Britain’s Establishment Attacked Farage for Attending the RNC. Now They’re All at the DNC.

Members of Parliament (MPs) for Britain’s ruling Labour Party have flocked to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to court Kamala Harris. Unlike Nigel Farage, who was ruthlessly attacked for visiting Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention (RNC) after he was shot, they have not received similar media criticism for “abandoning” their voters.

Labour Party general secretary David Evans and several MPs, including Lucy Rigby and Mike Tapp, are part of a delegation that traveled to Chicago, allegedly to compare election strategies with the Democrats. In July, Reform Party leader Nigel Farage, the MP for Clacton-on-Sea, visited Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention (RNC), but unlike the Labour MPs at the DNC, he was blasted by British journalists for leaving the country.

For instance, Emily Maitlis, a former BBC host, questioned why Farage, a longtime ally of former President Donald J. Trump, was at the event. “At one point, you said you wouldn’t be running in Clacton because you wanted to give your time to the U.S., but now you are the new Clacton MP and are here in the U.S. just two weeks after being elected—because this feels more exciting?” she jeered.

Farage said he was there as Trump had been shot just days prior, explaining he was supporting his friend.

Corporate media and Labour supporters alike are also trying to paint the recent, sometimes violent anti-mass migration protests and counter-protests in Britain to Farage, despite him publicly condemning any violence.

Disgraced former British spy and Russia hoax dossier pusher Christopher Steele has said British spy agencies will be targeting both Farage and anti-mass migration activist Tommy Robinson following the protests.

WaPo Investigates Reporter Taylor Lorenz After Odd Instagram Post and Even Weirder Lie.

Senior editors at the Washington Post are currently reviewing a private social media post by their in-house stalker and social media pest, Taylor Lorenz. The post in question includes a caption labeling Joe Biden as a “war criminal,” accompanied by a frowny face emoticon. The photo, captured during a White House event for digital influencers, shows Biden in the background. Lorenz shared the image with a select group of friends on Instagram.

The controversy began when Jon Levine of the New York Post posted on X (formerly Twitter) about the caption on Lorenz’s Instagram post. Lorenz responded to Levine’s tweet, suggesting that the caption was a result of digital manipulation. Her reply read, “You people will fall for any dumbass edit someone makes.” A Community Note added to Levine’s tweet cited Lorenz’s denial, stating, “Taylor Lorenz says this is a digital manipulation which has added a false caption.”

Subsequently, however, several media outlets obtained screenshots of Lorenz’s private post that included the controversial caption. Additionally, these outlets contend sources with direct knowledge of the social media post confirm that it was not digitally altered in any way. The revelation that Lorenz lied about the photo being manipulated has prompted an internal review by the Jeff Bezos-owned newspaper.

A spokesman for the Washington Post stated, “Our executive editor and senior editors take alleged violations of our standards seriously. We’re aware of the alleged post and are looking into it.”

About an hour after initially sharing the photo, Lorenz removed it from her private chat and reposted the same image publicly without the caption. She later changed her story again, claiming to associates that a friend had added the caption as a joke, and she shared it with the private group on Instagram.

Church Attacked Amid Riots, Government and Media Silent on ‘Allahu Akbar’ Chants.

A statue of Mother Mary at St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church in Wembley, London, was found smashed to pieces last week amid ongoing anti-mass migration demonstrations and rival Muslim and far-left counter-demonstrations, many of which are turning violent. Meanwhile, reports indicate a riot in nearby Croydon, which police attributed to mere “anti-social behavior,” featured Muslims marching through the streets chanting “Allahu Akbar!”

A congregant at St. Joseph’s, speaking anonymously to GB News, said of the church attack: “My Dad saw the pieces of Mother Mary on the floor, and I knew there wasn’t going to be news coverage on this.”

“I wanted to push the message out that Christians are being attacked too. It’s not only about the church, it’s about the attack on Christians worldwide, everywhere. We feel fearful,” he continued, adding: “If the police actually did their job and protected all citizens, I think that would be positive.”

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, also criticized by the congregant, and the police have been accused of adopting a “two-tier” approach towards the disorder, slamming the anti-mass migration demonstrators as “far-right thugs” while largely ignoring the violence by Muslim and far-left counter-demonstrators and policing them much less aggressively.

GB News noted that in Croydon, a few miles from Wembley, police characterized a riot in which eight people were arrested for “assaulting emergency workers, possession of offensive weapons and other offenses” as “pure anti-social behavior,” offering no description of the rioters and not linking it to the protests and counter-protests at all.

However, video evidence clearly shows that the at least 50-stong mob in Croydon were chanting “Allahu Akbar!” during their rampage. They were likely motivated to turn out by reports of a “far-right” demonstration near a Croydon mosque that never materialized.

CNN’s Oliver Darcy Abruptly Quits.

Oliver Darcy, CNN’s most prominent media reporter, has resigned from the network. He announced on Thursday that he plans to launch an independent media-focused newsletter called Status. The new venture will operate on a subscription basis without external backing. “The paid readers will empower my independent voice,” Darcy told The New York Post.

Since taking over CNN’s “Reliable Sources” newsletter in 2022 following Brian Stelter’s exit, Darcy has been a major voice within the media landscape. He joined CNN in 2017 and became a leading figure in media reporting. His critiques of CNN culminated in June 2023 when he voiced concerns under then-CEO Chris Licht regarding the executive’s leadership.

CNN, owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, is undergoing a significant restructuring under new CEO Mark Thompson, who has recently announced 100 job cuts. On Wednesday, Warner Bros. Discovery reported a $10 billion net loss for the second quarter, missing Wall Street expectations and resulting in a 10 percent drop in its stock price.

In his tenure at “Reliable Sources,” Darcy made notable contributions, including uncovering MSNBC’s decision to pull “Morning Joe” following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Commenting on Darcy’s departure, Thompson acknowledged Darcy’s role as “a tough but scrupulously fair leading voice in media reporting and commentary.”

CNN confirmed that “Reliable Sources” would take a summer break and return in the fall with a new writer. In the meantime, Darcy’s “Status” will launch its first issue on Monday.

BBC Presenter Jailed for RAPING DOZENS OF DOGS.

A BBC presenter has been sentenced to ten years in prison by a court in Australia for raping, torturing, and killing dozens of dogs. Zoologist Adam Britton pleaded guilty to 56 charges of bestiality and animal cruelty last September, as well as child pornography offenses.

Britton was a senior researcher at Charles Darwin University and featured in several productions for the BBC and National Geographic. He even starred in a BBC series alongside legendary nature documentarian Sir David Attenborough.

Courts heard that Britton tortured 42 dogs and killed 39 of them in a shipping container, filming many of his crimes. Britton had a “sadistic sexual interest” in the animals and abused his own dogs and those of others who had been entrusted to his care.

“Your conduct on each of those occasions involved a degree of depravity and reprehensibility which falls entirely outside any ordinary human conception and comprehension,” the judge in the case told Britton.

THE BBC SEX CRIMES LEGACY. 

The sentencing comes just after the BBC’s top-paid news anchor Huw Edwards pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children.

Edwards was part of a depraved WhatsApp group in which images were shared from December 2020 to April 2022.

The BBC has plagued by sexual abuse scandals for decades, most infamously that of former presenter Jimmy Savile. The DJ abused children for decades while working at the broadcaster, which has been accused of covering up the abuse or at minimum turning a blind eye to it.

The BBC is funded largely by British television owners through the TV license, a de facto tax which anyone who watches live programming—even if none of it is BBC content—must pay, or else face criminal fines backed by the threat of imprisonment.

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage has called for the TV license to be scrapped and for the BBC to switch to a subscription-based funding model.

Leftist Newspaper Claims ‘Two-Tier Policing’ Does Not Exist Despite Reporting It Does for Years.

The Guardian, Britain’s premier leftist newspaper, is dismissing claims of two-tier policing with respect to mostly white anti-mass migration demonstrators versus Muslim and ethnic minority demonstrators—despite alleging there is two-tier policing based on race in its own reporting for years.

The newspaper called two-tier policing a “myth” in an article published on August 6, asserting all claims of the practice are from right-wing sources like anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson and Conservative Party leadership hopeful Robert Jenrick MP.

Users on X (formerly Twitter) noted several articles from The Guardian alleging two-tier policing based on race, with a 2023 article denouncing supposed “institutional misogyny, racism and homophobia” in London’s woke Metropolitan Police. Another Guardian report from earlier this year quotes Gavin Stephens, the chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), claiming that institutional racism in the police has led to two-tier policing against black people.

The newspaper has also claimed black people are more likely to be tasered by British police, again due to racism. It argues the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 were “qualitatively different” to the current disorder, claiming violence was “a relatively marginal feature” of BLM demonstrations despite multiple people being murdered in the United States by BLM rioters, as politicians like now-Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer bent the knee to the, along with the British police.

TWO-TIER KIER. 

Since anti-mass migration protests broke out in the wake of the killing of three young girls by the son of two Rwandan migrants, two-tier policing concerns have become a major talking point in Britain.

Many, including X owner Elon Musk, have taken to labeling Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer “Two-Tier Keir” for his eagerness to crack down on anti-mass migration protestors, creating a “standing army” of police to break them while largely ignoring armed Muslim mobs rampaging in Birmingham and elsewhere at the same time.

Birmingham police even released a statement this week admitting they largely abandoned the streets of the city as mobs attacked pubs and bystanders, including journalists, because “community leaders” told them they would be “policing within themselves.”

CNN Cites Sharia Law in Legal Defense for Afghanistan Defamation Case.

CNN is citing Taliban-imposed Sharia law in its defense against a defamation case brought by Zachary Young and his Nemex Enterprises firm. CNN is accused of implying Young, whose company offered private evacuations to Afghan women following the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris government’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, illegally “exploited” the women he evacuated.

In a November 11, 2021 segment, CNN’s Jake Tapper said, “Afghans trying to get out of the country face a black market full of promises, demands of exorbitant fees, and no guarantee of safety or success.” CNN correspondent Alex Marquardt added that “desperate Afghans are being exploited” while Young’s face was displayed on screen—prompting him to sue.

CNN is arguing that the Taliban regime had “implemented Sharia law, banning women from leaving the country,” and so “those activities [Young] orchestrated and funded, which involved moving women out of Afghanistan, almost certainly were illegal under Taliban rule.”

The network has drawn backlash for citing Sharia law to defend its characterization of Young’s actions as illegal. Still, a spokesman insists that while “Young takes issue with CNN referring to the conditions on the ground as a black market… the state of local law is a necessary part of the legal analysis.”

“Citing a terrorist regime’s most extreme, twisted, interpretation of Sharia reflects CNN’s desperation to dodge accountability. Their argument is both legally baseless and an insult to the memory of those who suffered at the Taliban’s hands. We look forward to seeing CNN in trial,” said Vel Freedman, representing Young.

CNN recently shuttered its opinion section amid ongoing layoffs and restructuring at the failing network.

UK Govt Tells Farage Deputy to Stop Sharing Footage of Muslim Mobs.

Jess Phillips, a Member of Parliament (MP) for the Labour Party and Parliamentary Under-Secretary at the Home Office–responsible for homeland security–is making excuses for Muslim mobs who harassed journalists in Birmingham on Monday and pressuring other politicians not to share footage of them.

Phillips, whose remit is “Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls,” was responding to Richard Tice MP, deputy leader of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, on X, formerly Twitter. He had shared footage of masked Muslims mobbing a Sky News crew making gun signs, forcing their female reporter off-air.

“[Prime Minister Sir Keir] Starmer and Labour no doubt think these pro-Gaza masked folk are far-right too,” commented Tice, in reference to Starmer’s efforts to blame all of the violence currently engulfing Britain on “far-right thugs.”

“Two-tier policing must stop,” Tice added.

Phillips defended the Muslim mob, claiming they “came to this location because it ha[d] been spread that racists were coming to attack them.”

“This misinformation was spread entirely to create this content. Don’t spread it MR Tice!” she demanded, apparently in an effort to suppress footage of Muslim mobs engaging in criminal actions.

Previously, the chief correspondent for state-owned Channel 4 News deleted footage of Muslim mobs attacking “lone white individuals” in the town of Middlesbrough without explanation.

GROWING DISORDER. 

In another incident in Birmingham, which Phillips represents in Parliament, Sky News filmed a Muslim man repeatedly stabbing the wheels of their van. An LBC journalist also described being driven from the area he was covering “for miles,” with Muslims pursuing him with weapons and circling him in cars.

The LBC reporter noted the apparent lack of any meaningful police presence. In contrast, police have aggressively confronted alleged “far-right” protestors wherever they have appeared, striking them with batons and setting dogs on them.

Prime Minister Starmer denies there is two-tier policing in relation to the protests and counter-protests sparked by the mass stabbing of multiple young girls by the son of two Rwandan migrants.

Armed Muslims Take Over England’s Second City, Chase Out Journalists.

Mobs of armed Muslims, many waving Palestinian flags, took over swathes of Birmingham, England’s second city, on Monday, and pursued journalists from the areas under their control “for miles.”

Fraser Knight, a reporter for LBC, described how he was “chased out of an area of east Birmingham by groups of Asian men who had come out to ‘protect their community’ against a planned far-right demonstration” in a post on X (formerly Twitter), referring to men of South Asian rather than Far Eastern heritage.

“The security guard with me decided immediately it wasn’t safe for us—it was clear we weren’t welcome—but there wasn’t a safe place for us to go for miles,” he continued, noting how cars followed them and that “at one point a group of around six men ran after us down a road with what looked like a weapon.”

“We were forced to run,” he added.

In a longer article on his experience, Knight questioned the “lack of a police presence.”

“In the 40 minutes we were there, we saw perhaps two or three police cars driving past,” he said. “There were no officers on the streets that we walked. There were no vans on standby nearby that I could see. It felt like it was them against us—and there were a lot more of them.”

TWO-TIER KEIR.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is accused of presiding over a two-tier policing regime amid the current riotous protests overtaking Britain, sparked by the deadly mass stabbing of multiple young girls by the teenage son of two African migrants in Southport.

Starmer denies the charge, as does the nation’s top police officer, Sir Mark Rowley, who went so far as to rip a microphone from a journalist’s hand and throw it on the ground—a criminal offense—when he was asked a question about two-tier policing.

The scenes in Birmingham only strengthen the accusations of a two-tier system for the “far right” and ethnic minorities, however. Almost everywhere they have gone, anti-mass migration protestors have been confronted aggressively by police in full riot gear. On the other hand, Muslim counter-demonstrators have been met by police liaison officers politely requesting that they deposit any weapons they are carrying unlawfully at nearby mosques.

In addition to Knight’s issues in Birmingham, a broadcast by Comcast’s Sky News in the city was terminated after a mob of masked Muslims shouting “Free Palestine!” and making gun signs descended on them.

In a later incident, a Sky News crew filmed a Muslim with a knife stabbing the wheels of their van.

News Network Forced to Abandon Broadcast by Masked Muslims Making Gun Signs.

Comcast‘s Sky News were forced to abandon a live broadcast amid riotous protests in Britain by a mob of masked men shouting “Free Palestine!” and “F**k the EDL!” in reference to the long-defunct English Defence League. Protests, several of which have devolved into rioting, have gripped the country since the deadly mass stabbing of multiple young girls, their teachers, and a man in his sixties who tried to help at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, England.

The suspect in the case has been named as Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, the Wales-born son of two Rwandan migrants. Some have focused on hotels hosting illegal aliens and mosques as the demonstrations morph into a broader protest against mass migration and its consequences.

Muslim counter-demonstrators are also on the streets, however, occasionally attacking white people in scenes the corporate and state-owned media are attempting to suppress. One such group of counter-demonstrators interrupted a Sky News broadcast from Birmingham, England, with South Asian heritage men in hoods and masks approaching the cameras and making gun-firing hand gestures.

Labour’s Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is blaming all of the violence on “far-right thugs,” denying there is any “two-tier policing” of rioters depending on their ethnic and religious background while vowing to provide mosques with special protections that are not being extended to children’s dance classes.

His party is helping to inflame the situation, however, with Labour Member of Parliament Josh Fenton-Glyn spreading false claims that the “far right” threw acid in the face of a Muslim woman in Middlesbrough.
