‘I have trouble behaving around girls’ – Palestinian migrant convicted for sexually assaulting 15-year-old French girl on a bus

Medforth AI

Following a trial, a 29-year-old Palestinian has been convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl on a bus in the French city of Toulouse. The girl, named Clara to protect her identity, openly sobbed in court while sitting next to her mother.

On June 18, the young girl was riding the L11 bus in the city when the Palestinian migrant, Ahmed, sat next to her. Ahmed spoke in court through a translator, claiming he thought he saw the teenager give “a sign” to him that she wanted to get to know him. Ahmed said he was attracted to Clara “at first sight.”

After Ahmed got on the bus, he went to sit next to the victim, at which point he began to rub her shoulders before he grabbed her transport card, which she had been holding between her legs, according to French news outlet La Depeche. He then grabbed her thighs before moving his hands to her chest. The Palestinian was then arrested after a criminal complaint.

In court, after recounting that he was attracted to Clara, he apologized for his sexual assault in criminal court, saying: “I thought carefully. I would like to apologize. I have trouble behaving around girls. That day, I was elsewhere, I behaved badly.”

“Do you realize that she is traumatized?” the judge responded.

Ahmed fled Gaza and arrived in France in March 2025. He said he has had a difficult existence in France living on the street and in squats. He also says he has been actively consuming cocaine and alcohol “to suffer less psychologically.”

He was then given taxpayer-funded social support and offered accommodations in Cugnaux.

Ahmed told the court that he experienced war and violence during his childhood and adolescence.

The court found Ahmed guilty and sentenced him to six months in prison with continued detention. He is also being banned from French territory for two years and is no longer allowed to participate in any activity involving minors. He will also be a registered sex offender.

A civil case may also rule on further damages related to the 15-year-old girl he targeted.

This is far from the only incident in Toulouse. Last year, Remix News reported on a 54-year-old Senegalese migrant who committed serial sexual assaults on the city’s bus lines over the course of three years, with the man targeting multiple women at different times.

In 2025, Remix News reported that sexual assaults on French public transport had risen 86 percent over the preceding ten years.

Italy: Archdiocese defends masculine Virgin Mary on historic festival banner

A centuries-old Marian tradition at the heart of Siena’s Palio horse race has become the center of controversy after the city’s official devotional banner depicted the Virgin Mary with “androgynous” features.

The local archdiocese came out in defense of the image against widespread criticism among the faithful.

On August 10, the Municipality of Siena unveiled the painted silk banner, or “Drappelone,” of the Virgin Mary to be awarded to the winning district, or “contrada,” of the August race. Commissioned by the city and created by Romanian artist Teodora Axente, the banner shows the city and its districts in its lower section, topped by a large image of the Virgin Mary with markedly masculine features.

A few days later, on August 14, the banner was taken to Siena Cathedral to be blessed by the archbishop ahead of the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is the patron of the city of Siena.

Axente defended the image as her personal vision of the Blessed Virgin. “This is the Madonna that I dream of, this is my vision of the Madonna,” she said. The artist’s work draws on her interest in surrealism and metamorphosis.

During an interview with Siena News, the journalist noted that, for the first time in the history of the Palio, “many women” are depicted in the banner. Axente replied that “the characters don’t refer to being a woman or a man; they are more androgynous, so they are universal characters.”

“With all due reverence to the Most Holy Mary, the Drappellone of the Palio di Siena for the Assumption looks like a man – almost … a ‘cross‑dresser,’ even in the hands,” Italian blog Messainlatino commented on August 14.

However, the Archdiocese of Siena issued a defense of the image through Father Enrico Grassini, director of the archdiocesan Cultural Heritage Office. The priest rejected the idea that Axente intended to produce a profane image while arguing that the artist should have been informed beforehand about the religious significance of the work.

“Considering the cultural and educational context in which the artist works – one of the most renowned art schools in Eastern Europe, the Cluj school in Romania, where contemporary art often engages with Christian spiritual themes and traditional forms – the language of provocation seems absent from the piece,” Grassini wrote.

“The artist, moreover, comes from a Christian formation rooted in the Orthodox tradition, with the resulting limitation of not fully entering into the Western developments of Marian spirituality over the last five centuries, which the Palio’s iconography instead draws upon,” the official statement continues.

However, Byzantine iconography is notably among the most rigid and codified forms of sacred representation. Its visual grammar was fixed by theological and artistic canons between the 11th and 14th centuries and has remained remarkably stable ever since. The so-called neo-Byzantine school does not innovate freely but rather revives those medieval models in order to preserve doctrinal clarity through stylistic continuity.

The Palio di Siena is one of Italy’s oldest and most spectacular civic traditions: a horse race held twice a year in the medieval city. Each race takes place in the city’s central square, where ten of Siena’s historic districts compete for victory. The event is not merely a sporting competition but a centuries-old ritual of civic pride and religious devotion to the Virgin Mary, who is the city’s patron.

The “Drappellone,” namely, the Palio banner, is a painted silk standard awarded to the winning “contrada.” The August Drappelone is commissioned each year from a different artist and serves as both a prize and a devotional image, traditionally depicting Our Lady and symbols of Siena. The banner becomes a cherished relic for the victorious district.

GB News Presenter and Pregnant Wife Ordered by Police to Flee Home in the Dead of Night After Credible Death Threat from Channel People-Smuggling Gangs He Exposed in Calais, France

GB News presenters Patrick Christys and Emily Carver. (Credit: GB News)

A British television presenter who dared to confront the criminal gangs profiting from illegal Channel crossings says he and his heavily pregnant wife were forced to abandon their London home in the dead of night after police delivered a chilling threat-to-life warning.

GB News host Patrick Christys says officers ordered the couple to flee immediately and warned that even their car might have been sabotaged.

The Metropolitan Police issued an official “threat to life” notice warning that organized immigration crime groups in northern France were actively seeking to cause him “significant harm” because of his hard-hitting journalism.

Christys and his heavily pregnant wife, fellow GB News presenter Emily Carver, were told to pack a bag immediately, leave their London flat, and not drive their own car in case it had been booby-trapped. They were ordered into a black cab and sent to a safe house, The Daily Mail reported.

Christys was live on air when his wife called during an advertising break with the chilling message: the police were at their home and someone wanted to kill him. He returned just after midnight on July 25, 2025. Officers read the formal notice and were blunt: get out right now and do not come back.

The threat followed Christys’ fearless reporting from Calais. The gangs openly advertise crossings on TikTok, then move conversations to WhatsApp to discuss times, locations, and prices.

Frustrated that authorities appeared to do little, Christys and a camera crew tracked them down and confronted three suspected smugglers within hours. He says he received death threats during those encounters. One of the men he confronted later turned up on a London street.

Police subsequently installed a panic alarm at the couple’s home, according to Christys, and security measures remained in place after they were allowed to return.

He later alleged that the alarm had been disconnected for approximately ten days without the family being informed because police lacked sufficient equipment.

A year later the official warning has never been lifted. The family still lives under round-the-clock security. Their son George was born weeks after the initial threat.

More from The Daily Mail:

Today, recounting his ordeal for the first time, Christys says he is angry and exasperated by the failure of the British authorities to tackle the gangs, who he says operate in plain sight.

He is also concerned his young family were exposed to danger when the Metropolitan Police disconnected their panic alarm without warning. In one chilling episode, Christys says he was tracked down on a London street by a trafficker from Calais. Twelve months on, the couple have round-the-clock security.

‘This is personal for me,’ he said. ‘I want everyone to understand the reality of who we’re letting in to our country. These human traffickers wanted to kill me in my own home while my wife was eight months pregnant.

‘Who knows if they’d have tried to harm my wife and son in order to get to me? It makes me incredibly angry that we let illegals into the country – who we all pay for. Then we let those same people make millions of pounds trafficking yet more illegals to Britain.

‘They feel so emboldened, they thought they could kill a TV journalist in his own home and get away with it.’

Christys’s disclosure prompted an alarming intervention from Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice, who warned that Britain “cannot be complacent” about the safety of its political figures.

Speaking to GB News presenter Dawn Neesom, Tice said Reform had become increasingly concerned about threats against its members during the preceding two months, and that those fears had begun even before the murder of former Conservative minister and Reform spokeswoman Ann Widdecombe.

Tice called Christys’s account “very distressing” and said the current security climate was forcing political figures to reconsider how they operate.

Asked directly whether he had personally received death threats, Tice replied: “Regrettably, yes, and I’m not alone in that.”

He added that Nigel Farage had faced the greatest volume of threats and described the present climate as “a difficult place in the world of disruptive politics.”

Tice did not suggest that the threats against Reform figures came from the same people accused of targeting Christys. No public evidence has linked the separate cases.

But his warning comes against a grim backdrop.

Widdecombe, 78, was killed at her Devon home in July 2026. A 28-year-old man has been charged with her murder, and counter-terrorism police are investigating whether a political motive was involved.

Authorities have not declared the attack a terrorist incident. Reform has subsequently called for political figures to receive substantially greater security protection. Reuters reported that party officials said threats against Farage and other lawmakers had intensified.

Tice said Reform’s representatives must continue their work but may now be forced to operate differently.

Germany: An international network of left-wing police unions plans to combat AfD governments in a coup-like manner

Medforth AI

The call by Sven Hüber, deputy leader of the Police Union (GdP), who last week urged police officers in Saxony-Anhalt to refuse to obey a potential AfD government, was apparently not an uncoordinated initiative by a single individual, but enjoys the full backing of the union’s chairman, Jochen Kopelke. Behind this lies an international network of left-wing police unions that aim to prevent the rise of right-wing parties – and, should this fail, plan to sabotage their governments. This was revealed by research carried out by “Nius”. In April, the unions formalised their alliance, known as the “Democratic Policing Initiative”, by signing a memorandum in Berlin. “The initiative aims to create a broad, transatlantic platform to strengthen democratic policing, promote professional standards and improve cooperation in protecting vulnerable communities, Kopelke had explained at the time. Behind this vague statement, however, lies the clear intention to incite police officers against their own government if it consists of parties that do not suit the left-wing trade unionists.

The aim of the alliance is “that we do not participate in tyrannical rule”, US police official Paul Goldenberg had announced – and by “tyrannical rule” one means non-left-wing governments. “Police chiefs and senior police officers must understand: how could the Holocaust have happened? Where was the police? What would be the consequences if something like that were to happen again? And why is it so important that the police are not politicised?” Goldenberg continued.

Yet it is he and his fellow campaigners who are politicising the police by immediately seeing a new Holocaust looming whenever a right-wing conservative government comes to power, and using this to justify their refusal to obey orders. The GdP has even developed a ‘remonstration checklist’. ‘Remonstration’ refers to the right of civil servants to raise concerns with their superiors about official orders if they fear that the order may be unlawful or unconstitutional. The checklist contains text templates that police officers can use to justify their refusal to comply, such as: ‘I consider this order to be a criminal offence, and therefore I will not comply with it’.

These are, in fact, plans for a coup and a overthrow that have been drawn up here. For, of course, the GdP and its supporters will summarily declare any instruction from an AfD government to be unlawful, given that the party has been classified by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution as allegedly ‘confirmed as far-right extremist’. The police unions also act as self-appointed monitors of social media, on the grounds that it “reinforces and accelerates hatred and intolerance”. Rutgers University, where Goldenberg is employed, has been scouring the internet for years with its own research unit called the ‘Network Contagion Research Institute’. This unit collects posts containing alleged ‘hate speech’ and forwards them to the police.

Given that similar efforts are being pursued in parallel within the German Armed Forces, and that a purge of unwelcome AfD officials and dissidents is underway – at least informally – it is reasonable to assume that, if push came to shove, there would be no hesitation in staging a full-scale coup against elected but unwelcome AfD state governments, accompanied by domestic military operations to quell any unrest that might then arise. This would effectively mark the start of a civil war. The issue of soldiers’ refusal to obey orders – which has already been openly discussed in the event of an AfD Defence Minister – has, after all, already been raised publicly; indeed, it was originally this very debate concerning an alleged right to refuse orders (based on the principle of internal leadership in the event of an alleged ‘extremist’ government) that subsequently led to similar considerations within the police force – and thus also to Hüber’s alarming statements.

It is unclear to what extent the GdP supports this line. The regional branches in North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Saxony-Anhalt and Berlin had vehemently distanced themselves from Hübers’s comments. Kopelke is likely to agree wholeheartedly with the substance of Hüber’s ramblings about resistance and even a ‘state of internal emergency’ in the event of an AfD state government, but he is nevertheless extremely annoyed by the nationwide public attention that his union – and thus his left-wing machinations – has attracted. For now it is all the more clear what sort of organisation the GdP is – namely a left-wing organisation that exploits police officers for its own political agenda, pursues its own political agenda and even hatches plans for a coup should it disagree with a government.

UK: Sadiq Khan’s City Hall among authorities recommending ‘pro-open borders’ charity’s asylum toolkit

Right to Remain offers advice in a host of foreign languages, including Somali, Arabic, Pashto and Persian | RIGHT TO REMAIN

Local authorities, including Sir Sadiq Khan’s City Hall, have recommended a controversial charity’s asylum toolkit to help illegal migrants secure UK residency claims with the Home Office, GB News can exclusively reveal.

An investigation conducted by the People’s Channel found the Greater London Authority, Ealing Council and Hertfordshire County Council all highlighted services provided by the non-governmental organisation Right to Remain on their websites.

A video by Right to Remain includes step-by-step guides for the asylum interview process | RIGHT TO REMAIN

Part of the charity’s toolkit includes social media videos that provide asylum system explainers for those having their claims heard by the Home Office.

The videos include step-by-step guides for the asylum interview process.

Right to Remain offers advice in a host of foreign languages, including Somali, Arabic, Pashto and Persian.

It describes itself as a group that “works with communities, groups and organisations across the UK”.

In its description, the NGO admitted: “We provide information, resources, training and assistance to help people to establish their right to remain.

“We challenge injustice in the immigration and asylum system.”

The Right to Remain website also claims migrants are “faced with a hostile environment denying them basic rights, and major obstacles to establishing their legal rights to stay”.

In its 2023/24 impact report, it explicitly claims it is on a journey to a world in which “no one is illegal”.

The charity also mentions its campaigners wear T-shirts depicting this slogan.

In a submission to the Charity Commission, Right to Remain claimed its asylum toolkit was used by more than 300,000 people.

A linked campaign group, which Right to Remain claims to run, called These Walls Must Fall, describes itself as “a network of refugee and migrant campaigners working with allies and supporters for radical change”.

It also claims “we need a movement based on radical solidarity to counter the government’s racist hostile environment” and “the border enforcement regime is a racist system”.

Research Director at the Centre for Migration Control, Robert Bates, told Britain’s News Channel: “Public bodies should be nowhere near this pro-open borders group, Right to Remain, and should certainly not be promoting its asylum toolkit.

“Whilst the vast majority of the British public want all illegal migrants detained and deported, it continues to be the tiny sect of anti-British volunteers that call the shots.

“As this exceptional research highlights, there is still a long way to go.”

In a statement, Right to Remain said: “Right to Remain’s Toolkit provides information about the immigration and asylum system based only on legal information published by the Home Office and other publicly available official sources.

“We present this information in plain English to help people understand the system. The Toolkit is publicly available online.

“Right to Remain is a registered charity and receives no Government funding.

“We are clear that the Toolkit provides general information and that we do not provide individual immigration or legal advice.”

A spokesman for Hertfordshire County Council said: “Hertfordshire County Council does not endorse Right to Remain as an organisation, nor does it endorse the organisation’s wider aims or campaigning activities.

“Where reference has been made to Right to Remain’s asylum toolkit, this has been solely because it provides information about the UK asylum system that officers considered useful for educational and informational purposes.”

GB News also contacted the Mayor of London’s office and Ealing Council for comment.

Europe no longer knows why borders exist

by Giulio Meotti

Integration presupposes a gravitational centre; when that centre dissolves, those who arrive do not adapt: they impose themselves. And they are right to do so. No dominant culture “integrates” with its predecessors once it has inherited their space.

The German journalist Julian Reichelt (formerly of Bild) sums it up clearly:

“Their soldiers arrive without weapons, because they know the West no longer defends itself; they have no need of weapons. In this way they complete their objective of conquest and subjugation by demographic means. If we continue to believe that adventurers with individual motives are arriving, we are suicidally mistaken. What is arriving is an army of Muhammad that feels an inner and sacred mandate to erase our weak culture.”

For the first time in recorded history, a civilization has decided that the most enlightened virtue is to surrender its culture, heritage, women, and children without putting up any defence. Suicidal empathy shall prove to be the demise of the West.

Abdul Ballout used a van to kill LGBT people at Berlin Pride. Many demonstrators were decked out in the usual Gaza gear, progressively unaware of their future appointment with Iran’s Islamic crane operators.

The bigger story, however, is another.

Abdul left Germany in 2025 to join ISIS in Syria. He was arrested in Lebanon and imprisoned for three months before doing a waltz back to Germany where he was arrested again.

He was not imprisoned, however; he was handed over to an organisation called “Violence Prevention Network” to follow a “deradicalisation” course.

Four women were supposed to set him back on the right path: Judy Korn, Ella Goldschmied, Ariana Wolfe and Cornelia Lotthammer. Their biographies are full of the usual “social justice, right-wing extremism, gender identity, misogyny, equality,” but nothing about Islam.

The Violence Prevention Network receives a lot of federal funding in Germany and is a founding member of the European Commission’s Radicalisation Awareness Network (RAN).

Sending a terrorist to a course run by activists specialising in right-wing extremism and gender equality is like treating a bacterial infection with a Bach flower infusion.

Not only does it not work, it reinforces the perception that the West is weak, confused and ready to destroy itself.

A bit like the barrier at Ceuta: it cost billions and proves useless.

We continue to pretend that an ideology of conquest can be domesticated with a certificate of attendance, an inclusive smile and a fence full of holes and without police or soldiers.

The images and videos of the invasion of Ceuta show a “Fortress Europe” so weak and whose guards are so powerless that they simply let themselves be overwhelmed.

They show a European Union that, despite its governments, its armed forces and police authorities, despite its tens of thousands of professional politicians, despite all its laws and regulations, despite all the think tanks, expert tables, summits of who-knows-what and all the ideological junk, capitulates before men who swim a few hundred metres from Morocco.

The real question is therefore not how many men are crossing European borders.

Here too the bigger story is another: why are so many citizens still surprised by the impotence of governments, when this impotence now seems to constitute a way of governing? What many take for administrative incapacity looks rather like a civilisational choice. We continue to talk of “sovereignty” while we have progressively replaced the government of peoples with the administration of flows.

Western Jews have understood it and have already packed their bags.

More than the victory of those who knock at Europe’s doors, the drama lies in the profound doubt of those Europeans who no longer know why these doors still exist.

White British Students Set to Become a Minority in UK Schools Within 10 Years, MP Warns

Medforth AI

An analysis of public data conducted by a Member of Parliament has found that White British students are set to become a minority in UK classrooms within a decade.

Neil O’Brien, the Conservative MP for Harborough, Oadby and Wigston and Shadow Minister for Policy Renewal and Development, has noted that the impacts of decades of mass migration into Britain are set to have significant impacts on the demographic makeup of the country, and are likely to accelerate.

The lawmaker revealed his findings in an extended essay post analysing public data on jobs, births, and schools, in a bid to fill in understanding gaps that grow during the decade-long interim between national censuses and inform the debate in a country where compared to some European nations, government data on immigration and demographics can be poor.

According to O’Brien, Department of Education data shows that 2026 became the first year on record in which White British students represented fewer than 60 per cent of all pupils in UK state-funded secondary schools for the first time in history at just 59.4 per cent.

Extrapolating the trend lines, O’Brien’s model predicted that by the year 2036, White British students would become a minority in their own schools.

The MP noted that the rapid pace of change means that students who are starting their education this year will still be in school as foreigners overtake them as the majority.

This could have potentially dire consequences for such students, given that White working class students are already the most systematically disadvantaged of any group in the country.

Much of this transformation has been a result of decisions made by both Westminster establishment parties since the turn of the century, commencing in earnest under the Tony Blair government.

However, while the process began under Labour, the mass influx of foreigners hit its zenith under the supposedly Conservative government, as a result of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson drastically reducing restrictions on non-EU migrants rather than delivering on the promises of Brexit and multiple Tory election manifestos to cut migration to the tens of thousands.

Instead, Johnson’s post-Brexit migration reforms — which critically did not include an annual cap — saw net migration peak at 944,000 and a gross of around 1.47 million in 2023. Between 2021 and 2025, some 5.6 million people migrated to the United Kingdom.

Concerningly, O’Brien noted that the figures from the Department of Education did not appear to be impacted by the record breaking Boriswave following Brexit, with the MP suggesting that it is perhaps because the large number of recent arrivals may not have children of school age yet, meaning that his projections of White Britons becoming a minority in schools within a decade may be too optimistic.

The demographic transformation of the country is not merely a result of the annual influx of foreigners, however, but also as a result of differing birth rates between the native population and the migrant groups living in the country.

Indeed, according to the latest census, mothers born in Britain (of any ethnicity) had a total fertility rate (TFR) of 1.54 children, compared to a TFR of 2.03 children per non-UK-born women, meaning that migrant groups are at near replacement rate, while the local population is in demographic decline.

According to a report last year from Professor Matt Goodwin, such factors will contribute to White British people becoming a minority in the UK by 2063 and reduced to one fifth of the population by the end of the century.

Guardia Civil confirms 15 rapes in Ceuta and detains man wanted by Interpol

Medforth AI

Spain’s Guardia Civil has confirmed 15 rapes in Ceuta since tens of thousands of people crossed illegally into the Spanish city in North Africa on July 30. Force sources told El Mundo the most recent case came on the night of August 14, when three men were caught trying to sexually assault a 10-year-old girl.

Officers also detained a man with a criminal record for terrorism and other offences during reinforced checks at the border. An international arrest warrant had been issued for him through Interpol and he is being held in Ceuta while his possible extradition is processed.

The scale of the sexual violence is disputed within the Spanish Government. Spanish health minister Mónica García said the city’s 24-hour crisis centre for women had treated five people.

Police sources told El Español they were aware of 15 complaints and two arrests. The National Police had registered six complaints lodged by minors by August 11, the force confirmed to the fact-checking site Maldita.es.

Courts in the city have remanded nine migrants who arrived on July 30 in custody and ordered two others expelled, the Andalusian High Court of Justice said. The offences range from sexual assault and burglary to attacking officers and drug dealing.

Three of those cases are sexual assaults, in every instance against migrant women who had crossed on the same day. Two of the victims were minors, one of them raped.

Spanish interior minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska has ordered officials to seek immediate judicial expulsion for any migrant who commits an offence in the city. He put the number who entered from July 30 at 72,000, of whom 70,000 went back within days.

The Guardia Civil has separately identified about 1,800 unaccompanied minors and fitted them with identification bracelets. Some 1,500 officers are deployed alongside troops, and agents counted 1,500 voluntary returns to Morocco in the week to August 15.

Reuters reported that at least 96 people died attempting the crossing. Between 5,000 and 8,000 migrants are estimated to remain, most sleeping on El Trampolín beach or on the outskirts of a city of 80,000 people.

Hundreds demonstrated there on August 16 demanding asylum rather than return to Morocco. The head of Ceuta’s medical board, Enrique Roviralta, told Onda Cero radio that stab wounds and broken noses were among a rising number of violence-related injuries, alongside outbreaks of scabies and infectious diarrhoea.

Moroccan police arrested at least 111 people on August 15 as they tried to reach Ceuta after online calls for a second mass crossing. The European Commission is weighing additional funding for Spain after receiving a first needs assessment from Madrid.

‘Most dangerous man in Germany’ – Local mayor threatens to fire firefighters for posing with AfD politician

Screenshot youtube

A casual snapshot with a prominent Alternative for Germany (AfD) politician has ignited a massive political firestorm in a small German town, leaving four volunteer firefighters facing potential expulsion from service.

The controversy centers on the market square of Egeln – a town of 3,000 residents in Saxony-Anhalt – where local volunteers chose to pose for a photograph with AfD lead candidate, Ulrich Siegmund.

For those readers unfamiliar with Siegmund, he is arguably public enemy number one in the country at the moment. With upcoming state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, much is at stake, with Siegmund’s AfD party is close to capturing an absolute majority of the vote. Due to the popularity of Siegmund in the state, Spiegel Magazine has now famously released a cover featuring the AfD politician while labeling him the “most dangerous man in Germany.” In the article, which describes Siegmund as good looking, polished, and excellent at connecting with voters, his photo is presented as if it were a police mugshot.

The magazine article comes almost at the same time as the incident with the firefighters, which was captured on video last week by “Weichreite TV.” According to the video footage, an active fire truck pulled up near an AfD information booth. The crew, still wearing portions of their official fire department uniforms, approached the politician.

The interaction began cordially, with Siegmund greeting the emergency responders warmly. Shaking their hands, the politician remarked, “Boys, call it a day, you deserve it. Thank you for your efforts.” Seeking to connect further, Siegmund later asked, “Is there anything else I can do for you?”

One of the volunteers responded, “We just wanted to take a look, we wanted to meet in person.”

The group then gathered in front of their department vehicle to take a commemorative photo with the AfD candidate.

Egeln’s long-standing mayor, Michael Stöhr, reacted with fury. The fact that Siegmund’s party is polling at 43 percent, which means nearly half of all voters support him, did not stop the enraged mayor from threatened to fire volunteer firefighters – a move that could leave his community vulnerable during peak wildfire season.

In a detailed, sharply worded Facebook statement, the independent politician expressed that he was “stunned” by the crew’s actions, arguing that their conduct inflicted “enormous damage” on the reputation of the volunteer fire service.

“As mayor of the municipality and head of the volunteer fire department, I expressly clarify that such behavior by members of our volunteer fire department in the line of duty cannot be tolerated,” Stöhr wrote. He further announced his intention to “evaluate the action internally and of course draw appropriate consequences.”

He even implied that taking a photograph with one politician could mean their political alignment could compromise their impartiality during emergency operations. Thus, he is implying these firefighters may refuse to put out a fire simply because they posed with an AfD politician.

“Our population must be able to rely on our fire department to provide assistance in an emergency, regardless of political opinion, religion, or origin. Should this be even remotely questioned by members of the volunteer fire department, then they have no business being in the fire department anymore.” Stöhr claimed.

Concluding his public statement, Stöhr stated that he could only “therefore, explicitly apologize to all volunteer helpers in the fire departments,” while stating “that something like this will not happen again in our local fire brigades of the Egelner Mulde municipality.”

Mayor’s reaction is slammed on social media

The mayor’s strict disciplinary stance has triggered an intense wave of public criticism. Rather than garnering widespread community support, the Facebook post quickly became a lightning rod for controversy, accumulating nearly 8,500 comments.

The vast majority of online users expressed deep shock over how the volunteer first responders were being publicly treated by local leadership. In the wake of the uproar, several commentators have begun demanding the resignation of Mayor Stöhr, who has held his office for 16 years.

In the UK, a new benefit for illegal migrants bruited: Free brothels

by Monica Showalter 

As if Britain’s taxpayers haven’t already paid for migrants’ every need in spades, a new proposal is emerging for illegal border crossers, who are mostly military aged young men: Brothels.

According to The Times:

The former Conservative minister Edwina Currie has defended her suggestion that there should be “a brothel” in an Oxfordshire village set to host 1,200 asylum seekers.

The former health minister was asked on Times Radio recently for her opinion on whether it’s right that affluent areas and rural areas should take their fair share of migrants.

As part of her response, Currie said: “The obvious thing that 1,200 young men are going to need in a village like little Piddington is a brothel. I don’t think they’re going to provide that. I have a feeling that is not going to be allowed.”

Rather than address the problem of mass migration to peaceful English villages, and putting a stop to it, or the problem of migrants raping local girls and women, this worthless pol proposes more expensive goodies for already ungrateful migrants, appeasing them more, to feed their appetites. 

Who incidentally already have a lot to answer for, given the mass rapes by migrants in cities such as Rotherham.

The idea is bad because the free stuff will only incentivize more illegal migration as word gets around that the U.K. state will pay for free sex for the migrants.

Why are these people there at all, given their immoral values and their propensity to commit crimes against their host country? At some point the migrants are going to be demanding too much and get too expensive.

Why not just throw them out? When is enough enough?
