Is it lost? Bruce Bawer thinks so. I fear he’s right.
I would add that, in refusing to recognize the root cause, and saying that the rape gangs are “Asians,” they (including Nigel Farage) are in fact being racist. That’s right, they’d rather be accused of racism than of criticizing a religion. And I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the adherents to that particular religion react violently when it is criticized.
[Sunday-afternoon update]
It’s not just Britain: Lying about Amsterdam. I agree. As someone whose sister lives in a village a few kilometers east of the city, I’ve never noticed any problems like this in the city center.

Britain was, obviously, a great country until the socialists took power after WWII. That began the Brain Drain that’s sent millions of the ‘best and brightest’ to America, Europe and across the Commonwealth.
Britain’s most valuable export over the last seventy years has been smart kids. The kids who should have become the business and political leaders are living abroad and those jobs are going to the dregs like Theresa May instead.
I read an article a while back which claimed the average IQ in Britain has dropped several points since I was a kid there. And the decline in the number of people near the high end must have been far worse.
The other problem, of course, is that there’s a first-past-the-post electoral system, which means you get a choice between two parties that can win and third parties are a waste of time. The UKIP, for example, won about 10% of the vote in the last election and got… zero seats.
Political change is much easier in most of mainland Europe because they generally have proportional representation systems, so all votes count (unless the support for a party is so small that they can’t get enough votes for a single seat).
On the plus side, if Trump keeps rounding up the pedos, we may see a large chunk of the British establishment being exposed, and open up an opportunity for Britons to take their country back. The British police seem to have a long history of protecting pedos from their victims (e.g. Cyril Smith, a long-standing left-wing MP).

And that BBC guy.
If I remember correctly, several British politicians were involved in a campaign to legalize pedophilia in the 70s. There are also a lot of unsubstantiated rumours about what Ted Heath liked to do with underage boys on his boat.
I wouldn’t be surprised if bad guys have been blackmailing pedo politicians over there for decades. ‘Vote against us, and we stop protecting you. Vote our way, and we provide you with kids.’
What’s wrong with liking riding bicycles? I certainly am a pedalphile. Is it illegal in the UK?
Michael, not funny.
Once I saw them ignore Rotherham I knew they were on the Big Slide Down.
I see one slim hope for Britain to be recovered by lawful means, if the masses learn the truth of the corruption. And that will be difficult with the major media, police, social services, and courts all colluding to cover up the crimes. Otherwise it will be down to militias and vigilance committees doing what the government won’t, against resistance from the criminal government.
Politically, Britain has many of the same problems as the US, but the swamp is, if anything, much deeper, and I don’t believe there’s any way for an outsider to take over the Tory party leadership the way Trump took over the Republicans; as far as I remember, leaders are elected by the MPs, not the people.
The only time in the last few decades that the British people have really been allowed to vote for what they want was the Brexit vote, and the swamp is now doing its best to avoid giving them what they voted for.
Absent an organized campaign for Tory voters to switch to the UKIP, I honestly don’t see any way out of this through politics. A disorganized switch just results in a Labour government, who’ll be even worse than the Tories.
Yes, party leaders are selected by the MPs and other higher-ups of their party in the UK. There are no primaries. It’s akin to the way the US was before party primaries.
Also, the party can replace the leader at any time, even when the leader is prime minister. So, like what happened to Thatcher, the party can replace the PM, no election needed.
There is no way for an outsider to have a shot. There’s not even a way for an outsider to become a member of parliament (the party selects the candidate.).
“Zuurmond singled out for concern the downtown square called Leidseplein”
The Dutch have always worried about When the Levee Breaks but they should have listened to the Immigrant Song.
Regarding lying about Amsterdam, I’ve spent time there, and the linked article is quite correct; the report is a lie. However, there is a reason; such lies serve to explain away the real problem, which lies nearby (islamic areas).
As for the UK, it’s my second home, sort of. At least, it was. My family is from there, and almost all of it still lives there. As a kid, I went over every summer, for 3 months. Since then, I visit every other year or so, usually for just a month.
I’ve seen the UK change, drastically. I can remember it in the 1980’s as a small child. I remember the 90’s very well. I’ve seen my parent’s hometown change from having one small islamic area to what it is now; mostly islamic. Take a drive around (I do not advise walking, not anymore) and you see a higher percentage of people in Islamic robes than I notice in, say, Cairo.
There are Hindus from India in the area as well, though many have gone because of not feeling safe in islamic areas. They’ve always seemed to get along just fine, and have been accepted. The problem is obviously not race, it’s cultural/religious, and that problem is islam.
But if you say that in the UK these days, expect to go to prison. Literally. That’s hate speech, which is verboten. Unless, of course, you’re a muslim holding up a “Death to all jews!” sign, then they won’t bother you (also literally true – there are several known cases).
Rotheram? Old news. There have been similar in other UK cities, but now you don’t hear much about it there. The reason is news blackouts; it’s illegal to report on, or post about online, the trials. Just ask people like Tommy Robinson, who’s currently serving a long sentence in Hill Prison for that, a sentence he’s not expected to survive (he’s anti-islam, so they put him in a mostly islamic prison, with the general population – a defacto death sentence).
Incidentally, those no-go areas Trump scandalously claims to exist? I’ve been in several, including a huge one in Birmingham.
As for not daring to even speak the name of islam? That’s classic UK – because 1984 is a classic book. It’s newspeak in action, and as Tommy Robinson and others are learning the hard way, room 101 is real as well.
And in closing, here’s an indicator of just how far they have fallen; were I not posting under a pseudonym, I would likely be refused entry to the UK for this post.
