The United Kingdom will no longer object to the International Criminal Court seeking an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a major foreign policy change for the country’s new left-globalist government. The British government had submitted a brief to the International Criminal Court (ICC) questioning the body’s jurisdiction to issue arrest warrants for Israel back in June, throwing into question the move by the court’s move to seek the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Now a spokesman for 10 Downing Street, the official office and residence of the British Prime Minister, has...

The peak electricity demand in Britain is in the winter when we need to heat our homes, offices, shops, warehouses, factories etc. But in the winter solar farms produce almost no electricity in Britain. This is because it is dark for around 16 hours a day and when the Sun does appear it is weak and usually hidden behind thick cloud. Solar energy may make sense in some countries, for example the countries of North Africa, but building solar farms in Britain is completely brainless.The new Energy Secretary Ed Milliband has just given the green light to the biggest solar...

The Welsh Labour government is set to scrap its blanket 20mph speed limits just a year after they were introduced. Ken Skates, the Welsh transport minister, admitted 'errors have been made' with the scheme, which is set to be reverted in September this year with the introduction of new guidance across the country. This will allow local authorities to raise the speed limit to be back to 30mph on certain roads 'outside urban centres and rural residential roads with no nearby facilities'. They will also be increased on major routes, such as bus corridors, with minimal cyclist and pedestrian traffic...

[Fosse Way] This is a theory that I have seen numerous times now, so why not delve deeper. I really try to avoid presenting theories that are my own, I am no academic and absolutely don't want to fly in the face of archaeology or scientific process in any way. What I try to do is question theories presented that seem long held and have no scientific or academic basis, in this case the website rural-roads (link below), wiki and Tacitus himself, that all suggested this was some kind of border, or ditch or wall.

Britain’s leftist Prime Minister Keir Starmer has green-lit the use of British missiles by the Ukrainian military to strike the Russian mainland. Starmer, who was elected with a landslide majority despite winning just over 30 percent of the overall vote, attended the NATO summit on Wednesday, where he argued it was up to Ukraine how they use their military aid. “My message to President Putin is this: this NATO summit should be seen as a clear and united resolve by NATO allies and others that are there at the same time to stand with Ukraine and stand up to Russian...

Sir Keir Starmer has told the Ukrainian president that British missiles can be used for defensive strikes against targets inside Russia. The announcement came as the new British prime minister met Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the NATO summit in Washington DC on Wednesday.

The Digital Services Act (DSA), which went into effect at the start of 2024, is the European Union’s flagship online censorship law. Other than China’s Great Firewall, it is arguably the most elaborate and wide-reaching instrument of government control of online content in the world. (snip) Informational threats to “public security and electoral processes” are also a tried-and-true pretext for censoring political opposition. Indeed, “election integrity” was the main pretext used by U.S. government-tied groups to censor American political speech during the 2020 election.To ensure compliance, the DSA establishes an official censorship bureaucracy that stretches across the EU, consisting of...

Britain's Labour Party swept to power Friday after more than a decade in opposition, as a jaded electorate handed the party a landslide victory — but also a mammoth task of reinvigorating a stagnant economy and dispirited nation. Labour leader Keir Starmer will officially become prime minister later Friday, leading his party back to government less than five years after it suffered its worst defeat in almost a century. In the merciless choreography of British politics, he will take charge in 10 Downing Street hours after Thursday's votes are counted — as Conservative leader Rishi Sunak is hustled out. "First...

Labour Leader Keir Starmer poised to become Britain's next prime minister. British voters frustrated by a sluggish economy voted to oust their conservative party from power after 14 years of rule, and turn to liberal Labour Leader Keir Starmer to be their next prime minister. Exit polls showed the Labour Party was poised for a landslide victory, ending Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's turbulent tenure. "To everyone who has campaigned for Labour in this election, to everyone who voted for us and put their trust in our changed Labour Party - thank you," Starmer wrote on the X social platform after...

@RaheemKassam EXCLUSIVE: Nigel Farage's first interview – with @RealAmVoice and @TheNatPulse – following his historic parliamentary victory in Clacton-on-Sea and the insurgency of his @reformparty_uk.

Polls have closed in the UK General Election, and the nationwide exit poll says the Labour Party has won around 410 seats nationwide, replacing the Conservatives after 14 wasted years. Sir Keir Starmer, a top lawyer who once served as the United Kingdom’s Director of Public Prosecutions and supposedly former hardline leftist radical, who claims to have changed his mind and reformed the Labour party he now leads into a mature and capable governing force, is going to be the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

The year is 1788, and King George III (Nigel Hawthorne) has entered the 28th year of his reign. Ever since King George III lost the American colonies in the revolution of 1776, his mental health started to decline. This affected his sanity/ memory, behavior, demeanor, and even affected him physiologically (thus turning his urine blue). As his decline becomes all the more obvious, despite his wife, Queen Charlotte (Helen Mirren) making excuses for him, his mental acuity and stability becomes a very serious matter in Parliament and to his family. This is where things get really interesting, and the drama...

Rule, Britannia!A little over 14 years ago, I was in school, revising for upcoming exams and only faintly aware of an impending UK election because my school made us run a "mock election".The exercise revealed that kids voted in 1 of 3 ways: for the party that their parents liked, the party that had the most popular kid representing it as its fake leader, or the party that their parents specifically did not like, in a boring bit of teenage rebellion.The Conservatives won that mock election. They also won the most seats in the actual 2010 election, the 2015 election,...

@Nigel_Farage 🚨 ELECTION INTERFERENCE ALERT 🚨 Big Tech giant @Google has BLOCKED our Ad Accounts. They are trying to stop the Reform message. I hope @MattBrittin can look into this issue as a matter of urgency. We want action.

The lies on border control and taxation from the UK Conservative party seem to be coming home to roost, with a poll finding a plurality of voters believe the party deserves total electoral oblivion. ........... Such astonishing betrayals, now impossible to hide and increasingly a matter of common conversation in Britain, are reflected in a Public First survey reported by The Daily Telegraph which found that 46 per cent agree the Tories “deserve to lose every seat they have”, an event that would be without parallel in 400 years of British political history.

News of revival from countries outside of the United States continues to travel around the world. This time, a massive gospel event in London last month saw more than 70,000 moved by the Spirit of God with many people giving their lives to Jesus Christ, experiencing healing and seeing deliverance. Evangelist Daniel Chand, pastor of Pragma Church and founder of Walking Like Jesus Ministries (WLJM), says thousands worshipped Jesus and heard an encouraging message in Trafalgar Square in the U.K. on May 4th. "We witnessed not only history but prophecy being (fulfilled)," he wrote. "Thousands in Trafalgar Square heard the...

A world-historical societal transformation is taking place before our very eyes, and yet few have taken notice. Britain, the erstwhile leader of the Western world and the foundation and source of English-speaking civilization, is in its last days as a free society, and will soon become an Islamic state. Yet despite the mountains of evidence that this transformation is taking place, many will still deny that it is happening at all. They may not even admit it when it overtakes them personally. The English actor-turned-political-activist Lawrence Fox recently noted what was happening: "The Mayor of London is a Muslim. The...

Fake news reported it as a riot and pitched battle with police and football hooligans. No such thing. Video from the rally shows peaceful, patriotic love fest. They even cleaned up after themselves. Procession to Parliament Square, Union Jacks and Saint George flags on display. Coverage reminds me of RSBN pre-rally commentary.

These figures are a rough estimate of the death of non-Muslims by the political act of jihad. Africa Thomas Sowell [Thomas Sowell, Race and Culture, BasicBooks, 1994, p. 188] estimates that 11 million slaves were shipped across the Atlantic and 14 million were sent to the Islamic nations of North Africa and the Middle East. For every slave captured many others died. Estimates of this collateral damage vary. The renowned missionary David Livingstone estimated that for every slave who reached a plantation, five others were killed in the initial raid or died of illness and privation on the forced march.[Woman’s...

In Britain, the vast majority of gang rapes are committed by Pakistani Muslims. In Denmark, "asylum seekers" from Muslim countries commit more crimes than citizens born in Denmark. In Sweden, more than 50% of the rapes are committed by "foreign born" assailants. Because of its open borders policy toward refugees from Muslim countries Sweden also has a firearms homicide rate twice that of any other European nation. In Germany, Marie-Thérèse Kaiser was fined $6,500 for publicly mentioning official government statistics showing that a disproportionate number of rapes are committed by Afghan "refugees." In the United Kingdom, the prediction that admitting...
