This happened in March 2024 at Nando's Restaurant in Stratford, London. A university student working as a waitress - a woman with a Palestinian flag in her bio, no less - had told a Muslim family that her manager wouldn't allow a high chair to be next to their table because it was the main walkway for servers coming in and out of the kitchen.

She seated them at another table, but then the family moved again without telling the waitstaff. When she finally found them, the man smacked her over the head violently.

She immediately went to tell two police officers who were at another table ...

And they let the Muslim man walk away without even taking his info!

The man claimed the waitress "threatened" him, so the police told her it was a "he said, she said" situation.

Then, after seeing the CCTV footage and realizing the man actually walloped her in the face, she says they made excuses and told her no charges could be filed. She says their supervisors stonewalled her as well.

Like I said, this woman has criticized right-wing accounts on her X account (using "Zahra", an Arabic name, in her handle), and has a Palestinian flag in her bio. She's not trying to demean Muslims or comment on wider socio-political struggles in the UK. She just thinks violence against women is wrong.

The ethnat vs civnat debate is obsolete. The results are in. Civic nationalism by @calvinrobinson's definition holds that "it doesn't matter what race or religion you are, as long as there's a predominantly British culture that everyone subscribes to". That essentially implies a limit to the inherent absorptive capacity, and that there is, essentially, an ethnic component to civic nationalism.

So now look where we are. The Windrush generations' spokesman told us they wanted no special treatment and to simply fit in and contribute. 75 years later we have an entire race relations industry that constantly demands special treatment, and their contribution is minimal, culturally and economically.

Meanwhile, West Indian/Black culture in Britain has devolved to the status of barely housetrained, where not a single day goes by without a murder at the hands of a black individual. There is no likelihood of them integrating into British culture because British people want to get as far away from them as possible.

Then look at Muslim communities, which are increasingly separatist. They are no voting as an ethnic bloc and conducting election addresses in a foreign language. Integration is going into reverse. The Indians aren't much better. They also bring their third word tribal squabbles to our shores.

The multiculturalism as sold to us by the BBC is a fiction. Integrated minorities who accept our culture and participate as equals are the outliers. Go to any English summer event like an air show or a steam rally and you won't see BAME faces. Their history is not our history. They have no interest in it.

Muslims particularly come as colonisers rather than immigrants. Asylum seekers are freeloaders. Blacks are just a drain. I wish I didn't think this, and it would be more socially convenient if I didn't, but I simply cannot ignore the patterns. Mass immigration is turning Britain into a low trust, high crime society, and if civic nationalism ever could work, the rate of influx has fatally disrupted the demographics to the point where only radical and highly discriminatory policies could ever correct it.

As regards to Steve Laws, his position is one of graduated removals which is entirely reasonable. If we want Britain to remain a high trust functioning civilisation then we have to discriminate against cultures and practices that undermine it. That starts with the acknowledgement that third-worldism cannot be integrated, doesn't belong here, and was never wanted or needed in the first place.

If such corrective action is not taken then the situation no longer meets Calvin Robinson's "so long as there's a predominantly British culture" qualifier. As such, the debate is one of how far we should go. Steve Laws would go further than most, perhaps beyond what is necessary, but he's essentially correct, and unless we implement a regime of removals based on a citizenship classification framework, then Calvin Robinson's model of civic nationalism is living on borrowed time.

People generally prefer to stay in the safer waters of civic nationalism for social convenience, and people like Steve Laws are castigated as a buffer against being labelled far right. It's an exercise in plausible deniability. It's pretty much the same cowardice as the liberal left with just a bit more self-awareness.

The problem with ethnonationalism is that there is sometimes a drift towards white supremacy etc, but that isn't the driver of resurgent nationalism. It's a pragmatic recognition that ethnic minorities are organising politically on ethnic lines and it's to the detriment of own own survival if we don't do likewise - not least because the neoliberal establishment doesn't believe in the idea of borders and nations as homelands.

If having a homeland means anything at all it's having a say in who can settle here and on what terms. We are not obliged to admit anyone from anywhere or allow them to set up shop in our nations to replicate and perpetuate their own cultures at the expense of our own.

Peter Lynch, a 61-year-old grandfather, has died in HMP Moorland, reportedly taking his own life after being jailed for his involvement in a protest against the housing of illegal immigrants.

Lynch was sentenced to two years and eight months in August following a protest at the Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham, where tensions had risen over the government’s immigration policies. Protesters believed the voices of local citizens were being ignored as more asylum seekers were placed in their towns.

During the protest, Lynch expressed frustration at authorities and the media, holding a placard calling them “corrupt”, and yelling at officers.

His sentencing drew criticism from those who felt the punishment was harsh for what they saw as a legitimate outcry over unchecked immigration and the strain it places on local communities.

Lynch had no previous criminal record.

Even in the 80s and 90s a Brit's whole paycheck is spent by the end of the month.

I am offended they spelled "offense" wrong....
