Islamism is destroying British democracy

Mike Freer’s decision to step down as the MP for Finchley & Golders Green – a north London constituency with a sizeable Jewish population – is yet another victory for Islamist aggressors against British liberal democracy.

In his letter to the chairman of the local party, Freer highlighted serious threats to his personal safety whilst serving as a parliamentarian. When meeting with constituents at a mosque back in 2011, he was accosted by a group of men belonging to “Muslims Against Crusades”. Freer, who is openly gay and an unapologetic supporter of Israel, had to be relocated to a locked room for protection.

Iran spies sanctioned by UK over plot to kill journalists in London

The UK has sanctioned a network of Iranian spies who plotted to assassinate two Persian-language journalists on the streets of London.

The two news presenters worked for Iran International, a TV channel based in west London that has fallen foul of the regime in Tehran.

A people-smuggler turned informant was offered $200,000 to carry out the killings, an investigation by ITV revealed last year, which found the plot had been orchestrated by members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Police wrestle ‘knifeman’ to the floor after ‘attacker threatened shoppers at Jewish grocery store in Golders Green & yelled anti-Semitic slurs’

This is the dramatic moment police today arrested a suspected knifeman after shoppers at a Jewish grocery store in London’s Golders Green were threatened in an alleged anti-Semitic incident.

Officers were called to Kay’s Supermarket on Hamilton Road following reports that an alleged knifeman was making threats to customers and shop assistants and shouting anti-Jewish slurs.

The 34-year-old entered the shop and demanded that staff answer his questions about events ‘in Palestine’, according to Campaign Against Antisemitism. The staff declined and said they didn’t want to ‘talk about politics’ at which point the man allegedly took out a knife.

British warships lack firepower to attack Houthi land targets

Britain’s warships cannot attack Houthi targets on land because they lack the firepower, in a situation described by former defence chiefs as a “scandal”.

None of the Royal Navy’s destroyers or frigates have the ability to fire missiles at targets on land, leaving the US to carry out the majority of strikes on Houthi targets with support from RAF planes based 1,500 miles away.

A British defence source said HMS Diamond, the destroyer stationed in the Red Sea, had not joined retaliatory strikes on Houthi targets because it did not have “the capability to fire to land targets”. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said it had instead been “directly involved in successfully destroying Houthi drones targeting shipping in the Red Sea”.

U.K. suspends trade negotiations with Canada, as each accuse the other of not budging

OTTAWA – The United Kingdom is hitting the brakes on trade talks with Canada after Ottawa decided to not extend two temporary measures put in place after Brexit.

London announced the pause in negotiations today, less than a month before the next round of talks towards a permanent trade deal was expected to take place.

Don’t tell me Justin was insisting on Tranny rights?

No Army for White Men: Britain’s Self-Inflicted Recruiting Crisis

In wartime, countries depend not on ideological quotas but on fighting talent.

In Britain, the obsessive drive to boost ‘diversity’ across all sectors of society has no shortage of casualties to its name. One of them is merit: talent being both rare and useful, it should be sought wherever it can be found. To make an a priori fetish of women and ethnic minorities will inevitably interfere with what should be a scrupulously evidence-based, talent-seeking process. The most recent casualty, however, is nothing less than Britain’s power to maintain itself in existence as a country.

War with Russia is coming. Britain is determined to lose

With Ukraine desperately battling to bolster its defences against an impending Russian winter offensive, and Israeli forces struggling to make headway against fanatical Hamas terrorists in Gaza, Western resolve understandably finds itself under intense scrutiny.

Vladimir Putin’s decision to launch his “special military operation” against Ukraine was motivated by a belief that the West would not mount any meaningful opposition.

Britain isn’t a free country

I’m old enough to remember when ‘it’s a free country’ was a phrase people used in conversation. It feels like it was the kind of thing they said regularly, either when someone asked permission to do something or when commenting on some particular eccentricity. Can I sit there? It’s a free country. You want to walk around dressed up as a pirate? Well, it’s a free country.

Perhaps it reflected a self-conscious British sense of themselves as freedom-loving people – which isn’t really true, or at least hasn’t been since 1914 – or maybe it was a Cold War thing. But I don’t think I’ve heard the phrase in at least 20 years, and perhaps that’s because it’s just not true anymore. If that sounds like the sort of hysteria you’d expect from a conservative commentator who’s been on the sherry, just consider a few recent cases.

Islamists are wreaking havoc in British schools

Secular education is under concerted attack from hardline Muslim activists.

Maintaining authority in the classroom is difficult at the best of times. But it’s even harder when schools are being turned into sites of political conflict. In recent years, many of these conflicts have involved Islamist activists and Muslim parents who wish to impose their cultural and political ethos on the classroom. Their aim is to refashion schools in their own image. Those who stand in the way often court the risk of being accused of Islamophobia.

 Prior to Oct 7 much was made of the alliance between Muslims and Christians fighting to keep at bay the perverts embedded in our education system.

I hate to say I told you so, but I warned at the time to be careful what you wish for.

Maybe good will yet come of the alliance. Who knows.

UK: Climate chiefs admitted net zero plan’s controversial claims based on single year of data, leading physicist says

Key committee only looked at ‘a single year of data’ when making controversial green energy claims

Britain’s climate watchdog has privately admitted that a number of its key net zero recommendations may have relied on insufficient data, it has been claimed.

Sir Chris Llewellyn Smith, who led a recent Royal Society study on future energy supply, said that the Climate Change Committee only “looked at a single year” of data showing the number of windy days in a year when it made pronouncements on the extent to which the UK could rely on wind and solar farms to meet net zero.

“They have conceded privately that that was a mistake,” Sir Chris said in a presentation seen by this newspaper. In contrast, the Royal Society review examined 37 years worth of weather data.

The heroes who helped bring down the Rochdale grooming gangs

These are the three heroes that played a crucial role in bringing down the Rochdale grooming gangs who targeted, abused and raped dozens of young girls.

Nazir Afzal, Maggie Oliver and Sara Rowbotham battled police and council bosses in order to seek justice after gangs of mainly Asian men destroyed the lives of a number of children in the Greater Manchester town between 2004 and 2012.

A new report published yesterday revealed the plight faced by the girls who were the subject of this abuse and the struggle they faced to be believed, as well as the harassment when they gave evidence against their abusers.

Rochdale grooming: authorities left girls ‘at the mercy of gangs’

Report finds Greater Manchester police and council failed vulnerable children — and 96 men still pose a risk to young girls

Girls in Rochdale were “left at the mercy” of Asian grooming gangs for years because of multiple failures by the authorities, a new report has said.

The 173-page independent report analysed child sexual exploitation in the area from 2004 to 2013, concluding there had been a “serious failure” to protect children by Greater Manchester police (GMP) and Rochdale council.

It identified at least 96 men who were still a risk to children but said it was “only a proportion” of the numbers involved in the abuse who have not been prosecuted.

Study discovers biggest cause of ‘alarming surge’ of excess deaths in UK

Last year was the most deadly non-pandemic year for excess deaths – those above the five year average – since the Second World War.

Research published tomorrow (Sunday) by scientists at Oxford University shows that while cancer and dementia deaths have fallen, deaths from heart and circulatory problems are spiralling.

This includes deaths from heart disease, heart attacks, strokes and lung clots.

Who will fight for Britain?

Pax Americana has hollowed out our sense of duty

The year I was born, one of the most famous New Wave songs of all time was released: Elvis Costello’s “Oliver’s Army”. It was written after Costello visited Northern Ireland during the Troubles. There, he described seeing “mere boys walking around in battle dress with automatic weapons” — the soldiers, often recruited from Britain’s working class, that make up the United Kingdom’s standing army.

“It is easy to be sat in Kings College London and feel that all cultures are equal, when you haven’t been anally raped at a peace festival by someone shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and held hostage.”

Scandalous Indoctrination: Inside a Kings College Counter-Terrorism Course for UK Civil Servants

… The danger of understanding terrorism with cultural relativism is that it breeds moral apathy; the kind that says ‘Who are we, mere democratic, liberal Westerners to impose our morality onto others? Who are we to say our culture is superior to others?’

These are luxury attitudes. It is easy to be sat in Kings College London and feel that all cultures are equal, when you haven’t been anally raped at a peace festival by someone shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and held hostage. In the introduction to the course, labeling an organisation as terrorist was described as a problem because it ‘implies a moral judgment’. Nothing was said about why a moral judgment might be appropriate.
