Former talk show host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ellen-degeneres">Ellen DeGeneres</a> has reportedly had it with the United States and has already moved into a home in rural England with her wife Portia De Rossi following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.
Sources with knowledge told <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/ellen-degeneres-moved-great-britain-left-united-states-donald-trump/">The Wrap</a> that the 66-year-old comedian/actress and Rossi purchased the home in South West England &#8212; two hours outside of London &#8212; before voters in America went to the polls and voted to send Trump back to the White House.
An insider reportedly told <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/11/20/ellen-degeneres-and-portia-de-rossi-move-to-england-after-trump-election-win/#continued">TMZ</a> that the main reason for the move was because of Trump’s victory against Vice President Kamala Harris. The two were reportedly &#8220;very disillusioned&#8221; with Trump winning, and immediately decided &#8220;to get the hell out,” a source told the outlet.
Multiple reports also claimed that DeGeneres planned to put up their sprawling estate in Montecito, California, that she bought in 2019, the outlet noted.
During the election, the actress put her support behind Harris and reportedly donated $3,300 to her campaign, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2024/11/20/celebrity-news/ellen-degeneres-and-portia-de-rossi-get-the-hell-out-of-us-after-donald-trumps-presidential-win/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=pagesix&amp;utm_medium=social">Page Six</a> reported. 
“There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!” DeGeneres wrote on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-_1EZcxtj0/">Instagram</a>. “I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president.”

Earlier this year, the former host of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” announced that she was walking away from show business with her final stand-up comedy special for Netflix, “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ellen-degeneres-laughs-off-idea-shes-mean-in-final-stand-up-special">Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval</a>.”

During the special, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ellen-degeneres-announces-final-stand-up-special-premiere-date">DeGeneres</a> laughed off the idea that she was ever mean after being canceled due to “toxic” workplace claims on her talk show after 19 seasons. A Buzzfeed report published in 2020 about “The Ellen Show” claimed it was a “toxic” workplace — full of intimidation and even alleged sexual abuse.
“Alright, let me catch you up on what’s been going on with me since you last saw me,” DeGeneres said in the special. “I got chickens. … Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business for being mean.”
At one point, she talked about how this was her second ousting from show business, the first being in 1997 when she came out as a lesbian.
“Kicked me out before because I told them I was gay. No gay people in show business. They kick you out. Can’t be gay and be in show business,” Ellen joked. “Eventually they’re going to kick me out a third time for being old — mean, old, and gay, the triple crown.”
Near the end of the hour-plus special, DeGeneres looped back around again to being labeled mean and said that she&#8217;d &#8220;spent an entire lifetime trying to make people happy. And I’ve cared far too much what other people think of me.”
“So after a lifetime of caring, I just can’t anymore. So, I don’t,” DeGeneres said. “I have a choice of people remembering me as someone who is mean or someone who is beloved … beloved, I chose that.”
DeGeneres closed the show by saying, “I’m so glad I got to say goodbye on my terms.”

A powerful doctor who believes in pushing controversial <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender</a> procedures onto children is withholding a taxpayer-funded study that she conducted because the results do not support her far-Left agenda.
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/23/science/puberty-blockers-olson-kennedy.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that physician Johanna Olson-Kennedy started the multi-million dollar study in 2015 after she recruited nearly a hundred children from across the country to participate.
The children were given puberty blockers in hopes that the drugs would &#8220;stave off the permanent physical changes — like breasts or a deepening voice — that could exacerbate their gender distress, known as dysphoria,&#8221; the report said.
The children were monitored for two years to see if the treatments improved their mental health, the report said.
Researchers found that the puberty blockers &#8220;did not lead to mental health improvements,&#8221; the report said.
Olson-Kennedy claimed to the newspaper: “They’re in really good shape when they come in, and they’re in really good shape after two years.”
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1729077615157000&amp;usg=AOvVaw17Kprl74oE9DYOLREdiBPU">MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28</a>
However, her explanation of why the study did not produce the results she wanted is contradicted by what she and other researchers said at the start of the trial when they concluded &#8220;one quarter of the adolescents were depressed or suicidal before treatment,&#8221; the report said.
Olson-Kennedy’s team has not published the data from the study that began nine years ago because &#8220;the findings might fuel the kind of political attacks that have led to bans of the youth gender treatments in more than 20 states,&#8221; the report said.
“I do not want our work to be weaponized,” she said.
She did not want the findings from the study to be included in court cases where people are fighting to protect children from the destructive life-altering drugs and procedures, the report said.
She claims that she is going to publish the data eventually, but claims that she can&#8217;t right now because the NIH has cut some of its funding, the report said. She claimed that the funding was cut for political reasons, which the NIH said was not true.
Amy Tishelman, a clinical and research psychologist at Boston College who was one of the study’s original researchers, told the Times that the information needed to be published: “I understand the fear about it being weaponized, but it’s really important to get the science out there.”
Dr. Hilary Cass, a pediatrician who conducted an extensive review this year of transgender services in England, said that the delay in publishing the results had led the public to think that the treatments were safe and effective &#8220;even though scant evidence backed up that conclusion,&#8221; the report said.
England’s National Health Service (NHS) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nhs-england-permanently-bans-puberty-blockers-from-being-prescribed-to-minors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> in March that it was banning giving puberty blockers to children.
It is now <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/weak-evidence-britains-nhs-to-review-all-transgender-treatment-after-major-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reviewing</a> all transgender treatments after finding &#8220;weak evidence&#8221; supporting their use.

Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Alicia Silverstone</a>’s followers are begging for her to provide an update after she posted a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tiktok">TikTok</a> video of herself ingesting what appears to be poisonous berries on Monday night.
The video caption <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@aliciasilverstone/video/7404981177574067499">says</a>, “What the heck is this!? I’m in England and can’t figure it out.”
Silverstone shared the clip of herself walking the streets of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/london">London</a> and foraging a yellow berry out of someone’s yard. “OK, I’ve discovered something that I can’t figure out what it is and I need your help,” the 47-year-old actress began.
She held up the small orange-red fruit and continued, saying, “I just bit into it because it was on the street, and we were discussing whether this was a tomato or not.”
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1724211156439000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2-L2DitSaIUj5wz8v0bgxx">Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you.</a>
“It’s definitely not because look at these leaves,” Silverstone said while including a shot of the bush she plucked the berry off of. “Those are the leaves, so what the heck is this?”
The “Clueless” star took a bite of another berry and said, “I don’t think you’re supposed to eat this. It’s almost like a pepper. Does anybody know what this is? I don’t know what it is; I need somebody to tell me. I’m in England.”
Followers flooded the comments with messages of concern, pointing out that the berry she was questioning looked a lot like solanum pseudocapsicum, otherwise known as a “Jerusalem cherry” or a “winter cherry.” 
This toxic nightshade species can cause <a href="https://www.poisonsinfo.health.qld.gov.au/plants-and-mushrooms/jerusalem-cherry-solanum-pseudocapsicum#:~:text=All%20parts%20of%20the%20plant,Death%20has%20been%20reported.">symptoms</a> including fever, sweating, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, and increased heart rate when ingested, especially when the fruit is unripe.
Symptoms may be delayed and persist for several days. While ingesting these berries is not usually fatal, death is possible. 
“WOMAN! UPDATE US. ARE YOU ALIVE AND WELL!?!” one popular comment says. 
Many others urged for a follow-up post, with one TikTok user writing, “Okay it is 7am in England, can you give us an update PLEASE. just a quick ‘hey I’m okay!’”

Plenty of other followers questioned Silverstone on her decision to eat something without having any idea what it was.
“Girl! berries are either great or freaking poisonous! Don&#8217;t eat rando bush-things,” one commenter wrote.
“More to the point- Why are you eating random things from someone’s garden?!” another follower agreed. 
“You bit into something you don’t know what it is? On the street!!?” a third echoed.
As of Tuesday morning, the actress had not posted any additional videos on TikTok.

“Think before you post!”
So reads the <a href="https://x.com/GOVUK/status/1821502879590494358" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warning</a> issued by the UK government, advertising a far-reaching crackdown on expression on Twitter amidst volatile unrest breaking out across England.
The Director of Public Prosecutions took to Sky News to caution the nation that he had police officers dedicated to “scouring social media” to “look for this material [incitement to racial hatred], and then follow up with identification, arrests, and so on and so forth.” Already, two perpetrators have been <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/jordan-parlour-facebook-user-jailed-for-riot-related-social-media-posts-13193894" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charged and sentenced</a> for their tweets – both guilty of blatantly inciting violence, calling on rioters to burn down a hotel housing migrants.
Incitement to violence has long been illegal, and should be wholly rejected even by ardent free speech absolutists.
But the newfound zeal of the government for <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/met-police-chief-sir-mark-rowley-says-two-tier-policing-claims-complete-nonsense-and-putting-officers-at-risk-13192393" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prosecuting</a> online expression could soon slide into the restriction, or even criminalization, of peaceful speech.
Keir Starmer has indicated an intention to beef up the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/14/uk-considers-tougher-online-safety-act-after-uk-riots-musk-comments.html#:~:text=The%20Online%20Safety%20Act%20is,their%20platforms%20of%20illegal%20content." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Online Safety Act</a>, set to go into force in early 2025. The Act, introduced last year under a Conservative government, sets a new and unprecedentedly low standard for prosecuting speech, making it a crime to share information known to be false, with the perceived intent to cause “harm.” The original text of the bill was stripped back after public outcry that the law would require social media companies to remove “legal but harmful” speech from their platforms, in a clear violation of the right to freedom of expression. But Starmer is reportedly considering re-introducing the same requirement, setting the threshold for criminality based on words alone to the lowest in modern history.
Harm is in the eye of the beholder, and one can only imagine the manipulative misuse of the term to target and silence those with minority beliefs. Without clear parameters as to which speech falls within the bounds of the government’s definition of “harmful,” and a punishment awaiting companies who fail to comply, social media empires are likely to bend towards a cautious approach: deleting expressions which might, possibly, be offensive to somebody somewhere.
The cautious cull has already begun. Richard Dawkins said his Facebook account <a href="https://x.com/RichardDawkins/status/1819389197222138210" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was deleted</a> this week after he made an argument that males should not compete in women’s sports. Legal? Certainly. True? Absolutely. Harmful? Only according to the shrouded perceptions of an ideologically-biased Meta, who have obviously turned a blind eye to the actual physical and psychological harms inflicted upon women who are made to take punches from competitors with XX chromosomes in a boxing ring, and concede their medals in biologically-rigged races.
Of course, social media content can be horrid. Nobody likes mean tweets. But one need only look across the world to see the authoritarian horrors visited upon citizens when these vague, far-reaching bans on free speech are implemented.

Take Finland. Parliamentarian <a href="https://adfinternational.org/campaign/free-speech-on-trial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Päivi Räsänen</a>, a former government minister and grandmother, has been on trial for “hate speech” for a 2019 Bible-verse tweet which simply questioned her Church’s involvement with a Pride event. She was charged under the Finnish criminal code’s section on “War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity,” carrying a maximum sentence of 2 years imprisonment. With support from ADF International, she is awaiting the Finnish state’s appeal of her prior acquittal at the Supreme Court in Helsinki.
<div id="attachment_780679" style="width: 624px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-780679" class="wp-image-780679 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/08/Not-2-Rodrigo-Ivan-Cortes.png" alt="Rodrigo Iván Cortés.

Or look at Mexico. Former congressman Rodrigo Iván Cortés and sitting congressman Gabriel Quadri have been <a href="https://adfinternational.org/es/casos/rodrigo-ivan-cortes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a> of “gender-based political violence,” and placed on an offenders’ register, for Twitter posts. For expressing their views on biological sex, both have been ordered to publish a court-written apology on X every day for 30 days, 3 times a day, as a form of public humiliation. ADF International are supporting their appeal at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
Meanwhile in Australia, Canadian activist “<a href="https://adfinternational.org/news/billboard-chris-in-legal-battle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Billboard Chris</a>” is soon to face trial for an “X” post he wrote, criticizing the appointment of a radical transgender activist to the WHO’s “panel of experts” set to advise on global transgender policy. Chris, a Canadian, wrote the tweet on the American-based platform, with no reference at all to Australia – yet unelected e-Safety bureaucrats in Canberra have taken it upon themselves to censor the tweet across their country. Both Chris (with ADF International’s backing), and “X”, are involved in a legal battle to restore free speech and unblock the post. Policy-makers who impact the treatment of vulnerable and confused children must surely be open to public critique.

The cases are mounting. Freedom of Tweet has already been squeezed across the world, yet governments are increasingly drawn to passing these authoritarian laws. In Scotland, police were overwhelmed with reports about JK Rowling’s tweeted beliefs when the hate speech law came into effect on 1st April, despite resources already having had to be cut away from dealing with theft and other petty crimes. In Ireland, the government are considering passing a “hate speech” law which could place people in prison for up to five years even for the memes they have on their phone. If implemented in England &amp; Wales, a ban on “legal but harmful” posts on “X” or Facebook will inevitably slide into censorship of unapproved views, giving the state unlimited reach into controlling conversations amongst the public. “Blasphemy laws” in Middle Eastern nations are righteously condemned by European states. We must set a better example – not implement laws to punish heresy against our own dominant societal beliefs of today.

A brief trip back to my native Britain the other week was a depressing experience.
There has been widespread rioting in cities across England following the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-than-a-dozen-people-mostly-children-stabbed-by-17-year-old-male-in-u-k-multiple-fatalities-reported" target="_blank" rel="noopener">murder</a> of three young girls in Southport at a Taylor Swift dance class.
A large number of Brits, I think it is fair to say, are extremely <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/people-have-finally-had-enough-of-the-illegal-immigration-takeover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agitated</a> about uncontrolled (often illegal) immigration. Tens of thousands of migrants have been allowed to flood into the country on small dinghies from France. 1 in 27 people now living in Britain arrived in the past two years. 4 in 10 foreign-born people in Britain have arrived in the past decade. 
There is a palpable sense that nothing in Britain runs the way it should, least of all the criminal justice system.
The number of <a href="https://rapecrisis.org.uk/get-informed/statistics-sexual-violence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recorded rapes</a> in England and Wales in 2023-24 was three times higher than in 2013-14. A recent investigation discovered that across much of the country, the police had not identified a single suspect for neighborhood crimes over the previous three years. Only a few weeks before the unrest erupted, the authorities announced that even violent offenders would be released from prison after serving a mere 40 percent of their sentences.
Then came the riots, and the authorities suddenly discovered that it is possible to arrest and prosecute criminals after all. Prosecutions that would normally take months to come to court were undertaken within a few days. That, plus the return of British rain, seems to have dampened the spirits of the troublemakers.
Instead of clamping down on immigration, or addressing some of the underlying concerns about Muslim integration (or lack thereof), the authorities seem to find it easier to clamp down on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-uks-orwellian-crackdown-on-free-speech-could-be-headed-our-way" target="_blank" rel="noopener">free speech</a>, prosecuting people for obnoxious opinions about either immigrants or Muslims expressed online.
The most senior official in charge of public prosecutions in Britain declared that he has a team of “dedicated police officers scouring social media” to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/uk-police-chief-suggests-he-would-arrest-americans-for-highlighting-british-riots-online" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrest people</a> for posting things that are “insulting” or “abusive”. He even threatened to extradite people to the UK for sharing such material online.
All of this has helped contribute to the now widely held idea that Britain has a “two tier” criminal justice system.
Having cheerfully announced that they would be letting violent criminals out of prison after completing less than half their sentences a few weeks before, the authorities now threaten people with jail time for expressing idiotic views. In Cheshire, the police boasted of arresting a woman for what they called “an inaccurate social media post”.
In order to fully understand why Britain is in such a sorry state it is essential to appreciate what has gone wrong with the country’s judiciary.
Mass immigration has become an explosive issue in Britain because judges have routinely thwarted attempts by successive governments to control it. In 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019, Brits voted repeatedly to end mass immigration. It has not happened because judges have systematically prevented elected governments from controlling the country’s borders.
British judges only ever seem to rule in favor of those who enter the country illegally being able to remain, ruling on the basis of what they think the law should be, not the laws Parliament has passed. 
  
Britain, a once orderly, high-trust society has become increasingly lawless because judges have routinely failed to apply sentences that ordinary Brits would regard as just. It is so commonplace for violent robbers and rapists to be given community sentences, rather than go to prison, it is seldom even reported anymore.
Why are British judges so awful? Because they are unaccountable to the public.
In Britain, judges are appointed, not elected. Until 2006, at least the appointments were made by an elected minister, meaning there was a degree of democratic oversight. 
  
Since 2006, Britain’s judges have been appointed by the Judicial Appointments Commission, a body obsessed about diversity, equity and inclusion, rather than justice. Thanks to Human Rights law, judges are not merely unaccountable. They regard judicial activism as part of their job.
Liberty and order in Britain are collapsing as a consequence.
At some point, we must all hope a new Margaret Thatcher emerges in Britain, someone with the vision and principle to save the country from decline. On its current trajectory, Britain is drifting towards the abyss of a sectarian society.
In 2001, there were one and a half million Muslims in Britain. Today there are 4 million. If even a small percentage of British Muslims adhere to the Islamist teachings of Sayyid Qutb, the Egyptian father of modern violent jihad, the country has a massive problem. Far from addressing the problem, right now Britain is a country that cannot even talk about the fact that it might have a problem.
Any new Thatcher must, as she did, address an underlying British economic malaise. Thanks to net zero energy policies, extraordinary restrictive regulations, high taxes and excessive public spending, the UK has had remarkably little per capita growth over the past decade.
But far more important than fixing the economy, Britain needs a state machinery capable of addressing issues of culture and cohesion. Old assumptions, and long established precedents governing citizenship, will need to change.
For that to happen, the next Thatcher needs to recognize that much of the machinery of the British state is dysfunctional. Reform is overdue.
Judges need to come under some sort of democratic oversight. Senior civil servants must no longer be afforded the luxury of deciding whether to implement policies that clash with their preferences. Those elected to Parliament, not unelected officials, need to be able to decide if the country can afford to cut taxes.
Britain can only be pulled back from the brink by a leader that recognizes that it is time to treat the judiciary and the administrative state as Thatcher once treated the trade unions.

The following is a transcript excerpt from Dr. Jordan Peterson’s interview, alongside his wife Tammy, with British activist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/dw-tommy-robinson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tommy Robinson</a>. In this segment, Robinson explains his unlikely beginning as an activist and shares his firsthand, eyewitness account of atrocities committed against innocent civilians that the media refused to cover. For more from Dr. Peterson, see his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/watch/jordan-peterson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">extensive catalog</a> available on DailyWire+.

Tommy Robinson: In all honesty, I didn&#8217;t want to do this. I didn&#8217;t want to be the person. I wanted to take a stand, but I didn&#8217;t want to. I wanted to be successful in business. I wanted to make money. My passion was making money. I was good at it. We were doing well as a family. But I wanted someone to speak about it.
Jordan B. Peterson: Do you know the parable of the rich man?
Robinson: No. What&#8217;s that?
Peterson: Well, it is a Gospel story. I&#8217;m going to tell it because I see the problem that you are in. There is a scene in the Gospels where Christ is traveling in a cart, and a rich prince jumps in to accompany him, and he tells Christ that he&#8217;s done everything he should do in his life to be a moral person. He has followed the commandments, he honors his parents, and so on. But he is still dissatisfied deep in his soul, and Christ asks him about his situation. He tells Christ he&#8217;s rich, that he has all these concerns going, and Jesus says to him, I&#8217;m afraid you&#8217;re going to have to sell everything you own and follow me. And the disciples are shorted right out by this, and they say, if that is the cost of salvation, who is going to pay that?
I was thinking about that and the story of Jonah at the same time when you were talking because Jonah is called upon by God to speak the truth, and he just heads in the other direction. He thinks exactly like you thought: I don&#8217;t think so. Who would do that? Who wants to do that?
But that still does not quite answer the question; you said that you are caught, right? You are pulled because, on the one hand, you want to have your life and you want to be successful; on the other hand, you want to tell the truth. So the name was a compromise between that.
Robinson: I wore a mask for a year. Almost no one knew who I was for a year.
Peterson: So looking back on that now, do you think that was a mistake that you made to protect your life and your enterprise? I am not saying that was not justifiable because there is a price, obviously, for anonymity. There is a price for not being public. It breeds suspicion, for example. What do you think about that?
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/dw-tommy-robinson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Jordan B. Peterson&#8217;s full interview with Tommy Robinson on DailyWire+</a></h4>
Robinson: So I think the best thing that ever happened was when I got unmasked — the best. It was. Not for me. I was terrified. So there was a Times newspaper reporter called Stephen Bird, and I&#8217;d been hiding for a year. I&#8217;m talking about all these issues secretly on radios, and I&#8217;m giving the name Tommy Robinson, and I&#8217;m turning up to demonstrations with a mask on my face. No one saw my face, so no one knew who I was. So there was lots of confusion. Who is this guy? No one knew. 
And then a Times newspaper journalist turned up at my mum&#8217;s house and said, “Where’s Stephen?” And my mum rang me and said, “There&#8217;s a journalist here looking for you.” And I knew then, ok, this is it. And I went to meet the journalist and he said, “You&#8217;re on the front page of the Times newspaper tomorrow, Stephen. Your life changes tomorrow.” And I was terrified, if I&#8217;m honest. Absolutely terrified. Because then I was nationally known at this point. 
So, we set up United People of Luton, and then after our second protest where we got to the War Memorial, we put the video online. And this Islamic group of jihadists, they held an Islamic roadshow in Birmingham. And they had a big banner that said, “Jesus was a Muslim,” and there&#8217;s hundreds of them. They stop a young 11-year-old white Christian boy called Sean in the shopping center who&#8217;s with his friend, and they get him up on stage and they convert him to Islam. As they convert him to Islam, they&#8217;re all cheering “Allahu Akbar.” And I watched it then from Luton and said, “No, they can&#8217;t do this. That cannot be allowed to happen in a city center for a child.” So I said, “All right lads,” to the lads from Luton, “we&#8217;re going to Birmingham. We&#8217;re going to move this from Luton. This isn&#8217;t a Luton issue. This is a national issue.”
We went to Birmingham, and we formed the English Defence League. And that&#8217;s where the name English Defence League come from. Now, when we went to Birmingham, we went as a group of 50 — 50 men from Luton. We got violently battered. This is where my first awakening to the media come. So, there&#8217;s a picture up. (This boy wasn’t with us.) There’s a young English boy at a bus stop with a green top on and gangs of Muslims just come from everywhere. They battered everyone. And there&#8217;s a picture in the national newspaper, and they&#8217;re jumping on this boy&#8217;s head. And underneath the picture, it says, “A fascist is attacked by anti-fascists.” 
I&#8217;m looking at it, and I remember I had an awakening to everything because I went from working on a building site to six months later leading the biggest protest movement in Europe’s scene. And when we went to Birmingham as a group of 50, we had English Defence League tops on, and it said, “Luton Division,” the name of our town. And these images went everywhere, of English men getting chased and beaten. So this was Birmingham, and our first banner said, “Victims of Jihad in Nigeria. We stand with you,” because obviously, I was down the rabbit hole.
I was seeing on Christmas Day, five [Nigerian] Christian churches were blown to pieces. Didn’t make the BBC news. I was following all these stories around the world of Christians facing persecution at the hands of jihad. No one cared. So we went to Birmingham before, [saying,] “Let’s highlight a lot of issues here. Let&#8217;s make this a point.” And we had banners. We had placards, but we got violently —  The police had to lock us in a building for two hours because they couldn&#8217;t control the streets. Then they got buses and put us on the buses to get us out of there, and all the windows were coming in. There was riots going on. 
So from this, we then went back to Luton, and then we saw a Christian church in Manchester that had been taken over by Muslims, which there’s been another video go viral just weeks ago. Similar situation. It was in the area of Longsight, and they were bulldozing over a Christian graveyard, graves and headstones. So, I was watching it going, they can&#8217;t do this. How come no one&#8217;s talking about this in the town? Where&#8217;s the local political voice? Where&#8217;s the politicians?
Now, we went from a group of 50 men in Birmingham being violently beaten, to going on all the messaging boards of English football clubs, then turned up in Manchester, and when we got there, there was thousands of young Englishmen had come from everywhere. And from the start, because of the violence in Birmingham, the men had come with an attitude of, “No, we&#8217;re not backing down.” So that was sort of the start and the birth of the English Defence League, which every city you went to, there was a justified reason for going there, but no one ever spoke about that.

And then I realized very quickly that everything I&#8217;d seen in Luton, everything I talked about in Luton, was happening in every town and city. So then I started meeting families; their daughters were missing for weeks, and then I started hearing all these stories. And it&#8217;s one thing to read about grooming, and that&#8217;s why I made a five-part series — the one you talked about that you watched — because you don&#8217;t get to feel the pain. I&#8217;m sitting with a mother, a father, and a brother who&#8217;s 13-year-old daughter has been missing for five days, and the police are doing nothing. 
I remember going on big chat shows in 2009. Jeremy Paxman was the most feared BBC presenter, and he had a show called Newsnight. And when I went on, everyone was all our opposition at the time, and I was terrified again. And it was the first time my mum— So my family had been crying since the time I started my activism because my mum was threatened of her job. There was violence, police raids, terrorist plots. So my family were begging me and begging me to stop. And I went on this Jeremy Paxman show. And I said to him, “I don&#8217;t expect you to understand, but I expect you to listen. Our daughters are being taken. They&#8217;re being groomed; they&#8217;re being raped. They&#8217;re being prostituted in every town and city.” And he said, “You expect us to believe…” And it hasn&#8217;t aged well for him at all. Because in the early days, we were condemned as fabricating stories and making this up. So you understand the level where I&#8217;m at.
With the father from Blackpool, the gang took his daughter. The father and the son would ring the phone, and he&#8217;d have to listen while they were raping his daughter. So, we go across the country — and I&#8217;ve done a presentation called “The Rape of Britain,” as well as documentaries — and I go back to us marching through Telford. And now, the arrest rates for these crimes, if you do a graph, there&#8217;s none. The English Defence League forms in 2009. By 2010 and 2011, the arrests are going through the roof. We didn&#8217;t expect any credit for it or any recognition for it, but the government were then faced with something they knew was going on.

An Unlikely Activist: Tommy Robinson On The Unrest In The UK

Jordan Peterson

Protests

Southport is a seaside town in the northwest of England that looks quite a bit different than it did twenty years ago. There used to be a lot of young people living there, for one thing. And back in 2001, only around 4% of the population of Southport said they were born outside the UK. It was a pretty homogeneous place.
Twenty years later, a lot&#8217;s changed. And for the most part, it hasn&#8217;t changed for the better. As a longtime Southport politician named John Pugh <a href="https://www.livpost.co.uk/p/stasis-on-sea-has-southports-grand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">put it</a> recently: “Southport as an entity is struggling.” Southport&#8217;s now much older, mainly because young Britons no longer see much opportunity there. And they&#8217;ve been replaced, in many cases, by foreigners. One in ten residents now voluntarily <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/visualisations/customprofiles/build/#E14000958" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> that they were born outside the UK. And many of them are bringing their religious beliefs with them, as you&#8217;d expect. Mosques — which were once found exclusively in large British cities like London and Birmingham — began <a href="https://religionnews.com/2024/08/01/in-seaside-southport-a-mosque-bears-the-brunt-of-uks-immigrant-anxiety/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">popping</a> up in Southport, as the UK added more than a million Muslims to its population in under a decade.
All of these changes have been accompanied by various indignities along the way. Last year, for example, British officials <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/03/home-office-shelves-plans-house-asylum-seekers-southport-pontins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">floated</a> the idea of housing illegal migrants in Southport&#8217;s holiday park because it would be cheaper than paying for hotels. Illegal aliens had already <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/may/20/asylum-seekers-abused-and-intimidated-by-staff-in-home-office-hotels" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taken over</a> five hotels in the Liverpool area, only to complain that they were being mistreated. And rather than kick these ungrateful foreigners out of the country, Britain&#8217;s government attempted to offer them Southport&#8217;s holiday park as an accommodation, as well.
That episode was a pretty clear indication that Southport&#8217;s decline isn&#8217;t accidental. It&#8217;s deliberate. That&#8217;s why the British government doesn&#8217;t see a flood of illegal immigrants as a problem. They see it as an opportunity to shut down the local park. Every catastrophe is just more evidence that their plan is working. It&#8217;s yet another opportunity to degrade the lives of British citizens even further.
That&#8217;s true even after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-than-a-dozen-people-mostly-children-stabbed-by-17-year-old-male-in-u-k-multiple-fatalities-reported" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the massacre</a> that took place on July 29. Police say a 17-year-old man entered a dance studio in Southport that was hosting a Taylor Swift-themed workshop for young children. Armed with a knife, he allegedly murdered three girls — ages 6, 7, and 9 — and seriously injured 10 others, including eight children. Organizers apparently tried to shield the children, and at least one was critically injured in the attempt.
When a police officer finally arrived, he waited before entering the studio because he only had a baton. Ultimately, after more than a dozen victims had been stabbed, the police went in and arrested the killer. That killer, who police have identified as Axel Rudakubana, was born in Britain to Rwandan parents who migrated to the UK roughly twenty years ago. Police haven&#8217;t provided any more information than that.
Following this deliberate and premeditated attack on children, fed up residents of Southport — and towns all across the UK — began engaging in varying degrees of civil disobedience. In Southport, locals threw objects at police officers and apparently lit a police vehicle on fire last week. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Protests V2" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X29ilJ76z8E?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
100 miles away in Rotherham, locals reportedly stormed a taxpayer-funded shelter for so-called &#8220;asylum seekers,&#8221; which of course is a euphemism for illegal aliens looking to abuse the asylum system:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 More protests" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oPnKcfNXPOA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Competent leaders — people who care about the future of their country — would look at scenes of civil disorder like this and ask themselves why exactly it&#8217;s happening.
It&#8217;s not enough to shake your fist and say that committing crimes during mass protests is a bad thing, although that&#8217;s generally true. That doesn&#8217;t address the problem. To do that, it&#8217;s important to figure out why people are so upset that they&#8217;re willing to commit crimes like this in broad daylight.
Is it because they&#8217;ve bought into years of lies about so-called &#8220;police violence&#8221; against black people, culminating in the false narratives about lifelong criminals like George Floyd, Jacob Blake and many others? That was the impetus for BLM, as we all know.
Or is it because, as was the case with January 6, people didn&#8217;t buy into government lies about lockdowns and mail-in voting and Russian collusion, culminating in an election in which Joe Biden somehow won millions more votes than Barack Obama did in 2008?
Or is it because, as is the case in Southport, people are tired of the decades-long government effort to reengineer the demographics of their entire country? Maybe these people are wondering how the alleged killer&#8217;s Rwandan parents arrived in Britain in the first place. Were they granted citizenship? If so, on what basis? If not, why are they still in the country? Those all seem like reasonable questions.
But Britain&#8217;s government isn&#8217;t answering any questions. Instead, Britain&#8217;s new prime minister Keir Starmer has announced a crackdown on the people who are on the internet saying things that he doesn&#8217;t like. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 Starmer now" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z5F4mNj9BSE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
So Britain is establishing a plan to &#8220;tackle violent disorder&#8221; and to shut down &#8220;thugs.&#8221; And it sounds a lot like he&#8217;s going to use these protests as a pretext to establish a surveillance state. This plan will include &#8220;shared intelligence&#8221; and more &#8220;facial recognition technology.&#8221; It will even include &#8220;preventative action&#8221; to prevent people from committing crimes in the first place, like something out of &#8220;Minority Report.&#8221; And then for good measure, he threatens social media companies with criminal prosecution.
Throughout all of this, Keir Starmer claims that he&#8217;s not motivated in any way by the prospect of shutting down criticism of his country&#8217;s open borders policy. Instead, he says he&#8217;s really upset about civil disorder in general. Any time protests turn to arson or violence, Keir Starmer says he&#8217;s opposed to it. He&#8217;s been explicit about that. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="004 No Two Tier Policing" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JjA2jBAQfiE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
It&#8217;s a &#8220;non-issue&#8221; to say that there&#8217;s a two-tier system of justice, says Britain&#8217;s new PM. It doesn&#8217;t matter what your motivation is. If you commit acts of &#8220;violence&#8221; on the streets, then your behavior won&#8217;t be tolerated.
This is the kind of claim that might be effective if video cameras and the internet had never been invented. As it stands, people can go back four years ago and see exactly what Keir Starmer said about the BLM riots — which caused more than a billion dollars in property damage and resulted in the deaths of at least two dozen people.
If you pull that tape, you&#8217;ll notice that Keir Starmer doesn&#8217;t condemn the violent BLM thugs a single time. He doesn&#8217;t mention the fact that they torched a police station in Minneapolis or a church outside the White House. Instead, he condemns anyone who tries to criticize them, much less arrest them. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="005 Starmer Floyd V2" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/58hGE3qyQQE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Starmer was talking like this several days after BLM protests in London resulted in injuries to more than two dozen police officers. And this was after the BLM violence in the United States. The message is clear: Violence for state-approved purposes is fine. But dissent that humiliates the state, and that exposes its failures, will be crushed. Its proponents will be labeled as sources of &#8220;disinformation,&#8221; and they will be silenced.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1416-the-matt-walsh-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
Even allegedly conservative media in this country, to some extent, are buying into this framing. Fox News for example <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/riots-erupt-uk-stabbing-spree-falsely-blamed-asylum-seeker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported:</a> &#8220;Riots erupt in UK after stabbing spree falsely blamed on asylum seeker.&#8221; Various other outlets have run similar stories. The idea is that, because this killer reportedly was born in Britain to Rwandan parents, the protests must be illegitimate.
Pause for a moment to consider the extraordinary degree of irony here. The same people who tell white Britons and white Americans that they&#8217;re colonizers and oppressors — people living on land that their ancestors conquered hundreds if not thousands of years ago — are now telling these same white Britons and Americans that they have no right to be upset about the flood of third world migrants colonizing their country. Only this is a different kind of colonization. It’s not the straightforward act of a stronger and more civilized society coming in and conquering the place, as has happened historically. Instead, it is colonization by subversion. Colonization orchestrated by the elites of the country that is being colonized. A kind of self-imposed colonization done not for the purposes of spreading civilization — which is why the Europeans colonized — but done for the purpose of destroying civilization. European colonizers brought civilization to uncivilized lands. In this case, uncivilized people are bringing chaos, poverty, and lawlessness to previously civilized societies.
Leftist activists would of course disagree with this characterization. In fact they say that if you stop this unchecked tidal wave of immigration, you would be losing civilization.
There’s a lot of commentary like this from an activist named Bushra Shaikh. She <a href="https://x.com/Bushra1Shaikh/status/1820091502883729749">posted</a>:
<blockquote>Take away the curries and kebabs. Take away the Tea. The coffee. Take away the doctors and nurses. The Ubers and buses. Take away the night workers. Take away the clothes.Take away the cleaners.Take it all away.It&#8217;s all foreign.These racists don&#8217;t understand.They will be left with very little.</blockquote>
Now, I’m a huge fan of curry myself. If I had to give it up in order to have law and order and civilization again, I would. Not a tough trade. But she goes further. She says even clothes and technology and transportation would be gone without the foreigners. We will be left with “very little.”
That’s an odd claim, isn’t it? After all, if all of the good things in life are brought to western countries by foreigners, then what are the foreigners coming for in the first place? If they are bringing everything, why bring it? Why not stay where they are? If western countries need these immigrants in order to thrive, then why aren’t their own countries thriving? That’s strange, you must admit. Apparently the West is gifted property by third world immigrants, and yet these immigrants have not given this gift to their own countries.
In any case, the Left is telling Britons that the son of newly-arrived Rwandan immigrants has every right to live in their country. And how dare you say otherwise. The moment you are born on British soil, you are British and no one can ask a single question about anything — including how your parents got there. Those are the rules now. And as usual, they only benefit people who aren&#8217;t white.

The residents of Southport have had enough of it. The riots we&#8217;re seeing across Britain right now are an inevitable reaction to years of unchecked immigration.
That doesn&#8217;t make the riots a smart strategic response. Strategically, it&#8217;s clear they will backfire. But the frustration and anger is understandable.
And no, the same logic does not apply to BLM. Reasonable people are capable of distinguishing between the BLM riots and the civil disorder taking place in the UK. The BLM riots occurred because the rioters didn&#8217;t like the fact that laws were being enforced. That&#8217;s why they wanted to defund the police. That&#8217;s why they created dozens of race hoaxes involving police officers.
What&#8217;s happening in the UK has the exact opposite explanation. People are revolting against a government that *refuses* to enforce the law. They want the government to fulfill maybe its most basic responsibility, which is to secure the border from foreign invasion.
That&#8217;s why no amount of social media censorship or &#8220;pre-crime&#8221; investigations or finger-wagging from Keir Starmer can change the fact that he now has two options as prime minister. He can commit to ending unrestricted illegal migration into Britain, and deporting illegal aliens currently living in the country. Or he can continue to demonize his own citizens and turn the rest of the UK into Southport. At this point, it&#8217;s clear that both options will lead to some level of unrest and even violence in Britain. The only question now is whether there will be a Britain left at the end of it.

Keir Starmer

Three little girls, aged six to nine, were stabbed to death while attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance party in a small seaside town in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England</a> on July 29.
The suspect, Axel Rudakubana, who is just shy of his 18th birthday, is accused of entering a pregnancy center in Southport, England, and stabbing nearly a dozen children and two adults. Bebe King, 6; Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7; and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, died as a result of their injuries, Sky News <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/boy-17-charged-after-three-girls-killed-in-southport-stabbing-attack-13188115" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Five more children were critically injured, local news outlet Echo <a href="https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/what-know-southport-stabbing-suspect-29639493" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, along with two adults who had stepped in to protect the children.
In the wake of the stabbing, the suspect was falsely accused of being a Muslim asylum seeker, even though he was born in Cardiff, Wales, and moved to Lancashire, England. The belief that an asylum seeker committed the vicious attack led to riots against the influx of immigrants across Britain.
The response to the original murders has outweighed coverage of the crime itself, with media and politicians in the U.K. calling the rioters “far right,” “<a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/watch-rioting-southport-thug-bricks-33362943" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thugs</a>,” and “<a href="https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/counter-protests-planned-this-weekend-following-surge-of-far-right-riots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hooligans</a>.” There are, indeed, extremists amongst the rioters targeting mosques and Muslims. It is also true that a distrust of illegal immigration has been simmering amongst the British people for some time, and has finally erupted.

This is in stark contrast to what Starmer said several years ago, following the death of Minneapolis, Minnesota, resident George Floyd by a police officer, when Starmer said: “Like you I was shocked and angered at the killing of George Floyd and the response of President Trump and the U.S. authorities to the peaceful protest.” Starmer also posted <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/black-lives-matter-keir-starmer-labour-take-knee-george-floyd-funeral-a9557166.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a photo</a> of himself taking a knee in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, which resulted in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/riots-looting-that-followed-george-floyds-death-could-cost-2-billion-most-expensive-incident-in-insurance-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">billions of dollars of damage</a> and the deaths of numerous people, including retired police Captain David Dorn, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/retired-police-captain-was-murdered-while-protecting-his-friends-pawn-shop-during-riots-widow-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who was murdered</a> while protecting his friend’s pawn shop from looters and rioters.

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/united-kingdom">British</a> high court on Monday upheld Britain&#8217;s ban on puberty blockers, hormonal drugs frequently given to pubescent children who express discomfort with their biological gender.
The judge noted puberty blockers were found to have “very substantial risks and very narrow benefits” by the Cass review, the landmark <a href="https://cass.independent-review.uk/home/publications/final-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> commissioned by England&#8217;s National Health Service (NHS).
Transgender medical interventions on children are based on “remarkably weak evidence,” and young people have been caught up in a “stormy social discourse,” Justice Beverley Lang said in her ruling.
Last summer, the NHS issued an emergency ban on puberty blockers after the Cass review recommended halting the powerful drugs due to their effects on brain development and bone health.
“Outside of a research setting, puberty-suppressing hormones should not be routinely commissioned for children and adolescents,” the NHS said at the time.
A group called TransActual, along with an unnamed youth, sued over the government&#8217;s decision, <a href="https://transactual.org.uk/blog/2024/03/12/transactual-statement-on-nhs-englands-decision-to-stop-commissioning-puberty-blockers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling</a> it a &#8220;cruel new element of the war on trans youth.&#8221;
With Monday&#8217;s decision, however, the ban will remain in place.
“Children’s healthcare must be evidence-led,” said Health Secretary Wes Streeting, welcoming the ruling. “We must therefore act cautiously and with care when it comes to this vulnerable group of young people.”
However, Streeting added that he is setting up a clinical trial to establish the evidence on puberty blockers.
&#8220;I want trans people in our country to feel safe, accepted, and able to live with freedom and dignity,&#8221; he said.
Both puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones come with serious health risks. Puberty blockers can <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/in-depth/pubertal-blockers/art-20459075">affect</a> bone growth and density and cause sexual dysfunction, voice damage, and infertility, among other issues. Cross-sex hormones, which can be estrogen or testosterone can <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/transgender-young-people-in-u-s-have-nearly-doubled-recently-report-shows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cause</a> infertility, deadly blood clots, heart attacks, increased cancer risks of the breasts and ovaries, liver dysfunction, worsening psychological illness, and other serious conditions.
The Cass review also warned that children who are referred to gender services come with high rates of abuse and neglect, including sexual abuse and parental substance abuse.
England and several other European countries, such as Finland and Sweden, have pumped the brakes on transgender medical interventions for children.
In April, the Tavistock clinic, England’s only youth gender identity clinic, officially closed its doors after being dogged by controversy for years.
The clinic, the biggest in the world, <a href="https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/health/2024/03/inside-the-collapse-of-the-tavistock-centre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">referred</a> thousands of children for puberty blockers. In its last years, Tavistock began to see an increasing flood of young girls with gender-related distress asking for drugs despite having other mental issues like depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and histories of abuse.
At least 25 U.S. states have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nebraska-supreme-court-upholds-bans-on-abortion-transgender-surgeries-for-minors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> restrictions on transgender surgeries and hormone treatments for minors.

Here&#8217;s a little ancient history that&#8217;s suddenly become relevant again. 39 years ago this month, just ahead of the summer solstice, the Battle of the Beanfield took place in Wiltshire, England. This wasn&#8217;t a &#8220;battle&#8221; in the traditional military sense. It was a violent confrontation between a convoy of around 600 New Age hippies, and roughly a thousand police officers. 
The police officers were there to enforce an injunction preventing the hippies from holding a festival at Stonehenge. That injunction was necessary because, just one year earlier, around 100,000 hippies had — as hippies tend to do — caused tens of thousands of dollars in property damage to trees, fences and several archeological artifacts in the area, including Stonehenge itself.
So, in 1985, the authorities understandably wanted to prevent any more hippie carnage from being inflicted on Stonehenge. They set up a roadblock several miles away to turn the &#8220;New Age travelers&#8221; away. That&#8217;s when, according to the BBC, &#8220;Police said they came under attack, being pelted with lumps of wood, stones and even petrol bombs.&#8221; 
Of course, to this day, the hippies maintain the police were the aggressors. That&#8217;s probably not true, but it certainly appears that the police officers used significant force once mayhem broke out. At one point, the police reportedly threw fire extinguishers and stones at the hippies to keep them from fleeing. In any event, ultimately, two dozen people were hospitalized, and more than 500 hippies were arrested. By most accounts, the Battle of the Beanfield marked the single largest mass arrest in the history of England, at least since World War II.
I mention the Battle of the Beanfield because it illustrates a couple of things. First of all, it demonstrates an obvious point, which is that the use of force by police officers does indeed deter lawlessness. You don’t have to endorse all of the tactics the police used that day in order to see that. In the years after the Battle of the Beanfield, there were still some hippies who tried to throw a festival at Stonehenge for the summer solstice, but it was nothing like what happened in 1985. For the most part, the hippies got the message loud and clear.
The other important takeaway is that, for whatever reason, Stonehenge has long been an object of fixation for antisocial, anti-civilization, anti-human weirdos. Most likely, the interest stems from the mystique of the whole construction. Stonehenge was constructed more than 5,000 years ago without the benefit of the wheel, and it&#8217;s still unclear to archaeologists exactly how the builders pulled that off — or even who exactly the builders were. It&#8217;s one of the most impressive monuments ever built in human history, so it kind of makes sense that listless, uninteresting people would latch onto Stonehenge in a desperate attempt to imbue their own lives with more meaning.
That brings us to the events that took place at Stonehenge yesterday. 
A couple of vandals associated with the group &#8220;Just Stop Oil&#8221; — one aged 73 and the other aged 21 — charged towards Stonehenge and began blanketing it with some kind of orange powder paint. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Spray Paint Stonehenge" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RtBSvmkv2WM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&nbsp;
As you can see, it fell to a tourist to stop these two people from defacing Stonehenge. There were no police officers nearby to immediately detain them, so a random guy on vacation had to step up to preserve one of the most famous structures in the entire world. We&#8217;ve seen this again and again. When vandals <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/national-archives-rotunda-evacuated-climate-activists-dump-pink-powder-case-holding-us-constitution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dumped</a> pink powder on the case containing the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives Rotunda in February, no security guards lifted a finger to stop them. Late last year, activists with Just Stop Oil were able to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/14/just-stop-oil-activists-throw-soup-at-van-goghs-sunflowers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">throw</a> soup on a Van Gogh painting, then glue themselves to the wall, all without anyone intervening. And of course, on too many occasions to count, these kinds of activists have obstructed traffic with impunity. They get away with it so consistently because, at some level, they have the tacit endorsement of the state.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1391-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
I&#8217;ve covered these brats extensively before, but even with all those other incidents in mind, this latest attack on Stonehenge is especially egregious to me. Defacing a monument as ancient as Stonehenge is really an attack on humanity. The fact that Stonehenge is still standing is a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness that&#8217;s hard to comprehend even to this day, thousands of years later. The only people who would want to deface or destroy Stonehenge and erase the evidence of humanity&#8217;s accomplishments are people who despise humanity itself. It&#8217;s the same reason why climate activists want everyone to stop having children. It&#8217;s the same reason they want to &#8220;end fossil fuels&#8221; and crash the global economy. They&#8217;re not really concerned about global temperatures rising by a degree or two. They want humanity to go extinct.
In comments to the media, Just Stop Oil has denied all of this. They&#8217;ve claimed that this orange cornflour paint is going to wash away in the rain, so it&#8217;s not really vandalism. Of course, Just Stop Oil has made that same claim before when they vandalized several other monuments, and it&#8217;s turned out to be false. 
Additionally, there are apparently 80 <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/two-arrestedjust-stop-oil-protesters-spray-stonehenge-orange-paint-99fp2gf2t#:~:text=Nearly%2080%20species%20of%20lichen,sea%20cliffs%2C%20according%20to%20Richards." target="_blank" rel="noopener">species</a> of lichen on Stonehenge that might be dead now, including rare species that scientists wanted to preserve. They&#8217;re still trying to figure out the precise extent of the damage. And even if it does all wash away, they still have no right to use an ancient monument as a platform for their delusional political statement. So even if the paint ultimately does come off, the point remains the same: these activists are fundamentally anti-human — and they&#8217;re becoming increasingly emboldened. In a video message, the 21-year-old Stonehenge attacker — who apparently identifies as nonbinary — explained why they/them/zim/zir decided to deface the monument. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 Plan for Stonehenge" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ceHz547ZHQI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
A few things to note here. First of all, there&#8217;s something physicians refer to as the &#8220;gestalt.&#8221; That includes a person&#8217;s general appearance, tone of voice, and the like. And the gestalt is a little concerning here. For starters, this person is whispering for some reason, which comes off as a little unsettling. On top of that, this nonbinary activist is also wearing a Patagonia shirt, even though Patagonia <a href="https://www.patagonia.com/climate-goals/#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admits</a> on its website that its vast array of suppliers — by necessity — relies on fossil fuels to conduct operations. They emit something like 200,000 metric tons of CO2 every year. So I guess we&#8217;re meant to conclude that ending fossil fuels is important, except when nonbinary University of Oxford students need a nice sweater vest or t-shirt. Then fossil fuels are okay. 
Of course, every accusation is really an admission with these people. When these activists warn of death and destruction and devastation on an &#8220;immeasurable scale,&#8221; they’re actually revealing precisely what groups like Just Stop Oil want to happen. It&#8217;s what they know will happen if Western nations stop producing fossil fuels, which supply an overwhelming majority of the world&#8217;s energy. We&#8217;ll be taken over by China in about a week. Civilization as we know it will come to an end.
For some reason, that appears to be what a significant number of young people now want to see happen. They&#8217;ve been indoctrinated into a nihilistic death cult. And on social media, many of these young people are now celebrating what just happened at Stonehenge. On Twitter, Oli London posted an <a href="https://x.com/olilondontv/status/1803529776969167156?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener">image</a> of a blue-haired British archeologist with &#8220;she/they&#8221; pronouns who wrote that the attack was &#8220;well done.&#8221; More than 10,000 people liked that particular tweet, which gives you some indication of how popular the sentiment is.
It&#8217;s not hard to see why this is becoming a trend. For one thing, there&#8217;s a lot of money in it. 
As Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dark-money-fund-poured-millions-dollars-eco-activist-groups-blocking-highways-destroying-famous-art" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> late last year, the Beverly Hills, California-based, Climate Emergency Fund, or CEF, sent roughly $4 million in grants overseas in 2022 alone: &#8220;The most sizable slice [of these grants was] wired to U.K. climate activists. The largest beneficiary of CEF&#8217;s funds appeared to be Just Stop Oil, a British activist group that has repeatedly made headlines for stopping traffic and disrupting public places across the UK.&#8221; And this is just one dark money group based in the United States.
So that amateur quality, creepy video you just saw from the nonbinary activist may have been amateurish on purpose. In reality, Just Stop Oil is an extremely well-funded operation. They could&#8217;ve sprung for better production quality if they wanted to. So-called &#8220;environmental activism&#8221; is now a very big business, and a lot of people are making a lot of money on it from sources we can&#8217;t identify.
That could be one reason the whole movement is attractive to young people, many of whom are now looking for jobs. On top of that, of course, government officials all over the world have become propagandists who indoctrinate young people as a matter of course. 
Here for example is New York governor Kathy Hochul warning of an impending heat emergency in the city:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 NY Gov hot weather" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aI7MUNVFr2k?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&nbsp;
The central claim that Kathy Hochul is making — that New York has never before seen temperatures that feel like 100° — is completely false. It&#8217;s so obviously false that you can disprove it with about five seconds of Googling. According to the National Weather Service, the highest temperature ever <a href="https://www.weather.gov/media/okx/Climate/CentralPark/extremes.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recorded</a> in New York City&#8217;s Central Park was 106° Fahrenheit, all the way back in July of 1936. And that&#8217;s the actual temperature, not the heat index. 
Before that, there was a heat wave in 1896 that killed more than 1,000 people, as temperatures exceeded 90°. The National Weather Service reports that the warmest month on record in New York was all the way back in July of 1999. And in several years since, New York has hit 100° on several occasions.
So what Kathy Hochul is saying is wrong for about a million reasons. But she said it anyway because she knows it&#8217;s effective. People hear what she&#8217;s saying — especially young people — and they believe it. They become activists and loyal voters for the Democrats. And unless they&#8217;re met with force, as they were at the Battle of the Beanfield, some of those activists will continue to deface priceless historical artifacts to attract attention to their nihilistic death cult. They will continue to block roadways, preventing people from going to work and ambulances from transporting patients. Appeasing these cultists simply does not work. That much is now very clear. If we want to have any monuments or any history left at all, we need to take the threat as seriously as the British did in 1985, and shut them down.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-air-force" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Air Force</a> spent hundreds of taxpayer dollars to hire a drag queen for “drag bingo” and a “glow party,” according to internal documents obtained by Judicial Watch. 
Drag queen “Miss Lexi Andrews” was hired by the 423rd Support Squadron at the RAF Alconbury Air Base in England for a “drag bingo” event on June 23, 2022, and a “glow party” on June 24, 2022, an <a href="https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/dod-drag-shows-may-2024-pg-27/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invoice</a> obtained by Judicial Watch through a freedom of information request shows. The cost for the “bingo” event was $150 while the “glow party” ran the Air Force $250. 
The invoice was obtained as part of an investigation by CatholicVote Civil Action and Judicial Watch into the Air Force’s promotion of drag queens, which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/air-force-base-cancels-drag-queen-story-hour-event-after-public-outcry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> two years ago after a drag queen story hour for children — scheduled to be held at an American air base in Germany — was canceled following public outcry. 
“How on Earth is it appropriate to spend our limited defense dollars on promoting these sexually themed events for children and adults rather than on advancing the military’s mission,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “As we see in these troubling Air Force records, our nation’s military is being ruined by woke ideology.”

“Miss Lexi Andrews” is a Washington, D.C., based “internationally performing” drag queen and author, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lexi__andrews/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to his social media pages, The Daily Caller first reported. 
Other <a href="https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/dod-drag-shows-may-2024-pgs-3-4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documents</a> sent by the Defense Department to Judicial Watch include promotions of drag events at U.S. Military bases, including a story hour in Ramstein, Germany by “our local Drag King, Sauvage.”
According to promotional materials, one of the books to be read was called “The HIPS on the DRAG QUEEN Go Swish, Swish, Swish.”
Another event advertised by the 86th Force Support Squadron in Germany for those 18 and up was “<a href="https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/dod-drag-shows-may-2024-pg-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Drag Karaoke</a>” at “Club E” with a “special guest from Monarchy of RoyalTEA.&#8221;
The promotion of the drag events drew <a href="https://www.judicialwatch.org/air-force-drag-story-time/">sharp criticism</a> from CatholicVote Senior Advisor Tim Huelskamp.
“The Department of Defense has once again proven that radical leftist ideology is more important than military preparedness and protecting Americans from tangible threats at home and abroad,” Huelskamp said. “After an entire year of stonewalling, the DOD finally returned materials from just one command in one branch, which confirmed what we feared – that taxpayer funds were being used to promote drag shows and radical gender ideology on military bases, with full approval from Air Force leadership.”
