Britain waves the white flag to Islamization and illegal immigration
With almost every day that passes, Britain is progressively embracing its own destruction by groveling to its mortal foes and dumping big-time on its most loyal friends. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour government is increasingly surrendering to Islamization while presiding over a poisonous culture of antisemitism that's roaring out of control. For the past decade, more than 170,000 illegal immigrants have crossed the English Channel from France in small inflatable boats. Successive governments have failed to deal with this people-smuggling trade, which has provoked fury among the British public aghast at the unsustainable levels of immigration, both legal and illegal. Brits are also horrified by the impact of large numbers of Muslim migrants who refuse to integrate into British society. 4 Abu Wadei, a pro-Hamas Gazan, captured his arrival in Britain via the English Channel in a Facebook post. While most UK Muslims sign up to Western values, a very large minority do not. Of the 43,000 active terrorists on the books of security service MI5, some 90% are Muslim — a community that's a mere 6% of the population. And now the illegal immigrant trade poses an acute danger to British security. With MI5 issuing urgent warnings of an imminent threat of Iranian terrorism within Britain, there are indications the all-too-obvious risk of terrorists coming in across the Channel is real. In May, three Iranian men who arrived in Britain on small boats and a truck to claim asylum were charged with spying for Tehran. 4 Farhad Javadi Manesh, 44, Shapoor Qalehali Khani Noori, 55, and Mostafa Sepahvand, 39, appear in May at Westminster Magistrates' Court after their arrests on spying charges. Julia Quenzler / SWNS In March, an Arab from Gaza who arrived in southern England on a small boat and posted on social-media support for Hamas and calls for the death of Jews was arrested and jailed after pleading guilty to attempting to enter Britain illegally. The UK TV station GB News revealed this month that cross-Channel smuggling gangs are marketing themselves with ISIS recruitment videos and execution footage on social media. Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Courage Media reported a 'credible' intelligence source warns people-smuggling gangs are facilitating trained Islamic militants' passage across the Channel and have trafficked arms across Europe and into Britain. Intercepted 2015 telephone calls and letter correspondence between ISIS members divulged their ambition to use migrants in boats crossing the Mediterranean as a 'psychological weapon' against Europe. Britain already has an estimated 1.2 million illegal migrants, with one in every 13 people in London thought to be there illegally. Despite all this, Starmer's attempts to deal with the small-boats crisis have been feeble in the extreme. He just agreed a 'one migrant in, one migrant out' deal with French President Emmanuel Macron. This deal will reportedly be limited to just 50 illegal migrants a week, or 1.5% of all those who've arrived in Britain since the crisis began. On the very day the deal was agreed, some 573 illegal migrants landed on British shores in small boats from France. The Starmer-Macron agreement provoked ridicule and fury in equal measure among the British public as a hopelessly inadequate response to a national-security emergency. 4 Inflatable dinghies and outboard motors illegal migrants used to cross the English Channel from France are displayed in Dover. Getty Images This must be set in the context of the British state's craven response to the growing political power of British Muslims intent upon Islamizing British society. Britain commemorated the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 human-bomb attacks on the London Underground and a bus in which 52 people were murdered with wreaths laid and solemn speeches made. Yet no one — not the prime minister nor the king nor London Mayor Sadiq Khan — mentioned these were Islamist atrocities. Ludicrously, Starmer hailed 'the unity of Londoners in the face of terror,' saying 'those who tried to divide us failed.' But the bombers didn't try to divide Londoners. They tried to murder as many as possible and in the name of Islam. Starmer tries to pretend there are no divisions between Muslims and the rest of the public by shutting down all criticism of the Muslim world. Accordingly his government is busily working out ways to give the pseudo-offense of 'Islamophobia' real teeth. While seeking to stifle any mention of Islamist terror, the government is trying to criminalize those seeking to defend the British way of life. Thus an online training course hosted on the government's website for the anti-extremism body Prevent lists concern about mass migration as 'cultural nationalism' that could lead to an individual being referred to the deradicalization scheme for subscribing to a 'terrorist ideology.' Starmer has been much criticized for his reluctance to set up a national inquiry into the pimping gangs, composed overwhelmingly of Pakistani-heritage Muslims, that have kidnapped, raped, prostituted and otherwise abused thousands of very young white girls over the past two decades. Yet astoundingly, Muhbeen Hussain, who led a Muslim-community boycott of South Yorkshire police over its admission it had failed to act on rape-gang allegations 'because of fears of being called racist' — which he said attempted to 'scapegoat' Muslims — has been awarded the MBE, a prestigious national honor, for 'services to integration' and 'cohesion.' 4 London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Prime Minister Keir Starmer commemorate the 7/7 terror attacks. Getty Images Compare all this with the treatment meted out to Britain's inoffensive, law-abiding Jewish community, which is experiencing epidemic antisemitism that's off the scale. Lord Mann and Dame Penny Mordaunt, respectively a Labour and a Conservative politician, this month expressed deep shock in their government-backed report that antisemitism has become 'normalised' in middle-class Britain. The report, commissioned by the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the country's largest Jewish-community organization, found antisemitism to be pervasive in the health service, universities and the arts. Mann and Mordaunt said what really scared them is 'the increasing normalisation of far more extreme, personalised and sometimes life-changing impact directed at individuals purely and simply because they are Jewish.' Ever since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led atrocities against Israelis, British Jews have run a gauntlet of hatred, intimidation and attacks, both verbal and physical, as the direct result of incitement based on a systematic campaign of demonization and eye-watering falsehoods about Israel's behavior in Gaza. Through distortion, decontextualization and outright lies, Britain's media — led by the BBC and Sky — have channeled Hamas propaganda day in, day out. They have wickedly misrepresented Israel's just and agonizing war to defend itself against extermination and its attempts to safeguard as far as possible the lives of Gazan civilians being used as human shields and cannon fodder as genocide and war crimes. With Israelis being painted as diabolical child-killers, British Jews find themselves being personally accused of 'killing babies' and restaurants and pubs refusing to serve 'Zionists.' No other group is spoken of in such a vile manner. No other people is subjected to such profound and obsessional injustice. No other nation is told it has no right to its own country and its national-liberation movement is a source of evil. Yet instead of defending the country's Jews against this pre-pogrom incitement, the Starmer government has poured petrol on the flames by parroting the same Hamas lies about Israelis killing 'too many' civilians or depriving Gazans of food — this while Israel and America are providing millions of meals to Gazans for the first time receiving food aid that's not being stolen from them by Hamas. Starmer's behavior displays the dire effects of the alliance that's been forged between Western liberals and Islamist radicals. It's laying waste to America's Democratic Party and found its most alarming expression in Zohran Mamdani, the Islamist poised to become New York mayor. He too channels Hamas lies about Israel; he too will make his city's Jewish community more unsafe; he too will undermine America's security. Americans should gaze upon Britain and be warned.

Alleged Hamas supporter admits trying to enter UK illegally
A Palestinian man who allegedly charted his journey across the English Channel on social media has admitted attempting to enter the UK illegally. Abu Wadei, 33, also known as Mosab Abdulkarim Al Qasas, pleaded guilty on Monday to trying to get into the UK on March 6 without leave or valid entry clearance. He was arrested by immigration enforcement officers after arriving on a small boat in Kent, having paid smugglers €1,500 (£1,300. $1,690), Canterbury Crown Court previously heard. Wadei was then placed in a hotel in the Manchester area. The court had heard Wadei, who left Palestine in 2022 before making asylum claims in Greece, Germany and Belgium, had no familial or financial ties to the UK and had stayed between Calais and Dunkirk in France for about seven days before crossing the English Channel. His arrival made national headlines after it was reported that Wadei, a Palestinian from the city of Khan Younis in Gaza, had posted on social media support for Hamas – which is proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK – and hate-speech calling for the death of Jews. In a picture posted on Facebook in March 2021, it is claimed Wadei stared into the camera while smoking a cigarette and brandishing an assault rifle with a telescopic sight. Wadei has a large following on social media, where his TikTok videos attract up to 2.5 million views, The Mail on Sunday claimed. He is alleged to have charted his journey from Gaza on the social media channel, including posting footage of his dinghy being approached by the Border Force vessel in the English Channel. As part of his journey across Europe, he posted a picture of himself in Brussels on Valentine's Day, then in central Paris earlier this month. Wadei was re-arraigned via an Arabic interpreter after the charge was amended to include that he 'attempted' to arrive in the UK without leave or valid entry clearance. He is set to be sentenced on Monday.

Dangerous foreign nationals dodging deportation to be tagged like terror suspects
Dangerous foreign nationals who use human rights laws to avoid deportation will be tagged like suspected terrorists to protect the public. Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, will announce powers in her Border Security Bill this week to impose electronic tags, night-time curfews and exclusion zones on foreign nationals who cannot be removed from the UK. They will face the restrictions if they have committed a crime or are deemed a threat to the British public even if they have no convictions. The law currently prevents the Home Office imposing such curbs on migrants deemed 'high-harm' threats to the public or who have served a jail sentence but cannot immediately be deported back to their home country. The new powers are modelled on terrorism prevention and investigation measures (TPIM), which enable the Home Secretary to impose restrictions on suspected terrorists including GPS tags, curfews, exclusion zones and curbs on their use of phones, internet or contact with associates. The orders were introduced by the Tories in 2011 to replace Labour's control orders. The powers could apply to Channel migrant Abu Wadei, a Palestinian militant who, it was revealed at the weekend, has called for the slaughter of all Jews and been pictured with an AK47 in Gaza. The move follows disclosures by The Telegraph of how foreign-born murderers, sex offenders and violent criminals have avoided deportation by claiming it would breach their human rights under the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR). It comes as the Tories announced this weekend that they will be seeking to amend the Border Security Bill to ban migrants from using human rights laws to fight deportation in the British courts. It would mean disapplying the Human Rights Act for all immigration cases such as those revealed by The Telegraph. A Government spokesman said: 'Any foreign nationals who commit heinous crimes should be in no doubt we will do everything to make sure they are not free on Britain's streets, including removal from the UK at the earliest possible opportunity. 'For the foreign criminals whose removal we are pursuing, but that we are presently unable to deport, we are introducing tougher restrictions, including the use of electronic tags, night-time curfews and exclusion zones. Breaching these conditions would be grounds for arrest and the individual could face imprisonment.' It is understood the new tagging and curfew powers are supported by Lord Hermer, the Attorney General, who has been working on the plan with Ms Cooper. Ministers do not believe they contravene human rights laws. Any breach of the orders would carry a maximum of six months in jail. 'This is about bringing in TPIM-style restrictions for migrants who pose a risk to public safety,' said a Government source. As of September 2023, there were 11,800 foreign offenders liable for deportation but who had been released into the community after serving their sentences. Since July 2024, the Home Office has deported 2,580 foreign criminals, a 23 per cent increase on the same period 12 months prior. The powers would enable ministers to place restrictions on members of the Rochdale grooming gang whom the Home Office has so far been unable to deport to Pakistan. They include ringleaders Adil Khan, 53, and Qari Abdul Rauf, 55, jailed for eight and six years respectively for a catalogue of child sex offences. They would also apply to Mada Pasa, who shared a death threat against Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, via TikTok but has no UK convictions. Foreign criminals revealed by The Telegraph to have avoided deportation could be covered. One case, cited by sources, involves an Algerian chemist jailed for nine years for contaminating food and convicted of knife and battery offences. He has used the ECHR to avoid deportation in multiple court cases over more than a decade. In the latest blow to Home Office attempts to deport the man, a court of appeal backed his claim that he would face persecution as Algeria would regard him as a person with Islamist terrorism sympathies and therefore likely to detain him for interrogation and mistreat him as a result. He has been granted restricted leave to remain in the UK. The powers could also help prevent repeat offences by freed criminals whom the Home Office failed to deport. Jamaican Ernesto Elliott, 47, a prolific offender, avoided deportation in 2020 but went on to murder a 35-year-old man six months later. The amendment enacting the powers will be laid this week to Labour's Border Security, Immigration and Asylum Bill. Sources said it would allow the Home Secretary to impose tagging and other restrictions as a condition of a grant of limited leave. It would be up to the Home Office to determine those covered, although it would broadly be anyone deemed to be a threat to public safety or security. Any foreign national convicted of a crime and given a prison sentence is considered for deportation at the earliest opportunity. Under the UK Borders Act 2007, a deportation order must be made where a foreign national has been jailed for 12 months or more. The Home Office said any foreign national convicted of an offence that had caused serious harm, who was a persistent offender or who posed a threat to national security would be considered for deportation where it was conducive to the public good under the Immigration Act 1971.

Migrant who called for slaughter of all Jews arrives in UK on small boat
A Palestinian migrant who previously called for all Jews to be killed has said he has arrived in Britain on a small boat. The young man, who goes by the name of Abu Wadei – with various spellings – shared footage from what appeared to be an inflatable dinghy on social media platform TikTok on Friday. Wearing a keffiyeh, a head covering, he showed dozens of lifejacket-clad asylum seekers with him on the small boat. The video caption, written in Arabic, translates as: 'Thank God, we arrived in Britain after a difficult journey.' On the same day he posted on a Facebook account: 'By the grace of Allah Almighty I reached Britain after a long and difficult journey at sea.' Yet an investigation by Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) revealed the man had attended an event addressed by Yahya Sinwar, the former Hamas leader and mastermind of the October 7 massacre. He is also said to have told crowds he would die 'for the sake of Allah' and appears to have posed with guns on his Facebook page. The revelation has led to calls for the migrant's immediate arrest and deportation to Palestine. Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, described reports of the man's illegal entry into Britain as 'deeply disturbing' and told The Telegraph he should be immediately deported. It comes as Coastguard and Home Office workers are likely to be preparing for a seasonal increase in migrants attempting to cross the Channel over the summer months. A total of 29 small boats carrying 1,664 migrants have already been recorded as attempting illegal crossings in the first seven days of March, according to Government figures. Abu Wadei, who boasted of more than 172,000 followers on TikTok before his account was taken down on Saturday, describes himself as being a 'digital creator' on his Facebook page and being from Gaza City. Several of those commenting on the TikTok clip that appears to show his crossing, which has received more than 350 likes, expressed relief for his safety. Yet an investigation by the CAA found the migrant appeared to show support for the Gaza-ruling group Hamas, which has been proscribed as a terror organisation by the UK Government. In one video – which appeared to date back to around 2018 – the man was seen telling crowds at a rally that his 'loftiest aspiration' was to 'die for the sake of Allah', according to a translation by the CAA. Posting on Facebook on September 18 last year, the man filmed himself praying. A translation by the CAA of the prayer read: 'Oh Allah, punish the Jews and those who are in league with them. 'Oh Allah, kill them all ,and do not leave a single one of them. 'Oh Allah, destroy them completely, scatter them completely, and make the earth fall from under their feet.' He added: 'Oh Allah give us strength against the criminal Jews. Give us strength against them, Oh Lord of the worlds.' Speaking to The Telegraph, Mr Philp said: 'If these reports are true, they are deeply concerning. The Home Office must investigate. 'Our country is our home, not a hotel. Those entering the UK illegally should not be able to stay here, least of all those suspected of espousing violent anti-Semitism. 'Under Keir Starmer we have become the soft touch of Europe on immigration. He must get a grip and back Conservative proposals to toughen up the borders Bill next week. This man should be immediately returned to Palestine.' A spokesperson for CAA said: 'We consider that this man poses a threat to public security and are asking the Home Office for urgent assurances that he is in secure custody pending further investigation. 'The fact is that he has brazenly posted not only these views, but also his involvement in a Hamas-endorsed unit in Gaza on social media accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers.' A Home Office spokesperson said: 'We are committed to ending small boat crossings which undermine our border security, and restoring order to the asylum system to ensure that the rules are respected and enforced. 'While it is a long-standing rule that we never comment on individual cases or operational matters, the British public can be reassured that we take all steps necessary at all times to protect the nation's security.'
