NHS surgeon Dr Ranjeet Brar was arrested after giving a speech saying Israel should be “wiped off the face of the map”. Here he clarifies that to make “amends” those “infested” with Zionism will leave and he’s ok with that. Nasty man.

Historic Durham University has been accused of blatant anti-white discrimination over its new “Asian Access” scheme. British Asian state-school pupils who attend a free summer school will get a guaranteed university offer, typically two grades lower than the standard requirement. Asian pupils already have the highest acceptance rate of any group (51.4% vs 29.8% for white British students). Reform MP Robert Jenrick: “This is a two-tier system. It is bizarre to lower grades for a group that already outperforms white British students.” Critics say it’s social engineering that punishes high-achieving white kids to hit diversity targets. Meritocracy is dead at Durham.

In these deeply unstable times, our country's ability to feed itself is vital. And yet England is now the only country in Europe that does not use its farm payment scheme to support its farmers to produce food. I'm urging the Prime Minister to get serious about food security.

In March 2022, police in Lancashire found a boy on a bus carrying a knife. He told them, smiling, that he wanted to stab someone. So, of course, they declined to arrest him and drove him home. They did not search his house. Had they done so, they would have found that he had purchased seeds to manufacture ricin - an extremely potent toxin and a biological weapon, as any Vince Gilligan aficionados reading this will know - and had downloaded terrorist material onto his computer. The plod treated it, in the language of the report, as a "safeguarding issue." Between 2019 and 2024, this boy was referred to the Prevent counter-terrorism programme three times. Three times, the referral was closed. Not once did it reach the Channel panel, the body that is supposed to exist for precisely this purpose. Social care opened his case and closed it again, couldn't be arsed. Then they opened it again and closed it again; still couldn't be arsed. At last, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services assessed him and concluded - in writing, and in a clinical report - that the risk he posed to others was "none." That was on July 23rd 2024. The boy's name was Axel Rudakubana. Six days later, on the July 29th 2024, he walked into a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on Hart Street in Southport and murdered Bebe King, aged six; Elsie Dot Stancombe, aged seven; and Alice da Silva Aguiar, aged nine. Ten other children and two adults were stabbed. The inquiry published yesterday finds, formally, that all three children were unlawfully killed and that the attack was preventable (interestingly did not, it would appear, conclude that the attack was a racial hate crime, but that is a matter for another day). Sir Adrian Fulford's report runs to sixty-seven recommendations. He describes a "merry-go-round" of referrals, assessments, case closures and hand-offs in which risk information was "lost or diluted" between and within agencies, and in which multiple professionals used the boy's autism diagnosis as an explanation and fob-off-of-choice for behaviour that was, plainly, escalating violence and complete incipient insanity. His parents, the report finds, "created significant obstructions" to every agency that attempted to engage with their son. Quelle surprise. Every single institution that existed to prevent the cold-blooded murder of young British girls -the police, Prevent, social care, mental health services - had this kid's name in a file. Several of them had it in multiple files. A child told police officers to their faces that he wanted to stab someone, and they gave him a lift home, patted him on the head, and probably told him to calm down. And the system's answer, as it always is, will be a review. New guidelines that punish no one culpable and piss off the reasonably law-abiding. Performatively solemn undertakings, perhaps live on the news in a nice low-visibility timeslot, that MISTAKES WERE MADE and LESSONS WILL BE LEARNED; which is the phrase-pair the British state reaches for when Oops-It's-Killed-People-Again and would like terribly to be seen to be acting in an appropriately solemn manner without raising the appropriate hell and putting the culpable individuals in jail. After all, the culpable are its friends and colleagues. Three girls are dead; murder was the means, but even that, in this case, was just the product of British state infrastructure, and a system that has made a settled institutional practice of not acting on what it knows.

At Westminster Magistrates' Court. None of the cases from Charing Cross Police Station have appeared. No reason was given. "It's almost the default position," says the judge. Some good news: one defendant has appeared for their case. But they don't speak English and the Farsi interpreter hasn’t turned up so it won't go ahead. The judge moves down the list to the 15th case that was meant to happen today, but still no one is ready. Almost the entire morning has been wasted. Court adjourned.

🇿🇦🇺🇸 Gunther Eagleman nailed it: Calls to “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer” are still happening in South Africa, and ignoring the brutal farm attacks is straight-up tragic. As with many things, the far left chooses to look the other way on these crimes.
