How Bradford Became Britain’s Cautionary Tale – Part One

In the 19th Century, the West Yorkshire mill town of Bradford was the “wool capital of the world”. Today, after decades of demographic transformation, it is sadly perhaps best known as a case study and early warning sign for practically every social pathology multicultural Britain has going. As we approach the 25th anniversary of the mill town riots of Summer 2001 – which were severe in Bradford, and which are sure to be subject to no small degree of multiculturalist revisionism – it is worth tracing some of Bradford’s forgotten history.

First, one might well ask, why it is that declining northern towns like Bradford ever became destinations for large, transplanted populations from South Asia, especially rural Kashmir.

Prof Betz is right. We are turning into a western version of “Lebanon” and the consequences will be a slo-mo civil war.

The Establishment did it deliberately.

Never forget that.

True. Lebanon. The Balkans – raped by Muslims for centuries. Let’s discuss the White Slavery enacted by Muslims and the Sex Jihad over 1400 years against Whites.

Bradfordistan.

2021 still has Whites in the majority? I guess they ignored the massive illegal population there and did some selective data categorisation to make the numbers look better than they are. Whites are a minority in too many urban areas in this country.

Great article, Laurie.

This cannot have happened by accident.

Something which seldom gets highlighted when this topic is discussed is the role the Muslim women play. It’s always the men who are out being overtly violent or behaving as sexual predators and the women are framed as passive victims. This might be the case to some extent but didn’t the nationwide Pakistani rape gang scandal demonstrate that the women were also complicit? I’m 100% convinced that the entirety of the Muslim community knew what was happening, it was common knowledge and it was condoned. All because of their racist and hostile view towards disadvantaged white girls ( some Sikh girls were also targeted ) from broken homes. Therefore, the women were culpable but I’ll bet not one of them was ever convicted. We know women are onboard with so-called ‘honour killings’ and it’s often them that perform FGM on girls. These Muslim women are not just poor, subservient, silent victims most of the time. On the contrary. They play their part and have a supportive or active role. These are not cherry-picked examples, but it’s a fact that Christian and Hindu girls in Pakistan and India have long been targeted, but not just by the male Muslims. Are people… Read more »

That is very important information. It reminds me of the news report some years ago about a young British woman in a town like Bradford who had finally escaped after being enslaved as a teenager by a Pakistani Muslim man for years, raped and forced to have 4 babies by him in succession, all of which he seized as newborns and sold to the Child Sex Slave network. She described that whenever he left the house, and she tried to escape from the room where she had been imprisoned for years (with nothing but a mattress and a chamber pot), his three Pakistani Muslim wives always stopped her like vicious guard dogs, attacking, beating and torturing her, then when he returned, she was severely beaten and tortured again, threatened with death and denied food and water until she submitted. The Muslim women are complicit, actively assisting the men in their sex crimes, and the information you provided is vitally important for people to know.

I’m sure you’re right, it is truly a grim situation.

Excellent article by Laurie.

Re the question of the Sikh girls that were abused – I read somewhere that that stopped when Sikh guys took direct action. I don’t really understand why British guys haven’t also taken similar steps.

Maybe it’s because sikhs have been living with Muslims for centuries and are used to it.

This is the latest one from a couple months ago. But doesn’t this just prove what people are saying? That it’s still ongoing. They’ve probably got fellow Pakistani family and friends being put away for historical sex crimes they’ve committed against children but even that isn’t enough to deter them. That’s how bold and deeply warped these men are, and that’s how endemic this problem is. And it’s all down to that one particular culture. And do not tell me for one second that the wives and other relatives of those six men knew nothing about this. When we say it’s cultural and that it’s an attitude thing, that goes for the women as well as the males, because all those Pakistani rapists have family that are in on it. Because as long it’s being done to the dirty ‘kafirs’, then it’s permitted and condoned. They’re all as guilty as sin; ”In an unsettling incident in Hounslow, West London, 200 members of the Sikh community gathered chanting, “Jo Bole So Nihaal, Sat Sri Akal,” to rescue a 16-year-old girl held captive by a man in his late 30s. The teenager was raped by 6 other men belonging to a Pakistani… Read more »

Well done to Laurie Wastell & the DS for this powerful article telling the truth to the public!

Another aspect was exposed years ago in Bristol, where Pakistani Muslims would be constantly on the lookout for houses to buy, offering five times their market value, with money supplied by the mosques. They would buy a house on a street at the bottom of a hill, for example, then deliberately cause as much chaos, filth, noise and hostility as possible, parking dozens of cars along the street, raucous gangs of them prowling at all hours, piling up stinking rubbish in their gardens, some even planting Leylandii all around their small gardens and letting it grow to tower-block height, in order to drive out their Indigenous Bristolian neighbours, and make the house prices plummet, so the Muslims could eventually buy all the houses, working their way up the hill until they owned the whole street.

I drove through Bradford last year. It is now a third world sh*thole.

People were warned, people ignored, these people come here to force their will, and the way this country is going, it will be the whole country soon.

Good article – I’d also highly recommend this recent piece in the Pimlico Journal.

Excellent article!! Without doubt, their aim is to take over and the bonus for them – and their female accomplices – is to earn brownie points to enter paradise. The UK Government (whoever is in power by the end of this year), needs to ban face coverings, cousin marriages and the Muslim Brotherhood then recruit more enlightened consultants from the Middle East to advise on ways of changing attitudes of those Muslims whose attitude is detrimental to British culture and values.
