This is unbelievable. A travesty of justice.
One of the worst terrorist attacks in Europe was by Islamists at the Bataclan Theatre in Paris in November 2015.
Two men stormed the 1,500 person theatre where a concert was in progress. They fired indiscriminately at people, then hunted them down as people cowered in offices and cupboards. They even executed those who lay on the floor pretending to be dead.
130 people died that day. Hundreds were injured.
Mohammed Bakkali is a Moroccan-Belgian who was behind this attack (and the others that took place that night). He rented safe houses and provided cars for the Islamic State cell. He knew exactly what was happening and facilitated it.
In the 2022 trial in Paris he was sentenced to 30 years for his role.
And now comes the kicker.
When he was extradited from Belgium to face trial, there was a condition that he serve any sentence in a Belgium prison.
He has served 4 years and on 11 May the Belgium court granted him the right to leave six times for 36 hours each. In fact, it then came out that he has already had several day releases since 2025.
They cite his good behaviour and rehabilitation.
In Belgium, some prisoners only serve 1/3 of their sentence. Looks like for a Muslim who colluded in a heinous terrorist attack it is even less.
The French are furious. And rightly so.
I was confident I could of played a major part this summer for my country after the season I’ve had. I’ve been left shocked and gutted by the decision.
I’ve loved nothing more than putting that shirt on and representing my country over the years.
I wish the players, all the best this summer 🏴
Can anyone put me in touch with Henry Nowak' family?
The fact police left this young man die because they heard the word "racism" is revolting!
These are the same cowardly lack of actions that allowed rape gangs to act with impunity!
My DMs are open.
Has any action been taken against the police officers who handcuffed this boy and made him bleed to death in the street?
Who are they?

The Netherlands town of Loosdrecht tonight.
Riot police baton locals in the head and set dogs onto them for opposing 110 unvetted invaders being dumped in their community.
🚨BREAKING: Leaked Email reveals Lord Hermer - A close personal friend of Keir Starmer and Attorney General - LED a SMEAR CAMPAIGN against BRITISH ARMED FORCES
In the email it is said that they wanted to put FAKE ATROCITY STORIES OUT even if they weren't true
Wanting 'wriggle room' to not be legally held accountable
This is honestly DISGUSTING
Hermer and Starmer previously tried to get compensation for Iraqi's whose claims were FALSE
Starmer is a traitor
So is Hermer
🚨Keir Starmer gave his full St. George’s Day speech without saying the word “England” once.
Instead he attacked people who “seek to divide us” and create a “toxic culture of hatred.”
On England’s own day. The erasure is deliberate.
Keir Starmer has used St George's Day to attack people who fly the English flag.
He accuses them of hijacking the flag to spread hate and brands it “plastic patriotism”.
On England’s own national day, the Prime Minister is openly condemning ordinary patriots.
This man truly despises traditional Britain.
