A U.K. member of Parliament has called for the reinstatement of a nurse who was suspended for correctly using male pronouns for a convicted pedophile. The case involves allegations of religious discrimination, racial abuse and institutional bias within the National Health Service. Claire Coutinho, the shadow equalities minister and Conservative MP for East Surrey, last week met with nurse Jennifer Melle at Westminster to discuss the disciplinary action taken against her, the conservative group Christian Concern reported. Coutinho said she would write to the chief executive of the Epsom and St. Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, as well as to...

On the heels of the UK recognizing an Islamic terrorist state in Israel, police arrested the third known person for criticising Hamas and released a Muslim man who had gone on a stabbing spree after he saw a Koran being burned. Or as the judge in the case put it, “the holy Koran.” Who is the Koran holy to? The political and judicial systems of the United Kingdom which have effectively enacted Islamic Sharia blasphemy law by selectively prosecuting those who offend Islam. But not those who offend the religious sensibilities of Christians or Jews. Do whatever you like with...

This man is surrounded by police and told that he can’t fly his flag!! Video:

Free speech campaigners have warned Muslims have been 'given the green light to take the law into their own hands' after a man was spared jail for attacking a protester who was burning the Koran. Activist Hamit Coskun, 51, shouted 'f*** Islam', 'Islam is religion of terrorism' and 'Koran is burning', as he held a flaming Islamic text aloft outside the Turkish consulate during a protest in Knightsbridge on February 13. During his protest, Moussa Kadri rushed out of a residential building and told Mr Coskun 'I'm going to kill you', before slashing at him with a knife. Kadri later...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A federal officer says a man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab an officer's gun so he could kill the candidate. A complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Michael Steven Sandford with an act of violence on restricted grounds. It cites a report by Special Agent Swierkowski, whose first name was not included, saying Sandford told officers he drove from California to kill Trump and went to a Las Vegas gun range the day before to learn to shoot.

VIDEODon't call Keir Starmer a Muppet when visiting Britain. Why? Because he looks like a Muppet and is very upset if anybody calls him a Muppet. In fact, it is now illegal to call anybody a Muppet in Britain. We laughed and thought it was ridiculous when China arrested people for calling their President, Xi Jinping, Winnie the Pooh yet now calling someone in Britain a Muppet is an offense for which you can be arrested.

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...

Bernadette Spofforth lay in jail on a blue gym mattress in a daze, finding it difficult to move, even breathe. “I just closed down. But the other half of my brain went into Jack Reacher mode,” she said, referring to the fictional action hero. “Every single detail was in this very vivid, bright, sharp focus.” She remembers noticing that you can’t drown yourself in the toilet, because there’s no standing water in it and the flush button is too far to reach if your head were in the bowl. She’d end up being detained for 36 hours in July 2024....

Pakistani child rapist gang kidnapped and r*ped 8 girls aged 11 and 15. The gang gave the girls heroin and crack and made them addicted. The girls were forced into prostitution and sold for £600. One of the girls who was severely tortured committed suicide. This happened in Oxford UK.

Glancing upwards only to spot a drone hovering over their gardens last week was the last straw for residents of Welford Place SW19, whose homes overlook the much lauded All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC). While the eye in the sky probably belongs to an accredited broadcaster scouting out local colour ahead of the annual championships, the intrusion felt all too typical of the approach that the Wimbledon high command itself takes to its near neighbours. The annual championships may charm a world audience with its cultivated celebration of grass court tennis, strawberries and a nostalgic evocation of English fair...

Sir Keir Starmer warned there was a risk of the Middle East crisis spiralling beyond the region after Donald Trump ordered US planes and submarines to attack Iran's nuclear programme. The Prime Minister urged all sides to return to negotiations but said he had taken 'all necessary measures' to protect British interests in the region if the conflict escalates. He spoke out ahead of a Cobra meeting this afternoon, as Tehran vowed to retaliate for the strike on three facilities in the heart of the country. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds confirmed this morning that the UK was told about the...

The dangers of printing money are well-documented. Too much money chasing too few goods leads to higher prices and lower growth. Hundreds of billions of pounds of so-called quantitative easing (QE) during the financial crisis skewed this perception as the Bank of England repeatedly fired up the printing presses to try to revive the UK’s ailing economy. Inflation at first failed to rear its ugly head, until it did. And policymakers and taxpayers are now counting the cost of Britain’s £895bn monetary experiment. QE is a process where Threadneedle Street creates money that is used to buy government bonds, known...

Home Office translators are running a lucrative scam to spring illegal immigrants from detention, an undercover Mail investigation has discovered. Interpreters charge £3,000 to act as witnesses to lie to a judge and secure bail for Albanians caught coming into the UK with fake passports or on small boats and lorries. The bogus guarantors vouch for the immigrants who they promise the court will stay at their home if released. But in reality they have no connection with the detainees they testify on behalf of and are happy for them to live anywhere – including beyond the control of the...

An interesting report from the U.K reflects British government officials who feel their legal position against ‘free speech’ in Great Britain is now part of the negotiations for President Trump’s tariffs. Essentially, the tariff discussion is encompassing more than just tariffs; if the nation does not support traditional freedoms and liberty, they could face stronger tariffs from the USA.The messenger for this dynamic is not coincidentally Vice President JD Vance, who aligns closely with the tech platforms. The tech control agents are bitterly opposed to President Trump’s tariff position, and this nuance is quite possibly a way to give the...

I now fear Britain is heading for open sectarian conflict, possibly war, and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. Here’s a snapshot of what I’m hearing. On one night in Westminster, I met someone who argued for voluntary repatriation, two generations back; a Labour activist told me we must “re-educate” Muslims; and Jacob Rees-Mogg, debating me on GB News, said Britain should take “zero” refugees. I spluttered a reply about the good Samaritan and staggered off to bed, confused and depressed. I now fear Britain is heading for open sectarian conflict, possibly war, and there’s nothing we can...

AI program ChatGPT refused when asked to generate an image of the Prophet Muhammad due to what it asserted was a “credible, historically demonstrated” threat of a violent backlash.A user quizzed OpenAI’s artificial intelligence chatbot as to why it wouldn’t create a depiction of the founder of Islam, asking, “Explain to me, in a succinct manner, why you can’t generate an image of Muhammad, without caveats, without parallels to other topics – address it head on for the record.”ChatGPT’s response was crystal clear.“Because OpenAI prohibits any depiction of Muhammad – under any context – due to the credible, historically demonstrated...

THOUSANDS are without power and the Merseyside Derby has been called off as 93mph Storm Darragh batters Britain. Brits have been urged to stay at home in a rare red warning - with flights and trains axed.
