Speaking at the Heritage Foundation in Washington DC, USA, on Tuesday, the UK former Home Secretary Suella Braverman said that ‘Britain could fall into the hands of Muslim fundamentalism’ and become like Iran. Agreeing, with the statement of the US Vice President JD Vance made last year, Braverman said that the UK could become an Islamist nation with nuclear weapons.
“VP J D Vance said at the National Conservative Conference, at which I also spoke in the summer here in DC, that the UK was going to be the first Islamist nation with nuclear weapons. I don’t think he was entirely joking,” Braverman said. “What happens if the UK falls into the hands of Islamic fundamentalism, our legal system gets substituted by Sharia law and our nuclear capability vests in a regime not dissimilar to that of Iran today?” She added.
Mass migration is a threat to Western civilisation: Braverman
Braverman, who was criticised for openly speaking against the grooming gangs of British Pakistani Muslim men that targeted British girls for sex crimes, termed mass migration as an existential threat to Western civilisation. “Mass migration is an existential threat to the way of life in our country and to Western civilisation”, she said.
She pointed out the possibility of the changing demography of the UK becoming a threat to the US as well. “Is it a possibility that 20 years from now, it will be the UK, not China or Russia that will emerge as the greatest strategic threat to the USA born out of a broken relationship and weak leadership?” she said.
Hailing the victory of Donald Trump in the US Presidential elections as the victory of freedom, the British MP expressed hope for a revival of freedom in the Western world. “But now thankfully the tide is beginning to turn towards freedom. If the freedom revival fails in the USA, we all lose and the loss will be irrevocable”, Braverman said. “If the USA wins, we will all have freedom. But the USA needs its allies”, she added.
Progressive thinking is losing says Braverman
Braverman termed the idea of multiculturalism promoted by the far-left ideologies as a mere ‘benefit’. She said that the ‘progressive’ thinking of the left ideologies has been rejected by the people. “The prevailing consensus of how multiculturalism was nothing but a benefit is unravelling at pace along with many far-left ideologies. Progressive thinking is losing. It is losing with the young. It is losing with the old. It is losing with the blue and white-collared workers alike,” she said.
What the US Vice President JD Vance said about the UK
In the run-up to the US Presidential election, the US Vice President JD Vance, who was then Trump’s Vice President nominee, had made the controversial remark about the UK becoming the first Islamist nation with nuclear power. Vance speaking at the National Conservatism conference said, ” I was talking with a friend recently and we were talking about, you know one of the big dangers of the world, of course, is nuclear proliferation, though, the Biden administration, of course, doesn’t care about it. And I was talking about, you know, what is the first truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon, and we were like maybe it’s Iran, you know, maybe Pakistan already kind of counts, and then we sort of finally decided maybe it’s actually the UK since Labour just took over”.
