Pride Group Founder Defends Child Rape Messages as ‘Fantasy.’

The founder of an LGBT Pride Group in Britain is facing dozens of criminal charges linked to online messages in which he and another man spoke of kidnapping and raping children. Stephen Ireland, co-founder of Pride in Surrey, and David Sutton, a volunteer with the same organization, are accused of 38 offenses. These include conspiring to sexually assault children, planning child sex offenses, and kidnapping.

Defense attorney Alex Krikler presented Ireland’s explanation regarding WhatsApp messages from 2022, allegedly including discussions of “snatching” or “kidnapping” a schoolchild, which Ireland described as “fantasy taboo chat.” The prosecutor argued the conversations went beyond hypothetical scenarios. Both men allegedly plotted to target children outside school facilities while pretending to be talent scouts or music managers.

Ireland told jurors that his visits to schools were conducted in a “professional” manner, intended solely for educating students about the LGBT community. Additionally, Ireland addressed accusations regarding a supposed visit to a swimming pool with illicit motives. He labeled the conversation as “role-play,” disputing any real intent.

Ireland is specifically charged with 21 offenses, including one count of child rape, three counts of enticing a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, and one count of sexual assault. Together with Sutton, the pair face 13 joint charges, encompassing conspiracy and solicitation of child sexual offenses. Sutton also faces four further charges involving the creation of indecent photographs of children.

The Pride organizer was active on social media until last year, railing against the “TERF [Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist] regime” and denouncing skeptics of transgenderism as “non-inclusive, anti trans, dangerous & highly damaging [to] the lives and wellbeing of incredibly brave people, all of which should have the right to be, who they truly are!”

The case is just the latest involving LGBT advocates accused of child sex crimes. Late last year, the head of a Canadian Pride organization was also arrested on child sex abuse and pornography charges.

Britain’s Leftist Government Removes Portraits of Churchill, Wellington.

Britain’s left-wing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has removed several portraits of the country’s iconic former wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill in Parliament, along with other British heroes. Around five portraits of Churchill were removed from the walls in several areas of the parliamentary estate, including a picture of the former permier standing next to the Cenotaph, Britain’s main national war memorial, in 1945.

Alongside Churchill, the Labour government has also removed portraits of Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, another former prime minister and noted for defeating Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo.

The portraits were removed following Labour’s election victory last year, which saw the party regain power from the Conservatives after 14 years in opposition.

Prime Minister Starmer has also removed portraits from Number 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the Prime Minister, including a portrait of the late Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

President Donald J. Trump, meanwhile, returned a bust of Winston Churchill to the Oval Office in the White House shortly after his inauguration last month. The bust had been initially removed by President Barack Obama, returned by Trump in 2016, and then removed again by President Joe Biden.

Winston Churchill has become a maligned figure among leftists, with some accusing him of racism. Despite this, he remains the most popular Prime Minister of all time in public polling.

EXC: VP Vance *WILL* Raise Free Speech Issues with UK Govt During Official Visit Next Week.

Vice President J.D. Vance told Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, that he will reiterate the Trump administration’s commitment to freedom of speech when Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer visits the U.S. next week. This follows Vice President Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, in which he warned against the erosion of free speech in Europe, and the subsequent imprisonment of a British man for sending emails intended to “insult and offend” London Mayor Sadiq Khan and government minister Jess Phillips, from Starmer’s Labour Party.

Asked by Kassam if he planned to reiterate his comments t Starmer and his team next week in person, Vance responded, “We certainly will,” adding, “[T]his is not hard, Raheem. We’re simply telling them to respect the values on which our civilization was founded, that you ought to debate with one another, you ought to, you know, your government should respect when the people have a dissenting viewpoint. It’s very simple, and it’s very obvious.”

“And I think that, when we talk about shared values, I think one of the most important shared values is that we, again, ought to listen to our people and not try to throw them in prison when they disagree with what the government’s doing,” he stressed.

Vance said the strong, adverse reaction to his Munich speech “from some of our European friends” indicates that “frankly, they’ve taken too much leadership from the Biden administration” and “leaned too much into the censorship regime.”

Earlier in his interview with Kassam, the Vice President highlighted that the purpose of his speech in Munich was not to “wag my finger at Europe and say, ‘You guys have become too censorious,'” but to note that the U.S. and its transatlantic partners together had developed a censorship problem, led by the Biden-Harris government.

“[A]s I said in Europe, President Trump is going to take a much different view on this stuff,” Vance emphasized.

UK Jails Man for Emails ‘Insulting and Offending’ Sadiq Khan, Jess Phillips.

A British judge has sentenced a man to 28 weeks in prison for sending “hateful” emails intended to “disparage, insult, and offend” London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan, government minister Jess Phillips, and Matt Twist, Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. Jack Bennett, 38, was convicted of four counts of sending malicious communications and one of using a public communication network to send offensive emails.

District Judge Stuart Smith railed that Bennett’s emails were “Saturated in hate and intolerance and shamelessly racist and offensive,” revealing “the real disdain [Bennett] held for ethnic minorities, targeting especially Muslims and immigrants in your abusive tirades.” The judge seemed particularly upset by Bennett having “purposely sought to disparage, insult and offend [Sadiq Khan] based on his ethnicity and Asian heritage.”

Bennett was imprisoned for his non-violent speech crimes despite pleading guilty and acknowledging “he was wrong.” Meanwhile, around eight in ten pedophiles convicted for downloading and distributing images and videos of child sexual abuse in the United Kingdom receive non-custodial or suspended sentences.

Bennett had been motivated to send his emails by the “perceived” incompetence of the authorities in tackling Muslim rape gangs, which preyed on primarily white, working-class girls in Britain virtually unchecked for decades. Mayor Khan recently pretended not to know what “grooming gangs,” as the rape gangs are commonly known, even are, while Jess Phillips blocked a government-led inquiry into gangs in the town of Oldham.

Bennett’s imprisonment comes shortly after U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance publicly lamented the erosion of free speech in Europe at the Munich Security Conference, singling out the United Kingdom as a particularly bad example.

WATCH: Knifeman and Passing Deliveryman Attack Protestor Burning Koran in London.

A protestor burning a Koran near the Turkish consulate in London, England, was attacked by a knife-wielding Muslim on Thursday. A passing cyclist working for Deliveroo, an Uber Eats-like food delivery service, also paused to kick the protestor while he was on the ground.

The incident follows the assassination of Salwan Momika in the middle of a livestream in Sweden. Momika, originally from Iraq, had been hoping to claim asylum in the U.S., as the authorities were prosecuting him for incitement against an ethnic group for his own Koran-burning protest.

Video of the incident in London shows a white-haired man with a foreign accent rushing the Koran-burning protestor, slashing and stabbing at him with a knife. The protestor falls to the ground as he flees, and the knifeman begins kicking, slashing, and spitting at him, shouting, “That’s my religion; you don’t burn Koran!” A Deliveroo cyclist watching the scene also delivers a kick to the protestor, seemingly opportunistically, while he is on the ground.

A man claiming to be the protestor wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that he burned the Koran to “protest the Islamist government of [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, who has made Turkey a base for radical Islamists and is trying to establish a sharia regime.”

London’s Metropolitan Police have confirmed they arrested “a man” following an “assault in Knightsbridge.”

“The victim was taken to hospital with injuries to his finger. He did not receive any stab wounds. Officers attended within minutes and arrested a man on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and grievous bodily harm,” they state.

Christian School Worker Wins Appeal After Firing for Criticism of ‘The LGBT Crowd.’

A Christian former school employee in Gloucestershire, England, has successfully appealed her dismissal over social media posts criticizing LGBT relationship teaching. In a recent judgment, a panel comprised of Lord Justice Underhill, Lord Justice Bean, and Lady Justice Falk ruled in favor of Kristie Higgs, who was terminated from Farmor’s School in 2019. Higgs had shared posts on social media expressing concerns over the ‘No Outsiders In Our School’ program, which educates primary school students on the Equality Act. Her comments included references to “brainwashing our children” regarding the teaching’s focus on gender fluidity and same-sex marriage.

Higgs was initially dismissed for gross misconduct following an anonymous complaint suggesting her views could harm the school’s reputation. However, the latest court ruling found an initial decision to remand the case to an employment tribunal was “unlawfully discriminatory.”

“In the present case the claimant, who was employed in a secondary school, had posted messages, mostly quoted from other sources, objecting to Government policy on sex education in primary schools because of its promotion of ‘gender fluidity’ and its equation of same-sex marriage with marriage between a man and a woman,” noted Lord Justice Underhill.

“It was not in dispute… that the claimant’s beliefs that gender is binary and that same-sex marriage cannot be equated with marriage between a man and a woman are protected by the Equality Act,” he added.

He described how the school had justified Higgs’s firing “on the basis that the posts in question were intemperately expressed and included insulting references to the promoters of gender fluidity and ‘the LGBT crowd,'” but said this was not sufficient cause, given there was no evidence she had expressed her beliefs at school or discriminated against any of her students.

The ruling comes as President Donald J. Trump is instructing Attorney General Pam Bondi to root out “anti-Christian bias” in the U.S.

Vance Joined by UK in Snubbing Summit Declaration on ‘Inclusive’ AI.

Vice President J.D. Vance won the support of the British government when declining to sign a leaders’ declaration on “inclusive” artificial intelligence (AI) following a high-level AI summit in Paris. This followed Vance speaking out against EU digital regulations that could stifle a new “industrial revolution.” Notably, industry giants like Sam Altman’s OpenAI also stayed out of the agreement.

The summit, held at the Grand Palais, saw 61 signatories—including China, France, Germany, and India—agreeing on the importance of making AI “open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe, secure, and trustworthy.” The statement also emphasized so-called human rights, gender equality, and linguistic diversity.

When asked why the U.S. and the United Kingdom refused to sign, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s spokesman stated, “We’ll only ever sign up to initiatives that are in the UK’s national interests.”

In his speech, Vance urged international partners to avoid deals with “authoritarian regimes,” such as China, asserting that AI must remain free from ideological bias. He emphasized, “American AI will not be co-opted into a tool for authoritarian censorship.”

Targeting the European Union (EU), Vance warned that excessive AI regulation could stifle a transformative industry. He also criticized the EU’s Digital Service Act, particularly its overregulation of speech and so-called misinformation.

“The massive regulations it created about taking down content and policing so-called misinformation. It is one thing to prevent a predator from preying on a child on the Internet, and it is something quite different to prevent a grown man or woman from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation,” he argued.

Tractors Clog Streets as Farage-Backed Farmers Descend on London to Protest Death Tax.

The streets around the British government’s administrative center in Whitehall, London, filled with hundreds of tractors on Monday as farmers protested the far-left Labour government’s imposition of crippling death taxes. The farmers are supported by Nigel Farage, leader of the populist Reform Party, which has overtaken Labour in national polling after previously leapfrogging the formerly governing Conservatives (Tories).

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s changes to so-called inheritance taxes will drive many family farms, already grappling with thin margins, out of business altogether. Farage, attending the protests with British boxer Derek Chisora, expressed hope that “if this [protest] campaign is persistent and peaceful, [farmers] can get change.”

Labour claims the tax rise is necessary to ameliorate fiscal pressures. However, critics point out that the estimated £230 million (~$288m) that inheritance tax and Business Tax Relief changes will raise from 2026-27 is dwarfed by the many billions of pounds earmarked for foreign aid, migrant hotels, and payments to Mauritius as part of a plot to transfer sovereignty over the British Indian Ocean Territory to the Chinese ally. In late 2024, it was revealed that around £500m had been distributed to foreign farmers as a form of development assistance.

CLASS WARFARE.

Suspicions that the targeting of farmers is a kind of class warfare by the leftist government intensified when John McTernan, a party grandee and former political secretary to Tony Blair, said the country “doesn’t need small farmers,” and implied running them out of business was revenge for Margaret Thatcher closing down state-owned mines.

Alan Hughes, a farmer speaking at today’s protests, warned: “Labour do not want farmers. They want large corporations to produce food, because they know those that control the food we eat, control the nation.”

Farmer protests are also widespread in Continental Europe, where farms are being targeted by net zero climate regulations. Many protesters believe globalist governments in Western Europe are trying to run farmers out of business in large part so they can build housing on their land for the millions of migrants they have imported in recent years.

Britain’s Left-Wing Govt is Now Posting Deportation Videos.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour government is releasing videos of immigration enforcement raids against businesses employing illegal workers as Nigel Farage’s anti-mass migration Reform Party surges past them in the polls. The raids, targeting businesses including Indian restaurants, nail bars, and carwashes, appear calculated to make Labour appear firmer on illegal immigration.

While Starmer pledged he would “smash the gangs” orchestrating illegal immigration, mainly via small boats, it has increased in the months since he assumed office in July. One of his first acts as Prime Minister was to scrap a long-delayed Conservative plan, prepared at a cost of many millions of pounds, to disincentivize illegal immigration by transferring migrants to Rwanda as a “third safe country.” A similar policy proved highly successful in Australia, and President Donald J. Trump appears to be pursuing a similar policy in the U.S., striking an agreement with Guatemala on taking deportees and with El Salvador on incarcerating criminal aliens—and potentially some U.S. citizens.

Some in Labour are unhappy with Starmer’s efforts to appear at least to be taking action on illegal immigration, with Diane Abbott MP complaining about the party becoming “Reform-lite.”

“The Labour Party can never outdo Reform on anti-immigrant rhetoric, and should not even try. All that happens is that we give legitimacy to the Reform narrative,” she wrote for leftist ex-newspaper The Independent.

Farage believes Labour’s raid videos are evidence Labour is “terrified” of Reform’s poll surge.

UK Health Secretary Admits Healthcare DEI Programs Promote ‘Anti-Whiteness.’

Britain’s far-left Labour government has admitted that DEI policies in the National Health Service (NHS) have an anti-white bias. Health Secretary Wes Streeting acknowledged that some diversity measures within the (NHS) have been counterproductive.

Streeting pointed to instances where actions taken in the name of equality, diversity, and inclusion were misdirected. He highlighted a case where an NHS staff member shared a job advertisement online, describing part of the role as involving “anti-whiteness.” Streeting questioned how such language might be perceived by the public, particularly those experiencing significant health inequalities linked to socio-economic status.

The Health Secretary indirectly referred to Dr. Florencia Gysbertha, an East London NHS psychologist, who last year circulated an advertisement for a trainee position emphasizing “anti-whiteness/anti-racist praxis.”

The NHS has faced previous criticism over issues of alleged anti-white sentiment. In 2021, the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, a leading purveyor or child gender transitions, hosted a seminar addressing “Whiteness – A problem for our time,” drawing international attention.

Further controversies arose when NHS emergency services were reported to prioritize asylum seekers and migrants over native Britons. Some migrants were able to jump healthcare lines while natives waited years for treatment.

Additionally, the NHS has been criticized for lowering entry standards for foreign nurses to address staffing shortages. Recently, it was revealed that 35 diversity roles, with salaries exceeding $99,500, have been advertised since July 2024 under the leftist Labour government.
