Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

The coal-fired power plants in Germany are profitable to run again amid surging electricity demand and a plunge in European carbon prices.

Net Zero meets reality... #CostOfNetZero



People born in just four countries - Somalia, Jamaica, Bangladesh and Nigeria - occupy a combined 104,567 social homes in London. There are 70,000 homeless households in London. Is it fair to give immigrants social housing ahead of homeless families?













Civil war in Britain is inevitable. Just a question of when.


I wonder how most Brits feel when they hear Jews say they no longer feel safe in the UK?
