The Limits of Democracy and the Spectre of Civil War


Sunday, July 21, 2024 at 2:00 PM

The United Kingdom is in the middle of immense social and political change. In the history of this country, there have always been many competing interests, and yet today’s competing interests seem to be different than those from the past. Even though there have always been small groups of malcontents, there WAS mostly a shared belief in the love of country and kingdom by the vast majority of citizens and politicians.

Today, many more groups seem determined to take down Britain AND Western Civilization, and are joining forces to make this change happen. Seemingly disparate groups like communists, Islamists, the woke, all seem to be working together. Is it the case that they share their beliefs? Or perhaps, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend?” And does it even matter if the desired outcome is the same?

It seems to be a complete and utter rejection of the “greatness” of the traditions and history of Britain and a willingness to take whatever means necessary to upend what came before.

Could these factors spark a metaphoric, or even a literal civil war? Our guest speaker will be discussing this issue and offer some solutions on how to bring a divided nation, back together again.

Join CCC Manchester for stimulating and fresh conversation and debate! We’re a friendly, welcoming bunch, and many folks even choose to stay well past 4pm to continue the discussion! Grab a drink at the bar and come upstairs for some lively, open and honest chat. All good faith opinions will be welcomed and respected. We don’t charge for our events but we do ask for a small cash donation on arrival to help pay for the room and Meetup membership.
