Police detain two men in Manchester for carrying knives as part of Eid outfit

Police say the men were 'educated' and the knives were seized in Manchester

‘It is understood that the men were wearing cultural daggers known as the jambiya, found in Yemeni culture. The blade is worn by men and symbolises the social status and history of the wearer.’

The men in the video are not Sikhs.

The short curved blades (jambiyas) in the video, originate from a specific region in Yemen and are associated with Arab/Islamic culture.

But don’t let the facts, or lack of religious literacy stop you Alex.

I will say nothing about the contents of this video filmed on Wednesday - but you tell me if you feel comfortable around men brandishing these knives openly like this in Britain?

The special exemption must be repealed, whether Sikhs like it or not.

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

I'd be surprised if Reform do this. To go after the Sikhs would be self-defeating - and this 'one law for all' argument cuts against religious liberty.

Also, the kirpan was not used in the attack.

Lowe has made the running on this, but it's one area Reform should not follow.

Justice has been served.

BREAKING @GBNEWS: Seven men, who are all Afghan nationals and refugees, have been charged with 40 offences after an investigation into an alleged grooming gang in Norwich.

Five of the men arrived illegally in Britain by small boat; two by lorry. All of the men have been in the country for several years. One arrived illegally as early as 2020.

The charges relate to two victims, who were in their early-to-mid teens at the time of the alleged offences.

The businessman Claudio Di Giovanni sued @_TheLondoner, @Coramazov and me.

Mrs Justice Steyn has ended the £250k High Court case. She has also struck out the £10k county court Judgment against Cormac, calling it 'plainly an abuse of process'.

Big win for the free press.

Maybe I missed it, but I don’t remember a MET police post when a gurdwara (Sikh temple) in Essen, Germany, got bombed by teenagers who were members of a WhatsApp group called:

‘Supporters of the Islamic Caliphate’.

I was only given four minutes to speak on the King's Speech, so I focused on two-tier attitudes to threats to security and why Labour, especially, always feels more comfortable targeting the 'far right' rather than tackling the more dangerous issue of Islamism. I used the 'tale of two demos' at the weekend to make my point.

In polling on 'net favourability ratings' towards different UK faith groups, Sikhs are the only faith group, who had a higher rating from British Muslim respondents, when compared to the general population.
