A Palestinian violently expelled from their home during the Nakba cannot return. But as a British Jew, I can move to Israel and become a citizen.

That is racism.

🚨 Muslims Taking Over the UK?

An important message from Shah Lalon Amin, group director of award-winning Delhi 6 street food group, who in 2023 won the Curry King title at the inaugural Nation's Curry Awards.

“I never thought I’d have to write this. But I keep seeing people say Muslims are trying to take over the UK, bring in Sharia law, or push the country toward civil war. And I know some of that fear feels real. So I’m speaking plainly, not to argue, not to attack, just to bring this back to reality.

This is not a Muslim-majority country. It is a parliamentary democracy and a country with Christian heritage. Laws are made by elected representatives. Muslims make up around 6–7% of the population in a country of roughly 70 million people. There is no legal, political, or demographic pathway for replacing British law with any religious law. That isn’t secretly unfolding. It isn’t slowly building. It isn’t a hidden long-term plan.

The average Muslim in Britain does not spend their time plotting political change. There are no secret strategy meetings. No takeover conversations. No coordinated agenda. And no, we don’t have some secret WhatsApp group discussing who’s arriving by boat next week. The only WhatsApp groups we have are about exam results, family gossip, and who’s bringing dessert for Ramadan.

When Muslims get together, the conversations are painfully ordinary. Football results. Who’s top of the league. Ronaldo vs Messi debates. The cost of living. Mortgage rates. Trump being unpredictable. Children’s school reports. Business worries. Holiday plans. During Ramadan, it’s fasting and food. That’s the reality. That’s because we are British, our daily lives look very similar to the average person in this country.

What people call “Sharia courts” in the UK are religious councils that mostly deal with marriage and divorce paperwork or mediation. They cannot override British courts. They cannot enforce criminal punishments. They cannot replace Parliament. If anything conflicts with UK law, UK law wins every single time. It’s no different in principle from Jewish Beth Din courts that handle religious matters within British law. Religious arbitration exists under the legal system. It does not replace it.

Yes, many asylum arrivals are young men. Dangerous journeys are often made by the strongest family member first so they can seek safety and claim asylum and if approved, reunite with their families legally. This pattern has been seen throughout migration history.

Wanting secure borders is reasonable. Wanting efficient processing is reasonable. Criminal behaviour should be punished. But that’s immigration policy, not proof of a coordinated religious invasion.

Sometimes I hear people say, “We want our country back,” or “We just want to protect our country.” I understand that feeling. Wanting safety, stability, and a sense of identity isn’t wrong. But Britain hasn’t been taken. It hasn’t been stolen. It’s still here. Its laws, institutions, culture, and democracy are intact. Protecting a country doesn’t mean hating your neighbours, it means upholding fairness, rule of law, and shared values.

There is no secret Muslim lobby running Westminster. British Muslims are not politically unified, do not vote as one bloc, and do not answer to a central authority. Most British Muslims are doing what everyone else is doing: working, paying taxes, raising children, worrying about bills, hoping their kids succeed, wanting safe streets and a stable country. We don’t want to change Britain into something else. We are part of Britain.

You can want law and order. You can want borders controlled. You can want your country protected. That’s fair.

But if anti-Muslim panic exists on your screen and nowhere in your real life, that’s not society—that’s an algorithm selling you fear.” 🇬🇧

@allenanalysis @cspan OK, thank you for your call Mr Barron. Next on the line we have a Mr Tonald Drump. Mr Drump, you're also very disappointed with this news, please tell us why...

@sportslaw_uk @J83332James @UKverifried @bhatti_saqib Crikey, fair enough that was generous! Unsurprisingly, given the size of the financial hole it looks like tightening up the scholarships wasn't enough.

[Swis Chrales @Swis_Chrales]

@sportslaw_uk @J83332James @UKverifried @bhatti_saqib As a parent of a child in Year 8 at MSM, with a 5% sports scholarship and a 5% academic scholarship, I can assure you those are the most recent figures. I can't speak for historic scholarships, but we had 5% per scholarship for 2 years.

[Swis Chrales @Swis_Chrales]

@sportslaw_uk @J83332James @UKverifried @bhatti_saqib I think generous is a bit of a reach. A 5% discount is not likely to be a significant contributor to the financial shortfall.

@JesuitsBritain I'd be interested to hear the views of the Jesuits in Britain on the urgent situation whereby Mount St Mary's College independent school has suddenly closed, leaving approximately 600 children without a school in September.

BBC News, "What happened to the 20 recommendations from the child abuse inquiry that were given to the Conservative government?"

Sarah Champion, "Nothing happened"

BBC News, "Why is Chris Philp sounding so exasperated when he was part of the last gov?"

Sarah Champion, "One can only assume he's in opposition now and is trying to make a political point out of this, which I find distasteful"

"We ought to be angry at the victims and survivors who has been let down"

It's insane. They just keep annihilating Lebanese border villages, and the only difference from the pre-ceasefire days is that now nobody is bothering them while they carry out the mass destruction.

I legitimately believe Elon Musk may be going mad. I'm a Musk biographer who has been tracking his online behavior for the last two years—and given that he's admitted to all of mental illness, heavy drug use, and crippling stress, it is now reasonable to fear he is deeply unwell.
