The West can’t defend what it refuses to define. Nations like Ireland, England, Germany, and France have spent decades avoiding any clear statement of what their civic identity, cultural norms, or social expectations actually are. Without that clarity, integration becomes incoherent, political consensus collapses, and economic behaviour drifts — migrants fill essential work while a growing share of locals detach from the labour market. The real issue isn’t nostalgia or nationalism; it’s that a society with no agreed sense of itself has nothing solid to protect. Until Western nations decide what is authentically theirs — culturally, civically, and economically — they can’t expect anyone else to uphold it. Also took a look at the NI Youth Employment and one see this pattern in process: "migrants fill essential work while a growing share of locals detach from the labour market."

You bring up the essence of Truth, that is, to know oneself is to know God. When people know Christ, they discover themselves in Christ and Love begins to unveil within the heart and mind. The world in general is so lost because people do not know who they are; they cannot define their own person or purpose. Christians everywhere must not be lukewarm but on fire with the love of God. It is a daily cultivation.

Excellent article. Watching for several years from America and it sickens me.

What I can’t fathom is how the leaders of these European countries have continued to blindly encourage immigration from these 3rd world countries. And have they no foresight to see how this will negatively impact their countries in the future. What we have always recognized as the traditional unique characteristics of Ireland, England, France, Germany, etc will all be erased and a become distant memory.

There is no such thing as a powerless world. The people in the UK need to decide who will be in charge of their nation.

As in the US too many are indoctrinated to be ashamed of or even hate their own.

Such a shame in both nations. You want to destroy a country, this is how you do it.

I remember reading a Swedish website about a museum full of historic garments. And I thought, “why bother? You are filling the country with people from a different culture. They will throw these things in the trash one day.”

Blaise Pascal was right. Truth can only be known by the courageous who desire to know Truth.

Which is never the majority.

What happened is absolutely HORRIFYING. It was an attempted BEHEADING. But the media is calling it a "knife attack." Yeah. Right.

The truth is what's at stake here. Evil wins when good people stand by and do nothing. Therefore, when good people stand up, evil does not win. In this case, standing up means TELLING THE TRUTH.

More than just the protests, telling the TRUTH and getting the TRUTH OUT is what evil fears the most.

Difficult when their own gov'ts are against the natives & support the invaders . . . same as in the US.

This situation has been deliberately created by the Deep State to eventually create Civil War at that point Martial Law will be declared and one world government will be installed. The other aspect of this cultural destruction has been instigated by the West including the USA by creating unconscionable wars in these countries, which induces people to emigrate.

Bravo Sarah!

Once again you make a eloquent, forceful defense of Western/Christian culture and a damning critique of Third World barbarism. I truly hope to live to see the day all Western Europe and the U.S. begin the deportation of those who only wish to recreate their violent, failed countries in the West.

I would be willing to pay for the plane ticket to send Ilhan Omar back to Somalia.

Pope John-Paul II pleaded with the European Union to recognise Christianity as its foundation block, but they proudly refused. They are now reaping what they have sown.

As far as I know, the victim survived, but was seriously injured

The invaders carry their blades for religious reasons.

So do the defenders of Europe.

BRAVO! Citizens in ALL Western countries must hold their reps accountable; they have brought this on with no citizens' vote on it.
