Suppose They Planned a Riot and Nobody Came

Right when I think that people couldn’t lie any more audaciously than they do, that the gaslighting couldn’t possibly get more migraine-inducing, and that maybe things aren’t quite as bad as they seem, along come the English media and government to remind me that George Orwell was an Englishman.


First, let’s all take a deep breath and center ourselves. The riots that kicked off last week in England were rooted in the fact that a nonwhite male stabbed three white girls, all under age 10, to death.


He also critically wounded several other whites. This is not a matter of dispute. It’s an established fact. Amid the torrents of anti-racist rigmarole that have drowned England since then, the fact that a black male teenager targeted a dance studio where he knew he’d find vulnerable white girls and then proceeded to slaughter them is demonstrably more intentional than the fact that Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s back for a few minutes four years ago. It’s also demonstrably more “racist” than anything displayed in last week’s white riots, which were far less “racist” than the subsequent mob attacks on indigenous Brits by dark-skinned men in black chanting “Allahu Akbar!”

Because I’m a painfully and maybe retardedly honest person, I must reiterate that last week’s riots were partially spurred on by misinformation. Someone on social media posted that the stabbing suspect in Southport had an Arabic-sounding name and had arrived on the UK’s shores only a year ago. And then there was the swarthy-looking man who was said to have been spotted with a machete near the Southport vigil last Tuesday night. He turned out to be an Englishman with a perfectly English name and had been carrying a switchblade rather than a machete. But all last week, we were harangued about how the stupid white racist yobs eagerly gobbled up this fake news so they could go and attack…well, I may have missed a few beatings, but it looked as if the majority of what they attacked were buildings, a mosque, and some migrant hotels.


En masse, the English media and governmental officials condemned the white “thugs” and said that England’s immigrant class, especially Muslims, had every right to fear for their safety.


London’s Pakistani-descended and Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan posted on X:


Now is the time to please check in on your Black [sic], Brown [sic] and minority friends, family, neighbours and colleagues.


In many parts of the country, they don’t feel safe


Phil Hutchinson, Superintendent for the Greater Manchester Police in Oldham, recorded a video message that he starts with “As-salam-alaikum.”  Hutchinson is surrounded by bearded Muslims who look as if they were holding him hostage. He mumbled something about how the police are “engaging with all communities,” but the only people surrounding him appear to be from the Muslim community.


Craig Guildford, Chief Constable of West Midlands Police, which covers the City of Birmingham, recorded a message that he starts with “Salam-alaikum.” He then starts babbling about how there’s only “one tier” of policing in his jurisdiction and that he was personally appalled by all the racism expressed by the “extreme right wing” last week.


If they were even attempting a pretense of impartiality, I must have blinked and missed it.


Again, forgive me for not having all the information in such a hopelessly complicated story, but I could find very little evidence of these roving racist white maniacs busting up anything or attempting to intimidate anyone this week. All that seems to have fizzled out over the weekend.


But on Monday in Birmingham, according to what seem to be nothing more than “rumors” that there might possibly be a “far right” demonstration somewhere in England’s second-largest city, Muslims gathered en masse and began to dole out Islamic justice. A sample tweet:


Outside Village Mosque, Bordesley Green, Birmingham, Masjid where my uncle is the imam at. The Muslims have United strongly as a brotherhood in order to defend our Masjid and the Muslim community. Try come near us white man


That whole “Try to come near us white man” thing sounds very race-specific, dunnit?


Another tweet:


#UKRiots: Muslims in Birmingham made their way to a local pub and surrounded it while shouting:


“We’re asserting dominance.”


They definitely asserted dominance when a swarm of them attacked a white man outside a Birmingham pub and left him with a lacerated liver. And the bar’s female owner demonstrated submission when she banned the white man with the lacerated liver from ever entering her pub again.


Peak narrative collapse occurred when a white reporter, Becky Johnson from Sky News, was on the scene to warn about the rumored far-right riot, only to have a masked brown man drive up on a motorcycle, flip off the camera and screech “Free Palestine!” and “Fuck the EDL!”


Birmingham Muzzies dragged a white person out of a car on Monday. They also mobbed and beat down an elderly white man outside another pub.


All of this “following rumours on social media about a potential far-right gathering, which did not take place.” What was that you were saying about misinformation potentially leading to violence?


But none of what happened in Birmingham on Monday could have prepared even my skeptical ass for the colossal mindfuck that happened on Wednesday.


There were rumors that “A number of businesses have been boarded up in Southend-on-Sea ahead of planned riots today.”


Excuse me for livin’, but I’ve never heard of a “planned riot” before. There are usually planned marches or protests that devolve into riots, but the very phrase “planned riots” struck me as mighty suspicious.


Per the Daily Mail:


 Britain is bracing for more anarchy tonight as far-Right thugs use social media and encrypted messaging apps to plan violence across the UK.


Nearly 6,000 police officers have been drafted in after a list of 39 locations where the yobs could wreak havoc – including immigration centres, refugee shelters and lawyers’ homes – emerged late last night.


Leaked messages from what appear to be far-Right Telegram channels show those involved threatening the lives of anti-racism campaigners, using sick slurs and exchanging tips on how to ‘hood up’ as they prepare for fresh demonstrations today.


But as day turned to night, the only people who seemed to show up—in the thousands—were mostly white throngs of shitlibs screeching about racism and fascism. Conspicuously missing were the “far-right racists” and the bearded Muslim Defence League types.


The British press took this as a sign that they’d scared away the cowardly hatemongers. What seems more likely is that the hatemongers either pulled off one of the slyest trolling campaigns in history…or British intelligence services ran a failed PSYOP designed to lure hatemongers into a violent trap…or some combination of the two. But if these far-right racist hatemongers had been dumb enough to plan multiple riots, at least they were smart enough not to show up.


Ricky Jones, a mulatto member of the Labour Party, was filmed at one “counter protest” surrounded by cheering white anti-fascists as he screamed that England’s “far right” are “disgusting Nazi fascists, and we need to cut their throats!”


Silly me—I thought this whole mess kicked off last Monday when a few daughters of these alleged disgusting Nazi fascists were stabbed to death.
