Female MPs Receive Death And Rape Threats

Amid worries about an increase in internet harassment connected to immigration debates, female MPs have claimed to have been raped and received death threats.

One MP is said to have reported to the police an online rape threat linked to her support for asylum seekers.

Others told The Guardian they had received death threats amid the ‘constant’ hostility they encounter.

According to a long-time MP, the abuse that members of Parliament endure on social media and in their email inboxes has gotten worse since the Brexit conflicts.

The use of hotels to host asylum seekers sparked protests throughout Britain this past weekend, and the government is coming under increasing pressure to address the problem.

A blow to ministers came last week when the High Court issued an injunction prohibiting the Home Office from housing asylum seekers at the Bell Hotel in Essex.

Following weeks of demonstrations at the Bell Hotel, the Epping Forest District Council decided to take legal action.

The protests were held after an asylum seeker was charged with attempting to kiss a 14-year-old girl, which he denies.

The ruling is threatening to throw Labour’s asylum policy into disarray and has piled pressure on the PM to meet his promise to end the use of migrant hotels by 2029. 

Numerous other authorities have started looking into the possibility of bringing legal challenges against asylum hotels after the Epping injunction was obtained.

So far this year, a record 28,076 people have crossed the English Channel in small boats, 46 per cent more than in the same period in 2024.

After demonstrations on Saturday across the UK, which resulted in at least 15 arrests, protests continued outside migrant hotels on Sunday.

Labour’s Tonia Antoniazzi, who has been MP for Gower since 2017, said the current political climate was ‘frighteningly polarised’.

She told the newspaper: ‘The lambasting we are all getting on social media and in the inbox is grim, from both sides.

‘It’s like we can’t do right for doing wrong, and everything has become frighteningly polarised.

‘Very few people see us as the individual humans that we are – especially women, mums, sisters, daughters – and it’s really changed since I came into the House.

‘It’s worse than Brexit. In fact, I could cope with that better.’

Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer, the MP for Bristol Central, said the abuse she is sent had become ‘noticeably worse’ in the last few months.

She said it was ‘escalating in some cases to violent threats’, which she had reported to the police.

‘As a left-wing and queer woman MP who speaks up frequently in support of refugees and LGBTIQA+ issues, I attract a lot of misogynist and homophobic abuse,’ she said.

‘I wish I was surprised, but sadly it feels inevitable in the current political environment as the far right in the UK and across the world feels more and more emboldened and validated by other political parties dancing to their tune.’

She added: ‘It doesn’t matter how much you disagree with someone, threats of violence are never, ever appropriate. And they won’t silence me.’

Another female MP said: ‘I have received death threats in the last six months.

‘The misogyny and the hate hasn’t really stopped since I was elected, so it always feels like it has been pretty intense and is constant.’

One MP said: ‘I’ve had some pretty unpleasant abuse. One [person] asked recently why I was hosting and supporting child rapists.’

They added that the police had assured them those carrying out the abuse were ‘only a small online community’.

Dan Jarvis, the security minister and chair of the Government’s defending democracy taskforce, said: ‘Vile threats and the intimidation of those who serve in public life is utterly unacceptable.

‘We are absolutely determined to ensure all elected representatives can carry out their democratic duties without suffering harassment, and the defending democracy taskforce works to ensure a whole-of-government response to the threats to our democracy.

‘While there will always be a place for robust debate, there will never be a place for fear in our democracy.’

People don’t feel safe. Women and children don’t feel safe and haven’t done for numerous years due to the inflow of unchecked migrants.

Our UK government are burning the country to the ground, and then they expect sympathy. Newsflash to our politicians – you are not the victims, we are!

For decades, our politicians have treated this nation’s citizens with complete disdain. By permitting unchecked immigration in large numbers against the preferences of the majority, they have negatively impacted our nation, and now they dare to accuse us of racism, xenophobia, and far-right extremism for challenging their policies.

We have seen people being jailed for speaking out. We, the people, need to fight, and MPs should be grateful that the people are not dragging them from their beds by enraged mobs because that’s where we are heading.

Perhaps now our government and MPs know how we feel, you know, the victims!

People are demonstrating because they feel very let down. Demonstrations might seem a bit extreme to some, but it’s just an expression of our frustration. Perhaps if they did what they were elected to do in the first place, people would not feel so inclined to drag MPs from their beds kicking and screaming – and it will happen!

Don’t get me wrong – I don’t condone violence or threats of abuse of any kind, but you have to remember that numerous women across the UK encounter these dangers due to the utter neglect of our government and several former governments.

Even though our government and MPs are ignoring the problem, we are now expected to feel pity for them. If they don’t think things will get worse, they should reconsider.

MARCH FOR REMIGRATION

At a far-right demonstration, police and protesters clashed as opposing factions engaged in combat.

On Saturday, hundreds of people gathered outside Manchester Piccadilly station in Manchester as members of the far-right Britain First party were ready to march into the city.

Crowds packed the streets of the rally, waving St George’s flags and Union Jacks.

But they were met by counter-protesters organised by Stand Up To Racism, who staged a protest opposite the anti-immigration group.

Manchester City Council said Greater Manchester Police had a ‘robust operational plan’ in place to manage the protests, with a focus on public safety and maintaining order.

The council said a number of ‘regular’ protests are also expected on Saturday, adding some ‘may occur across multiple locations in the city centre’.

Greater Manchester Police said in a statement: ‘We respect and facilitate the right to lawful protest.

‘As ever, appropriate plans will be put in place with the organisers and local partners to minimise disruption for those who live, work, and visit our city centre.’

This is not the only demonstration occurring this week.

As previously reported, anti-migrant demonstrators faced off against anti-racism counter-protesters this evening outside a hotel on the south coast used to house asylum seekers.

On Friday, demonstrators gathered outside the Royal Beach Hotel in Southsea, Hampshire, demanding the closure of the establishment while brandishing flags.

There have been anti-immigration protests in Portsmouth, Southampton, and Bournemouth, among other places in the South of England.

All the demonstrations are taking place at places where the government are housing migrants while their asylum applications are processed.

In Southsea, counter-protesters from Stand Up to Racism Portsmouth orchestrated an event at the same location, bearing signs reading ‘Refugees welcome’. 

The day of protests on the south coast follows similar recent unrest in Epping, where a string of protests have taken place calling for the closure of The Bell Inn, a hotel used on and off for the last five years as housing for asylum seekers.

After widespread objections, a ring of steel was also built around the Britannia International Hotel, a four-star luxury hotel in London’s Canary Wharf that has been transformed into a shelter for migrants.

An Epping-style demonstration to stop migrants being accommodated above a town’s shops took to the streets on Wednesday in Waterlooville, Hampshire, as thousands of locals warned of ‘mayhem’ if the plans go ahead.

The British people will continue to defend their nation. The next generation shouldn’t feel like second-class citizens in their own nation because it is ours.

We are now a hugely divided country. Starmer said there would be change, but he’s given us more of the same, and he is frankly defying the will of the British people. He has also lost control of the country, which will explode very soon because British people are fed up with being treated like second-class citizens – enough is enough!

Keir Starmer is insulting and stereotyping the British people of the UK so that he can control them and prevent them from taking action, but the good people of this country can see straight through his tactics – we are not stupid, which makes Starmer look extremely stupid indeed!

Keir Starmer has no spine, and MPs are terrified of the responses their policies and inactions are causing, and they’re attempting to cow the people into silence by labelling them as mean, nasty and violent.

They call them far-right protesters – they’re not far right, they are right for standing up for what they believe in.

They use this term because it’s derogatory and designed to align us with the fascists of the 1930s, and they love to use words that usually end in ist or -phobe when relating to people with whom they disagree.

Carnival Kicks Off

The world-renowned Notting Hill Carnival, a street party, began with vibrant celebrations for J’Ouvert.

From 6 am, festival-goers gathered in west London for J’Ouvert festivities, which means opening of the day, as they paraded through the streets and sprayed brightly coloured paints and powders to get into the carnival mood. 

As the festivities got underway quite early, three men covered in paint were even seen dancing on top of a bus stop outside Ladbroke Grove station, close to Portobello Road market.

Europe’s largest street festival honouring Caribbean culture began dramatically, with hundreds of people gathering beneath a bridge to dance and throw paint into the air.

Some were dressed in blue overalls to protect their garments from the paint, while others sported their most colourful ensembles or took part in a custom from Grenada in the West Indies called Jab-Jab.

In a satirical celebration to acknowledge the negative effects of UK colonialism and the slave trade on Caribbean countries, they cover their bodies with black oil, tar, dirt, or paint, wear horns, and drag chains.

The police said that they expected more than a million people to descend on Notting Hill for what is one of the most significant weekends in the capital’s cultural calendar.

Partygoers are met with dazzling parades featuring masquerade dancing, soca, calypso, steel bands, and huge sound systems.

J’Ouvert was cancelled last year, but returned this year with the official opening ceremony, which started at 10 am Sunday.

With family-friendly events and activities, street dancing, and sound systems all day long, Sunday is Children’s Day Parade.

At 3 pm on both Sunday and Monday, a 72-second silence will be held to remember the Grenfell Tower fire victims.

Usually the busiest day, Monday is the adults’ parade, when revellers in dazzling costumes and waving flags will swarm west London for a lavish day.

During the carnival, police will be deployed in ‘significant numbers’ to deal with any trouble, with about 7,000 officers to be on duty across London this Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday.

The Metropolitan Police said that it had already arrested 100 people and taken dozens of weapons off the streets as part of an operation to deter those who pose the greatest risk to public safety at this year’s event.

Additionally, screening arches and live facial recognition cameras will be installed at the busiest access points to identify weapons.

It comes after two people died days after being attacked in separate incidents during last year’s carnival. Cher Maximen was killed in front of her three-year-old daughter, and Chef Mussie Imnetu was beaten to death by charity worker Omar Wilson.

There were four stabbings and more than 103 arrests for robbery, violence, sexual offences, drug offences and possession of weapons last year.

Police were kicked, punched, pushed, spat at, headbutted and had glass bottles thrown at them in 2024 when 349 arrests were made – the highest total since 2019.

Residents and business owners have been boarding up properties along the carnival route in an attempt to lower the risk of damage.

Commander Charmain Brenyah, the Met Police’s spokesperson for the event, said: ‘The vast majority come to have fun and enjoy themselves, to celebrate Caribbean culture, to dance, to eat and to go home with nothing but good memories.

‘Regrettably, we know a minority come with less positive intentions, and in recent years this has played out in the form of serious violence, including three tragic incidents where lives have been taken.

‘The actions of this minority are totally at odds with the values of those who care passionately about Carnival, and we acknowledge those, including the event organisers, who have stood up to condemn violence and serious criminality in the run-up to this weekend.’

Simon Hill, Deputy General Secretary of the Metropolitan Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, told the Daily Mail in an interview this week that the two biggest concerns for officers were being assaulted and crowd crushing.

He said: ‘Officers are concerned about the crowd density. It is physically possible to be six feet away from a colleague and for you to not be seen or to not see them.

‘Officers are very much isolated due to density. In those isolated moments, then really they are at the mercy of the crowd, if you have people in there intent on causing harm to officers.

‘I’m especially concerned about some of our female colleagues who report being sexually assaulted. It’s just not acceptable. They don’t go to work to be sexually assaulted.

‘It must be dreadful for them. Some of our female colleagues are slight in build – they cannot defend themselves against a dense crowd.’

Mr Hill said officers worried about their ‘inability to protect the public’ in the event of a crowd crush, given video evidence from previous festivals shows the crowd ‘moving almost as a wave… of water’.

He continued: ‘It’s physically possible to lift your feet and be carried with the crowd in certain points. It’s a feeling of helplessness that they are unable to protect and prevent that. There’s also the fear that they’ll actually be caught up in it.’

Mr Hill said officers were ‘very much at risk of being victims of any crushing, as well as the public’.

Susan Hall, a Conservative member of the London Assembly, said in a bombshell report published earlier this month that the carnival in recent years had only narrowly ‘avoided a mass crush on the scale of the Hillsborough disaster’.

London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan has warned of the risk of a ‘crowd crush’ at the carnival, saying at a meeting last month that he had ‘seen images of some of the crowds at some parts’ of the event and ‘watching them made me frightened’.

Politicians have voiced their worries over possible crushes at the free event due to the carnival’s increasing popularity; some have even suggested moving it to Hyde Park.

Mr Hill backed the festival being repositioned to a park where it could be ticketed, although he said he accepted the ‘geographical importance of the event’ in its current location.

He pointed out that the existing road layout in Notting Hill has various trip risks, such as kerbs and drains, but a park would not have as many irregular surfaces.

Mr Hill also suggested a park would have better refreshment and sanitary facilities, adding: ‘The residents come back to their front gardens being used as toilets, and that’s not acceptable.’

He said: ‘I would be surprised if there’s any event in the UK that attracts a similar number of people confined to such a small geographical space.’

The annual festival has been running since 1966, and arrest counts have been on a rising curve since the beginning of the millennium. The total over the past 20 years, between 2005 and 2024, is now well over the 5,000 mark.

Some may argue that it should be prohibited because it contributes nothing to society. I disagree; it contributes far more to society than football and bars.

Notting Hill Carnival yields substantial economic benefits for London, with visitors spending on accommodation, food, and shopping, as well as the more expansive economic stimulus from this large-scale cultural event.

But the reality that homes and businesses must be secured speaks for itself.

These carnival goers never clean up after themselves, and the streets are left in a horrendous condition.

If people and businesses feel the need to board up windows to protect their homes, then perhaps it’s time to consider relocating the festival or cancelling it – somewhere where party-goers can’t make a nuisance of themselves or damage property.

Other festivals are held in fields where the crowds, noise, and attractions can be accommodated, so why not Notting Hill?

The hospitals and police will be very busy!

Britain’s Debt Soars Under Labour

Britain’s national debt skyrocketed by an eye-watering £186 billion during Labour’s first year in power, an analysis has shown.

From the end of July 2024 to the end of last month, the UK’s national debt increased from £2.53 trillion to £2.71 trillion, according to an analysis of official figures.

It means the Labour Government put Britain into the red by an additional £186.2 billion in just 12 months.

The TaxPayers’ Alliance analysis of recently published figures by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) found this represented a £6,510 growth in debt per household.

It was also a £5,880 increase in debt per taxpayer over 12 months, and a £2,726 growth in debt per person.

If the additional debt taken on over 12 months represented spending by a Government department, it would be the third largest in terms of total spending.

This would be after the Department for Work and Pensions and the Department for Health and Social Care.

A ‘debt clock’ launched by the campaign group presently shows the national debt rising by £4,956 per second and £428 million per day. 

But there was some solace for Chancellor Rachel Reeves as ONS figures revealed Government borrowing slowed to a lower-than-expected £1.1 billion last month.

This was the lowest July borrowing figure for three years and £2.3 billion less than July 2024.

It came after a rise in self-assessed income tax and national insurance payments helped boost tax receipts for the month.

July borrowing was lower than the £2 billion figure expected by a consensus of economists.

Yet borrowing for the first four months of this financial year stood at £60 billion, £6.7 billion more than during the same period last year.

The ONS estimated public sector net debt, excluding public sector banks, at 96.1 per cent of GDP at the end of last month. 

Ms Reeves is estimated to be facing a £51 billion black hole in the public finances ahead of her next Budget in the autumn. 

In a recent report, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research found that the ‘wafer-thin’ headroom of £9.9 billion Ms Reeves left herself last year has been wiped out, and there is now a budget shortage of £41.2 billion.

To fill the hole and maintain the buffer, the Chancellor will have to find £51 billion yearly in higher taxes or lower spending by 2029/30, the think tank said.

The dire warnings about the condition of the public finances have raised expectations that Ms Reeves will hike taxes once again this autumn.

She is said to be considering new property levies, including the removal of the capital gains tax exemption for the sale of higher-value homes, as well as replacing stamp duty with an annual charge.

Treasury officials are also said to be eyeing an inheritance tax raid, while economists have also predicted there could be further ‘stealth’ and ‘sin’ taxes.

The Chancellor has ruled out increasing income tax, employees’ national insurance contributions and VAT.

Darwin Friend, head of research of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: ‘The fundamental truth is that Britain has a borrowing problem because politicians have a chronic spending addiction.

‘In just one year, Labour have splurged hundreds of billions they don’t have, piling yet more debt onto taxpayers’ backs.

‘Ministers must slam the brakes on this reckless debt binge because if the Government doesn’t get Britain’s financial house in order, it will be ordinary taxpayers that suffer.’

Elliott Jordan-Doak, senior UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said: ‘The Chancellor will still have to raise taxes in October despite borrowing matching official forecasts.

‘The big picture remains that the public finances are in chronically weak condition.

‘We think the Chancellor will need to resort to ‘sin’ and ‘stealth’ tax hikes, duty increases, and a pensions tax raid in order to meet her fiscal rules if she wants to meet her pledge of keeping headline tax rates unchanged.’

ONS deputy director for public sector finances Rob Doody said: ‘Borrowing this July was £2.3 billion down on the same month last year and was the lowest July figure for three years.

‘This reflects strong increases in tax and national insurance receipts.

‘However, in the first four months of the financial year as a whole, borrowing was over £6 billion higher than in the same period in 2024.’

Treasury minister Darren Jones said: ‘We’re investing in our public services and modernising the state, to improve outcomes and reduce costs in the medium term.

‘Far too much taxpayer money is spent on interest payments for the longstanding national debt.

‘That’s why we’re driving down government borrowing over the course of the parliament – so working people don’t have to foot the bill and we can invest in better schools, hospitals and services for working families.’

Labour is driving this country to its knees, so we must get rid of them.

Just look at the millions they’re spending on themselves – flights, personal cars, et cetera. It just demonstrates how wastefully minded the government and MPs are.

The issue is that no one is held accountable!

1945 – Labour elected – 1947 Britain bankrupt
1964 – Labour elected – 1964 Britain bankrupt
1974 – Labour elected – 1976 Britain bankrupt
1997 – Labour elected – 2008 Britain bankrupt
2024 – Labour elected -Britain is 186 billion worse off, and the taxpayers have seen zero benefit, and we all know what’s coming.

But they were elected by idiots!

And why in the world is Rachel Reeves still there? She lied to obtain the position and has failed in every aspect of her employment, yet she is still employed. How worthless must one be before being let go?

These days, our government is similar to the Communist Party. Despite their disregard for the law and their lack of morals, honesty, decency, justice, and integrity, she will not be fired. They have no accountability and literally do as they please!

Robert Jenrick Pictured With Former Nazi Terror Chief

Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick has attended a demonstration organised by a neo-Nazi party and posted a picture of himself with the founder of a terror organisation.

Jenrick went to a gathering hosted by the Homeland Party in Epping on Sunday night. Callum Barker, a neo-Nazi member of Homeland who has a history of supporting racism and terrorism, spoke at the event.

Jenrick later posted images of himself with demonstrators, which included Eddy Butler, one of the founders of the neo-Nazi terror gang Combat 18. The numerals in Combat 18 refer to the first and eighth letters of the alphabet, referencing the name of Adolf Hitler.

After the demonstration, Butler posted a photograph of himself standing directly behind Jenrick with the text, “At the Bell Hotel, riding shotgun for Robert Jenrick.”

The Epping Says No Facebook page, which is run entirely by Callum Barker, was used to coordinate the protest.

According to police, the demonstration began outside the Bell Hotel at 4 pm. Residents noted that Jenrick was present between approximately 5 pm and 6 pm, when he spoke to demonstrators and posed for photos.

Shortly afterwards, Jenrick posted a photograph showing him talking to a woman holding up a t-shirt with the words “Send them home” on it, while former Nazi terror chief Eddy Butler is pictured in the background. Jenrick’s post included the text, “Great to be with peaceful, patriotic protestors in Epping today.”

At 6.10 pm, the protesters marched into the centre of Epping, where Barker addressed the participants. It is unclear whether Jenrick joined the demonstration.

During his address, Barker claimed, “In Epping, we’ve been the spearhead of these protests. We’ve been leading the way and leading the charge.” The demonstrators responded by singing, “Callum is a hero! Callum is a hero!”

The involvement of Barker is known to the local Conservative Party, with leading local Tory Holly Whitbread previously criticising Reform councillor Jaymey McIvor for joining one of the earlier Sunday demonstrations and “standing next to a neo-Nazi”. Whitbread, who is a councillor and cabinet member on Essex County Council for Epping and Theydon Bois, said, “My grandad and my grandad’s generation fought in a war against these people.” She continued, “These people do not talk for Britain. They’re not British values. I think, quite frankly, anyone who stands side with side with them should hang their heads in shame. It’s disgraceful.”

Barker has posted images that reference the numerical code “1488”. This code was invented by the US neo-Nazi terrorist David Lane, who was involved in the killing of a Jewish radio host in 1984. The “88” denotes the phrase “Heil Hitler”, because H is the eighth letter of the alphabet. The “14” refers to 14 words: “We must secure a future for the white race and also for white children.”

Barker’s centrality to the organisation of the demonstrations became well known after Stand Exposed It Up To Racism in late July. Reporters from The Times went to the demonstrations in Epping to confront Barker on his involvement in Homeland, and the video of this interaction was later publicised by the newspaper.

Barker was also questioned over images he had posted online of himself sporting a leather mask and holding up the manifesto of Ted Kaczynski, a US terrorist who killed three people during a 17-year reign of terror.

Butler helped to establish Combat 18 as the security detail of the British National Party in the early 1990s. However, he was subsequently allegedly stabbed by Combat 18 members during an internal feud inside the BNP.

Butler was closely associated with a clique of senior figures in the BNP who organised around The Patriot, an internal magazine. The editor of The Patriot was Nazi terrorist Tony Lecomber, who was injured in 1986 while trying to use a nail bomb. Police subsequently recovered two grenades and seven petrol bombs from his house. He was jailed for three years, but had to go back to prison for an attack on a Jewish schoolteacher in 1991.

Butler went on to be National Elections Officer for the BNP after leading the party’s “Rights for Whites” campaign in 1993, which saw it win a council seat on the Isle of Dogs.

In January 2025, the government designated Combat 18 as an alias of the Blood & Honour group, saying there are “reasonable grounds” to suspect it of “being involved in terrorist activities through promoting and encouraging terrorism, seeking to recruit people for that purpose and making funds available for the purposes of its terrorist activities”.

Combat 18 has a lengthy history of involvement in murders and terror. Combat 18 leader Charlie Sargeant was convicted of the murder of Christopher Castle in Harlow in 1997. The organisation also has connections to the 1999 London nail-bombing attacks and the assassination of German politician Walter Lübcke in 2019.

The group uses the Totenkopf – the skull symbol associated with Hitler’s SS – as its logo.

Jenrick’s participation in the protest lends legitimacy to an expanding fascist movement that targets refugees in the South East and nationwide.

Numerous participants in Sunday’s Epping demonstration had been at a protest earlier in the day in Canary Wharf, where men in balaclavas fought with police outside asylum-seeker accommodation at the Britannia Hotel.

The demonstrators chanted “Free Channay”, a reference to a woman who was arrested outside the hotel earlier in the week on suspicion of threatening a security guard and possession of a meat cleaver.

The men then blocked a bridge in Canary Wharf and chanted “Spartans”, the name of a group of masked men who tried to force entry to migrant hotels and put English flags on lampposts under the cover of darkness in East London, Hertfordshire and Essex.

During the protest in Epping, several men also chanted “Spartans”, indicating they had been at both demonstrations that day.

The Epping demonstration was also attended by Liam Gillett – also known as Liam Tuffs – a far-right podcaster and close friend of Tommy Robinson. Gillett is the boss of a security firm and organises security teams for Tommy Robinson’s events.

Labour is ruining this country; thus, we need strong leadership and some sort of reform in the UK to stop this rot.

Starmer and his cronies are so busy tarting themselves up with freebies that they don’t have time for the good British people of England, and Starmer has no intention of ‘smashing the gangs.’ And it seems like it’s all planned – it’s not random.

We are being invaded purposely with our government’s full knowledge!

We don’t want Nazis in this country, of course, we don’t, but something has to give because this is not our country anymore. We should be worried about the danger of illegal migrants to our children, but that does not make us racist; it just makes us fearful.

We most definitely do not want our kids to live next door to men from a developing nation who entered the UK illegally and about whom we know very little.

In the UK, people are naturally afraid of strangers. We are only concerned about our kids, and with good reason. It’s not a phobia. Still, our lives are being profoundly impacted by these strangers, and the crossing of these migrants in the English Channel is a national security emergency.

This issue isn’t about migration. It’s about sexual violence, paedophilia, patriarchy and systematic police failures.

There’s nothing racist about caring for one’s family.

Angela Rayner said that she wanted to see communities coming together. The problem is that people who come to our land never want to integrate into the British way of life, and now everyone has to bend to their dogma.

Rayner is way out of depth. The same can be said of Starmer because he has now bitten off more than he can chew, and both are presently like wide-eyed rabbits in the headlights.

Sadly, our voices are in the wilderness, and it’s likely to remain that way for some time to come.

Whenever Rayner is asked a straightforward question about mass illegal immigration, her reply – there wasn’t one. She was questioned about decent ordinary members of the public being extremely concerned about mass immigration – her reply – there wasn’t one.

Like all politicians, when a question is asked, they never give an answer. I don’t condone the way some of these protests are carried out, but how else are the government going to take notice of how the British People are feeling at the moment? The vast majority of us are fed up with the way things are going. I’m not at all racist, and I believe that many ethnic British People are also fed up. The Labour government have got it all wrong, again. This time they only got in because the majority wanted rid of the lacklustre Tories. The 5 minutes they have been in power has shown their true colours. If I were 40 years younger, I would stick two fingers up at this country and immigrate to one of the few Commonwealth countries we’ve got left. This Country, of ours, has unfortunately gone to the dogs.

Caught In The Crossfire Of A Turkish Gang War

Shot in the head while eating dinner with her family, she was the nine-year-old victim of one of London’s most vicious gang wars. 

The girl had been sitting inside a Turkish restaurant in Dalston, east London, when a gunman on a motorbike opened fire on three rivals sitting nearby. One of the six bullets lodged in her brain, leaving her with potentially lifelong health complications.

Javon Riley, 33, who helped organise the drive-by shooting, has now been convicted at the Old Bailey of four counts of attempted murder in what prosecutors described as ‘a planned assassination of members of a rival gang, Mr Riley and others’. 

Those ‘others’ are the Tottenham Turks, sworn enemies of their Turkish adversaries, the Hackney Bombers. The three men, Mustafa Kiziltan, Kenan Aydogdu and Nasser Ali – who all survived – were allegedly affiliated with the Bombers, or ‘Bombacilars’. The gunman is still at large with a £15,000 bounty on his head.

While undoubtedly the most shocking outbreaks of London gangland violence in recent memory, the horrific events of May 2024 were just one episode in a long vendetta between the two gangs that has claimed at least eight lives in the capital.

And with the conclusion of Riley’s trial, the Daily Mail can now reveal a possible ninth victim, Erdal Ozmen, a father of two shot dead in Stoke Newington on August 5 – who a close friend quickly identified as a bomber’s member. 

The 45-year-old was described as one of the mob’s ‘top boys’, and was previously convicted of attempted murder for his role in the 2003 shooting of a Turkish man outside a petrol station in Tottenham.

Many members of the local Turkish community were ready to blame the Tottenham Turks for Mr. Ozmen’s death when the Mail asked who was responsible. How many more victims could this violent conflict claim, and what started it?

The long vendetta between the Hackney Bombers and Tottenham Turks has its roots in a fight for control over the UK’s lucrative heroin trade, which is dominated by Turkish criminals. 

While there have been more than 35 major flare-ups between the two gangs – including 20 shootings and three murders – those involved have mostly escaped the glare of publicity due to the perception that their crimes are ‘bad on bad’ (criminals attacking other criminals). 

However, this is now changing, when their fight destroyed the life of a helpless girl.

The Hackney Bombers have their roots in a drug empire established by Huseyin Baybasin, 67, who was dubbed the ‘Pablo Escobar of Europe’ after taking control of much of the heroin being exported from the poppy fields of Afghanistan in the 1970s.

He is presently serving a life sentence in the Netherlands after convictions for drug trafficking and conspiracy to murder in 2001.

Following his conviction, the family business was taken over by his younger brother, Abdullah Baybasin, 64, who is confined to a wheelchair after being shot in the spine by a rival.

According to reports, he worked as an informant for UK Customs and M15, providing information about senior Turkish politicians involved in the drug trade. 

In return for this, he was permitted to move to Britain in the mid-1990s along with other high-ranking associates and was finally given political asylum.

But embarrassingly for the British officials, their prized informer established himself within the north London Turkish community and waged a reign of terror, recruiting young thugs known as ‘The Bombacilar’ [bombers] to extort businesses and gain control of the drugs trade.

At one point, Abdullah and his brothers, who originate from south-east Turkey, were said to be controlling 90 per cent of the UK’s heroin market.

He conducted his operation from a shop in Hackney but lived in a grand detached home he together purchased with them in the wealthy Canons Drive Estate of Edgware, north London, which they still own.

Over the years, they have frequently clashed with the Tottenham Turks as part of a gang war that has extended across Europe – reportedly leading to more than 20 murders. 

One of the Tottenham Turks’ former leaders was Hayri Goztas, who, behind the facade of a hardworking cafe owner in Green Lanes, north London, served as the ‘godfather’ of one of Britain’s biggest drug smuggling operations. He was known as ‘Aga’, or Turkish for leader.

In 2012, he was sentenced to 16 years’ imprisonment for importing up to £1 million worth of heroin per week following a National Crime Squad undercover operation. 

Turkish community sources say he has been released and is still in the UK, even though a judge ordered his deportation following his sentence.

Another leader, Kemal Eren, who is nicknamed Parmaksiz, which means ‘No Fingers’ in Turkish, escaped the UK in 2012 after the slaying of another Bombacilar mobster.

Izzet Eren, another prominent leader of the Tottenham Turks, was apprehended in Moldova two years ago after he escaped from a Turkish prison.

Eren was jailed for 21 years in 2015 for firearms crimes in London – but had been moved to a prison in Turkey in 2019.

Senior members of both mobs were targeted in the cycle of violence.

Tottenham Turks members shot and killed Ali Armagan in 2012, a high-ranking Bombacilar member, as he sat in his custom-built Audi A8 limousine outside Turnpike Lane underground station.

Just weeks earlier, Zafer Eren, 34, who had connections with the Tottenham Turks gang, was shot dead in Southgate, north London.

Oktay Erbasli, 23, a prominent member of the Tottenham Turks, was shot dead as he waited at traffic lights in his Range Rover when a hitman on a motorbike connected to the Bombacilar gang pulled up alongside him and opened fire.

On one occasion, armed thugs clashed with each other in broad daylight along Green Lanes in Haringey, resulting in the death of one gang member and dozens injured.

The brutal slaying of a Turkish radio DJ in 2023 is also thought to be connected to the vendetta.

Mehmet Koray Alpergin and his girlfriend, Gozde Dalbudak, were kidnapped in central London last October.

Mr Alpergin, 43, was beaten, throttled, burned and stabbed before his body was dumped in an Essex woodland.

Two men were found guilty of his killing last December, with the court told that ‘international organised crime’ was at the heart of the case.

Despite the ‘Mr Bigs’ of both gangs being pursued by police, their vast criminal operations remain intact with little sign that British justice has made any inroads into their activities.

Abdullah was incarcerated for 22 years in 2006 after admitting to blackmail and perverting the course of justice, and a further 10 years, to run consecutively, after being found guilty of drug smuggling.

His trial at the time heard that he was head of a £10 billion operation criminal organisation involved in extortion rackets, human trafficking, prostitution, loan sharking, money laundering and drug trafficking.

However, he was exonerated after a retrial at Woolwich Crown Court, where a judge determined that a conviction would be risky due to the absence of prosecution evidence.

He has recently been photographed in Spain. Another brother, Mehmet, 59, is presently serving a 30-year prison sentence after being sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court in 2011 for attempting to import a 40-tonne shipment of cocaine into the UK with a Merseyside gang.

Following Riley’s conviction, Metropolitan Police Detective Inspector Ben Dalloway said: ‘Javon Riley’s actions traumatically altered the trajectory of a little girl’s life. While this outcome serves as a sliver of justice, the dangerous individual responsible for pulling the trigger remains on our streets.

‘Those who ordered this shooting are a highly sophisticated criminal organisation. We understand that people may be worried about talking to us because of this, but it is imperative we hear from anyone who can assist this investigation.

‘Justice must be secured for this little girl and her family.’

The girl’s mother said in a statement: ‘In a single moment, the future we had imagined for our daughter was torn away. She was once an energetic, adventurous child—everything that celebrated movement, energy, and life.

‘Now, weakness on her left side means she can only watch from the sidelines, living with a titanium plate in her skull and a bullet still in her brain. As parents, we are shattered—emotionally, physically, mentally, and financially.

‘Each day brings new challenges, from her slower growth on one side to the emotional and mental scars that cannot be seen. The world we once believed was safe for our child now feels frightening and uncertain.

‘This was not just an accident – even if our daughter was not the intended target, those responsible were still attempting to take lives, it is brutal and inhumane. We live with this pain every day, knowing nothing will ever be the same for our family.’

Our politicians don’t appear to like the UK or its people, and the country has a weak judiciary and a police force that welcomes foreign criminals.

These days, crime and drug use are rife in London and other cities, and we have become a soft touch in the UK with our human rights lawyers defending them – they all need to be deported, but that’s what happens when our government authorises mass immigration.

And why do both immigrant criminals and gang members escape deportation after their first offence? Human rights should be denied to them if they commit crimes like murder; if they act like monsters, they should be treated as such.

With their Turkish supermarkets, barbers, restaurants, and coffee shops, we now know where the majority of these migrants make their living. It’s known as legalising and cleansing the money.

How does our Prime Minister sleep at night? And how can he be proud of what this country has become? And what is he afraid of?

Angela ‘Two Homes’ Rayner

Angela Rayner has been accused of using national security laws to hide the fact that she has the option of three bathrooms in her taxpayer-funded grace-and-favour home.

The Deputy Prime Minister’s officials refused to answer a Parliamentary question about the number of bedrooms in her London residence in Admiralty House, for security and operational reasons’.

However, the Conservatives have discovered through Freedom of Information laws that she enjoys the use of three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The disclosure is part of a wider endeavour by the Tories to establish whether Ms Rayner is paying her own council tax surcharge on second homes at Admiralty House. 

She became known as ‘Two Homes Rayner’ last year after it was revealed she had shuttled between two Right-To-Buy council properties early in her marriage. It was claimed that she rented out her house while living in her husband’s property. 

No wrongdoing has been found against Ms Rayner.

Her current council tax payment location is unknown.

Records of MPs’ expenses demonstrate that when she entered government, Ms Rayner designated her Ashton-under-Lyne constituency home as her ‘primary residence’, and a London flat she used to rent as her second.

That allowed her to claim back the £1,621 council tax bill on the flat from the taxpayer as one of the housing costs reimbursed by Commons authorities. 

But, having moved into Admiralty House four months before her Local Government Department began imposing an additional 100 per cent council tax charge on second homes, if the Ashton-under-Lyne property is still her primary residence, the £2,034 council tax bill for her grace-and-favour home – and for which she is now liable – doubles to £4,068.

Shadow Cabinet Office minister Mike Wood said: ‘It’s a scandal that Rayner tried to use national security laws to prevent the public from knowing she has three bathrooms all to herself. 

‘She claims to be a woman of the people, but this exposes how out of touch she has become… Rayner must use this opportunity to come clean on her council tax bill on this residence.’

A spokesman for Ms Rayner said: ‘Angela has two teenage sons and the flat she has been allocated has enough room for them to be able to stay with her… That’s hardly surprising and most certainly isn’t unprecedented.’

Oh, how quickly ministers and MPs forget their roots once they get into government and experience the gravy train first-hand.

This woman didn’t make it by education or experience. She is only where she is because of being the loudest mouth in the room.

This hypocrisy lies here with Angela Rayner and her condescending philosophy, ‘Do as I say, not as I do.’

The UK is now like a communist country, where the peasants live in poverty while the elite make a fortune and live in luxury!

How easily they forget honesty and openness when they are receiving taxpayer funds. Rayner indeed has her snout deep in the trough.

She’s just another Labour politician who acts like a child in a candy store, grabbing two or three of everything because she believes it’s free. If she were to become the next prime minister, can you imagine what her hands could grasp?

The majority of the Labour Party is made up of nasty hypocrites, like Angela Rayner, who take advantage of any freebies and benefits they can while stifling, stomping on, and gagging the rest of us when they can.

Starmer and his clown party have made it abundantly clear that Labour is not a caring party. Voting for Labour would essentially be voting for someone else to have a better life, so if you’re British-born, don’t do it.

Fat Jabs Like Ozempic And Mounjaro Threaten Pensions

The spread of ‘fat jabs’ such as Ozempic could lead to a rise in the state pension age because obese employees will live longer than anticipated, Government advisers have warned.

With more than 1.5 million people now using weight-loss drugs in the UK, the number-crunchers say that actuarial calculations about life expectancy – and therefore the bill faced by the Department for Work and Pensions – will have to be adjusted.

Users of the drugs, which also include Mounjaro and Wegovy, generally lose about 15 per cent of their body weight, leading to knock-on health benefits such as lower cholesterol levels and lowered blood pressure.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting strives to broaden the availability of the drugs on the NHS to reduce the burden on the Health Service and boost employment, claiming that ‘our widening waistbands’ are ‘holding back our economy’.

 

On average, persons who suffer from obesity-related illnesses use four more sick days annually.

But a Government source told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Obviously, everyone can see the health benefits. But some people in the Treasury are worried about the impact on the pension crisis. Obesity is a big killer.

‘And if people are starting to live a lot longer because they’re not overweight, that’s quickly going to become an issue. Especially if we’re going to see it regularly being prescribed on the NHS, as Wes is advocating.’

The state pension age will officially increase next year from 66 to 67, and then again to 68 between 2044 and 2046 – although increasing pressure on public funds means an impending pension review by Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall could hike that age further.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is facing a £50 billion ‘fiscal hole’ in the public finances she will need to close in Autumn’s Budget: measures considered include tighter inheritance tax rules and an increase in ‘sin taxes’ on tobacco and gambling.

The triple lock protection for the state pension is also becoming a growing burden, with spiking inflation expected to push the total amount to £12,451 next year – a £478 increase from its present level of £11,973. 

According to the predictions, the state pension will cost the Exchequer £151.42 billion that year, £430 million higher than the £150.99 billion bill expected as a result of previous Bank of England inflation forecasts.

Mr Streeting hopes the weight-loss jabs will lessen the burden on the NHS’s budget, which will increase by 3.3 per cent next year to £192 billion.

So, there is concern about having to finance older British citizens, but nothing about financing migrants who come to our shores.

The UK is losing a lot of money because of migrants.

In the financial year 2023/24, the expense of operating the UK’s asylum system grew to £5.4 billion, mainly due to increased reliance on hotel accommodation for asylum seekers. 

The Home Office expected to spend £482 million on immigration enforcement in 2023-24.

What was the amount paid for the Rwanda Scheme before it was abandoned?

Payments were intended to support economic development in Rwanda. The total of £270 million was paid into the Exchange-Traded Investment Fund. This breaks down to £120 million in April 2022, £100 million in April 2023 and £50 million in April 2024 to 2 December 2024.

The Government’s impact assessment of the Illegal Migration Act 2023 estimated that the cost of providing public services to a UK national was about £12,000 per person, according to Hansard. This implies a substantial expense of supporting an expanding population.

But our government will use any excuse to dodge paying their own citizens a pension because they’re plunging to new levels of low.

RODENT RAMPAGE!

Horrific footage reveals how rats have invaded an entire block of flats in London and turned it into a ‘Victorian Britain hellhole slum’.

Frightened residents are fleeing the block and moving out after feeling neglected and abandoned by the housing association responsible.

The footage shows dozens of rats scurrying across the walls and fixtures of a bin and utility room in Crystal Court, Hackney.

Families living there say they ‘constantly’ see the vermin and hear them during the night, leaving them unable to sleep.

Families say they have spent more than four years begging the housing association, Notting Hill Genesis, to rid the block of the rats.

Destin Domokundi, a 22-year-old student who has lived there with his mother since 2012, said the ‘disgusting’ issue had been raised ‘over and over’ with the management.

He said: ‘It’s been an issue for years, not just recently.

‘This became an issue four years ago. It’s gotten really intense recently. People have been scared to go into the bin room.

‘Even myself, I’m not queasy around rats, but it’s too much for me. You have to give the door a little tap to spook them before you go in.

‘I feel they are making their way up the stairs. I can hear them in the ceiling.’

Another resident, who has lived in the property for 13 years and pays more than £900 a month for her flat, says she is kept awake at night by the sound of rats scurrying above her ceiling.

She said: ‘I can hear them in the walls. It’s mostly at night – but even in the day, you hear packs of them scurrying about. 

‘It has been affecting my mental health – I haven’t had a full night’s sleep in over a year. It’s awful.

‘Next door had a leak really bad because rats bit through the pipes. So they had to move out for a year.’

Crystal Court says it found no evidence of a link between pest issues and damage to pipework. 

The resident, who requested not to be named, showed emails about the rat issue to the block’s management officer from August 2024. 

She said that pest control attended last year to lay down traps, but the problem has become increasingly dire since then.

In order to set more traps and secure the bin room, pest control has now returned. Only on weekends could people use the facility to fill up their gas supply meters because it was locked throughout the week.

Mum Pauline Aldred, 46, who has lived there for two years, said: ‘It’s absolutely horrific. It’s like a horror movie. I cry myself to sleep sometimes at how bad it is.

‘I am terrified of rats and any vermin. This is the worst situation I have ever been through in my life. It’s utter hell. The housing association has not helped.’

Another local said, ‘It’s the pits. It’s like a Victorian Britain hellhole slum.

‘It’s third world. This should not be Britain in 2025. It’s disgusting.’

A housing manager visited the block earlier in the week – and blamed the rat situation on residents not properly disposing of their rubbish, according to residents.

One resident said: ‘They have said the other block’s bin room is spotless, and they have a rat problem too.

‘I think the problem is a vicious cycle. I think that people just open the door and throw the rubbish in because they are scared to go in.

‘Once a year, we have the housing officer come around. No disrespect, but she’s quite young. She doesn’t understand.’

Destin added that the rat infestation is just one problem of many facing the block’s beleaguered residents.

He said: ‘I feel that a proper renovation of the bin room would be a good first step. We haven’t heard anything from them. The whole estate is a mess. 

‘The lift barely works. Post turns up weeks after it’s supposed to have been delivered. We used to have a cockroach problem in the early 2010s.’

Notting Hill Genesis houses about 130,000 people in London and the south-east.

A spokesperson for Notting Hill Genesis said: ‘We are tackling ongoing pest issues at Crystal Court and apologise for the impact this has had on our residents whilst we have been working to resolve matters.

‘Household waste left in communal areas has now been cleared, and we have carried out extensive pest control and prevention work within Crystal Court. 

‘Work to clean and remove waste from the bin store has been completed, and cleaning will continue to keep the space sanitary.

‘We continue to work with residents and have advised them to take additional care when disposing of waste to prevent these issues from reoccurring.

We will continue regular communications with residents every two days and continue to support them as we resolve this issue.’

Rats are adept swimmers and frequently live in waterways like canals, which allows them to enter buildings from those regions. Crystal Court in Hackney is located just next to Regent’s Canal.

They can climb well and are known to use sewer systems, which can bring them into homes through drains and other openings. They are especially drawn to urban canals because of the easy access to food, so residents of Crystal Court need to make sure they keep it litter-free, and they don’t leave food around.

Regretfully, the widening wealth and poverty gaps, the pressure to pack as many people into HMOs as possible, the rise in crime, the prevalence of vermin and litter, and the inaction of the political class have made society resemble Victorian times.

City Streets Bare Of Union Jack And St George’s Flags (But Palestine Flags Remain)

A Labour-run council has sparked a significant backlash by ripping down St George’s and Union Jack flags from streets because they ‘could put lives at risk’ – despite Palestinian flags flying high across the city for several months.

Scores of British flags have sprung up on lampposts and buildings across parts of Northfield, Birmingham, in what organisers have described as a ‘patriotic outpouring’.

Before moving on to places like Bartley Green, Selly Oak, and Frankley Great Park, they initially showed up in Weoley Castle.

Weoley Warriors, who are behind the influx of flags, describe themselves as a ‘group of proud English men with a common goal to show Birmingham and the rest of the country of how proud we are of our history, freedoms and achievements.’

The protesters, who have raised £4,000 for flags, poles and cable ties, have defiantly hit back at accusations they are racist and insist they are ‘giving hope to local communities that all isn’t lost and they are not alone.’ 

One member said they had put up the flags because they have ‘had enough’. ‘This country is a disgrace and has no backbone,’ they said. ‘This isn’t racism, it’s frustration at being pushed into a corner and silenced.’ 

However, the row has also worsened after Birmingham City Council confirmed it will start removing flags from lampposts, saying that the additional weight could ‘potentially lead to collapse’ in the future.

The Labour-run council – which is already under fire over its handling of the five-month bin strikes – also claimed those attaching flags ‘could be putting their lives and those of motorists and pedestrians at risk’ despite being up to 25 feet off the ground.

Critics have also pointed out that Palestinian flags have flown across the city, where 29.9 per cent of residents are Muslim, for several months since the war broke out in Gaza.

Reform UK MP Lee Anderson told the Telegraph: ‘This is nothing short of a disgrace and shows utter contempt for the British people. We should be flying our flags with pride. Our nation has a rich history of hospitality, generosity and innovation – something to be celebrated, not condemned.

‘Any elected official who supports removing the British or English flags, restricting personal freedoms or silencing free speech should be removed from office for betraying the very country they serve.’

It coincides with escalating tensions in Britain, as anger over the government’s handling of the small boat issue has grown, leading to dozens of protests outside asylum seeker hotels in recent weeks.

‘Right-wing’ protesters and families – many waving Union Jack flags – have held protests over illegal migrants staying in their towns, with concerns growing after an Ethiopian asylum seeker was charged with sexually assaulting a girl in Epping, Essex.

They have regularly been met by counter-protesters, often led by Stand Up to Racism, resulting in large numbers of activists attending demonstrations across the country.

Birmingham locals have responded to the recent initiative to display flags throughout the city by displaying their own or requesting that their streets be decorated next, sparking a new discussion.

‘We all like the flags. They brighten up the area and they’re not offensive in the slightest,’ one resident wrote on a local Facebook page.

However, the patriotism has also given rise to claims that people in charge are trying to sow discord between the local white British community and other communities.

Northfield is anticipated to be targeted by Reform and independent candidates in next year’s local elections. In the July 4 general election, Labour gained from the Conservatives, but Reform came third with a 21 per cent share of the vote.

Resident Nazia told Birmingham Live that she respected the pride Brits feel about the flag but added: ‘For others, especially minorities like myself, it’s become harder to separate that pride from the undertone of nationalism that sometimes comes with it.’

She said she wasn’t against people celebrating their identity during national events.

‘But I think we all have a responsibility to understand how those actions are perceived by others—especially in a city as beautifully multicultural as Birmingham,’ she added.

‘We’re lucky to live in a place where so many cultures, languages, and communities come together. That should be something we protect, not divide.’

Birmingham City Council has said they intend to remove ‘unauthorised attachments’ on lamp-posts as part of a ‘programme of works to improve street lighting’ in the city. 

They claim those putting them up are putting themselves and others in danger. But it’s understood they do not intend to carry out a mass removal amid fears it could trigger a protest.

A spokesman for the council said: ‘People who attach unauthorised items to lampposts could be putting their lives and those of motorists and pedestrians at risk.

‘Placing unauthorised attachments on street furniture, particularly tall structures like lampposts, can be dangerous.’ 

Jeremy Duthie, from Weoley Castle, supported the flags in his area, saying: ‘My personal opinion is that anyone who has a problem with our national flag being flown is living in the wrong country and should maybe consider living in the country represented by whatever flag they prefer to see flying.’ 

Meanwhile, former West Midlands Police officer Hayley Owens said she was ‘sick of having to apologise for being British’ and insisted there was ‘nothing political about it’.

She denied accusations of racism, adding: ‘People are choosing to live here, in England, and should be proud of that. The flags are not aimed at anyone in a negative way.’ 

One social media user on a Weoley Castle Facebook page added: ‘Every other country flies their flag with pride, but when England/British do it, it’s got to be for racist reasons. Why shouldn’t we be proud of England? It’s the country we live in. Those who have issue with it should leave England and dictate to the next country that they shouldn’t fly their flag either.’

Councillor Simon Morrall, who represents Frankley Great Park on the city council, said it was a ‘clearly peaceful moment’ that ‘residents love’.

He has also written to the council to suggest an ‘amnesty’ on removing any flags until at least the end of August. 

Birmingham City Council is already encountering enormous tension over its handling of the bin strikes, which have plagued the city. The dispute between the council and Unite the Union is still ongoing, with no solution in sight after more than six months.

Rats are now feeding on litter, and locals must live with the smell of decomposing waste.

Last month, another Union Jack row broke out when a 12-year-old schoolgirl was sent home from a culture day celebration for wearing a Union flag dress. The schoolmistress was called on to publicly apologise.

Courtney Wright, 12, was forced to spend a morning in seclusion at Bilton School in Rugby, after staff told her she couldn’t wear her Spice Girls-style dress or make a speech like other pupils.

The straight-A student, who had intended to talk about history and traditions in a discussion she had prepared, was told the dress was unacceptable, withdrawn from her class and left to remain in the school reception until her dad arrived from work to collect her.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer seemed to support Courtney’s choice of attire after his spokesperson said he had always been ‘clear that being British is something to be celebrated’.

The school offered its ‘unreserved apologies’ to the girl, saying it had caused ‘considerable upset to one of our pupils, her family and members of the wider community’.

Everything that is wrong with our nation is brought to light in this article, and anything that Labour touches, they make worse. This is, without a doubt, the most destructive government in my living memory.

I find it incomprehensible that we are unable to fly the British flag. Indeed, provided that you don’t fly it on someone else’s property or in a risky manner, you can.

We must be the only nation in the world that promotes guilt about our national pride and identity.

It’s fine to be accepting of other people, but it’s bad to be too accepting and to apologise for who we are.

When you consider the contributions the UK has made to the fields of science, the arts, engineering, and medicine, all of this is simply absurd. Despite winning global wars, we are not permitted to take pride in our British heritage.

Everyone who is British in the UK should fly their flags with pride because if we don’t, our Labourite councils and Trotsky government will demonise us.

It’s our national flag, be it the Union Jack, the St George’s Cross, the Uy Ddraig Goch, the Saltire or the St Andrew’s Cross, any or all should be allowed to be flown by the people. They should not be hidden away to satisfy people of other nationalities. It’s not about being open and considerate; it’s called having some pride in the country’s history.

These migrants who come to our country and fly their flag should stick it where the sun doesn’t shine, and if they don’t like it, they can always go back to their country, where they can fly their flag.

I have nothing against people flying their own flag, but I do object to being denied the opportunity to fly my own!
