‘Trust in Allah’ Signs Blanket London as King Charles Hands Out Ramadan Treats.

Public lampposts in London, England, governed by Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan, have been festooned with banners instructing viewers to ‘Trust in Allah’ and ‘Give Zakat’—a form of charitable donation mandated by Islam. The banners were produced by Islamic Relief, an Islamic charity likely hoping to benefit financially from such Zakat donations.

Images of the Islamic Relief banners went viral on social media after being flagged by Shahar Ali of the far-left Green Party, who argued, “These are public lampposts & public sphere must remain secular, without fear or favour to any particular religion or lack of faith.” Social conservatives agreed the banners were inappropriate but for different reasons, with Anglican minister Calvin Robinson arguing, “The United Kingdom is not a secular state. It is a Christian country… I have a problem with this level of religious advertising [because it] should be distinctly Christian in nature.”

Adding another layer of controversy to the situation, Islamic Relief has received millions of pounds in taxpayer funding through government grants and contracts in recent years. This is despite the fact the charity and its worldwide branches are frequently mired in controversy, with the U.S. State Department cutting ties in 2020 over the “anti-Semitism exhibited repeatedly by [its] leadership” and the German government accusing it of “significant connections” to the Muslim Brotherhood the same year.

In another sign of Islam’s growing influence over Britain’s national life, King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, shared a video of themselves packing dates to be sent to Muslims as special treats during Ramadan, which they described as a “holy month” despite the King’s status as the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and his Coronation Oath to “maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel” and “to the utmost of my power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law.”

Other forms of Islamic appeasement are more sinister, with a man who was stabbed by a Muslim man and kicked by a passing Muslim delivery driver during a Koran-burning demonstration in London being charged with religiously motivated harassment in recent weeks.

WATCH: Vance Calls Out UK PM for ‘Infringements on Free Speech’ to His Face.

Vice President J.D. Vance has called out Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for the “infringements on free speech” in the United Kingdom to his face, as he pledged he would do in an exclusive interview with Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, earlier this month.

“[W]e… know that there have been infringements of free speech that actually affect not just the British—of course, what the British do in their own country is up to them—but also affect American technology companies and by extension American citizens, so that is something that we’ll talk about today at lunch,” the Vice President said at a media event alongside Starmer and President Donald J. Trump.

“We’ve had free speech for a very, very long time in, in, the United Kingdom, and, uh, uh, it will last for a very, very long time,” Starmer stammers in response. “Certainly, we wouldn’t wanna reach across U.S. citizens, and we don’t, and that’s absolutely right,” he adds.

Britain does not, in fact, have free speech, with British citizens regularly being arrested, charged, and sometimes imprisoned for various speech crimes. These include sending “grossly offensive” messages and, in at least one case, simply sharing “a social media post containing inaccurate information.”

The country’s previous Conservative Party government explicitly rejected a petition for a Free Speech Act abolishing “hate speech” laws and bestowing First Amendment-style protections on British citizens, claiming that “The Government is committed to upholding free speech [but] this freedom cannot be an excuse to cause harm or spread hatred.”

Britons’ theoretical right to free speech is based on the European Convention on Human Rights. Article 10 of the Convention bestows a theoretical right to “freedom of expression” but notes that this right can be abridged “in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.”

Contrary to Starmer’s claim that British speech restrictions do not extend to American citizens, England’s Director of Public Prosecutions, Stephen Parkinson, threatened to try to extradite foreign nationals for online speech crimes in 2024.

Rape Gang Hotspot Receives ‘Town of Culture’ Award.

Rochdale, a hotspot for Britain’s predominantly Muslim, Pakistani-heritage “grooming” gangs, comprised of pedophiles drugging, raping, pimping, and—occasionally—killing mostly white working-class victims, has been named Greater Manchester’s ‘Town of Culture’ for 2025 and 2026 by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, of the far-left Labour Party.

The award was announced in the House of Commons by Paul Waugh, the Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Rochdale, and welcomed by Leader of the House of Commons Lucy Powell on behalf of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer‘s Labour government. “It’s got a fantastic cultural heritage,” Powell said of Rochdale.

Along with Rotherham, Rochdale is the most infamous rape gang epicenter in Britain, being one of the first locations where the scandal emerged into full view. Thousands of girls were abused by the gangs across the country over several decades, with the authorities, including police and child protective services, turning a blind eye to them due to a combination of contempt for the victims and fear of being accused of racism by the perpetrators. However, until the beginning of 2025, no public officials or former public officials were charged with misconduct in public office over any of the scandals, despite multiple official inquiries finding “institutional” failings.

Rochdale’s ‘Town of Culture’ status is not the first slap in the face to rape gang victims, with Rotherham previously being shortlisted for a ‘Social Worker of the Year’ award, despite the town’s social workers being heavily implicated in grooming gang failures.

British Foreign Sec. Confirms Trump CAN Veto Surrender of Strategic Island Base.

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has confirmed that U.S. President Donald J. Trump can veto the British government’s plans to hand the British Indian Ocean Territory, or Chagos Islands, to Mauritius. The islands include Diego Garcia, home to a strategic U.S. base, and the proposal to transfer sovereignty to China-aligned Mauritius has proved highly contentious.

“On a military level and an intelligence level, we’re very intertwined with the United States,” Lammy told the British media, noting there have been changes of government in both Mauritius and the U.S. since his government, led by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, was first struck in 2024. “If President Trump doesn’t like the deal, the deal will not go forward, and the reason for that is we have a shared military and intelligence interest with the United States, and of course they’ve got to be happy with the deal, or there is no deal,” he added.

The Chagos deal has proved highly contentious in Britain, with the far-left Labour government agreeing to transfer the islands to Mauritius in deference to a non-binding International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling. Britain would have paid Mauritius billions of pounds—not the other way around—to facilitate this transfer in exchange for a fragile 99-year lease for the Diego Garcia base. However, Mauritius could have rendered the base fairly redundant by leasing one of the other islands to China.

Moreover, the native Chagossians—relocated from their islands to make way for the base in the 1960s and ’70s—oppose the transfer to Mauritius, which is over 1,300 miles away, with little real connection to Chagos beyond the fact they were part of the same colony administratively under the British Empire.

The anti-British Empire Attorney General who negotiated the one-sided deal with Mauritius and the Mauritian negotiator are both friends and political supporters of Prime Minister Starmer, raising doubts about its incredibly disadvantageous terms.

Deferring to Trump on the question of the Chagos Islands will be a personal blow to Lammy, a black identitarian who has previously described the America First leader as a “neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath” and “tyrant.”

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.
