Montbrial says daily riots in the migrant-dominated suburbs of French cities go largely covered up by local media.<\/p>\n<p>Political researcher Ralph Schoelhammer, however, argues Europe, and especially Britain, could expect an uprising against elites fuelled by a demand for regime change, rather than interethnic conflict.<\/p>\n<p>All agree, however, that Europe is entering a time of profound change and upheaval.<\/p>\n<p>While in Brussels, GB News&#8217; Nick Dunning learned migrants had begun crossing from Belgium to the UK and went to speak with some of those hoping to seek asylum in the West. The GB News crew were harassed and threatened by local gangs, who demanded they leave. Locals in Brussels said they no longer ventured out at night and avoided whole areas, even in the day, because of a migrant crime wave, which could reach Britain if its borders are not secured.<\/p>\n<p>#politics #immigration #freespeech #islam #eu <\/p>\n<p>By Nicholas Dunning<\/p>\n<p>00:00 \u2013 Britain \u201con the brink\u201d?
