‘Britain Comes Last’: Patrick Christys tears into 𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳 for obsessing over Ukraine and Greenland while Britain’s borders ‘collapse’

Patrick Christys has launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister 𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳, accusing him of placing Britain last while obsessing over foreign conflicts and geopolitical grandstanding — as the UK’s own borders, communities and public services continue to unravel.

Speaking during a fiery GB News broadcast, Christys did not hold back as he dismantled what he described as Starmer’s “dangerous fixation” on international crises, including Ukraine, Greenland and Venezuela, while Britain faces what many now call a slow-motion national emergency at home.

At the heart of Christys’ fury was the government’s announcement that British forces could be deployed to Ukraine under a future peace deal — a move framed by Starmer as a moral and strategic necessity. Alongside President Zelensky and President Macron, the Prime Minister signed a declaration of intent paving the way for British, French and allied troops to operate on Ukrainian soil to secure skies, seas and rebuild Ukraine’s armed forces.

To Christys, this was not leadership — it was theatre.

“Brave British men and women are being put in harm’s way to protect someone else’s borders,” he said, “while our own borders are being treated as an optional extra.”

Foreign virtue-signalling, domestic neglect

Christys argued that Starmer’s international posturing — hugging European leaders in Paris, issuing lofty declarations about sovereignty and territorial integrity — stands in stark contrast to the reality on Britain’s southern coast.

Illegal Channel crossings are up 13 per cent compared to last year. Videos openly shared online show migrants boasting about sneaking into lorries bound for Britain. Hotels across the country are being turned into migrant accommodation, sparking protests, counter-protests and, in some cases, the closure of long-standing local businesses.

One restaurant, forced to shut after 20 years because it was attached to a migrant hotel housing more than 100 illegal arrivals, became a symbol of what Christys described as “collateral damage of government indifference.”

“How many jobs are lost?” he asked. “How many livelihoods are destroyed? And where is the urgency then?”

Yet, when it comes to Ukraine, Greenland or Venezuela, Christys said the political class “springs into action” — convening emergency coalitions, issuing joint statements, and congratulating themselves for defending borders thousands of miles away.

Greenland outrage and Trump shockwaves

The criticism intensified following breaking news from the White House that President Donald Trump and his team are actively discussing options to acquire Greenland — and are not ruling out military force.

Six European countries, including the UK, rushed to issue a joint statement insisting Greenland belongs to its people and that Arctic security must be upheld under international law.

Christys was unimpressed.

“We’re suddenly experts on the inviolability of borders,” he said. “But that’s news to me — given Europe has thrown its borders open to the Middle East and Africa for the best part of a decade.”

In his view, the political establishment’s outrage over Greenland exposes a glaring hypocrisy: fierce resistance to any perceived threat to European territory abroad, paired with indifference — or outright denial — of what many voters see as an invasion at home.

‘Coalition of the willing’ — or coalition of denial?

Christys mocked what he described as the “hug-fest” of European leaders, deriding the so-called “coalition of the willing” as performative and powerless.

He questioned whether Europe is merely posturing while real power rests elsewhere — particularly in Washington.

“Peace in Ukraine will be secured by the United States and Russia,” he argued. “Europe is standing on the sidelines saying, ‘Hey, don’t forget about us.’”

The irony, he added, is that while European leaders speak passionately about defending borders in Eastern Europe, Britain’s own territorial integrity appears to rank far lower on the priority list.

Boots on the ground — but at what cost?

A central question raised during the broadcast — and echoed by Christys — was whether Britain should ever deploy troops abroad while failing to control its own borders.

“Should you be securing the territorial integrity of another nation,” he asked, “when the territorial integrity of your own nation is not secured?”

The prospect of British soldiers being stationed in Ukraine, even in non-combat roles, carries the ever-present risk of escalation. As Christys pointed out, once boots are on the ground, the possibility of British casualties — and deeper involvement in war with Russia — becomes unavoidable.

“If they get shot,” he said bluntly, “we’re involved. Big time.”

Britain last, again

For Christys, the overarching theme was unmistakable: Britain is being asked to sacrifice — financially, militarily and socially — while its own citizens feel increasingly abandoned.

By 2030, it is estimated that 50 per cent of all new homes could be allocated to newly arrived migrants. Communities are being stretched, public services overwhelmed, and social cohesion pushed to breaking point.

Yet instead of confronting these realities, Christys argued, the political class prefers to chase international applause.

“They’ll get energised over Gaza. They’ll grandstand over Venezuela. They’ll defend Greenland with everything they’ve got,” he said. “But back here in Blighty? Silence.”

A growing disconnect

The segment struck a nerve because it reflects a wider, growing disconnect between Westminster and the public. While politicians debate global strategy and moral responsibility, many voters are asking more basic questions: Who is looking after Britain? Who is defending its borders? And why does it feel like everyone else comes first?

Christys’ attack on Starmer was not merely personal — it was emblematic of a deeper frustration with a political system that, in the eyes of many, has lost sight of its primary duty.

As Britain faces mounting pressure on housing, healthcare, policing and social cohesion, the accusation that “Britain comes last” is no longer a fringe talking point — it is becoming a mainstream fear.

And if that fear continues to grow, it may prove far more destabilising than any foreign crisis unfolding overseas.
