The evidence is that all the ingredients of a civil war here in the UK, and you've got specialists and specialists from around Europe sounding the alarm,

Um, I know, you know, from, from contacts that in America, they're looking at what happens if there's a civil war in the UK and who do we back and who do we side with?

There's like groups advising the White House talking about that.

So it is definitely one of the possible futures.

I don't think it, and I don't think it will be a civil war in the same, in the sense of a Yugoslavian civil war.

If it happens, I'm not saying it will, if it happens, I don't think it'd be Yugoslavian style civil war.

I think it will essentially be increased balkanized communities and civil strife.

And either the state will or will not get a grip on it.

And if it doesn't, then it could turn into a full-blown civil war.

I don't think it will start off as religious, at least not from – but I think it will become religious quickly.

particularly if one of the groups is a Muslim group versus some other group.

And I think that the response of that will be increased religiosity on the other side.

So if there is a civil war, I think it will be multifactional.

I don't think it will be just two groups.

I think there'll be two or three or maybe even four groups.

And certainly there will be a religious overtone to some of those groups involved in that conflict if it happens.

It is.

And, you know, I'm bemused and baffled at how the elites are not taking it more seriously.

The way that the elites think to deal with it is they just keep stamping on the reaction.

They keep trying to stamp on the response, which in a way maybe tells you who they really fear.
