In the video, one of the group seen wearing a black jacket and grey hat aims a machete at another in the group who is also dressed all in...

    The invasion of Ukraine is the deadliest conflict for Russia since the Second World War, the British government says, as it places the “likely” death toll for Russian Federation forces at a quarter of a million so far. Russia is “likely” to have taken 900,000 casualties in all since it renewed its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and between 200,000 and 250,000 of those are fatalities, an intelligence digest from Britain’s Ministry of Defence has said. The review of Russia’s combat casualties so far come as U.S. President Donald Trump places clear emphasises on ending what he calls the “killing...

    Public lampposts in London, England, governed by Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan, have been festooned with banners instructing viewers to ‘Trust in Allah’ and ‘Give Zakat’—a form of charitable donation mandated by Islam. The banners were produced by Islamic Relief, an Islamic charity likely hoping to benefit financially from such Zakat donations. . . In another sign of Islam’s growing influence over Britain’s national life, King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, shared a video of themselves packing dates to be sent to Muslims as special treats during Ramadan, which they described as a “holy month” despite the King’s status...

    According to a Live Science report, radiocarbon dating of ancient human skeletons recovered from the River Thames indicates that they date to between 4000 B.C. and A.D. 1800. Nichola Arthur of London's Natural History Museum said that most of the remains dated to the Bronze Age, between 2300 and 800 B.C., and the Iron Age, between 800 B.C. and A.D. 43. These bones were recovered in upstream zones of the river, she added. "We can now say with confidence that these don't appear to just be bones that have steadily accumulated in the river through time," she explained. "There really...

    The remnants of one of early Roman London's most important buildings was discovered beneath an office building at 85 Gracechurch Street in the city center, according to a statement released by the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA). Archaeologists uncovered a section of a 30-foot-long stone wall that they believe belonged to the city's first basilica, which was built in the 70s or 80s a.d. Roman basilicas were typically located within the forum, which was the social, political, and religious center of a Roman town. MOLA researchers think that the part of the basilica they unearthed belonged to the Tribunal, where...
  • Why banks are flying gold bars on commercial flights from London to NYC

    President Donald Trump's tariff plans have prompted some of the largest banks in the U.S. and Britain to fly gold bars from London to New York City on commercial flights. Trump's plans to impose tariffs on U.S. trading partners – including a reciprocal tariff regime that's expected to be formalized by early April and tariffs on the European Union he hasn't yet detailed – have spurred banks to relocate their gold reserves. That move has been driven by a price differential between gold sold in London and New York – The Wall Street Journal reported last week that the prices...

    Gold is being flown from London to New York in unusually high volumes. Gold held in the UK's central bank has been trading at a discount due to tariff fears. The metal has been trading at record highs of about $2,9000 an ounce this month. Significant amounts of gold are being taken out of the UK's central bank and flown to New York, driven by fears about the impact of tariffs threatened by President Donald Trump. The uncertainty means gold held at the Bank of England has been trading at a discount to the wider market, and traders face lengthy...

    Far-left London Mayor Sadiq Khan has warned that the “spectre of a resurgent fascism” threatens the West with the rise of populists in Europe, tech giants rolling back censorship, and the return of Donald Trump to the White House. The leftist Labour Party politician, writing for the Observer, the sister paper of the Guardian, likened the growing rejection of neo-liberal globalist policies in Europe and America to the rise of fascism in the “1920s and 1930s”. “The far right is on the march,” Mayor Khan exclaimed. “From Switzerland and Sweden to Hungary, Austria and Italy, European nations are coming under...

    Green radicals from the Just Stop Oil activist collective defaced Charles Darwin’s grave on Monday, claiming that humanity will not be able to adapt to the supposed climate crisis. Members of the climate change alarmist Just Stop Oil group used orange spray paint to deface ‘Father of Evolution’ Charles Darwin’s grave memorial in Westminster Abbey, with the message “1.5 is dead”, a reference to the 2015 Paris Agreement, which called on governments to prevent the world from increasing temperatures beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius. “Two Just Stop Oil supporters have painted Charles Darwin’s grave to demand that the UK government works...

    Sara Sharif's killer father has been ambushed in prison and 'had his neck slashed with tuna can lid' in a vicious attack.

Just weeks into his 40-year sentence, the murderer was left in a critical condition, but is understood to have survived the brutal attempt on his life. Allegedly the pair were sickened by his abuse of the 10-year-old school girl, who was hooded, bitten, burned and eventually beaten to death during a campaign of abuse before her body was found...

    An £18,000,000 plan to redevelop Highgate Cemetery, the final resting places of Karl Marx and George Michael, has divided local residents. The graves of Marx and Michael are among those currently ‘at risk’ of damage from falling ash trees, which have been decaying due to longstanding disease and drainage issues at the famous cemetery. Ash dieback, a fungal disease that could eventually kill up to 80% of ash trees across the UK, has seen trees topple in the cemetery and forced many more to be cut down. Marx’s grave is surrounded by ash trees, whereas George Michael’s burial spot lies...

    As we approach the momentous return of Donald J. Trump to the US Presidency, preparations are reportedly in course to get Ukraine ready for the ‘day-after’ the war. A report from Spanish paper El Mundo (behind a paywall) shows the Western powers preparing a ‘golden exile’ in London for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. That would follow a ‘peace agreement’ with Russia, according to ‘rumors’ emanating from Ukrainian diplomats. Conflict Watcher reported: “The newspaper claims that Ukrainian diplomats believe Zelensky is expected to be sent to London while Ukraine gears up for presidential and parliamentary elections. The term ‘golden exile’ refers...
