BRITAIN has a growing Tommy Robinson problem. Not back at home, where the anti-migration agitator remains a fringe figure, confined to the streets and the internet. But here in the US it is a different story. With the “special relationship” down the pan right now amid Keir Starmer’s desertion of Britain’s closest ally over Iran, the grifters smell an opportunity. The PM has been relegated to the sidelines of global matters, scorned daily by President Trump, but facing seething anger across Washington that extends far beyond the White House. With bafflement at Britain’s border incompetence, benefit spending, energy self-harm, and...

“I’m the Prime Minister of Spain. This Is Why the West Needs Migrants,” Pedro Sanchez headlined his New York Times op-ed. “The West needs people. Currently, few of its countries have a rising population growth rate. Unless they embrace migration, they will experience a sharp demographic decline.” Spain’s demographic decline is helped along by the nearly 1,000 euthanasia cases a year. Those who die are replaced with the growing flood of Muslim championed by Sanchez. The West needs people, but only certain kinds of people, and it euthanizes the wrong kind. Spain’s population is set to shrink by one more...

"I don’t want this state that I love to become the country I left,” Steve Hilton tells the lunch meeting of South­ern California Republican Women. Knives and forks rattle on porcelain as the perfectly coiffured ladies down cutlery to clap. Remarkably, Hilton, director of strategy under former British prime minister David Cameron, has topped virtually every poll for governor of California since he launched his campaign in April last year. Hilton has leant into the West Coast aesthetic and spirit. Once the rebel of Downing Street in T-shirts and stockinged feet, today he sports a tech-bro beard, more bracelets and...

I should explain, for American readers, what a judicial review is in the UK. It is not quite the same as suing the government, though it has a similar effect. It is a procedure by which the courts in England and Wales can examine whether a public body—a minister, a local authority, a regulator—has acted unlawfully. If the judges agree that it has, they can quash the decision. Think of it as the British equivalent of challenging an executive action in the federal courts, except that our system doesn’t require you to invoke the Constitution. You simply have to show...

A twisted Welsh teen obsessed with serial killers bludgeoned his mom to death with a sledgehammer after asking an AI bot, “What is a better weapon for murder?” Tristan Roberts, 18, deliberately waited until he was an adult before buying tools used to kill his mom, teaching assistant Angela Shellis, 45, blaming it on his “hatred for women” and a need for “revenge, justice and vengeance,” it emerged Wednesday as he was sentenced to at least 22 years in prison. He planned her killing for three weeks — spewing vile hatred online before turning to the Chinese AI bot Deepseek...

When the seven P&I clubs belonging to the International Group issued 72-hour cancellation notices for war risk coverage in the Persian Gulf on March 5, they did not just raise costs. They made transit impossible. P&I clubs insure roughly 90 percent of the world’s ocean-going tonnage. Without their coverage, ships cannot sail. Port authorities will not let them dock. Banks will not finance the cargo. Charterers will not book the vessel. The entire system, from loading berth to discharge terminal, is underwritten by a chain of contracts that begins with a club in London, Oslo, or Tokyo. When the clubs...

The UK’s is set to lead a coalition of countries including the France to help sweep the Strait of Hormuz for mines and reopen it to oil tanker traffic, according to a report. London is working to organize a summit of 30-some nations that had agreed to provide “appropriate efforts” to reopen the strait, according to Politico. Additionally, the UK said it is looking to send a either a Royal Navy mine sweeper ship or hire a civilian ship that can launch mine sweeping drones into the area, The Times reported. Iran still has at least a dozen mines in...

As Western forces launched strikes against Iran, most expected tensions to rise in the Middle East. Few expected a different kind of shockwave--one rippling through the streets, communities, and polling data of Britain itself. Yet that is exactly what has emerged: not just disagreement, but a deep and widening divide over who the enemy is--and who deserves support.New polling conducted between March 2nd and 13th--during the opening phase of the American-Israeli military operation against Iran--reveals something far more serious than policy disagreement. It suggests that a significant portion of Britain's Muslim population did not simply question the West's actions. They...

At the top-of-the-hour newsbreak it was reported a "material witness" being held since Sept related to the 9/11 attacks has gone missing. His lawyer has reported he has no information on the whereabouts of his client. The client has not been seen since last Wednesday morning when he appeared in NY to give testimony. He was told then, apparently, that he faced charges back in San Diego for falsifying information on his application for asylum. The suspect is a student at San Diego State University.

The Islamic Republic of Iran significantly escalated its war effort against the U.S. with its launch of two intermediate-range ballistic missiles on Friday toward Diego Garcia, a key U.S.-U.K. military base in the Indian Ocean. The targeting of Diego Garcia, roughly 2,500 miles from Iran, means Tehran’s missile capabilities appear to have exceeded previously acknowledged limits. In the period leading up to Operation Epic Fury Feb. 28, Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed, "We intentionally kept the range of our missiles below 2,000 kilometers so we don’t have that capability. And we don’t want to do that because we do...

Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia but did not hit the US-U.K. military base in the Indian Ocean, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing multiple US officials. One of the missiles failed in flight, while a US warship fired an SM-3 interceptor at the other, although it could not be determined if the interception succeeded, the newspaper says. The Journal does not specify when the missiles were fired.

During Operation Epic Fury (U.S.) / Roaring Lion (Israel), BBC America—anchored by Caitriona Perry—has systematically avoided showing any meaningful images of damage, injuries, or deaths inside Israel from Iranian missile and rocket barrages. Instead, it has aired daily, graphic footage from Lebanon of the aftermath of Israeli strikes, even though Hezbollah’s attacks on Israeli civilians escalated from early March onward. Only today (3.19.26), for literally a split second, did the network flash any Israeli impact at all: amid weeks of massive Iranian barrages raining down on residential areas across the country—including the killing of four Arab Palestinian women yesterday by...

@Nigel_Farage Our brilliant young minds are being replaced by goat herders from Afghanistan.

Nearly four in 10 new homes built by 2030 will be needed to accommodate migrants arriving in Britain, according to fresh analysis. The research, conducted by the Conservative Party, draws on projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) latest Economic and Fiscal Outlook. According to the OBR, net migration between 2026 and 2030 is expected to reach almost 1.2 million people. Using ONS data on average household size, the Conservatives estimate this would require around just under 500,000 additional homes for new arrivals alone. Britain is projected to deliver about 1.34 million new homes over the same period. The...

A record number of immigrants have applied for British citizenship under Labour ahead of a crackdown and the impending threat of a Reform government. A whopping 291,971 people submitted applications to the Home Office last year - rising from 253,757 in 2024. Eligibility for UK citizenship requires having lived in the UK for five years or having parents with British citizenship. Anyone who is married to a Brit and has lived in the UK for three years can also apply. Experts say the sudden increase in applications has been fuelled by Labour, the Conservatives and Reform all vowing to restrict...

UK:Sharia Patrols on Horseback Rampage Through Manchester Streets as Police Stand Idly By – Starmer’s Two-Tier Tyranny Accelerates Britain’s Surrender to Islam In a scene straight out of a dystopian nightmare, self-styled “Sharia patrols” on horseback charged through Manchester’s streets on March 4, 2026, chasing down peaceful demonstrators celebrating the end of Iran’s brutal Islamic Republic regime. These vigilantes, reportedly wearing armbands emblazoned with “Sharia Law,” terrorized anti-regime protesters—many from the Iranian diaspora and local Jewish communities—who gathered to mark the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in recent US-Israeli strikes. Greater Manchester Police, under the watchful eye of Keir Starmer’s...

Centuries of British political tradition will end within weeks after Parliament voted to remove hereditary aristocrats from the unelected House of Lords.
