Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accused the Prime Minister of presiding over a two-tier policing and prisons system in a furious Commons clash. Around 1,750 people were expected to be let out on Tuesday in a bid to ease overcrowding. The Reform leader said at Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs): “Yesterday we witnessed some extraordinary celebratory scenes outside Britain’s prisons, where in some cases serious career criminals were released. This to make way for, yes, rioters, but equally those who have said unpleasant things on Facebook and elsewhere on social media. “Does the Prime Minister understand there is a growing...

The BBC reports the Metropolitan Police confirm officers were called to reports of an altercation in Clapton at 15:38 and found a man with a stab injury.

Soviet Britain and the Future of AmericaIn recent weeks, riots have broken out across the U.K., with rival gangs of native Britons and Muslims clashing. The police response has been telling.The following is just a selection of the hundreds of arrests and sentences already meted out:A middle-aged woman from Cheshire was arrested for posting incorrect information on Facebook.A 61-year-old man was jailed for 18 months after shouting abuse at police officers, making “threatening gestures,” and shouting “who the f*** is Allah.”A 40-year-old man was arrested for posts alleged to contain “anti-Muslim and anti-establishment rhetoric.”One man who watched riots from...

London's Metropolitan Police chief warned that officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commentary on the riots in the U.K., but on American citizens as well. "We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you," Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News. Riots have broken out across the United Kingdom in recent days over false rumors spread online that an asylum seeker was responsible for a mass stabbing at...

LONDON — In a stark example of art imitating life, producers of the popular spy franchise announced that in the latest James Bond film, 007 will be tasked with taking down an 83-year-old British grandma who shared an inaccurate meme. Eon Productions Limited revealed plans for the new film, ripping the main plot straight from current headlines and pitting the renowned British super spy against a new terrifying threat posed by an elderly woman who posts an unapproved meme on social media. "This is the greatest threat Bond has ever faced," said Barbara Broccoli, film producer and custodian of the...

Just over a month into his tenure, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government is facing an extremely serious crisis. After spending 14 years in opposition, the Labour government now finds itself dealing with a volatile mix of insecurity, immigration issues and right extremism — three highly contentious elements in today’s political landscape. Far right riots have erupted in England and Northern Ireland over the week targeting immigrants through disturbing displays of anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiments fueled by misinformation circulating on social media. The outbreak of violence occurred after a knife attack at a dance club in Southport, northwest England,...

Dear Keir Starmer, I'm calling out the Fascist United Kingdom government for its tone-deaf and totally inappropriate response to the disorder on the streets of Southport and the rest of this country. I'm calling for peace. Could you actually listen for once? (more in video). Open Letter to Keir Starmer

Following the United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer's statement in a speech last week that social media companies had not done enough to police speech on their platforms and that actual British police would be monitoring speech online, X owner Elon Musk made reference on Tuesday that the U.K. is sliding into an Orwellian society. "Britain is turning into the Soviet Union," Peter Imanuelsen wrote Tuesday. "Seriously," Musk replied. Imanuelsen's comment ostensibly referred to last Monday's deaths of three girls during a Taylor Swift-themed dance event at the hands of a British national born to Rwandan parents.

LONDON — Britain was tense Wednesday as police and anti-racist campaigners, fearing a possible outbreak of the right-wing rioting that erupted across the country in recent days, flooded into several neighborhoods with large immigrant populations. The handful of anti-immigrant demonstrators police encountered in north London neighborhoods like Finchley and Harrow were vastly outnumbered by hundreds of counterprotesters carrying signs that said “Refugees Welcome” and “Racists Out, Refugees In.” And in the east London neighborhood of Walthamstow, an even larger gathering of more than 5,000 anti-right protesters chanted “Love, not hate” while hundreds of police officers kept watch. There were also...

UK authorities begin to arrest citizens for social media posts "containing inaccurate information."

And, of course, a free pass for the Muslim mobs whose presence must not even be mentioned. Daniel Greenfield - "Hang Together or Separately" @Sultanknish This is UK Justice Minister Shabana Mahmood Now do you understand why the UK police and the Labour regime are letting Muslim mobs freely attack British people while ruthlessly cracking down on protests against migrant violence? Shabana Mahmood MP @ShabanaMahmood My message to anyone who chooses to take part in this violence and thuggery is simple: the police, courts and prisons stand ready and you will face the consequences of your appalling acts. Ministers prepare...

A top police officer in Birmingham has seemingly admitted that there is a “two-tier” approach from law enforcement towards different ethnicities in Britain, undercutting denials from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Following the emergence of “Muslim people” mobs in England as apparent counter to what’s called “far right” riots, with reports stating some carrying weapons in the Bordesley Green area of Birmingham on Monday, the police appeared to admit they have different standards for different races while trying to explain their failure to prevent the anarchic scenes. When pressed as to why there was such little police presence during the...

The United Kingdom’s Director of Public Prosecutions, Stephen Parkinson, has threatened to extradite overseas social media users who have supported or spoken out on the anti-mass migration protests and riots gripping the country. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has promised draconian action against those protesting against the deadly stabbing of multiple young girls by a migration-background teenager in Southport, England last week. (snip) X owner and tech billionaire Elon Musk has also strongly criticized Prime Minister Starmer for two-tier policing of anti-mass migration demonstrators and Muslim counter-demonstrators, branding him “#TwoTierKier.”It remains unclear whether the British government will try to extradite...

The Metropolitan Police has said it will use "every power, tactic and tool" to protect London against "one of the worst spates of violent disorder in the last decade". It follows more than a week of violence in some towns and cities across England and Northern Ireland. More than 100 people were arrested in central London last week after officers clashed with demonstrators in Whitehall. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Valentine said the force would "not hesitate to arrest hundreds more" people if further violent disorder took place. "The scenes of racist, thuggish and criminal behaviour across the country have been...

British journalist and renowned free speech activist Tommy Robinson was arrested in Calgary, Canada, shortly after delivering a powerful speech that criticized censorship and government overreach. (snip) His speech, which received a standing ovation from the audience, was abruptly followed by his arrest. Ten police officers, including both uniformed and undercover personnel, swarmed Robinson after he exited the venue, placed him in an SUV, and drove him away. (snip) Levant continued, expressing confusion and concern about the sudden arrest. “We asked what the charge was. We asked where he was being taken to. The police refused to give us answers.”Levant...

The English standing up for English and Christian culture and against the two-tier policing going on. Led by Tommy Robinson - exactly why they're terrified of him. Totally peaceful gathering. What they're doing to Trump is exactly what they're doing in the UK to Tommy.

Tommy Robinson gives a statement after being cleared by the court. London's Met Police corruption exposed. Tommy demonstrates exactly why the State is terrified of him - he's noting a strong change in support since Oct. 7th attack and how Islamists are allowed to dominate London. Two-tier policing. He will premiere a new documentary on the police during an organized march, while experiencing ever-increasing support.

A near-week of threats hasn’t had the hoped-for impact for Sir Keir Starmer, who on Monday announced a change of tack with the establishment of a “standing army” to crush riots where they appeared. The Prime Minister, a seasoned lawyer with a usually assured and slick style seemed unsure of his words at times and lacked his normal energy as he spoke to journalists on Monday after he stepped out of a government crisis meeting. Speaking at his official residence and office Downing Street, where it appears a certain degree of bunker mentality has set in — the husband of...

The UK’s top cop seemed unable to control his temper when asked about growing concerns opver two-tier policing in the United Kingdom, lashing out at a journalist on Monday morning. Sir Mark Rowley, the chief of the Metropolitan Police, London’s police force and the most senior in the UK, appeared to lose his temper at a journalist on Monday morning as he was questioned about the quality of response to recent incidents of public unrest including riots in England. The top police officer was pictured stepping out of the Cabinet Office in Westminster, the central convening department of the British...
