When the inner London estates failed whilst the Barbican of exactly the same design thrived it was clear that the people in the estate, not the design was the problem.

How a three-star migrant hotel in Barbican became a living nightmare for locals: Blazing mattresses and a TV hurled from windows… and no fewer than 41 ‘guests’ charged with 90 offences ranging from rape to sexual assault, robbery and bag snatching” – The Mail reports on a a central London crimewave centred on an asylum hotel.
Why isn’t this is in the Round-up? No paywall;
”An elite team of police officers is to monitor social media for anti-migrant sentiment amid fears of summer riots.
Detectives will be drawn from forces across the country to take part in a new investigations unit that will flag up early signs of potential civil unrest.
The division, assembled by the Home Office, will aim to “maximise social media intelligence” gathering after police forces were criticised over their response to last year’s riots.
It comes amid growing concern that Britain is facing another summer of disorder, as protests outside asylum hotels spread.
On Saturday, crowds gathered in towns and cities including Norwich, Leeds and Bournemouth to demand action, with more protests planned for Sunday.
Angela Rayner warned the Cabinet last week that the Government must act to address the “the real concerns that people have” about immigration.
But critics on Saturday night branded the social media plans “disturbing” and raised concerns over whether they would lead to a restriction of free speech.”

Jim Chimirie’s response;
”The British Government Has Chosen the Easier Path: Policing Its Citizens, Not the Migrant Invasion
The British state has lost the will to defend its borders but found boundless energy to police its own people. Instead of confronting the crisis at the Channel, the Home Office is assembling a new “elite” unit – not to stop illegal migration, but to monitor what ordinary Britons say about it online. It is far simpler to clamp down on dissent than to deal with the chaos of an open border.
The creation of the National Internet Intelligence Investigations team signals a dangerous shift. This isn’t about public order or safety; it’s about policing opinion. The state can no longer control the influx of migrants, so it will control the narrative instead. Social media posts questioning immigration policy are now treated as potential threats, while the real threat – the failure to uphold national sovereignty – goes unaddressed.
This is the new face of British policing: centralised, politicised, and aimed squarely at the public. The same state that claims it lacks resources to deport foreign criminals can somehow fund an online surveillance team to comb through tweets and Facebook posts. What’s… Read more »
This peice by Jim Chimirie is absolutely spot on, really thoughtful and chilingly accurate
Thanks for the link Mogs
This here should come as no surprise either. And there’s no such thing as an ”elite” police unit, as retired police officer Norman Brennan pointed out. They’re just regular police officers tasked with doing their ‘1984 Thought Police’ bit. There’s also been many arrests of protesters at Epping being tracked down, so we’ll be hearing how these people get on. There was footage of a guy being arrested in his living room, but I’ll bet all this clip can’t be found now since the Online Safety Act went live. Lots of UK accounts saying content has been removed from Twitter;
”Just a few minutes after the Online Safety Act went into effect last night, Proton VPN signups originating in the UK surged by more than 1,400%.
Unlike previous surges, this one is sustained, and is significantly higher than when France lost access to adult content.”

I think the reason the Notting Hill Carnival will never ever be cancelled for good is that it would be an admission that multiculturalism is an epic failure, and this, along with the ever-increasing knife crime ( theft, rapes etc also ) and gang-related violence which is predominantly perpetrated by the non-white population in London, is something Khan is in complete denial about. I mean, nothing says ”diversity is our strength” like this particular event and the guaranteed resultant crimes that are now just part and parcel of it;
”The policing of Notting Hill is analogous to painting the Forth Bridge. The planning for the next one will begin as soon as this one ends. Intelligence will be gathered from the current event and the lessons learned (or at least they should be). Senior commanders—Gold, Silver and numerous Bronzes—will be appointed, and all of these will have fully imbibed the progressive policing Kool-Aid, concentrating on the things that matter, like the quotas of ethnic identities on the feedback panels. At no point will they question whether the carnival should go ahead at all.
This is because Notting Hill is now woven into the fabric of the modern Yookay diversity ‘miracle,’ and… Read more »
I don’t know about you, but to me Notting Hill Carnival looks like scenes from hell.
We used to attend the annual West Indian parade in Leeds when we lived nearby. It was really enjoyable, amazing jerk chicken, lovely family-friendly vibe and never a spot of bother. It’s something about London and the nefarious subculture there.
The first ‘child’ to be evacuated will bring their whole family with them. Guaranteed…
Indeed, why is it that none of the Muslim countries are willing to accept anybody from Gaza?
Because, unlike the west, they look at the countries around them that have seen Palestinian immigration, Lebanon for instance, and have learned from their histories?
