As of May 2023, the EU is to start demanding holidaymakers’ biometric data at its borders, greatly increasing both the level of surveillance in the bloc and the length of delays at transport terminals. Silkie Carlo sounds the warning in the Telegraph.
Brits hopping across the Channel will first have their fingerprints and photos taken. The new mass data-gathering scheme, which will go live in May, is part of the evolution of a so-called ‘Smart Border’.
But there is nothing ‘smart’ about the plans. The data grab has been justified by the aim of improving detection of dangerous travellers, finding vulnerable people, and reducing fraud, but it comes at an eye-watering cost to liberty and logistics. The border plans have been rightly described by civil society groups as “disproportionate and unnecessary”, while the Port of Dover’s boss has warned of “significant and continued disruption for a very long time”.
All travellers aged over 12 will need to be biometrically logged, creating an EU datastore loaded with hundreds of millions of people’s unique personal data. The EU is demanding not only a U.S.-style set of four fingerprints, but facial images too. Holiday-makers’ personal information will be mixed in with eventually billions of pieces of data, spanning photographs, palm prints, DNA records and facial biometrics, to which controversial recognition algorithms can be applied. This may be the biggest biometric data collection operation in European history. What could possibly go wrong?
Too many of our European friends have an indifferent attitude to the emergence of a data-hungry superstate – over 1.7 billion EU Digital Covid Certificates were issued during the pandemic – but even those falling out of love with liberté must be concerned about the disastrous impact on tourism and transport. The Big Brother-style EU border checks are estimated to take seven times longer than checks today and the tailback at Dover could grow by 19 miles – roughly the distance of the Channel crossing itself.

One of those infested dens of far-right, literally-Hitler, anti-vax, flat-earther, anti-science conspiracy theorists?
You can’t have too much evidence that you’re being Islamified ( slo-mo conquered, in other words ), so here’s a bit more. Isn’t it interesting that it’s the descendants of migrants that were actually born in the UK that identify as Muslim first, as opposed to their parents who identify as British first? I’d have thought it’d be the other way around because surely if you’re born in Britain you’d expect to have integrated well into the culture and form more of an affinity and bond to the place. Strange;
”The vast majority of British Muslims identify with their religion over their nationality, a report has found.
A study conducted by the Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life (IIFL), based on survey data and interviews with 815 British Muslims, has found that over seven in ten (71 per cent) identify as Muslims first.
In contrast, just 27 per cent of British Muslims said they primarily identified as British, English, or Scottish.
The report found that younger people were far more likely to identify as Muslims first at 85 per cent, compared to older Muslims, a majority of whom (57 per cent) identified as being British first.
“When you ask people in their 20s, that were born here, in this country, they can express themselves very freely. They can freely call themselves ‘Muslims’ rather than ‘British’. But if you speak to their father, they will say they are British. The immigrant generation had to push their Muslim identity down so they could integrate,” one of the survey respondents remarked.”

Never heard of this lot but it’s an odds on certainty that it’s a gang of grifting non-jobbers creaming taxpayers.
I think has happened so quickly and is so extraordinary that many many people are in denial especially if they get their “news” from the BBC.

Muslims nationality is always Muslim. Despise their nasty vacuous, mind control, murderous, racist, anti other religions, invader cult. Civil war is closer than ever. Unfortunately
Pause for thought. If I were to be asked if it is more important to me that I am Christian or that I am British, what would I say? Sub specie aeternitatis, I would have to reply: Christian.
“Like other countries, the UK is suffering an enormous post-pandemic economic hangover, with a cost-of-living crisis, high taxation, and soaring energy costs placing an unbearable burden on ordinary citizens.”
Except we are not victims of a post-pandemic hangover, we are suffering under central government inflicted destruction with tories and Kneel’s mob of treasonous bastards entirely to blame.
The country could have been righted post Scamdemic but Johnson, Fishy and Kneel set their stall out to turn us in to a Turd World shithole and I reckon they have pretty much succeeded.
The country is finished.
Muzzies. Africans. Asians. Queers. Tranny’s. 25% of the pop ‘disabled’ apparently. Indians all over the IT sector here (my domain) ensuring that every project is a complete f-up.
Clown world. I have a penis, therefore I am a trans-Muzzie-Ecuadorean.
Open Borders, Net Zero, ‘Climate Change’, Nuclear war with Russia, The Rona fascism, Abortion, Euthanasia, No pride parades, Pharma-ments….the list is endless.
Thanks
If it were finished, its detractors wouldn’t still put such an effort into their misdeeds, spreading defeatism being prominently among them. Reality is such that the Kings and Queen of Shithole Council aka the UN still expect to extract trillions of £ from the UK and they wouldn’t put an effort into this if they weren’t convinced this is possible.
Thanks to Sallust and the DS for highlighting those two excellent articles: one by Julie Sladden with the view from Down Under, and the other by the indefatigable Richard Littlejohn with the classic Robin Hood name.
Causes? Here are two: first, the Communist Cloward-Piven Strategy for destroying the West, and secondly, the Communist Frankfurt School 11-Point Plan for Destroying the West:
1. Create Racism Offences for Whites Only.
2. Induce Trauma through Injustice.
3. Teach Sex and Sodomy to Children.
4. Undermine Parents’ and Teachers’ Authority.
5. Force Mass Immigration to Destroy Ethnic Identity.
6. Create Confusion by Continual Change.
7. Empty the Churches.
8. Encourage Crime to Destabilize Society.
9. Create Dependency on the State by Welfare Benefits.
10. Promote Drugs, Pornography and Alcoholism.
11. Encourage the Breakdown of the Family.
“To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots.”
Aleksandr Solzenhytsin (1918-2008)
And the Conservatives (in name only) watched this happen. I can’t think of anything they did to help. This must not be forgotten.
They are not conservatives in any sense.
You recognize the tree from
its fruit.
Or, as Jung put it, if you want to understand people’s motives, look at the results of their actions.
Need to add install Medical Nazism using fake science or Scientism as the casus belli, acclimating the sheeple to poisons, diapers, LDs and murdering old people.
Also add euthansia and abortion. Nothing like murdering the innocent in the womb, or a confused elder to declare your ‘civilisation’ and moral bona fides.
None of that is instigated by the right. It is a full on assault with intent.
“To produce a maximum of chaos in the culture of the enemy is our first most important step. Our fruits are grown in chaos, distrust, economic depression and scientific turmoil. At least a weary populace can seek peace only in our offered Communist State, at last only Communism can resolve the problems of the masses.”
Lavrentiy Beria
The Marxist BLM demand and think the following
1. Dismantle capitalism
2. Climate change is ‘racist
3. Abolish prisons
4. Get rid of borders
5. Unemployment is ‘violence’
6. End stop and search
7. Get rid of the police
8. Government appointment of a Pakistani heritage woman is ‘racist’ – (Previous Gov).
9. Suffragettes reinforce White supremacy
10. Churchill is ‘staunchly racist’
11. Big charities are ‘colonisers’
One of the founders of XR, Stuart Basden, has the following to say, and it’s open ended of course, and I’m sure he would also say “there is so much more to be done”.
“And I’m here to say that XR isn’t about the climate. You see, the climate’s breakdown is a symptom of a toxic system of that has infected the ways we relate to each other as humans and to all life…
– The delusion of white-supremacy centres whiteness and the experience of white people, constructing and perpetuating the myth that white people and their lives are somehow inherently better and more valuable than people of colour.
-The delusion of patriarchy centres the male experience, and excludes/hinders female assigned people from public life (reducing them to a possession or object for ownership or consumption). Patriarchy teaches dominating and competitive behaviours, and emphasises the idea that the world is a place of scarcity, separation and powerlessness.
– The delusions of Eurocentrism include the notion that Europeans know what is best for the world.
– The delusions of hetero-sexism/heteronormativity propagate the idea that heterosexuality is ‘normal’ and that other expressions of sexuality are deviant.
– The delusions of class hierarchy uphold the theory that the rich elite are better/smarter/nobler than the rest of us, and make therefore better decisions.
There are other delusions. (of course there are, it’s endless) These delusions have become ingrained in all of us, taught to us from a very young age…”
Sphincter rebellion must be punished severely.
“It seems, policies that were initially justified to ‘keep people safe’ had morphed into tools of public control.”
Who would’ve thought, David Icke for one!
“ The decline is not inevitable, but reversing it will require bold, unwavering action.”
I’d say that is incompatible with the increase in the building of new Mosques.
“How the hell did we end up at the mercy of potentially hostile foreign powers?”
Because we are at the mercy of a Globalist Fifth Column!
It seemed to me that Britain had been sold out.
Lock stock and barrel.
The cultural collapse started in the1950s you could even say 1850 and reached its high noon in about 1985. These are the morbid symptoms of what happens long after the collapse. The attendant ghouls that come to feast on the rotting bodies. You are long dead you are just suffering the post mortem agony of watching your corpse being eaten in the most obscene way possible. As the revelation of John said, in those days men will seek death and will not find it.
They are all filthy traitors. Almost every MP in Parliament is a bloody treasonous piece of dung to their peoples wellbeing and safety. Even the arrogant egotistical Farage is a one of them.
God speed the civil war as it’s the only way we are going to save our native people, now. Be ready to fight, men of England.

Julie Sladden is wrong to say ‘with Christians now in the minority’. In the ONS bulletin ‘Religion, England and Wales: Census 2021’, it says that 46.2% of the population (27.5 million) are Christian, a large decrease of 13.1% percentage points since the 2011 census. Yes, there has been an increase of 44% in the number of Muslims from 2011 to 2021, but only 6.5% of the population (3.9 million) are Muslim.
So, the largest religion is still Chistianity, with 7 times more Christians than Muslims. Other figures in the bulletin are: ‘no religion’ 37.2%; Hindu 1.7%.
