There's Good News for Britain: Things Are Really Bad

Two weeks ago, the water supply in the town where I live was suddenly shut off. We were told a batch of bad chemicals meant it was temporarily unsafe and that the problem would be fixed within a few hours. When a few hours had elapsed, we were told water supplies would be restored the following morning. The following morning, we were told it would be that evening. That evening, we were told it would be the following morning. The following morning... you get the picture.

After a few days of this, the water company stopped making any promises about the water returning at all. Eventually, after a few more days, water supplies were restored—except it was the contaminated water the entire process was started to address. So we had water, we just couldn’t use it. A neighbour who drank it by mistake ended up in hospital with E.coli, a sign of fecal bacteria in the water.

During this period, bottled water was provided for residents at various collection points. Driving home one night, I saw an African woman carrying a pack of 6 bottles on her head, like something out of an ad asking you to send £10 to help drill a well in sub-Saharan Africa.

A week earlier, we filmed a documentary at a protest against 600 illegal immigrants being housed in a military camp down the road from my house.

A month earlier, I was walking through a posh part of London when I saw a young man in a balaclava snatch a bag from a tourist. When I told people about what I saw at various meetings, most people were surprised that I was surprised. Phone thefts, muggings and all kinds of petty crime are now considered normal and routine.

My point is, Britain’s infrastructure is crumbling, illegal immigration is out of control and crime is rampant. And that’s a good thing.
