A New English Civil War – be afraid, very afraid You are angry. I am angry. We are all angry. We have watched for decades as our country slowly deteriorated and every single time we spoke up - we were told to shut up. You have every right to be angry. We all do. This is our country and we love it. It may not be trendy to be patriotic and support England, but let us be self-centred for a moment – this is the only country we have. If England fails, where do the English go? We have been tolerant for a long time. We played by the rules in the hope that the government would do their job. We participated in elections and referendums. We told politicians what we wanted and they all ignored us. We voted for Brexit so the excuse of ‘the EU is doing it to us’ would end. We were castigated and shamed for wanting to be a sovereign nation again. We elected Boris Johnson to be our new Churchill and lead us to victory against the Anglophobes but he was a false prophet and a liar. “We are Englishmen; that is one good fact.” - Oliver Cromwell What should people do when their government does not listen to them, holds them in contempt, and enacts policies they do not want? The answer is easy. They vote them out of office at the next election. Simple. What should people do when every elected government and political party does not listen to them, holds them in contempt, and has policies they do not want? The answer is not simple for this is not a democracy – only the appearance of democracy. It is at these times when the people take to the streets to remind the elite that their power is only temporary and reliant on public consent. That which is given can be taken away. When the powers that be ignore this warning for change, the result can be civil war. The first English Civil War started in 1642 to correct the balance of power between Parliament and King Charles I. The Crown was defeated and lost more than just its power. The next civil war will be between Parliament and the People over exactly the same issue we fought over four centuries ago. Power corrupts. Parliament have forgotten that they serve the public at the behest of the public. They are our servants, not our masters. They truly are a disappointment. The current civil unrest and violence across the country may have been triggered by a foreign lunatic stabbing three children to death, but it is not the cause of it. Everyone has a breaking point, including countries - I think we have finally reached ours, but it took a while. Mass rape of children. Terrorism. Cost of living crisis. Highest taxes for a century. Mental health epidemic. Public services crumbling. High levels of crime. Violent crime out of control. Open borders. Illegal immigration. Out of control legal immigration. Low-paid jobs. Large State. Government interference in every aspect of our lives. Covid shambles. Attempt to overturn Brexit. Home ownership out of reach. Constant attack on motorists. Foreign Aid. Green agenda. Woke lunacy. Trans nonsense. The people have made their feelings known, albeit, not always in the most productive manner. The establishment has labelled the people as Nazis, fascists and far-right - whatever that means. No acknowledgement from the Prime Minister that the people have any legitimate concerns or grievances - only that they are wrong, criminal and scum. The gauntlet has been thrown down, the warning has been ignored. It is now a case of who blinks first. “He who stops being better stops being good.” - Oliver Cromwell
