Right-Wing Parties Expected To SURGE In Europe.

Right-wing populist parties are expected to make large gains in the 2024 European elections, reflecting a continent-wide trend in national politics that is seeing voters flock to increasingly conservative parties.

The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), advocating for greater member state sovereignty and stricter immigration control, among other things, is set to become the joint third-biggest party in the European Parliament with 89 seats – a “massive” 23-seat gain since 2019 – according to POLITICO’s in-house polling.

The populist Identity and Democracy Party, demanding increased security for native Europeans and tackling illegal immigration, is expected to win 77 seats, representing a 15-seat rise and driven by the recent success of Germany‘s Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which recently achieved its first “landmark victory” and is polling second across the country with 21 percent of the popular vote.

The right’s gains would come at the cost of the centrist and left-wing parties. The European People’s Party (EPP) – currently the largest group in the European Parliament – is expected to lose 12 seats, bringing the total number to 165, with the far-left Greens predicted to lose a whopping 24 seats, maintaining only 48.

The elections are due to be held between June 6-9 next year, with the number of European Parliament Members expected to grow from 705 to 720.

UK Could Send Illegals to Remote Atlantic Island.

Britain’s governing Conservative Party is hinting it could send illegal aliens to an isolated island in the Atlantic, as it scrabbles to appear tough on immigration having broken almost every promise to get the nation’s border under control.

Migrants have been crossing the English Channel from France in small boats for years, with authorities not only failing to turn them back but actually meeting them at sea to collect them and bring them the rest of the way to Britain.

The Tories, in power since 2010, have been promising to “stop the boats” for years with zero results, and are spending millions on accommodating tens of thousands of boat migrants, some highly dangerous, in often luxurious hotels across the country.

Plans to transfer boat migrants to Rwanda, a safe third country, have come to nothing, being unravelled by activists, lawyers, and liberal judges in the courts, as have plans to accelerate deportations.

Now, with a general election on the horizon, the Tories are making what may be their final, desperate attempt to appear as though they will do something about the issue, by hinting to the press that they could send migrants to Ascension Island, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

As with previous Conservative immigration schemes, there is almost no chance this one will be implemented, due to high costs and expected opposition from Joe Biden’s U.S. government, which jointly operates the only airbase on Ascension.

The island is a remnant of the British Empire, part of the widely scattered British Overseas Territory of St Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha. It has a long-settled permanent population of over 800, which would be transformed beyond all recognition by the transfer of even a few hundred boat migrants.

Chelsea FC, With Millions of Young Fans, May Have PORN Shirt Sponsor Due to Govt Interference.

Chelsea Football Club – one of the largest soccer teams in the world with a fanbase of around 135 million people – may allow the OnlyFans-style porn website ‘My.Club’ to become the official sponsor of the team, even emblazoning the brand on the club’s t-shirt, in a £25 million ($31 million) per year deal.

The situation – which would see millions of young fans exposed to porn adverts emblazoned across the chests of their favorite players –  emerged as a result of the club’s ongoing crisis precipitated by the British government’s intervention in the team, with Putin-linked former owner Roman Abramovic being forced out at the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war.

The club has since played under a special government licence, though it could not sell merchandise, was subject to a transfer ban, and could not initially offer players new contracts. The club reported losses of £145.6 million as a result, which left it in the hands of a large corporate takeover led by the American businessman, Todd Boehly, backed by board member and government lackey Lord Daniel Finkelstein.

The story became stranger after the club signed Ukrainian player Mykhailo Mudryk from Ukrainian-based Shakhtar Donetsk for the wildly overpriced free of around $108 million. The Ukrainian club then used $25 million of the fee to fund the war in Ukraine. Chelsea went on to have one of their worst seasons ever in the 2022/23 season, finishing in 12th. Now, they may have to resort to pornographic sponsors.

‘F**k Off to France’, UK Tells Migrants Who Don’t Like Their Free Housing.

Conservative (Tory) Party Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson suggested illegal migrants dissatisfied with the quality of the free accommodation they are receiving at taxpayers’ expense should “f*ck off” back to France,” where most of them were staying before paying criminal people-smugglers to bring them across the English Channel on small boats.

“If they don’t like barges then they should f**k off back to France,” he said, referring to a floating hotel where the government is attempting to house some adult male migrants as a slightly cheaper alternative t proper land-based hotels.

“These people come across the Channel in small boats… if they don’t like the conditions they are housed in here then they should go back to France, or better not come at all in the first place,” he added.

The Tories have always had a captive minority of politicians like Anderson who, like the party’s voters, are more socially conservative and hold stronger views on issues like immigration than the party leadership.

Anderson has only been given a higher profile in the party recently, as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak seeks to deflect from the fact the Tories have achieved nothing in terms of stopping the growing boats crisis while massively increasing legal mass migration.

Many of the migrants supposed to be sent to the barge have already gotten out of it as a result of activist lawyers, usually taxpayer-funded, lodging appeals complaining their clients are “severely afraid of water” – somewhat unconvincingly, considering how many arrived in Britain by sea.

40M Voters’ Data Accessed in Election ‘Cyber Attack’, Paper Systems Safe.

The Electoral Commission, the UK’s electoral watchdog, was targeted in a ‘complex cyber-attack’ which saw “hostile actors” gain access to electoral register copies and private voter information, including emails, names, and addresses.

The hack, which took place in August 2021 but was not discovered until October 2022, was stymied only by the fact that the UK still has paper-based electoral processes.

“The UK’s democratic process is significantly dispersed and key aspects of it remain based on paper documentation and counting,” stated the Electoral Commission’s chief executive Shaun McNally.

“This means it would be very hard to use a cyber-attack to influence the process. Nevertheless, the successful attack on the Electoral Commission highlights that organisations involved in elections remain a target,” McNally added.

The UK has taken a number of steps to ensure the security and integrity of its elections, including introducing voter identification requirements for the most recent local elections this year. The decision was taken by government ministers as “a reasonable and proportionate way to confirm that someone is who they say they are when voting, thus stamping out the potential for voter fraud to take place.”

UK Claims 1-in-4 Chance of a ‘Catastrophic’ Pandemic Within 5 Years

The British government claims there is a one-in-four chance another pandemic will occur in the next five years, hospitalizing around 1.34 million Britons and killing up to 840,000 in a “reasonable worst-case scenario” – unless a new vaccine is produced.

While over a century passed between the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 and the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, British officials believe there is a good chance the next one will come along suspiciously quickly, outlining their concerns in the National Risk Register report to the Cabinet Office.

“[W]e need to be more open than ever about the risks we face,” wrote Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden in the foreword to the report.

“Government cannot tackle these challenges alone; due to our increasingly complex and interconnected world, all of society needs to work together to strengthen our defences and build a more resilient nation,” he insisted.

The report says the next pandemic “may come in single or multiple waves” depending on a variety of factors including “public behavior,” adding that it “may lead to behaviour changes in the population depending on the nature of the disease and the Government’s response.”

Local Govt Funds Queer ‘Drag Camp’ for Children with Taxpayer Funds.

Local government offiicals in England’s iconic Oxford are funding a five-day “drag camp” for children as young as 14, where they will be invited to become “a comedy clown, a diva, a club kid or something totally different” and put on a show.

Oxford City Council, run by the far-left Labour Party, recently increased the local council tax by almost five percent, and used part of its extra money to contract “queer not-for-profit” T(art) Productions, Pegasus Theatre, and the Doris Field Charitable Trust to run a taxpayer-funded grooming event.

“For all kinds of drag performers including kings, queens, and all the beyond and in-between, you will get the tools you need to put together a look and a routine in your own unique style, with an optional showcase at the end,” reads the advertisement for the drag camp.

“You’ll dive into the history of drag and learn about this dynamic, boundary-pushing art form that’s taking the world by storm. Find your drag voice and make it heard in the most fabulous way possible,” it urges.

The camp’s four-page manifesto boasts its event is “likely to attract a high rate of LGBTQ+ and questioning young people”, saying it “provides age-appropriate insight into the world of drag, and allows young people to explore self expression and learn about LGBTQ+ history”.

Bank Boss Apologizes to ‘Debanked’ Farage, But Won’t Reopen Account.

Dame Alison Rose, chief executive of NatWest bank, has written to Nigel Farage apologizing for her subsidiary Coutts closing the Brexit leader’s account for his associations with Donald Trump, Novak Djokovic, as well as his public criticism of Black Lives Matter and other far-left movements.

The bank initially leaked to the BBC that Farage’s account had been closed for “commercial” reasons, which the publicly-funded broadcaster regurgitated uncritically. The BBC has now accepted this is inaccurate after Farage produced evidence that Coutts debanked him because “his publicly-stated views [are] at odds with our position as an inclusive organization”.

Dame Alison apologized for these “deeply inappropriate comments,” claiming they “do not reflect the view of the bank.”

“I believe very strongly that freedom of expression and access to banking are fundamental to our society and it is absolutely not our policy to exit a customer on the basis of legally held political and personal views,” she said – but an offer to reopen Farage’s shuttered Coutt’s account was explicitly not extended.

Notably, the BBC published its inaccurate report about Farage being debanked for commercial reasons a day after its economics editor Simon Jack, who wrote the report, sat next to Dame Alison at a dinner event. Farage is continuing to press her on whether the CEO herself planted the false story.

“Can I ask you, Dame Alison, was it you? Was it you that breached my private client banking confidentiality? Was it you that told Simon Jack that?” he asked.

“I’m going to find out… I’ve put in another subject access request, this time to NatWest bank and in particular I’m looking for any personal correspondence, Dame Alison, that concerns me,” he added.

It’s Not Just Farage Being ‘Debanked’ in Britain…

A number of high-profile, politically exposed persons (PEPs) – including Members of Parliament amongst other political leaders – have had their private bank accounts closed over the past few months in in the United Kingdom.

The most high-profile example is Brexit leader Nigel Farage, who was “debanked” by Coutts Bank last month because of his close relationship to former President Donald Trump, appearances on InfoWars, and comments on political movements such as LGBT pride and Black Lives Matter.

But it’s not just Farage on the Chinese-style social credit chopping block. Multiple other PEPs have experienced similar, arbitrary action, including Brexiteer and leader of the Reform Party, Richard Tice; Member of the House of Lords and prominent Brexiteer Baroness Claire Fox; podcast hosts Konstantin Kisin and Frances Foster; writer Toby Young; and current British Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt.

British politicians have criticized the increasingly common move to restrict the ability of their colleagues to perform basic life functions such as opening a bank account, and have demanded action to prevent it from reoccurring. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak reacted to the Farage scandal: “This is wrong. No one should be barred from using basic services for their political views. Free speech is the cornerstone of our democracy.”

“In our increasingly cashless society, this is a brutally effective way of cancelling someone and is bound to have a chilling effect on free speech. Like many of the most fiendish forms of censorship, it was invented by the Chinese Communist party,” argues Toby Young.

British Banks May Lose Their Licences for Canceling Right Wingers

The UK government is considering new legislation which would revoke banking licenses from organizations that close accounts of public figures with whom banking executives disagree. This follows the controversy currently surrounding Brexit leader Nigel Farage, whose account was shuttered by the globalist-run Coutts/NatWest.

It will be incumbent on British banks to uphold and protect freedom of expression in return for banking licenses under legislation expected to be announced next week. The government is also discussing new rules that will force banks to provide customers with at least three months’ notice before closing their accounts rather than the current notice period of one month and to provide an “explicit” reason as to why they are closing the account, reports the British newspaper The Times.

“It would be of serious concern if financial services were being denied to anyone exercising their right to lawful free speech,” stated Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Andrew Griffith

“[T]he privilege of a banking license in a democracy should imply a duty not to ‘debank’ because you disagree with someone’s views,” Griffith added.

Farage has pointed to the fact that his former bank was or is run by an anti-Brexit executive, though most British banking executives have remained ardently against Britain leaving the European Union.
