Tom Slater: A Senseless Murder in Uxbridge Demands a Reckoning on Illegal Immigration

The Brits' situation with respect to illegal immigration is even/much worse than our own:

You may have noticed… it is never the elites who pay the price for their own feckless virtue-signalling. Poor and working-class communities have borne the brunt of the small-boats crisis, simply because the hotels and rental properties are cheaper there. One analysis found that a quarter of all asylum seekers housed by the Home Office had been placed in just 10 local authorities, nine of which are among the most impoverished in the country. Illegal migration is a class issue. The bin man slain on a once-safe street is perhaps the grimmest symbol of this.
This crisis reminds us of the wisdom of the masses – and the necessity of democracy. Working-class people aren’t just as capable of deciding the fate of their nation as the establishment, they are infinitely better at it. It’s a point the Chartists would often make, when they were agitating for universal male suffrage in the 1830s. For ordinary people actually live in the society their ‘betters’ preside over from on-high. They shoulder the consequences of grand schemes and failed orthodoxies. Illegal migration is only the latest example. The people were right, the elites were wrong. Again.

And as in blue cities and states in the U.S., central to the problem is the legal onslaught against self-defense. Brits apparently can't even legally carry knives--which likely would have saved Mr. Broadhurst. This is anarcho-tyranny: the law won't help you against criminal psychopaths...but it will punish you if you fight back. Thus violent criminals constitute a de facto arm of state control, keeping the populace terrified and docile.

   So goes the theory, anyway.
