Douglas Murray & the Fall of London

Douglas Murray, who recently published a new book, On Democracies and Death Cults, Israel and the Future of Civilization, was prevented from speaking in London to an audience mostly of Jews. You can easily substitute the United States for Britain and New York City for London.

“Well, that’s one of the things, Julia, that I take away from this is why I say I don’t recognize our country anymore. I really don’t; I don’t know why we have given in to Islamists and terrorists; I don’t know why we’ve done it. Why is it that Saturday after Saturday, people parade through the streets of London, calling for jihad, praising Hamas, praising terrorists, and clambering over and defiling our sacred war monuments?

“Why do they get to do that every Saturday? But I can’t speak in the theater on Shaftesbury Avenue to a packed theater, mainly of Jews. Why is it that if you call for violence against Jews, day after day, on the streets of London, that’s A-Okay with the Metropolitan Police? But if Jews want to congregate in central London, apparently it’s not okay, and we’ll have to retreat to another venue.

It’s not about victimhood.

“I’m not a victim here, and I’m not claiming any victimhood. I don’t believe in that. I don’t care. I’m not going to shut up. I’ll continue speaking. This is my country. London is my city, and I expect to be able to do what I want in my city. But why is it that we have Hamas supporters and all these others who defile our monuments, defile our country, hate our country, literally spit on our country week after week, but you’re not allowed to show solidarity with the Jews or with Israel?

What caused it?

“It’s a despicable situation, and it’s come about because of a generational cowardice by politicians of all parties and by the Metropolitan Police and others. I think it’s appalling, because I know one thing for sure, Julia, the people who hate the Israelis, the people who hate the Jews, the people who… we were watching at the moment, marching through central London, they hate Britain as much as they hate Israel. It’s just that Britain is first.

“We’re all going to be next. So I say, stand up in whichever way you can. And if you’re an usher in a theater, well, you know, do your darn job. It’s what you’re employed for. But the idea that we have to keep giving in and that we, that this society of all societies, Julia, we used to be a resilient society in Britain. The country we were brought up in, our parents’ generation, our grandparents’ generation, were resilient… we don’t have to show that much resilience these days, we just need to show a bit of backbone, where is it, Britain, where have you gone??

Where have you gone, United States, Europe?

The foolish British elites have done this to Britain. Starting with a complete fool like Tony Blair, PM from 1997-2007, various political figures and other British elites in the business, media and academic world have sold their country down the river to the twin evils of Islam and Leftism. Doubt me? Well then, take Islam and what I call Leftthink out of the equation here, the UK would be so much better off than it is now. No doubt.

The Reform Party will save Britain. Farga is the new Churchill. They have to survive to the next election. If not a new Churchill, then a new Lord Protector, and the Realm needs Protection more than ever in this land’s history.

They are relentless and evil…the blood of hundreds of millions of their victims, since their ‘inception’ 1400 years ago, stain the Iberian Peninsula, North Africa, the Middle East and the Sub Continent…now their tentacles are reaching back into the Ottoman Empire, Northern Europe and North America…and potential future victims, like the moronic Democrats, will fight ‘tooth and nail’ against deporting their potential ‘exterminators’…”Oh, what a wonderful world…” STUPID IS???
