Britain is sliding into the oldest trap in the book - and the government is laying the bait.

Across towns and cities, ordinary people protesting the collapse of their communities are being met not just by police lines but by choreographed mobs of left-wing activists, under banners like 'Stand Up to Racism'; it's not a spontaneous counter-protest, it's state-sanctioned provocation.

The pattern is clear.

Locals rally outside migrant hotels to demand their closure.

Counter-demonstrators, backed by NGOs and shielded by police, descend to brand them "racist."

The two sides clash, Cameras roll, the headlines write themselves: far-right violence, public order crisis, threat to democracy.

Suddenly, the story isn't the government's betrayal over immigration - it's the need for more powers, more crackdowns, more control.

This is how you turn legitimate dissent into criminality.
