Apple, Google Block Access to Tommy Robinson’s Telegram Channel.

Anti-grooming gangs activist turned citizen journalist Tommy Robinson reports his Telegram channel can no longer be accessed via Apple and Android phones because Apple and Google have taken steps to block users’ access to it. The National Pulse has independently confirmed his complaints.

“If you’re trying to access my Telegram channel and you can’t, it’s because the censorship continues,” he said in a post on Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter).

“Apple… and also Google Play, Android, whatever,” have blocked access to the channel, Robinson continued, explaining: “Telegram haven’t banned me, but the mobile phone companies and providers have.”

“We’re obviously doing something right,” Robinson suggested, adding, “if it wasn’t for  Elon Musk we’d be totally erased again now.”

He urged the South African tech entrepreneur to “bring out his own mobile phone, so we can get away from iPhones, so we can get away from their censorship, Google, all of them.”

Musk does partly censor Robinson, however. It is impossible to embed Robinson’s posts on outside sites — including The National Pulse.

Robinson said people who want to view his Telegram channel can still do so by downloading the Telegram desktop app directly from Telegram.

Every National Leader in Great Britain is Now an Ethnic Minority.

Vaughan Gething, a Zambia-born biracial man who identifies as black, has been selected as the new First Minister of Wales, meaning every national leader in Great Britain is now an ethnic minority.

Gething, of the left-wing Labour party, will lead the Welsh government — roughly equivalent to a U.S. state government — following a narrow victory in internal party elections.

Humza Yousaf, of the left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP), became First Minister of Scotland in 2023. Rishi Sunak, as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has been the de facto First Minister of England, which lacks a devolved government of its own, since he assumed office in 2022. Like Gething, their respective parties installed them in high office between national elections.

Across the wider British Isles, First Minister of Northern Ireland Michelle O’Neill is the only remaining white national leader. However, she is unusual in that she is the first Irish nationalist politician to hold the office, hailing from the IRA-linked Sinn Féin party.

The Republic of Ireland is led by Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar, who is the biracial son of an Indian immigrant, as well as the country’s first homosexual head of government.

Mother of Dead Briton Who Fought in Ukraine Blames Ex PM Liz Truss: ‘Blood on Her Hands.’

The mother of a British man who committed suicide after fighting in Ukraine says former Prime Minister Liz Truss has “blood on her hands.”

Then 23-year-old Harry Gregg volunteered for Volodymyr Zelensky’s army after former prime minister Liz Truss said she “absolutely” supported people traveling to Ukraine to fight. Shortly after the Russian intervention in February 2022, then-Foreign Secretary Truss said Zelensky’s forces were “fighting for freedom and democracy, not just for Ukraine but for the whole of Europe,” adding that “absolutely, if people want to support that struggle, I would support them in doing that.”

Gregg’s mother, Sandi Gregg, claims Truss’s statement drove her son to join the Ukrainian forces. “He suffered from ADHD and was very impetuous. He phoned me the day after Liz had said that and told me ‘Mum, I’m going to Ukraine,’” Gregg told The Daily Mail, adding: “He couldn’t be talked down from it. To all intents and purposes he had no military experience whatsoever. Liz Truss has blood on her hands.”

An inquest heard Gregg had a harrowing experience in the trenches and suffered from PTSD after returning home. He hanged himself the day after he turned 25.

This week, the Russian Defense Ministry said its forces killed approximately 6,000 foreign fighters in Ukraine since the war began. Warmongering rhetoric from anti-Russian globalists like Truss doubtless inspired many of them to join up.

London’s Sadiq Khan: ‘I Could Lose’ Re-Election Because of UK’s New Voter ID Requirements.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has expressed concern that new voter identification regulations could potentially hinder his re-election chances. Writing for the Russian oligarch-owned ‘Independent‘, Khan begins: “I am under no illusion: I could lose,” before explaining: “Many people don’t realise yet that the Tory government has changed the voting system to make it much more likely that their candidate will win.”

Britain introduced voter ID requirements for the first time in 2022, which the far-left Labour Party bemoaned as a “blatant attempt to rig democracy in favour of the Conservative Party.”

“New rules making it compulsory to have an approved form of ID – a deliberate attempt to reduce turnout – also puts the election on a knife-edge,” Khan wrote in a statement for the Independent. “Analysis shows more than 900,000 Londoners – likely to include large numbers of young people and those from minority communities – might not have valid ID and will thus be barred from exercising their democratic right to vote,” he continued.

Khan criticized his rival, Susan Hall, for her “hard Brexit” stance and for opposing his initiatives on air quality and climate change. “I’ve always stood up for London’s open, outward-looking, pro-European and anti-racist values – as well as for climate science, women’s rights, our diversity, our LGBT+ community, and liberal democracy,” Khan wrote.

London residents are set to vote for their preferred leader in six weeks, with Khan presently enjoying a significant lead in the polls. The YouGov/Mile End Institute Poll shows Khan leading at 49 percent, with his nearest opponent, Conservative Susan Hall, trailing at 24 percent.

Statue of Obese ‘Woman of Color’ to Be Installed in London’s Trafalgar Square.

A statue of an obese “metropolitan woman of color” will be installed in London’s iconic Trafalgar Square, alongside a monument to Admiral Lord Nelson, the Hero of Trafalgar, and statues of King George IV and war heroes General Sir Charles James Napier and Major-General Sir Henry Havelock.

Titled ‘Lady in Blue,’ the sculpture by Harlem-born Tschabalala Self will be placed on the so-called “fourth plinth,” an empty pedestal originally intended to hold an equestrian statue of King William IV, in 2026. It will feature a black female with prominent buttocks wearing platform shoes and a revealing blue dress.

Self says the sculpture “pays homage to a young, metropolitan woman of color who could be just one of many Londoners today.”

It was authorized by the Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group, which operates under Mayor Sadiq Khan’s so-called Culture Team.

It will not be permanent, with the city authorities rotating a series of often woke installations on the fourth plinth. ‘Towards an Uncertain Future,’ a shapeless green mass by Romanian sculptor Andra Ursuța, is set to replace it in 2028.

Russia Says It Has Killed 491 Americans in Ukraine.

Russia’s Defense Ministry released a report on Thursday stating that their forces have killed approximately 6,000 foreign mercenaries and volunteers who were fighting for Ukraine. The report alleges that a total of 13,387 “foreign mercenaries” from foreign countries have participated in the war since its commencement over two years ago.

Among the killed foreign fighters, Russia reports 491 were American fatalities. The estimated number of British casualties is 360, and 422 deaths from Canada. The highest number of foreign fighters were Polish, accounting for 1,497 deaths out of the total 2,690 reported.

UK Prime Minister Liz Truss encouraged Western fighters to volunteer for Ukraine during the early stages of the Russian invasion. The U.S. also brazenly endorsed Ukraine’s foreign recruitment efforts via online platforms, even on social media platforms such as Facebook. But as the war hit a stalemate and the casualty rates soared, Western officials appeared to recede from their initial enthusiasm.

The negative repercussions of these endorsements were evident in the case of a young British man. Harry Gregg, who recently committed suicide after fighting in Ukraine, was reportedly motivated by the proclamations of Truss, who described those fighting for Ukraine as participants in a “battle for democracy.”

‘Extremely Violent’ Machete Attack Near London Mosque.

Police in Sadiq Khan’s London are hunting a man named Abdullahi Mohamed following an “extremely violent” machete attack outside the capital’s Deptford Islamic Centre.

“Mohamed is fully aware that police are trying to locate him for this offence,” said a Metropolitan Police spokesman.

“Anyone who knows him or has information on his whereabouts should contact us. This was an extremely violent attack, using a large machete, and Mohamed is believed to be dangerous,” the spokesman added.

The victim was hospitalized but is reportedly not in life-threatening condition. Police have not released any information on the victim’s ethnicity or background, saying only that he is in his twenties and they do not believe the attack on him was a hate crime.

Machete attacks are becoming increasingly common in Britain’s multicultural capital, with a three-man brawl with the long blades in broad daylight being caught on camera late last month.

The share of London’s population classified as ‘White British’ was recorded as just 36.8 percent in the 2021 Census — down from 44.9 percent a decade earlier.

UK Bans Foreign State Ownership of Newspapers in Blow to Jeff Zucker.

Ousted CNN boss Jeff Zucker’s plan to acquire Britain’s Daily Telegraph is in jeopardy as the UK government moves forward with legislation banning foreign state ownership of newspapers and news magazines. Zucker’s bid strongly depends on support from the United Arab Emirates.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s decision was triggered by concerns over foreign control of influential British media outlets. These stemmed directly from the use of Emirati funds in Zucker’s bid. The Telegraph, along with its sister publication, The Spectator, holds considerable sway in British politics.

Zucker’s business, RedBird IMI, will now have to reconsider its approach. This could include seeking new investment partners and reducing the Emirati stake to comply with the upcoming rules.

Prominent members of the Conservative Party, including broadcaster Andrew Neil and Fraser Nelson, editor of The Spectator, publicly criticized Zucker’s reliance on Emirati funding. This amplified the political scrutiny of overseas influence on British institutions and rallied further opposition among Conservative lawmakers.

The acquisition was already under review by British regulators. The proposed legislation restricting foreign state ownership is expected to pass in Parliament, given the Conservative Party’s solid majority.

Zucker is a controversial figure in American media and politics. At CNN, he encouraged staff to divide America and promoted alleged scandals surrounding the Trump administration. He also presided over multiple internal sex scandals.

‘Envy of the World’ UK Health Service Irradiating Patients with Outdated Machines.

Britain’s socialized health service is exposing patients to excessive radiation with out-of-date radiology machines. A National Health Service (NHS) trust covering nearly half a million people in Kent, England, has been using machines that expired up to four years ago.

“Until this equipment is replaced we cannot easily reduce the dose to patients,” trust board papers state. Parts failures in the old machines result in lengthy, unreliable scans at “the upper limit of safe” in terms of patient irradiation.

Forty-eight percent of NHS trusts use CT and MRI scanners beyond their recommended ten-year life span. The socialized health service, which politicians have often portrayed as “the envy of the world,” also has the fewest CT and MRI scanners per head of any Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) country.

In early March, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, the second-most senior politician in the United Kingdom, claimed “[t]he NHS is, rightly, the biggest reason most of us are proud to be British.”

Days later it was reported that just one NHS hospital had amputated the limbs of at least six people in error, with over a hundred similar botch jobs reported across the country over just three years.

England BANS Puberty Blockers for Kids.

The National Health Service (NHS) in England has ceased prescribing puberty blockers to children attending gender identity clinics. The socialized healthcare service’s decision follows an independent review of gender identity services for under-18s in 2020.

Government Health Minister Maria Caulfield said, “children’s safety and wellbeing is paramount, so we welcome this landmark decision by the NHS.”

“Ending the routine prescription of puberty blockers will help ensure that care is based on evidence, expert clinical opinion and is in the best interests of the child,” she added.

The review, led by Dr. Hilary Cass, followed a surge in children referred to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), run by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, for puberty blockers. Referrals crossed 5,000 in 2021-22, a stark increase from fewer than 250 cases as recently as a decade ago.

GIDS, which has been mired in multiple scandals and has been sued for rushing patients into life-altering transgenderism procedures, will be terminating its services by the end of this month.

Children will reportedly still be able to receive puberty blockers as part of clinical research trials, however.
