England criminalizes opposition to Islamization

Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour:
England hath need of thee: she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,
Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,
Have forfeited their ancient English dower
Of inward happiness. We are selfish men;
Oh! raise us up, return to us again;
And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power.

-- William Wordsworth, "London, 1802"

Today's English rulers will fight on the police barricades, they will fight in the law courts, they will fight on the BBC airwaves. They will never surrender to those who want England to be English.

Baron Bodissey of Gates of Vienna writes:

Last night Tommy Robinson, the leader of the English Defence League, was “fitted up” with a new set of bogus police charges. This stratagem was designed to put him out of action during the long hot summer, since the conditions of his bail included a ban on all EDL-related activities. ...

All other methods have failed, so the gloves are off, and we are seeing the police state in action. There’s no more pretense about the rule of law, no more democratic process, just straightforward totalitarian repression.

Gates of Vienna's correspondent, Seneca III, thinks the EDL represents a force too strong to be repressed. In its anxiety to keep the Muslim colonizers happy, the Establishment has in effect declared war on England. Warlike measures will breed war.

What states and their agents accomplish by such actions is to drive legitimate concerns underground, and in the process they move protest to a different plane, first to revolt and then to revolution. And when such measures are implemented in order to sustain and enable an alien invasion they can but bring down the absolute wrath of those so invaded upon their heads.

The Defence Leagues in particular, and the Counterjihad in general, must now learn how to operate in this underground not of their own making. New, cellular structures must be created; covert means of communication must be established; strong regional leadership, trained and able to operate locally and independently as well as nationally and jointly, must be emplaced; group and self-discipline and security must become the watchwords of every member and all must prepare themselves for the long haul and the inevitable attrition that will go with it.

How quickly times and places change. Half a century ago, England -- despite its embrace of socialism -- was still a country that valued free speech, as exemplified by Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park; was quietly proud of its Anglo-Saxon and Norman history; was home of the two greatest English language newspapers, the Times and the Telegraph (both now pale wraiths of their former selves); had pubs without loud music and gambling machines, where people talked instead of shouted.

Back then the police were unarmed ("Bobbies on bicycles two by two," as a pop song had it) and exemplified their country's traditional good manners; at their most aggressive, they'd ask, "'Ello, 'ello, what's all this then?"

Now, when they're not filling out forms or issuing citations for improperly recycling trash, the Bobbies are the State's front-line troops of repression -- against the EDL and similar. They look frightening and are meant to. They are not gentle. 

What has brought all this on? The growth of the Left beyond economic theory into an all-embracing social Marxism; and mass immigration imposed by a ruling class in a deliberate campaign of population replacement.

I looked up the English Defence League's web site. It's pretty "wet," not radical, mostly stuff a columnist for the Telegraph might write. The difference is that the EDL isn't satisfied with making debater's points. It sees England being ever more Islamized, with opposition met by riot police and attack dogs. It reckons that if nothing changes England will be a sharia-compliant totalitarian state within a few years, and has committed to stopping the trend, not just complaining like most of the indigenous English.

The fact that the EDL members are mostly working class is an advantage. They know what they have lost via population replacement. They have used their fists outside the pub after closing time. They know the streets. Good.

Unlike the rest of us, they are not afraid of the State's shark teeth. Or if they are afraid, unlike the rest of us, they do not show it. England hath need of them.

It is the multi-cultural commissars who should be afraid.
