If you wonder why a clear majority of Europeans oppose their governments’ suicidal immigration policies, this case tells you everything you need to know: A gang of asylum seekers who raped a woman on Brighton beach and filmed the “predatory and callous” attack have been jailed for up to 21 years each. Abdulla Ahmadi, 26, from Iran, and Ibrahim Alshafe, an Egyptian, attacked the woman, who was “incapacitated” and “staggering

From Sky News UK, Ann Widdecombe latest: Politician killed in ‘targeted attack’, counter terror chief says. Now they tell us. Over the weekend, local police tried to dismiss the “incident” as merely a random burglary gone wrong. Sky News reports, A 28-year-old white British man remains under arrest on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, as well as on suspicion of murder, the head of counter

From the U.K. Daily Mail, Ann Widdecombe ‘murder’ suspect had communist literature at home: Terror cops believe ‘attack’ WAS political. I’m not sure why the words murder and attack are in scare quotes. Widdecombe was a former MP, MEP, and Conservative government minister. More recently, she was serving as a spokesperson for the Reform UK party. We were told that there was no hint, nothing, not a clue pointing toward

Sometimes it gets hot. Even in Northern Europe, currently in the midst of a heat wave. Many people don’t realize that London is farther north than anywhere in the contiguous U.S. It is at the same latitude as Calgary, Canada. Paris is at the same latitude as North Dakota and Montreal. So Northern Europe has not generally been home to high temperatures. Thirty-one years ago, my wife and I and

This story comes from the U.K., but it could equally well have originated here. First the facts: A video display at the National Portrait Gallery which criticised Winston Churchill, claiming he deliberately killed millions of Indians by starvation during the Second World War, has been withdrawn by the artist. This is a question of historical fact. Churchill either deliberately killed millions of people, or he didn’t. There is a vast

“Two-Tier Kier” Starmer apparently is on the way out as Britain’s Prime Minister. The London Times says he may resign on Monday: Sir Keir Starmer is under intense pressure to stand down and last night it was reported that he was preparing to set out a timetable for his departure after concluding that recent days have made his position untenable. The election of Andy Burnham, Mayor of Manchester, to Parliament

I wrote here about the attempted decapitation of a random citizen on a Belfast street by a Sudanese immigrant. The result has been predictable: riots, accompanied by indefensible violence. Josh Hammer writes: This week’s coverage has been instructive. The framing in outlet after establishment outlet has been nothing if not predictable: “anti-immigrant violence,” “far-right protesters,” “racist riots.” Northern Ireland’s first minister called the rioters “thugs” but had very little to

This is another story that is roiling the U.K.: “Billions in aid handed to terrorists and criminals.” Sounds just like us: Terrorists, hostile states and gangsters have been given more than £28bn of taxpayers’ money, including through aid payments, according to a secret government report. The Telegraph can reveal details of a dossier showing that billions of pounds went to organised crime, with millions going to Russia and Islamic State.

It seems that hardly a day goes by without the United Kingdom suffering another immigration-related disaster. This one involves a Sudanese who tried to decapitate a passer-by: A Sudanese migrant has been arrested after a barbaric video shows someone seemingly trying to behead another man in the middle of a UK street in scenes likened to “something out of a horror movie.” The horrific footage shows the blood-soaked knifeman pinning

Protests are currently going on in the U.K. over Britain’s two-tier system of criminal justice, but it turns out that the U.K. has a two-tier mental health system, too: NHS doctors are under pressure not to section psychotic black patients to avoid appearing racist. *** Nine current and former NHS psychiatrists reported being encouraged to limit the number of black patients they section under the Mental Health Act to avoid

We have been following the Henry Nowak case that his roiled Great Britain. It is only the latest of many instances of Britain’s two-tier justice system, but for whatever reason it seems to be the incident that has opened the floodgates. Yesterday JD Vance weighed in on Twitter: Vance’s comments were only incidentally about the particulars of the Nowak case, and only partly about the U.K. His point was broader–a

It has been decreed by official Britain: the unprovoked, brutal murder of Henry Nowak shall not be “politicized,” lest the wishes of Henry’s surviving family be dishonored. In practice, to avoid politicization, one must refrain from any criticizing or questioning any errors or omissions by anyone in government. How dare you. The 0nly prominent political figure to not go along with the Omerta is Reform leader Nigel Farage. For this

For years, working-class white Britons have suffered under a discriminatory system of justice in which they are second-class citizens. Left-wing British authorities have consistently had their thumbs on the scale in favor of non-white minorities, the Pakistani rape gangs being the most notorious, but by no means the only, instance. British police have come in for well-deserved criticism, as they have been more interested in arresting whites for controversial Facebook

Say his name. At the demand of the U.K. parliament, the prime minister dispatched his home secretary, the Right Honorable Shabana Mahmood, to make a statement and answer questions today. From the BBC, Home Secretary Mahmood addresses ‘horrifying’ murder of Henry Nowak in Commons I disagree with the BBC’s choice of verb. For now, official Britain is hiding behind an alleged independent watchdog investigation of the incident. The investigation may

Say his name. This young university student was murdered in England back in December. He spent his last few minutes on earth bleeding out from five stab wounds, including one to the face, while handcuffed and under arrest for “racism.” The police wouldn’t believe his repeated cries for help, “I can’t breathe,” “I’ve been stabbed,” because his killer had accused Nowak, age 18, of “racism.” Instead, police mocked Nowak in

Say his name. Nowak was a young university student murdered late one night in an inexplicable incident in the United Kingdom back in December. Compounding the tragedy 100-fold is the fact that he might have survived his wounds if not for the reverse racism demonstrated by the responding police. Nowak was murdered by one Vickrum Digwa, 23, who was convicted in court last week of the crime. Digwa is an
