Le Pen, Bardella Lay Out Economic Agenda for ‘Rebirth’ of France After Macron ‘Disaster’

France is on the precipice of the “abyss”, National Rally leader Marine Le Pen warned as she and her deputy Jordan Bardella presented their party’s financial plan to avert the looming debt crisis and revive the country’s economy.

Speaking from party headquarters in Paris on Tuesday, presidential candidate Marine Le Pen — the current favourite in the 2027 race — announced that if given power, the National Rally (RN) would look to deliver €140 billion ($158bn) in net savings by 2032, while restoring the budget to a primary balance within eighteen months, reducing the deficit to the EU limit of three per cent by 2030, and slashing the national debt by ten points over five years, Le Monde reported.

“If the French do not choose a political break, France is heading towards default,” she warned, while criticising the “disastrous record” of President Emmanuel Macron, whom she mocked for his supposed expertise in economics that was highly touted ahead of his election due to his history as a former banker for the Rothschilds.

“How many thousands of articles, each more dishonest and biased than the last, to explain that Emmanuel Macron, the Mozart of finance, would save our public accounts?” Le Pen questioned. “The French elites have deliberately failed and worse, have lied to thwart the RN’s victory.”

“Emmanuel Macron’s disastrous record isn’t just pie-in-the-sky figures: it translates every day into the purchasing power of the French people. The burden of spending and taxes, but also the economic gloom it generates, are largely responsible for the purchasing power crisis facing French families,” she added.

Le Pen asserted that taxes in France have risen in real terms by nearly 350 billion euros ($394bn) during Macron’s tenure in the Élysée Palace, and claimed that the current government would raise taxes further by 17 billion ($19bn).

“Emmanuel Macron has been unable to genuinely reduce public spending by implementing true structural reforms. The share of public spending in GDP in 2026 is substantially the same as in 2012,” she added.

At the core of the National Rally economic agenda is a “golden rule” for national budgets requiring them to aim for the gradual reduction of French debt until it reaches 60 per cent of GDP. Under the Macron government, French debt has soared to nearly 120 per cent of GDP and threatens to climb even higher. To counter this, Le Pen said her government would cut spending by €85.5 billion ($96bn), Le Figaro reported.

A large part of the budget-slashing effort will focus on reducing spending on immigration, Le Pen said, such as by slashing taxpayer cash spent on housing, medical care, and other social benefits for foreigners. Meanwhile, the party would look to ramp up efforts to prevent illegals from entering the country in the first place. In total, the RN leader said that some 12 billion euros (13.5bn) in savings could be made by simply refusing to give handouts to foreigners.

Le Pen also said that her government would look to cut back the bloat of the French bureaucracy. However, rather than conducting mass firings, she said that her government would reduce the number of government employees by refusing to hire replacements for those who retire. She also said that the National Rally would conduct a review of the country’s social security and pension systems, through which she expects to accumulate over 45 billion ($51bn) in savings.

Additionally, the populist leader said that her government would look to cut back on money to Brussels, reducing annual net contributions to the EU budget to five billion down from over nine billion at present.

However, the front-running presidential candidate also said that her party would look to cut taxes to spur a “competitiveness shock” to spark the stagnant French economy into a “rebirth”. Although counterintuitive in a push to reduce the debt and deficit, the cuts could increase overall tax revenue to the treasury if they spur economic growth, according to the phenomenon known as the Laffer Curve.

Among the taxes proposed to be slashed are the Value Added Tax (VAT) on energy and other essential products. Le Pen said a National Rally government would end the “punitive and self-serving vision of environmentalism” that has seen the government spend money “at a loss” on subsidising intermittent energy sources like solar and wind.

Meanwhile, she also announced plans to refit buildings with air conditioners and to redirect the existing Green Fund toward disaster relief and fire prevention. Eco taxes on cars will also be reformed, with the system set to provide financial incentives to buy vehicles produced in France.

Many businesses can also expect relief, with the National Rally leader vowing a €20 billion ($22.5bn) cut in production taxes, and a corporate tax reform to favour small businesses.

While many establishment prognosticators have been critical of Le Pen and the party’s often left-leaning economic policies, Tuesday’s announcement appeared to go down well in the bond markets, with Paris’ 10-year bond yield seeing its largest single-day decline since May, Reuters reports.

Commenting on the plan, National Rally president Jordan Bardella — widely tipped to be the next prime minister of France — said: “From now on, one must choose.

“Choose between useful spending and that which is not. Choose between increasing levies or restoring purchasing power to the French. Choose between continuing the headlong flight into debt or restoring order to our public finances.”

“France does not need new promises paid for by new debts,” Bardella added. “It needs a State that fights against waste, that prioritizes its objectives, and that spends taxpayers’ money intelligently.”

The Left Doesn’t Count Votes. It Finds Them

Javier Miley and Flavio Bolsonaro. Argentina.gob.ar, CC-BY-4.0

by Matthew G. Andersson

If you saw a recent NYT report on Brazil’s election between incumbent socialist president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and conservative Flávio Bolsonaro, you may have noticed that the Left’s “paper of record” made an astounding, if unintended, admission in the headline: it reveals its conception of elections. In its words, “Flávio Bolsonaro’s first round lead leaves President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva three weeks to find the votes to stop Brazil’s rightward shift” (italics mine). It doesn’t say “prevail in the election by voter turnout,” but it casts the election as an implied political obligation to manufacture ballots to block voter will and engineer an imposed social order against it. This is clearly the Left’s intention in November.

While this may read as routine journalism, or perhaps just wishful thinking on the writers’ part, it may strike some readers as more of a Freudian slip about how the Left’s mental worldview works: leftist parties operate under a duty to manufacture enough ballots to overcome an election deficit. If your candidate falls behind, you intervene on the sidelines to close the gap. This is now their “normalized” concept of an election.

More than that, progressives have inverted the structure of an election from one that sets two opponents in passive receipt of votes to an actively managed, planned event that aids one side during the election. What was traditionally an arm’s-length contest becomes a pre-existing agreement.

Rather than preserving a quiet period after the close of campaigning to measure the public result of candidate marketing through voluntary voter turnout, the election becomes merely part of their total political campaign operation. It turns votes into indicators, and the indicators into corrective ballot measures.

This obviously goes by other names, such as rigging, stealing, cheating, and fraud, but the extraordinary aspect of this language in the NYT is how it reveals a shift in political psychology and a determination to make that abnormal psychology generally accepted behavior. It resembles the Left’s efforts to make people think that transgender athletes are legitimate contestants among biological females: it asks you to accept a fraud as a right, and, more than that, that you are wrong for questioning it. That is how election fraud works: objections violate a higher moral standing claimed by the victor, even though the victor obtained it through deception.

To use an analogy, it is like two horses in a race where the spectators rush the racetrack on the losing horse, inject him with amphetamines, block the other rider, and the racing judge looks the other way, while the crowd is asked to keep quiet out of fairness to the horse.

To use a good legal analogy, it would be like two legal opponents in a trial, along with their lawyers, actually accompanying the jury into the deliberation room and trying to measure which way they’re leaning and “tip” the scales. Jurors privately deliberate after closing arguments because they weigh what they heard and reach a protected verdict based only on the evidence presented in open court.

Elections are the same: voters effectively go into private deliberation after hearing both sides, cast their ballots in private, and the verdict is then announced in the open “public court.” We have certain appeal processes for election irregularity (e.g., Florida in 2000 and Bush v. Gore), or for an election “mistrial,” as in a deadlock (a runoff or recount), including the discretion to count state electors (e.g., Pence, 2021). In all cases, the counting or verdict is subject to a quiet period, and campaigning of any kind must stand down.

The other key factor in Brazil that is reframing the Left’s vision of elections is based on its paranoia that any conservative candidate is a Trump candidate and ally and part of a larger plan to aid and abet President Trump’s mandates (“Brazil Is a Sign of Things to Come,” NYT, 10.5.26). But South America (and Cuba as well) has been dragging behind the West economically for decades because of its leftist political corruption and because it swings in the extreme between Left populists and Right militarists. Rarely has an actual business conservative, or even a moderate leader, emerged.

Chile is somewhat of an exception, having hosted a path-breaking privatization of its state-owned telecommunications company, CTC, decades ago. Chile’s former president, Patricio Aylwin, whom our company hosted in Chicago on his 1990 state visit, was an enlightened man with a principled sense of nationalism, combined with priorities of trade and investment. He was a centrist Christian conservative who opposed Allende’s socialism. He famously (and wisely) remarked concerning Pinochet that he preferred a military coup to a Marxist takeover.

The US needs more conservative business allies to the South for our own national security—ones who can also keep a lid on orchestrated mass migrations across our border and who work toward a true North-South alliance in economic development, science, and trade. Lula is not likely to prevail against Bolsonaro for these reasons, but a two-way showdown isn’t until October 25th.

In the meantime, the Left is turning domestic election fraud operations into a global ambition. They need to be stopped. That will happen in part when they run out of countries to exploit; when conservative ideology more fully permeates the political realm; and when it delivers a level of public benefit that the Left can never match. That includes enforcing real elections with real voters.

Writer Shlomo Barer wrote a noteworthy book called “The Doctors of Revolution,” which chronicles the violent politics of radicals, including Marx, Bakunin, Lenin, and others. Today’s more urbane radicals might be called the “Doctors of Elections.”

The Brazil election seems to offer another example of how our domestic political Left projects its assumption of a revolutionary duty to find ballots as normal election behavior. And they see “President Trump” everywhere and anywhere they see a conservative candidate.

In both cases, it appears to demonstrate a mass psychology of anxiety, insecurity, and perhaps even paranoid disorder. It helps explain their party’s dysfunction and the basis for its historical turn to political violence. Along with major media, they will be insisting that the public “normalize” it in November.

Welcome to the pro-Pal Inquisition; the cancellation of Jews is allowed and justified without question today

by Giulio Meotti

The “Alhambra Decree,” which ordered the expulsion of all Jews from Spain, was signed by the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella on March 31, 1492, inside the Alhambra palace in Granada.

534 years have passed, and another Jew must leave Granada.

What happened is this: the Jewish writer Ariana Harwicz, shortlisted for the Booker International Prize, has been excluded from the International Festival of Art and Literature at the University of Granada.

Harwicz was due to take part on September 26 in an event devoted to her work. The invitation was withdrawn after protests by activists and university students who discovered something they considered extremely serious: Harwicz is a pro-Israel Jew (yes, it sounds strange, doesn’t it? How dare she.).

“There is great fear, not only on the part of those who are expelled, but also among the others,” Harwicz told El País. “You feel a great loneliness, and you fear they will send your books back and stop inviting you.”

She does not hesitate to accuse them of antisemitism.

“If I belonged to another minority, no one would have done this to me. In the cultural sphere, the cancellation of Jews is justified.”

In Spain, as in the case of the carnival in Andorra, that antisemitism can take the form of an effigy representing the State of Israel, subjected to a public “trial,” shot, and set on fire during festivities in which local officials also took part. The figure is symbolically tried, sentenced to death and hanged.

Or it can take the form of the three elderly Israeli Jewish women wearing the Star of David who were expelled from the famous Reina Sofía National Museum in Madrid. The women, one of them a Holocaust survivor, were attacked by visitors shouting “child killers” and “murderers!” Instead of removing the aggressors, museum staff asked the Jewish women to leave.

They speak of Zionism.

“Zionist is the demonized, instrumentalized form used to discriminate against Jews,” Harwicz says. “And they like the Jews who want to annihilate the State of Israel. They punish me for being the bad Jew. Why should they get to decide who is the good Jew and who is the bad one? I was the only person at the festival whose articles were all checked to see whether I would be allowed through or not.”

Six women writers had also signed a letter demanding her head from the authorities. Five hundred figures from the cultural world responded with a counter-letter of protest denouncing Harwicz’s cancellation, signed. among others. by the celebrated Spanish philosopher Fernando Savater and former French prime minister Manuel Valls.

The prize-winning Irish writer John Banville, a Booker Prize winner and the headliner of the festival, was meant to close it. Instead he left with a single sentence: “My cancellation was my statement.” He did not explain. He did not negotiate. He withdrew his prestige from a stage. A rare gesture, because it costs something. But it is almost all that, in an age of signatures and fear, a writer can still do. The same logic has already consumed other names.

In June, a famous far-left Israeli director, Nadav Lapid, winner of the Berlinale (and of the jury prize at Locarno and Cannes), was excluded from the Marseille Film Festival, which revoked his invitation to sit on the jury because of pressure from pro-Palestinian Arab actors and directors who had threatened to withdraw their films if Lapid took part.

“Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition,” the Monty Python declared in 1970.

The pro-Palestinian Inquisition, however, they should.

Spain: Guardia Civil confirms Socialist network contacted drug clan to ‘eliminate’ judge in Sánchez brother case

A Guardia Civil report filed two days before her appearance sets out testimony on surveillance, threats and contacts with a drug clan in Badajoz.

The judge who convicted the brother of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has been called to give evidence at the National Court in Madrid on October 8 about an alleged campaign of intimidation directed at her.

David Sanchez, brother of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, and Miguel Angel Gallardo, former leader of the Extremadura branch of the ruling party PSOE, attend the start of their trial at the provincial court of Badajoz, Spain, 28 May 2026. Screengrab youtube

Beatriz Biedma appears as an injured party in the case against Leire Díez, a former official of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) known in Spain as the party’s plumber. Investigating judge Santiago Pedraz has limited her standing to a possible offence of slander.

Her appearance has followed a Guardia Civil report delivered to the court on October 6 and added to the case file by Pedraz. The 32-page document gathers testimony on contacts between the Díez network and the Los Rochos drug clan in Badajoz, southwest Spain, along with accounts of the surveillance of the judge.

The clan’s leader, Cintia Rocho, told investigators that former judge Luis Sáenz de Tejada had spoken of the need to get rid of Biedma. She said he had also used a Spanish saying about beating sense into a donkey.

A businessman who dealt with Sáenz de Tejada said he had learned through a third party that the judge had been followed. Those behind the surveillance were people the former magistrate had acted for as a lawyer, he said.

Investigators also set out written notes. One attributed to Díez and dated March 25, 2025 refers to a judge in Badajoz, heroin and a clan name, while another speaks of destroying the proceedings against the Prime Minister’s brother.

The report concludes that the group’s actions amounted to preparatory steps aimed at disrupting that case. Díez denies slandering the judge or manoeuvring against her and has appealed against her admission to the proceedings.

Officers also examined the YouTube channel run by Sáenz de Tejada, who was struck off as a judge in 2022 after convictions for domestic violence. He posted 52 videos on the David Sánchez case between June and September 2026, naming Biedma in 34 of the titles.

Biedma investigated the hiring of David Sánchez at the Badajoz provincial council, which was run by the Socialists at the time. The provincial court sentenced him in July to nine years of disqualification from public office for administrative malfeasance.

Pedraz is examining whether party funds paid for a network set up to obstruct cases affecting the PSOE and the government. Former organisation secretary Santos Cerdán is among those under investigation, and the judge is weighing whether the party itself can be charged as a legal person.

The PSOE has said Díez is not a member and that it is not a party to the case. The Spanish Government has rejected any suggestion that the Prime Minister knew of her activities.

German police advise women to vomit to stop rape attacks

Medforth AI

It has been revealed that police in the northern German city of Bremen have for more than a decade advised participants in workplace safety seminars that deliberately inducing vomiting can be one way to interrupt an attempted sexual assault or rape.

Franka Haedke, a spokeswoman for the Bremen police, said the guidance is part of broader self-defense instruction offered by the department’s Central Police Prevention unit.

“In an emergency, such as attempted rape, defend yourself with all available means,” Haedke told the Kreiszeitung newspaper. “Vomiting can also be an effective way to ward off a sexual offense.”

Seminar instructors tell participants they can trigger a gag reflex by placing a finger down the throat. The resulting disgust, police say, is intended to disrupt an attacker’s actions. Haedke described the suggestion as one option among others rather than a prescribed response.

The sessions, which have run for more than 10 years, are held at companies, government offices and medical facilities. Employees of public transit agencies, the fire department, job centers, and social-service organizations are also eligible to attend. Topics include recognizing and avoiding danger, de-escalation, bystander intervention, and specific conduct during a sexual assault. Participants are invited to describe their own experiences so that advice can be tailored to situations they have encountered.

Haedke said the courses help people “recognize dangers early, manage conflicts, and act thoughtfully.” She added that the seminars “contribute to the prevention of crime and should be actively promoted and conducted on a recurring basis from the police’s point of view.”

Notably, the police appear powerless to address one of the key issues driving the increase in rapes and sexual assaults in Germany, and that is the incredible increase in foreigners. Since 2018, there has been a 72 percent increase in rapes in the country. In Bremen itself, where the police are advising women to vomit to stave off a rape, the city has been labeled the “most dangerous city in Germany.” It also happens to have the highest share of migrants of any German city. It is also a place where 49 percent of all rapes were committed by foreigners, even though the official foreign population is 23 percent.

The Bremen guidance is not the first unconventional self-protection tip from German police to draw public scrutiny. Remix News previously reported that in Berlin, officers previously listed singing as a way to irritate an attacker, advice that remained visible on the police force’s website even after internal materials had been revised. A screenshot of the recommendation went viral on social media in 2024 and was widely mocked.

Berlin police later said the tip had been drawn from professional associations for psychiatry and did not match operational experience.

“A screenshot of our homepage has been circulating for a few days, according to which we recommend that in the event of an attack, you irritate the perpetrator through unexpected behavior, such as singing,” the Berlin police stated. “This is recommended by the professional associations for psychiatry, among others. However, this advice does not correspond to our police experience and has therefore no longer been part of our recommendations since 2023. The flyer was already updated, now our website is too.”

The police stated that the suggestion was not meant for terrorist attacks, rampages or armed assaults, including those involving knives, where protecting life is the priority.

After the mass sexual assaults in Cologne on New Year’s Eve 2015–16, Mayor Henriette Reker — although not a police official — also gave advice that was widely condemned. Reker said women should keep “a certain distance of more than an arm’s length” from unknown men and avoid behavior that could be “misunderstood.” After thousands of German women were sexually assaulted and even some raped by North African migrants, the remarks were widely criticized, including by Germany’s justice minister.

Swedish police have also previously advised women to stop going out alone. Before mass immigration, Sweden was once one of the safest countries in the world for women. However, right around the same time as the mass sexual assaults in Colgone, Swedish police issued similar advice. In Östersund in 2016, after a series of assaults and an attempted rape, police chief Stephen Jerand advised women who wanted to move around at night to arrange a ride or walk in groups. He called the warning factual rather than a ban on going out alone.

German police have given similar pairing advice after attacks on joggers. Leipzig officers in 2017, after a woman was raped in Rosental park, said it would be better to run in pairs or make sure someone else was nearby, and to look back when passing people. The city’s mayor criticized the police for restricting women’s freedom.

After an attack in the English Garden in Munich in 2016, police in the city told runners to choose busy, lit routes after dark, jog at least in pairs at dusk, skip headphones, and carry a whistle or personal alarm. Although it was less controversial advice that what other authorities provided, critics note that women are increasingly unsafe in Europe while out exercising or enjoying public spaces.

Hungary: Péter Magyar Questioned by Police About a Stolen Phone

The prosecution questioned Péter Magyar as a suspect in the phone theft case, the prime minister announced on his social media page. Magyar added that he gave a brief statement and “did not admit to committing the crime he was accused of.” Shortly before the post, he had still written that he would be attending a cabinet meeting lasting until the evening. The Hungarian Parliament suspended Péter Magyar’s immunity on September 28.

The theft case stems from an incident at Ötkert, a downtown Budapest nightclub, just days before Péter Magyar took up his seat in the European Parliament in 2024.

Witnesses reportedly gave accounts of Magyar behaving in an exceptionally disruptive manner for hours after consuming a large amount of alcohol.

The alleged victim, István Szendre, a mechanical engineer said the confrontation began after he started recording Magyar at the nightclub, Magyar Nemzet reports.

He added that Márk Radnai, Magyar’s fellow party member, noticed him first and began gesturing threateningly in his direction. Magyar then approached him and told him to stop recording. Szendre refused, at which point, according to his account, the later prime minister grabbed the phone and ran away. The man said that Magyar then went to the bar and tried to delete the videos, but was unsuccessful. According to István Szendre, when Magyar approached him again, he quickly put the phone in his pocket.

The man claimed that while he was asking for his phone back, Magyar struck him amid a series of political insults, prompting young people present at the scene to step between them. Security personnel then escorted Péter Magyar out, Szendre said. According to the alleged victim, on the street the future prime minister repeatedly denied having the phone, and then, near the Danube embankment, threw it into the river. Divers managed to recover the phone, and the data extracted from it is being used as evidence.

A police investigation into Péter Magyar’s scandal began that same day, following several criminal complaints, on suspicion of disorderly conduct and property damage.

The case was made particularly complicated by Magyar’s constitutional status. Just a few days before the incident at Ötkert, he had been elected a Member of the European Parliament. The results of Hungary’s 2024 European Parliament election were announced on June 14, meaning that, according to the European Parliament’s subsequent position, Magyar was already considered an MEP at the time of the June 21 incident.

For this reason, then-Prosecutor General Péter Polt wrote to the President of the European Parliament on September 26, 2024, requesting that Magyar’s parliamentary immunity be lifted.

The request was based on suspicion of the misdemeanor of theft involving property of relatively low value. The case was subsequently referred to the European Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee. The process lasted nearly a year, and Magyar was heard by the committee on June 24, 2025. On September 23, 2025, the committee adopted, by 20 votes in favor, four against, and no abstentions, a position recommending that his immunity be maintained. On October 7, 2025, the European Parliament’s plenary session ultimately decided not to lift Péter Magyar’s immunity. The prime minister had previously said on several occasions that he would not hide behind his immunity. Nevertheless, he did not call on MEPs to waive his immunity and allow him to face the prosecution.

As Hungary Today reported, on September 28, 2026, the Hungarian Parliament ultimately suspended Magyar’s immunity, clearing the way for the investigation to proceed.

The measure was approved unanimously, with 139 lawmakers voting in favor and no votes against or abstentions.

Zoltán Lomnici Jr. previously told Magyar Nemzet that the legal classification potentially applicable to the case involving Péter Magyar could be theft involving property of relatively low value, which is considered a misdemeanor. The maximum penalty is two years’ imprisonment, although a fine, community service, or a suspended prison sentence may also be imposed. According to the constitutional lawyer, given the nature of the case, a fine or another more lenient sanction is more realistic than an actual prison sentence.

French bishop offering reparation Mass for church desecrated to beat of Muslim rap

A French bishop will offer a Mass of reparation at a church in the Vendée area after it was desecrated by young teens as they blasted rap music celebrating terrorism.

On Sunday, October 4, teens broadcast on Snapchat their invasion of Saint-Hilaire Church in Soullans, in the Vendée department of western France. A video clip shows young girls singing to French rap glorifying terrorists Mohammed Merah and Salah Abdeslam. While the song refers to “Allah” and has been described as Muslim, it is essentially satanic. The rapper, Boro 700, proclaims, “There’s an electric connection between Satan and me.” 

Video footage of the intrusion shows teen boys walking past the altar and tabernacle as the girls sit on the pews of the cathedral. One shot shows that something dark appears to have been spilled on the church floor, but it otherwise leaves unclear what damage was inflicted.

The parish priest and the diocese reported “minor damage,” including “overturned objects” and “burned benches.” Damage notwithstanding, the church is considered to have been desecrated. 

“It is above all the desecration aspect that shocks,”  the diocese’s head of communication told Valeurs actuelles.

Saint-Hilaire is now closed “as a precaution and pending liturgical repair,” with Masses suspended until the reparation Mass to be held on Monday, October 12 at 7 p.m., presided over by Bishop Renauld de Dinechin of Luçon. The altar will be stripped, sprinkled with holy water, and prayed over.

The mayor of the city, Vincent Jolly, told Valeurs that what happened in the church was “intolerable.” He noted that the oldest child involved is 14 years old.

The incident is part of a broader epidemic of attacks on Catholic churches in France. Vandalism is frequently reported in the country, including the theft of consecrated hosts and desecration of tabernacles.

A 2019 report noted that desecrations of churches, chapels and cemeteries in France are often tracked down to “native” French vandals, the majority of whom are adolescents or young adults.

By 2019, anti-Christian attacks in France had quadrupled over the course of a decade. The cause of the increasing number of attacks is often “Satanism,” argued Bernard Antony, founder of the General Alliance against Racism and for the Respect of French and Christian Identity (AGRIF).

France now has the highest number of documented acts of vandalism, theft, desecration and destruction targeting Catholic churches.

The Vendée, where the teens desecrated Saint-Hilaire Church, is the region in western France where an uprising took place during the Reign of Terror in 1793 and 1794. The leaders of the French Revolution conscripted ordinary men to serve in the revolutionary army and required Catholic priests to vow submission to the Civil Constitution of the Clergy and repudiate their commitment to obey the Pope.

The Revolution came to inflict genocide on the deeply Catholic Vendée. The Committee of Public Safety – the revolutionary government in Paris led by Robespierre – expressly ordered every man, woman and child from the province to be killed, their houses and villages to be destroyed, and the very earth of the province to be burned.

UK: Small boat migrant committed sex crime on girls just days after he was given keys to taxpayer-funded house

Illustration. Screengrab youtube

A small boat migrant committed a sex crime against two girls just days after he was given the keys to a taxpayer-funded house.

Mohammed Abbas, 29, who claims to be Palestinian, entered the country on a dinghy from France in March.

In June, he was put behind bars for a number of charges, including sexual assault on a female, common assault, assaulting a constable on duty and assault by beating.

Then, at a sentencing hearing in July at Coventry Magistrate’s Court, he was sentenced for 300 hours of community service and fined £100, as the sexual assault and common assault charges were dismissed.

After his release, he was placed into a taxpayer-funded two-bedroom house in Cardiff, worth a quarter of a million pounds. At the time, he was the sole occupant.

But just two days after he settled in, he trespassed into a separate property. A pair of sisters, one under the age of 16, and the other under 13, woke up to Abbas exposing himself in their bedroom doorway.

At Cardiff Crown Court last month, he admitted two charges of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, and pleaded guilty to trespass with the intent of committing a sexual offence and burglary after stealing a phone and AirPods from the family’s house.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp told The Sun: “Andy Burnham is not taking the migrant rape and sexual assault crisis seriously.

“Every week a new story emerges of an illegal channel migrant or asylum seeker attacking women or girls. These sickening attacks are a danger to every woman and girl where illegal immigrants are accommodated.”

He added: “The list goes on and on, yet Burnham tells us there’s no problem.”

Mr Philp said the Conservatives would leave the European Convention on Human Right (ECHR) and deport all small boat migrants immediately.

The family of the two girls remain unsure how he entered their home.

“We didn’t know him and don’t know why he picked our house,” their mother said. “It was just random.”

Neighbours also told the newspaper they were scared of Abbas when he was first handed the keys to his taxpayer-funded home, claiming that all the residents in a four-property estate are asylum seekers.

Fahmida Abro, 40, who lives opposite, said she was afraid of him because he would drink outside in the street

She said: “My three daughters play in the street, but I brought them in if he was there.

“I’m even more worried now I know he’s a sex offender. Why was he put here?”

The Home Office said it would seek to deport Abbas at the earliest possible opportunity, with a spokesman adding: “Our thoughts are with the victims of Abbas’ vile crimes.

“We are boosting the number of officers on the ground in France and removing the pull factors drawing people here through illegal and dangerous routes.

“Removals of foreign national offenders are up 41 per cent, with nearly 12,000 returned or deported since the Government came to power to the end of this March.”

UK Muslim Minister Admits Most Muslim Migrants are Rapists

“Every woman that’s in the north of France has been raped along the journey. Some of the men too.”
Medforth AI

“You can almost guarantee that every woman that’s in the north of France has probably been raped along the journey. Some of the men too,” UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood admitted on a podcast. “They’ve certainly been abused and threatened.”

If a fellow Muslim woman or girl isn’t safe on a boat full of her own people, what happens to a British woman or girl alone at night in a park or a train station with one of these ‘migrants’?

What the Pakistani Muslim Labour politician put in charge of Britain’s immigration and national security policies didn’t admit was that the majority of those migrants illegally crossing on ‘small boats’ from France to England are from Muslim countries.

In 2025, 77% of ‘small boat’ migrants came from majority Muslim countries. Apart from Ethiopia (which has a 30%+ Muslim colonist population) and Vietnam, the top 10 small migrant invading countries were majority Muslim. And it’s not the Vietnamese in the news over terror and rape.

6 of the top 10 ‘small boat’ invader countries have some level of legal rape, rape is used by the Islamic authorities to punish dissent or used by prominent factions as a weapon of war such as sex slavery. That includes Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Yemen. This cultural background undoubtedly plays a role in the crimes committed by migrants on their route.

And the crimes committed by migrants once they enter the UK.

Over the summer, the British government put out flyers and posters aimed at migrants explaining that, “if you have sex with someone without their consent, this is called rape. Rape is a serious crime in the UK. You could go to prison, lose your support and accommodation, and it will affect your asylum claim.”

Local police statistics show high rates of rape by foreign nationals from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq. The populations with high rates of rape also have high rates of migration.

That’s not a coincidence.

Despite that, Labour Home Secretary Mahmood announced a plan to ‘fast track’ the arrival of Afghan and ‘Palestinians’ migrants to the UK. The Pakistani Muslim politician ordered Britons to be “ready and able to welcome those who come here” and “unlock the inherent generosity of this country.” That generosity means bringing more Afghans rapists to attack women in the UK.

Mahmood blames the ubiquity of rape by migrants on “criminal gangs” and “people traffickers”, but it means that at best the other men on the boats are at best complicit in what is happening.

A recent assault on a migrant on a boat by three other migrants had no indication that the perpetrators were gang members. In one of the most notorious cases, an Iraqi migrant raped and strangled to death a fellow Iraqi 16-year-old girl on a boat. This is not just ‘traffickers’: it’s a reflection of an Islamic culture where unprotected women and girls are seen as fair game.

And the wave of sexual assaults by migrants after they arrive in the UK shows it’s not just a few gang members. Some of the worst migrant rapes in the UK this year included numerous Afghan assaults, among the worst of them were two Afghans who only months after invading on a ‘small boat’ kidnapped and raped a 12-year-old girl, strangling her, laughing and taking a video of their victim. There were protests after authorities failed to admit the perpetrators were migrants.

An Iranian teenage invader who raped a 14-year-old girl three weeks after his arrival got no jail time but was told to take classes on “the understanding of consent, boundaries, and victim awareness.” A Kurdish migrant raped a woman only weeks after arriving on a ‘small boat’. Last year, a Syrian migrant assaulted three different women and was given a suspended sentence after he claimed he wasn’t aware his actions were illegal. Such claims are commonplace.

There’s been no evidence that any of these Muslim rapists were ‘human traffickers’.

It’s no coincidence that Afghanistan, a society whose strict Islamic doctrines treat women as subhuman, has produced so many of the rapists or that rape has increased with the mass arrivals of Afghan migrants. Mahmood and the Burnham government want to blame the routine rapes of women and girls on “criminal gangs” in order to present legal mass migration of refugees as an alternative to small boat mass migration, but the problem isn’t the gangs.

The problem is the culture.

The government’s ‘don’t rape’ poster campaign is an inherent admission that migrants aren’t safe and can’t be trusted to even understand basic concepts of right and wrong. When a group of people have to be told that “sex with someone under the age of 16 is a serious crime in the UK”, that is not a “criminal gang” problem: it’s a cultural problem that presents a high risk.

Islam allows adult men to have sex with children as young as 7 years old. Islamic religious authorities believe that a woman who is out in public is guilty of enticing a man, and any rape that occurs is her fault, not that of the rapist. Asking Muslim migrant men to reject this is asking them to reject their own religion. And there is no reason to think that they are about to do that.

The majority of young Muslims in the UK have been polled as preferring Islamic sharia law. Do they in their daily lives actually respect a ban on having sex with children or raping women for any reason other than fear of punishment? Do they believe that Islamic law or British law is more morally right? The problem here isn’t limited to gangs or migrants, it’s a religious issue.

Mahmood has admitted that Muslim women and girls aren’t even safe on boats with Muslim men. How can an entire nation of women and girls be safe with them? The estimated 250,000 women and girls raped and sexually trafficked by Pakistan Muslim sex grooming gangs and the resulting cover-up by Labour authorities including current Prime Minister Burnham and former PM Starmer show that a country full of Muslim migrants is no safer than a boat full of them.

If a Muslim woman isn’t safe on a boat with Muslim men, can any woman be safe with them?
