There is an hilarious 1973 episode of the sitcom ‘Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em’ called ‘Have a Break, Take a Husband’. Frank and Betty Spencer, having decided to take a second honeymoon, book into a guest house in Herne Bay. Discovering they have been given a room with two single beds, Frank decides to push the two beds together to make a double. This triggers a series of incidents in which the entire room is wrecked. Each time Frank attempts to cover the damage he’s already created, he causes fresh havoc. Eventually the couple have no choice but to try to escape from the hotel via a hole in the floor and sneak away without the hotel manager, a perplexed Mr Bedford, noticing.
In one way, the actions of Frank in that episode are very similar to how successive British governments have handled the pernicious and growing influence of Islam in our society. Each time the Labour or Conservative parties realise the gradual damage that religion has caused (and IS causing) across this country, they seek to adopt measures to try to conceal it from the general public instead of tackling it head on. The British people are cast in the role of Mr Bedford, knowing full well all is not good in our little domain but prevented from seeing the full impact until it’s too late. Frank is the British political class – desperately trying to hide what he’s done from Bedford’s prying eyes. The actual damage is Islam itself.
With the exception of Margaret Thatcher in 1989, when she made it clear that publication of ‘The Satanic Verses’ would not be banned in the face of violent protests, and even responded forcefully to criticism of the UK by the, then, Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, the general rule of thumb has been that nothing must be done to upset the broad Muslim community in the UK. The latest manifestations of this submissive attitude have been twofold: The forthcoming introduction of an ‘Islamophobia’ definition, which will undoubtedly be used to silence criticism of this intolerant and misogynistic creed; and the move to recognise a state of Palestine. The latter is particularly egregious because not only is its criteria for formal recognition highly questionable in international law, it is almost certainly being done in the hope that Britain’s Muslim population will allow the rest of us to live a relatively peaceful existence for a bit longer until a new wave of demands rooted in either theological or geopolitical paradigms arise.
In short, the move to recognise a Palestinian state isn’t been progressed because this is a propitious time to do so, it’s been done under the demographic and electoral pressure applied by this alliance between Islam and the British Left. Starmer and his sorry bunch of backbenchers have done the maths, quietly realised that mass immigration and open borders have swelled the Muslim population of this land from 850,000 at the time when Thatcher defended Rushdie’s freedom of expression in 1989, to just northwards of 4 million today, and thought: ‘Maybe recognising Palestine might keep them quiet for a bit and save our seats at the next General Election’. Not a bit of it. Demographic studies have a term called ‘critical mass’. It means a tipping point where a particular group in a given society has the numbers to be able to make itself prominent in many cultural and political fields. Islam now has the numerical strength to inject its radical venom into our parliamentary democracy and, make no mistake, with Corbyn and Sultana’s new party a willing vehicle to that destination, it intends to bare its fangs well before 2029. The Labour party (and to a lesser extent the Tories) were just Leninesque useful fools with their prescriptions of ‘multiculturalism, tolerance and diversity’ as a mean to piggyback (pun absolutely intended, and no apology given for it) to this point. And what Labour MPs avoid being swallowed up by the movement of Magic Grandpa and his little female Ansar will probably get eaten alive by parties representative of the indigenous majority – totally sick of this charade going on in Britain.
It’s the same in France, in Canada, and in Germany. Mass Muslim settlements in all three countries are starting to have an effect on the geopolitical outlook of national governments alert to their own elective vulnerability. To that end, they are willing to afford recognition to a de facto entity – a significant part of which is governed by terrorists committed to the wholesale destruction of Israel. Oh, they may say that Hamas cannot play a part in the future governance of a Palestinian state but how are they going to remove Hamas from the Gaza Strip? The only way to do so with a reasonably guaranteed success rate is precisely the sort of military campaign Israel has been executing since the 7th October, 2023! The exact military campaign cowards such as Starmer now insist must significantly lessen in intensity. I am not exalting in the killing of innocent adults and children alike – far from it. But Israel is in a battle for its long-term survival. It is a survival that, in part, depends on the support and allegiance of large parts of the Western political world. Whether that support and allegiance can continue, when domestic governments have imported so many people who hate Jews in general and Israel in particular to the point where their survival in power may be dependent on such folk, is a deeply worrying prospect for those of use who are unwaveringly loyal to the necessity of a Jewish homeland.
I wouldn’t be averse to the recognition of a Palestinian state in the distant future. However, it can ONLY be when it is an entity shorn of anti-Semitic terrorists and in a world where Israel has UNIVERSAL recognition and guarantees of its sovereignty and survival. To accord recognition beforehand is not an act of innovation, or courage. It is one grounded in cowardice – a fear that doing the right thing abroad could wreak mass instability at home. There is no future for us as a nation down that route.
