They will try and utterly fail, and will have egg permanently on their faces. Why? Because we now have “herd immunity” to their BS propaganda, and won’t get fooled again! What they are doing now is a desperate last-ditch rear-guard attempt to regain power. DO NOT COMPLY.
Truth!!! For you

Excellent! Achilles’ heel indeed.
Further to the Islamification of the West, the UK edition. Can you believe these sorts of people are deliberately harboured in our countries? And why the hell would the UK want to build bridges with Afghanistan?
”A group of Islamist imams and activists from the United Kingdom met with Taliban leaders in Afghanistan in late July in an apparent effort to soften the image of the regime. The trip ended days before former Prime Minister Gordon Brown called for the regime to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity for its mistreatment of women in the country.
A number of prominent UK-based Islamists participated in the trip. Haitham Al-Haddad, the chair of the Fatwa Committee of the Islamic Council of Europe who participated, said the visit was about building bridges between Afghanistan and the UK.
In 2021, Haddad was banned from entering Denmark for four years and placed on a list of foreign religious figures deemed a danger to public security. He has declared homosexuality a crime, spoken in favor of female genital mutilation and affirmed a man’s right to hit his wife. He has claimed Jewish people are descended from “apes and pigs,” although he has claimed in the past his comments have been misinterpreted. In a series of lectures, Haddad states that Muslims must aspire to institute Islamic states so that Islam can be implemented fully, and that this must be the aim of Muslims living in the West, according to the 2014 report Evangelising Hate by the Council of Ex Muslims of Britain.
Sulaiman Ghani, the imam of a mosque in Surrey and an NHS Chaplain at St George’s Hospital in Tooting, also participated in the visit. In 2013, Ghani led a demonstration outside the Houses of Parliament against the treatment of jihadists detained in Guantanamo Bay. At the protest he called terror detainees, including 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, “nice people.”

Indeed, the Afghanistan war was all for naught. Just like Vietnam, Iraq, the War on (people who use a few particular) Drugs, and of course the “War Against the Invisible Enemy (Covid)”. All of these wars exposed the lie of the illusion of control, and the massive waste of blood and treasure in such exercises of futility.
I know, right? Politics can make for some VERY strange bedfellows!
“New Study Suggests Global Warming Could be Mostly an Urban Problem”
It’s a good article but a terrible headline. How can something “global” be “mostly urban”?
Nice one. Cracked me up.
“New Study Suggests Global Warming Could be Mostly an Urban Problem”
This statement also implies there is “global warming,” when the reality is that there is no such thing.
As always that is an excellent point
We must be careful not to concede any attempt to normalise crazy evil ideas and lies
Thanks tof.
It’s called “Urban Heat Island effect”, in which concrete and asphalt absorb much more heat than would be absorbed in their absence, making cities significantly hotter than the surrounding countryside.
Indeed – so it can hardly be “global”. I still can’t get my head round how people can say the “planet is getting hotter” and it mean anything you could measure.
Okay this is just absolutely staggering and further confirmation that Islam is being enabled to cement its dominance in the West by crooked, traitorous politicians. ‘Proof Your Government Hates You But Loves Islam’, the German edition;
”A new report about “anti-Muslim hostility” commissioned by the German government has faced a barrage of criticism after it was revealed that Islamist groups linked to Iran and Turkey were involved in producing the document. Unsurprisingly, the long-awaited report paints a highly distorted picture of Muslim discrimination in Germany: It brands virtually all criticism of Islam or Islamism as “anti-Muslim hostility” and reprimands German lawmakers and even reformist Muslims who oppose the spread of Islamism in Germany.
Christoph de Vries, a member of the German Bundestag for the opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU) told FWI that the “reclassification” of “Islamophobia” as “anti-Muslim hostility” seeks to “portray Muslims exclusively as victims.” Critics of Islam or Islamism “are thus very quickly branded racists, a racism that is believed to be located in a large part of mainstream society,” he said. “There is no real evidence for this, but the report uses a hodgepodge of quotations, which are often taken out of context, in an attempt to prove this thesis.”
De Vries, who has led legislative efforts to outlaw taxpayer funding of Islamist groups, noted that the report treats his party’s parliamentary motion to combat the financing of Islamism as an example of “anti-Muslim hostility.” He warned that “this form of confrontation with democratic parties, but also well-known experts on Islamism, is an unacceptable crossing of the line.”

It’s basically “peace through appeasement”, which history as shown does NOT work in the long run. Churchill is spinning in his grave!
The paradox of tolerance is really NOT a paradox at all, since those who breach the agreement are no longer covered by it. Thus we do NOT have to tolerate the intolerant. Tolerance is NOT a suicide pact!
“Tolerance is NOT a suicide pact!”
A good point.
May as well make it a hat-trick. Another UK edition. I suppose Manchester don’t want lightening to strike twice, though I’m going to stick my neck out and say this isn’t really getting to the root of the problem is it?
”New concrete blocks and a metal barrier have been installed on a busy city centre street as a counter-terrorism measure, the M.E.N. understands.
The barriers have been installed on Peter Street, where several popular music venues, restaurants, and bars are situated. Rudy’s Pizzeria, The Albert Hall gig venue, and Alert’s Schloss bar all call the road home — meaning the pavement can be thronged with party-goers at the weekend.
That has prompted concerns the road could become a target of a terror attack, the Evening News understands. The council has confirmed the new structures are in place for ‘public safety’.”
https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/counter-terror-barriers-installed-busy-27630330
Islam and Middle East expert, Robert Spencer, isn’t impressed either;
”Imagine a threat being so great that you have to alter the city’s landscape to counter it, but meanwhile you cannot even acknowledge it as a threat or discuss the motivating ideology behind it without facing personal and professional ruin. That’s Britain, and the West in general, today. Shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain is, of course, finished.”
I dunno. Looks suspiciously like even more road use/car use restrictions to me, like Oxford and other places. We’ll know when they close the road off entirely and pedestrianise it…
Yes my first thought was what is stopping somebody with a suicide vest or carrying a bomb in a bag from getting to any of those venues, which is the usual modus operandi of these deranged sickos if they were so motivated. Surely if it was to prevent traffic the council would have just come out and stated that, but possibly it serves a dual purpose, who knows?
Definitely. Sorry, I posted before reading your comment.
I know the Peter St area very well, just off St Peter’s Square, unsurprisingly. Whatever Burnham is up to this has not been done for public safety. This is probably linked to his incoming ULEZ project.
“Tesla breaks down mid-turn and causes more than nine hours of travel chaos” –
Can’t help myself – BWAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA
At least when an old diesel car of mine conked out in the middle of the M4 on the Severn Bridge (alternator failed) me and the guy behind could push it to the side!
“Sadiq Khan deploys Ulez vans after vigilantes attack cameras”
It stab city I wouldn’t have thought that would be a problem, just pop all the tyres!
That was exactly my thoughts when I read that, Dings.
Up the auntie! 
“Up the auntie!
”
You’ve lost me there Mogs. Do you mean ‘ante?’
Yes, hux. I was just being daft. It’s my inner Carry On movie fan spilling out.
It’s infamy, infamy! They’ve all got it in for me!
Sorry. A bit slow of me. I should have known better.
A wonderful
song.
Wow, The DM doing a decent bit of journalism for a change. Look at the crazy amounts these people are raking in. The industry that is now ‘illegal immigration’ sure as hell is profitable! Digging the irony of Winston Churchill’s grandson being among them.
”With Britain facing a permanent migrant backlog costing taxpayers up to £5billion a year in hotel bills alone, the asylum industry has proved to be a lucrative business opportunity for a host of companies who have cashed in on the Government’s demand for housing and processing services.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that these fatcat bosses are part of an industry known as ‘Asylum Inc’ where groups of lawyers, landlords, hoteliers and security firms benefit financially from the shambles of the Government’s flawed asylum policy.
More than 60 firms have such contracts – ranging from stock exchange-listed giants to hotel groups, transport firms, language-testing companies, technology corporations, creches, a host of digital intelligence firms, consultants and childcare services.
Such companies will inevitably reap more dividends as the Homes Office continues to struggle with the cross-Channel small boats crisis, with a record 175,000 foreigners waiting in the UK for a decision on an asylum claim.
That number increases daily with more than 20,000 crossing the Channel this year so far, including 5,369 in August, a new high for any month on record.”

This is simply another means of raping the population. These are unaffordable national expenses which will result in higher taxation. All part of the plan to impoverish the people and the country.
Aye, that sounds about right and just what Neil Oliver touches on in his latest monologue.
Interesting article by Miri Finch, who lives in Huddersfield, about the student accomodation supposedly handed to “asylum seekers” at very short notice.
She claims the accommodation has been empty for several years but after spotting work being done last year she wrote to Kirklees council last December asking if it was planned to house “asylum seekers ” there.
She didn’t get a reply.
