British police have been accused of a 'dystopian' attack on free speech after an American woman was threatened with investigation - over her posts online. Footage of the encounter has been seen more 1.3million times since it was posted last night and has sparked a furious response from campaigners. It shows a woman, named as American cancer patient and Donald Trump supporter Deborah Anderson, being confronted in her home by Thames Valley Police.

Trump lands in the UK for second state visit.

One of the key conditions that King’s College professor David Betz says leads to civil war: an elite radically disconnected from the masses. Civil war is coming,” David Betz told a Budapest audience on Thursday night. And later: “Sorry, but I don’t think there is a peaceful solution at this time.” Betz should know. The professor is head of the war studies department at King’s College London and is an academic expert in civil war. For years he has been writing that all the conditions for civil war to break out have been met in most Western countries; all that...

On Saturday, the beleaguered British people, tired of abuse from their own government, rose up in peaceful, patriotic protest on a never-before-seen scale. Something fundamental shifted in Britain on September 13, 2025. In the heart of London, a sea of flags unfurled and hundreds of thousands...no, millions of ordinary men and women marched together for an idea: That Britain must remain Britain, that its borders must be defended, and that its culture, heritage, and people deserve respect. Or else.Naturally, the mainstream press dutifully downplayed the numbers, claiming “just” 110,000 to 150,000 attended. But I was there, and I can assure...

Conservative MP Danny Kruger has become the first sitting Conservative MP to defect to Reform UK. Kruger has been an MP since 2019, and sits on Tory leader Kemi Badenoch's team as a shadow work and pensions minister. "The Conservatives are over," he told a press conference, sitting alongside Reform party leader Nigel Farage. Kruger said he had been "honoured" to be asked to help Reform prepare for government, and said he hoped that Farage would be the next prime minister. The East Wiltshire MP - a former political secretary to Boris Johnson when he was prime minister - said...

Elon Musk appears via video feed at Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom Rally in London: Elon Musk Appears at Unite the Kingdom Rally

Well before the march started, thousands of people flowed over Blackfriars bridge, or came up from Waterloo station, flags everywhere, hailing from everywhere - from Yorkshire roses to the diamond of the Isle of Wight. What exactly it was that "United the Kingdom" was left vague, for people to cheer their own particular cause. This was billed as a free speech rally and the most common chants we heard were "Keir Starmer's a *******", "oh Tommy Tommy" and "we want our country back". That means different things to different people. Dawn, up from Southampton and wearing a red sequined jacket,...

A Lancashire councillor who posted that the assassination of right-wing US political activist Charlie Kirk was "good riddance" has resigned. Fiona Wild, who represented Lanehead ward as an independent on Burnley Council, has since deleted the post which also said the "not... very nice man made himself a target and brought this on himself". Kirk was one of America's most high-profile conservative media personalities and a trusted ally of President Donald Trump. The 31-year-old was shot at a college in Utah on Wednesday. Burnley Council confirmed Wild's resignation, said it "does not condone the comments" and confirmed it was investigating...

Spiritual truth before government policy. We have to seek and embrace spiritual truth while we avoid spiritual confusion, and expose and reject spiritual deception. Gospel truth and principles before social, political, and economic theories that are used to develop government policy. Some people will reject this and say that I am proposing to create a theocracy, but this is not the case. The one and only legitimate theocracy is when God created the nation of Israel. That Old Covenant was broken, which ended the theocracy. Our United States was founded as a constitutional republic. In the discussions and debates of...

In Britain, mocking transgender ideology online, waving the British flag, or reading the Bible on a street corner is now enough to land you in prison – even as the British judicial system lets child rapists out of prison early and ignores a growing wave of violent migrant crime. A recent viral story of an Irish comedian who was arrested earlier this month provides the latest shocking evidence of just how dystopian Britain has become – and how it may not even be safe for Americans to travel there anymore. Graham Linehan was arriving at London’s Heathrow airport on September...

Earlier this year, Vice President J.D. Vance made many European politicians angry when he pointed out that the continent suppresses the free speech rights of citizens. In the weeks and months since his remarks, Europe has done little to prove Vice President Vance was wrong. On September 2, British comedian Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport by five armed police officers. His 'crime' was posting 'gender-critical' comments to X. After being apprehended, Linehan ended up in the hospital with high blood pressure and has vowed to sue the police, calling his arrest 'unlawful.' He's being backed by the Free...

Leaders of the MAGA movement have a new warning: Don’t let America become like Britain. That was the howling conclusion at a conference of MAGA-aligned policymakers and think tanks this week in Washington, where elite voices, many with close ties to President Donald Trump, painted a dystopian, misleading and anti-Muslim picture of England as a bastion for dangerous immigrants. Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s former chief of staff who continues to be an influential adviser, decried the “threat of Islamism in the U.K.,” positioning Britain as a cautionary tale of how mass migration could affect the United States. Others called the...

The Labour Government is set to close down migrant hotels and house residents in former military barracks in a fresh bid to take control of the small boats crisis. The new policy, which will see the closure of dozens of asylum hotels, will be announced within days by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, The Telegraph reports. Keir Starmer has faced criticism in recent weeks over his immigration policies after new official figures showed asylum seeker claims hitting a record high, with more migrants being housed in hotels compared with a year ago. The plan to move migrants into military accommodation comes...

End Wokeness @EndWokeness BREAKING: Shabana Mahmood named as UK Home Secretary, in charge of borders, police, immigration

In the sun-drenched villages dotting Spain’s Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca, a culinary revolution is frying up a storm. Local tapas bars, once steadfast purveyors of patatas bravas, croquetas, and gambas al ajillo, are flipping tradition on its head by embracing a quintessentially British institution: fish and chips. The debate and controversy are also cooking. Dubbed “Fish and Chips Fridays,” this unlikely trend has taken hold in expat-heavy towns, transforming sleepy village squares into bustling hubs of cross-cultural feasting. From Málaga to Alicante, restaurants are battering up cod and hake, serving golden chips with a side of sangría, and...

Britain, once the freest, most democratic country in the world, is descending into anarcho-tyranny. Bereft of a moral compass, contemptuous of public opinion, uninterested in our glorious history of ordered freedom, the British state’s nomenklatura are presiding over an intolerable mix of chaos and authoritarianism, failing to tackle genuine criminality while persecuting respectable citizens for their thoughts and speech. The contradictions, double-standards and selective enforcement are a national scandal. They threaten to turn us into a pariah state, shunned or even sanctioned by true believers in liberty. Nigel Farage was in Washington, explaining to shocked Anglophile congressmen just how far...

A concerted campaign has been launched, openly backed by the Conservative Party, Reform UK, the police and the courts, to create a mass fascist force in Britain, capable of being used not only against immigrants and asylum seekers but the entire working class under conditions in which class conflict is escalating. It is proceeding under the supportive political umbrella provided by the Starmer Labour government’s escalating assault on asylum seekers and refugees.

King Charles and Queen Camilla will be hosting Donald Trump’s state visit later this month, and it's being said, the king has his concerns, but even so, he and Camilla will be gracious hosts, says one royal expert. Charles is reportedly nervous that Trump will speak out of turn during the visit, addressing immigration issues like he did with Prime Minister Keir Starmer, which we inquired about when speaking to Brittani Barger, co-founder of Royal News. According to Barger, if Charles is concerned about Trump speaking out of turn, he has good reason, but no matter what, the monarch will...

Award-winning Irish comedy writer Graham Linehan said that he was arrested in London over posts on social media criticising transgenderism. The creator of celebrated comedy programmes, including Father Ted and The IT Crowd, said on Tuesday that upon recently arriving at Heathrow Airport, he was met by five “armed police officers” who he says arrested him over “three tweets”. “In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet...

The UK looks like it's on the brink of civil war. This is pretty astonishing stuff. It's all revolving around the town of Eping, just northeast of London. Since May, about 140 male asylum seekers have been staying at the Bell Hotel. Britain's been spending about £170 per night to house each asylum seeker. That's over like £6,200 per month per person. Now, you compare that to the 27 per day. That's the cost of standard accommodation. And you can see why taxpayers are so upset. In fact, the government spent 3 billion pounds on asylum hotels in just the...
