The End of Britain … Australia Next? A Call to Fight Back Now! By Richard Miller (Londonistan)

J.B. Shurk's piece in the American Thinker declared "Great Britain downgraded to mediocre Britain," paints a grim picture of a nation once a global powerhouse now mired in decline.

The article suggests Britain's fall—blamed on weak leadership, cultural erosion, and unchecked immigration—signals a warning for other Western nations, including Australia. If this is the end of Britain, is Australia next? The answer is yes, unless a fierce political fightback begins now to reclaim your sovereignty, identity, and prosperity.

Shurk's critique hits hard: Britain, once the heart of the British Empire, is now a shadow of itself. The article points to economic stagnation—GDP growth stalled at 0.1% in 2024 (ONS, 2025)—skyrocketing crime (up 12% since 2020, per Home Office), and a housing crisis where 1.2 million are on waiting lists (Shelter, 2025). Immigration, with net migration hitting 685,000 in 2024 (ONS), strains infrastructure, while cultural shifts—25% of Londoners born overseas (GLA, 2025)—dilute British identity. Shurk argues this "mediocrity" stems from a political class too timid to confront these issues, pandering to globalist agendas over national interest.

The evidence supports this decline. Rotherham's grooming gang scandal (1,400 victims, Jay Report, 2014) exposed authorities' fear of racism charges, while Brexit's promise of sovereignty has morphed into bureaucratic gridlock. Shurk's label of "mediocre" isn't hyperbole—it's a nation losing its edge, its pride, and its purpose.

Australia is on a similar trajectory. Net migration of 518,000 in 2024-25 (ABS, 2025) has pushed your population to 27.2 million, driving house prices to $1.5 million in Sydney and $1.2 million in Melbourne (Domain, April 2025). Infrastructure groans—Sydney's M1 delays cost $20 billion yearly (BITRE, 2025)—and 200,000 languish on public housing lists (AIHW, 2025). Crime, including knife violence up 15% in 2024 (SAPOL), reflects social strain, while 31.5% of residents are overseas-born (ABS, 2025), raising cultural cohesion concerns.

Your political elite mirror Britain's cowardice. Labor and the Coalition push immigration as economic growth, yet GDP per capita fell 1.2% since 2019 (RBA, 2025). The multicultural narrative, backed by the ABC, ignores enclaves where English is a second language and crime rises 12% in migrant-heavy areas (AFP, 2025). Like Britain, Australia risks mediocrity—losing its identity and liveability—unless you act.

The parallels are stark. Britain's decline followed decades of soft governance—open borders, suppressed free speech, and economic mismanagement. Australia's 2024 migration surge, driven by humanitarian and family reunion visas (40% of intake, DHA, 2025), echoes this, flooding you with low-skilled entrants claiming $4.2 billion in welfare (Productivity Commission, 2025). Your leaders, like Britain's, prioritise globalist ideals—net-zero targets costing $100 billion (Climate Council, 2025)—over domestic needs, while 65% of Australians want lower immigration (Lowy Institute, 2025).

Without a fightback, Australia faces Britain's fate: overcrowded cities, cultural fragmentation, and economic stagnation. The 2025 federal budget's $50 billion deficit (Treasury) signals a nation living beyond its means, much like Britain's 3% GDP debt ratio (IMF, 2025). The end is nigh unless you reverse course.

The time for a political fightback is now. Here's the plan:

1.Slash Migration: Cap net intake at 100,000 annually, prioritising skilled workers (90%) over humanitarian cases. End the visa lottery that buries you.

2.Secure Borders: Reinstate the Pacific Solution—turn back boats, deport overstays. In 2024, 3,500 illegal arrivals were detected (Border Force, 2025); zero tolerance is non-negotiable.

3.Cultural Defence: Mandate a values test for migrants, rejecting those incompatible with Australian law and heritage. Protect our identity.

4.Economic Focus: Cut wasteful spending—$10 billion on renewable subsidies (Clean Energy Council, 2025)—and invest in housing and infrastructure.

Canada's 300,000 annual intake, 60% skilled, sustains 6% unemployment and 2% growth (StatsCan, 2025). Australia can thrive with similar discipline, not Britain's complacency.

Labor, the Greens, and their corporate allies deny this crisis. They tout diversity and climate action, ignoring 68% of voters wanting tougher laws (YouGov, 2025). The media parrots this line, but the people see the strain—housing shortages, gridlock, cultural shifts. Like Britain, your elite risks sinking you into mediocrity unless challenged.

Britain's downgrade to "mediocre Britain" is a wake-up call. Australia stands at the precipice—mass immigration, weak leadership, and cultural erosion threaten your survival. Without a fierce political fightback now—capping migration, securing borders, and prioritising our people—you'll follow Britain into decline. The end isn't inevitable, but it's close. The fight starts today, or Australia's fate is sealed.

There is a story picking up steam in the United Kingdom right now about an elite commando from the Royal Marines being detained as a suspected terrorist. Was he a mole working for a foreign adversary? No. Was he using his position to undermine national security? Absolutely not.

In fact, just the opposite is true. Worried that woke D-I-E policies are creating an "unrecognizable, weak, and compromised version of the corps" by lowering performance standards for women in combat, the unidentified commando circulated a letter and petition among his peers asking for military chiefs to ditch politically correct initiatives and return the Marines to the standards of excellence critical for mission success. A thousand of his fellow commandos reportedly backed the petition, and the commando now in hot water (the suspected "terrorist") asserts that the "vast majority" of the Royal Marines feel the same way.

Instead of listening to its warriors, the Ministry of Defense (or "Defence" — remember that British spelling proves that we're two countries separated by a common language) first tried to blame the petition on "Russian bots" (how original!). Then it conducted a "full-on witch hunt," threatening Marines with imprisonment until the letter's author came forward. Once he did so, the commando was flown to London, interrogated for hours, and treated as a serious security threat.

Interrogators informed him that his concerns would "distress" female recruits, that he should be "concerned" about his career, and that he "should comply" for his own sake and that of his family. After returning to his duties, counter-terrorism officers later detained the commando in Scotland, allegedly because of his "extreme far-Right politics." That certainly smells like a government-orchestrated character assassination to me!

This incident stinks to high heaven and serves as another stark warning that the U.K. is descending into utter madness. When elite warriors express grave concerns about their country's military readiness, competent leaders remedy problems before they turn into catastrophes. They do not undermine those elite warriors by smearing their reputations and treating them as terrorists. That is a catastrophe in itself.

As the unnamed commando says, there is a "very important reason" that combat units have "high standards": to keep them "from being killed in dangerous situations when we go to war." When physical fitness and other performance standards are lowered for political reasons, warriors die and national security disintegrates. Wokeism, political correctness, and obsessions over D-I-E special treatment endanger the lives of both soldiers and the civilians they protect.

Only in the West does this nonsense take root. Our most likely enemies on future battlefields are not sabotaging their fighting forces by weakening standards and protecting the feelings of less lethal social groups. Russia is not indoctrinating its military with "trans" ideology. China is not watering down its special operations forces with unqualified but politically desirable recruits. They mean to produce exceptional warriors. And when exceptional warriors engage in combat with D-I-E pretenders, politically correct militaries lose fast.

Perhaps the U.K. wants to lose. I know this: It is a shell of its former self. The home of the Magna Carta is no longer a home for liberty or political rights. Every day, local constables harass citizens for posting unapproved opinions on social media. The British Establishment ignores the crimes of Islamic migrants but wastes no time in policing the online discussions of native Brits who point out that mass immigration is destroying their country. Rapists, drug-dealers, and murderers with foreign names and the right skin color seem to be part of a protected class. Their victims are not so fortunate.

Can a country that replaces its native population with foreigners and rejects its historic culture still be considered a country? I have my doubts. If I move enough strangers into my home, pretty soon it's not my home; it belongs to them. Eventually it is I who will be told to leave. And unlike the British Establishment that bends over backwards to welcome foreigners, once foreigners become the majority, the native British minority will not likely be treated so kindly. …

With no traditional culture, religion, or shared history binding its people, the U.K. is simply a wildly successful central bank that masquerades as a country. If only it had warriors who might save the nation. Alas, British authorities relegated them to a terrorist watchlist."
