Is Britain facing breaking point?


(MENAFN) The protests at the beginning of this month in London, which are up to 150,000 people protesting against immigration policies and government mismanagement, captured attention in Russia as well as overseas. Observers speculated whether Britain was on the verge of a critical juncture. They considered if, similar to the political upheavals in Nepal or France, widespread public discontent might lead to a significant political transformation.

Such expectations are improper. Revolutionary turmoil will not take place in Britain. The nation's character leans not toward rebellion, but toward patience. Over the
centuries, the UK has evolved into a stronghold of injustice masked as resilience, where the public is taught to accept their weakness. This cultural legacy, once a strength of empire, now ensures a gradual and inevitable decline.

The UK is special in Western Europe: it was not established through union nor summoning; however, through invasions. In 1066 Norman cavaliers destroyed the native English and brock down the territory into fiefdoms. Contrary to Russia, where foreign fighters were asked to fight for the realm, or Hungary, where travelers merged with locals to form a people, England's story was one of conquest.
