Поножовщина в Белфасте — последняя капля?

Источник: https://nickgriffin544956.substack.com/p/belfast-stabbing-the-last-straw

Краткое содержание

Поводом для статьи послужило нападение в Белфасте: суданский (по версии автора — сомалийский) «беженец» (предположительно) совершил попытку обезглавливания белого мужчины на улице Кинард-авеню — район Нью-Лодж, один из наиболее лоялистских республиканских кварталов Западного Белфаста.

Главным событием Гриффин считает не само нападение, а последовавшую реакцию: через час после атаки несколько десятков молодых людей с лоялистского Шэнкилл-Роуд пересекли «мирную линию» и вошли в католический квартал Нью-Лодж, где их встретили как союзников. Католик, пытавшийся остановить нападавшего ударом хёрлингового шеста, был воспринят лоялистами как герой, а сама сцена солидарности описывается автором как «немыслимая» за всё время с эпохи Смуты.

Гриффин вписывает произошедшее в исторический контекст: в 1930-е годы похожее единство трудящихся-католиков и протестантов во время голодных бунтов было разрушено сектантскими провокациями. По его мнению, нынешние власти и Шинн Фейн будут стремиться повторить этот приём. Автор предупреждает, что разговоры о «всеобщей забастовке» — преувеличение, однако насилие неизбежно, поскольку жители рабочих кварталов Белфаста не верят в тезис «насилие ничего не достигает». Статья завершается призывом к самоорганизации общин — без расчёта на выборы и государство.

Значимость

Публикация фиксирует, по мнению Гриффина, исторический момент: впервые со времён 1930-х годов лоялисты и республиканцы Западного Белфаста действовали совместно против общего противника — иммиграционной политики правящей элиты. Автор рассматривает происходящее как доказательство краха «мультикультурного эксперимента» и предвещает дальнейшую турбулентность.

Belfast Stabbing - The Last Straw?

Источник: https://nickgriffin544956.substack.com/p/belfast-stabbing-the-last-straw

The attempted beheading of a white man by a Sudanese ‘refugee’ in Kinnaird Avenue (locals also say that the victim had at least one eye gouged out) has rightly shot into the headlines.

Following so closely on from the murder of Henry Nowak, the latest immigrant atrocity has brought Belfast to the brink of an explosion of righteous rage.

But the most significant development of all is the one which the usual anti-immigration ‘influencers’ are at present not even noticing, let alone reporting. This is the fact that, within an hour of the brutal attack, a large crowd of young men from the loyalist Shankill Road area crossed the ‘peace line’ between the two communities to enter the Catholic New Lodge area, where the attack took place.

The brave local man who tried to stop the psychotic Somali by smashing a hurley stick over his head was, of course a Catholic (Prods don’t play the sport, as it was created as part of the Gaelic resistance to British rule), but the fact that the Catholics welcomed the Shankill loyalists is hugely significant.

In almost all the time since the Victorian streets of West Belfast were first built, any such incursion would have been an aggressive invasion, and would have been met by extreme violence. Indeed, the worst of the Troubles were sparked by ethnic cleansing riots in West Belfast, in which Catholics and Protestants alike burnt down whole streets of each other’s homes.

An anti-immigration protest in Belfast the other year saw Irish tricolours and Union flags flown side-by-side, but that was in the city centre, which is basically neutral turf, and the attendees were self-selected for being more concerned by immigration than the old divisions.

What happened last night, however, was far more significant - and even more welcome. New Lodge is one of the most hardcore Republican areas in the whole of Northern Ireland, while the Shankill is the heart of the outnumbered and thus ultra-militant loyalist community in West Belfast.

The thought of young men from the two communities coming together, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder against a common enemy, would have been utterly unthinkable at any time in the past.

It is something which will horrify the Marxists of Sinn Fein/IRA, and will also greatly worry the Westminster traitors. The idea of the old Christian brothers’ war on the island of Ireland ending, of white men uniting to resist immigration, will appall them. As such, it is inevitable that the days and months ahead will see sectarian rhetoric and even actual provocations, all designed to revive the old divisions.

It wouldn’t, in fact, be the first time. Back in the 1930s, the extreme poverty of Catholic West Belfast led to protest riots. Initially, the men of the Protestant streets held back; it was there womenfolk who told them - in no uncertain terms - that real men wouldn’t stand and watch while other men fought to keep their children from starving. The result was joint Catholic/Protestant riots against the elite.

Faced with this threat, the rich Protestants who dominated the commerce and industry of the province pulled out all the sectarian stops, playing the ‘Orange’ card to divide the workers and break the riots and resistance.

We must hope and pray that the same stunt doesn’t work today!

So what will happen next? Talk of a ‘general strike’ is, unfortunately, excitable nonsense. The poster meme listing all the places where mass protests are going to block the traffic is equally fake, having been recycled from two years ago (it didn’t happen then either).

But there will be protests. And, since no-one in working-class Belfast believes the containment brainwashing that “violence never achieves anything”, there will be violence. Belfast today is a powder keg. That isn’t new. What is new is that, if it blows, the trouble will not be over religious differences and the old sectarian division. It will be directed against the liberal politicians and their ‘multicultural experiment’.

Truth is, that experiment has failed as miserably as I - and others - told them it would. They should reverse it immediately, before it blows up in their faces on a horrifying scale. But, of course, they won’t. Politicians and elections are there to help the real Powers That Be to give the public the illusion of choice, to contain trouble and to manage decline.

If you put your trust in them, you will not merely be disappointed, you will also be wasting time - time we do not have. Trouble is coming, and the only thing which will make a blind bit of difference to your local community is the extent to which it is organised to defend its security and rights and fend for itself when the authorities lose control.

We are entering very turbulent times, times which really will make History. Resolve to be a part of it, not by talking about elections online, but by doing ‘In Real Life’ work on the streets. Our streets!
