Here are 5 things that happened in the last week alone, five things that when looked at together not only symbolise the ongoing decline of our country but point to the dark and difficult future that awaits us unless we urgently and radically change course.
First, in the political system, a group of governing Labour MPs, many of whom preside over severely disadvantaged neighbourhoods here in Britain, decided to instead spend their time lobbying for an airport in … Kashmir … to please their local Muslim constituents.
While many of these Labour MPs opposed the expansion of Heathrow airport here in Britain, they are now using their time to prioritise the expansion of air travel in Kashmir (which, interestingly, is the same part of the world where many of the Pakistani Muslim rape gangs come from).
What this reflects is the ongoing injection of a dark and dangerous sectarianism into British politics that was also reflected this week in the election of an ‘independent’ candidate at local elections who, like those independent Muslim candidates at the 2024 general election last year, campaigned not on issues central to Britain but instead … Gaza. What all this reflects, in other words, is how we are now heading, slowly but surely, toward a highly divisive model of sectarian politics that looks more at home in countries like Lebanon than here in Britain —politicians who are now openly putting sectarian interests ahead of our national interests.
