Allah's Willing Executioners

New Culture Forum’s Ellie Hodges speaks with Adam Brooks, publican, GB News commentator and campaigner against knife crime.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has vowed to take steps to mitigate the financial impacts of the so-called “Boriswave” of post-Brexit migrants and to hold a national inquiry into those responsible for importing millions of foreigners into the country against the repeatedly expressed wishes of the British people.

A report this week from the leading opposition party has claimed that the cost of around 1.6 million migrants who arrived in Britain under former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Tory successors between 2020 and 2024 will cost every British family £20,000 for the pleasure, or £622.5 billion in real terms by 2085, GB News reported.

The money, which would go in large part to funding socialised healthcare and welfare handouts to migrants and to fund infrastructure expansions, would pay for Britain’s entire defence budget ten times over, or three years of the National Health Service (NHS).

Reform noted that many of the Boriswave arrivals were not productive members of the economy but rather young or elderly dependents who represent a net drain on the nation’s already-struggling welfare system.

The granting of nearly 4 million long-term visas, 1.6 to 2.2 million of whom will likely qualify to apply for permanent residency in the coming years, came in direct contrast to multiple Conservative Party manifestos, which vowed to reduce migration to the tens of thousands.

Johnson, who ushered in the liberalisation following Brexit, has since claimed that he did so on the advice of central bankers to serve as what’s described as ‘human quantitative easing’ to reduce inflation amid the coronavirus lockdowns he imposed on the UK.

Farage’s Shadow Home Secretary Zia Yusuf said that if Reform comes to power, it will conduct an unprecedented national inquiry and force figures like Johnson and former Home Secretary Priti Patel to testify over the decision that led to the record-breaking waves of migrants flooding the country.

Reputation Management: Boris Johnson Insists Migration Wave Blame ‘So Unfair’ https://t.co/ijr95RrEVp

“Boris Johnson perpetrated one of the biggest scandals in British history by throwing open our borders to millions who are now set to destroy the country’s finances,” Yusuf said.

“A Reform Government will launch a national inquiry to reveal exactly what happened and how. Boris himself will be forced to testify, under penalty of perjury. He will be held to account.”

Meanwhile, the party has also promised to change the UK immigration system to prevent Boriswave migrants from being granted permanent residency by abolishing the “Indefinite Leave to Remain” system and replacing it with a five-year work visa programme similar to that in the United States.

Reform leader Nigel Farage wrote in The Telegraph that the country must face the “truth about the economic and cultural damage done by uncontrolled immigration.”

“There is still time to do something about this Boriswave. But if a couple of million people get Indefinite Leave to Remain over the next few years, we will be facing a catastrophe,” he warned.

Farage said that while he suspects current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood understands the scale of the problem, the left-wing flank of the Labour Party will never allow the current government to take the necessary steps to save the country from the impending financial disaster.

“The Boriswave marks a low point in 14 years of betrayals by Conservative governments. The reluctance of the Labour government to do anything about it – at the same time as it is working hard to overturn Brexit – confirms that Keir Starmer is not on the side of the British people. These parties have broken Britain, and the public will not forget it. Only Reform UK will stop the Boriswave, secure our borders – and always put the British people first,” Farage said.

The right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) has become the strongest party in Germany in a YouGov poll, gaining one percentage point to 27% compared with the previous month.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s conservative bloc fell three points to 23%, its lowest level in YouGov surveys since December 2021. The Social Democrats (SPD), Merz’s coalition partner, dropped one point to 13%.

The Greens and The Left each rose by one point to 14% and 10% respectively. The Free Democrats (FDP) and Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) were both at 4%, below the threshold to enter parliament.

YouGov surveyed 2,178 eligible voters between April 10-13, as the German government struggles to respond effectively to surging energy prices due to the war in Iran.

Dissatisfaction with the coalition government has risen, with 79% of respondents saying they were unhappy with its performance, compared with 55% in June 2025.

Among supporters of Merz’s conservative bloc – made up of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Bavaria-only Christian Social Union (CSU) – satisfaction fell to 34% in April from 48% in March.

A 19-year-old Afghan national has been arrested and charged following a series of brutal sexual attacks on goats and sheep in Pennes-Mirabeau, a municipality in Bouches-du-Rhône, near Marseille.

The suspect was taken into custody by the anti-crime brigade (BAC) on the night of April 9-10, 2026, after local sheep and goat owners alerted police. Since early 2026, several owners had discovered their animals injured, with incidents reported in both February and March. The animals had their legs tied and showed clear signs of rape, according to French newspaper La Provence.

After multiple similar episodes, the owners installed motion-sensor cameras on their properties in an attempt to identify the perpetrator. The footage revealed the silhouette of a young man visiting their livestock at night, and the images were handed over to police, who were eventually able to identify a matching suspect.

The man appeared before a judge on Saturday, April 11, who ordered his placement in pre-trial detention. He was set to appear in court on Monday, April 13. He faces up to three years in prison and a €45,000 fine for acts of cruelty toward domesticated animals.

The case has drawn the attention of the Animal Protection Association (SPA), which announced it would pursue civil action in the matter.

“[We] are going to take this barbarian to court,” the SPA declared. “Thank you to the national police for their essential intervention.”

Last year in Germany, a shocking case has emerged from the beautiful town of Oberneufnach in Bavaria, which involved a 52-year-old Turkish asylum seeker allegedly breaking into a stable and sexually abusing ponies.

The man, who is from a refugee shelter in the nearby town of Anhofen, was arrested after he was caught on surveillance video.

The man broke into the horse farm at 6:45 p.m. while the family was having dinner. They heard the dog barking and then looked on surveillance monitors, where they saw the man in the stable with his pants down on top of one of the animals.

The boyfriend then ran to the stables to chase down the man, but he had already fled the scene. He continued his pursuit of the suspect though and eventually caught him. Police arrived and placed the man under arrest.

In 2023, a 27-year-old suspect was arrested after he was caught on a surveillance camera raping a pony at a stable south of Hamburg. The 18-year-old pony, which is named “Carrie,” was abused by the man at 1 a.m., with footage showing the man calmly walking onto the property and starting to attack the defenseless animal.

Steffi B. released the footage to German newspaper Bild, which posted stills of the perpetrator on its web publication.

The attack happened in Birkenmoor, which is in Harburg, just a few kilometers from the Hamburg city center.

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.

The German Government has spent €64,677 on hairstyling and make-up services for former chancellor Angela Merkel of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) since June 2024.

That is according to official information released yesterday in response to a parliamentary inquiry.

This data was given in reply to an MP from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, with details passed to outlets including Junge Freiheit and Apollo News.

Of this total cost for hair and make-up, €36,354 was incurred in 2025 alone, equivalent to about €3,000 per month on average.

The Federal Chancellery has previously justified such expenses as “necessary expenditures” linked to the performance of “ongoing official duties” by former chancellors.

This includes public appearances, international engagements and other post-office obligations.

Travel and accommodation costs for her personal stylist when accompanying Merkel have also been covered.

In contrast to Merkel, her successor Olaf Scholz, who coincidentally has a more challenged hairline, has not incurred any further expenses in the same period.

This latest figure adds to earlier documented spending.

In 2023, it was reported that Merkel’s post-chancellorship styling had already cost taxpayers around €55,000 to €57,000 since she left office in December 2021, with approximately €37,000 to €39,780 recorded for 2022 and further sums in subsequent years.

When combined with the recent outlay, the cumulative amount for hair and make-up alone now exceeds six figures, making her the most expensive former chancellor for the federal government to date.

Excluded from the costs are the expenses for offices, company vehicles and bodyguards.

The Bund der Steuerzahler (Taxpayers’ Association) has repeatedly expressed concern, stating that such costs are difficult to justify to ordinary citizens who must cover their own grooming expenses.

Its President,  Reiner Holznagel,  has called for reductions to the absolute minimum and, where possible, for politicians to bear these costs privately.

In the past, the German Chancellery refused to disclose the exact costs, citing the personality rights, trade secrets and operational confidentiality of the contractor responsible for makeup and hairstyling.

A Panthéon corruption scandal is brewing.

A new French corruption scandal erupted today (14) as financial and anti-corruption police raided services linked to the Élysée Palace as part of an investigation opened in October 2025.

The probe is looking into allegations of favoritism, conflict of interest, corruption, and influence peddling when awarding public contracts for organizing prestigious Panthéon ceremonies by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux (Center of National Monuments).

French cops are focusing on Shortcut Events, which monopolized the organization of all such €2 million ceremonies from 2002 to 2024.

Investigators want to know if the contracts awarded to the same firm involved improper support from the Élysée, Ministry of Culture, or related bodies, bypassing normal procurement rules.

But the French police found the doors of the Presidential Palace closed to them.

Politico reported:

“The French presidency refused to let investigators enter the Elysée Palace on Tuesday as part of a probe into contracts linked to memorial ceremonies, invoking the immunity enjoyed by French President Emmanuel Macron.

The investigators that presented themselves at the Elysée Palace weren’t granted entry, according to a French presidency official who was granted anonymity for protocol reasons.

‘Investigators were told that the documents pertaining to Élysée Palace staff, which are unrelated to the President’s official duties and can therefore be disclosed, would be provided to them upon request’, an Elysée official said.”

National Financial Prosecutor Pascal Prache said that the failed raid was part of a probe on contracts for the organization of memorial ceremonies.

“French presidency staff told investigators they couldn’t search the Elysée Palace because the premises are covered by presidential immunity, the statement said.”

Two “non-binary“ leftist activists in Germany showed homosexual pornography to 14-year-old students during a school project week, according to a new report.

A high school in Schleife, Saxony, hosted a project week for students in the 9^th grade (14 to 15 years of age) from March 16 to 20, during which two left-wing radicals were invited to lead the class.

According to a report by Junge Freiheit that caused political shockwaves in Germany, school Principal Jan Rehor sent “non-binary” activists to the class without any supervision. A girl from the class said, “The principal personally brought these people into the classroom and then left us alone with them.”

The two female activists introduced themselves as university students but did not give their real names because, according to the parents, those names could be associated with a gender with they did not identify with. They were part of a theater project called “Mut!” (Courage!). During the five school days, they were supposed to familiarize the students with their ideas instead of holding classes, since the teachers were busy with exams for the 10th-grade classes.

The principal had not previously discussed the project details with parents, which constitutes a violation of Saxony’s school law if the topic concerns “sexual education.”

The two substitute teachers demanded that everyone introduce themselves using their “preferred pronouns” rather than their name. A girl said, “My name is Leonie (the name was changed by Junge Freiheit) and I’d like to be called that.”

One of the activists reportedly responded by saying, “In this ‘Nazi Saxony,’ we didn’t expect anything else.”

At one point, the LGBT activists opened two backpacks and spread their contents on the floor. The materials included explicit homosexual pornographic photos and anti-AfD (Alternative for Germany) slogans, like “F*** AfD” and “Höcke [an AfD politician] is a Nazi.”

One student took photos of the images, which were sent to Junge Freiheit, who later broke the story.

After the end of the first day of the project week, one of the students told his parents about the pornographic images.

The students’ parents subsequently complained to the principal, whom they accused of failing in his duty and of “letting the activists loose on the children” without any safeguards.

On March 17, after the first day of the project, the principal responded with a letter addressed to all parents and students in the class. It states: “The two instructors of the ‘Mut’ theater project received notice of termination today pursuant to § 9(1) and § 3(1) of the service contract.” He “thanked” the parents who “objectively and constructively” discussed with him “the serious violation of the principles of school education.”

Parents complained that the principal’s letter contains no apology and said that the issue was not adequately addressed.

A preliminary police investigation is currently underway against the “two adult female suspects” on suspicion of distributing pornographic content, after parents filed a complaint against them. The school principal could potentially also be charged for neglecting his duty to properly supervise the students.

The case has caused a national political scandal in Germany. AfD co-leader Tino Chrupalla, who was elected to the German Parliament in the district of Görlitz, where the school is located, told Junge Freiheit, “Disturbed parents called me and told me about the incident.”

“I support the local council members in their demand that the CDU mayor of Schleife, Jörg Funda, and the school investigate the case. I am making the same demand of Saxony’s CDU Minister of Education, Conrad Clemens,” he added.

The two far-left activists had reportedly received funding from the leftist Amadeu Antonio Foundation. Whether the two self-identified non-binary individuals were also booked for appearances at other schools is “unknown,” a spokesperson for the Ministry of Education said.

Chrupalla told the Junge Freiheit that the Ministry of Education must “prevent such things in the future by prohibiting schools in Saxony from organizing joint projects with organizations that also promote transgender ideology.” The AfD leader said, “In principle, I consider non-educators in schools and daycare centers to be problematic.” He added that “all these NGOs” have no place there.

A shadow industry of law firms and advisers is charging thousands of pounds to help migrants pretend to be gay in order to stay in the UK, the BBC has found.

In the first part of a major undercover investigation, we reveal how migrants whose visas are due to run out are being given fake cover stories and instructed in how to obtain fabricated evidence, including supporting letters, photographs and medical reports.

They then apply for asylum claiming to be gay and in fear for their lives if they return to Pakistan or Bangladesh.

In response to our findings, the Home Office said: “Anyone found trying to exploit the system will face the full force of the law, including removal from the UK.”

The UK’s asylum process offers protection to people who can’t return to their home countries because they would be in danger, for example in countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh where gay sex is illegal.

But the BBC News investigation reveals the process is being systematically exploited by legal advisers extracting fees from migrants who want to stay in the country.

These are often people whose student, work or tourist visas have expired, rather than those who have just arrived in the country on small boats or through other illegal routes.

This group now makes up 35% of all asylum claims, which topped 100,000 in 2025.

After gathering initial evidence, including tip-offs, we sent undercover reporters to investigate how willing immigration advisers were to help people make up false asylum claims.

The reporters posed as international students from Pakistan and Bangladesh whose visas were due to expire.

The investigation discovered:

• One law firm charged up to £7,000 to bring a fabricated asylum claim and promised that the chance of refusal by the Home Office was “very low”
• Fake asylum seekers visited GPs pretending to be depressed in order to get medical evidence to bolster their cases, with one even lying about being HIV positive
• One immigration adviser boasted that she had spent more than 17 years helping bring fake claims and said she could arrange for someone to pretend they’d had a gay sexual relationship with a client
• Our undercover reporter was even told he could bring his wife over from Pakistan once he had got asylum in the UK and she could then make a fake claim pretending to be a lesbian
• A lawyer linked to another firm told an undercover reporter he had helped people pretend to be gay or atheists to successfully obtain asylum. He offered to help with a fake claim for a fee of £1,500 and said it would cost a further £2,000-£3,000 to create evidence

On a Tuesday evening at a community centre in a quiet corner of Beckton, east London, more than 175 people have gathered for an event.

Some have travelled from as far as South Wales, Birmingham and Oxford to attend a meeting organised by Worcester LGBT, which describes itself as a support group for gay and lesbian asylum seekers.

The group’s website says that only genuine gay asylum seekers are welcome.

But the men spilling out from the centre’s doors onto the pavement outside readily admit to our undercover reporter that all is not as it seems.

“Most of the people here are not gays,” one man called Fahar says.

Another, who gives the name Zeeshan, goes further.

“Nobody is a gay here. Not even 1% are gay. Not even 0.01% are gay.”

Humberside Police has closed its investigation into grooming gangs in Hull after “exploring every possible line of enquiry”.

The Operation Conference probe has been shut down with no charges despite a fresh team taking over the investigation in 2022.

The investigation was originally called Operation Marksman, which ran from 2019 to 2021, when it closed with no charges even though 34 arrests were made.

It was reopened under the Conference banner when specialists from the Hydrant Programme, the national policing lead for child sex abuse investigations, reviewed the investigation.

The grooming gang in Hull was revealed by Sky News in late 2021, with the channel speaking to two teenagers who named their attackers and showed locations where they were raped and “sold into the sex trade” by an organised abuse ring.

Some of the victims spoke about being threatened with weapons to keep them quiet and prevent them from escaping the grip of the abuse network.

When the grooming probe was reopened in 2022, with £500,000 of fresh funding, the then-Chief Constable Lee Freeman said: “This enquiry remains a priority for us and we are not going to let it drop.”

But it was later reported by Sky News in 2024 that officers had been moved off the case to deal with the summer riots and the major investigation into a funeral parlour in Hull, where a director was charged with dozens of counts of preventing a lawful burial.

GB News has spoken with a representative from a network that has supported grooming gang victims in Hull.

The supporter said: “This is a devastating outcome for victims and survivors who have spent years giving evidence, reliving trauma, and trusting the system to deliver justice. To see another investigation closed despite what they believe was damning evidence is disappointing and deeply damaging.

“This is not an isolated failure, it reflects a pattern across policing, the CPS, and the wider justice system where victims are too often let down. But this is not the end. We will continue to stand with them, to speak out, and to fight for the justice they deserve.”

Humberside Police said in a statement: “Child sexual exploitation is a deplorable and condemnable crime, and we are committed to treating all reports of this nature with the upmost importance and sensitivity.

“These cases are usually extremely complex and require a careful and thorough review of all available evidence. To ensure each case receives the care and attention it rightfully deserves, we have a dedicated investigation team with specialist expertise and resources needed to carry out full and comprehensive enquiries, as outlined in the Casey Review.

“We acknowledge the courage and bravery of those involved in Operation Conference, as we understand that talking about sexual exploitation is incredibly difficult and distressing to disclose.

“Throughout this review and investigation, our priority has been to follow the evidence without fear or favour and to complete a full, fair and professional investigative review, exploring every possible line of enquiry.

“As is required for all investigations of this nature, a conclusion must be made to determine whether enquiries have met the evidential threshold to be formally referred to the CPS for a charging decision. Following a thorough and detailed review of all available evidence in relation to this investigation, no charges could be brought against the suspects in this case.

“Should any new pieces of information come to light, it will be treated extremely seriously and investigated to determine whether this builds on the enquiries that have been undertaken.

“The force continues to work with partner agencies and specialist national advisors on a regular basis to help us provide informed support to victims of child sexual exploitation and build upon our knowledge of offences of this seriousness.

“We want to reassure victims that if you come forward, you will be listened to and supported throughout the process, and we will endeavour to do all we can to pursue justice for those affected.

“Any reports of child sexual exploitation will always be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly, and we would always encourage anyone who believes they have been or are a victim of child sexual exploitation, or any similar offence to come forward and speak to us.”

Spain is set to grant legal residency to more than half a million illegal migrants in one of the largest regularisation programmes seen in Europe in decades.

The Socialist government is expected to approve the measure on Tuesday, marking the biggest move of its kind since former prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero carried out a similar scheme in 2005.

Officially, the decree will apply to around 500,000 people already living in Spain without legal status. In reality, the long-term impact is likely to be far greater.

That is partly because many of those granted residency will later bring family members to Spain. It is also because such programmes tend to encourage further arrivals, creating what policymakers often describe as a ‘pull factor.’

Spain has already seen how this plays out. In 2005, the government initially estimated there would be around 700,000 beneficiaries. Within a few years, once family reunifications and additional arrivals were included, the figure had exceeded one million.

The decision comes at a time when most European countries are tightening migration policy.

Germany has reintroduced internal border checks and hardened its asylum system. Italy has restricted humanitarian protections and expanded migrant detention capacity. France is weighing new limits on regularisations alongside faster deportations.

At the EU level, the recently agreed Migration and Asylum Pact reflects the same trend, focusing on increased returns, stricter border controls, and efforts to process asylum seekers outside the bloc.

Against that backdrop, Spain’s move stands out.

The plan has also raised concerns within Spain’s Council of State and the Interior Ministry. The Council of State, the country’s top advisory body, issued a strongly critical opinion—particularly over how criminal background checks would be handled.

An earlier draft would have allowed applications to proceed even if individuals could not provide official proof of a clean criminal record from their country of origin, in some cases relying on a signed declaration. The Council rejected this approach and called for stricter verification.

Spain’s Interior Ministry also opposed the proposal, arguing that applications should be paused until authorities can confirm both identity and criminal history.

The new system is also less restrictive than the 2005 programme. At that time, employers had to initiate the process and demonstrate that the individual was already working. Under the current plan, migrants can apply on their own.

Opposition parties have announced legal challenges. The establishment conservative People’s Party says the government is bypassing parliament by using a decree, while the right-wing VOX party, led by Santiago Abascal, plans to take the case to the Supreme Court.

The implications extend beyond Spain. Anyone granted residency will be able to travel freely across most of Europe’s Schengen area.

That prospect has unsettled some European governments, particularly as they attempt to project a tougher stance on migration at home.

Madrid argues the policy will help address labour shortages and support the tax base, especially in sectors such as agriculture, hospitality, and care.

But this does not resolve the broader political concern. Large-scale regularisations can send a signal beyond a country’s borders—that entering Spain illegally may eventually lead to legal status.

That is precisely the scenario many European governments have sought to avoid in recent years.The timing also makes the decision more contentious. Unlike in 2005, Spain is now grappling with a severe housing shortage, overstretched public services, and a surge in migrant arrivals in the Canary Islands and its southern coast.
