The UN General Assembly this week passed a resolution to characterize the founding of the modern state of Israel in 1948 as a “catastrophe,” in what has been heralded as a major victory for pro-Palestinian activists. The word “Nakba,” which means catastrophe or disaster in Arabic, was also a term coined by the Palestinians to commemorate the Jewish state’s founding. The UN resolution acknowledges the Palestinian version of the events that led to Israel’s creation, and calls for the “commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Nakba,” with a “high-level event” at the global body on May 15th, 2023. May...

They are not referring to the hundreds of thousands of migrants--legal and illegal--who have poured out into the streets to protest in support of Hamas. Nope. The UK government has labeled British citizens as supporters of extremist terrorist ideologies if they believe that Western Culture is under threat from the flood of migrants who spend countless hours flooding into the streets waving Hamas flags and screaming about Sharia law. The British state has now declared civic nationalism an extremist ideology. pic.twitter.com/s9OwETEhz0— Lord Bebo (@MyLordBebo) June 8, 2025Seriously.

Isabel Oakeshott, Talk’s international editor joins Kevin O’Sullivan to discuss how a convicted foreign criminal escaped from a deportation flight at London’s Heathrow airport, sprinting across the runway in a major security breach. It is thought the man asked to use the toilet before take-off, then ran past Mitie security staff while still wearing a waist restraint. Isabel says, “This is an extraordinary display of incompetence.”

A court ruling on Monday in Britain, if it is allowed to stand, could do nothing less than change the course of that country’s history, and that of the entire world. The U.K. has taken a decisive step away from the principles of free speech that it played a dominant role in formulating and giving to the world. There is serious cause for doubt now about whether the Sceptered Isle will even survive as a free society. Officially, Hamit Coskun was found guilty of a “religiously aggravated public order offence.” His specific crime, however, was that he publicly burned a...

White British people will become a minority in the UK population within the next 40 years, a report has predicted. An analysis of migration, birth and death rates up to the end of the 21st century predicts that white British people will decline from their current position as 73 per cent of the population to 57 per cent by 2050 before slipping into a minority by 2063. The research, by Prof Matt Goodwin of Buckingham University, suggests that by the end of the century, the white British share of the population – defined as people who do not have an...

The British Prime Minister has launched his Strategic Defence Review at a shipyard in Scotland on Monday, promising cash for new nuclear warheads, new attack submarines, and a building programme for new munitions factories. The United Kingdom, which presently spends 2.3 per cent of its GDP on defence, will boost that to 2.5 per cent by 2027 and 3 per cent by some time in the 2030s, the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said on Monday morning. The announcement was criticised from both sides, on one hand for three per cent of national output on defence being woefully low for...

VIDEOGlobal vaccine hesitancy has gone so viral that even at one of the centers of the Covid vax mandate, the British National Health Service, nine out of ten doctors, nurses, and staff have now REFUSED to take the flu vaccine. What happened to those strongly enforcing the mandate a few years ago? Why not track them down and ask them what they now think about this issue? I am especially interested in learning the current views of one of the most vicious of the mandate enforcers, Michael Gunner who was the Chief Minister of Australia's Northern Territory. A few months...

Sussex police officers PC Stephen Smith and PC Rachel Comotto went on trial in London over the incident involving Donald Burgess, a single-leg amputee and wheelchair user. The officers were accused of using excessive force on Mr Burgess during a confrontation at Park Beck care home in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, on 21 June 2022. The pair had denied the charges. A jury at Southwark Crown Court found 51-year-old Smith not guilty of two counts of assault for using Pava spray and a baton. Comotto, 36, was found not guilty of one count of assault for deploying her Taser. The...

The British economy continues to struggle under PM Keir Starmer, the military is depleted and a pension crisis is on the horizon, but there is one area where the UK is exceeding expectations. Starmer’s UK has achieved levels of political prisoners not only resembling but occasionally even outdoing those of Communist dictatorships like Cuba, Venezuela and even China. Freedom House estimated that Cuba has 2,768 political prisoners, Venezuela has 1,953 political prisoners, and thousands more in China. Starmer’s regime and an enthusiastic police force have easily outdone these backward Communist regimes by arresting over 1,000 people a month for social...

What I learned from debating at Oxford and CambridgeWhen I was growing up, people often said British politics were where America’s would be in five, ten or 20 years. What this meant was that Britain was more to the left of America: more secular, more socially liberal, more environmentalist, more globalized. The assumption was that, over time, the left would always win out, so wherever Britain was now, America would soon be. I traveled to the United Kingdom in May to debate the students and faculty of Cambridge and Oxford Universities in large part because that old assumption is dead...

I'm not a rap fan but this really hits. Now things are getting interesting. I'd argue England is not lost, yet. Something is coming to a head with the working/middle class...as expressed in this video.

Free speech and Grooming Gang fighter, Tommy Robinson, has been released from prison. Now the State has charged him with 'causing fear' of two 'journalists' from the Daily Mail, that doxed him and his family while on vacation, for merely naming who doxed him.

To mark the 80th anniversary of the eventual Liberation of the islands, ‘Britain Under the Nazis: the Forgotten Occupation’ (w/t) tells the story of one the most controversial periods in WW2 British history, utilising eye-witness accounts from those who lived through it. In June 1940 Britain abandoned the Channel Islands to the Nazis. 69,000 islanders were left to live with the enemy, facing an impossible dilemma: to collaborate, resist, or tread a difficult line in between. Their words, drawn from little known diaries, memoirs and letters from both the occupiers and occupied, are brought to life by actors for the...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not hold back in his criticism of U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. The Israeli leader’s condemnation comes after the U.K., France and Canada issued a joint statement demanding that Israel end its military campaign in Gaza. In a video statement released on Thursday, Netanyahu said Hamas does not want a Palestinian state; rather, the terror group wants the destruction of the state of Israel. He questioned how this "simple truth evades the leaders of France, Britain, Canada and others." Netanyahu went on to accuse...

Boko Haram has evolved from a local terrorist group to a regional and global security threat....Since then, Boko Haram has increased its frequency of terror attacks in Nigeria, pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, and expanded geographically to launching attacks in other West and Central African countries, such as Cameroon, Chad, and Niger. ...snip.... The U.S. support is also coming rather late in the game. The U.S. commitment of troops in Cameroon came only after China, Russia, Germany and France had already committed to help Cameroon, through defense cooperation agreements (Russia) and by providing sophisticated military equipment (China, Germany) and...

The Conservative Party has sunk to its lowest ever poll rating recorded by one of Britain’s most reputable pollsters. A YouGov poll carried out on May 18 and 19 found the Tories are now in fourth place and polling at just 16 per cent, which the company said was a historic low. It comes after the Conservatives lost every single council they were defending at this month’s local elections and as Reform UK continues to surge. The Tories are in fourth position for the first time since June 2019, which was at the height of the Brexit deadlock and shortly...

A STEYN I-TOLD-YOU-SO MOMENT: As I have written often, the consistent message from the permanent ruling class around the west is that nothing will be permitted to change on anything that matters. Of the two principal popular revolts of almost a decade ago - the Trump election and the Brexit vote - the jury is still out on Trump 47 (America's last chance), but Brexit is dead. A theme of my book The Prisoner of Windsor is that there is no Brexit. It never happened - or, perhaps more precisely, it was never permitted to happen. And so, as the...

Another bunch of third world "refugees" in France waiting to hop on a boat and make their way to the UK because they will "get everything for free". On the backs of British tax payers of course, who will pay for free hotels, free health care etc etc for these grifters. Worth watching. Starmer must pay for this outrage in the next elections.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday announced a major immigration overhaul that doubles the residency requirement for citizenship and imposes stricter English language requirements, declaring settlement in Britain “a privilege, not a right.” The new policy increases the residency requirement from five to ten years before migrants can apply for citizenship, with exceptions for those making a “high contribution” to the island nation. The overhaul is being spearheaded by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, promising English language requirements across every visa route, extending to adult dependents for the first time. “We will create a migration system that is controlled, selective,...
