This is a bona-fide backdoor into the UK for Iranian agents.
For years I’ve worked to get the “Islamic Centre of England” an indoctrination hub, shut down.
The head of the centre is Iran’s Supreme Leader.
How has the Govt given it visa granting rights?! Preposterous.
As I said in the Telegraph yesterday, the Charity Commission should be given urgent powers to shut it down.
WRN Wales has today raised a serious safeguarding concern with @FAWales and the Chief Executive @NoelMooney13 after being alerted to the presence of a male playing in several Welsh women’s football and walking football teams.

It’s worth contrasting how Singapore just handled its homegrown Islamist radicalization problem with the repeated failures of Germany - and European nations more broadly - to do the same.
Three teenagers were arrested and detained over separate plots to carry out shooting, stabbing and bomb attacks. One of them planned something not unlike Abdul Ballout’s terror attack on the LGBT community. All three had self-radicalised online.
They were detained without trial under the Internal Security Act. There was no need to wait for a completed crime or a full courtroom drama. If the assessment is that someone poses an imminent threat, they are detained. This is preventive, not purely punitive.
Western critics will of course call this illiberal. But look at how European governments have repeatedly failed.
Abdul Ballout was a known Islamist in Berlin. He had tried multiple times to join ISIS. In May 2026 he was convicted of preparing a serious terrorist act of violence and related offences. He received a youth sentence of one year and ten months and was released (!!!). He remained under monitoring, weekly check-ins, phone surveillance and deradicalization sessions with counselors . In other words, he was a known danger, yet he was not kept detained.
Somehow he was still able to rent a van, drive it into a Berlin crowd and then attack people with a machete. One person died and several dozens were injured. Only afterwards did the police finally track him down and shot him. Prior convictions, failed attempts to reach jihad zones, and official flagging as a threat were not enough to keep him locked away.
European systems lean heavily on criminal-law thresholds, youth-sentencing leniency, human-rights constraints on long preventive detention, and the belief that monitoring and therapy can contain the risk. How utterly naive.
Singapore uses broad preventive authority to remove the threat before it becomes an attack, then works on rehabilitating the person. In a world where technology has made it far easier for a young idealist to become radicalized, acquire the know-how to spread terror, and plug into terror networks, stronger early, pre-emptive intervention is the only way.
Europe needs to understand that there is a real cost to treating Islamic radicalization primarily as a matter for ordinary criminal process and hope. Given the problems of mass immigration and weak borders, it is even more imperative for Europe to reconsider its approach.
@Europarl_EN@EP_President If hate has no place why are you not deporting them? We should not show tolerance towards intolerant people who cannot live peacefully in our civilisation.
A WOMAN in a burqa has been given a "British Citizen Award" for ...'empowering young women.' What an absolute joke. Except it's real. The absolute shame of it.
Truly appalling. I wrote about the “Islamic Centre of England” in the Sunday @Telegraph.
This is no ordinary mosque or charity. It operates as the UK office of the Iranian regime’s supreme leader. The situation is far worse than has been reported.
Here are some top lines 1/🧵
L’attentat islamiste qui a frappé la Pride de Berlin rappelle une vérité que certains refusent encore de voir : l’islamisme est une idéologie totalitaire qui mène une guerre contre nos libertés, contre nos démocraties et contre tous ceux qui refusent de se soumettre à son obscurantisme.
Les organisations islamistes, leurs relais, leurs réseaux de recrutement, leurs propagandistes et tous ceux qui justifient ou banalisent cette idéologie barbare doivent être combattus avec une détermination totale.
J’exprime ma pleine et entière solidarité avec les victimes, leurs familles et le peuple allemand.
Despite knowing he was a terrorist, German authorities dealt with Abdul Ballout, the Berlin Pride killer, by sending him on a three-day (spread over six weeks from mid June) 'violence prevention' course.
Here's some of the people who run that course.
@vonderleyen If hate has no place why not deport the followers of anti-western hateful ideologies? That would prove it has no place in our civilisation.
@kajakallas They will succeed if we keep being tolerant towards them. We should only be tolerant to tolerant, civilised people. But at the moment we show these savages suicidal empathy.
