On August 8, Bernadette Spofforth, a 55-year-old British Twitter user, was dragged out of her home, arrested and held for 36 hours for posting that the murderer of 3 girls in Southport was a Muslim terrorist. The charge she was held under was “posting inaccurate information”.
Bernadette was one of thousands of people arrested in a massive crackdown by the Starmer government aimed at suppressing political dissent over its open borders migrant policies.
After Axel Rudakubana, a Muslim terrorist, entered a children’s Taylor Swift dance workshop and stabbed 11 little girls, killing 3 of them, British authorities declared an emergency. The emergency was not the latest act of horrifying Muslim terrorism targeting local children.
It was that some of its citizens had noticed the latest Muslim terror attack and were outraged.
These included the the Dublin stabbing of children outside a Catholic school by Riad Bouchaker, an Algerian Muslim or the Manchester Arena bombing at an Arianna Grande concert by the Muslim Abedi family which wounded over 1,000 people and killed 22 people, many of them children, forming a consistent pattern of Muslim child killing.
The Southport stabbing at a Taylor Swift dance workshop fit the pattern. So did the immediate torrent of media disinformation accompanied by police threats and government crackdowns.
British authorities, which usually make a point of withholding the names of Muslim terrorists for as long as possible, released Axel Rudakubana’s name even though he was underage. Axel’s name and his Rwandan background were used to mislead the public into believing he was not a Muslim. In reality, the authorities knew he was a Muslim convert and did not reveal that.
Instead the authorities began arresting people for describing the stabbings as a Muslim terrorist attack. Media outlets, including Sky News, conducted ‘analyses’ of ‘misinformation’ denouncing trending hashtags like “Southport Muslim”. PM Starmer demanded an immediate crackdown on such ‘misinformation’ as posing a threat to public safety and the justice system.
While the Starmer government and British authorities had tolerated and continued to tolerate widespread Muslim terrorist rallies calling for the murder of Jews at which the flags of known terrorist organizations are waved, they declared an emergency over open borders protests.
Dystopian scenes were televised of police raiding people’s homes for “spreading misinformation”. Over 1,000 people were arrested for protesting and speaking their minds. In the same nation where police stood by while Muslim waved Hamas flags, shouting “who the f___ is Allah” earned a 61-year-old British man over a year in prison for opposing open borders.
This was in sharp contrast to the soft treatment meted out to Muslim terrorists like Mohisnath Chowdhury, who had attacked police officers with a sword outside Buckingham Palace while shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and spent only a year in prison, before being released, and then arrested yet again for another terrorist plot targeting British people and tourists in London.
Much as in Dublin, the emergency was not a brutal attack on little girls, but criticism of Islam.
Even as PM Starmer demanded censorship of ‘misinformation’ and Justice Minister Shabana Mahmood, a Pakistani Muslim with her own extremist views, unleashed a ruthless crackdown on the British people, the regime was undoubtedly aware of the truth about the terrorist.
After denying that Axel Rudakubana was a Muslim terrorist and arresting people for saying that he was, the police have finally admitted that he possessed an Al Qaeda manual titled ‘Military Studies in the Jihad’ and, like a number of previous Al Qaeda terrorists, had been making Ricin in an attempt to produce a biological weapon.
“You may have seen speculation online that the police are deciding to keep things from the public. This is certainly not the case,” Chief Constable Serena Kennedy claimed of the new charges. “At this time, Counter Terrorism Policing has not declared the attack on Monday 29 July a terrorist incident. I recognise that the new charges, may lead to speculation… for a matter to be declared a terrorist incident, motivation would need to be established. We would strongly advise caution against anyone speculating as to motivation in this case.”
It took the police nearly four months to reveal that the Muslim terrorist possessed an Al Qaeda manual, but the authorities are still denying that he stabbed the little girls in the name of Islam. The authorities deem this to be “transparent” and continue to warn the public about “speculating” about the motive of a Muslim terrorist who was getting his ideas from Al Qaeda.
“Don’t engage in rumour and speculation and don’t believe everything you read on social media,” Kennedy insisted.
Social media is unreliable, but the authorities are more so. Social media may have gotten the name wrong, but it got the essential truth of the story right. And social media does not engage in sustained cover-ups or break down your door to arrest you to protect those cover-ups.
In “early August”, the authorities had turned up the Ricin. The Al Qaeda file probably came up even earlier. While the authorities were arresting people for describing Axel as a Muslim terrorist and warning about the dangers of misinformation, they were well aware of what he actually was.
Was the media aware of the truth even while it was warning about “misinformation”? Likely so.
Over the course of the ruthless government crackdown that followed, the media became the main source of ‘disinformation’, falsely claiming that Axel was not a Muslim, demanding urgent censorship and arrests of anyone who told the truth, and even attributing it to Russia.
All of these were not only lies, but calculated lies used to aid a government cover-up.
Few media platforms, even the more prestigious and conservative ones, have corrected their false claims that Axel was not Muslim. For example, the Financial Times continues to falsely claim that Axel “is not Muslim” even as it urges greater censorship. The FT quoted a professor employed by the Islamic terrorist state of Qatar, to bolster its claims about ‘misinformation’.
Nor is the crackdown by the Starmer government over. The same British establishment which has made few arrests in a year of Hamas riots has announced that months later, “inquiries continue regarding 216 wanted people whom the police are actively seeking to arrest” in the protests against the Islamic terrorist killings of British little girls.
But if there are to be arrests for ‘misinformation’, they should begin with PM Starmer, the authorities and the media which spent months lying to the public and using those lies to justify a crackdown, political persecution, arrests, and the chilling of free speech and protest in the UK.
The Southport crackdown was one of the ugliest periods in British history in this century. And it was all based on a government lie. There must be a reckoning for the illegal arrests, the warnings by police to social media users and the lies spread by the political establishment.
Thanks Daniel, excellent coverage and analysis.
Time to close the Borders and return violent radical Islamic’s and their followers back to the Middle East
“ British authorities declared an emergency.”
Two Tier Kier has learned from his WEF friends.
This PM weasel Starmer whole-heartedly approved the “Reichstag Fire” staged by the Sleepy Joe administration.
The prick thought that if a corrupt Biden gov’t can arbitrarily round up patriots, so can he. So he did.
Another cowardly weasel, Trudeau, froze accounts & seized semi trucks. Cops on horseback rode over Canadian patriots. They knew there’d be zero consequence. Afterall; they weren’t riding over muslims.
Islam brought down the world trade center.
Patriots responded by volunteering & taking up arms.
Chickenshit politicians responded by importing islam and dumping them in patriot neighborhoods – just not theirs.
If you despise leftist politicians & their enablers in the press, it’s not nearly enough.
Thnks, exactly. Why do so many lose focus on this recent history?
Because the limeys are very class conscious.
If The Guardian, say, were to run this story under the banner headline “TODAY’S CLASS WAR IN THE UK: Upper Class War On Lower Class Has Been Farmed Out To Oil Rich Muslims; Muslims Allowed To Stab Lower Class Girls To Death As They Wish”, then, and only then, would the politically correct Brits feel they have leave to criticize Muslim Terrorists.
Otherwise, the word is out: Shut Up Or Else.
The U.S. was headed down the same road, until last night.
Progressivism always fails eventually. If the Brits do not get a handle on this soon, and throw PM Starmer out you will be seeing things like “The Islamic Republic of the UK.
Money buys power. Here there and everywhere. Oil and Chinese money runs our colleges. That is an unaddressed problem that controls the future of our country and civilization. I pray Mr. Trump survives long enough to save us.
Shocking – even for me to see what’s happening over there in UK
Two of the things that were unnerving during Biden and Commie
Kamala’s time in office have been the violation of the J6 defendants
Constitutional rights and the lawfare perpetrated against President
Trump. They were in-your-face statements to the American
people that the authorities could and would flout the law and
trample our rights. And there wasn’t a damn thing we could do
about it.
This Soviet-style behavior toward Americans – rich or poor – is a
precursor toward our people being subjected to the actual tyranny
ordinary English people are now enduring under Starmer. If the
powers that be could get away with J6 and lawfare injustices,
they could slide right into roundups and arrests. Just like under
Starmer.
But badly wounded America – thanks to the people’s YUGE election
of Donald J. Trump – is still standing and still free – with FU being our
own in-your-face reply back to the Commies.
The Starmer Troopers strike again. To rule over the people, foreign troops have historically been used. When Americans merely wanted the rights of Englishmen, George III sent Hessians to suppress the Revolution, Today, the West’s open border policy serves the same purpose. Starmer sees the people speaking up, especially correctly, as a conspiracy against control.
If Axel Rudakubana is not Muslim, then actually that is more worrying than if he is – because it would mean that other groups are seeing al-Qaeda as their go-to training source.
Suppose for a moment, that because the boy was underage, some kind of protection is warranted. However, those that radicalized him should have been identified immediately and exposed publicly. So far, we do not know how he was converted, or who was providing him with radical ideology.
This boy’s entire contact list should be reviewed, investigated, and if appropriate, immediate deportations should follow. Starmer needs what,. more dead children in Britain?
It is so hard for me, an American Britophile, to observe the current situation in Britain now. And King Charles is too removed, I fear Wills is too woke, and wonder if they will survive. No, at the current rate/state of affairs. It all started in the 1950’s when socialism was allowed by Parliament and the King to “nationalize” many business enterprises and thwart the private sector which had been the honorable mainstay of their freedom and prosperity.
Although my grandfather retained his American citizenship, his daughter, my mother, was raised in England and returned to America at age 20 at the start of WW2 in Europe. She was always fond of England. In a sense, I’m glad that she is not here to see the ongoing catastrophe that is the take over of what once was a wonderful country by vicious stupid tyrannical scum, the absolutely evil alliance between the nihilist left and the followers of Islam.
YES! We here in the colonies have lived to see the Great Awakening against George Soros and his communist followers on the left side of the aisle that are happy to take his miliions to fund their anti-American agendas, not to mention his financing of our radicalized judicial system. To take his money is to bend to his will.
Although most Americans are ignorant regarding the rise and insidious spreading of communism throughout parts of the world, taking advantage of weak socialist regimes and poverty-stricken dictatorships, this is the first time the American people have had a very brave man, a seventy-eight-year-old man, risk his wealth, AND his life, for the welfare and freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution, for the little guys and gals of America against the elitists and “effete snobs,” if I can steal the imfamous words of Spiro Agnew, living lives of luxurey in their gated mansions.
It isn’t over. As long as there are Pelosis and Raskins and Schumers, we are not safe. Constant alertness against their nefarious political maneuverings and those of their followers is the watchword. Are Americans up tp the task? We will see. We will see.
Five November will always be a National Holiday to me for as long as I live.
Please pass this important testing on to everyone you know.
The DemoNazi Propaganda Machine suppresses the truth in favor of Leftist/Islamist narrative of the poor oppressed Arabs. The terrorists who commit unspeakable crimes against humanity are turned into victims in a perverse twisting of reality.
Please watch and pass this on.
Daniel, are you aware of the plight of Tommy Robinson in the UK? He is currently in prison with his life at risk among the Muslim population. His crime was to speak out about the injustice of unprosecuted rape crimes occurring in the UK.
His crime was to be in contempt of court to which he pleaded guilty to. That is why he is prison. Admirably Tommy Robinson took responsibility for his contempt of court.
However the original libel case he lost – about which he made the film “Silenced” – IMO appears to be a miscarriage of justice given the contents of the film. So much evidence supporting him, and presented on the film, was not allowed to be given in the original libel trial.
Starmer should be in prison.
Too true, he is acting like Stalin in Communist Russia.
Stalin said, “Give me the man and I will give you the case against him” is a saying that was popularized in the Soviet Union and in Poland in the period of the People’s Republic of Poland, attributed to the Stalin.
England is now the Ministry of Truth from Orwell’s 1984 where “truth is lies”.
It needs to be stated WHY England is destroying itself? Is it white guilt? Biblical prophecy/satanic control/lack of belief in God, or what is it?
This is the question that needs to be answered. I hope Daniel Greenfield will provide us with some insight.
It is not only in England but across the entire United Kingdom from the top of Scotland to Northern Ireland and across Wales so though England has more people and also more muslims you do know that Scotland had a wee muslim prick as First Minister who wanted to bring half a million from Gaza into Scotland which has a population of no more than 5 and half million so do the Math 20-25 years from now if that was to happen…
Thankfully the Scottish people kicked him out.
So not just England but ALL of the UK unless of course you think of Britain as England which in turn should make you think America is called Kansas.
I’m a Brit and my country is currently fucked!
Any chance of getting asylum in the US on the grounds of ‘fear of persecution for my political beliefs’ (Please!!! 😢)
I was in Glasgow Scotland in 1948 and I left the UK in 1970 never to live thee again…
Best thing I ever did.
This is truly heartbreaking! Well, this would have easily become the USA if lady word salad had been elected.
We Americans are an independent and sometimes rebellious lot who detest and very much hate anything other than truly Constitutional dictates. We grew not only weary but also enraged at the elites trying to sculpt reality for us. Theirs is a world of self-idolatry, perversions, lies, deceit and violence, bribery, war and money lust. Their disregard for the Muslim violence against women and children is a brutal refutation of their indulgent indifference for the suffering of others.
Americans are sick of them and what they want. When Trump completes the border wall and these mongrels who have all illegally entered are deported, we Americans request that all the leftist Hamas supporters, self-identified soldiers of leftist victimology and the alphabet soup people clamoring to have all perversions normalized, let them find refuge with those whom they so vigorously support elsewhere in these backward, violent, Middle Eastern tribal countries where none of you will have ANY RIGHTS!!.
As for Britain, why did you elect this monster Keir Starmer? Did you not care about the violent grooming gangs? The stabbings and murders? Your country, laws, traditions and people being totally ignored? Your women and children regularly preyed upon and horribly gang raped? STAND UP, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT for your country and people otherwise dhimmitude awaits you and the Sharia laws will permanently enslave you!
The window on your freedom is rapidly closing so please do something for yourselves, your children, your heritage and your future!
I don’t know what percentage of England is Muslim now but it is far from a majority & they control the politics of England now. Do not think Muslims have to become a majority in the US to control our politics it will take far less than that but more than in euroweeny land
Perhaps best to count the amount of muslims across the UK and not only in England as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have had enough of these backward barbarians.
England is a land mass within the borders of The United Kingdom.
