An excellent, balanced, and coherent piece. Thank you so much for it. I find the image of the fractured Union Flag to be heart-breaking. Across our nation we are faced with the choice between chaos and community, as was voiced before. The law-breaking, rioting and violence is very, very wrong, but the responses have not been balanced and impartial. The unrest has not been granted any legitimacy in any of its related grievances, either by the government or by the judicial and enforcement authorities. But the grievances of those native communities involved are legitimate. Many are subject to the impacts of mass migration, societal erosion, failed integration, and on-street intimidation and misogyny. These communities also endure knife-crime, petty-crime, and drug abuse - driven and implemented by a hostile and organised criminality, and are denied any remedy and given no voice. They are offered no hope or redemption. To cast any complaint as a part of a "far-right thuggery" only, and to turn a blind-eye to all else offers nothing. Nothing is not enough. The loss of trust in authority widely across the native and national working-class cannot be understated and it cannot be dismissed.
I just looked this article up because I wanted to complain about not being allowed to share my perspectives after getting one article published in 2021. I have been censored and I look at these White Lives Matter Riots in the context of my being censored by the Equiano Project and being just another white pigmented working class man denied a voice. At the time I recall being asked whether it is better that we have people of colour speaking out in leadership roles over questions around race and racism and criticism of the status quo from white pigmented perspectives? I broadly agreed but I am unhappy with how things worked out. I didn't forsee having no voice and being censored even though I can see there is clearly something to say for being able to step aside from high emotions at the time and write as Ada has done here which I generally applaud. Nevertheless, Ada was unable to name the White Lives Matter causation of these riots despite drawing parallels with Black Lives Matter protests, rioting and looting in 2020. Despite being able to get distance and perspective on this current English and Nothern Irish rioting, I do feel that censorship of older white pigmented working class male perspectives also has disadvantages and I should be allowed to get my articles published again. It was never explained to me why I was being censored by the Equiano Project despite having joined up right at the start in 2020. I feel the White Lives Matter rioters and the 12% of the UK population who support them will not listen to comment from people who are not white now the opportunity to redefine our problems away from our skin pigment has been denied us by organisations like the Equiano Project set up specifically with defending Liberalism in mind. For instance I have white pigmented skin but so do some 'Black' identifying people and I do not identify with race because I find it counterproductive and mentally unhealthy. I could have been making these arguments for 3 years now, but now we are left with White Lives Matter which I criticise as much as Black Lives Matter as inevitably going to encourage Racism. So sad Inaya didn't want my perspectives but I am still willing to write and work together if you change your minds which I would consider an apology and acknowledgement you were wrong.
The global corporate state - the fascistic conglomeration of global corporations, organizations and think tanks like Blackrock, the UN and affiliates, the WEF etc. - is pushing govts to increase migration to record levels, as part of a bigger plan to undermine the homogeneity of countries so as to break them down and create a superstate. Peter Sutherland (former UN Rep for Migration, Irish Senator, BP and Goldman Sachs Chairman, EU and Trilateral Commissioner) explained this to the House of Lords: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-18519395
Migrants are being used as a political, social and economic weapon to help destroy countries, without the consent of the people. When people are not having their views represented in govt, then protest, direct action and violence are the next steps. In this case, it's exacerbated by the fact that the issue at hand is one as fundamental as the continued existence of their communities, their right to the land that they've lived on for generations, and their country. This violence then gives the govt an excuse to brand all opposition to migration as far-right, white-supremacist thuggery (led by cartoon caricatures like Tommy Robinson) and enact further measures to repress such sentiment.
Starmer's govt is showing how much it despises the British people, who are seen by him and the globalist forces he works for as the biggest bulwark to their plans for overall global control, and the enemy that needs crushing.
I'm impressed with Ada and her humanity. The majority would agree. Jeanette explains the feelings of most indigenous Europeans I think. A typical example of Muslim attitudes would be Humza Yusaf and Anas Sarwar, Scots celebrated their promotion as a sign of successful integration and cohesion. The Muslim pair turned on the Scottish public emboldened by the BLM terrorism phase to agitate for more power for 'their community". They come accross as not wanting cohesion in favour of dominance. They are not alone and hard truths need faced regarding Islam in the west. Uncontrolled immigration is costly and dangerous. The left dominated media who whipped up a frenzy of anti white hatred over Floyd's death make nothing of white children being raped and murdered. The anti semitic behaviour being tolerated week after week on the streets, leniency for minorities celebrating October 7th paragliders from a Muslim judge while a white man is jailed for putting up stickers saying its OK to be white or a woman for saying a man cannot be a woman reek of injustice and discrimination. It's typical that in Leeds police run from minorities rioting but Starmer uses the trope far right for whites protesting and sends in riot police. The list of grievances is becoming endless, it doesn't bode well when any terrorist thug can get on a boat and be taken by the RNLI to a hotel and young white boys are being hated on at school every day by feminists, anti white racists and told they are toxic. Ada has the right idea but we are importing intolerance, mixing it with far left identity politics and expecting harmony. We are on a downward spiral at present.
The point I'm prudently trying to make is that democratic solutions rarely work in undemocratic situations. We wrongly assume that living in the same country means we all share the same values and standards. We think our democratic values protect us, but in reality, they make us vulnerable to those who exploit them.
On one side, there's a large group of immigrants who don't respect the basic principles of democracy and cause significant trouble. On the other side, we have leaders who, due to their luxurious beliefs, fail to see the consequences of their policies. As a result, ordinary people (including immigrants who live peacefully in the UK) are caught between policy and reality. In my own article on the consequences of luxurious beliefs, which touches on similar themes, I discuss this issue further:
“The way many Western countries have managed high immigration has created a new social underclass that competes with the native low-educated population for jobs, housing, and social services. This competition is intensified by housing shortages, declining social services, and rising living costs. The middle class, in particular, feels its prosperity eroding, leading to societal stagnation and disruption. These negative effects largely bypass the upper class, as the disruptions occur in neighborhoods they seldom frequent. By dismissing legitimate concerns about immigration, we provoke a nationalist backlash that opposes all forms of immigration, effectively throwing the baby out with the bathwater.”
Unless we acknowledge the adverse impacts of immigration and certain luxury beliefs on a significant portion of the population and actively pursue alternative policies, I believe the issues will only intensify. I concur with Ada on the importance of maintaining our shared humanity; however, when values are in such stark contrast that coexistence results in the suppression and loss of freedom for the indigenous population, dialogue alone may not suffice. Instead, we must take a strong stand against hatred, intolerance, and anti-democratic ideologies.
For people who are interested in the full article:
Legal immigration must include respect and for and cooperation with the dominant culture to which legal immigrants come. All illegal immigration — apart from those meriting asylum who cross boundaries without permission — begins with disrespect for the country transgressed and should not be tolerated.
I appreciate your thorough analysis of this subject from a non-European perspective. However, I'd like to add some nuance that's missing from your discussion. Over the past thirty years, European countries, particularly the UK, have seen a significant influx of immigrants, many of whom are strict Muslims. This has led to the establishment of insular communities with little consultation or integration, where the minority imposes its will on the majority, often supported by government and police. As a result, many people feel threatened in their own country. There have been numerous calls to address immigration and promote societal cohesion, but these have often been ignored. In Europe, unlike in the US, we lack certain protections such as the First Amendment, making it easier for voices to be silenced under the guise of hate speech. While I do not condone violence and am not opposed to immigration, allowing large numbers of people with values that starkly contrast with democratic principles inevitably leads to problems, and it seems that moment has now arrived. The typically polite and reserved nature of the English has perhaps delayed this confrontation, but it has been building for a long time.
This is why they've increased immigration to record levels, to create mini colonies which will gradually break countries up, and weaken the sense of being a united, independent nation with a strong, independent culture. This is the intention.

Thank you for a generally spot-on analysis!
Brilliant. Thank you.

Yes!
Ada, that's a really good article, which I will be posting on Facebook and distributing to friends.
