Farage’s Reform Party Vows to Roll Back Mail-In Voting, Require English Language Ability

Nigel Farage told GB News he had won ‘very convincingly’ before the count was count declared | REFORM UK

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has said that it will take steps to prevent non-English speakers from voting in British elections, restrict mail-in ballots, and rescind voting rights from Commonwealth citizens in a bid to reverse some of the impact of mass migration on UK democracy.

Reform MP for East Wiltshire, Danny Kruger, has tabled amendments to the Representation of the People Bill, which he said Reform UK would enact if given power at the next general election, should the left-wing Labour government fail to implement them.

Kruger, a former member of the Conservative Party who has been given the brief of untangling the Blairite deep state with the aim of returning power to the British people and their representatives in Parliament, said that trust in the current voting system has been eroded as a result of mass migration and thus needs to be reformed to reflect that the United Kingdom is one nation.

“We increasingly see elections being fought on ethnic and sectarian grounds, with appeals in foreign languages, often for causes – Kashmir, Gaza – that are nothing to with Britain or the remit of the politicians being elected. We will insist that all regulated election material must be in languages that are native to the British Isles,” Kruger said.

The lawmaker added that around 2.5 million non-British citizens from the Commonwealth, a collection of former imperial holdings and territories with continued links to the UK, including countries like India, Nigeria, and Pakistan, are allowed to vote in British elections if they are living in the country. Kruger said that a Reform government would revoke the privilege and restrict voting to British and Irish citizens.

“Voting is a conditional right – conditional on membership of the British nation, on independence from undue influence, on understanding the democracy you are part of. These conditions used to be implicit; due to mass migration we need to make them explicit,” Kruger remarked.

Additionally, Reform’s Election Integrity Bill would roll back the widespread proliferation of mail-in voting, which Kruger described as a “flagrant abuse of a system designed for people physically unable to get to the polling station.”

The Reform MP said that around one in four votes at the last general election were submitted by post, which he claimed “enables the harvesting of votes by community elders in support of sectarian causes.”

Therefore, the party would look to limit postal voting to members of the British Armed Forces, diplomats serving abroad, and those who are “genuinely unable to vote in person”.

Finally, Kruger said that the election reforms would bar so-called “family voting”, in which typically an older male in often Muslim families accompanies his wife or daughters into the polling booth to ensure they vote the family line, thus facilitating sectarian voting. Independent observers reported widespread instances of such family voting in the recent special by-election in the Manchester constituency of Gorton and Denton earlier this year.

“We will empower officials in polling stations to insist people vote alone – and if they plainly can’t understand the voting system, their ballot will be set aside altogether (with the right of appeal to a magistrate),” Kruger said.

Commenting on the proposals, Reform UK Shadow Chancellor Robert Jenrick said: “It should not be controversial to say Britain should be run in the interests of the British people.”

Reform leader Nigel Farage added: “Political parties in Britain should not be able to campaign in foreign languages. British elections should be for the British people.”

Utopia’s Butchers

Skulls of Khmer Rouge victims. Wikimedia Commons, Anonymous, PD-self

by Lars Møller 

The sectarian, antidemocratic, and antirational character of egalitarianism has been exposed with grim consistency across two centuries of revolutionary experiment. From the Jacobin committees of public safety to the Politburos of Moscow, Beijing, and their satellite regimes in Africa and Asia, the pattern recurs: utopian doctrine, once armed with state power, converts political disagreement into existential crime and answers it with systematic slaughter.

A political monster from birth, socialism—along with its Siamese twin, communism, the progeny of egalitarianism and collectivism—does not merely fail to deliver abundance; it systematically produces oppression, terror, and bloodshed because its core premises—absolute knowledge of history’s direction, the moral necessity of liquidating class enemies, and the engineering of a purified human type—cannot tolerate the messy pluralism of ordinary social life.

The French Revolution supplied the template. Between 1793 and 1794, the Committee of Public Safety under Robespierre and his associates institutionalized the guillotine as an instrument of political hygiene. The revolutionary calendar, the cult of the Supreme Being, and the Law of Suspects were not accidental excesses; they expressed the conviction that a regenerated republic required the excision of every residual loyalty to throne, altar, or local custom. Enemies were no longer rival politicians but “enemies of the human race.” The same logic later animated Lenin’s Red Terror, the Cheka’s summary executions, Mao’s land-reform killings and Cultural Revolution struggle sessions, and the purges that accompanied socialist seizures of power from Ethiopia to Cambodia. 

In each case, the revolutionaries confronted external military pressure and internal resistance; yet the decisive factor was ideological. They believed themselves architects of a flawless social order whose realization justified any immediate cost. Dissent therefore registered not as legitimate opposition but as sabotage of progress itself. Absolute transformation of economy, culture, and personality demanded absolute obedience; terror supplied the short-cut.

This conceited disposition shares the psychological and structural architecture of murderous religious sectarianism. Both rest on a triad of (a) othering, (b) aversion, and (c) moralization. The opposing group is rendered alien, inherently defective, and cosmically dangerous. Language follows: rivals become pests, parasites, or tumors requiring surgical removal. Compromise appears as betrayal; electoral setback or doctrinal deviation becomes an existential threat that legitimates pre-emptive violence. Violence turns inwards as well. Jacobin factions guillotined their own moderates; Bolsheviks liquidated Socialist Revolutionaries and later Trotskyists; Maoists destroyed rival Red Guard units and party cadres judged insufficiently pure.

Charismatic entrepreneurs of radicalism exploit historical grievances, centralize authority, and punish deviation with exemplary severity. Where formal institutions have collapsed or proved incapable of delivering security and identity, the sectarian organization steps into the vacuum, offering club goods in exchange for total submission. History itself is instrumentalized: selected martyrdoms and ancient wrongs are woven into a continuous narrative of victimhood that demands contemporary blood payment.

Socialism dressed this sectarian psychology in the white coat of “science.” Marxism-Leninism presented itself as the exact science of historical development. Once the laws of motion of society were known, policy ceased to be a matter of prudential judgment and became the application of discovered necessity. Disagreement therefore constituted not merely political error but scientific heresy or, in extreme formulations, mental pathology. The claim conferred moral immunity: human costs could be catalogued as the temporary friction of inevitable advance. Forced collectivization in the Soviet Union and China rested on theoretical models of agricultural organization that ignored soil, climate, and peasant knowledge. When the resulting famines killed millions, the doctrine supplied its own alibi—saboteurs and wreckers—rather than conceding theoretical failure.

Lysenko’s rejection of Mendelian genetics in favor of a “Marxist biology” that promised the inheritance of acquired characteristics wrecked Soviet agricultural research for a generation and deepened the shortages that it was meant to cure. Surgical metaphors proliferated: society required cleansing, tumors had to be excised, the body politic had to be purified. The tyrant who claimed mastery of the sciences became the sole legitimate interpreter of reality; all others were reduced to objects of experimental correction.

The antirational core of the project lies here. Rational politics accepts the limits of knowledge, the permanence of conflicting interests, and the necessity of institutional restraints on power. Socialist doctrine denies those limits. It treats human beings as plastic material for the construction of a “new man” free of traditional attachments, religious consolations, and class loyalties. Erasing those attachments requires continuous violence against memory, family, and conscience. Democracy, understood as the institutionalization of disagreement and the periodic transfer of power, becomes an intolerable delay in the realization of the scientifically certified future.

Hence the characteristic sequence of events in the revolutionary seizure of absolute power: control over the state, suppression of rival parties, nationalization of the means of production, and the progressive extension of surveillance and terror into every sphere of private life. The process is not accidental corruption of an otherwise benign ideal; it is the logical working-out of premises that refuse to acknowledge the partial, fallible, and conflictual character of human association.

Conservative skepticism towards such projects rests on a more pessimistic anthropology. Human beings are neither infinitely malleable nor reliably guided by abstract reason alone. They inherit customs, hierarchies, and loyalties that constrain the worst excesses of power and provide the only durable foundations for ordered liberty. Radical attempts to abolish those constraints in the name of perfect equality or perfect community unleash the very passions—envy, resentment, the lust for domination—that the constraints were designed to moderate.

The historical record from 1793 onwards confirms the prediction. Wherever socialist parties have obtained monopoly power, the effect has been the concentration of coercive capacity in the hands of a self-appointed vanguard, the criminalization of ordinary economic activity, and the transformation of political rivals into biological threats. The body count is measured in tens of millions; the cultural damage— the habituation of entire populations to fear, the targeted eradication of spiritual traditions and independent thought, the moral erosion and brutalization of civil society, the corruption of language—is less quantifiable yet equally enduring.

The persistence of socialist temptations on campus and in other anti-Western circles, despite the dystopian record, itself illustrates the sectarian dynamic. Each failure is attributed to incomplete application, external sabotage, or insufficient purity rather than the internal contradictions of Marxist-Leninist doctrine. The next generation of conceited enthusiasts and conspirators therefore begins again, allegedly convinced that this time the science will be correctly applied and the new man successfully forged. The cycle continues because the doctrine supplies both an explanation of all previous disasters and an absolution for the next round of experimentation.

Against the closed system of revolutionary fiction, empirical history and philosophical caution offer the only durable resistance: the recognition that societies are not laboratories, that human nature is not infinitely plastic, and that the price of utopian certainty is ultimately paid in blood.

Trans-Identified Male Convicted of Child Sexual Abuse Returned to Women’s Prison After Release and Re-Offending

A trans-identified male previously convicted of sexually abusing a girl under the age of 13 has landed back in a Minnesota women’s prison after being convicted on new felony charges. Daniel Patrick Benz, 39, had recently been released from the state’s only facility for female inmates, where he had been allegedly exposing himself to women, when he was arrested again on June 1 after being in found in possession of firearms he had been forbidden from owning due to multiple prior convictions.

Benz has a lengthy criminal history spanning two decades. Yet despite his many convictions for robbery, assault, and the sexual abuse of a 6-year-old girl, Benz was released last year from women’s prison MCF Shakopee. He had been transferred into the facility in 2023 while serving a sentence in a men’s prison for the theft of a motor vehicle in 2018, a charge which carries a maximum ten-year sentence.

On February 27, 2023, Benz filed a civil rights complaint which ultimately resulted in his transfer into Minnesota’s only women’s prison. The complaint was lodged ahead of his legal name change to Danielle Marie Whitebird in June of that year, after his petition was approved by the state of Minnesota. In addition to the name change, Benz also was supplied with a “replacement birth record” which declared his sex as female, despite not having undergone any surgeries, according to his own legal complaints.

After his most release from Shakopee in September 2024, Benz was again arrested in June this year for threatening law enforcement upon their discovery that he was in possession of illegal firearms. As reported by Alpha News, an officer noticed his pickup truck exit from an area of storage units after midnight. The truck was missing its front license plate, causing the officer to become suspicious.

Law enforcement confronted Benz and discovered a power tool in his pocket, as well as bolt cutters and a pry bar inside the truck. Officers soon observed that three storage units had been broken into, and a search of the pickup truck uncovered a loaded handgun, a modified 12-gauge shotgun, and 20 rounds of ammunition. Officers ran a background check, noted Benz’s extensive criminal history, and saw that he had been prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition due to four prior violent felony convictions, including burglary with a dangerous weapon and criminal sexual predation.

Upon his arrest, Benz managed to slip out of his handcuffs and unbuckled his seatbelt. He then began threatening to kill the officers, shouting, “One of us is not coming out of this alive.” He lashed out violently, banging his head on the divider and kicking, and continued to scream and threatened to kill the officers’ families when he got out of jail. He was eventually subdued and charged with three counts of illegally possessing firearms or ammunition, threats of violence, possession of a short-barreled shotgun, possession of burglary tools, obstructing the legal process, and a gross misdemeanor count of carrying weapons without a permit.

The incident was reported in local media as having been committed by a woman.

In 2007, Benz was convicted of criminal sexual misconduct with a victim under the age of 13. According to court records obtained by Reduxx, St. Louis county police officers responded to a tip from the Eveleth Police Department in July regarding the sexual abuse of a minor.

Eveleth police had received a text message informing law enforcement that Benz had “played a game of touch the peanuts” with a 6 year-old girl. The informant, whose name has been redacted, said the girl had been acting oddly for two weeks. The child divulged to the individual that “Dan” had sexually molested her on multiple occasions.

Benz had been staying in the same residence as the victim after having been evicted from his apartment. During an interview with a social worker, the girl stated that Benz had been touching her genitals.

“One night when her mommies went to pick up her daddy, she was with Dan at her house,” reads the 2007 complaint. “They were sitting together watching a movie… [The girl] stated that Dan reached with his hand and went inside of the left leg of her pajama pants. He then put his hand inside her panties and touched her on top of her vagina.” The victim also described other similar instances of abuse.

Benz was handed the maximum 25-year sentence. However, his long history of criminal behavior indicates that he was released after serving just five years, in approximately 2012, when he was convicted of a misdemeanor for giving a police officer a false name – a charge that appears multiple times throughout his criminal record.

Benz was convicted of the theft of a motor vehicle in 2018, a charge which carries a maximum ten-year sentence. Police records filed after his arrest in 2017 state that Benz had “active warrants” out of Crow Wing County for “failure to register as a predatory offender” as well as a domestic assault report.

While incarcerated in a men’s facility, Benz began claiming to experience “gender dysphoria”. When filing a request for a change of name and legal sex in February 2023, Benz claimed to be a “transgender woman [whose] legal documents do not match my gender and gender identity.”

“It is painful, difficult, and uncomfortable for the party addressing me, when they inquire about the ‘male’ legal name, and my ‘male’ sex identifier are on my legal documents,” Benz wrote.

He continued: “I humbly request this court changes my ‘current legal name’ Daniel Patrick Benz to Danielle Marie Whitebird, and my current sex identification from ‘male’ to ‘female’, in order to match my gender and gender identity. This will alleviate my unnecessary suffering.”

Concurrently, Benz had also filed a human rights complaint requesting a transfer to the women’s prison MCF Shakopee on the basis of the Eighth Amendment’s clause against “cruel and unusual punishment.”

“Ms. Benz-Whitebird’s case satisfies both elements of the deliberate indifference test,” Benz wrote in his complaint, referring to himself in the third person. “She has presented extensive evidence that, despite hormone therapy, she continues to experience gender dysphoria so significant that she continues to have thoughts of self-castration and is at serious risk of acting on that impulse again.”

The Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) violated Benz’s human rights, he claimed, by failing to transfer him to MCF Shakopee in a “timely manner,” and “failing to house Plaintiff in a female facility according to her gender identity which would ensure safety and reduce the risk of sexual victimization.”

During his brief period at Shakopee, Benz was said to have been exposing his penis to female inmates.

Benz’s placement in the women’s prison was confirmed both through court records and by an inmate who spoke to Reduxx via women’s prison advocate Rebeca Warmbo – herself once an inmate at the facility.

Warmbo provided documented exchanges from a woman who was a former victim of sex trafficking. In order to protect her identity, Reduxx used a pseudonym when reporting on the incident in 2024.

“[There was a] man who introduced me to drugs and then prostitution, which eventually led to the charges I am here for now,” said Cate, adding that while he was in MCF-Shakopee, Benz “showed me his penis… I was terrified.”

Cate went on to explain that though she had reported the incident to prison officials, “nothing was done” and “everyone turned their cheek.”

Cate stated that she believed action was not immediately taken on the basis that her report was seen as “homophobic” or bigoted.

“We just want to be protected here and not abused or taken advantage of. Most of us come from a background of abuse and we shouldn’t allow it here. We should be safe and protected, but they are allowing abusers in,” she added at the time.

Conviction records state that Benz was sentenced to spend a period of approximately 93 months in the women’s prison, though his anticipated release date is set for 2029, or less than half of that time.

Denial is Europe’s real emergency

GROK

There still seems to be a profound reluctance across Europe to accept and face the stern fact that Europe is in danger of what the official United States National Security Strategy, published in December 2025, describes as “civilisational erasure”, a word and concept that is chilling in its severity. The two policy areas that are generally highlighted when there are any serious attempts to get to grips with this subject are immigration and the consequences of the continent’s preoccupation with climate change.

It has proved very difficult to persuade European political leaders to understand that the large numbers of destitute fugitives from the Middle East and Africa which have surged into Europe cannot be considered immigrants. Even apart from their illegal presence, they are more like swarms of desperate people with no sense of nationality, no ambition to assimilate to the places where they fetch up, and are only focused on achieving a more prosperous life and conserving their own cultures and inflicting them on their new hosts. They are more like the masses advancing westwards in the fifth and sixth centuries AD into western Europe, fleeing ahead of the more savage barbarians, and with no thought of joining the Roman empire.

The numbers of illegal immigrants penetrating the European Union are now finally being brought under control, but the task of cultivating among them any serious sense of attachment to their new nationalities has proved extraordinarily difficult. Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, recorded almost 178,000 irregular crossings of the EU’s external borders in 2025, a fall of 26 per cent on the previous year and the lowest annual total since 2021. At least the barbarians brought with them such primitive religions that they quickly adopted Christianity, which greatly assisted their close association with the inhabitants, gradually evolving into the great nations of Europe. The present waves of migrants are largely Muslim, fiercely sectarian, and show a much greater propensity to fester and multiply in a segregated and often antagonistic state than to assimilate to their host societies.

The consequences of Europe’s pitiful capitulation to the extreme arguments of global warming alarmists have been crippling to economic growth and have made the continent doubly vulnerable to unexpected migration and demoralised the whole continent with the heavy yoke of economic stagnation.

For over 50 years, Europe has steadily lagged the United States economically. In 1980, the nine countries of the European Economic Community had 27 per cent of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP) to 25 per cent for the United States. Today, the same nine countries plus East Germany have 15.5 per cent while the United States is at 26 per cent. The principal new element is of course China, but it too has now ceased to gain ground on the United States, which continues to surge ahead and remains 70 per cent larger economically than the expanded European Union of 27 countries and the People’s Republic of China, even after China’s 40 years of the greatest surge of economic growth of any under-developed economy in history. All the fine optimism, tainted though it was by the somewhat decadent arrogance of Europe contemplating the rest of the world, with which the great European project was launched, has given way to self-conscious introspection.

It was primarily in Europe that the defeated international Left at the end of the Cold War, in an unforeseeable act of improvisation, clambered aboard the conservation bandwagon, seized control of it, and turned it from a benign but eccentric coalition against spoliation of the environment into a battering ram against capitalism in the name of saving the planet. As a result of this madness of Quixotry, industry was stifled, gas and electricity production restricted, and the madness of renewable energy was coercively embraced. The result is that natural gas in Europe is three to five times more expensive than in the United States and electricity is two to three times higher than in the US, according to the competitiveness report drawn up in 2024 by former European Central Bank president Mario Draghi. International investment in Europe has declined and nine of the world’s top 10 high-tech companies are American and the other is Taiwanese. Government tax revenue in the EU is about 40 per cent of total GDP, compared to 25 per cent in the United States.

Although heat waves killed more than 70,000 people in Europe in 2003, air conditioning was still discouraged as too consumptive of energy; and similarly heavy heat waves this summer killed more than 30,000 Europeans, according to provisional national tallies collated by AFP. Birth rates have collapsed, the Muslims are proliferating, and at this time of the greatest challenge to European civilisation since the Second World War, those political parties and movements that defend that civilisation are despised by the elites, half asphyxiated by the lethal intoxicant of confected white guilt.

Central and western Europe are in no danger of being overrun, and it is ultimately inconceivable that they can collapse entirely from within. Miracles of renaissance have occurred from time to time throughout European history. Another one is necessary and very possible. It is an act of faith to believe in it, and only decisive leadership of the kind Europe has not seen since the time of Thatcher and Kohl will produce it. But those countries, led by Poland and Hungary where communist rule is unpleasantly retained in living memory, are comparatively purposeful. Italy seems to lead the way in elevating a former distaste for political parties originating on the Right to effective government. In Germany and France, formerly unhouse-trained parties of the right are now leading the polls and the outcasts of yesteryear may be soon called upon to save the old continent’s most influential nationalities.

Political Revenge? Hungary’s New Asset Recovery Office Puts Conservatives on Alert

Medforth AI

Hungary’s parliament has voted to appoint Anna Unger as head of the newly established National Asset Recovery and Protection Office (NVVH), an institution that could become a tool for political retaliation against the country’s conservative opposition parties.

Unger, a political scientist without any legal expertise, was appointed by Parliament on Friday, August 28th, and is expected to serve a six-year term.

The NVVH was established by legislation passed in July by the governing centrist-liberal Tisza Party, which won April’s election with a two-thirds parliamentary majority, ending conservative Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule.

Prime Minister Péter Magyar has presented the office as a central element of his so-called anti-corruption campaign, dubbed ‘Operation Purgatory.’

The office’s powers include investigating public assets, accessing documents and electronic records, inspecting premises and financial accounts, and seeking the recovery of assets allegedly removed unlawfully from public ownership under the previous Fidesz-KDNP government.

The authority’s agents can enter private properties and seize documents without prior notice.

The opposition has argued that the legislation grants the NVVH unusually extensive powers with insufficient judicial safeguards. They have compared it to the ÁVH, the political police of Hungary’s communist era, warning that its powers could affect a large number of citizens and businesses that have received state or EU funding.

Fidesz MP Gábor Szűcs has warned that the office would wield extraordinarily broad investigative powers that could ultimately target hundreds of thousands of ordinary Hungarian families.

Opposition politicians have also attacked Anna Unger personally, calling her politically biased. KDNP parliamentary group leader Bence Rétvári questioned whether someone who had described millions of conservative voters as “brainwashed” could credibly head such an institution.

László Torockai, leader of the right-wing Mi Hazánk Mozgalom, accused Tisza of choosing a figure who would refrain from looking into possible corruption cases involving the new government.

The conservative daily Magyar Nemzet argues that the NVVH must be viewed in the context of the new government’s first months in office, accusing Tisza of focusing on political retaliation rather than governing.

Since taking office in May, Magyar’s government has already controversially removed President Tamás Sulyok through a constitutional amendment and introduced retroactive constitutional changes limiting the time an individual can serve as prime minister or MP—measures clearly aimed at weakening Viktor Orbán and Fidesz.

Meanwhile, the EU institutions remain silent—a sign that rule-of-law violations remain undetected when forces aligned with the Brussels establishment win power in any given EU member state.

Climate Propaganda Tanks: Two-thirds Are Disbelievers

The climate change narrative is losing its grip in Germany, once home of the most ardent believers.
Medforth AI

The summer of 2026 was undoubtedly a record-breaking summer in Europe – apocalyptic reports about heat waves, forest fires, and rising temperatures dominated the headlines in the mainstream media. But in Germany, the home of climate fear-mongering, more and more citizens are apparently immune to this scare propaganda. Skepticism towards climate protection and the energy transition is growing. This is the conclusion of a study by the European University of Flensburg, which analyzed public attitudes between 2014 and 2023.

The researchers used 14 questions and statements on environmental destruction, the energy transition, climate policy, and the willingness to accept personal restrictions for environmental protection. The result is a rebuke for mainstream moral guardians: in 2023, almost two-thirds of respondents expressed doubts about climate change, climate protection measures, or their practical implementation. This figure was higher than in 2022. Data for recent years was apparently not included in the study – it would likely show a further increase in climate skepticism.

More than 90 percent of respondents answered at least one question more critically about climate protection than in the previous year. The remaining third presented a mixed picture: some respondents were more in favor of the “energy transition,” but at the same time less willing to reduce their own standard of living for the sake of climate protection.

Similar findings come from the Hamburg-based research project “Down2Earth,” which has been running since 2015. Anne Reif, a research associate on the project, explains: “We, too, observed a significant increase in climate protection skepticism.” According to her, agreement with statements about climate change, climate protection, and climate policy has decreased by a total of ten percent since the first survey in 2015.

The Flensburg study revealed that the most significant changes in attitudes were not among those who were already highly skeptical. Rather, the distance to climate change ideology increased precisely among respondents who had responded relatively favorably in 2022. The researchers write: “Our results show that climate change skepticism in Germany is no longer limited to a small but vocal minority.”

The researchers cite several possible causes, including the consequences of the war in Ukraine and the energy crisis since 2022. They also point to general weariness resulting from the ongoing crisis, the increasingly unpopular policies of the federal government, and the growing support for the AfD (Alternative for Germany). The strongest correlation, however, was found with political attitudes, particularly among respondents from the right-wing spectrum, who already have less trust in state institutions. Co-author Emanuel Deutschmann called for such attitudes to be given greater consideration in the future development of climate policy. But it is probably too late for that. After well over a decade of climate panic and the energy transition, Germans have simply had enough.

UK: Deported illegal migrant issued first-class ticket back to Bangladesh at taxpayers’ expense

Delta Air Lines domestic first class aboard an Airbus A220. Wikimedia Commons, Delta News Hub, CC-BY-2.0

An illegal migrant being deported back to Bangladesh was given a first-class ticket for his flight, GB News understands.

The People’s Channel uncovered last autumn the astonishing story of Mr A, a homeless illegal migrant and convicted criminal who had been asking the Home Office to send him home since March.

Following the involvement of GB News, he was finally returned to his family.

However, it has emerged that he was issued with a first-class ticket from London to Doha, the first leg of his journey.

Mr A had come to the United Kingdom legally in 2013 on a student visa.

He failed to finish his university course and then stayed for years, working illegally.

He had later become homeless in Southend and turned to shoplifting.

By this point, he was keen to return home to his family in Bangladesh, where his father is ill.

However, despite help from former Tory MP Anna Firth, the current Southend Labour MP David Burton-Sampson and various local organisations, he was still stuck here when GB News interviewed him last autumn.

Sitting down with the People’s Channel, he said: “Who would love to stay in the streets when they can live in their house in Bangladesh?

“If you tell me, my flight is ready? I can go now. I want to go now. I’m ready to go.

“I have nothing, no one to worry here. I got everything back home.”

Asked why his family in Bangladesh cannot pay for a plane ticket home, the migrant said they could not afford it.

He added: “My dad is a heart patient. He had a stroke because of me.

“Being in this kind of situation.”

Though he was finally returned home, GB News understands it was with a first-class ticket.

The Home Office initially insisted this was incorrect.

However, the department later admitted “The ticket said first – which was an administrative error in the printing of the ticket.”

GB News has been attempting to get data on the costs of flights for illegal migrants and how many may have been sent first class since the start of the year.

Multiple Freedom of Information requests have been rejected on the grounds of cost.

The Home Office insists that despite a First Class ticket being issued, “Mr A***** departed in economy.”

GB News will continue to fight to learn whether other illegal migrants are being deported on first or business-class tickets.

The People’s Channel will continue to investigate the matter due to the importance of taxpayers’ money being spent wisely.

Police Bow to Islamists + Labour’s Migrant Crime COVER UP + Restrict Social Housing to BRITISH BORN?

{YouTube CC-BY 4.0}

On today’s show, NCF Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo, Dr. Tim Aker (Academic Director of the Margaret Thatcher Centre), David Oldroyd-Bolt (Fellow at the International Reagan Thatcher Centre) and Connie Shaw (External Affairs Director at the Free Speech Union) discuss:

  • Victims of migrant crime appeal to government to release the true migrant crime statistics. The Government is refusing.
  • Should social housing be restricted to people who were born in Britain?
  • Police arrest two protestors who held up signs saying “F*** Islam”. Do we now have a defacto blasphemy state in Britain due to fear of antagonising extremists?

Woody Harrelson Formally Asks UK’s New Prime Minister to Probe COVID ‘Vaccine Injury’

Woody Harrelson, Wikimedia Commons, InternugglerCC-BY-SA-3.0-migrated

Actor Woody Harrelson is among the signatories of an open letter asking Britain’s new prime minister to examine claims of COVID vaccine harm.

The letter is addressed to Prime Minister Andy Burnham and dated Aug. 28, according to the Health Advisory and Recovery Team, which published it as a second appeal to a new British head of government.

HART said the note is backed by more than 160 doctors, scientists, and other health professionals, plus a smaller group of public figures.

British cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra organized the letter, GB News reported.

Harrelson, 65, has previously criticized COVID restrictions and vaccine mandates. The letter lists him as an actor supporting a pause in mRNA boosters while safety questions are reviewed.

Other non-medical names on the document include actor Rob Schneider, film director Gurinder Chadha, former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash, and former England cricketer Dimitri Mascarenhas.

The signatories asked Burnham to back a full look at evidence on vaccine safety and effectiveness.

They also wanted a working system for people who believe they were seriously injured or bereaved after vaccination.

Until that review happens, they said the booster program should be suspended under the precautionary principle.

The authors argued that questions remain about heart problems, cancer trends, excess deaths, and long-term sickness since 2021.

They said vaccination should be studied alongside other possible factors, including delayed NHS care and lockdowns.

HART contended the official UK COVID-19 Inquiry did not fully take evidence on vaccine safety.

Burnham’s office had not issued a public reply in the first reports of the letter.

Malhotra has a prior public connection to Burnham, who once endorsed his diet book and has heard his vaccine concerns before, GB News reported.

The letter told the new prime minister he does not have to accept the authors’ conclusions to agree that the evidence should be examined.

The document is a political ask to a government that has just changed hands.

Whether Burnham orders a new inquiry, leaves the existing one in place, or ignores the letter is now a Downing Street decision.

Young Swiss activists’ ‘No Pride Month’ cross could land them in jail

A group of young Swiss conservative activists will go on trial next week and could face prison time for carrying a massive white cross that said “No Pride Month” into a Catholic church during an ecumenical pro-LGBT “pride” service in 2022 and later holding a sign protesting a “drag queen story hour.”

In a video posted August 27 on social media, three members of “Junge Tat,” a group of young Swiss conservative activists, spoke out about the decision by the Zurich Public Prosecutor’s office to charge and put them on trial September 4 for carrying a massive 2.4-meter white cross with the words “No Pride Month” into Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church during an ecumenical service celebrating LGBT “pride” in June 2022.

The Junge Tat members are also being charged for another incident that year when they held up a sign saying “family not gender ideology” during a “drag queen story hour” event, among other activities.

Some of the charges against the young activists include “racial discrimination,” “interfering with freedom of religion and worship,” and “violations of the Explosives Act.” The leaders of Junge Tat are facing up to 15 months in prison, with six months to be served, as well as nearly 50,000 Swiss Francs in fines.

“Is freedom of speech still upheld in democratic Switzerland? Certainly, for leftists, liberals, or the state broadcaster SRF. And for right-wing and dissident opinions?” Manuel Corchia, one of the group’s leaders, pondered in the video.

Tobias Lingg, another Junge Tat leader, continued, “For example, is it still allowed to say ‘family instead of gender ideology’ or ‘No Pride Month?’ Can you wear a cross with this inscription to a church service? According to the Zurich Sihl public prosecutor’s office, ‘No.’”

After declaring that they, as right-wing activists, are now being punished for “opinion offenses,” they delved into the absurdity of these charges.

“We are accused of, at a ‘Pride service,’ having attacked religious beliefs thematically and mocked the cross. We, who on that day placed a white cross with the inscription ‘No Pride Month’ in that service, are said to have mocked Christianity and the cross,” Lingg said.

Indeed, despite the “pride service” occurring in a Catholic Church, the Church has consistently taught that homosexual activity is mortally sinful and that homosexual inclinations are “objectively disordered.” According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’”

“The church, which holds an LGBTQ service, should really ask itself again, who here is actually making fun of what?” Corchia added. “We stand by our words. We’re said to have disparaged the religion, in other words, Christianity, by placing a cross in a church.”

Langg then discussed their protest of the “drag queen story hour” featuring “gay men in women’s costumes” intended for toddlers.

“We wanted to show a small banner for the deluded parents with the words ‘There are only two genders,’” he said. “But since the organizer jumped in violently while we were unpacking the banner, and as always we wanted to avoid violence, especially in front of the children, we broke off this part of the action.”

“(Instead), we held up a banner … that read ‘Family not gender ideology,’” he added.

Corchia chimed in, “That’s why the prosecutor is accusing us of discrimination.”

“So, if, in the future, you want to voice your opinion about a ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ and prefer family values instead of gender ideology, be careful that you don’t get charged,” he added.

Several leftist Swiss news outlets have noted that some of the Junge Tat’s members were previously convicted for logging into Zoom meetings at the Zurich University of the Arts and shouting Nazi slurs. While the group has been labeled as “Neo-Nazis” since this incident, it’s important to note that they have since disavowed these actions and the national socialist ideology.
