Woke Church of England Archbishop Resigns Amid Child Sex Abuse Scandal.

A former Archbishop of Canterbury has resigned following allegations that he mishandled a sex abuse case involving an Anglican priest. George Carey, former Archbishop of Canterbury and spiritual head of the Church of England (CofE) from 1991 to 2002, stepped down following a BBC investigation that revealed he permitted a previously banned priest to resume his ministry.

His resignation letter, dated December 4, emphasized his lengthy service—beginning in 1962—and his approaching 90th birthday but did not address the specifics of the investigation. Reports state that Carey facilitated the reappointment of cleric David Tudor in 1994, five years after Tudor had been barred due to accusations of assaulting teenage girls.

The investigation suggested that Carey supported Tudor’s employment in a diocese, raising questions about his decision-making during his tenure.

Carey’s decision to resign coincides with pressure on Stephen Cottrell, who is scheduled to become the Church of England’s temporary figurehead. Cottrell, currently the Archbishop of York, allegedly allowed Tudor to continue in his position despite being aware of restrictions that prohibited Tudor from being alone with children. Additionally, Tudor had previously settled a compensation claim with one of his accusers.

In October, Tudor was permanently banned from the ministry after admitting to sexual involvement with two teenage girls in the 1980s, aged 15 and 16.

Carey’s resignation comes just weeks after Justin Welby resigned as Archbishop of Canterbury amid allegations that he covered up child sex abuse cases for a decade. A report claimed that Welby, a frequent World Economic Forum (WEF) attendee, declined to pursue a proper investigation despite knowing of the abuse since 2013.

Welby presided over a shift toward woke attitudes in the Anglican mother church, going as far as demanding “serious consequences” for anti-trans comments and giving tacit approval to homosexual activity.

‘One More Chance to Save the West’ – Farage Holds ‘Historic Meeting’ with Elon Musk at Mar-a-Lago.

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage and party treasurer Nick Candy met with tech mogul Elon Musk at President-elect Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday, December 16. “We had a great meeting with Elon Musk for an hour yesterday. We learned a great deal about the Trump ground game and will have ongoing discussions on other areas,” the pair said in a statement.

Farage is a longtime ally of President-elect Trump, having campaigned for him during his first run for the presidency in 2016. Trump, in turn, was one of the few international leaders to lend his weight to Farage’s efforts to secure Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU) the same year.

“We only have one more chance left to save the West and we can do great things together. Our thanks also to President Trump for allowing us to use Mar-A-Lago for this historic meeting. The special relationship is alive and well,” Farage and Candy, previously a major donor to the notionally center-right Conservative Party, said of the meeting.

Musk, who is of partly British descent, has clashed frequently with Britain’s far-left prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, accusing him of presiding over a system of “two-tier” justice. He is rumored to be considering finding a way to support Farage’s efforts to supplant Starmer’s Labour Party—within the bounds of electoral finance laws—at the next British general election, which must be held no later than 2029.

Responding to a post shared by Farage of himself and Candy with Musk at Mar-a-Lago on the X platform, captioned “Britain Needs Reform,” Musk responded, “Absolutely.”

So here’s what I know about this so far: The British political establishment is FREAKING OUT, fearing Musk may inject serious cash into Farage’s Reform Party operation at a time when both the Labour and Conservative parties are struggling with popularity and fundraising; Farage’s Reform really does need cash, and whatever laws or loopholes exist that would allow a foreigner like Musk to donate into the United Kingdom are being explored for rapid closure

Brexit In Name Only: UK Dragged Into EU Court for Not Making Migration Easy Enough.

The European Union‘s unelected executive arm, the European Commission, has initiated legal action against the United Kingdom over alleged failures to adhere to ‘freedom of movement’ migration regulations following Brexit. This comes as pro-EU Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer looks to “reset” relations with the bloc, reportedly including moves to undo parts of Brexit.

The Commission has referred the United Kingdom to the Court of Justice of the European Union, citing non-compliance with the post-Brexit withdrawal agreement, particularly concerning the rights of residents to move and work in EU member states. The issue originated in May 2020 when the Commission accused Britain of impeding EU citizens and their families’ free movement rights. Despite previous communications and warnings, the Commission stated on Monday that several issues remain unresolved, particularly about workers’ rights and extended family members’ rights.

In his initial months in office, Prime Minister Starmer has prioritized a new deal with the EU. He is accused of setting up a “surrender squad” of pro-EU civil servants to negotiate with the bloc to roll back key parts of Brexit without technically re-joining the European Union.

Coinciding with the legal proceedings, it has emerged that Brussels plans to request that the British submit to certain EU laws in exchange for an improved trade agreement.

A strategy document suggests EU negotiators will demand British acceptance of the European Court of Justice’s jurisdiction as a condition for any enhanced trade deal, undermining national sovereignty. The document also emphasizes fishing rights—EU vessels have plundered the majority of fish in Britain’s territorial waters for many years—and a so-called “youth mobility scheme” allowing younger EU nationals to migrate to Britain easily.

Britain’s Economic Preference: Socialism Over Capitalism?

Polling suggests that the general public in the United Kingdom is more favorable to socialism than capitalism, although environmentalism is the most popular ideology overall. Socialism in Britain has long been linked to institutions like the National Health Service (NHS), which remains one of the most popular institutions in the country, despite major scandals.

Despite the results, broadly socialist candidates like former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn have failed to win elections.

Conservatism, which came third in the polling by YouGov, is also largely associated with the Conservative Party, which just suffered a historic loss to the Labour Party in the national election in July. However, the Conservatives, or Tories, legalized same-sex marriages and presided over the rise of woke ideology in Britain, and are not socially conservative in any meaningful, ideological sense.

Populism, often associated with the rise of Brexit leader Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, is only slightly more popular than communism among Britons. Reform, however, does not refer to itself as a “populist” party, referring to its anti-mass migration stance and other policies as “common sense.”

Reform is becoming increasingly popular in Britain, with polls showing the party ahead of Labour, which has a large majority in parliament and currently governs the country under Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

While the Tories are number one in the polls, their lead is not significantly ahead of Reform, and as many as 53 percent of Tory members support the party joining forces with Farage in either an alliance or outright merger.

Migration-Background Man Sentenced for Raping Healthcare Worker to Death.

A migration-background man has been sentenced to life in prison for raping a British healthcare worker to death as she lay unconscious on a public bench in London. Mohamed Iidow, 35, was found guilty of raping and killing National Health Service (NHS) worker Natalie Shotter when she was asleep in a London park after a night of drinking in 2021. The mother of three died of a heart attack as Iidow orally raped her several times while she lay deeply unconscious on a bench.

CCTV footage captured Iidow moving her body into different positions as he repeatedly raped her. Following the rape, Iidow drove to a gas station, where he nonchalantly bought cat food and mouthwash before going back to his home.

A jury found Iidow guilty of rape and manslaughter in October, and the court has now handed him a life sentence with a minimum term of 10 years and eight months in prison. They were not, however, told of his prior convictions for attempting to groom minors online.

Claims are circulating that Iidow is an illegal immigrant, including by anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson. However, an official press release and corporate media reports are studiously avoiding making any mention of his immigration status. The National Pulse has asked London’s Old Bailey to clarify the matter but has not received a reply as of this article’s publication.

Migrants from some countries are statistically far more likely to commit crimes than British nationals. Ministry of Justice (MOJ) figures state that Albanians, for instance, have an incarceration rate of over 232 people per 100,000. The British-born British incarceration rate stands at just 14.27 per 100,000.

Farage’s Reform Party Gains Ground, Winning Another Seat from Labour.

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party has gained another council seat from the ruling Labour Party. In a local by-election held in St Helens, Liverpool, on Thursday night, Reform candidate Victor Floyd secured victory in the Blackbrook ward, defeating Labour’s Sally Yeoman.

Since Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s election in July, Labour has experienced a series of local setbacks. Twenty-five councilors were lost across 172 local by-elections, and Labour’s vote share decreased by over eight percent. Many have expressed dissatisfaction with Labour and Prime Minister Starmer, with a petition demanding fresh elections receiving over two million signatures last month.

Reform has won six additional municipal seats since July, including a seat on the Wolverhampton council last month, which was also taken from Labour.

In other by-elections conducted on Thursday, Reform’s vote share showed significant growth, including strong performances in Barnsley and Stock, Essex, where the party placed second, with over 20 percent of the vote.

Reform policies on mass migration and other issues resonate with many voters, and some polls suggest the party could already be as popular or even more popular than the ruling Labour Party.

While Reform is progressing in the polls, some have expressed a desire to see Farage’s party either form an alliance with the Conservatives or even merge. Polling of Conservative Party members suggests that just over half of the party supports the idea.

Migrant Charged with Deadly Stabbing of Woman Working at Hotel Hosting Him.

Deng Chol Majek, an 18-year-old asylum seeker housed at the Park Inn Hotel in Walsall, England, has denied murdering Rhiannon Skye Whyte, a 27-year-old employee at the same hotel. Majek is accused of fatally stabbing Whyte at Bescot Stadium railway station on October 20, leading to her death three days later in hospital.

During his appearance via video link from His Majesty’s Prison (HMP) Manchester at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Friday, Majek denied the charges, stating, “Not guilty, I did not kill her.” Originally from South Sudan, he spoke through an Arabic interpreter. He also denied being at the crime scene or possessing a screwdriver unlawfully at the station where Whyte was killed.

Housing often unvetted asylum seekers in hotels, including thousands of illegal immigrants who pay smugglers to bring them across the English Channel from France in small boats, is contentious. The practice costs British taxpayers millions of pounds per day and often causes significant anxiety, disruption, and strain on public services in the communities where they are transplanted.

RECURRING ISSUE. 

Since the migrant crisis began in 2015, numerous serious crimes have been committed by asylum seekers residing in shelters and hotels across Europe. One of the most notorious involved Maria Ladenburger, a German teenager volunteering at a migrant shelter in Freiburg. Asylum seeker Hussein Khavari, who claimed to be an Afghan child migrant but was later identified as a 32-year-old Iranian, raped and murdered her. Court evidence revealed that Khavari had previously been sentenced to ten years in prison in Greece for pushing a woman off a cliff before he slipped away to Germany.

Maria Ladenburger’s father, an EU official, actively solicited donations for migrants in his daughter’s obituary.

Majek remains in custody. The courts have scheduled a pre-trial hearing for February 7, with a full trial expected in 2025.

China Spying

Chinese Spy Suspect was Close to a Member of Britain’s Royal Family.

The United Kingdom’s national security court has ruled to uphold a ban on re-entry for a businessman identified only as H6. The individual, described as a trusted associate of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, had appealed against this decision made by then-Home Secretary Suella Braverman. In the judgment, it was revealed that H6 represented a potential risk to national security, allegedly serving as a spy on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

H6, believed to be associated with China’s United Front Work Department, had reportedly developed a close relationship with Prince Andrew, a younger brother of King Charles III. Reports indicate that H6 was invited to the prince’s 2020 birthday celebration and authorized to speak on his behalf to investors in China.

The Special Immigration Appeals Commission upheld Braverman’s decision against H6, concerned about possible influence operations by the Chinese Communists.

The ruling revealed that several electronic devices were seized when H6 was stopped and questioned under hostile activity powers in November 2021. Materials found on these devices led to increased concerns about potential political interference. A letter on one device described H6 as near the top of a list of individuals with privileged access to Prince Andrew and indicated he could facilitate meetings with potential Chinese investors.

The Chinese embassy in the United Kingdom criticized the accusations as baseless, stating they are intended to damage China-UK relations, and urged cessation of what it termed the “China threat” narrative.

The United States has also seen a spike in concerns regarding Chinese espionage due to the Biden-Harris government’s lax stance against the communist state. The National Pulse reported in September that analysis shows little resistance to Chinese agents targeting anti-CCP dissidents in cities like New York and San Francisco.

Now Britain’s Socialized Health Service is Defending Pakistani Cousin Marriage.

Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) is running defense for Pakistani-heritage couples who marry their first cousins, suggesting it is no more dangerous than White British women having children over the age of 34. The NHS trust covering Bradford, an English city where Pakistanis account for a substantial share of the population, said in literature on birth defects: “[I]t is important to mention that just like a cousin marriage is a cultural practice in Asian/British Pakistanis heritage, resulting in increasing risk factors for congenital anomalies, so too is choosing to give birth at or after the age 34 in White British women/couples.”

The trust accuses White Britons having children later in life of “choosing lifestyles embedded in liberal values such as preferring jobs, careers, bodily fitness and individualism over giving birth before the age 34.” It does not mention how rising house prices and an increasing tax burden strain White British couples, with these pressures partly driven by mass migration and failures in migrant integration. For example, the unemployment rate for Pakistanis stands at 11.1 percent, which is more than three times higher than the 3.3 percent unemployment rate for whites.

HEALTH RISKS.

Having children after 34 does increase the risk of birth defects, with such children—born to mothers of all ethnicities—accounting for 19 percent of cases in Bradford. However, cousin marriage appears to have far higher risks, accounting for around 30 percent of birth defects, despite Pakistanis only accounting for a little over a quarter of the city’s population.

First-cousin marriage is also linked to lower IQ and higher rates of mood disorders and psychoses, negatively impacting life outcomes across a wide variety of domains. Approaching 40 percent of Pakistanis in Bradford are in these consanguineous marriages, compared to fewer than one percent of White British couples.

Nevertheless, Muslim lawmakers are defending cousin marriage in Parliament, with Iqbal Mohamed MP telling the House of Commons that “ordinary people see family intermarriage as something that is very positive overall; as something that helps to build family bonds and puts families on a more secure financial foothold” during a debate on a bill to outlaw the practice.

UK ‘Conservative’ Leader Calls Northern Nigerians Her ‘Ethnic Enemies.’

Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke ‘Kemi’ Badenoch, the new leader of Britain’s Conservative party, has said she identifies as a Yoruba tribeswoman rather than a Nigerian, going so far as to describe some in the north of her parents’ homeland as her “ethnic enemies.” Despite being born in London, the Member of Parliament (MP) and former government minister was taken to Nigeria shortly afterward and raised there. She describes herself as a “first-generation immigrant.”

“I find it interesting that everybody defines me as being Nigerian,” she said in a recent interview. “I identify less with the country than with the specific ethnicity [Yoruba]. That’s what I really am. I have nothing in common with the people from the north of the country, the Boko Haram where the Islamism is, those were our ethnic enemies, and yet you end up being lumped in with those people,” she said.

Badenoch said being Yoruba grants a “very strong identity about who you are, where you come from, traditions and so on”—sentiments that are strongly discouraged among the White British population.

The interview was peppered with other, more bizarre comments. The Conservative leader said she “strongly associated” with Danaerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones—who is eventually assassinated by her lover-nephew after massacring the population of her country’s capital. Badenoch also declared that “lunch is for wimps” and that she has an aversion to sandwiches, explaining: “I will not touch bread if it’s moist.”

She is best known in British politics for posing as an enemy of Critical Race Theory and mass migration. However, in government, she said elected officials should not try to stop civil servants from pushing woke ideology, and she lobbied for looser immigration controls.
