Greta Thunberg, like AOC, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Hasan Piker and some of the worst social media influencers, has a knack for getting famous. And that means shifting to capture the shifting attention of the audience.
A while back, a younger Greta figured out that she could become famous and skip school by announcing that she would skip school until the environment was fixed. That sort of thing got tiresome a while back and Greta, ahead of the curved, skipped on to Gaza, terrorists, hating Jews, etc.
Her movement, Fridays for Future, is still around. As its site notes, “#FridaysForFuture is a youth-led and -organised movement that began in August 2018, after 15-year-old Greta Thunberg and other young activists sat in front of the Swedish parliament every schoolday for three weeks, to protest against the lack of action on the climate crisis. She posted what she was doing on Instagram and Twitter and it soon went viral.”
Here’s Greta reacting to being asked about the protests.
Greta Thunberg is told about the latest Fridays for Future demo happening in Berlin – the climate protest she helped found. She bursts out in laughter. "Really? They're still doing that?" Jokes on you climatetards. Left has moved on. pic.twitter.com/5ii9b2X7Oy
As another member of the Thunberg class quipped, “New Party, Who Dis?” Gaza is the omnicause now. Not the ‘planet’. Tomorrow it’ll be something else that makes this human troll famous.
The cause is dead. Long live the cause. The issue isn’t the issue, the issue is the revolution. And getting a lot of likes on social media.
A billionaire who has been dubbed the “asylum king” rakes in more than £3million a day through housing illegal migrants across his property empire, it has been revealed.
Clearsprings Ready Homes, the Essex-based asylum accommodation provider, pulled in a remarkable £3.26million per day over the past financial year.
The firm’s annual accounts for the 12 months ending in January revealed turnover of nearly £1.2billion, yielding £37.7million in post-tax profit and swelling its asset base to £89million, according to The Sun.
It is owned by Graham King, who has featured on The Sunday Times Rich List for three consecutive years after securing the huge Government contract to house illegal migrants in his properties.
Clearsprings is one of three private contractors, alongside Mears and Serco, paid by the Home Office to accommodate the 89,089 asylum seekers and failed claimants currently living at the taxpayers’ expense.
Some 23,529 of those illegal migrants arriving by small boat have come this year alone.
But despite accommodating nearly 10,000 fewer people, with service users falling from 39,919 to 29,995, the company’s bottom line barely flinched. Despite this, profits slipped only modestly from £44.145million the previous year.
“There has been a decrease in the requirement for asylum accommodation, including contingency accommodation such as hotels, despite continued political and economic upheaval in a number of countries contributing to high levels of asylum applications in the UK during the year,” Clearsprings said.
The Government has argued replacing taxpayer-funded hotels with former military sites will reduce costs and help bring the asylum system under control.
By June 2026, there were an estimated 16,000 illegal migrants housed in hotels, half of the 32,000 a year prior.
However, documents reveal Clearsprings is scouting for additional properties in areas including Bedford, Southampton, the Forest of Dean, Caerphilly and Wrexham. Recent schemes have involved converting a former care home and a disused village hall into migrant housing.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp condemned the arrangement in stark terms, saying: “Hard-pressed taxpayers are shelling out more than £1billion a year to house illegal immigrants thanks to the Labour Government’s lack of border control. It’s a huge scam.
“Almost 1,000 illegal immigrants have crossed in the last three days alone due to calm seas. [Home Secretary] Shabana Mahmood has failed and the crossings continue.
“Why do illegal immigrants get hotels or flats and handouts when so many honest people here are struggling to make ends meet?
“It’s time for the Conservative Borders Plan — leave the ECHR and then the illegal immigrants can be rapidly deported, not accommodated at extortionate cost.
“Let’s put British taxpayers first, not illegal immigrants.”
William Yarwood, campaigns director at the TaxPayers’ Alliance, was equally forthright, commenting: “Making £37million in profit from taxpayer-funded asylum accommodation is an absolute scandal. While illegal Channel crossings continue, private contractors are cashing in on the Government’s failure to secure our borders.”
He called on ministers to “stop the boats, detain and deport those with no right to remain and end this gravy train.”
The Home Office pushed back against the criticism, insisting it had delivered significant savings since taking office. A spokesman said: “Since the election, we have saved taxpayers over £1billion on asylum support.
“This report shows that the number of asylum seekers Clearsprings accommodate has reduced by almost 10,000.
“Compared with last year, 13,800 fewer asylum seekers are receiving taxpayer-funded accommodation.
“We are working on a fairer distribution of asylum accommodation across the country, closing all asylum hotels and moving to alternative accommodation, including former military sites.”
A violent male criminal in Indiana has begun identifying as transgender and has filed a lawsuit against an Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC) official claiming that a refusal to provide him with feminizing hormones and genital surgery amounts to a violation of his civil rights. Gregory Taylor, who now uses the name Starlene, has multiple convictions for violent behavior and is serving a 20-year sentence for the forcible confinement and assault of his girlfriend.
During the evening of December 11, 2013, Taylor and his girlfriend, Amber Deford, were smoking synthetic marijuana when Taylor began to become aggressive and threatened to burn down the house. Frightened, Deford attempted to leave the residence. However, Taylor announced that Deford “was going nowhere” and grabbed her legs. He then began consuming large amounts of prescription pills “like an animal,” according to court documents.
Concerned that Taylor may have overdosed, Deford suggested calling for medical assistance. He then began beating her legs until she handed over her phone to him. Taylor then began throwing bullets at a space heater and doused toilet paper with a household cleaner, telling Deford that it was “extremely flammable.” He threw the toilet paper into the space heater.
Worried about her safety, Deford concealed Taylor’s knife under an air mattress. Upon noticing that his knife had gone missing, Taylor held Deford down on the bed and held a second knife to her throat.
Attempting to de-escalate the situation, Dedford convinced Taylor to release her so she could retrieve more drugs. Taylor walked Deford to the door, warning her that she must be back in half an hour or he would “burn down the house.”
Deford walked to an acquaintance’s home and contacted police. Taylor was arrested, and a blood analysis later revealed that Taylor had ingested methamphetamine and benzodiazepines. Officers testified that they had photographed bruises on Deford’s legs and had recovered a knife from Taylor’s person. He was charged with, and convicted him of, criminal confinement. Taylor was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment, with a possible parole release in 2030.
At the time of conviction, Taylor had seven prior felony convictions, including battery and burglary, and three misdemeanor convictions. He had probation revoked on five occasions, and was on parole at the time he committed the crime.
As of June, Taylor is confined to the Indiana State Prion (ISP), a men’s facility. However, he has recently begun claiming to be transgender in what appears to be an attempt to secure a transfer to a women’s facility.
In a recent lawsuit filed September 22, Taylor claims to be transgender and argues that the DOC has not provided him with “medical treatment”, thereby violating his Eighth Amendment right to protection from cruel and unusual punishment.
In a supplementary filing processed by the court on October 20, Taylor cites an IDOC policy implemented in April 2022. The Health Care Services Directive (HCSD) 2.17A defines “gender” as “The male or female division of a species, especially as differentiated by social and cultural roles and behavior. The HCSD allows for convicted male criminals to be transferred into women’s prisons, and states, “Transgender and intersex offenders may not be assigned to gender-specific facilities based solely on their external genital anatomy.”
The HCSD policy mandates that an incarcerated individual who claims to identify as transgender must be referred for a mental health evaluation, which “will assist with housing assignments to provide the safest and most secure environments for the patient”.
The majority of the supplementary filing, at over a hundred pages, are selected sections of the most recent Standards of Care document published by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). Three of the six chapters included as supporting evidence for Taylor’s demands for hormones and genital surgery are titled: “Adolescents,” “Children,” and “Eunuchs”.
In a handwritten complaint written March 28, Taylor bizarrely wrote, “Why does [sic] staff at this facility make assumptions about my sexuality and automatically deem them [sic] unhealthy or deny my transgender experience and expression and then try and justify it by pathologizing it as something to be treated with medications or treatment… Asking me questions does not qualify as ‘medical care’ for gender dysphoria.” Taylor claimed this situation was making him “extremely suicidal”.
On June 2, Taylor was contacted by the Indiana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), noting that a previous attempt at correspondence had been returned to their office.
The letter, from Legal Director Kenneth Falk, is addressed to “transgender persons who have contacted us in the past”.
The memorandum discusses the HCSD 2.17A, “Health Services for Transgender and Gender Diverse Adults”, which states that the DOC must provide hormones and surgery to patients who claim a transgender status “when medically necessary”.
Governor Eric Holcomb signed HEA-1569 into law, which explicitly bans the IDOC from authorizing the use of state funds, state resources, or federal funds to facilitate what the statute defines as “sexual reassignment surgery” for incarcerated offenders. The ban went into effect on July 1, 2023, and effectively rescinded HCSD 2.17A.
“I do not want to alarm you as it is possible that hormonal care will continue as it has in the past. However, if the care is being terminated or limited in a way that adversely affects you, we believe that litigation may be appropriate,” said Falk. “It seems to us that terminating medically necessary hormones would be an 8th Amendment violation, although we would of course need to review your specific circumstances.”
“However, before we could consider filing any litigation for prisoners being injured, the prisoners would have to fully exhaust all available grievances,” Falk advised. “Therefore, if your care is being terminated or disrupted and you wish to consider filing litigation to address this, you need to immediately file a grievance. I have set out below a summary of the DOC grievance procedure and what a prisoner may do if you do not receive timely responses to your grievances or appeals.”
Further detailed and step-by-step directions were continued in the letter, though this portion has not been fully included in the filing.
The letter also references “a deposition in our case on behalf of two prisoners that challenges the Indiana law that prohibits gender affirming surgery.” The two prisoners being represented by the Indiana ACLU are both men who have abused children. Cory Wallace, who calls himself Nikki Wallace, brutally physically abused his 4-month-old son, resulting in the infant’s death. Wayne Allison, who has adopted the name “Astrid,” raped his 11 year-old sister both vaginally and anally on several occasions. The ACLU has combined the cases of Wallace and Allison in their legal filings.
🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
The ACLU has teamed up with a transgender inmate in Indiana to fight a ban on taxpayer-funded "gender affirming" surgeries for prisoners.
The inmate, Cory "Nikki" Wallace, is serving a 72-year sentence for brutally murdering a baby.https://t.co/fO16WmM3MJ
In 2016, Wallace was convicted of battery and negligence resulting in the death of his infant son, Jensen, and sentenced to 72 years in prison. The Delaware County Court heard that Wallace failed to seek medical treatment for the infant after the child suffered what proved to be fatal head injuries. After realizing the baby had died, Wallace set fire to the boy’s room in an attempt to cover up what he had done.
Judge Vorhees said for those who attended the trial, viewing images of the infant’s corpse was “totally surreal, an out-of-body experience … like watching the worst horror movie you could imagine.” The judge emphasized that in her 14 years on the bench, she had “never seen such horrible injuries inflicted on a child, let alone a baby.”
In 2023, Wallace began referring to himself as “Nikki” in legal and administrative records. In July of that year, Wallace filed a legal complaint demanding a hefty payout of $500,000 as compensation for not having been granted state-funded cosmetic surgeries.
Wallace is being represented by ACLU of Indiana attorneys Gavin Rose, Kenneth Falk, and Stevie Pactor, who are demanding that Wallace be provided with “sexual reassignment surgery,” and are seeking to overturn the state law banning public funds being spent on “gender-affirming” surgeries for inmates.

The ACLU has stepped in to support a transgender pedophile in his fight to force Indiana taxpayers to cover "gender affirming" surgeries for inmates.
Wayne "Astrid" Allison is serving a 27-year sentence for raping his 11-year-old sister.https://t.co/XNZxPsZWmP
In April 2024, Allison filed a formal complaint against the IDOC signaling his intent to challenge the constitutionality of a recently-implemented state law banning public funds being spent on “gender-affirming” surgeries for inmates.
Allison was charged in December 2013 with five counts of child molestation and one count of incest. Allison, who was 30-years-old at the time, preyed upon his younger sister, who was 11-years-old. According to an affidavit provided to Reduxx by the Monroe Court, Allison raped his sister both vaginally and anally on several occasions during the period between July and November 2013.
In addition to repeatedly raping the girl, he groomed her by showing her pornography.
“Astrid Allison, also known as Wayne Allison, is an adult transgender female prisoner confined in a male institution [New Castle Correctional Facility] within the Indiana Department of Correction (DOC). She is diagnosed with gender dysphoria and has been receiving female hormones and a hormone to suppress her testosterone for more than three years,” reads the complaint, filed in April 2024. “Although the hormones have helped to lessen the debilitating symptoms of gender dysphoria, surgery is necessary to relieve her continuing symptoms of serious depression and anxiety.”
Allison states that he had one interview with a psychologist in February 2023 before the process of securing a recommendation for genital surgery was halted. He argues that a castration surgery to invert his penile tissue is a “medical necessity” and that denying cosmetic surgery for his genitals violates the Eighth Amendment, which protects inmates from “cruel and unusual punishment”.
The legal complaint cites standards devised by the for-profit organization the American Psychiatric Association (APA), and the lobby group known as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). Reduxx has repeatedly exposed the APA, which sells their manuals to medical professionals, as having involved academics who advocated favorably for, or sympathized with, pedophilia. Similarly, WPATH devised its latest Standards of Care while gathering the opinions of anonymous men involved in a pedophilic castration fetish forum.
Despite having raped his 11-year-old sister when he was 30, Allison claims to have been “female” since he was a child.
In March 2025, a federal judge has ordered the Indiana Department of Corrections to arrange urgent “gender affirming surgery” for a trans-identified male convicted of murdering a baby. In a shocking decision, Judge Richard Young ruled that Autumn Cordellioné, born Jonathan Richardson, was suffering from “irreparable harm” from not having the various plastic surgeries he had requested, despite the fact that a psychiatrist testified that Richardson was not suffering from gender dysphoria.
Richardson was convicted in 2002 after his 11-month-old stepdaughter died in his care while her mother was at work. Having served less than half of his 55-year sentence, Richardson was quietly released 30 years early in late December of 2025.

As previously reported by Reduxx, in 2023, the ACLU of Indiana filed a legal complaint on behalf of the transgender baby killer claiming that the IDOC was subjecting him to “cruel and unusual punishment” by denying him the various plastic surgeries he had demanded. The 2023 ACLU lawsuit advocating for Richardson’s requested surgeries was successful the following year, when the United States District Court of Indiana ruled that Richardson had been subjected to “cruel and unusual punishment” by being denied the various plastic surgeries he had demanded.
In the suit, ACLU lawyers refer to Richardson as an “adult transgender female prisoner confined in a male institution,” and complains that “the total ban on gender-affirming surgery violates [his] right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment.”
Among a list of demands prepared by Richardson and presented as evidence in court was a document titled “Surgeries to Reach My Ideal Self.” The first item on the list, the court heard, was a “vagina,” followed by: breast implants, a brow lift, a brow reduction, a tummy tuck, gluteal implants (BBL), a uterus transplant, hair removal, and wigs.
The mother of the baby girl Richardson strangled to death opposed his legal bid to obtain surgery. Linda Thomas submitted a brief statement expressing her concern that his identity may be concealed from her when he is released from prison.
“On the day he murdered my child, I personally observed Plaintiff with a fresh bleeding tattoo of my child’s name on his arm while I was at the hospital that evening,” Thomas said. “I live in fear for myself and my children of the day [Richardson] is released from prison, which largely increases at the thought that [his] identity may be concealed upon release.”
ACLU attorneys under the leadership of Kenneth Falk attempted to have Thomas’ testimony dismissed as court evidence on the basis that “Ms. Cordellioné objected to the relevance of this declaration.”
The recent spate of riots that have caused billions in damages and injured thousands of police officers was a result of the failures of the national government to maintain law and order, French people believe while a majority fear that their nation is facing a “genuine crisis of the regime”.
What began as small-scale demonstrations in September at a few schools concerning funding and class sizes ballooned into a national revolt in which far-left agitators and their co-belligerents from activist groups, trade unions, and ethnic minority enclaves sowed destruction and violence. The violence, which caused damage worth upwards of $2 billion, with public building set on fire, nearly three thousand businesses looted or damaged, and over two thousand police officers and gendarmes injured, was felt nationwide.
According to the latest survey from Odoxa for Paris paper of record Le Figaro, 79 per cent of the French public put the blame for the federal government for failing to keep a lid on the chaos.
Perhaps more concerningly, the poll also found that nearly two-thirds (64 per cent) believe that the riots demonstrated a “genuine crisis of the regime”, compared to just 35 per cent who though the unrest was an issue of security and public order.
The opinion that the state itself is facing an emergency was held across the political spectrum, with 60 per cent of National Rally supporters agreeing with the sentiment, as well as 72 per cent of Socialists, and 82 per cent of supporters of far-left La France Insoumise (France in Rebellion/LFI) which has been accused of fomenting the unrest.
Although riots are certainly not unknown for the French, the president of Odoxa, Gaël Sliman, compared the latest round of riots to the student revolt — inspired Communist dictator Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution in China — which swept France in May of 1968, often held up as a pivotal moment for the French far-left, including by LFI presidential candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon, who began his political career as a Bolshevik Trotskyist activist during the protests.
“Our fellow citizens are probably aware that, according to official figures, since the start of the movement at the end of September, more than 2,200 police officers and gendarmes have been injured, ten times more than the number of civilians: between 200 and 300 demonstrators, but also rioters and members of the Black Bloc, have been injured, and not necessarily by the police,” Sliman said.
“However, they probably don’t know that this also represents almost twice as many injuries among law enforcement as in May 1968… There were 1,233 injuries among law enforcement between May 3 and May 27, 1968, according to the count by the Ministry of the Interior at the time,” she added.
Following weeks of widely publicised footage and images of police coming under attack by radical leftists and youth hooligans, the vast majority of the public (85 per cent) have also come to the conclusion that police are not “sufficiently protected” when confronting “violent rioters”.
However, on this point, there is a significant divide between the left and right political factions, with left-leaning individuals being more likely to say that facing violent rioters is merely part of the role for police, while conservatives and centrists are more likely to view the risks as “not part of their job”.
Commenting on the violence experienced by officers week after week, deputy director of operational support for the specialised CRS anti-riot police, Sébastien Malzieu remarked: “The degree of violence is high and, above all, our units are facing a sharp increase in acts that increase tenfold with each demonstration.”
“If demonstrators threw paving stones in 1968, today we are arresting people equipped with hammers to break the cladding of buildings and stock up on heavy and sharp stones to target the police.”
The lack of provisioning for police has allegedly had significant consequences, with the Mayor of Limoges claiming last month that the infamous arson attack which burnt down the bell tower of the city’s 143-year-old City Hall came amid National Police officers literally running out of ammunition during the riots.
The Oxide survey found that the French public are broadly in favour of providing police and gendarmes with even supposedly controversial equipment to deal with rioters, including surveillance drones (85 per cent), armoured vehicles (76 per cent), crowd control grenades (62 per cent), and stun grenades (59 per cent).
Meanwhile, the public also appear willing to sacrifice liberties in order to contain the mob, including 70 per cent who said that they would be fine with authorities suspending social media services to prevent violent organising, and 64 per cent who approved of shutting down social media entirely in a given area to quell unrest.
The clear desire among the French for law and order has apparently been a boon to the campaign of National Rally presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, who has seen her poll numbers rise in recent weeks as she pledged to restore order to the streets of France. Conversely, President Emmanuel Macron, who has taken a soft, largely hands-off approach during the riots, has seen his support fall to the lowest of any modern French leader at just 13 per cent.
Éric Zemmour, leader of France’s right-wing Reconquête party, has formally announced that he will run in the country’s presidential election, the first round of which is scheduled for April 18, 2027 with a run-off two weeks later.
Speaking on TF1’s evening news bulletin on November 10, Zemmour said he was standing so that France would remain French and its future would be French, which he described as the essential point. He argued that no other candidate or programme was capable of halting the country’s decline.
The 68-year-old former journalist had already said on September 17, in an interview with BFMTV, that he would seek the presidency. His entourage stressed at the time that this was not yet a formal declaration, according to French media.
Immigration dominated his pitch. Zemmour defended what he calls negative immigration, with more people leaving France than arriving, and said he wanted two million fewer immigrants in the country by the end of a five-year term.
This will be his second run for the Élysée. In 2022, he finished fourth in the first round with 7.07 per cent of the vote and then called on his supporters to back Marine Le Pen, candidate of the National Rally (RN), in the run-off against Emmanuel Macron.
Relations between the two parties have since soured. In an interview with Spanish news agency Europa Press in May, Zemmour flatly ruled out any dialogue with the RN before the presidential vote and said each party would go its own way.
On TF1, he accused Le Pen, who is once again the RN’s candidate, of failing to fight what he called the “great replacement” and of rejecting a union of the Right. He told viewers that those who wanted such a union should vote for Reconquête to put it in first place and in a position to impose that alliance on the others.
The polls point to an uphill struggle. A survey by Elabe published on July 11 credited Zemmour with between 2.5 and 3.5 per cent of first-round voting intentions, with Le Pen clearly in the lead.
To appear on the ballot, he would first need to collect 500 sponsorships from elected officials spread across at least 30 departments or overseas territories.
Zemmour has also been a vocal critic of the European Union’s approach to migration, attacking the bloc’s Pact on Migration and Asylum and accusing EU institutions of backing mass immigration for ideological reasons. Reconquête sits in the European Parliament with the Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN) group.
A group of German politicians have proposed a register for people who spread alleged “disinformation” about climate change.
Apollo News reports that a group of five CDU (Christian Democrats) MPs in the state legislature of Baden-Württemberg are calling on the state government to create a public list of individuals who have repeatedly spread alleged “disinformation” about climate change.
The proposal follows a motion submitted by former Baden-Württemberg Consumer Protection Minister Peter Hauk and four fellow CDU members of the state parliament. The legislators are asking the state government whether it considers the creation of a publicly accessible register to be “reasonable and legally viable” and, if so, what measures it would take to establish one. They also want to know whether the government plans to pursue other recommendations put forward by the Consumer Commission. The motion is dated October 27 and was formally submitted to the state parliament on November 3.
The Consumer Commission is an independent advisory body to the state government of Baden-Württemberg, which is currently made up of a coalition between leftist Greens and the nominally conservative CDU.
In early October, the commission published a statement in which it recommended the establishment of a public registry for individuals and organizations that repeatedly disseminate information contradicting the mainstream climate change narrative.
The proposed database would record statements and positions made by the individuals concerned, identify content classified as false, and provide users with information deemed accurate, together with links to supporting sources.
The commission’s definition of climate misinformation extends beyond denying global warming or stating that human activity is not responsible for it, encompassing claims that measures meant to “protect the climate” are “ineffective or harmful.”
Consequently, the proposal would cover not only statements about the alleged scientific evidence for climate change but also political arguments over the necessity, effectiveness, and possible negative consequences of specific climate policies.
The commission recommends social media companies be required to remove automated accounts that disseminate “climate misinformation” and prevent such content from appearing in users’ feeds. It also proposes classifying the spread of “climate misinformation” through AI chatbots as a prohibited AI practice, which could expose providers to government sanctions.
The statement’s principal authors are Andreas Oehler, a finance professor based in Bamberg, and economist Matthias Horn.
Less than three weeks before Spain’s snap general election, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez faces renewed scrutiny over Ceuta’s mass invasion after protected witnesses implicated Moroccan officers in facilitating the operation and intelligence records exposed previously undisclosed warnings.
On Tuesday, 10 November, four protected witnesses testified before the National High Court. According to El Español, they identified more than a dozen Moroccan security commanders and described officers pushing migrants into the sea and directing them towards Ceuta. One witness said riot police controlled a barrier, allowing groups of roughly 400 people to advance at a time.
Police investigators had already identified two senior Moroccan commanders in footage recorded at the frontier. A September report from the National Police’s immigration and border unit, CENIF, described indications of an organized operation involving Moroccan security personnel.
Addressing parliament on 3 September, Sánchez insisted that no Spanish intelligence agency, diplomatic service, European institution or international body had provided ‘solid evidence’ that Morocco planned or executed the invasion. Instead, he blamed a combination of social-media rumours, criminal profiteers and, of course, Russia and Israel, arguing that these factors had interacted ‘probably not in a coordinated manner’. He also reiterated his earlier position that Spain ‘must continue to cooperate with Morocco’.
Sánchez also denied receiving extraordinary advance warnings. Yet documents released in September showed that the CNI alerted the government delegation in Ceuta and the Civil Guard on 29 July to calls for a mass border assault the following day, which circulated through online groups comprising around 180,000 members. The agency maintains that it could not predict the eventual scale.
Gonzalo Sanz, chief of staff to the government delegate in Ceuta, resigned amid a dispute over whether he had passed on the warning. On 6 November, Cadena SER reported that Secretary of State for Security Aina Calvo omitted the specific CNI warning to the Civil Guard from a chronology submitted to investigators.
Nor was the border breach the only violation of Spanish sovereignty kept from public view. On 12 October, Sánchez finally acknowledged that Moroccan warships had entered Ceuta’s territorial waters during the crisis, dismissing the incursions as isolated incidents despite Spain having deployed naval vessels to confront them.
For Ceuta, the price of Madrid’s failure to contain the invasion has been concrete. Of the more than 80,000 who invaded at the end of July, between 5,000 and 10,000 remain in the enclave. Prosecutors recorded 35 reported sexual assaults by mid-September, including attacks on migrant minors, and identified increases in property crime and offences involving resistance to police. The city’s Chamber of Commerce estimated economic losses of up to €74 million.
Even on 10 November, 3,668 unaccompanied minors remained in Ceuta’s care, while authorities were only beginning to dismantle the emergency port camps. Sánchez’s assurances of control ring hollow against that record.
After the recent revelations, it is becoming increasingly clear that Sánchez and members of his government, as well as the Ceuta government delegation, bear responsibility for what happened. Right-wing Vox had already sought criminal accountability, filing a complaint against Sánchez, Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska and Calvo, accusing them of concealment, failure to pursue crimes and collaboration with terrorism.
Separately, Vox called for parliamentary backing to pursue treason proceedings under Article 102 of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court dismissed the complaint on 4 November for insufficient individualized evidence, but said the National High Court’s ongoing investigation could still uncover grounds for proceedings against senior officials.
On 10 November, Sánchez’s government approved further CNI declassification at Judge María Tardón’s request. With the 29 November election approaching, the Socialists trail the PP by 27.1 to 31.1 per cent in November polling, while Vox stands at 18.9 per cent. The exposure of Sánchez’s already obviously false account of what happened in Ceuta adds to mounting pressure over housing, corruption scandals and October’s deadly train crash.
Campaigner, whistleblower and former Detective Constable Maggie Oliver appeared on Nigel Farage’s GB News show last night as her foundation takes the government to the High Court over its failure to implement recommendations from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
Oliver said victims who had received promises for years felt “that they are being trampled all over again, that they don’t matter”.
“Promises are easy and we keep hearing them. Let’s see the promises convert into action”, she said.
'The Prime Minister makes these commitments following Russell Brand…every one of those [grooming gangs] survivors feel like they're being trampled on again'
The Maggie Oliver Foundation’s judicial review is currently being heard and challenges the government’s alleged failure to honour the commitments made following IICSA, which spent seven years examining institutional failures to protect children. It published 20 recommendations back in 2022.
The foundation argues that repeated assurances by ministers created a legitimate expectation that those commitments would be honoured. Its concerns include collecting better information about abuse, ending pain-inducing restraint on children in custody and improving access to justice for children in care.
Speaking outside the High Court in March, when her foundation secured permission to proceed with the judicial review, Oliver said: “I hope that this will shame those in power and make them re-examine their principles and their conscience, and that they will bring in the 20 recommendations that were the result of a seven-year inquiry.”
She questioned whether survivors should endure another lengthy investigation, with all the trauma that involves, if the government can ultimately decline to implement its recommendations.
Speaking on his programme, Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage questioned the value of another grooming gangs inquiry if ministers fail to act on findings already delivered.
“Why bother with another inquiry if you can’t even be bothered to implement the recommendations from the last one?” he asked.
The grooming gangs scandal has exposed both the rape and sexual exploitation of mostly working-class British girls at the hands of predominantly Pakistani-heritage men and the willingness of the establishment to turn a blind eye. Farage highlighted the scale of the scandal, describing “the rape and sexual exploitation of tens of thousands of girls up and down this country over the course of the last quarter of a century or maybe even longer”.
The Home Office is contesting the foundation’s legal challenge, with one spokesman claiming that the government was “going further than ever” to tackle child sexual abuse and exploitation.
For Oliver, the test remains whether those commitments actually produce meaningful change for survivors. Farage urged other broadcasters and newspapers to give her campaign the attention it deserves: “I hope the other broadcasters and newspapers and others reflect the gravity of this.”
While much of the British mainstream media has been reluctant to confront the full scale of the grooming gangs scandal, Farage said: “The rest of the world has looked on at this stuff and thought, how could this possibly be happening?”
“What could we do with these 12 billion euros? Lower fuel prices. Ease the burden on families. Improve care services. Keep hospitals open across the country. But the federal government is pouring this money into immigration into the welfare system,” wrote AfD MP René Springer.
In 2025, foreign beneficiaries of social welfare in households with minor children received a total of €12.2 billion in benefits, representing 59.4 percent of the total €20.54 billion paid out in this budget group, according to data obtained by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) from the federal government.
Ukrainian nationals made up the largest share among foreign recipients, accounting for €3.44 billion. They were followed by Syrians with €2.2 billion and Afghans with around €1 billion. Together, these three groups received roughly €6.7 billion, amounting to 55 percent of the benefits paid to foreigners in households with minor children.
These figures for welfare, also called citizens’ money, cover both single parents and couples with children. The money covers accommodation, heating, and social security contributions.
AfD MP René Springer told Bild newspaper: “Anyone who, as a foreigner, cannot permanently secure their livelihood on their own will lose their residence permit.”
He further added on X: “What could we do with these 12 billion euros? Lower fuel prices. Ease the burden on families. Improve care services. Keep hospitals open across the country. But the federal government is pouring this money into immigration into the welfare system. A government like this is at war with its own people. We will put an end to this policy. We will use these billions for our own people. For those who get up every day, work hard and don’t know how they’ll make ends meet at the end of the month.”

Of course, Germans with minors living in their household are also receiving social welfare in some circumstances. However, they only account for 40.5 percent of social welfare recipients in this category.
This figure is even more astonishing considering that of the under-18 population, 85 percent are German citizens and only 15 percent are foreigners. Of course, within the category of German citizens, there are millions with a foreign background.
Foreigners are siphoning off tens of billions in welfare
The pattern is even more pronounced when looking at all social welfare recipients, regardless of whether children live in the household.
Just 16 years ago, in 2010, 19.6 percent of those who received social welfare did not hold German citizenship. By 2020, this share almost doubled to 37.6 percent. In 2025, 47.3 percent of social welfare recipients are foreigners.
The amount of money flying out the door to foreigners in Germany has also dramatically risen year after year.
Foreigners received €6.92 billion in 2010 but by 2025, the figure climbed to €21.75 billion, which is triple the cost in 15 years.
The idea that foreigners were supposed to save the German budget and fill skilled positions is sharply contested by the tens of billions in welfare going to this group. Remix News reported last month that estimates indicate that foreigners have cost taxpayers at least 400 billion since 2016, a figure that is likely a low estimate.
More and more foreigners are being naturalized
As time goes on, more and more foreigners are becoming German citizens, which is distorting data on everything from crime to social welfare. The issue is that nobody has any idea how these foreigners are integrating due to the fact that migration background is not recorded, as it is in other countries like Denmark.
“Those who become naturalized citizens and continue to receive basic income support disappear from the statistics on foreigners. The welfare state must continue to finance the benefits.”
According to the Federal Statistical Office, more than 330,000 people were naturalized in 2025. It is not possible to determine from the available figures how many of them were receiving welfare the time of naturalization, though Raffelhüschen suspects a significant statistical effect whose exact size cannot yet be quantified.
When Michel Houellebecq published Submission a decade ago, while Muslim terrorists were butchering cartoonists, the book’s calm unimpassioned description of France falling under the sway of a Muslim Brotherhood party with the gradual acceptance of the protagonist, a dilettante academic intellectual, who ends the novel by ‘submitting’ and converting to Islam, and the rest of society, French literary circles saw it as both fantastic and unrealistic.
It’s a lot less fantastic now as Houellebecq faces a year in prison.
During the 2022 interview, Houellebecq quipped that “what the native French population, as they say, wants is not for Muslims to assimilate but for them to stop stealing from and attacking them. Or, alternatively, that they leave.” He warned that the situation risked spinning out of control into a cycle of violence.
The Union of Mosques of France filed a complaint, and Houellebecq was dragged into a court and then indicted for “incitement to discrimination, hatred or violence against a group of people on the grounds of origin, ethnicity, nationality, race or religion.”
If only he had made these remarks about Jews or Christians.
“Michel Houellebecq contests the criminal charge against him. The statements in question do not contain any element of exhortation, even implicit, and therefore fall under the protection of freedom of opinion and expression. A prophet of doom does not wish for misfortune, quite the contrary. His place is not in a courtroom,” his lawyer argued.
Now, Houellebecq, who is 70 years old, may be sentenced to a year in prison.
If a prominent French intellectual is sent to prison for suggesting that Islam is taking over France, that ought to disprove the notion that Islam is taking over France.
