The Death of Britain


“You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.”
— Winston Churchill, speech in the House of Commons, May 13, 1940

The Britain of Churchill, of Prince Hal, of Horatio Nelson and the Duke of Wellington, that Britain of old no longer exists.

We wouldn't imagine for a moment that a Greek peasant huddling in the portico of the ruins of the Acropolis has any meaningful connection with the grandeur that was ancient Athens. The British of today are huddled in the moral ruins of what once existed. The British people now have no connection to the Britain of Churchill, Prince Hal, and Admiral Nelson.

The British of today are anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, anti-democratic, and anti-American. The most popular philosopher there is Karl Marx. Christ is reviled. Christians and conservatives are generally loathed.

Contemporary exemplars of what-was-once-Britain are such human detritus as George Galloway, Ken Livingstone, and Mark Malloch-Brown.

Forget about Britain. It is gone.
