Allah's Willing Executioners

Former Interior Minister and presidential hopeful Bruno Retailleau has called for mandatory chemical castration for the most dangerous sex offenders following the murder of 11-year-old Lyhanna, a case which renewed criticism of the country’s criminal justice system.

Speaking yesterday during a televised debate featuring several presidential candidates and party leaders, Retailleau argued that France must adopt stronger measures to protect children from repeat offenders.

“Given the difficulties surrounding mandatory prison sentences, we must consider other solutions,” Retailleau said.

“That is why I am proposing mandatory chemical castration for the most dangerous individuals, those who present the highest risk of reoffending.”

“We cannot leave our children vulnerable to these criminals,” he added.

Under current French law, chemical castration can only be ordered by a judge and requires the consent of the offender.

The Conservative politician also called for expanded access to France’s sex offender registry. Under his proposal, any employer seeking to hire an individual for a position involving contact with children would be required to consult the registry before making a hiring decision.

“If an alert is raised, that person must not be hired,” Retailleau said, arguing that child protection must take precedence over bureaucratic obstacles.

There is deep political divisions over how best to address sexual violence and repeat offending in France.

Speaking on the same TV programme, Green Party leader and 2027 presidential candidate Marine Tondelier questioned the effectiveness of chemical castration and argued that broader mental health issues must also be addressed.

“There is a widespread mental health problem in the country, in many different forms, and we do not know how to deal with it,” Tondelier said.

The murder of Lyhanna has intensified scrutiny of France’s justice system, with many questioning whether authorities could have intervened sooner.

Reports that the suspect was already known to law enforcement have fuelled public anger and renewed concerns about the state’s ability to prevent repeat offenders from committing further crimes.

Northern Ireland saw a second night of unrest with police using water cannons on rioters, as the Belfast stabbing attack victim’s family said they were “disgusted” by the disorder.

Police were pelted with bricks and petrol bombs by balaclava-clad rioters in Co Antrim on Wednesday evening in the latest disorder following the Belfast knife attack on Monday.

Wearing England badges during the World Cup could intimidate detained migrants, immigration officers have been told.

The Three Lions are set to start their World Cup campaign next week against Croatia.

Staff at detention centres have been warned in the lead-up to the event that wearing patriotic items may damage “professional standards.”

The report made by the Independent Monitoring Board says: “On two occasions during the summer, staff at one short-term holding facility were observed wearing England flags affixed to their uniforms.

“The Board felt this risked perceptions of bias or even intimidation among detained people, especially in the light of recent anti-immigration protests in which flag displays were prominent.

“At a minimum, the Board concluded that this raised concerns about professional standards and workplace culture at the facility.”

The report highlights incidents that took place in 2025, which coincided with the lionesses maintaining their Euros crown with a win over Spain.

Migrants who have no right to remain in the country and are awaiting deportation stay in STHFs while they are being processed.

Alongside the warning against wearing flags, the report also highlighted concerns with routine handcuffing for transfers, excessive use of force, and lengthy stays in detention for migrants ahead of their deportations.

Jane Leech, the interim IMB national chair, told the Daily Mail: ‘While [boards] do identify individual examples of good practice, these are unfortunately not reflected consistently across the system.

“We have seen patterns repeat, warnings ignored, and risks re-emerge in different forms.

“The evidence available to us strongly suggests that many of these longstanding issues are not only unresolved but are becoming more acute.

“We repeatedly see health deteriorating in closed settings, delays in accessing medical care, rising distress, and vulnerable individuals becoming more unwell the longer detention continues.

“These are outcomes we observe directly, not theoretical risks.

“The Home Office must exercise stronger oversight and clearer accountability in how detention is used in practice.

“Without decisive action to address problems that have been evident for many years, people in immigration detention will continue to experience avoidable harm.”

The Prime Minister was asked about his thoughts on the St George’s cross following a row over Operation Raise the Colours.

A spokesman said: “The PM has always talked about his pride in being British, his patriotism…patriotism will always be an important thing to him.

“We put up English flags all around Downing Street every time the English football team, women’s and men’s are out, trying to win games for us.”

In ‘Ireland is Committing Genocide Against Itself’, I wrote about the horrifying Muslim mass stabbing case in Dublin. “An Algerian Arab began stabbing children outside a Catholic school in Dublin. A five and six-year-old girl suffered severe injuries.”

“When a crowd gathered to protest the latest act of Muslim violence, a ruthless police and media crackdown quickly ensued. Media accounts emphasized that the Algerian Muslim stabber, Bouchaker, who needed an Arabic translator in court, was really an “Irish citizen” and condemned bigotry against him.”

No mention was made in the media that Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire, the Catholic school attended by the children, was four blocks away from the ‘Dublin Mosque’ and the headquarters of the ‘Islamic Foundation of Ireland’ which had formerly been the Donore Presbyterian Church.”

Now the trial of Riad Bouchaker is finally underway and we’re hearing about the suffering of the innocent children assaulted by the Muslim butcher.

The mother of one of the girls told the court on Tuesday that her daughter had just turned five and was in junior infants – the first year of school in Ireland – at the time of the incident.

The court heard the child is now in a wheelchair and is “non-verbal”, answering yes or no questions by blinking.

The woman explained her daughter suffered injuries to her heart and had been without oxygenation to her brain for around 40 minutes.

She said this caused “severe damage to her brain”.

They had performed emergency heart surgery and there were staples around her heart.

Her injuries saw her suffer some seizures and “major damage in her motor skills”.

Asked by prosecuting barrister Karl Finnegan SC about her daughter’s current condition, the woman said she is currently in a wheelchair and she is non-verbal.

“She is learning how to swallow. Her nutrition is all through a tube in her stomach and she is now able to answer yes or no through blinking,” the woman said.

“So, we ask her yes or no questions and she blinks to give us the best of her answers.”

She said her daughter cannot go to the toilet by herself, nor reach for anything by herself.

She said her daughter had to take medication to fall asleep.

The court also heard evidence from four other parents who had been attending the school and after-school on the day in question.

One mother explained her then six-year-old child had a cut to the back of her head and a fragment of skull was missing.

In line with the same excuse now used for nearly every Muslim terrorists, the defense is that Riad was mentally unstable. And not at all a terrorist.

Yet he sought out and attacked children outside a Catholic school.

Now, as protests are rising over the latest violent Muslim attack, the attempted beheading of a disabled man by a Sudanese Muslim, some are asking how much more the Irish are expected to bear.

In the wake of the attempted beheading of a Belfast man by a Sudanese asylum seeker and the murder of Henry Nowak, NCF Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo rips into the political and media class who enabled this and continue to gaslight the public.

The outcry sparked by the murder of 11-year-old Lyhanna in France shows no sign of abating. More than a week after the girl’s body was found, the case has taken on a national dimension, fuelled by a series of revelations about the past of the main suspect, Jérôme Barella, as well as the alleged failings of the institutions responsible for protecting minors.

Across France, rallies have been held outside courthouses. In Paris, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Marseille, Lille, and Lyon, thousands of people have gathered to pay tribute to the victim and demand answers. In many cities, participants have condemned what they see as a series of failures that allowed a man who had already been reported on several occasions to evade the justice system for several years.

As the days have passed, revelations about Jérôme Barella’s history have reinforced this sense of bewilderment. Several proceedings against him for sexual offences against minors were reportedly known to the authorities before the tragedy, fuelling a national debate on the resources available to the justice system and the handling of reports of sexual violence against children.

But the investigation is no longer limited to the main suspect alone. The inquiries have gradually extended to his family circle, raising new questions.

According to revelations by Europe 1, Barella’s brother was taken into police custody under unexpected circumstances. He is said to have gone to the police to file a complaint for defamation, having been harassed online since the discovery of his brother’s potential guilt. Checks carried out on that occasion reportedly led investigators to discover that he was involved in a separate case relating to rape allegations—revealing another unresolved investigation. This chance discovery prompted further investigations and reignited questions about the existence of previous reports or incidents within the family circle.

Other details regarding Barella’s father have also caught the attention of investigators and the media. A previous legal case, now closed, has returned to the centre of public debate since the start of the affair. No conviction was handed down against him in that case either.

Following the judicial authorities, it is now the turn of the ministry of education to come under fire, following revelations concerning Barella’s professional background. A former school supervisor, he had been dismissed following behaviour deemed inappropriate towards a pupil. This report should have led to increased vigilance and a more effective flow of information between the various authorities concerned. The minister of national education, Edouard Geffray, also finds himself having to take responsibility and reassess his ministry’s ineffective procedures. He told the press that he wanted to “scrutinise every detail” of the reports concerning Barella—echoing Justice Minister Darmanin’s proactive call to “re-examine” all ongoing abuse complaints involving minors.

The government’s administrative investigations must now determine whether the alerts were handled improperly or whether there were failures in the exchange of information.

Faced with the scale the case has taken on, Emmanuel Macron himself has finally responded. The head of state has called for a full investigation into the circumstances that allowed the suspect to remain at liberty despite the reports against him, acknowledging the existence of significant failings that may have occurred at various levels of the state apparatus. He has, however, criticised the political and media frenzy, arguing that “one does not respond to a tragedy with shouting”—thereby running the risk of coming across as technocratic and insensitive.

The Lyhanna case has also reignited the debate on the criminal justice system’s response to sexual violence against minors. Several politicians are already calling for tougher penalties for those who rape children, particularly when they are involved in multiple cases or present a high risk of reoffending.

In the Austrian city of St. Pölten, a 28-year-old Afghan brutally attacked his Afghan partner during an argument and tried to cut off her nipple with a knife in mid-May. Prosecutors are also investigating the charge of rape as well. The details are just being released now.

The attack began in their multi-family house in St. Pölten. The woman managed to escape to a neighbor, while the aggressor is in pretrial detention, according to Austrian outlet Heute.

On Monday, Lower Austria’s vice-president and FPÖ state party leader Udo Landbauer reacted to the incident from a political perspective. “This is the result of imported violence from Afghanistan and other Muslim countries. There is no place in Austria for such people,” he said in a statement.

He continued by saying the “excess of violence” is “proof of the failed integration policy of the single party” and “the classic case for remigration.”

“What else has to happen before ÖVP Interior Minister Karner finally pulls the emergency asylum brake and ensures that not a single asylum seeker enters the country?” asked Landbauer. “That’s enough. Too many women and children have already fallen victim to the unbridled welcoming policy.”

Remix News has actually reported on this specific small Austrian city before. In that report, it was revealed that 72 percent of all welfare recipients were foreigners in St. Pölten.

When just examining two foreign groups, the data shows that 49 percent of all social assistance paid out in the small city of approximately 56,000 people is going to just two groups of origin: Syrians and Afghans, according to the Austria Press Agency (APA).

Mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor has called for the army to be sent into asylum accommodation and for all undocumented migrants to be expelled, after a knife attack in Belfast triggered days of anti-immigration unrest across the United Kingdom.

The former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion, one of the most prominent anti-immigration voices in Ireland, set out his demand on X on June 9.

“Enter IPAS centres militarily and remove all illegal entrants from this island [ … ] Get them out. Stop them coming,” he wrote, referring to the Republic of Ireland’s asylum accommodation service.

His intervention came after a man in his 40s was stabbed repeatedly in north Belfast late on June 8, suffering serious wounds to his face, eyes, neck and back.

A 30-year-old Sudanese man was charged with attempted murder, possession of a knife in a public place and making threats to kill. He was due to appear at Belfast Magistrates’ Court.

Police said the suspect had been granted leave to remain in the UK in 2023 after claiming asylum, and was not previously known to officers. They added there was no indication of a terrorist motive.

The charges sparked protests in which hundreds of people took to the streets. Demonstrators torched a bus in east Belfast and set cars and bins alight, while foreign-owned businesses were attacked.

The unrest spread to other parts of the country, with a march in Southampton, southern England. At least four people were arrested on the first night and three police officers were injured.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the assault as “sickening”. Northern Ireland’s main party leaders jointly condemned it as horrific and appealed for calm.

Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill warned against attempts to exploit the attack to target migrant communities. Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Gavin Robinson called for the suspect to be deported if convicted.

McGregor, who holds no elected office, has repeatedly used his large social media following to attack the Irish and British governments over migration. He reposted a call for nationwide rallies from the right-wing activist Tommy Robinson.

The episode echoed unrest in 2025, when anti-immigration rioting in the Northern Irish town of Ballymena drove out much of its Roma population, and protests that followed a fatal stabbing in Dublin in 2023.

Although police have stressed the Belfast investigation continues, the attack has once again fuelled a charged debate over asylum policy in both parts of Ireland.

A Polish model was harassed and beaten by a group of young men in central Milan, Italy, before being rescued by a passerby.

On June 6, 30-year-old Polish model Anna Aksamit said she was followed, surrounded, sexually harassed, and physically assaulted by a group of young men in Milan shortly after 2 p.m. while walking to a supermarket near her home. The attack ended when an unidentified man intervened after hearing her screams and drove the group away.

The attack prompted fierce debate about the safety of citizens and tourists in large Italian cities, where crime involving large groups of immigrants occurs almost daily.

“Without his intervention, I do not know what would have happened to me,” Aksamit said in an appeal aimed at finding the man who came to her aid. “I would like to meet him or at least know his name. I owe him a great deal, and I would like to thank him for what he did. It was an extraordinary act, a true hero’s gesture.”

Aksamit recounted that she was on her way to buy groceries when she noticed a group of young men, whom she estimated numbered between six and eight. She said some of them appeared to be drinking beer. Feeling uneasy, she crossed the street in an attempt to avoid them.

Changing direction did not prevent the encounter. She said the group began following her and soon caught up with her. The men surrounded her, touched her against her will, and then struck her repeatedly. Aksamit also stated that the attackers wanted to rape her and that she tried to resist. She said the situation escalated when she rejected them. She was then punched in the face, head, and abdomen by several members of the group.

The model said that her cries for help attracted the attention of a “young muscular man” who stepped in after witnessing what was happening. She credited his intervention with preventing the situation from becoming worse and said he confronted the group alone before they fled.

“He also took a great risk by facing them on his own and without fear,” Aksamit said. “If I am here today, it is thanks to him.”

More than two days after the incident, her public appeal had not yet succeeded in identifying the man. Aksamit, who moved to Milan for work and has lived in the city since September, continued to seek information that could lead her to the person she describes as her rescuer.

The model also described the physical and emotional impact of the attack. She said she spent the night after the incident crying and remained deeply shaken by what had happened. She reported that one of her eyes continued to swell because of the blows she received.

Because of the shock she experienced, Aksamit said she was unable to provide a detailed description of the attackers’ faces; however, she recalled that they “were thin” and that some “were carrying beer bottles.”

The incident, which took place in one of Milan’s central districts in broad daylight, is the latest in a long series of daytime assaults and acts of violence in major Italian cities – including Rome, Milan, and Naples – targeting people on the streets.

While the identities of the attackers are unknown, the description provided by Aksamit recalls that of the “maranza,” who plague Italian cities – groups of young immigrants of north African origin, often unemployed, forming violent gangs. They move in groups, harassing and insulting people, often robbing and beating the most vulnerable victims – the elderly, women, and even children.

In August, a new EU packaging regulation will come into force. A costly and cumbersome compliance regime comes with it. It increasingly appears that nothing can stop Brussels’ bureaucratization machine anymore.

Regulation follows regulation. On August 12, the so-called EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will enter into force, reorganizing the recycling framework for packaging across Europe. Adopted last year, the regulation becomes binding for all EU member states and companies on August 12 and, as an EU regulation, does not require transposition into national law. The PPWR will replace the current patchwork of national packaging recycling laws with a unified framework for the EU single market. Until then, Germany’s existing Packaging Act (VerpackG) remains in effect.

Brussels always tells the same story: regulation is supposed to strengthen the European single market and harmonize economic and environmental objectives. A beautiful narrative — especially for those who stand to profit from it. Similar dynamics have already emerged in other sectors, such as carbon emissions trading. In the end, compliance costs for affected businesses rise, the bureaucratic apparatus expands through new control and sanctioning mechanisms, and the overall economy loses competitiveness.

According to the European Commission, the goal of the regulatory push is to ensure that by 2030 only recyclable packaging materials circulate within the EU economy. The regulation aims to reduce packaging waste, increase corporate recycling quotas, and firmly embed the circular economy into a binding legal framework. The PPWR is one of the building blocks of the Green Deal, which seeks to lead the EU economy toward a carbon-neutral future through an increasingly detailed and expansive regulatory architecture covering national recycling efforts as well as sector-specific initiatives.

Brussels’ regulatory activism offers repeated insights into the logic of bureaucratic systems. Such systems develop a kind of life of their own and an inherent drive to acquire ever more competencies and powers — an evolutionary struggle for institutional survival that gradually eliminates any meaningful feedback loop with the economic system bureaucracy claims to regulate. This recurring process has consequences: increasingly detached from business realities, ideologically driven compliance pressure continues to mount across affected sectors. As a result, adaptation, documentation, and implementation costs require businesses to devote ever more resources simply to satisfy regulatory demands.

The EU is thereby creating yet another artificial compliance market. It generates business opportunities for consultants and service providers that would likely not survive in a truly free market. This development is already familiar from the ever-expanding climate regulation architecture. And, as is typical with excessive bureaucracy, large corporations with their own branch networks naturally enjoy major cost advantages over smaller niche businesses, which must now spend substantial time, money, and personnel building compliance networks of their own. None of this resembles an integrated European single market anymore. The economy increasingly serves as a playground for the ideological fantasies of an ever-growing class of officials.

What we are witnessing here is a fundamental ideological, administrative, and political problem. The packaging regulation fits into the broader structure of intrusive, hyper-detailed, and sanction-heavy regulation from an authority that no longer recognizes the signs of the times — namely, the economic crisis that its own policies have helped fuel. Germany’s annual bureaucratic burden is estimated by the ifo Institute at roughly €146 billion in direct and indirect costs — an absolute disaster for the country as a business location. Moreover, this policy of micromanagement stifles innovation in materials, logistics, and recycling technologies, and will ultimately deliver worse outcomes at far higher cost than a free market would.

Petty, exhausting, and expensive, Euro-bureaucracy is steadily eroding Europe’s competitiveness and turning private-sector investment into a gamble. The idea of the free market — namely that consumer demand for cleaner, more environmentally friendly production and logistics can be expressed through competition itself, one of civilization’s greatest achievements — appears to have largely vanished within today’s EU.

In contrast to competing jurisdictions such as the United States, which are lowering compliance costs through deregulation, Europe’s misguided trajectory becomes especially obvious. One final statistic illustrates the scale of the problem: according to an analysis by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), German businesses alone have had to dedicate roughly 325,000 additional workers over the past three years simply to manage growing bureaucratic requirements.

These are staggering figures that reveal the true scale of Euro-bureaucracy. And at present, it does not appear that opposition forces are strong enough to divert the EU from its current path away from market economics and toward state management and ever-expanding bureaucracy.
