The post below with the British couple stating the reasons they’ll never return to the UK drew an interesting response. On of my readers is a resident of the Commonwealth, having abandoned the UK some time back, and he kindly sat down an wrote an überpost of his own and emailed it to me.
I asked him for permission to post it, and he asked me to remove any reference to his current location from it, but otherwise approved. As I noted, it is a bit long, so it’s below the break.

I served 26 years in the Royal Navy and am ready to serve again despite my age, but living in the US now, I see a better future. If there was to be an actual revolution in England I will be there, but most likely you are correct. Perhaps many of my fellow white Brits will become refugees that we will welcome here. Not the extreme lefties, I say let them cook in their own juices. That will be the only fun part of watching our heritage go into the rubbish bin.
Those are all good points, and basically, the British people are now defenseless, with no way to fight back regardless of what .gov does. Don’t blame him or anyone else for leaving!
Kevin provides a great in-depth examination of the subject matter that ranges of the history of the problem and an insider’s take on the current situation on the ground. Many thanks are due for such a thoughtful essay.
Here in America, our militia culture has long viewed Britain as a bellwether as to what was likely to occur here if the trend toward civilian disarmament went on. Kevin’s tour through the last century + of British gun control and the important hidden intent confirm all of our worst fears and suspicions. We knew the truth in our hearts anyway and the mostly successful campaign to keep the 2nd Amendment alive is one victory we can still point to among an ocean of failure elsewhere in the struggle to preserve individual liberty. As we watch the British people now, utterly disarmed and subject to anarcho-tyranny at the hands of traitors and foreign invaders, we can confidently predict that the American People will never allow themselves to be disarmed without a terminal struggle.
I tend to agree with Kevin’s assessment overall. It does look grim for the Brits and the hour is very late. I believe that the main hope they have remaining is that the system there , being run for and by invaders against the native people, will prove inadequate to maintain any sort of central authority in a true crisis. The invader population, now large and feeling impowered, are likely to start acting out more aggressively as things deteriorate. The large muslim numbers within this group are the most likely to break the system by their own hand, and being muslims, almost any internal or external trigger today, next week, or next year is all it will take. This goes for all of Western Europe by the way, and the same group dynamics are found where ever you look in the EU. It is unquestionably only a matter of time before the imported muslim population moves to assert itself as the dominant culture and establish islamic governance on the rump carcasses of the host nations they have invaded. This purging of people and institutions can only be violent and the only real questions are when will it happen and how well will the native populations fight back once the beheading commence?
Since we are in comparatively much better shape than the Europeans considering we are still in control of a vast private arsenal and we have made some limited progress in halting the invasion, we can probably expect to see things kick off over there before anything reaches critical mass over here. If that happens, the immigration question will become just as settled with Heritage Americans as the gun question is.
Just a note: The analysis isn’t mine. It’s from a reader who’s bailed on the UK but still lives in the Commonwealth. He’s 70 and widowed. I’m a US citizen, 63 and still married.
