# ‘Time For Another Glorious Revolution’: Ex-Chancellor’s Defection Signals UK Awakening – What It Means for 2A Patriots
In a seismic shift that’s got the British establishment quaking, former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng has bolted from the sinking Tory ship to join Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, dropping a bombshell headline: Time For Another Glorious Revolution. Kwarteng, once a key player in Liz Truss’s short-lived libertarian experiment, isn’t mincing words—he’s warning that the most civilised nation on earth is rotting from within due to the sickness of festering radical Islamism. This isn’t just a party hop; it’s a clarion call echoing the 1688 Glorious Revolution, when Brits tossed out a tyrannical monarch without a drop of blood spilled, reaffirming parliamentary supremacy and individual liberties. Fast-forward to 2024: with grooming gangs, no-go zones, and knife crime epidemics plaguing cities like Rotherham and Leicester, Kwarteng’s defection underscores a populist revolt against a feckless elite that’s prioritized open borders and cultural relativism over national survival. Reform UK, surging in polls with Farage at the helm, is channeling that rage into a platform demanding mass deportations, border controls, and a crackdown on Islamist extremism—moves that have the BBC and Labour in meltdown mode.
For the 2A community across the pond, this UK drama is a stark cautionary tale and a rallying cry. Britain’s post-Dunblane gun bans in 1997 stripped 99.9% of firearms from civilian hands, leaving law-abiding folks defenseless against the very sickness Kwarteng decries. Fast stats: UK knife crime hit 50,000 incidents last year (ONS data), with radical Islamist plots thwarted 43 times since 2013 (MI5 reports), yet self-defense? Forget it—your local bobby might confiscate your potato peeler first. Kwarteng’s wake-up call highlights the perils of unilateral disarmament: when the state fails to protect (as it did in Southport’s recent child murders amid riot-suppressed two-tier policing), armed citizens become the last line of defense. Reform’s rise mirrors Europe’s rightward lurch—think France’s National Rally or Germany’s AfD—where demographic shifts from unchecked migration fuel demands for sovereignty. Implications for American gun owners? Double down on 2A advocacy. As Farage eyes a Trump-style comeback, this Glorious Revolution 2.0 reminds us that liberty’s flame flickers brightest when the people are armed, vigilant, and unafraid to revolt against elite decay. Stateside, it’s fuel for pushing back against ATF overreach and red-flag laws—because a disarmed populace is a conquered one.
Patriots, this is popcorn-worthy politics with profound stakes. Kwarteng’s move isn’t just British theater; it’s a global signal that the pendulum is swinging back toward sanity. Stay strapped, stay informed, and keep fighting—lest we import Europe’s regrets. What say you, 2A fam? Drop your takes below.
