Prepare to Welcome Boarders

Imagine if Lord Nelson had issued orders aboard HMS Victory to ‘prepare to repel boarders’, the marines mustered and they asked, ‘what with Captain?’ It strikes me that we face a similar situation here in the UK. What’s more, many of the boarders have already boarded, undetected until now, and are busy poking holes in the bottom of the ship.

Our editor has already described the problem: the Islamic threat to democracy in the UK contained in the demands by Muslim Vote issued to the Labour Party. If the demands are met, then they promise not to stand candidates against Labour ones and, with a potential 4 million Muslim voters at their disposal, the threat could imperil Keir Starmer’s plans to plunge the country into even further economic and social turmoil.

The plans include a rant about Israel and proposals that are simply unrealistic. Otherwise they demand adopting or dropping various definitions which would all be in favour of Islamic extremism, some economic proposals which presumably favour Muslims (akin to the wide array of economic privileges available to them in the Islamic paradises from whence they came), and the sinister demand to repeal the law that prevents clergy from enacting ‘spiritual influence’ from their pulpits whereby they can direct their congregations to vote for particular political parties or candidates.

The problem we have, presuming we agree that this threat needs to be countered, is that we are entering an unequal fight. Muslim Vote and all the bearded bigots they represent have an arsenal at their disposal; we enter the fray empty handed.

In the face of a threat to the foundations of our society – which has been apparent for some time in events where Islamic mobs can influence outcomes with impunity – our police and legal system seem paralysed. Films cancelled, teachers in hiding, a mother humiliated by a Sharia court when her autistic son drops a book at school are examples. Our response is to maintain ever more open borders to legal and illegal immigrants, many of whom are Muslims, and many (evident by their current actions) who do not respect our culture; the culture of the vast majority of the country.

Our official desire for a multicultural society – admittedly a pretty stupid desire – is met with contempt and the development of Islamic enclaves in many of our major cities. Those naïve enough to aspire to integration have that thrown back in their face, as more mosques are constructed in areas which are culturally dominated by Muslims.

And if we point out the problems inherent in these developments it transpires that it is all our fault. Not only do we witness a growing threat within our own society, we get an accompanying guilt trip and the threat of being labelled ‘Islamophobic’. We have Islamic scholars predicting the existing law of the land will be replaced in several European countries, including our own, by Sharia law in little over a decade.

Take a look at the recent demands by Muslim Vote and ‘Sharia’ is mentioned once in relation to pensions which all workplaces should make available. Presumably this mean pensions which are not dependent on investment and interest. Several easy answers arise, one of which is to ‘bugger off back to Shariastan’. A less rabid alternative could be that ‘you’re welcome to a non-invested pension, provided you are willing to receive a smaller pension than the rest of the workforce’. Fill your Islamic boots.

Rest assured, what starts with Sharia pensions will extend to Sharia work tribunals, Sharia trade unions funding, Sharia compliant political groups, and the pressure at a national level to implement Sharia law. Kathy Gyngell put her objections very well this week in TCW Defending Freedom:

‘As far as I am concerned that is quite definitely something to fear. This is not the Britain I want for my grandchildren.’

I imagine that most of the population, including many Muslims, do not envisage that the implementation of Sharia law in the UK would be a good thing. Many of them fled precisely that and are willing to integrate and contribute. Sadly their voice, if ever they try to express it, is drowned out by the likes of Muslim Vote.

Still, every cloud. Who knew that, in addition to Sharia law, the subjugation of women, the occasional slaughter of Jews and generally preventing people having fun, that our Muslim brothers were so committed to Net Zero? The only winner so far has been the Green Party. As with so much that we write about in these pages, it is impossible to make this stuff up. ‘Allahu Akbar!’
