Was Britain Really the Most Evil Empire in History?

Was Britain Really the Most Evil Empire in History?

The actress Jameela Jamil recently said on a podcast that the British were “the most evil people in history.” This is the type of moral judgment that has become popular in an age that is more inclined to study the past using the values of today. Such comments get claps on social media but they do not help much with understanding history. They turn hundreds of years of political, economic, and social events into a simple story of good and evil where Britain is always the bad guy. History deserves better than slogans. If the British Empire is to be judged it should be judged as a whole rather than just by looking at its mistakes alone.

Who wants to fight for Britain now?

Who wants to fight for Britain now?

Each of us, I suspect, has at least one pretty niche belief. A view so odd that its best chance of ever being revealed may be through the discreet inquiry of a pollster.

A YouGov survey has discovered just such an unusual attitude among our population. A poll of 2,300 British adults found that a mere 6 per cent would volunteer to fight for their country in the event of an ‘imminent’ invasion. An astonishing figure, even in an unpatriotic age. (A further 14 per cent said they would fight if called up, 17 per cent would refuse any order to do so, and 52 per cent declared themselves ineligible on physical grounds.)

One UK mosque attacked ‘every five days’, says British Muslim Trust

One UK mosque attacked ‘every five days’, says British Muslim Trust

One mosque is attacked in Britain every five days, according to new data released by the government’s partner for monitoring anti-Muslim hatred.

More than 70 attacks on mosques in the UK have been recorded over the past year, which include acts of intimidation, violence, property damage, harassment, anti-Muslim hate speech, online abuse and vandalism.

The British Muslim Trust warned that momentum on attacks was building and called for an urgent response from the government.


No idea how truthful this claim is, however it may be a sign of things to come.

Hmmm … Synagogue attacker’s friend ‘a committed jihadist’

Mother left ‘in constant fear’ after Bournemouth asylum seeker became ‘predatory’ then brutally beat another man in front of her 10-year-old daughter

Mother left ‘in constant fear’ after Bournemouth asylum seeker became ‘predatory’ then brutally beat another man in front of her 10-year-old daughter

A mother has spoken of living in ‘constant fear’ after a Bournemouth-based asylum seeker became ‘predatory’ then brutally beat a man in front of her 10-year-old daughter.

Jordanian national Mustafa Al Mbaidin, 29, was helping Sophie Burnett move into her new home in Southbourne, Dorset, when he hit Muhammed Al-Aseel over the head with a vodka bottle, a metal kettle and a wine glass.

Al Mbaidin, who came to Britain in 2024, had made Ms Burnett feel uncomfortable with inappropriate comments referencing her ‘good bottom,’ prompting Mr Al-Aseel to try to make his friend leave the property – only for the defendant to turn on him.

British Government Fights Order to Release Migrant Crime Data

British Government Fights Order to Release Migrant Crime Data

he British government is fighting an order to reveal how many foreign nationals were convicted of crimes in England and Wales, sparking heavy criticism, mostly from the right-wing, anti-immigration Reform UK, which has accused Labour of deliberately hiding migrant crime statistics.

The story goes back to June 2025, when the UK-based think tank Centre for Migration Control submitted a request for the figures under freedom of information laws. To protect offenders from identification, the group asked for every result below five to be suppressed. The request covers violence, sexual offences, drugs, arson, criminal damage, weapons, theft, and robbery between 2018 and 2024.

The Oxfordshire village planning to declare independence from Britain: Government plans to dump 1,250 single male asylum seekers on them

The Oxfordshire village planning to declare independence from Britain: Government plans to dump 1,250 single male asylum seekers on them

The nearest shop is three miles away and there are no amenities beyond some swings and a playing field.

Yet, apart from a pop-up traveller site, the 350 residents of the Oxfordshire village of Piddington seem pretty happy about life.

Or at least they were until they woke up three weeks ago to be told that the population will shortly be quadrupling.

Is Britain’s multicultural project unraveling?

Is Britain’s multicultural project unraveling?

A new report has found that two in five Britons believe that Muslims cannot integrate into British society, while more than half think the country’s national identity is disappearing due to “diversity”. Authored by the UK’s first counter-extremism commissioner, Sara Khan, the survey also found that over three in five people believe the “social contract” through which the public put trust in UK institutions and norms has broken down. Are we witnessing a steady unraveling of Britain’s multi-ethnic, religiously diverse democracy?

The ‘anti-racist’ rot at the heart of Britain’s police

The ‘anti-racist’ rot at the heart of Britain’s police

At 9.31 on the morning of Yom Kippur last year, a man named Jihad Al-Shamie drove his Kia Picanto into the security gates of the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, Manchester. He then got out and resumed the attack with a knife. He was wearing what looked to everyone present like a suicide belt. The first 999 call came from witnesses at the scene; it was only after firearms officers were already making their way to the synagogue that Al-Shamie himself rang emergency services to claim responsibility and pledge allegiance to Islamic State – a gesture that resolved any ambiguity about his motivation with an efficiency the subsequent police communications would struggle to match. Armed officers shot him dead within seven minutes. Melvin Cravitz, aged 66, and Adrian Daulby, 53, were killed; Daulby, it later emerged, by a round from one of the responding officers, a tragedy Greater Manchester Police handled with considerably more transparency than they managed with their characterisation of the attack itself.

Algerian caught trying to rape woman was let go by police

An Algerian who tried to rape a woman near Buckingham Palace was released by police despite being caught red-handed, a judge said.

Algerian-born Ramzi Barkat, 54, followed the lone woman out of St James’s Park, central London, in the early hours of Sept 7, 2024, Southwark Crown Court heard.

After his attempts to flirt with her were rejected, he tackled her to the ground, grabbed her wrists and “straddled” her, Judge Justin Cole said.

How can we de-programme the police?

How can we de-programme the police?

I’m not sure why I started following the photographer Alastair Hilton on X. He’s right-ish politically, so perhaps the algorithm just blew him my way. But through the rising tide of online bilge, I still seek out and enjoy Hilton’s posts, mostly because he talks about pubs and posts pictures of cold pints on hot days.

Hilton has a narrowboat on the Thames in Chiswick and seems to half live in the bars along the river, so he was extremely cross about a recent proposal to remove the tables and chairs from the riverside, especially from his local pub, the Bell and Crown. Last week he posted a video in which he said that the word on the Chiswick street is that getting rid of the outdoor seating was the sneaky pet project of a local Green party councillor, Rick Rowe, who lives Thames-side with his boyfriend and dislikes the noise – though you’d have thought a local councillor would support a struggling pub.

Pakistan sets out demands for taking back Rochdale rapist

Pakistan sets out demands for taking back Rochdale rapist

Pakistan is demanding the extradition of political dissidents from the UK if Britain wants to secure the deportation of the Rochdale grooming gang ringleader.

A senior Pakistani government official has told The Telegraph that Britain needs to “respect the issues that matter” to Pakistan rather than resort to “arm-twisting” and threats to return Shabir Ahmed, a child rapist, to Pakistan.

Ahmed, 73, was released from prison last week after serving 14 years of a 22-year sentence for 30 child rape offences. He cannot be returned to Pakistan despite being stripped of his UK citizenship.

“England, your ‘police’ are not police. They are the janissaries of your invaders.”

This comment was made in response to a video which showed some sort of sub-Saharan migrant randomly karate-kicking an English man sitting atop his bicycle, only to have the police rush in and defend the aggressor and shuffle him away to freedom. No arrests, nothing.

Florida governor rebuked by MPs for ‘you’d be speaking German’ jibe

Ron DeSantis has been accused of “belittling” Britain’s war dead after claiming the country would be speaking German if it were not for the United States.

Ministers, senior MPs and peers criticised the Florida governor over a social media post that suggested the defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War was only achieved because of the US.

Mr DeSantis was described as a “cretin” after sharing an X post about the Old Ferry Boat Inn in Cambridgeshire, and using it to make a joke about American military might.
