Bukele is now a verb. To ‘Bukele’ something is to fix a problem that liberals say is ‘too complicated’ by simply ignoring their long-winded excuses and just doing the obvious. It is named after the leader of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, who has turned a country that was once dubbed the murder capital of the world into one of the safest.
Meanwhile, Britain, once Europe’s most orderly nation, is mired in rape gangs, knife crime, and shoplifting. The UK doesn’t need Bukele-style mega-prisons, but it certainly needs his clarity.
The problem is that our elites in Westminster have mastered the art of inaction, cloaking their cowardice in excuses about complexity and human rights. They wring their hands over ‘systemic’ issues, treat illegal migration like an unsolvable cosmic mystery, and turn a blind eye to the mass rape of British girls in the name of diversity.
This has led to a feeling among the public that order is breaking down: our borders are wide open, women no longer feel safe going out alone at night, and shops are looted with impunity. A country that once prided itself on being high-trust is now sliding into suspicion and fear.
Ask any bloke in the pub, and they’ll tell you the obvious: stop the boats, lock up the criminals, protect the public. But for our elites, this is far too risky if it means a scathing editorial in The Guardian. It’s not resources or nuance they lack; it’s the spine to act.
