Description

Talk of civil war in Britain is no longer confined to fringe online chats, now appearing in mainstream conversations, newspapers, and academic journals. A Kings College London professor, David Betz, warns of a fractured future with tens of thousands dead in just a few years, predicting three sides emerging: Muslim communities, white British groups, and a weakening state. Polls show thirty-three percent of British adults believe civil war could hit within the next decade. Experts push back, highlighting Britains strong institutions and constant community adaptation. However, a recent thinktank report labels the UK a powder keg, warning unrest could flare without action to bridge divides, leaving the nation on edge.
