UK retired Colonel Kemp speaks out on the "Islamification" of Europe
2026-02-14
[Breitbart] Major unrest is inevitable because "we don’t really live in a democracy" and political decisions are being made to "appease" and to avoid lesser unrest today rather than fend off greater trouble in the future, Colonel Richard Kemp has said.

A former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, retired Colonel Richard Kemp — now a prominent commentator on security and political issues — has told Israeli media his concerns about social cohesion in Europe and Britain, and the risk of civil war.

Colonel Kemp, who also fought eight years of counter-insurgency operations on British soil in Northern Ireland and had intelligence roles in Westminster and the Cabinet Office, spoke to Israeli broadcaster i24News about integration failures that allegedly saw more "British Muslims" fighting against the British Army in Afghanistan than for it.
We had a few incidents of the kind over the years, but not nearly as bad as that.
Asserting the situation has deteriorated in the 20 years since he commanded in that conflict, Colonel Kemp said: "Things have been getting worse, getting bad, for many years, and they are only going to get worse.

"No government, the government now or any prospective government of the UK, has the guts to stop it. If they want to take strong action to prevent the Islamification of the UK, it’s going to mean big trouble for them. They don’t want trouble, they look four years ahead, they will kick the can down the road to someone else."

The consequence of this "Islamification" running in tandem with political cowardice will likely be "civil war in Europe", he said. This would be "something more like Northern Ireland but on a much more intensive scale where you have the indigenous British and some of the immigrant population and the British government all on three different sides fighting against each other," the retired officer said.
