This flight from reality is not a new feature of political life. It is always easier to bequeath a problem to your successors than to face it yourself, and when the problem is intractable, Doublethink will soon erase it, as Hitler was erased from the thoughts of the appeasers, and the Gulag from the political map of the peaceniks. Nor are American presidents any more realistic than the rest of us. When the embassy in Tehran was invaded and United States citizens taken hostage, President Carter chose not to notice what was, certainly de facto and probably de jure, a declaration of war. That may prove to have been the costliest mistake made by America in the Middle East. Likewise, the silencing of Enoch Powell has proved more costly than any other post-war domestic policy in Britain, since it has ensured that immigration can be discussed only now, when it is too late to do anything about it or to confine it to those who come in a spirit of obedience towards the indigenous law.

ADVICE TO BRITONS:

So make them fear you. https://t.co/oDoYkhxU4l

— @instapundit (@instapundit) June 16, 2025

Honestly, I think their worst fear is an uprising by native Britons, which is why they’ve used a mixture of misinformation and intimidation to keep the response suppressed. But at this point I can imagine politicians hanging from lampposts.
