I was born in Northern Ireland and have lived here most of my life. I understand the local political scene as well as anyone here and know from personal experience that there is a nasty sectarian dimension to it. This was underpinned by years of terrorism and thousands of lives were lost. The question I am asking you is this; Is England about to enter a similar phase where the divide is between Islam and the Rest and civil unrest is the consequence?
Just consider the actions of the Green Party and the Labour Party in the Gorton and Denton by-election. I am sure that you will have seen some of Green candidate Hannah Spencer’s bizarre video appeals directly to Muslim voters, first in URDU and then she did it in Bengali.
This is naked tribalism and she is going out of her way to talk to people – in Manchester – who don’t speak or understand English. She knows that there is a large chunk of Muslim voters in the Gorton part of this constituency and she wants their votes. She has also genuflected that she cares deeply about Gaza, so she is fully captured. And she may win.
Keir Starmer visited the Constituency the other day in a desperate push to try and retain what was seen as a rock solid Labour seat. Whether he succeeds or not we will see on Friday but he did make the following claim;
Where will the “hostility” come from, Prime Minister? Who exactly will be pushing it? Are you claiming that muslims and radical leftists in this constituency will not accept the democratic will of the local people, should it go against them? If so, does this logic apply to every constituency what refuses to grovel to the dogmas of local muslims? If so, doesn’t that sound like a road to conflict?
Maybe that is the truth? Maybe we now have enclaves embedded in many English cities and towns where a significant % of the population will not accept democracy if it goes against them? Would the election of a Reform Government in 2029 trigger another English Civil War? If it does, we need a Cromwell.
