Can the centre hold?
Another attack, another crime and even more denial
I saw the news of the Berlin attack yesterday before bed like I have so many times before. It saddened but it no longer surprised me. That is where we are now – these things have become common place. After so long it is predictable, but it is also enraging that we have become used to such atrocities.
This is especially true if you are on Twitter or other social media platforms and swim in the right seas. You see daily the crimes like this big and small, from attacks on people on trains, to knifings, to rapes and more. That is why it is confusing when you speak to normies who only consume the mainstream media.
They live in a bubble created by said media which does not talk about most of the crimes, and they certainly do not make any effort to link them in anyway. No, they happily pick and choose and only discuss the largest and even then, they attempt to finesse the information given out to obfuscate reality.
Look at this very crime – the blood was barely dry before the BBC was out claiming the apprehended suspect was on the edges of Islamist groups or similar. You know he was not really in them but he just kind of hung out with some pseudo terrorists. A German media network went as far as to claim that German gays are far more worried about the far right than of Islamists though no evidence was provided to support this claim.
The media already trying to downplay the reality which is this is another horror perpetrated by Muslims which in due course will almost certainly involve fresh or second-generation migrants. There are many who have already shrieked racist at me for saying this, but it is almost certainly the truth.
Like so many before and at this rate like so many others to come people have paid with their lives because the West is governed by people who simply refuse to see the statistical and factual truth in front of their eyes as it effectively destroys their worldview.
For once you accept that there is a link between migration and crime big and small it kills the idea that all humans are the same once they step over those national lines on a map. It also kills the belief that everyone can be as a German, French, British etc as you and me. That is not say people can’t, but it is a lot more complex than the Kumbaya liberals who have governed Europe for decades.
This denial of reality means that it is the public that continues to pay the price in terms of lives ruined from the myriads of crimes many of which end in the loss of loved ones. Leaving grieving families of those cut down or must live with the physical and mental scars left behind from what was done to them.
Again, this is not being racist or xenophobic this is just stating facts and yet today the internet is littered with people who just won’t admit it. You see liberal gays across the board talking about homophobia, but they won’t utter a word about migration or Islam and yet the connection is so clear with even the German authorities talking about it.
The response from the liberal blob even now is to ignore, deflect and try and move on. You can see it in the number of MPs who are tweeting about the attack and yet none are willing to discuss these facts. I suppose many are waiting for more information, but you know they will never say anything further once everything comes out.
No, they will hide away like they always do and hope that the problem dies down for a little while longer and if people must suffer well so be it. They will play their normal games of trying to police language rather than engaging with reality – makes sense when your worldview and your voting bloc is in the crosshairs.
I just don’t think it will work anymore as too many people are now impacted on a near daily basis both in terms of crime and social damage but also because less and less people believe the media because what they push no longer seems to map to their lived experiences.
I mean it is easy enough if you live in some nice monocultural enclave or a filthy rich area to pretend that all is well. This is especially true if you continue to sup on the mainstream media like it is presenting the truth. But for the rest of us who live, work, travel around this country and continent we can see all is not well.
I mean just look at this data from Denmark – look at the statistical differences in terms of violent crime. You are not talking about a small difference you are talking about massive ones which as our cretinous elites continue to import more and more of these people means we will suffer ever more of it.
The ones for rapes are little better with a report in Sweden reporting that 63.1% of all those convicted of rape were of a migrant background. The stats are little better where they are released and this remains the biggest challenge as in many countries the authorities actively do not collect the data or fight its release. This is ongoing within Britain where the current Labour government is legally fighting to keep migrant crime data by nationality / ethnicity from being published.
I pause here to ask a rhetorical question – why would the state refuse to collect useful data like this and where it has refuse to release it? I don’t think it takes a generational genius to work that out though I am sure there are plenty who will list good reasons why this data should be kept away from the public who may come to certain conclusions about mass migration.
This is not a new thing by the way as the Pakistani rape gangs were covered up by the British state for decades with the police failing to record relevant data. This was confirmed by the Jay Report (2014), the Casey Inspection (2015), and the Casey Grooming Gangs Audit (2025) which said that the police systematically failed to record and address the perpetrators ethnicity.
The reviewers of course make a good fist of not blaming the police but again I would ask a rhetorical question – if most people charged with a certain crime come from one community would not this not be considered a clue? I know in the 80’s if you went through the airports with an Irish accent, you were more likely to be stopped for a very good reason.
This desperate urge to cover up the blindingly obvious is not unique to Britain by the way. The 2015–2016 New Year’s Eve sexual attacks in Germany is another good example of how the state attempted to cover up crimes of migrants. In this case the sexual assault of approximately 1200 women by mostly north African migrant gangs – there are plenty more examples out there.
Another way the state and elites like to obfuscate things is to try and balance every statement. You know we have all seen them do this time in and time out. Islamic attack “Oh but the far fight is awful as well”. There is in fact no comparison in Britain where 95% of all terrorist victims in the last 20 years and some 75% of all MI5s case load are Islamic related and don’t forget that includes the IRA and more who have not fully gone away.
In Britain, Germany, France and more reality is becoming harder for states to hide as the sheer number of crimes mean that more and more people are putting two and two together. My wife does not like going into London late now due to the hassle she gets from certain Asian gangs and the train she takes home had a sexual assault on by a migrant recently and we live in a very well-heeled Surrey market town.
Politicians need to start talking about this as do certain communities as this is now morphing into a political and state legitimacy crisis. When people see awful things happening day in day out and see a political class and state that refuses to even admit the link let alone address the crisis it collapses trust and we are there now.
My wife is French and civil war has always been a quietly discussed subject though I have always put it down to the sheer pessimism for which the country is renowned for. However, when even friends in Paris who work in hedge funds are discussing it, I take note especially when you spend time talking about clean units in the military like we did last year.
What is interesting is that this discussion has leaped the channel and apparently even the border as now I see the same debates happening here and even in Germany. This is what happens when people lose trust in the state to even tell the truth let alone respond forcefully to the continuing collapse of civil security which this continent has been blessed with since World War 2.
This is going hand in hand with a collapse in the national community as people no longer see themselves as British, German or French. You are instead seeing the emergence of them and us depending upon the group. Some are taking an ethno-centric view on this which I loathe whilst others are discussing cultural groups.
Fear of the other is sadly becoming the norm as states fail to protect borders, police the streets but also even now seem incapable of doing anything except backing minorities against native majorities. It is almost like after laying down the tinder for decades which could engulf their countries elites are now itching to spark the flame to start the process.
When you consider the riots that are now the norm whenever there is an incident in Britain, the growth of the AfD which is a borderline far-right party in Germany and more across this continent you would think that the clever people in charge would be desperate to change direction and try and head this off but they really do not appear keen to change tack.
I am not sure if it is arrogance or stupidity, but they are aware of the danger. Numerous media sources in Britain have reported that state security services are terrified over what will happen should things kick off. In France in 2021 a letter was published in the media by former and serving senior military / security officers about the risk of civil unrest / war. The French and British security apparatuses are surely not alone in highlighting the collapse of trust, social bonds and state capacity to contain unrest across Western Europe.
Either the current establishments do something to secure each nation, or they will be replaced by those that will. This will either happen peacefully via a democratic transition or because there is a violent one which will force change. With establishment forces fighting anything even vaguely radical I question more and more whether the former is likely let alone possible leaving just the latter.
I hope not as I think the longer this goes on the more unpleasant the resolution will be. Humans by themselves are normally sane, intelligent and logical. However, put into mobs and they are prone to be violent, extreme and utterly irrational. No one should wish to see forces like that unleashed onto our streets with all the horrors they will bring and the damage they will do our countries.
I am left hoping that change comes soon before people become too cynical about democracy. For once that happens, we truly are on the count down to something unpleasant. I remain a fierce supporter of democracy however even my patience is being tested now for those in charge just seem to live in denial about where we are. We can only pray that the centre holds for a little while longer – it is all we can do.





I am increasingly pessimistic, particularly after just watching another Peter Hitchens video. I get it that nothing seems to be going in the right direction but I am neither a politician, nor an economist, nor a historian, so I understand that I have a somewhat limited understanding of the big picture and the forces that shape civilisations. My take is purely personal but as we await the birth of our first grandchild I cannot see that we are delivering the promise of providing a better world for our children. I hope I am wrong but see no signs.
The AFD are hardly borderline far right, the leader is a lesbian with a Sri-Lankan girlfriend, they are civic nationalists, civic nationalism by its very definition is leftism.
