preetermined for them. Notably, a similar future to this is intended for America as well, but will America have what is needed to save itself from such a fate as Britain is facing, and in doing so, will it lead to Britain being saved as well?

“Unite the Kingdom” protesters marching on Upper Woburn Place in London, APK, Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
On the same day, May 16, and at the same time, two rallies were held in London. One was Unite the Kingdom, a patriotic gathering of 60,000 marchers, who are alarmed at Muslim immigration transforming their country, worried about a decline in social cohesion, and furious that the government is making major decisions without consulting them. The other, and far smaller march of 20,000 people, was not about Britain at all, but about a faraway event that occurred more than 76 years ago: what the Arabs call the “Nakba” or catastrophe, which is how they describe the flight of Arabs from Mandatory Palestine, and then Israel, between the fall of 1947 and 1949.
More on those two differing protests, one about the transformation of Britain through large-scale Muslim immigration, and the other having nothing to do with Britain but, instead, was one more anti-Israel rally disguised as sympathy for the “Palestinians” for a nonexistent “expulsion” — it was largely a voluntary flight — from Israel, can be found here: “The Two Britains on the Streets of London,” by Paul Birch, European Conservative, May 23, 2026:
Britain is no longer divided by ordinary politics. It has split into two rival nations which loathe each other, obey different moral rules and receive radically different treatment from the state.
Last Saturday’s rival demonstrations in London exposed that divide with unusual clarity. On one side stood ‘Unite The Kingdom,’ the event organised primarily by now-veteran nationalist campaigner Tommy Robinson. At this, thousands of people who are angry about immigration, national decline, and the feeling that their country is being transformed without their consent gathered in order to display their frustration and patriotism.On the other was another large ‘Nakba Day’ march, part of the now permanent cycle of pro-Palestinian activism that has dominated London’s streets since the Hamas atrocity on October 7, 2023. The Nakba Day event is an annual protest to commemorate the Nakba, which refers to the mass dispossession of Palestinians (as the demonstrators see it) during the 1948 Arab–Israeli war surrounding the establishment of the State of Israel.
Both protests were controversial in their own ways. Both required significant policing. Yet only one was subjected to live facial recognition technology. Only one was treated as a potential security threat before a single banner had even been raised. Only one marched under extraordinary state surveillance. And only one had a number of European speakers denied entry to the UK. I’m sure you can guess which one. The message was impossible to miss. Britain’s establishment no longer simply disagrees with patriotic dissent. It increasingly treats it as dangerous….
Against that backdrop, the policing operation around ‘Unite the Kingdom’ was striking. Thousands of officers, riot units, mounted police, helicopters, reinforcements drafted in from across the country, and the sinister threat to deploy new armoured vehicles in the UK for the first time. The language surrounding the event sounded less like routine crowd control than preparation for some form of domestic insurgency….
But Saturday exposed something deeper than political bias. It revealed a profound moral and class divide. Siobhan Whyte was about to speak at the Unite the Kingdom rally. It will be remembered that Siobhan is the mother of Rhiannon Whyte, the young woman who worked at a migrant hotel and, for her trouble, was stabbed to death with a screwdriver twenty-three times in the head and chest by one of the residents. Shortly before Siobhan Whyte addressed the crowd, activists ‘Led By Donkeys’ projected the slogan ‘Immigration makes Britain brilliant’ onto a giant screen nearby.
These so-called progressives are a distinctly self-satisfied activist group born of middle-class contempt for the 2016 Brexit vote. They regularly congratulate themselves (and so does the mainstream media) for their oh-so-witty stunts. Whatever their intention on this occasion, the effect was grotesque—a smug abstraction about diversity being ‘our strength’ looming over the grief of a bereaved mother.
Shannon Whyte, after all, is a heart-rending example of the cost of migration — in this case, her daughter’s murder — to the people of Britain who do not live and work, as the well-off do, far from the migrants who cause such mayhem among the Infidels and, in Rhiannon Whyte’s case, murder.
The millions of Muslim economic migrants who have come in recent decades to the U.K. did so in order to take advantage of every benefit the generous British welfare state provides: free or greatly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education including language tuition, unemployment benefits even for those who have no record of work in the U.K., family allowances, and more. It is these migrants who are placed in country inns, where they disrupt the peaceful rural villages, and in city hotels, or provided with subsidized housing that is no longer available for the long-suffering poor of Britain. The children of these migrants tax the education system, both through overcrowding of classrooms with the influx of these migrant children, and the chaos the migrant children cause in the classroom through their lack of discipline, bullying of non-Muslim classmates, and refusal to submit to the discipline of teachers who are of course leery of being accused of “racism” and “Islamophobia” for even the mildest attempts at maintaining discipline in the classrooms.
The disaffected citizens of Britain, like those who took part in the Unite The Kingdom rally, need to see that their government no longer vilifies them for their “patriotic anxiety.” Those taking part in such protests should be assured that they will not be subject to much more aggressive policing than those taking part in “Nakba” protest rallies. They want to be able to discuss “multiculturalism” — a code word for the passive acceptance of Islamization of British society — truthfully, openly, and critically. They want respect from their own government, instead of the ill-concealed contempt for them as bigots and know-nothings, simply because the growing number of aggressive Muslims in their midst so alarms them. That is not much to ask.
As so often, the underlying cause is pure greed. Give a politician a handful of petro-dollars and the system will be adjusted as you would like.
Politicians are not stupid, just greedy, like all over the world.
What you say of politicians goes for their electors. I have been an election activist – leaflets, canvassing, letter writing … for forty years and the number of ways in which voters on the doortep can say or intimate negativity is worth a stand up comedy show.
The average attitude is, “We run a business NOT a charity, [and immigrant labour is cheap and breaks the unions]” or “I’ ve got my problems and will vote for whoever mends the roads” – but then they vote against taxes to do so.
Then there are the welfare bashing hypocrites. Over half the welfare billl is old age pensions and we are in for a perfect storm these fifteen years as the post war baby bulge reaches pension age and puts up health spending with it.
