Rich Democrats have started snapping up luxurious London homes to escape America after Donald Trump's landslide election victory. Buying agents have noticed an uptick in interest from wealthy Americans who wish to buy property in London as a 'safety net' for Trump's return to the White House. In just two days, Becky Fatemi, executive partner at Sotheby's International Realty, said she got five calls from wealthy Americans wanting to move following the election. 'That's people saying, "he's here, and he's here for the next four years, and I don't want to be, so these are the dates that we're flying...

Britain’s left-wing government announced a plan on Thursday to surrender sovereignty of a British Overseas Territory in the Indian Ocean that has hosted an important joint U.S.-UK military base and listening post for the past 50 years. The United Kingdom is giving the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, from whom it bought the archipelago in the 1960s. The announcement is the latest development in years of sovereignty claims by Mauritius, now drifting into China’s sphere of influence, which until recently were not even recognised as legitimate by the UK or its allies. Just last week, President of Mauritius Prithvirajsing Roopun barracked...

Having read Bill Ponton’s very clear “reality check” on the UK’s Net Zero project, you are probably wondering, what are the counter-arguments advanced by the supporters of Net Zero? After all, the Net Zero thing appears to have near-unanimous support in the UK. There is no significant political party in that country that advocates policies dissenting from the Net Zero program, unless you count the UK Independence Party, which at the moment holds zero seats in a House of Commons of 650 members. The currently-governing Conservative Party is fully on board with the Net Zero program, with the partial exception...

After years of disruption and vandalism, consequences have finally arrived for "Just Stop Oil" protesters. I'm not just talking about some motorists throwing them out of the street either, as satisfying as that usually is. This time, actual prison sentences were handed down.

Video of the incident went viral at the time. Phoebe Plummer, 23, and Anna Holland, 22, were arrested for their deeds, though it wasn't immediately...

The failed policy of accepting unchecked mass migration has wrecked the social fabric of the United Kingdom, leading to the emergence of the ‘grooming gangs’ and the explosion of sexual violence rates. Sure enough, not all rapes or sexual assaults in Britain are linked to the invasion of illegals from cultures that are not assimilating, but the two phenomena sure are developing in parallel. BBC reported: “A rape offense is reported every hour in London, according to data obtained by the BBC. More than 8,800 rape incidents were reported to the Metropolitan Police in 2023 – an average of 24...

LONDON, Ky. — Dozens of law enforcement officers are combing through the rugged terrain of southeastern Kentucky for a third day Monday as they search for the man suspected of shooting of nine vehicles and wounding five people on a busy interstate. When asked by reporters what makes this terrain so rough, Acciardo said the area off of I-75 where the shooting occurred is one of the most remote locations in The Commonwealth. "That exit along I-75 is probably the most remote throughout Kentucky," he said. "It's wooded, it's heavily wooded. It's got hills, it's got rocks. There's one business...
