Jihad attacks provoke “Islamophobia,” you see, so these bollards will help Britons, Muslim and non-Muslim, march together into the glorious multicultural future.
The focus is, as always, more on accustoming people to a permanent state of siege than to dealing with the root causes of jihad terror.
No official in Chester recommended any work to understand the effects of Islam’s jihad doctrine on the Muslim community. No one there seems to be pondering why these vehicular attacks happen in the first place.
Why not?
Because that in itself would be “Islamophobic.” In this war, understand the enemy has been stigmatized as “bigotry.”
“Anti-terrorism measures put in place in Chester city centre to keep Christmas shoppers safe,” by Mark Dowling, Chester Standard, November 25, 2021:
ANTI-TERRORISM safety measures are to be put in place in Chester city centre in the run-up to Christmas.
Residents and tourists visiting Chester for festive shopping and to attend the Christmas market will see the measures in place from November 26.
The bollards, which are in place in strategic locations around the city centre to prevent vehicles entering, are usually raised in the ‘up’ position between 10.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Saturday. The bollards on Bridge Street and Watergate Street usually remain ‘up’ until 8pm Monday to Sunday.
These hours will be extended from November 26 until December 22, to improve security for the crowds who enjoy coming to Chester to visit the Christmas market and city centre attractions.
It comes as armed Cheshire police officers have been deployed at various times in Chester city centre, following a similar police initiative in Cheshire Oaks.
Bollards at the Town Hall Kiosk, St John’s Street, Bridge Street, and Watergate Street will be raised in the ‘up’ position, seven days a week, from 10.30am to 10pm for the duration of this period.
The only vehicles allowed access during these hours will be for exceptional and pre-arranged circumstances. These include bridal cars attending weddings at the Grosvenor Hotel, funeral cars attending funerals at Chester Cathedral, emergency service vehicles, emergency utility works vehicles and council waste collection vehicles….

Will the bollards keep out the mozlums who wish to carry knives and stab people? Or those with axes, or other sharp instruments?
It is recognized that Christmas is a time for terror attacks…but it is **unlawful** to admit the **why** of it. Could anyone living a hundred, or two hundred years ago, imagine that this would be the case?
Mike says
just like a restraining order did you know that paper is the new bullet proof vest
somehistory says
So many have been murdered after getting a judge to issue one of those bullet proof papers against the one who murdered.
Rufolino says
At least Chester is recognising that the risk from Islamc terror exists.
mortimer says
The bollards are an accusation of guilt that points to the Islamic source of the terror. That isn’t Islamophobia; it’s reality. UK has over 20,000 jihadists identified by former leading detectives who are speaking out in their retirement.

Douglas Murray’s book should be required reading.
born saturday says
some people know it from experience, the more you appease islam the more the jihad advances and therefore with appeasment and signs there is more chances for there being a terrorist attack as islamic law and jihad is being justified to every and each jihadi or muslim as divine and therefore appeased, protected and dealt with impunity…
appeasment justifies jihad and islam and jihadis are encouraged by it…
but the appeasment will continue to encourage islam untill it reaches even more and more out of every limit and and then appeasment will change into the goal of the globalist elites in western countries and the reason they are now promoting islamic migration… military rule for everyone and deprivation of all freedoms and rights there once was in civilised west into autoritarian regimes everywhere… this is the goal of the globalists and they know well how to help jihad advance in order to achieve it….
Shawn says
Quite amazing how a man and his underlings fabricated the greatest Fable in humanity and how Billions were sucked into actually believing it.Islam has been in a sort of hiatus and the most stupid of Western leaders have given it new life.Very disheartening watching front row Islam having a new format in our Nation’s.One hopes there are many Crusaders out there willing to do what so many have had to do in the past.All these Horrors over a fib.
somehistory says
Yes, “horrors over a fib.” Lies, all of it; and has wrecked so many lives, cutting millions short.
BTeboe says
Britain has about 10 yrs before they become an Islamic state. They do not assimilate. They are the best of all peoples (outrageous lie, but then lying is what they do best) and everyone else is shit. Work harder Brits so you can support more Islamists while they kill you for being you.
Christopher Watson says
BTeboe is correct. His timing may be a few years or decades out, but he is essentially correct. The moslems have been a threat since the 800s and we have done very little to dissuade them. In the Middle Ages the coasts of Britain and Ireland were denuded of people because of the slave-seeking attacks of Middle Eastern Pirates. The founding of America was an attempt to find a route to China which avoided the Mediterranean. Later, Jefferson sent an expeditionary force, The newly founded US Navy to bomb Tunisia.
On land, before the naval engagements, there were the victories at Tours, under Charles Martel, the taking of Spain and the Hungarian victory at Vienna. But these were minor victories. It did not destroy the basic philosophy of Islam. The Spanish were crueller to the Jews than to the moslems.
Even the Crusades were a badly organised military attempt to take some moslem land in modern Israel, Syria and Egypt. The Pope and the European Kings could not plan the invasion and lost thousands of their men in the journey. They then killed many in Constantinople who were Christians.
There have only been 2 attempts in our history to completely remove philosophies from society: one was the Druid religion removed from Britain, the other was Naziism removed from Germany after WW2. Today, Druidism is followed by probably 5 people or less. The basics of Naziism are still by the Extreme Left Wing but are not followed by large numbers.
But today instead of fighting the evil ideology of Islam we are embracing it. President Bush II talked about destroying the enemies of America then immediately protected them by flying out thousands of Saudi Arabians from America. He even called it a ‘Peaceful Religion’. Bush and subsequent Presidents have allowed thousands of moslems into America to slaughter hundreds of Americans. In Europe it is even worse: we are welcoming in millions who will be a burden on our social services for decades to come. The few who complain are denigrated and called bigots. The immigrats are changing society and our way of life. Try making a joke about ‘there were 3 moslems in a Mosque…’ Because of our weakness they are making inroads into every country except very few, like Japan. There are towns and villages all over Europe which are now 100% moslem. The leaders of European countries deny this fact, but it is the truth. Try walking in Tower Hamlets in London or Saint Denis in Paris after dark. Just think how Christmas has changed in Europe; did we have bollards in Christmas Markets? Did we have armed Police patrolling everywhere? Did we have men driving SUVs at children?
tim gallagher says
I remember that Muslim mayor of London, piece of crap that he is, saying that terrorist attacks will just become a routine part of life for people in the UK, and, I would say, every other country that has been foolish enough to bring Muslims in. Keep Muslims out. This diversity that Muslims bring includes nothing good, but plenty of evil, including plenty of terrorist attacks. These bollards are showing up in plenty of cities in Australia just as they will be put up in cities all over the world to protect pedestrian malls.. It is all part of adjusting to living with potential Muslim terrorists.
mortimer says
Mayor Khan gets away with this because of the Leftard press. They would have jumped on someone who said Muslims should get used to white supremacist bombings and terror attacks because they will become routine. Imagine the outrage! But Khan is not jumped on when he says SHARIA SUPREMACIST ATTACKSS will become ‘routine’ and we should accept them as normal. Khan has made a career in court and public life defending jihadic terrorists. He thinks to blame Muslim supremacists is ‘Islamophobic’. We are not allowed to criticize Muslim terrorists, but all other supremacists may be criticized at will according to Khan and he has had vicious words for anyone who is bigoted towards Muslims, but not the bigots from the Muslim side.
To find out if comments like Khan’s are reasonable, just change the names and see what the reaction is when the shoe is on the other foot. Why did Londoners elect a man who defends jihadism from criticism? They are asking for more jihadism.
tim gallagher says
I agree with everything you say there, mortimer. I find this Khan character loathsome. My main impression from the fact that Khan is mayor of London is that London must be in big trouble, and must be well down the road to Muslim domination, if such a maggot as Khan could be elected mayor of that city. It is a very bad sign. You are right about how differently the left wing press would treat a Muslim and how they would treat a conservative white person if they made statements similar to the one Khan made.
Jim says
Muslims do not police their own people. Where are their condemnations of jihadi terror? They mostly claim they are not safe unless everyone pretends the terror has nothing to do with Islam. As long as they do not condemn the jihadis in their midst, the fanatics in mosques and cultural centers, the terror will go on, and they will insist it should never be mentioned so that they will not have to answer for it. Imagine if Americans respond to CRT by saying that the past should be kept quiet so that there will be no backlash against Americans. Well, here we are. Muslim terrorists are entitled to do what they are doing and not be criticized for it, because the good muslims might be hurt by resentment against Muslim terrorists. Why not distance themselves from Islam if they are so innocent?.
Jim J Fox says
Exactly! Peaceful Muslims are the grass in which the terrorist snakes live.
angelo says
Playing the victim is an artform the muzzies everywhere have adopted because it works in the woke West!
mortimer says
To Jim: Muslims do police their own people, but not in the way you want. It is frowned upon to criticize a fellow Muslim, even to criticize a terrorist. And many in the Muslim community are afraid of being attacked if they make such a criticism.
Muslims police the rules of Sharia supremacism and that includes not criticizing Islamic terrorists.
Bikinis not Burkas says
I call them “DIVERSITY BOLLARDS”.
OLD GUY says
Looks like we should build border walls to keep the ENEMY and migrants out of our countries rather than building bollards on our streets. But when you live in your castle with tax payer security protecting you and your family the small people don’t matter.
