A prominent academic in London has warned that the UK government is actively preparing for the break out of a civil war, but is using the “logically absurd” cover of a Russian invasion to put contingencies in place.
Pointing to remarks made in the 2025 National Security Strategy paper last month, Professor David Betz of King’s College London has suggested that the British government is using the phantom threat of a foreign attack in order to harden critical national infrastructure against sabotage.
“For the first time in many years, we have to actively prepare for the possibility of the UK homeland coming under direct threat,” the Whitehall paper noted, adding that “critical national infrastructure – including undersea cables, energy pipelines, transportation and logistics hubs” are a major target.
During a discussion with Professor Lewis Halsey, Professor Betz, a modern war expert recently stated “there is growing apprehension about the security of Britain, the security of its infrastructure specifically, and about the potential for active conflict at home in a very direct manner, effecting people in a very direct manner.”
“But that’s not external in origin, that’s internal, and that has to do with the way our society is now configured, it is highly fractured,” Betz continued, adding “Low trust, highly fractured, and highly politically factionalised which is leading us increasingly inevitably into civil conflict.”
Betz further outlined how the Russian threat is being amplified as a cover story.
“The fact of the matter is there is a great distance between us and Russia… we are not militarily threatened in a direct way on the ground by any obvious external enemy, even Russia,” Betz outlined.
“Which isn’t to say there aren’t things which Russia could do to attack the UK should they wish to, but one of those is not occupying the village green with Russian soldiers, that simply, frankly, is a rather bizarre assertion,” he contended.
“What they’re concerned about is domestic conflict, and they perfectly understand this, but that’s completely politically toxic for them to say so publicly, hence the convenience of saying ‘we need to develop… a citizen’s militia for the protection of critical infrastructure’,” Betz further noted.
“To say that we’re doing this against the potential of Russian attack, which is frankly a logically absurd proposition, but it is convenient as a pretext,” he emphasised.
Betz also recently posited that many European countries are on the verge of civil war and may already be past the point of no return.
He says his research shows there is a statistically significant chance of a civil war breaking out within five years in a major European country, with a distinct possibility that the conflict could spill over to neighbouring Nations.
Speaking to documentarian Andrew Gold, Betz further noted that it is likely too late to prevent things getting “very much worse” in Europe, and that governments may only be able to better prepare for the inevitable.
“I would probably avoid big cities. I would suggest you reduce your exposure to big cities if you are able,” Betz chillingly urged.

The worry isn’t civil war in the UK. There aren’t any seriously worrying metrics for that. The worry is that the USA insists on attacking Russia, and/or an increase in crime in the UK (saboteurs may be after copper or other high value stuff). Both scenarios are rather credible.
It was fine for academia to except the notion that the Oligarchy’s could control the masses by cultural manipulation and commerce seen in Communist control i.e. the government’s military power allows the mafia’s to run the country as long as they do not try to usurp the power of that government, but the eggheads of academia became so self absorbed with their own hierarchal hubris once again in history (Solzhenitsyn’s First Circle), but academia didn’t see the nefariousness in government that controls the pinhead Oligarch’s sneaking around them to capture their narrative because academia had been left to their own irresponsible vices of corruption and academia loves the superficial idea of ordered society where they are elite.
Society’s suck because there are only two elements, the hierarchy and serf’s, where as a citizenry that own equal parts of their Constitution (ownership of idea) accept their limitations of liberty where pure democracy (mob rule) cannot because of exponential victimhood government uses as the soft cudgel.
The idea of democracy is fine as long as everyone understands there is no equity of equality and a degree of unfairness is dependent on an established rule of law by the uncorrupted judiciary. Once the judiciary is seen as favorable to one more than another the Constitutional system cracks like the Liberty Bell because it was dropped along the way.
Gee I wonder who would want to destroy western cities & infrastructure?????
Hmmmm…..muslims maybe?????
Collapse the infrastructure which breaks the citizens (Whites) ability to communicate or get food & fuel.
Then attack the political components before the “people” are aware. They can’t react fast enough & boom!!! You have muslims in charge!!!
Or … simply outbreed the native white folk 5:1 and outvote us poor multiculti suckers 5:1 … and voila! It’s THEIR Britain now. And the BBC will be thrilled … until they’re replaced by Al Jazeera.
You see all those whimmen wearing the black tents on the streets? They’re all pregnant with their third litters.
Goodbye Britain. Goodbye Europe. It’s all over but the stonings now.
Where was the monarchy, governments and city of London banksters when the Muslim invasion started?, I would contend that they were purposely brought in to divide and conquer, diversion and distraction. There has always been a silent war with people in authority and the common person, we are told this in the Bible, when Satan tempted Jesus with ALL the kingdoms of the world, and Paul told us that we wrestle with spiritual wickedness in the places of authority, but we have the weapons to bring these strongholds down, these weapons are spiritual in nature and they are powerful, so powerful that they have brought down mighty empires without lifting a sword.
and you morons are taking advice from a back door globalist professor? he and his ilk are leading you to your nooses, compliments of the globalist muslims.
Only one side has the guns for a civil war. The governments survive. The freedom loving patriots of their own countries will be mass buried.
How about this thought? The British people want a new government that is not woke or EU! They want the ragheads out!
The Globalists WANT civil war in the UK and elsewhere in the Europe. Reason: it is their get-out-of-jail-free card. Otherwise, they are headed to prison or the gallows and they know it.
I’d pass on civil war and make war on the Globalists instead.
When getting angry, it is vitally important to direct your anger at the right target. The “elites” are expert manipulators who stir anger and divisiveness.
Nah … I’ll direct my anger at the “Newcomer” running at my 7yo daughter with a machete. Then I’ll worry about some pompous twit in Parliament
Barrack Hussein Obama –
“ We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
Just as Barrack called for a “Black Army” to defend “American Institutions” against “white supremacist domestic terrorists” … it appears the UK government wants to arm and organize your Islamic invaders to repel a civil war “started” by white, native, Brits. Or by heteronormative Putin and whatnot …
SMH
Yes. And so obvious. Even “conservative” media doesn’t talk about this and there isn’t a bigger story in human history
A thousand years ago they went to war for the same reason. It was called the Crusades, fighting back the muslim aggression that had been allowed to go on for too long.
If the majority of today’s Brits were made of the stuff of WWII-Brits, I would see a civil war being highly likely.
However, there are very few Brits today the backbone and desire to re-capture their sovereignty. Far too few.
Kill the SOBs that imported all the blacks and muslims
That would be the Globalists. See my post above or below.
The native-born population of Britain is on the verge of rebelling against the government that is allowing in a flood of foreigners, particularly Muslims. If they turned to violence, wouldn’t it be a rebellion against the government leadership rather than a civil war? If anything, it should be called a Revolutionary War rather than a Civil War.
Forget fighting each other. March on the City of London, the IMF and Bank of International Settlements. They run all of this.
SPOT ON!
