Germany: New 128-apartment social housing complex exclusively reserved for asylum seekers in Berlin

A Berlin housing association is scheduled to complete its latest block of social housing apartment buildings in the German capital next spring, but they are currently reserved exclusively for use by asylum seekers, it has emerged.

The 128-apartment complex on Askanierring in the Spandau borough is expected to be opened by the Wohnungsbaugesellschaft Berlin-Mitte (WBM) housing association in May 2024, but will first serve around 570 refugees expected to move in indefinitely before it is available for Berliners currently on the social housing waiting list.

WBM Managing Director Dormeyer recently praised the project as “contributing to the integration of refugees” and saw no issue in the accommodation first being reserved for new foreign nationals arriving in Berlin. He insisted that the complex will eventually become a “long-term attractive living space for all Berliners.”

A spokesperson confirmed, however, that “there is currently no date when the first Berliners can move in.” This appeared to be a line echoed by local politicians, including the spokesperson for Building Senator Christian Gaebler (SPD), who told local press that “it is not possible to give an exact date. That depends on how long the apartments are needed as refugee accommodation.”

Speaking to the B.Z. newspaper, one Christian Democrat (CDU) opposition MP called the move “totally unbelievable” and called on local government to ensure that the apartments are available for Berliners in need “after three years at the latest.”

The move is the latest social housing project planned by WBM that will explicitly, albeit temporarily, exclude ordinary Berliners; another project was announced in June for a 72-apartment complex “in the best inner-city location” that will be reserved for female senior citizens who identify as lesbian or bisexual.

One silver lining is that the accommodation will actually be occupied by someone at least, unlike in other areas of the country where renovation projects have used up hundreds of thousands in taxpayer cash only for apartments to remain empty.

One disused hotel in Sipplingen, near Lake Constance in southern Germany, remains empty, even though the local government signed a nine-year lease back in 2015 with the goal of renovating the accommodation for asylum seekers.

The local administration, overseen by District Administrator Lothar Wölfle (CDU), committed to a rental agreement worth €800,000 for the hotel, but after realizing the property needed renovations to make it habitable, they simply abandoned the project. Meanwhile, they are still paying rent.

“There was no exit clause from the rental agreement,” a spokesman told the Bild newspaper, claiming “the owners had more leverage at the time” in what was a “tight real estate market.”

Taliban burns musical intruments, claims music ’causes moral corruption’

Authorities from the Taliban regime in Afghanistan have burned thousands of dollars worth of musical equipment, which included a guitar, harmonium and tabla, claiming that music “causes moral corruption”, a media report said.

According to the BBC report, the incident took place on July 29 in Herat province.

Images on social media showed that amplifiers and speakers were also set ablaze in the bonfire.

Many of these had been seized from wedding venues, the report added.

Responding to the incident, an official at the Taliban’s Vice and Virtue Ministry said playing music would “cause the youth to go astray”.

Ahmad Sarmast, Afghanistan National Institute of Music founder, likened the regime;s actions to “cultural genocide and musical vandalism”.

“The people of Afghanistan have been denied artistic freedom… The burning of musical instruments in Herat is just a small example of the cultural genocide that is taking place in Afghanistan under the leadership of the Taliban,” Sarmast, who is now based in Portugal, told the BBC.

Since the fall of Kabul in August 2021, the Taliban have imposed numerous restrictions, including playing music in public.

A similar bonfire of instruments was organised by the Taliban on July 19.

The regime had government posted photos of the blaze on X (formerly known as Twitter) at the time but did not say which part of the country it had taken place in.

All forms of music were banned from social gatherings, TV, and radio while the Taliban were in power in Afghanistan from the mid-90s until 2001.

Debank the Right: Biased Bank Staff Branded Conservatives as ‘Evil’ and ‘Ugly’

Monzo Bank Limited (Hugo Cornejo), Wikipedia

Banker staff at Monzo, which previously refused to open an account for Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, branded Conservatives in Britain as “evil” and “ugly” in the latest example of political bias in the industry.

Internal messages uncovered by The Telegraph revealed a deep seeded antipathy towards Conservatives among some staff members at Monzo Bank, which boasts some seven million customers in the UK. The bank has come under criticism amid the Nigel Farage debanking scandal after it was revealed that Conservative MP Jeremy Hunt was turned down for an account before he became the top economic official in the country as Chancellor of the Exchequer.

According to the paper, staff at Monzo had described Conservatives in a Slack forum as “evil” and “ugly”. One member went on to say in January: “I hope I’m wrong though and we manage to topple the Tories for good. I’m not sure anyone can survive under the Tories for much longer”.

Following the election losses for the Conservatives in the local elections in May, one employee wrote: “Tory losses in the local elections – we love to see ittttt”.

Employees at Monzo also said that former Cabinet Minsiter Sir Jacob Rees Mogg “could do the human race a favour” by leaving politics forever and that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling was “vile”.

In April of last year, a senior manager at the bank criticised the Tories for “evidently swaying towards arguments put forward by Terfs”. The acronym Terf, which stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist, is a derogatory term used by leftists to describe people — such as Rowling — who are critical of the impact transgender ideology has had on children and on taking away women’s rights.

The latest demonstration of bias within the banking sector comes after Brexit leader Nigel Farage has launched a campaign to take on the big banks and to champion the cause of those unjustly debanked, as he was earlier this year by Coutts. Mr Farage had his accounts at the bank shut down for thought crimes that didn’t “align with our values” according to a dossier produced by Coutts owner NatWest.

Responding to the latest revelations, Mr Farage said that he was not surprised by members of the industry being against Conservatives.

“I think the general public would be astonished but I’m afraid I’m not in the least bit surprised,” he told The Telegraph. “Corporate Britain has suffered a complete takeover.”

“It’s all one way, this is a culture, to reverse this it’s going to be a big battle”.

A spokeswoman for Monzo said: “Our ambition is to make money work for everyone, which means that we’re politically neutral and personal views play no part in our policies or decision making, including eligibility for a Monzo account. Any suggestion otherwise is categorically untrue.

“These cherry-picked comments are personal views of a handful of employees in informal conversations and it is wrong to portray them as the views of Monzo or our thousands of other employees.”

The government is expected to introduce legislation to prevent politically-motivated debanking and to increase transparency and warning periods for account closures, which have skyrocketed to over a thousand per working day. The idea has also been floated that banks may be required to pledge to ensure free speech protections in exchange for their licence to operate in the UK.

Islam’s Sexual Fantasies of European Women Come True?

screen grab

By Raymond Ibrahim

It seems that the sexually lurid fantasies of Tarek bin Zayid, a renowned jihadist who spearheaded the conquest of Spain in the eighth century, have finally been fulfilled.

When Tarek and thousands of other North African Muslim marauders first landed on the southernmost tip of Spain in A.D. 711, Tarek sought to further entice the men, who were already lusting after booty and plunder, by citing the women of Spain, who were supposedly waiting to welcome the Muslims with open arms.  They “are awaiting your arrival,” Tarek insisted, “reclining on soft couches in the sumptuous palaces of crowned lords and princes.” 

These European women were, moreover, “as beautiful as houris,” said the jihadist leader.  (In Islam, houris are supernatural sex slaves — “big-bosomed” and “wide-eyed,” says the Koran [56:22, 78:33]) — created for the express purpose of pleasuring Allah’s favorites in perpetuity.)

Of course, the only things to greet the Muslim invaders were Christian swords.  Eventually, however, the Muslims conquered Spain, and women “as beautiful as houris” they got — but only by force, enslavement, and rape.

After subjugating and utterly plundering Spain of its wealth, in 715, Tarek and his overlord, Musa, traveled to Damascus and offered vast treasures in tribute — including 30,000 Spanish slaves — to Umayyad caliph Al-Walid.  He, according to al-Maqqari the historian, was utterly delighted by “the resources of all the people of Spain … its riches and the beauty of its young girls.”

Thereafter, and because the “Umayyads particularly valued blond or red-haired Franc or Galician women as sexual slaves,” writes historian Dario Fernandez-Morera, “al-Andalus [Muslim-controlled Spain] became a center for the trade and distribution of slaves [The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise, p. 159].”  Christian subjects were sometimes even required to make an annual tribute “not of money, or horses, or arms, but of a hundred damsels (all to be distinguished for beauty) to ornament the harems [Spain and Portugal, Mercer, p. 132].”

In all cases, however, Spain’s women, far from being found “reclining on soft couches,” as Tarek had said, “awaiting” with open arms the North African invaders, were actually taken by force and enslavement — dragged by their hair screaming.

Today, however, it would seem that Tarek’s prophecy was not false, but rather premature — finding fulfillment only now.

According to a July 11, 2023 Spanish language report,

The almost 500,000 illegal migrants who are waiting in Libya for their onward journey to Europe are already arriving in droves at the holiday beaches of the Mediterranean. Videos from Italy and now Spain show dinghies reaching the beach and migrants running to the mainland, cheering.

A particularly bizarre scene that is probably unique to the western decline took place in the Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park in southern Spain [which is geographically very near where Tarek and the first Muslims landed in 711]. Another boatload of illegal immigrants [sic] of working age (all men) landed on the beach there over the weekend.

But instead of the police or the military greeting the migrants, they are actually received by topless women and thong bikinis. They even help you out of the boat.

In these scenes, Orientals and Africans must actually think they have landed in the promised land, where milk and honey are flowing and the unbelieving women are willingly waiting for them.

Indeed, the brief video shows a bunch of European women — some topless, all scantily clad if not nearly naked — rushing to greet and help this latest crop of Muslim invaders — the long promised houris!

Not only do such “scenes” confirm to Muslims that they have finally reached the “promised land,” where all manner of goods — including beautiful infidel women — await them, but it confirms another ancient Muslim conviction: that European women are “just there for sex,” as a group of Muslim refugees once told a German woman before reaching into her blouse and groping her. 

Whatever the motivation of those women on the Spanish beach may have been — perhaps just to help — make no mistake: to the male Muslim mentality, naked and near-naked European women rushing to them is understood in only one way.  In the words of a Muslim cabbie: “All Australian women are sluts and deserve to be raped.”  Or, as another Muslim man explained to a British woman as he was raping her, “you white women are good at it.”  (For more on this motif, which has influenced Muslim perceptions of European women, past and present, click here.)

At any rate, such are the signs of the times: for centuries, Europe — often spearheaded by Spain, home of the Reconquista — fought off one Muslim invasion after another.  Today, however, even more Muslims are illegally flooding into Europe — many thousands to Spain alone, where they have engaged in countless criminal acts, including rape (examples herehere, and here) — but the only thing to greet them upon arrival is eager-to-help women in the nude.

Who can honestly blame Muslims for their onetime warped, but increasingly confirmed, views of the West?

Germany: 2nd migrant arrested for gang rape in Berlin’s Görlitzer Park after police hid details of the case for a month

Görlitzer Park, Boris NiehausCC-BY-SA-3.0

second arrest has been made in connection with the now infamous gang rape in Görlitzer Park in Berlin’s multicultural Kreuzberg neighborhood on Sunday evening.

The case has drawn widespread attention due to police keeping the incident out of the news despite the perpetrators being on the loose since June 21. Welt newspaper finally revealed that a woman was raped nearly a month after the incident, with critics saying the police hid the case because the perpetrators were believed to be foreigners, a fact that now can be confirmed; one of the suspects, arrested Thursday, is from Somalia, and now a second arrest has been made of a 22-year-old man from Guinea-Bissau.

Berliner Zeitung has reported on the second arrest, noting that the African suspect was near the scene of the rape and is now in custody.

According to a police source who leaked the details of the case, a 27-year-old woman was gang-raped on June 21 in the early morning. The perpetrators held down the victim’s boyfriend while the men raped her. After the incident, the Berlin police did not release any details or descriptions of the Black male attackers.

A park full of migrant drug dealers

Görlitzer Park has long been the subject of contention in Berlin, as the popular park is filled with African drug dealers who operate from one end of the park to the other. The park has been the scene of violence, needles on playgrounds, and numerous sexual assaults.

Even the petting zoo at the park has not been safe. In 2017, a Syrian migrant raped a pony there in front of children.

“My babysitter was out with our son in Görlitzer Park. They witnessed the man sexually assault the pony,” one woman told Berliner Morgenpost at the time. The babysitter took a photo of the man as he raped the pony and provided it to police. The migrant was banned from the petting zoo in response, but it is unclear if he was ever charged by police.

So far, this year, there have already been eight rapes just in the one park, as well as sexual assaults and sexual harassment. Five of these rapes occurred in June alone. The park has been a hotbed for leftist support, who have defended the drug dealers, called claims to control their operations a form of racism, and pushed to legalize their presence in the park. The drug dealers have been informally tolerated by the police for years, who rarely control their open-air drug dealing.

As Remix News previously reported, nearly 300 gang rapes have been recorded in Berlin since 2020, and more than half were committed by foreigners.

The Berlin authorities are also accused of concealing another series of gang rapes at the popular Schlachtensee location, a lake in southwest Berlin, in which there were three victims, including a 14-year-old girl in early June. The same police task force charged with investigating those crimes is also investigating the gang rape in Görlitzer Park.

According to the public prosecutor, the four suspects are between 14 and 19 and have been identified but remain on the run. So far, the police and the public prosecutor’s office have refused to provide details on the suspects’ nationality and migration background. 

Due to the widespread role of migrants regarding sexual assaults, details of such cases have been hidden in the past, including the infamous New Year’s mass rape of 2016, which saw thousands of German women sexually assaulted across the country, with the majority of cases taking place in Cologne.

Biden Replaces ‘Muslim Travel Ban’ with ‘Hungarian Travel Ban’ – Keeping out all those Hungarian Jihadis who shout “Long Live Goulash” before blowing up

Everyone wants to ban someone from coming to America.

The Trump administration wanted to ban Muslims from terror states from coming here while the Biden administration has thus far warned Israelis that they wouldn’t get visa waivers unless they proved they don’t discriminate against terror tourists with U.S. citizenship, and is doing a Hungarian Travel Ban.

The media’s take on a Muslim Travel Ban was that it was the ultimate in bigotry and racism, while the Hungarian Travel Ban is just a sensible security measure to keep all those Hungarian Jihadis who shout “Long Live Goulash” before detonating out of the country.

The United States on Tuesday sharply limited Hungary’s participation in its visa waiver program over security concerns regarding new passports issued between 2011 and 2020.

Do we have a major Hungarian illegal alien problem? Are Hungarians blowing themselves up in our cities?

After coming to power in 2010, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s government implemented a major policy change that granted citizenship to ethnic Hungarians abroad — including in Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine.

David Pressman, the U.S. ambassador in Budapest, told POLITICO in an interview ahead of the announcement, “There are hundreds of thousands of passports that have been issued by the government of Hungary as part of the simplified naturalization program without stringent identity verification mechanisms in place.”

Dave, Dave. Your boss lets people across the border who claim that the weather is too hot. He flew in tens of thousands of Afghans who were vetted by the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Your administration’s idea of stringent identity verification is a ballot slip pre-filled by a ballot harvester with Biden’s name already on it for 2024.

I’m sure Hungary’s identity verification isn’t up to snuff, but what does Afghanistan’s look like? Your administration is pushing for the Afghan Adjustment Act that would legalize tens of thousands of Afghan migrants before they’ve gone through the legal process.

Many Western countries have spoken out about deteriorating democratic standards in Hungary, as well as policies and rhetoric they say undermine the rights of LGBTQ+ people there.

What’s the national security angle on transgender rights exactly?

I’m not a big fan of Hungary’s self-promotion in conservative circles by paid influencers, but this is obviously political retaliation by an administration that has filled the country with unvetted illegal migrants.

And the media denounced the Muslim Travel Ban, but is fine with the Hungarian Travel Ban.

Black South Africans rediscover the blood lust of an old song

By Andrea Widburg

“Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer” is not a new song. It’s been kicking around South Africa for more than a decade. What is new, though, is the frenzy with which tens of thousands are seen singing it. When you combine this with a rapidly collapsing infrastructure and an uptick in violent attacks on white farmers, it’s not hard to predict that South Africa will soon explode in a genocidal fury before lapsing into complete dysfunction.

When the old apartheid government in South Africa ended in the early 1990s, all decent people saw that as a good thing. Apartheid discriminated against blacks while a much smaller number of whites (descendants of Dutch and English settlers) experienced freedom and prosperity. What was amazing was that, when apartheid ended, the country managed to avoid slipping into a blood bath, something that can be attributed to Nelson Mandela’s leadership. The guy may have been an old communist but, to his credit, he didn’t want a civil war.

Image: Rally in South Africa. Twitter/X screen grab.

Unfortunately, Mandela’s presidency was followed by a series of less civil, more inept presidents who reveled in their communist values. Over the years, their governance damaged South Africa’s prosperity, so these leaders did what demagogues always do: They found a scapegoat. In South Africa’s case, the scapegoat was ready-made: white farmers who continued to do what they’d always done, which was to provide food for the nation (and for export).

By 2010, the racial tensions that Mandela seemed magically to have erased were already coming to the fore in ugly ways. An essay from American Thinker in that year wrote about a song that the communists were using to bring about change:

Julius Malema is the head of the ANC (African National Congress) Youth League, and delights in singing the “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer” song at public gatherings. They failed to rope him in, so a civil case was brought by an N.G.O. to stop him singing the song.  He ignored a court ruling in favour of the plaintiff, and sang it while visiting Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe.

He had gone there to study their “success;” a country all but destroyed by that socialist dictator. A few days later the National Union of Mineworkers sang it at one of their meetings, taking their cue from Malema. We heard this morning that the disciplinary charges against Malema brought internally by the ANC, are to be dropped. They are powerless to stop him. He and his Youth League are the president’s power base. It was they who orchestrated the coup at Polekwane in 2007, putting Jacob Zuma and the radical left in power. If they remove him, they remove themselves. It is out of control.

Change has indeed come to South Africa, but not for the better. South Africa’s infrastructure is collapsing, and the pressure is on to return to apartheid, this time with whites at the bottom of society. Additionally, crime is soaring in what’s long been one of the world’s most violent countries. As Al Jazeera (which is honest about its facts) noted last November, 7,000 South Africans were murdered in just three months. Most of these murders, as in America, are black-on-black killings.

Although whites are only a small percentage of the South African population, many of those murdered have been white farmers, with torture and rape thrown in for good measure. Although outlets such as Wikipedia assure us that there is no such thing as targeted white murders, whites in South Africa have to be getting worried when the same Julius Malema mentioned above gest a stadium full of 90,000 people to sing along enthusiastically to “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer.”

Leftists are quick to assure us that it’s only a song, but one can’t help but notice the Leni Riefenstahl vibe to the old thing. After all, back in the 1930s, Hitler apologists were telling us that the Nazis didn’t mean it when they rallied around a madman preaching genocide. Elon Musk, the world’s best-known South African, sent a direct query to South African president Cyril Ramaphosa, who has yet to respond.

I’m generally a pessimist, and I see a lot of cause for pessimism here. When you have a failing state in which the majority specifically calls out the minority to be murdered…well, things don’t usually end well.

Dutch asylum applications continue to soar ahead of upcoming elections

Migrants forced to sleep outside crowded Dutch camp, screen grab youtube

The Netherlands has continued to experience a rise in asylum applications throughout the second quarter of the year, exacerbating an issue that recently led to the fall of the country’s government and its Prime Minister Mark Rutte stepping back from frontline politics.

From April through June, another 8,000 asylum seekers submitted their first application for asylum in the country, according to Statistics Netherlands (CBS) — a 15 percent increase over the previous quarter and also significantly higher than for the same period last year.

The 2022 figure was already 44 higher than the previous year and a record for the years following the migrant crisis of 2015.

A 53 percent rise in Syrian applications and a 33 percent increase in new arrivals from Eritrea contributed to the rise in claims, Statistics Netherlands stated.

Family reunification also contributed to the increase, with 2,625 family members arriving in the Netherlands in the second quarter of the year, up by 730 versus the previous quarter.

“Especially from Syria, more family members traveled (to the country). Nearly 7 out of 10 family members traveling due to family came from Syria,” said CBS researchers. This is despite the Dutch government attempting last year to temporarily suspend the automatic reunification of asylum seekers’ family members for six months to cope with the asylum crisis enveloping the nation.

The Ministry of Justice and Security in Amsterdam has estimated that approximately 70,000 asylum seekers will arrive in the country this year, with Minister for Migration and Asylum Eric Van der Burg anticipating an even greater spike in new claims over the remaining summer months and into autumn.

Meanwhile, asylum reception centers remain saturated across the country, and the Dutch government has been fighting a losing battle in relocating tens of thousands of asylum seekers currently holed up in makeshift homestays as temporary accommodation contracts with cruise ships and hotels taken out last year begin to expire.

This has led to many temporary contracts either being extended, or the Dutch government paying more than expected yet again for new contracts, including the recent decision to house 1,500 migrants in the port of Rotterdam at considerable expense to Dutch taxpayers.

Mark Rutte’s administration collapsed last month over “unbridgeable” differences between coalition partners regarding the country’s asylum and immigration policy.

The outgoing prime minister’s People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), alongside the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA), had advocated in favor of tightening restrictions on the asylum process, a move that was opposed by the Democrats 66 (D66) and the Christian Union (CU).

One party seeking to benefit from the situation is the right-wing Party for Freedom (PVV) led by conservative Geert Wilders. Commenting on the latest rise in asylum claims, Wilders posted on X: “Billions of euros are not spent on healthcare or cheaper groceries, but on those seeking fortune.”

He called on those who supported the closing of Dutch borders and the promotion of the Dutch people back to “Number 1” to vote for his party in the Dutch elections scheduled for Nov. 22.

UK: Parents’ anger at ‘divisive’ primary school science homework that ‘excludes white men’

Coldfall Primary School in Muswell Hill, London
 Google Maps

A North London primary school that offered non-white students extra lessons urged its pupils to “challenge the myth” that scientists are “old men… with crazy white hair,” GB News can reveal.

Science homework given at Coldfall Primary School in Muswell Hill called on pupils to look for scientists from “outside of Europe and America.”

The homework recommends a list of scientists worth considering, which does not feature any white men. On its list of scientists to “avoid”, it lists Albert Einstein, Louis Pasteur and Stephen Hawking.

A parent with a pupil at the school told GB News: “This science homework has nothing to do with science at all. It was purely a means of pushing their divisive message on race, and insulting and belittling a whole group of people based on their appearance.

“Why are white men pushed off the curriculum?”

Alka Sehgal Cuthbert, director of grassroots campaign group Don’t Divide Us, said: “Coldfall is reducing science to a question of ethnic identity and social and political power. This is a travesty.”

She added: “These pupils aren’t getting science, they’re getting a reductive version of the sociology of science, which removes the wonder and power of science and inculcates kids to accept a racial version of everything.”

Last month it was revealed that the school urged its pupils to take a controversial anti-racism pledge.

The pledge starts with the motto “Intent does not supersede impact.”

Among other commitments, the pledge asks children to be “actively anti-racist.”

The pledge was developed by the school’s Inclusion and Anti-Racism Group (IARG). It is displayed in all classrooms.

On the school’s website, it claims that it is being supported by an external consultant that delivers “inclusion, belonging and anti-racism training within the education sector.”

Mpula Lawton, founder of the ARISE (Anti-Racism in Schools Education) consultancy, reportedly delivered training to staff at the school. Prices for Lawton’s anti-racism training start at £450 for a 60-90-minute session.

The school claims on its website that it has been working with Mpula Lawton from ARISE to ensure that it was an actively anti-racist school.

In communication with parents, Coldfall said that it organised staff training on unconscious bias with Lawton. In its Inclusion and Anti-Racism newsletter, it added that it organised workshops for years 5 and 6 with ARISE.

According to the school’s website, Lawton also led a BAME (Black Asian and Minority Ethnic) parents and carers meeting

Lawton told GB News that she did not deliver unconscious bias training, adding: “I don’t deliver anything that is age inappropriate, from the age of 4 to 18 we talk about being nice to each other. I don’t think that any of my material or training is controversial.”

In correspondence to all parents last February seen by this broadcaster, the head of the school’s IARG said the pledge will be “signed by all classes in the school.”

Last month, Coldfall made headlines after it was revealed that the school was receiving council-funded extra weekend classes for children from black backgrounds.

The Telegraph reported that schools in Haringey and Enfield could enrol pupils at classes at the Nia Academy.

The academy was launched by non-profit organisation the Haringey Education Partnership.

The school called in an independent investigator after parents complained, but they dismissed the complaint.

One parent said that the extra classes were discriminatory because educational attainment for disadvantaged groups is lower for white British pupils than the other main ethnic groups across the country.

Haringey Council defended its “targeted programmes” to support black pupils, adding that white British pupils outperform black African and black Caribbean pupils in the borough.

The school said that it was trying to “accelerate progress in reading and writing while also developing [black] children’s knowledge of black history and culture.”

A parent with a child at Coldfall Primary School told GB News: “The anti-racism pledge was introduced by the school with no consultation with parents. I am annoyed that the headteacher thinks it’s ok to push his personal politics like this without even mentioning it to parents.

“It is simply not the business of the school to push a social justice agenda and to force kids to take a loyalty oath to a set of political beliefs.”

They added: “Too much focus is being put on race. It is only going to make kids hyper aware of differences, which is going to make them nervous about mixing with other children.”

Coldfall Primary School did not respond to our requests for comment.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Pakistani man allegedly sexually assaulted 17-year-old girl

Thessaloniki, User:MWD, PD-author

Police in Thessaloniki arrested a Pakistani man yesterday after a 17-year-old girl reported being sexually assaulted.

Specifically, reported News Bomb, police officers of the Sub-Directorate for the Protection of Minors of the Directorate of Security of Thessaloniki arrested the approximately 30-year-old man based on a warrant.

The 17-year-old said that in June 2023, in an outdoor area in the city centre, the arrested person performed a sexual act against her.

The accused was taken to the judicial authorities.
