Hamas Supporters March on October 7

Hamas supporters in London decided to march on the 3rd anniversary of the October 7 slaughter of innocent Israelis by the organization they are marching for. The march was not seen as racist by British police, despite it clearly sending a message to the Jews that they’re next. It is an embrace of the slaughter of the Jewish race, nothing more.

EXCERPT:

It is appalling that, in 2026, we are still grappling with the scourge of racism, a blight on all our societies.

Racism is not an abstract phenomenon. These are not just words. Growing up, my own childhood was marked by verbal abuse, physical violence and a hatred driven solely by the colour of my skin. This is a world I have long left behind but a world, indeed often worse, in which millions still live.

As such, we, the UK, thank the African Group for bringing forward this resolution and pay particular tribute to South Africa for their principled leadership in keeping the fight against racism high on the international agenda.

We are committed to combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in all their forms.

The UK fully acknowledges the devastating tragedy of the transatlantic slave trade, and recognises that its legacy continues to shape lives, communities and societies around the world today.

The UK believes that only by acknowledging and discussing collectively the most painful elements of the history that we share with other nations, including the transatlantic slave trade, can we come together in a spirit of solidarity and mutual respect to respond to the challenges that we all face today.

EXCERPT:

A 15-year-old supporter of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party was arrested in Britain after he made jokes about a local Conservative Party politician online.

The schoolboy, only referred to as Fraser, was arrested by four officers from the West Midlands Police at his home in the early hours of August 3rd. He was taken from his family home and searched in front of his neighbours, locked in a cell, fingerprinted, had a mugshot taken, and had a sample of his DNA taken. Meanwhile, two officers searched his bedroom, and he was pressured to hand over his phone for other officers to search.

While the police force has yet to confirm the reason for the 15-year-old’s arrest, The Telegraph reports that it appears that it was a result of comments made by Fraser online about the standard of dress of the leader of the Conservative Party on the Wolverhampton City Council, Simon Bennett, who has admitted referring the boy to the police over the posts.

In one post, he complained that the Tory councillor had attended a meeting in a T-shirt and shorts and later said he expressed approval when Bennet then attended a subsequent meeting in a suit. Fraser said that he was glad the councillor did not turn up “looking like a rent boy”, a derogatory phrase for homosexual prostitutes in Britain.

The US has withdrawn all of its bombers from RAF Fairford, the UK military base at the centre of an incident being investigated by counter terror police.

A statement from a US department official confirmed on Sunday it had removed its bombers – thought to be about a dozen B-1s – from the base back to their home stations in America.

The US did not give a reason for the withdrawal, but it follows a major incident on 27 September when police were alerted to three “suspicious vehicles” near the airbase.

Five men were initially arrested on suspicion of terror offences near the base and subsequently released on bail. A sixth man, a UK-Iranian national, was also later arrested and released on bail.

Whitehall sources have not disputed the decision from Washington was in response to the incident at the airbase in Gloucestershire.

The BBC has also been told it was a military rather than a political decision – taken at an operational level – and communicated from the US military to its British counterparts.

The UK’s Ministry of Defence has not commented.

Tracking websites showed B-1 bombers flying out of RAF Fairford on Sunday.

British police on Tuesday arrested a 22-year-old man in London on suspicion of a terror offence over a security incident at a U.S.-run military air base in England that authorities have linked to Iran.

The arrest is the seventh in connection with a suspected plot against RAF Fairford, located 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of London, which has been used by American bombers to strike Iran during this year’s war.

Counter Terrorism Policing said the man, a British national, was detained in the Westminster area of central London on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts.

Six other men have been released on bail under investigation.

Vicki Evans, the senior national coordinator for counterterrorism policing said detectives “continue to pursue multiple lines of enquiry” and “remain committed to investigating all possible angles.”

British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has made an extraordinary admission about Britain’s Channel migration system, saying “you can almost guarantee that every woman” waiting in northern France has “probably been raped along the journey,” according to reports from the British press.

Mahmood then delivered the line that will reverberate through Britain’s immigration debate: “We’re not in control of this border.” The Home Secretary admitted that criminal trafficking organizations effectively determine which migrants reach northern France and ultimately board dinghies for Britain.

“The sifting of the people that end up in the north of France and are about to get on a dinghy is done by criminal gangs who are also, by the way, people traffickers,” she said. Mahmood added that male migrants are also subjected to abuse, intimidation and threats along the journey.

Her description presents a brutal contradiction at the heart of the Channel system: Britain says it controls immigration, yet organized smugglers can still decide who boards boats and reaches British waters. For immigration restrictionists and sovereigntists, Mahmood’s own language amounts to unusually direct confirmation of their argument that border sovereignty remains compromised.

Mahmood herself argued that such a system cannot determine who eventually settles in Britain. “That is not the model that should decide whether somebody gets to come to the UK, make this their place of sanctuary and ultimately become one of us,” she said.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday that a “foreign actor” was involved in a thwarted plot near a British military base used by U.S. forces, warning that threats against American interests will carry consequences.

“What happened, what almost happened, what could have happened in the U.K. over the weekend is a very serious situation,” Rubio told Fox News’ “Hannity.” “It’s one that clearly involves the hands of a foreign actor.”

Rubio declined to identify the foreign actor but pointed to Iran as an example of a country that has threatened American interests around the world.

“We’re going to always take that very seriously,” Rubio said. “There will be repercussions for that, if it ever were to happen or even attempted.”

British police arrested five men early Sunday after authorities were alerted to three large white vans parked near RAF Fairford in western England. The base is operated by Britain’s Royal Air Force and used by the U.S. military.

All five suspects, British nationals in their early 20s from London, were released on bail Monday as authorities continued investigating whether people acting on behalf of a foreign state were involved.

President Donald Trump said Monday that the incident “might be” connected to Iran and criticized the decision to release the suspects.

“I wouldn’t have done that,” Trump said.

British security officials warned that a Chinese research body is funding academic work that aids Beijing’s spy agency.

Britain’s MI5 security service on Wednesday named the China General Technology Research Institute (CGTRI) as a funder of work by more than 100 academics based in the UK, including artificial intelligence research, according to an espionage alert the agency published. The service said CGTRI is closely tied to China’s civilian spy agency — the Ministry of State Security (MSS) — and exists mainly to bankroll research that sharpens that agency’s technical tools.

“MI5 has identified that the primary purpose of CGTRI is to fund academic research that directly improves MSS technical capability for espionage,” the alert stated in part.

U.K. academics have contributed to CGTRI-funded projects on AI, cybersecurity, covert communications systems and steganography, according to the MI5 alert. The agency said some universities and researchers likely did not know CGTRI’s link to Chinese intelligence when they took the money, Reuters reported.

The Caspian Sea, the world’s largest lake, is fast becoming one of the most important trade arteries on the planet. Covering 143,000 square miles, an area larger than Germany, the Caspian is the salty remnant of an ancient sea, the Paratethys, cut off from the world’s oceans more than 5 million years ago. Today, it carries the Middle Corridor, the rail-and-ferry route that links China and Central Asia to Europe while bypassing both Russia and Iran. With Russia under sanctions, the Strait of Hormuz closed by war, and the Red Sea menaced by the Houthis, the route across the Caspian has become one of the few reliable paths between East and West. Washington should secure it by deepening its partnership with the two countries that anchor the corridor on either shore, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.

The world’s largest economies have noticed. China is building a railway through Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan that will feed its freight into the corridor. The European Union and international lenders committed over $11 billion to the route in 2024. The United States brokered the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, a transit corridor through southern Armenia that secures a crucial link on the route between Azerbaijan and Turkey. The traffic is following the investment: Freight on the corridor rose 22% in the first eight months of this year, and east-west transit jumped 55%. Kazakhstan, which shipped roughly 94% of its oil exports last year through a pipeline to Russia’s Black Sea coast that Ukrainian drones have repeatedly struck, now plans to send more crude across the Caspian to the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline.

London — President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have criticized British counterterror police’s handling of a possible plot targeting a U.K. air base used by U.S. forces, with Rubio calling it a “very serious” incident and alleging that it “clearly involved” a foreign actor, and the president suggesting it “might be” Iran.

Five British nationals, all men in their mid-20s, were arrested Sunday morning in an English village near the British air force base RAF Fairford on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act. The base has been used by American bombers to launch attacks on Iran during the seven-month war.

All five men were released on bail Monday, with the head of the U.K.’s Counter Terror Policing unit stressing they would remain “subject to stringent conditions on their movement and contact with others” and that they “absolutely remain under investigation as we explore multiple lines of enquiry.”

The fact that they were released so quickly and not charged with any suspected crimes, and that authorities did not report finding any explosives or weapons, has fueled speculation, however, that the men may not have been planning to attack the base at all. Some local media outlets have cited U.K. security sources saying the men may just have been looking to steal fuel.

Argentina slammed for ‘illegitimate threats’ against Falkland Islands | World | News– www.express.co.uk
News Source

EXCERPT:

Argentina has been slammed after issuing a fresh Falkland Islands threat as it ramps up its claim of sovereignty over the British archipelago. The country’s President, Javier Milei, accused the UK of illegally plundering resources via a huge oil scheme. The Sea Lion oil project was put forward by London-based Rockhopper Exploration and Israel-based Navitas Petroleum (NPDP) with a reported projected cost of £1.55billion. The field was discovered in 2010, and phases one and two of the operation have been approved by the The Falkland Islands Government, which has granted exploitation licenses valid for 35 years.

Yesterday, Milei posted on X: “DEFENDING WITH FACTS. I instructed the Foreign Ministry and our legal teams to initiate international arbitration against the United Kingdom for the illegal plundering of our resources through the Sea Lion Project in the North Malvinas Basin. If in 2 weeks the United Kingdom does not halt the illegitimate exploitation, we will go to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.

“THE MALVINAS ARE ARGENTINE and they are defended with facts, not words. VLLC!!!”

The International Tribunal is an independent body in Hamburg responsible for the application of the United Nations’ Convention on the Law of the Sea.

A spokesman for NPDP told the Express: “We are working in full compliance with all applicable law and are in very close contact with the government in the FI. We expect the FCDO to respond appropriately to Argentina’s illegitimate threats against both Falklands / UK businesses and individuals as we continue to develop the project and ensure that it remains on track.”

Conservative Shadow Foreign Secretary, Tom Tugendhat, said: “Our foreign secretary preaches international law when it hurts Britain but won’t use it to protect us. Businesses operating around the Falkland Islands are looking for help against aggression but instead the Foreign Secretary is silent.

It comes after Milei warned in April that his government “will respond with all necessary diplomatic measures” to protect the country’s interests in the face of the project.

He added: “We act with determination against unilateral and illegitimate activities that seek to exploit resources belonging to the Argentine people.”

The Chair of the Falkland Islands’ Legislative Assembly, Jack Ford MLA, previously told the Express that the territory is pursuing a “very ambitious” infrastructure policy.

He added regarding the Sea Lion scheme: “I think it is a positive thing for the long-term economic future of the Falklands, and that long-term economic stability.”

When asked if large-scale projects of this nature could mean Argentina sees the islands as a more valuable asset, Mr Ford said: “We’re always mindful of all potential risks as part of the project.”

He added: “We’re working closely with the UK government on this project, and the work required to ensure its success, and we’ll continue to do so.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, British police made several arrests in connection with a bombing plot at RAF Fairford, which is currently under investigation for potential ties to Iran.

“We had them under investigation,” Trump told reporters on Sunday, confirming the reports and suggesting that they were already known to authorities as dangerous migrants.

(VIDEO) Trump Confirms Foiled Attack on UK’s RAF Fairford Base

Five foreign-looking suspects were photographed in British police detention after their suspicious vans, which were suspected of carrying chemicals and explosives, were reported traveling toward the air base. They sure don’t look like native Brits.

Following the news this morning, Talk TV host Alex Phillips went off on UK Defense Secretary Wes Streeting, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, “every single Muppet in the unions,” and “every single past prime minister for the past 10 years” for their refusal to acknowledge the dangers of open borders and mass migration.

“You should join a dot, right, between Iran saying, ‘we shipped in various terrorists from the IRGC to your country via a boat over the Channel.’ They told you! it came out of their mouths,” Phillips said. This is seemingly a reference to a Telegraph report earlier this year that details the human smuggling network used by the IRGC to bring agents into the UK.  An unnamed Iranian official even told the Telegraph this summer, “Of course, don’t forget that our armed forces have influence and run the [smuggling] routes in some cases if they want.”

However, the Labour conference will get underway this weekend with polls beginning to show for the first time in almost two years that Labour might be within touching distance of winning a majority at the next election – 12 months on from polls that suggested Reform UK could win a huge victory.

NEW YORK — British Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces a double test on the world stage Tuesday when he meets U.S. President Donald Trump for the first time and addresses the United Nations General Assembly.

It’s a baptism of fire for the neophyte leader, who has gone from mayor of the northwest England city of Manchester to leader of a G7 country in a matter of weeks.

He will urge Trump to step up U.S. support for Ukraine and hopes to avoid U.S. criticism of the U.K.’s decision to ban trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

He also will try to send a message that Britain can play a key role in solving the world’s biggest challenges, from conflict in the Middle East to the dizzying evolution of artificial intelligence. And he will attempt to turn the page on a decade of Brexit-driven discord with the U.K.’s European neighbors.

As he flew to New York for the annual gathering of world leaders, Burnham announced he had authorized limited military support for Saudi Arabia to repel attacks from Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. A Royal Air Force plane will refuel Saudi jets engaged in “defensive” action to shoot down Houthi missiles, he said.

Burnham said he would raise with Trump ways to end the on-off war between the U.S. and Iran, which has choked off oil tankers moving through the Strait of Hormuz and sent global fuel prices soaring. Houthi attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure are making the problem worse while rendering Burnham’s pledge to ease cost of living pressure for British voters even harder.

Parents whose children commit crimes could lose their benefits, face fines and even be jailed, a minister has said.

Jake Richards said the youth justice system “should hold parents to account in a proportionate way for ensuring that they play their role in keeping communities safe”.

His comments come after the government set out plans to strengthen and expand parenting orders, which can force parents or guardians to address their child’s behaviour by attending counselling sessions, which can even include residential courses, or face a fine of up to £1,000.

Richards, the youth justice minster, said parents would only face jail “in the most extreme cases” and sentences would be up to judges’ discretion. He described the proposed changes in England and Wales as part of a “carrot-and-stick” approach.

“Parenting orders are going to make sure that parents are more involved in the process by which we try to turn around young offenders,” Richards told the Times.

“Yes, that will have some stick. It could be custodial, or docking benefits – ultimately it will be up to a judge. But we want them to be more involved and that comes with responsibilities as well.”

The disparity is sharper in several high-profile offense categories.
