Angry mums & dads protesting about immigration are NOT extremists – leftie elite who forced this experiment upon us are
On Monday night in Diss, Norfolk, protesters gathered outside an asylum-seeker hotel chanting, 'We want our country back'.

The previous Saturday in Dover, locals held a protest on the seafront against the spiralling number of small boats crossing the Channel.
And Epping, Essex, has witnessed several larger protests after an illegal immigrant from Ethiopia, who recently arrived on a small boat, allegedly sexually assaulted a young local girl.
The establishment is already falling over itself to dismiss the protests as 'far-right' and 'extremist'.
But I would put it to you they reflect something else entirely.
What they are tapping into is a groundswell of entirely legitimate anger and frustration among a population that is sick and tired of having to live with mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, shocking acts of sexual violence against women and girls, and a political class — represented by Keir Starmer — that is tone-deaf to the mood of the nation.
Clearly, it goes without saying that we all reject violence and racism.
If protesters break the law — if they incite racial hatred — then I would be among the first to say loudly and clearly they should be arrested and jailed.
But something else is clearly taking place in this country — a country in which millions of hard-working, tax-paying, law-abiding citizens are sick and tired of having policies they never voted for imposed on them from above.
Gag our media and keep truth hidden
Let me say something that will be very controversial in Westminster, Oxford, Cambridge and Brighton but will make total sense among this forgotten majority.
The extremists in this country are not the mums, dads and grandparents who are peacefully protesting in places like Epping.
The extremists are the politicians who insist on subjecting us to mass uncontrolled immigration, and spiralling crime, especially among migrants with no right to be here in the first place.
At least the penny seems to have dropped for Deputy PM Angela Rayner, who yesterday acknowledged out of control immigration was having a 'profound impact on society'.
Just look at what really lies behind the sudden protests in Epping.
While the initial spark was the alleged sexual assault of a local schoolgirl by an Ethiopian asylum-seeker named Hadush Kebatu, the real reason people's frustrations are now bubbling over can arguably be found elsewhere.
They can be found in the very deliberate and very irresponsible policies in Westminster that are pushing our once great country into managed decline, if not towards total collapse.
Look at what we learned about Britain in the past seven days alone. Our politicians have been secretly importing thousands of Afghans into the country while using controversial laws to gag our media and keep the truth hidden from the public, who will now have to pay billions of pounds in costs for this scandal.
The very same politicians, in other words, who ever since the Southport atrocity have berated the British people for suffering from 'misinformation' while, at the very same time, openly misinforming their own people.
Then we learned the state can, when it wants to, suddenly find more than 2,000 homes for the Afghan migrants while thousands of our own military veterans remain homeless and many more British families remain at risk of homelessness.
If our politicians can suddenly find a solution to this problem, many hard-working Brits will have wondered this week why they can't find similar solutions to the problems affecting British people.
At the same time, we also learned we are being forced to pay not only £15billion over the next decade on hotel and accommodation costs for the illegal small boat migrants.
We are also stumping up some £12billion a year in Universal Credit welfare payments for up to 1.3million foreigners, more than half of whom are not even working.
And all this amid what is the worst cost-of-living crisis since the Second World War.
How is this fair or right, many will also have asked this week?
Even worse, we only learned about these shocking costs because independent campaigners forced the state to tell us about them, after submitting freedom of information requests.
Until they did this, the state clearly did not want us to know about these costs.
Nor, by the way, did the state want you to know that foreign nationals, like the Syrian migrant who repeatedly raped a 12-year-old girl in Birmingham, are more than three times as likely as British nationals to commit rape and sexual assault, with Eritreans and Afghans topping the list of the most likely offenders.
That information, too, had to be forced out of the state.
Then we learned the establishment in this country somehow thinks it's appropriate, after the truly awful rape gang scandal, to give an MBE to a Muslim man who called on his fellow Muslims to boycott authorities over that same rape gang scandal.
Muhbeen Hussain was given the prestigious honour for 'services to cohesion' despite video footage circulating online showing him openly calling for Muslims to boycott state institutions they perceive to be unfairly targeting their communities.
Is this really the kind of message the UK state wants to send? That if you organise a boycott of our public institutions, in the name of religion, you will be rewarded?

And then we were given the hideous sight of Labour MP Jess Phillips once again appearing on national media to try to downplay the now unavoidable fact we have a specific problem with rape gang activity in Pakistani-Muslim communities.
That is something that is perfectly obvious to most people in this country but which the Labour Party, which relies heavily on Muslims for votes, continues to obfuscate and downplay.
When the Labour minister was asked about this problem, Phillips displayed the exact same mentality that enabled the rape gangs to begin with: denial.
While she dodged the question and blabbered about 'all men', reflecting the same bias that led middle-class #MeToo liberal feminists to say nothing at all about the rape gangs, the British people were reminded yet again about the fact that Labour just do not get it — they refuse to acknowledge the truth.
Then, as if to hammer home the point, the British people learned about the truly shocking case of Courtney Wright, a British schoolgirl who had been sent home by her school after choosing to wear a Spice Girls -style Union Jack dress to the school's 'culture day'.
And as The Sun reports today, dozens of pupils were put into isolation at a second school for sporting Union Jacks on another so-called 'culture day'.
Far from isolated incidents, these are just the latest examples of what I call 'two-tier multiculturalism' — a regime that encourages every minority group to protect and promote their identities while telling the British majority they cannot have an identity of their own.
Tear up the social fabric
From Epping to Dover, the reason why so many Brits are utterly fed-up is not only because of the shocking sight of more than 170,000 illegal migrants flooding into their country on small boats but because they can also sense how their very identity as British people is being eroded and deconstructed in the name of celebrating a bland, globalist, meaningless 'diversity'.
If the only thing that defines your identity is that you celebrate other people then it is the same as saying you have no identity of your own.
Yet as every British person knows in their heart to be true, there is something remarkably special, unique, and distinctive about coming from these islands — no matter how much politicians deny it.
Is all this chaos and carnage behind why so many are now peacefully protesting what is happening to their local communities and country?
Is it not true that a very large majority of people in this country, like those people in Epping, want the very opposite of what their hapless leaders are imposing on them from above — masses of uncontrolled, unvetted migration that is making us less safe?
What, I ask again, did our politicians and the state really expect? Because, as I say, I'd suggest to you that the real extremists in Britain are not the mums, dads, and grandparents who are peacefully protesting the transformation of the country.
No. The real extremists are all those politicians and state bureaucrats who think it is somehow acceptable or justifiable to impose this radical experiment — and that's exactly what it is, an experiment — on a people who never asked for it, nor ever voted for it.
The real extremists are the elite minority who are using their power to impose their will and tear up the social fabric that has long held this country together.
It is the ruling class in this country, far more than the British people, who are responsible for the latest scenes in Epping, Dover, and Norfolk, and may soon be responsible for many more scenes to come if they do not change course and listen to the darkening mood out there in the country.

Has Starmer forgotten which country he's running?
Keir Starmer has taken the unusual step of summoning his Cabinet back from their summer holidays for an 'emergency meeting'. What pressing matter will our rulers chew over? The public's simmering fury over unvetted migrants being given full bed and board in hotels, perhaps? Surely they'll touch on the working-class revolt against those hotels – a very English uprising that has spread from Epping up to Nottingham, Leeds and across the nation. Or maybe they'll finally get down to brass tacks on our insanely porous borders. I would certainly call it an 'emergency' when hundreds of young men with regressive beliefs are pouring into the nation day in, day out. Don't be silly. It is not for anything as trifling as Britain's own problems that ministers are cutting short their overseas jaunts. No, the emergency they'll be discussing is Gaza. The PM is arousing his ministers from their sunbed slumber to discuss the 'next steps' the Government should take to help resolve the crisis in the Middle East. Nobody doubts that what is happening in Gaza is dreadful. And yet there is something faintly ridiculous, not to mention ludicrously self-regarding, about Starmer's calling of an emergency conflab. It is a wild overestimation of modern Britain's global clout to fantasise that we might fix a bloody, complex war an entire continent away. Starmer might fancy himself as Mr Human Rights mounting his white steed to save the wretched of Gaza, but I doubt either Israel or Hamas will have time for the ponderings of a PM who can't even get his own national house in order. What about the UK, Sir Keir? Or the 'Yookay', as they call it on the internet: a disparaging term for this once proud nation that's been pummelled by the ideology of multiculturalism and the incompetence of our rubbish new ruling class. Britain feels taut with anger right now. The public is fuming over officialdom's flagrant abandonment of its most basic duty: to defend the borders. Brits feel like they're being taken for a ride. They face tougher taxes while illegal immigrants are fed and bedded in hotels. They're called racist toerags if they dare to speak about the 'grooming gang' scandal or the fact that some illegal immigrants are carrying out sexual assaults. Even the good, loving mums who hit the streets of Epping to say they don't want large numbers of men from afar mingling with their kids were damned as 'far Right'. The 'emergency' Starmer should be addressing is why some Brits can't seem to speak about our social decay without being likened to Nazis. Starmer's emergency meeting on Gaza feels like a big, shiny deflection from crises closer to home. Bereft of solutions for the problems plaguing Britain, he opts instead to pontificate on Gaza. How much easier it is to clamber on to your moral soapbox and say 'Gaza is suffering' – something everyone agrees with – than it is to overhaul Britain's own madly lax border controls or address the heartfelt concerns of millions of our citizens. This emergency meeting smacks of a showy virtue-signal designed to distract attention from the uselessness of this Government. Starmer hopes his preaching on the Gaza calamity will make him look statesmanlike for once. A true statesman, of course, sorts out his own state before wagging a finger at other states. We shouldn't be surprised. Starmer has always been more comfortable mixing with global bigwigs and holding forth on human rights than he has with listening to the 'oiks' here at home. This is the man who once said he's happier hanging out with the gold-collared superclass at the World Economic Forum in Davos than he is in that 'tribal, shouting place' of Westminster. Charming. Way to demean Britain's democratic institutions. You get the impression that this new breed of technocrat finds governing a drag. They far prefer tweeting and moral preening and soirees with super-rich moralists. This is Starmer summed up: as we approach the first anniversary of the Southport massacre and the riots that followed it, he holds an emergency meeting about a strip of land 3,000 miles away. What about this land, Sir Keir? The one where you were elected PM – remember?

Donald Trump responds to John Swinney's indyref2 plan
The US president was asked about the First Minister's plan at a press conference at his golf course in Turnberry, South Ayrshire on Monday. He said: 'I don't want to get involved in your politics, we got enough politics of our own. 'I will say that I predicted what was going to happen the last time.' He noted that he was opening his golf course in Aberdeenshire at the time and had called the result for Better Together, adding: 'I like to be correct.' Trump added: 'I do say that when they made that deal, somebody said that it was, and I remember this very distinctly, I said, could they do this all the time? 'There was a little bit of a restriction like 50 or 75 years before you could take another vote because, you know, a country can't go through that too much. 'I don't know the First Minister, but I've heard great things about him. 'I've spoken to him. I hear very good things about him and I'm meeting him today, so maybe I'll have a better opinion.' Keir Starmer, sitting alongside the president, added: 'I think that at a time like this when it's quite clear that there's uncertainty and volatility around the world, the strength of the United Kingdom together is very important for all four nations, very important for Scotland, and that should be our priority.'

England men's team should ‘take a lesson' from the Lionesses, says Starmer
The England men's football team should 'take a lesson' from the Lionesses, Sir Keir Starmer has said, following their dramatic Euro 2025 victory. England became European champions again on Sunday evening after defeating Spain in a dramatic penalty shootout in Basel. The prime minister – who is a football fan himself – said the Lionesses have 'captured the hearts of the nation', adding the team are an inspiration for young people across the country. 'We look forward to hosting them at Downing Street later and celebrating at the parade', his spokesperson added. But despite Sir Keir previously backing calls for a 'proper day of celebration' when England reached the Euro 2022 final, Downing Street has since rejected the idea of an extra bank holiday, saying: 'If we had a bank holiday every time the lionesses win, we'd never go to work". Asked if the men's team should be learning from the Lionesses, Sir Keir's spokesperson said: "Yes, they should absolutely take a lesson. 'The bottle the women's team showed over the last few games is completely remarkable. I saw a stat that said they only spent one minute at knockout stages ahead, but still managed to come back in every game and get through and obviously win penalty shootouts. 'And I'm sure the men's team will be watching on and taking notes as to how they follow their efforts." On Monday, the team are expected to land back in the UK before heading to a reception at Downing Street hosted by deputy prime minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. The Lionesses are then set for a homecoming open-top bus parade celebration in central London on Tuesday, followed by a ceremony outside Buckingham Palace. Confirming the Downing Street reception, Sir Keir said: 'The Lionesses have once again captured the hearts of the nation. 'Their victory is not only a remarkable sporting achievement, but an inspiration for young people across the country. 'It stands as a testament to the determination, resilience and unity that define this outstanding team. 'I'm delighted that the squad will be welcomed into Downing Street as the whole country marks this historic win and the lasting impact they are creating for the future of the game.' Ms Rayner said it will be 'a privilege to celebrate' with the team, with Ms Peacock adding that the government is 'committed to playing our part to ensure this success translates into lasting change.'
