Right when I think that people couldn’t lie any more audaciously than they do, that the gaslighting couldn’t possibly get more migraine-inducing, and that maybe things aren’t quite as bad as they seem, along come the English media and government to remind me that George Orwell was an Englishman. First, let’s all take a deep breath and center ourselves. The riots that kicked off last week in England were rooted in the fact that a nonwhite male stabbed three white girls, all under age 10, to death.
He also critically wounded several other whites. This is not a matter of dispute. It’s an established fact. Amid the torrents of anti-racist rigmarole that have drowned England since then, the fact that a black male teenager targeted a dance studio where he knew he’d find vulnerable white girls and then proceeded to slaughter them is demonstrably more intentional than the fact that Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s back for a few minutes four years ago. It’s also demonstrably more “racist” than anything displayed in last week’s white riots, which were far less “racist” than the subsequent mob attacks on indigenous Brits by dark-skinned men in black chanting “Allahu Akbar!”
