According to a statement released by University College London, a team of researchers led by Simon Parfitt of University College London and London's Natural History Museum reviewed materials unearthed at the Boxgrove Paleolithic site in southern England in 1990. Among the artifacts, the scientists identified a 500,000-year-old tool made of elephant or mammoth bone. The outer layer of elephant bone would have been softer than stone, and yet harder than the bones of other animals. "Elephant bone would have been a rare but highly useful resource, and it's likely this tool was of considerable value," Parfitt said. The age of...

In a scathing column at Unherd last month, Anglican priest Giles Fraser took aim at one of the most controversial men in England: Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson. Robinson, after a recent stint in prison from November 2024 to May 2025 for contempt of court, now identifies as Christian. This was Robinson’s fifth stint in jail, mostly for activities related to his anti-Islam activism, which has defined his public life since founding the English Defence League in 2009 (he left the group in 2013, stating that it had become too extreme). Fraser’s missive was a scathing rebuke of...

Scotland Yard has stopped a Ukip march from going ahead in east London over fears of provoking the local Muslim community. The demonstration, titled "Walk With Jesus", was scheduled for January 31 in Whitechapel - long home to one of Britain's largest Islamic populations. Metropolitan Police officials said permitting the event in that location would be "reckless" given the potential for violence. Social media advertisements promoted the gathering as a "Christian march", inviting participants to worship Jesus Christ during January, which organisers described as "the month dedicated to the holy name of Jesus". Authorities confirmed the march could take place...

@Nigel_Farage My full reaction to events after a long week in (UK) politics.

A US asylum seeker has been living in Britain with free accommodation and benefits for more than a year in the first case of its kind. The man, from Las Vegas, fled to the UK claiming he was being persecuted because he is black, Jewish and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – the Mormon Church. He was put up in migrant hotels before his claim was rejected last summer. However, he has not been removed from the UK, and subsequently he was allowed to claim thousands of pounds in accommodation, food and state support....

Britain evacuated its ambassador and all consular staff from Tehran on Wednesday, closing its embassy temporarily amid escalating security concerns as Iran's government confronts what officials describe as the worst domestic unrest in the Islamic Republic's history.

Civilisational decline happens slowly at first, and then all at once. Britain has not been this weak and irrelevant on the global stage since the early 1500s; France and Germany are facing equally severe existential crises. It took Donald Trump to call our bluff, exposing our impotence and insignificance to a world we once dominated. British and European politicians cannot stop Trump from buying Greenland, or kidnapping Latin American tyrants, or taking out the Mullahs’ evil nuclear programme, or sanctioning Left-wing international judges, or doing whatever else he wants. Eighty-one years after the end of the Second World War, the...

Iran pre-Islamic revolution flag was briefly hoisted on the Iranian embassy in London. A man climbed up and tore down the Islamic republic of iran flag and replaced it with the pre 1979 revolution flag with a lion and sun

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. We now know West Midlands Police banned Jewish away fans from attending a football match in Birmingham because they feared the wrath of local armed Islamists. Then they lied and blamed the Jewish fans. It’s almost a week since the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police, Craig Guilford came before the Home Affairs Select Committee and was confronted with the evidence amassed by my tenacious colleague Nick Timothy. He obfuscated and dissembled and was humiliated and disgraced. We’re still waiting for him to resign, or be sacked by...

John Cleese has joined the growing list of voices expressing their dismay at the BBC over its coverage of the ongoing protests in Iran. The widespread civil unrest in the Islamic Republic is said to have been sparked by the country’s economic woes, which as seen inflation skyrocket to more than 42 per cent and food prices surge by 72 per cent. However, hostilities had been threatening to boil over for months prior to the latest protests against the regime’s corruption, civil rights abuses, and critical energy shortages. Despite the monumental moment in the country’s history, the UK’s national broadcaster...

Squirming Sir Keir Starmer refused to back or condemn Donald Trump's military action against Venezuela today. The Prime Minister said he was waiting to 'establish all the facts' after the US captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and flew him out of the country in an extraordinary military operation. When the BBC pressed him on whether he believed the US had broken international law, Sir Keir refused to condemn Trump's actions, reiterating that 'we need to establish the full picture'. Speaking to BBC presenter Laura Kuenssberg on Saturday, he added: 'I don't shy away from this. I've been a lifelong advocate...

An award-winning NHS nurse has been struck off after sharing anti-immigrant posts online saying that 'foreigners' who come to Britain will end up 'being your rulers'. Roberta Batchelor was stripped of her licence after a disciplinary panel concluded a series of her social media posts 'sought to cause offence to immigrants...and those of Muslim faith'. She bizarrely claimed to have been acting out of anger over the Labour government's cuts to winter fuel allowance and was 'caught up in all the unrest in the country'. It proved an ignominious end to a career spanning 40 years at University Hospitals Birmingham...

A Somalian convicted double murderer who took a prison officer hostage WON £240,000 in taxpayer-funded compensation and legal costs in the UK. They are just giving free money away to murderous Somalians in the UK.

Commentator says nation should follow U.S. model of nation-building as U.K wrestles with 'imported disintergration'LONDON: A battle over British identity and the nation's flag is just the latest issue to widen the political divide in the United Kingdom in 2025. As the Labour government continues to face growing criticism over a number of issues, from cracking down on free speech to its migration policies, many Britons are concerned about their country's future.The issue simmered over the summer amid concerns of a growing rift between the ruling elites and members of the public centered on the nation’s flag. The debate, while...

Labour’s attack on the oil and gas industry means no new wells have been drilled in the British North Sea this year, for the first time in more than half a century. Activity in UK waters has dried up as energy firms reel from the windfall tax on profits and Ed Miliband’s ban on licences for exploratory drilling in new areas. And analysis of Budget documents shows the so-called Energy Profits Levy is raising billions of pounds less than expected – leading to calls for it to be scrapped to save the industry from collapse. The levy was forecast to...

Police abandon investigations into almost four crimes every minute. There were 2,040,976 offences reported in England and Wales in the year to June where no suspect was identified – equivalent to 5,592 every single day, or 3.8 per minute. Out of the 5.3 million crimes logged by police in England and Wales in the year, 38.6 per cent were closed as 'investigation complete – no suspect identified'. The figures showed only 3 per cent of rapes reported to police led to a suspect being charged. The respective number for 'violence against the person' was 6.3 per cent, robbery 8.1 per...

The US comedian whose late-night show was briefly cancelled after pressure from Donald Trump’s government is to urge UK audiences to stand up for free speech. In a defiant alternative Christmas message on Channel 4, Jimmy Kimmel will liken the first year of Trump’s second administration to the rise of fascism. Sitting beside a cup of tea and a plate of biscuits, Kimmel will quip: “From a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year.” He is also expected to warn that press freedoms can be snuffed out quickly, and urge UK viewers to resist attacks on free speech....

Two men who swore allegiance to Islamic State have been found guilty of plotting to “kill as many Jewish people as they could”, in what detectives believe would have been the UK’s worst terror attack if it had not been thwarted. Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, were found guilty at Preston crown court on Tuesday of preparing acts of terrorism between 13 December 2023 and 9 May 2024. Jurors were told they were Islamist extremists with a “visceral dislike” of Jewish people. They planned a marauding attack in Greater Manchester, at the heart of one of Europe’s largest...
