In yet another blow to Britain’s reputation on the global stage, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has curbed state funding for its citizens seeking to enrol at UK universities, over concerns they will be radicalised by Islamists.

Welsh village erupts in fury over plans to house 70 asylum seekers in a former care home as 500 locals queue up to protest
Plans to house 70 asylum seekers next to a medical centre in the heart of a Welsh village have sparked uproar.
Police officers kept watch and patrolled Rhosllanerchrugog, near Wrexham, today as around 500 locals queued for the packed public meeting.
In the end so many people arrived that the event had to be held outdoors.
Lucy Connolly is warned she faces prison recall for resharing ‘tongue-in-cheek’ X post about Venezuela
Lucy Connolly claims she is being threatened with a return to prison after probation officers sent her a warning letter about her social media posts in recent weeks.
The former childminder from Northampton was jailed for 31 months in October 2024 for stirring up racial hatred against asylum seekers after the Southport murders.
She was released from prison last August after serving 40 per cent of her sentence and has been serving the remainder on licence under the probation service’s supervision.
Report: Migrants Make Up 80% of Train Theft Arrests in the UK
Migrants are vastly overrepresented in UK crime statistics, with new data revealing they are the suspects in 80% of all train theft arrests despite making up just 10% of the population.
Analysis from the Centre for Migration Control (CMC) shows that foreign nationals accounted for 79.3% of arrests for theft of passenger property across Britain’s transport network during 2024–2025.
Vlaardingerbroek Ban Comes Under Heavy Scrutiny But Unlikely To Be Revoked
Eva Vlaardingerbroek says her ban from entering Britain, issued just days after she criticised the state of free speech under Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, means “my point that the UK is no longer a free country has been indisputably proven.”
British woman removed from ultramarathon after Muslims threaten to behead her
A British woman has been withdrawn from an ultramarathon after receiving online threats to behead her.
Sarah Porter was 30 miles through the 108-mile Montane Winter Spine Challenger South endurance race along the Pennine Way when organisers made the decision to withdraw her because of safety concerns.
Porter was undertaking the challenge to raise money for young girls and women in Afghanistan and received death threats online, with some social media posts appearing to suggest she would be decapitated on January 11.
France announces ban on 10 British anti-migrant activists
France’s interior ministry has announced ban on 10 British anti-migrant activists who travelled to the country.
Officials said they took action after reports that members of the Raise the Colours movement had conducted anti-migrant activities in France.
On Tuesday, “territorial bans were issued against 10 British nationals, identified as activists within the movement and having carried out actions on French soil”, the interior ministry said.
In a post on X it said: “Our rule of law is non-negotiable. Violent and hate inciting tactics have no place in our territory.”
Gee France isn’t sending your unwanted 3rd World benefit seekers into a neighboring country without permission kind of hateful?
Uncovered: Secret room beneath Chinese embassy that poses threat to City
China is to build a hidden chamber alongside Britain’s most sensitive communication cables as part of a network of 208 secret rooms beneath its new London “super-embassy”, The Telegraph can reveal.
This newspaper has uncovered detailed plans for an underground complex below the vast diplomatic site in central London, which Beijing has sought to keep from public scrutiny.
Despite the apparent security risk, Sir Keir Starmer is expected to approve the embassy before a visit to China later this month, when he is due to meet Xi Jinping, the Chinese president.
Kurdish asylum seeker, 27, raped girl he met online just weeks after arriving in the UK on a small boat
An asylum seeker has been jailed for raping a teenager he met online within weeks of arriving in the country by small boat.
Kurdish national Mehmet Ogur, who was living at the Holiday Inn Express in Tamworth, forced himself on his 18-year-old victim in the grounds of Tamworth Castle.
He later sent the woman messages saying he was sorry for what he had done.
Why are teachers so obsessed with the ‘far right’?
Much has been written in recent years, and even recent days, about the threat posed to the mental wellbeing of children by malign external forces, whether it be X generating nude images of women, the misogyny spread by influencers such as Andrew Tate, or the welter of ‘misinformation’ available online. But a story at the weekend reminds us of one of the most formidable actors in this department, one that continues to warp and taint young minds: our education system.
A state-funded computer game, developed with government backing by councils in East Yorkshire, reminds teenagers they risk being referred to a counter-terrorism programme if they question mass migration. In Pathways, an interactive game designed for 11- to 18-year-old pupils and funded by Prevent, the Home Office programme designed for tackling extremism, players are directed to help their in-game characters – a white teenage boy or girl – on how to avoid being reported for ‘extreme Right-wing ideology’. Players discover the consequences of ‘engaging directly’ with posts which talk about ‘the need to take back control of our country’ and ‘the erosion of British values.’ The game also comes with material for teachers, who are urged to use the resource to ‘demonstrate the local threat picture of extreme Right-wing activities specifically.’

Britain is facing Islamic conquest: An interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali
‘IF YOU care about Britain’s future, Western civilisation, free speech, borders, Christianity and national identity,’ says Ben Habib, his conversation with Ayaan Hirsi Ali ‘goes to the heart of what is at stake – and what it will take to rescue and restore our country’. He is right.
Should you need confirmation of the remarkable woman that Ayaan is, for her courage, clarity of thought, sheer knowledge and for the lucidity of her communication, this interview provides it.
Things can only get worse: A Crowborough catch-up
AS SIR Keir Starmer slithers back into the saddle of his lacklustre leadership, there has been a deluge of messages from No 10. The sort of messages that presumably are supposed to instil a warm glow in the populace and inspire them to heave to and look forward to a sunnier future. What the circling sharks of Starmer’s own party think of his messaging remains to be seen.
Muslim Councillor in U.K. Arrested for Slavery
Slavery is condoned in Islam. Muhammad himself bought, sold, and owned slaves. And Muhammad was the Perfect Man (al-insan al-kamil) and Model of Conduct (uswa hasana) so that his own practice made slavery licit for all the Muslims who follow his example. There never was a Muslim William Wilberforce. The Arab trade in black Africans began in the first century of Islam, centuries earlier than the Atlantic slave trade of the Europeans. The Royal Navy stamped out the Arab slave trade in Africa. Slavery in Muslim countries continued after the trade itself was banned, and finally ended, under Western pressure, very late. Slavery was banned in Saudi Arabia 1962; in Yemen it was banned in stages between 1962 and 1967. In Oman, it was banned in 1970.
Islam is a creed of evil filth.
How migrants dominate the great social housing divide
FOR young professionals and working families, living in London is an increasingly distant dream. London property is among the most expensive in the world; rent alone can be £3,500 a month or more.
Given this, a social housing tenancy – owned by a local authority or housing association – can save a London renter thousands of pounds a year. Over a lifetime, the benefit is comparable to a lottery win.
The UK’s Patience With Mass Migration Is Gone
Is it possible that British citizens — and any politician who isn’t a member of the Labour Party — are finally getting fed up with mass migration from the Third World?
They’d have every right to be. Mass migration has been an unmitigated disaster for the U.K. The nation now leads in reported rapes per capita, thanks to an influx of men from countries where women aren’t equal or free. That was the excuse a lawyer gave for his Afghan client who raped a 15-year-old girl, after all, saying his client wasn’t “used to a society where women are free and deemed equal to men.”
