A world apart

Every week, UK news headlines show a nation more and more divided. Britain is, quite literally, on the brink of war.

It comes in two parts:

Racially
Muslim extremists and the role of ISIS (who seem to claim everything as part of their terror campaign) have developed a huge distrust of Muslims. The peaceful Muslims are branded the same as the extremists - after all, how can you tell them apart?

Civilised British citizens (including Muslims) don't want terrorism as part of their culture. But it has got to the stage where people will - or have already - start taking 'justice' into their own hands. Acts of terror will be committed by any vigilante:
- Angered Muslim extremists, because their version of sharia law isn't being followed by the British justice department;
- Angered white British citizens, because they don't feel the police are doing their jobs and because they feel the government 'policies' on immigration are too soft.

Politically
It's no surprise that news stories often get polluted with political bias, but recently it has become rather strong. Jeremy Corbyn, probably annoyed at not having won the general election, recommended Theresa May to resign after the election wasn't as strong in her favour as she expected (note: it was much more in favour of her than of Corbyn), and then blasts the government over failures regarding the Grenfell Tower incident.

Government parties seem forever pulling each other down, rather than working together for a better Britain. Even within parties, there are certain individuals wanting to make a power play.


The nation is divided. 'Tolerance' is only for the few who stay out of the way. There is already civil unrest. People respond with exaggerated reactions. Unless big changes come, there will be war.
