British Prime Minister Keir Starmer&#8217;s latest promised effort to combat violent crime has so far only resulted in him taking a virtual beating on social media.
Starmer announced via X that he was going to make good on his promise to ban ninja swords, and critics were far from impressed.
&#8220;Knife crime is at epidemic levels and is ruining lives across Britain. As Prime Minister, I&#8217;ll crack down on sales of these lethal weapons once and for all. When I announce a ban, you’ll get a ban,&#8221; Starmer posted in late January of 2024, along with an article from The Sun stating that ninja swords would be included in such a ban.

President Donald Trump marked six weeks in office on Friday as his administration continued to aggressively implement his agenda at home and seek peace abroad.
This week, Trump turned his attention to the war in Ukraine, capping the week with an explosive on-camera shouting match in the Oval Office with the Ukrainian president.
Here are this week&#8217;s highlights.
Foreign Leaders
On Friday, Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. The visit was friendly until an Oval Office meeting devolved into an heated argument between Trump, Zelensky, and Vice President JD Vance in front of media cameras.
The back and forth began when Zelensky interrupted questions from the press to challenge Vance on diplomacy with Russia.
&#8220;During the war, everybody has problems, even you, but you have nice ocean and don&#8217;t feel now, but you will feel it in the future. God bless, you will not have war,&#8221; Zelensky told Vance.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t tell us what we&#8217;re going to feel. We&#8217;re trying to solve a problem,&#8221; Trump interrupted, adding, &#8220;you don&#8217;t have the cards right now&#8221; and accusing Zelensky of &#8220;gambling with the lives of millions of people.&#8221;
The exchange went on for several minutes with Trump reminding Zelensky that the United States has sent Ukraine vital and expensive military equipment.
&#8220;Have you said thank you once?&#8221; Vance asked.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve empowered you to be a tough guy,&#8221; Trump told Zelensky. &#8220;You&#8217;re either going to make a deal, or we&#8217;re out.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Afterward, a joint press conference was canceled, and Trump asked Zelensky to leave the White House. The two presidents had also planned to sign a deal where Ukraine would trade rare minerals for defense help from the United States, but that signing was also canceled, leaving the deal in peril.
“I have determined that President Zelensky is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations,” Trump wrote on Truth Social afterward. “I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”
Trump also hosted French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House on Monday. They displayed their friendly relationship with plenty of handshakes, but clashed on the Ukraine war.
Macron said &#8220;peace must not mean a surrender of Ukraine,&#8221; while Trump emphasized how much money the United States has spent on aid to Ukraine and said he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to make a deal.
Trump hosted British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House on Thursday, where Starmer <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/02/27/trump-presidency-news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urged</a> Trump to continue supporting Ukraine, as well as not to put tariffs on the United Kingdom.
Trade and American Investment
Trump said China will be hit with an additional 10% tariff next week on top of the first 10% tariff Trump already imposed this month. The president cited China&#8217;s major role in fentanyl flowing into the United States.
Trump also said tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will go into effect on March 4 &#8220;as scheduled,&#8221; saying those countries have not done enough to stop the flow of drugs into the United States either.
On Monday, Apple <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/02/apple-will-spend-more-than-500-billion-usd-in-the-us-over-the-next-four-years/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> the tech giant will invest $500 billion in the Unites States over the next four years. Apple CEO Tim Cook <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1893048920047018379" target="_blank" rel="noopener">met</a> with Trump last week. The move will create 20,000 jobs in the United States and comes amid Trump&#8217;s tariffs aimed at encouraging United States manufacturing.
Trump also <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/addressing-the-threat-to-nationalsecurity-from-imports-of-copper/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> an executive order aimed at addressing national security threats from copper imports, saying copper products are &#8220;vital&#8221; for defense products and other technology. The order <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-warns-reliance-on-foreign-copper-poses-a-direct-threat-to-national-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">directs</a> the Commerce Secretary to look into tariffs on copper imports to encourage domestic production. The order also references China, the global leader in copper smelting and refining, saying China&#8217;s dominance &#8220;poses a direct threat to United States national security and economic stability.&#8221;
Immigration
Illegal crossings at the southern border are <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1892771191787508153" target="_blank" rel="noopener">down</a> to about 285 a day, 94% lower than in February a year ago, and migrants are <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/02/10/us-news/new-trend-of-migrants-turning-around-and-heading-back-toward-home-under-trump-border-crackdown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> giving up and returning home <a href="https://apnews.com/article/panama-united-states-migration-trump-beb125ce0ecbebb2895ea9dd18c4c53b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">due</a>, in part, to the end of the Biden administration&#8217;s CBP One app.
Arrests inside the country are up 137% <a href="https://x.com/TriciaOhio/status/1891631396214493594" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compared</a> to a year ago. The illegal migrant criminals the administration has arrested <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/02/sick-politicians-want-killers-rapists-roaming-our-streets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">include</a> a Salvadoran migrant convicted of sodomy with a victim under 13, a Sudanese migrant convicted of rape of a victim under 13, and a Mexican migrant who had an order of removal from 2006 and was convicted of drunk driving resulting in a death.
On Thursday, the White House said 29 Mexican cartel members were extradited to the United States for prosecution, including a cartel boss who tortured and murdered a DEA agent in the 1980s.
Health Care
Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/making-america-healthy-again-by-empowering-patients-with-clear-accurate-and-actionable-healthcare-pricing-information/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> an executive order aimed at making sure patients have clear and accurate information about the price of their health care. Several departments, including Health and Human Services, are directed to enforce new price transparency regulations to make sure hospitals and insurance companies disclose their actual prices, not estimates, and make prices comparable across the board, including prescription drug prices.
DOGE
Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/implementing-the-presidents-department-of-government-efficiency-cost-efficiency-initiative/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> a new executive order giving the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) more power to slash government spending.
The order tells federal agency heads to work with DOGE team leads to justify government spending over the next month, starting with investigating grants and contracts to educational institutions and foreign entities for waste, fraud, and abuse. Agency heads also have to explain taxpayer-funded conference travel and identify federal properties that are no longer needed. The order also freezes all agency credit cards except those for disaster relief or other critical services.
Meanwhile, one million federal workers responded to Elon Musk&#8217;s DOGE email asking them to describe five things they got done the week before.
The administration continues to slash the federal workforce, with thousands of employees <a href="https://www.cnn.com/politics/tracking-federal-workforce-firings-dg/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">already</a> fired and more taking buyout offers.
Epstein Files
Attorney General Pam Bondi tried to release the FBI&#8217;s files on millionaire sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein, but she was stymied by the FBI allegedly withholding thousands of Epstein documents.
On Wednesday, Bondi said on Fox News that she hoped to release some Epstein files the next day. On Thursday, Bondi <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/right-wing-influencers-get-binders-labeled-the-epstein-files-but-downplay-revelations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave</a> a group of right-wing influencers at the White House binders labeled &#8220;The Epstein Files: Phase 1.&#8221; However, the binders contained little new information, certainly not Epstein&#8217;s sex trafficking client list.
Bondi then <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pam-bondi-says-fbi-lied-to-her-about-turning-over-all-of-the-epstein-files" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> the FBI of lying to her about turning over all the Epstein documents after someone at the FBI&#8217;s New York office told her there were thousands more documents.
Also this week, Bondi <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-pam-bondi-dismisses-dei-lawsuits-involving-police-officers-and-firefighters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> the Justice Department has dropped several Biden-era DEI lawsuits against police and fire departments over their supposedly racist hiring practices such as written exams and credit checks.
Other Moves
Trump held his first official Cabinet meeting, which Elon Musk attended.
Trump <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1894500240863969327?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1894500240863969327%7Ctwgr%5E8f59ae9134259fc75a25aea5ffa53ea38b57d4e5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Ftrump-yanks-clearances-from-jack-smiths-team-scolds-reporter-worried-about-who-hes-targeting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nixed</a> the security clearances of a law firm, Covington &amp; Burling LLP, that provided free legal services to Special Counsel Jack Smith&#8217;s office in the cases against Trump before the election.
“I was the target of corrupt politicians for four years, and then four years after that. So don’t talk to me about targeting,” Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-yanks-clearances-from-jack-smiths-team-scolds-reporter-worried-about-who-hes-targeting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> a reporter at the signing.
On Wednesday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/agriculture-secretary-brooke-rollins-my-plan-to-lower-egg-prices-6be0f881" target="_blank" rel="noopener">laid out</a> her plan to lower egg prices, an economic sticking point for years. The strategy will involve spending up to $1 billion to curb avian flu, protecting egg farmers from regulations like California&#8217;s minimum space requirements for hens, and considering temporary egg imports.
Vance, a Catholic, addressed the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast on Friday. The vice president said ahead of his remarks that during the election cycle, he was &#8220;moved to witness the joyful devotion&#8221; of Catholics &#8220;praying for the future and success of our country,&#8221; and &#8220;thanks to their faithful prayers, hope has returned to America again.&#8221;
Meanwhile, a new poll conducted last week <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/HHP_Feb2025_vFinal.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shows</a> Americans are more optimistic about the economy, more say their personal financial situation is improving, and a majority, 52% approve of the job Trump is doing as president.

Britain announced on Tuesday that it will ramp up its military spending in the coming years as Prime Minister Keir Starmer prepares to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday.
Trump has long pushed European allies to spend more on their own militaries and contribute more to NATO&#8217;s defense. Starmer told Parliament that the U.K. would increase its military spending from 2.3% of gross domestic value to 2.5% by 2027 and then to 3% by 2034, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/world/europe/uk-defense-spending-starmer.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;It is my first duty as Prime Minister to keep this country safe. That is why we are increasing defence spending to 2.5% of GDP from April 2027,&#8221; Starmer, the liberal Labour Party leader, <a href="https://x.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1894372457370316803" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;In an ever more dangerous world, it’s vital that we protect British people at home.&#8221;
Britain will pay for the increase in military spending by cutting back on foreign development aid from 0.5% of GDP to 0.3%, according to Starmer, who said the move was unfortunate but necessary. “At times like this, the defense and security of the British people must always come first,” he said.
The prime minister added that the announcement means the U.K. will be taking on more responsibility in its commitment to NATO and &#8220;the collective defence of our continent,&#8221; according to the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyrkkv4gd7o" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BBC</a>.
The U.K.&#8217;s move amounts to the nation&#8217;s largest military spending increase since the Cold War, a decision Starmer <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/business/ap-business/ap-starmer-commits-to-raise-uk-defense-spending-to-2-5-of-gdp-by-2027/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> is necessary because &#8220;tyrants like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin only respond to strength.&#8221; The Labour Party leader added that Britain will remain committed to supporting Ukraine&#8217;s defense as the U.S. continues peace negotiations with Russia and Ukraine.
&#8220;We will walk with [Ukraine] through this conflict and we will continue to do so for as long as is necessary,&#8221; Starmer <a href="https://x.com/Keir_Starmer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, adding, &#8220;We will not falter in our support for Ukraine. We will not stop our efforts to end this war. And we will not rest until the people of Ukraine can live peacefully and safely in their own country.&#8221;
President Trump, meanwhile, has been critical of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as the U.S. seeks to broker a peace deal with Russia and Ukraine. Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-zelensky-shouldnt-attend-meetings-with-russia-he-makes-it-very-hard-to-make-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last week that he&#8217;s had “very good talks” with Putin but “not such good talks with Ukraine” after calling Zelensky a &#8220;dictator&#8221; and blaming him for starting the war.

British Prime Minister <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/keir-starmer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Keir Starmer&#8217;s</a> far-Left Labour Party blocked a push by the Conservative Party to open an investigation into child rape gangs that garnered significant international attention in recent weeks.
The Labour Party killed the push in a 364 to 111 vote, which comes after Elon Musk has repeatedly drawn attention to the Pakistani gangs that have predominately targeted young white children.
&#8220;The Prime Minister cannot tell the House the full scale of the scandal,&#8221; said Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch. &#8220;He does not want questions asked of Labour politicians who may be complicit. He won&#8217;t listen to the victims who are calling for a National Inquiry.&#8221;
She called the scandal &#8220;one of the worst in British history.&#8221;

Musk fired back at Starmer on X: “What an insane thing to say!”
“The real reason is that it would show how Starmer repeatedly ignored the pleas of vast numbers of little girls and their parents, in order to secure political support,” Musk said. “Starmer is utterly despicable.”
The British newspaper The Telegraph highlighted the coverup of the mass rapes by British officials who were worried that exposing the crimes could lead to mass civil unrest and disrupt social cohesion.
The report highlighted extremely graphic and highly disturbing detailed accounts of the violent sexual assaults that the rape gangs inflicted upon young girls.

Keir Starmer’s Far-Left Party Blocks Investigation Into Child Rape Gangs

Crime

Sexual Abuse

Far-Left British Prime Minister Keir Starmer claimed on Monday that those who are demanding that there be investigations and accountability over the mass rapes of predominately white children in the country by Pakistani rape gangs — and the subsequent coverup by British officials — were trying to &#8220;jump on a bandwagon of the far-Right.&#8221;
Starmer&#8217;s remarks come after Elon Musk has repeatedly hammered the British government for days over the scandal, pumping out posts to his 210 million followers and exposing the violence that young girls have been subjected to along with the British government&#8217;s efforts to keep the scandal quiet so that riots would not break out.
“Those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible are not interested in victims, they are interested in themselves,” claimed Starmer, who appeared nervous at times.
He said that those calling for investigations were doing so because they wanted to &#8220;jump on a bandwagon of the far-Right.&#8221;
“This is actually an important point about our politics, not what about what anybody may or may not say on Twitter,” he claimed.
Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1876245946348208601">fired back</a> at Starmer on X: &#8220;What an insane thing to say!&#8221;
&#8220;The real reason is that it would show how Starmer repeatedly ignored the pleas of vast numbers of little girls and their parents, in order to secure political support,&#8221; Musk said. &#8220;Starmer is utterly despicable.&#8221;

Britain’s Keir Starmer: Those Who Want Probes Into Rape Gangs Are ‘Far Right’

The national scandal in Great Britain, where for years “predominantly Pakistani&#8221; men reportedly groomed and raped young British girls only to have the government seemingly turn a blind eye, has come to a boil, with many people, including billionaire Elon Musk, publicly calling for the resignation of Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The Labour Party has blocked an investigation into Starmer, who served as head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Jess Phillips, Labour’s safeguarding minister, insisted it was &#8216;<a href="https://archive.is/o/vGgYG/https:/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/06/20/sex-offender-assaulted-14-year-old-oldham-council-renewed-taxi/">&#8220;for Oldham council alone&#8221;</a> to decide whether to launch an investigation into alleged exploitation between 2011 and 2014,” The Telegraph <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/01/02/elon-musk-jess-phillips-oldham-council-grooming-inquiry/">reported</a>.
“In the UK, serious crimes such as rape require the Crown Prosecution Service&#8217;s approval for the police to charge suspects,” Musk wrote on X. “Who was the head of the CPS when rape gangs were allowed to exploit young girls without facing justice?  Keir Starmer, 2008 -2013. Who is the boss of Jess Phillips right now? Keir Stamer. (sic) The real reason she&#8217;s refusing to investigate the rape gangs is that it would obviously lead to the blaming of Keir Stamer (head of the CPS at the time).”

British writer Matt Goodwin <a href="https://www.mattgoodwin.org/p/what-i-told-oxford">wrote</a> in November 2023: “For readers who might not know about the ‘grooming scandal,’ we are talking about tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of children being systematically raped and abused by organised gangs of men while people in power, the very people charged with protecting these children, turned a blind eye.”
In Alexis Jay’s <a href="https://www.rotherham.gov.uk/downloads/file/279/independent-inquiry-into-child-sexual-exploitation-in-rotherham">independent report</a> from 2014, which was commissioned by the Rotherham Metropolitan Border Council, she noted:
<blockquote>
It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered. They were raped by multiple perpetrators, trafficked to other towns and cities in the north of England, abducted, beaten, and intimidated. There were examples of children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone. Girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators.
</blockquote>
Journalist Ed West added <a href="https://www.edwest.co.uk/p/the-tragedy-of-telfords-girls">this</a> of what reportedly occurred in Telford:
<blockquote>Here, in a town of 140,000 or so people, some 1,000 young girls were systematically raped and sexually abused by gangs of men over a number of years — and this figure has been described as ‘tame’ by a witness to a recent inquiry. The perpetrators were mostly Pakistani men, the victims were overwhelmingly poor, white and English. The girls, as young as 11 or 12, were given drink and drugs, gang raped and passed around, and threatened if they told the police. Countless such testimonies were confirmed by the authorities, and investigations here reported quite extreme and unprintable forms of sexual abuse. In this town seven men went to jail, although five were given relatively short sentences and are most likely out again. The strangest thing about this story is that this was happening in dozens of cities across England over the course of two decades before it became a national story. As many as 10,000 girls were raped in this way, and countless people in positions of authority, in children’s services and police, knew about it.</blockquote>

Kemi Badenoch, the new leader of the Conservative Party in Great Britain, ripped into the ruling Labour Party Wednesday for sending representatives to aid Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed presidential effort.
Badenoch, who was named the leader of her party just three days before the U.S. presidential election, took Prime Minister Keir Starmer to task during Prime Minister&#8217;s Questions, a weekly session where the PM faces inquiries from Parliament. Badenoch was referencing Labour Party operations head Sofia Patel&#8217;s announcement that the party would help the Harris campaign.
“I have nearly 100 Labour party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few weeks heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia. I have 10 spots available for anyone available to head to the battleground state of North Carolina — we will sort your housing.”
“Yet another reason to vote for President Trump,” Senator Tom Cotton (R-AK) said at the time.

Badenoch began by asking Starmer of Foreign Secretary David Lammy would apologize for remarks he made about Trump in 2018, while serving as a parliamentary representative for Tottenham in North London.
“On Friday, a 19-foot a ‘Trump Baby’ balloon is set to float over the Houses of parliament in London, as President Donald Trump makes his first official visit to the United Kingdom. I will be one of tens of thousands on the streets, protesting against our government’s capitulation to this tyrant in a toupee,” Lammy wrote in <a href="https://time.com/5333087/david-lammy-trump-uk-visit/">TIME</a> magazine in 2018.  “Trump is not only a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathizing sociopath. He is also a profound threat to the international order that has been the foundation of Western progress for so long.”
“As leader of his Majesty’s opposition, I have been taking a different approach to the last opposition by being a constructive opposition,” Badenoch said Wednesday.
“And so I would like to start by congratulating President-Elect Trump on his impressive victory this morning. The Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary met him in September. Did the Foreign Secretary take the opportunity to apologize for making derogatory and scatological references including, and I quote, ‘Trump is not only a woman-hating neo-Nazi-sympathizing sociopath, he is also a profound threat to international order.’ And if he did not apologize, will the Prime Minister do so now on his behalf?”
“The Foreign Secretary and I did meet President-elect Trump just a few weeks ago for dinner about a couple of hours; we discussed a number of issues of global significance; it was a very constructive exercise,” Starmer answered.
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister did not distance himself from the remarks made by the Foreign Secretary, Badenoch said..

Candidates Make Their Pitches For Leadership Of The Conservative Party On The Final Day Of Conference

New British Conservative Party Head Blasts Labour Party For Helping Kamala

Kamala Harris

Kemi Badenoch

A top Tory conservative suggested Tuesday that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.K.</a> Labor government lied about a suspected killer’s Islamist ties.
Conservative MP Robert Jenrick, a Tory leadership hopeful, said the government’s handling of an investigation into a July mass knife attack is raising doubts about whether “we are being told the truth about crime in our country.”
“Of course, the legal process needs to be respected, but I&#8217;m seriously concerned that the facts may have been withheld from the public here,” Jenrick said in a video posted to his social media. “The government and authorities told us for months that they were not treating this as a terrorist incident. But today, the attacker has been charged with terrorist offenses and it has been revealed that he has been allegedly reading terrorist manuals.”
On July 29, a man armed with a knife attacked children and others at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, killing three children ages six, seven, and nine. Six other girls and two adults were injured.
Authorities arrested 18-year-old Axel Rudakubana, the son of Rwandan parents, and charged him in the attack. Prosecutors <a href="https://www.merseyside.police.uk/news/merseyside/news/2024/october/statement-from-chief-constable-serena-kennedy-and-partners-following-further-charges-for-axel-rudakubana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leveled</a> additional counts against Rudakubana on Wednesday of production of a biological toxin, ricin, and possession of information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing to commit an act of terrorism. The illicit information came in the form of an Al-Qaeda training manual.
The additional charges have ignited an uproar after police and government officials spent months denying evidence of links to terrorism in the case.
“The public had the right to know the truth right away. Any suggestion of a cover up will permanently damage trust in whether we are being told the truth about crime in our country,” Jenrick said. “[Prime Minister] Keir Starmer must urgently explain to the country what he knew about the Southport attack and when he learnt it.”
“Across the board, the hard reality of mass migration is being covered up. The public can see with their own eyes that they are being gas lit by the liberal elite,” he added.

After the July 29 attack, protests and riots erupted across the U.K. as calls were made to demonstrate over immigration and the threat of radical Islam. The chaos resulted in hundreds of arrests as officials warned against speculating on the motive for the attack. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/a-harsh-reckoning-will-come-for-racist-thugs-on-british-streets-mt3ptjxr7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promised</a> to arrest “racist thugs” and threatened those who “whipped them up on social media and in online chat forums.”

“Let me also say to large social media companies and those who run them. Violent disorder, clearly whipped up online, that is also a crime. It is happening on your premises. The law must be upheld everywhere,” he said.
Law enforcement have repeatedly denied that the case against Rudakubana is being treated as a terrorism case. Despite the terrorism charge now leveled against Rudakubana, authorities still deny terrorism as a motive for his alleged attack.
“At this time, Counter Terrorism Policing has not declared the attack on Monday 29 July a terrorist incident,” Merseyside Chief Constable Serena Kennedy said in a statement announcing the latest charges in the case. “I recognise that the new charges may lead to speculation. The matter for which Axel Rudakubana has been charged with under the Terrorism Act does not require motive to be established. For a matter to be declared a terrorist incident, motivation would need to be established.”
“We would strongly advise caution against anyone speculating as to motivation in this case,” Kennedy said. “The criminal proceedings against Axel Rudakubana are live and he has a right to a fair trial.”

Conservative MP Alleges ‘Cover-Up’ Of Knife Attacker’s Terror Ties To Hide ‘The Truth About Crime’

Radical Islam

Terrorism

When several children were stabbed to death while attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the UK late last month, British politicians and media outlets immediately went to great lengths to absolve themselves of any responsibility. They declared that decades of unrestricted mass migration couldn&#8217;t possibly be the reason that three young girls were dead, and many more were critically injured.
The fact that the alleged killer was born in Britain to Rwandan parents who somehow ended up in Britain, the government insisted, was completely irrelevant — and only far-right extremists would say otherwise. And as I outlined earlier this week, British politicians threatened to arrest those &#8220;far-Right extremists&#8221; for &#8220;hate speech&#8221; and &#8220;misinformation.&#8221; As protests and riots broke out all over the country, the government promised to punish anyone who suggested that maybe open borders were a bad idea.
But the problem with punishing wrongthink is that it does nothing to address the underlying problem. You can throw every single &#8220;Right-wing commentator&#8221; in the Tower of London for saying that mass migration has deadly consequences, and they&#8217;ll still be right. And children will continue to be targeted because of the barbaric ideology that Europe&#8217;s leaders have deliberately imported from the third world.
As if to prove that point, on Wednesday, authorities in Vienna arrested two suspects who were planning a terrorist attack at Taylor Swift&#8217;s concerts that were originally scheduled for this weekend. The concerts have been canceled, apparently because the threat remains high. One of the suspects is reportedly a 19-year-old who pledged allegiance to ISIS. The police are apparently looking for at least one additional suspect. Bomb-making materials are involved. Beyond that, we&#8217;re not sure exactly who these suspects are at the moment, because the authorities won&#8217;t say. Watch:

According to that report, Vienna now has a &#8220;track record&#8221; of being a &#8220;breeding ground&#8221; for the Islamic State. What&#8217;s not stated in that news report is what could possibly explain this troubling rise in terrorist incidents like this in Austria. This is a country that used to be known as the birthplace of classical music and strong coffee. And now they&#8217;re a breeding ground for ISIS? How did that happen? What got into all these Austrians?
It&#8217;s a mystery wrapped in an enigma. What&#8217;s unstated in that report is that an awful lot of foreign nationals have poured into Austria over the past few decades from countries like Montenegro, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Chechnya, Turkey, and Somalia. And some of these migrants are doing things that Austrians don&#8217;t generally do. Just a few months ago, for example, a 14-year-old ISIS sympathizer from Montenegro was arrested in Austria with a knife and an ax that she allegedly planned to use in a terrorist attack. How did a 14-year-old terrorist from Montenegro get into Austria? Who knows. The media doesn&#8217;t care.
Reporters aren&#8217;t even allowed to bring up any of this immigration because it might lead people to conclude that more immigration isn&#8217;t always a good thing. In fact, in the UK, even suggesting such a thing can now land you in prison.
Here&#8217;s England&#8217;s &#8220;director of public prosecutions,&#8221; a guy named Stephen Parkinson. He wants Britons to know that if they so much as retweet anything that &#8220;insults&#8221; the foreign nationals who are living illegally in their country, then the full force of the law will descend on them.

Aside from the accent and the language, it&#8217;s a clip that might as well be from North Korea. Instead of having teams of police officers deporting some of the illegal aliens who are living in Britain — which would actually accomplish something productive — the British government is spending its time scouring Twitter, looking for retweets they don&#8217;t like. Apparently, even people who write &#8220;RT&#8217;s are not endorsements&#8221; in their bio won&#8217;t be spared. If you retweet something that Kier Starmer thinks is naughty, then you&#8217;ll go to prison.
Of course, Stephen Parkinson left the standard vague on purpose, so that no one knows where the line is, exactly. 
Take <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/19/magazine/her-majestys-jihadists.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this quote</a> from The New York Times, for example: 
<blockquote>More British Muslim men have joined ISIS and the Nusra Front than are serving in the British armed forces.</blockquote>
Would a statement like that qualify as inciting &#8220;racial hatred?&#8221; It happens to be a factually true statement, as unbelievable and incredible as it may seem. And it may lead people to conclude that Britain&#8217;s immigration policy isn&#8217;t the best. So can someone retweet that or not?
No one knows. It&#8217;s a completely subjective standard that&#8217;s clearly designed to terrify people into submission. They don&#8217;t just want to make people afraid to speak their mind. They also want to make people afraid to agree with someone else who speaks their mind. They&#8217;re going several layers deep in order to censor dissent, as all illegitimate regimes do. Pretty soon they&#8217;ll be rounding up the family members of anyone who &#8220;likes&#8221; a tweet criticizing Keir Starmer.

If this were happening in any other third-world country, the State Department would immediately condemn this as a flagrant abuse of human rights. The UN Security Council would hold a meeting. We might even invade so that we can spread freedom and democracy. But because Britain is (supposedly) already a first-world democracy that sits on the Security Council, no one will say anything.
Britain, like Canada, has descended very sharply and very quickly into totalitarianism. The government can tolerate the murder of children. It can&#8217;t tolerate criticism — or retweets of criticism.
The rapid collapse of both Britain and Canada raises the obvious question of whether (and when) a similar collapse might happen here. And there&#8217;s one clear indication it might come sooner than we think.

“There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around our democracy.&#8221; 
That line, by itself, should have disqualified Tim Walz from getting anywhere near the vice presidential shortlist. It should have disqualified him from continuing to serve in the government of Minnesota in any capacity. In a serious country, he would have been impeached and removed from office.

But Tim Walz wasn&#8217;t impeached. He didn&#8217;t suffer any consequences whatsoever. He was barely even criticized. On some corners of the Internet, people reacted to that footage by saying Tim Walz must have failed high school civics. But that&#8217;s not what that clip shows. We can assume that Tim Walz knows that the First Amendment protects &#8220;misinformation&#8221; and &#8220;hate speech&#8221; and even criticisms of &#8220;democracy,&#8221; whatever those things mean. Indeed, if the first amendment does not protect so-called hate speech and so-called misinformation, then it doesn’t protect anything. After all, something is labeled misinformation if some people — especially powerful people — claim that it is untrue or inaccurate. And something is labeled “hate speech” if some people — especially powerful people — claim that it is morally repugnant and offensive. So if the First Amendment does not cover misinformation and hate speech, that means we are free to say anything we want, as long as it’s not something that powerful people consider wrong, inaccurate, offensive, or outrageous. Which is to say, we do not have free speech or anything approaching free speech.
Tim Walz knows this. He’s not the smartest guy, but he’s smart enough to understand the basic argument here. The real takeaway, then, is that he just doesn&#8217;t care. He understands that the First Amendment is just words on paper. The Soviet Union had a constitution guaranteeing free speech, too. Canada and the UK have charters that supposedly protect freedom of expression. But the constitution and the charters don&#8217;t matter if no one cares about what they say.
This is the trajectory we&#8217;re on. A decade ago, no one in the UK thought the police would ever show up at their door because they retweeted someone else&#8217;s political commentary. Now it&#8217;s the reality of living in Britain.
The insidious thing about this kind of censorship is that, by the time it takes hold, it&#8217;s too late to actually do anything about it. Protesters inevitably turn to violence, which in turn leads to more censorship and more crackdowns. This is the cycle that leads to a country so unstable and so dangerous that it can&#8217;t even host a Taylor Swift concert.
Reasonable people look to Europe as a cautionary tale. Tim Walz sees a blueprint.

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.

After a young man of Rwandan descent knifed to death three young girls, ages 6,8, and 9, in Southport, England, on July 29, and anti-immigration demonstrations were mounted from Liverpool, England, to Belfast, Ireland, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British</a> Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the left-wing Labour Party condemned the protesters, calling the actions “far-right thuggery we have seen this weekend.”
The <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/01/southport-suspect-named-axel-rudakubana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspect</a> arrested in the brutal murders lives in Banks, Lancashire; he was born to Rwandan parents in Cardiff, Wales. Eight other children were stabbed, as well as the teacher who tried to protect them; five of the children were left in critical condition.
“Be in no doubt: Those who have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law,” Starmer said. “I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves. This is not protest. It is organized, violent thuggery.”
Yet in 2020, Starmer had a quite different reaction to the Black Lives Matter riots in the United States, saying, “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 protests, to people rightly demanding justice, has been an affront to humanity. The last week has shone a spotlight on the racism, discrimination and the injustice experienced by those from black and minority ethnic communities in the U.S., in the UK, and around the world. Martin Luther King said, ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
