Retired colonel warns of civil war in England: "It is inevitable"
Richard Kemp, former British commander in Afghanistan and Iraq and former head of terrorism at the Joint Intelligence Committee, has warned that a civil war between native Britons, part of the immigrant population and the government is "very likely". In an interview, Kemp compares it to a Northern Ireland-style conflict but on a larger scale, with three sides pitted against each other. The statement, dated June 2026, has reignited the debate over social tension in the country.
Those who take the warning seriously point to growing polarisation and cases of community violence, such as the riots in Rotherham. However, others dismiss the retired soldier, calling him a "pub bore" and noting that a civil war requires armed groups, something they see as unlikely. There are also those who argue the conflict would not be "civil" but racial, and that the loyalty of the security forces is the key.
Kemp's warning is not an isolated one: various analysts have warned that a lack of integration and political rhetoric are cracking the social fabric. For now, British institutions deny such an extreme scenario, but the prophecy of a colonel with decades of intelligence experience cannot be dismissed with a simple "nothing will happen".
