[Pat Condell @patcondell]

The residents of Piddington and places like it need to understand that this is just the beginning. The illegal invasion is not going to stop without a radical, and I do mean radical, change of government.
If you voted for any branch of the uniparty - Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat or Green - you voted for this.
There’s no point in being shocked. This was always coming your way.
You invited it with your moral posturing and your refugees welcome platitudes.
You could have said no like the rest of us, but you said yes because it made you feel virtuous in your little bubble of complacency, and now here it is.
The evil you summoned has arrived at your door.

And this is just the beginning.
The globalist uniparty has no intention of stopping the invasion. They’re going to keep flooding the country with dangerous foreign men until there is widespread violence and social unrest, giving them an excuse for a national security emergency and the suspension of everyone’s civil rights, postponing the next election indefinitely. This will be followed by the arming and mobilisation of their imported army of militarily trained savages to quell any attempt at a popular uprising by the native British people.

Sounds implausible, doesn’t it? The current situation would have sounded implausible ten years ago, yet here we are.
Enjoy what you voted for.

How many times have we got to say we dont want any asylum seekers? Approximately 8 billion people would qualify for asylum if they reached the UK. We dont want people from shithole countries bringing their shithole culture to our country and turning it into a shithole.

[Simon Elmer @SimonElmer2022]

Since 2016, the Mayor of London has been Sadiq Khan, a second-generation Pakistani immigrant and devout Muslim. The current Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, is also a Pakistani Muslim. The leader of the Scottish Labour Party, Anas Sarwar, is a Pakistani Muslim. There are currently 26 Muslim Members of Parliament, 4 Muslim members of the Scottish Parliament, including the former First Minister of Scotland, Humza Yousaf. 2 members of the Welsh Parliament are Muslim. The Mayor of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman, is a Muslim. The Mayor of the London Borough of Newham, Rokhsana Fiaz, is a Muslim. 2 London Assembly Members are Muslim. 18 peers in the House of Lords are Muslim. And in 2025, at least 8 ceremonial mayors, who do not wield executive power but whose role is to normalise the Islamisation of Britain, were Muslim.

The UK, however, is not only run by its politicians but also by its civil service and the army of administrators at every level of the state apparatus and civil society. Placing a Muslim in charge of Britain’s capital city for a decade is one very obvious way to implement the Islamisation of Britain. Placing a Muslim in the office of Home Secretary is another. Placing a Muslim at the head of Ofsted is another. But the infiltration of the UK state by Muslims goes far beyond the scores of Muslims who now sit at the head of our councils, in the mayoralties of our cities, in our legislature and in the House of Lords.

It’s largely unknown to the general public, but Muslims have created a network of political, civil, military, legal, police, media, educational, health, financial and charitable bodies working towards the Islamisation of the United Kingdom.

Within the UK’s Government and Civil Service there operate today the Home Office Islamic Network (HOIN), the FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development) Muslim Staff Network, the Civil Service Islamic Society (CSIS), the Civil Service Muslim Network (CSMN) and the Muslim Public Affairs Committee (MPACUK).

Within the UK military there operates the Armed Forces Muslim Association (AFMA).

Within the UK judiciary there operate the Association of Muslim Lawyers (AML), the Muslim Lawyers’ Hub and the Muslim Lawyers Action Group (MLAG).

Within the parallel Sharia judiciary there operate the Islamic Sharia Council (ISC), the Muslim Arbitration Tribunal (MAT) and the Muslim Law (Sharia) Council.

Within the UK’s police forces there operate the National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP), the Association of Muslim Police (AMP) at the Metropolitan Police, the West Yorkshire Association of Muslim Police (AMP), the Scottish Police Muslim Association (SPMA) and the City of London Police Association of Muslim Police (AMP).

Within UK media there operate the BBC Muslim Network, the Channel 4 Muslim Network, the ITV Muslim Staff Network Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM), Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND), the Islam Channel, British Muslim TV, Muslim Television Ahmadiyya International (MTA International), the Ummah Channel, Ahlebait TV and 5Pillars.

Within the UK’s education sector there operate the Muslim Teachers’ Association UK (MTAUK), the Association of Muslim Schools and Institutes (AMSI), the British Muslim Teachers’ Association and the Federation of Student Islamic Societies (FOSIS).

Within the UK’s health sector there operate the National Muslim Staff Network (NMSN) and the NHS Muslim Network.

Within the UK’s charities there operate the Islamic Relief UK, Muslim Hands UK, Muslim Aid, Ummah Welfare Trust (UWT), Muslim Global Relief, the National Zakat Foundation (NZF) and the Muslim Charity UK.

And within the parallel Sharia financial system there operate 5 fully Sharia-compliant banks (Al Rayan Bank, Gatehouse Bank, the Bank of London and the Middle East, United Bank Limited and the Ahil United Bank), as well as 25 conventional banks which offer Sharia finance alongside conventional finance.

Other nation-wide Islamic organisations operating in the UK include the Association of British Muslims (AoBM), the British Muslim Network (BMN), the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB), the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) and the Islamophobia Response Unit.

In my book I look at how these various Muslim organisations and their financial backers in the Islamic world work together to lobby the UK Government and Members of Parliament to write and pass legislation that furthers the Islamisation of Britain.

The most recent example of the influence of such Muslim groups on UK legislation is the UK Government’s adoption of the definition of anti-Muslim hatred and Islamophobia written by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims. An organisation composed exclusively of Muslims, including 21 Muslim MPs and 5 Muslim Peers, this APPG is funded by the Aziz Foundation, a charity founded in 2015 by Asif Aziz, a Malawi-born Muslim property developer and billionaire whose company, Criterion Capital, has investments worth £6 billion in Britain, and who, since 2024, has been a tax exile in Abu Dhabi.

Another indication of how these Muslim organisations operate closer to the corridors of power — indeed, with the offices stationed off them — is the Civil Service Muslim Network, which lists, among its stated aims, the following:

•Represent, support, connect and champion Muslim civil servants across government.
•Generate a better understanding of Islam within the Civil Service and challenge discrimination and misconceptions.
•Create a network of senior allies who recognise the lived experience of Muslim colleagues and help improve religious literacy and respect.

Doubtless I’m not the only British person who cannot understand why such a network should be required in the UK if Britain is still a secular society rather than one, as I believe, that is already operating under aspects of Sharia law modelled on its implementation in Pakistan; or why it should not only be tolerated but given a place in our civil service, except as a platform — one of many built in Britain and largely with the taxes of the British people — for the Islamisation of Britain.

As for Muslim organisations operating within our police forces and legal system, it is contrary to the principle of police being officers of UK law, the adjudication of courts over sentencing under that law, and of everyone in Britain, irrespective of their religion, being equal before the law. The two-tier policing of the British people, the decades-long cover-up of the Muslim rape-gang network operating in 149 constituencies that we know of across Britain, and the gross travesties of justice handed down by these courts to Muslim rapists, murderers and terrorists is further confirmation that the UK is, indeed, already operating under Sharia law.

Like the UK’s 85 known Sharia Courts, which oversee child marriages in contravention of UK law, these Muslim associations, Muslim societies, Muslim committees, Muslim councils, Muslim non-governmental organisations, Muslim APPGs and Muslim networks have created a civil service, legal system and police force that operates within, but independent from and contrary to, the laws of the UK, which they seek to change through political lobbying of our Parliament and Government. Again, this is consistent with Sections 4 and 14 of Pakistan’s Enforcement of Sharia Act, 1991, according to which ‘Laws [are] to be interpreted in the light of Sharia, and ‘The State shall take adequate measures for the Islamisation of the judicial system.’

Finally — although this list doesn’t approach exhausting the influence of Islam in British society — in addition to these organisations there exists within Britain a terrorist arm with links to the Muslim Brotherhood. This is a transnational Sunni Muslim organisation that was founded in Egypt in 1928 to promote Islam and Sharia Law.

Fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood known to be currently operating in Britain include the Cambridge Education and Training Center Ltd., IMA6INE Ltd., Wembley Tree Ltd., Waslaforall, Future Graduates Ltd., Yas for Investment and Real Estate, Holdco UK Properties Limited and Nafel Capital Partners, all of which have recently been proscribed by the United Arab Emirates as terrorist groups. Indeed, most of the organisations I’ve listed here are linked by varying degrees of separation to the Muslim Council of Britain and the Muslim Association of Britain, which themselves have links to the Muslim Brotherhood.

It is a measure of how far Britain’s Islamisation has advanced that this organisation operates freely in the UK while being banned as a terrorist organisation in many Muslim countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Syria, Jordan, Kenya, Bahrain, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and the United Arab Emirates, as well as in Russia.

Extraordinarily, in January 2026 the UAE announced that it was excluding UK universities from its approved list for state scholarships, citing the risk of Emirati citizens being radicalised by the Muslim Brotherhood operatng on British campuses. Universities where networks linked to the Muslim Brotherhood are reported to operate include the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London, Queen Mary University of London, the University of Birmingham, the University of Manchester, the University of Leeds, the University of Bradford and the University of Newcastle. The same month, the US Department of State proscribed chapters of the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt, Lebanon and Palestine as designated terrorist organisations.

And there are consequences to harbouring and funding Islamic terrorists in the very country against which they launch their attacks. Six years ago, in 2020, there were 43,000 people on MI5’s terrorist watch list. After the mass migration of half a million Muslims to Britain and more than two-and-a-half years of weekly protests against the war in Gaza, the numbers can only have grown since then.

In 2024, Islamic terrorists accounted for 80% of UK police force’s counter-terror caseload. As of 31 March that year, 63% of prisoners in the UK arrested on terrorist-related charges were Islamic terrorists. Muslims have been responsible for 94% of all terrorism deaths, and 88% of terrorism-inflicted injuries, in Britain over the last 25 years. In the last 10 years, the percentages are even higher. One would never guess it from the relentless references to the threat from the mythical ‘far-Right’ by the UK Government and media, but MI5 today lists Islamic terrorism as ‘the most significant threat to the UK by volume’.

As anyone who has lived in Britain since 9/11 knows, this hasn’t happened overnight, and we have repeatedly ignored every warning to the contrary, as we continue to do today. In 2006, when the UK was led by the New Labour Government of Tony Blair and net migration to Britain had increased to over a quarter a million a year, the think-tank, Policy Exchange, published a report titled ‘When Progressives Treat With Reactionaries’, in which it argued that the British Foreign Office had already, in effect, become a front for The Muslim Brotherhood. Twenty years later, they have been proven right. Today, the UK is run by Muslims.

@acambridgediary 2023?..

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

Imagine you woke up in Britain the day after 9/11 and heard this.

25 years from now you will be living with wide open broken borders.

Your government will know it is letting convicted Islamists and their supporters to enter Britain illegally, but it will carry on regardless.

You will be living with unprecedented mass migration from the Third World despite never voting for it, or ever asking for it.

The Muslim population will increase 151% — or 2.5 million people.

Surveys will show younger Muslims are far more radical than their parents and grandparents.

Between 30 and 40% will express open support for Islamist groups like Hamas.

1 in 8, equivalent to 500,000 Muslims, will show support for Islamic State — a successor to al-Qaeda.

You will spend the next 25 years asking for immigration control and restrictions yet nobody in Westminster will respect you.

Your government will impose all this while having absolutely no strategy at all for integrating newcomers.

Even the word “integration” will be considered “racist” by parts of the British Left.

Your taxpayer-funded regulators will let Islamists hijack the charity sector, and more than a few schools.

Nobody in the established parties will ever develop the courage to ban Muslim Brotherhood, or root out other Islamist networks.

In fact, even worse, your own leaders will impose a definition of “anti-Muslim hostility”, almost certainly influenced by Islamist extremists, to control what YOU can say about Islam in Britain.

At the same time, your own state will roll out a range of Orwellian measures — hate laws, non-crime hate incidents, social media regulation, censorship — to ensure that any opposition to all this is controlled, if not squashed.

Those who ask questions, those who complain, will be denounced as “far right” or “extremist”.

Home Office guidance, official state guidance, will warn that mainstream conservatives and free speech activists are “on a pathway to terrorism”.

There will be more than 80 Sharia courts operating in Britain.

Female genital mutilation will be widespread. And the state will be paying welfare benefits to polygamous families.

Senior Hamas and al-Qaeda supporters will be given taxpayer-funded council flats in the heart of your capital city.

Islamists and their families will live on the welfare state, funded by you. They will call this “welfare Jihad”.

There will be an estimated 20,000-30,000 Islamists living in Britain.

Muslim sectarianism or clan-based voting will be mainstream, enabled by Labour and Green parties that would rather take votes than ask what is the national interest.

The state will not clamp down on marches in support of Hamas but it will aggressively clamp down on protests against mass migration by working class native Brits.

A British government, a Labour government, will be praised twice by Islamists overseas after rewarding Islamist terror and creating new incentives for it by recognising Palestinian statehood as Jewish hostages still lie in tunnels, and launching an economic boycott on Israel — the only democracy in the Middle East.

I could go on.

But just think about all that.

I wonder what you would have thought the day after 9/11.

[Alastair Hilton @London_W4]

The biggest difference between 9th September 2001 and now, is that 25 years ago, our government were on the side of the British people, to keep us safe and not on the side of the Muslim terrorists. In the 25 years since, we’ve seen Muslims attack us in cars, vans, bombs, stabbings and beheadings until we’ve arrived at this point where the British government are shipping in hundreds of terrorists a day, jailing anyone who speaks out and doing everything that the Muslims ask for. Proof that terrorism has worked for Muslims.

@thespafixer @YesterdaysBrit1 Yep, I'd say it was a Ventora... with the twin headlights and probably a 3.3 ltr 6 cylinder engine under the bonnet 🚗👍

[Simon Elmer @SimonElmer2022]

Who are the people being escorted into Britain by the UK lifeboat services under the protection of UK police forces and housed in UK hotels paid for by the UK taxpayer, and why are they being brought here? Let’s start with how many of them are coming.

• As of August this year, 16,391 people have crossed the English Channel or arrived by other routes to Britain illegally.
• In 2025, 41,472 people came to Britain illegally by the same routes.
• In 2024, it was 36,816 people.
• In 2023 it was 29,437 people.
• In 2022 it was 45,755, the highest number since figures first began to be collected in 2018.
• In 2021, when the invasion of Britain, not only across the English channel but through UK airports, began in earnest, it was 28,526 people

In the nearly 9 years since 2018, therefore, 209,024 people have come to Britain illegally. To get a cross-section of where these illegal immigrants are coming from at any one time, in the 12 months to June 2025, Afghanis made up the largest number of illegal arrivals (6,360), followed by Eritreans (5,975), Iranians (4,322), Syrians (3,935), Sudanese (3,770), Vietnamese (2,424), Somalians (2,211), Yemeni (2,194), Iraqis (1,900) and Turks (1,543), with a further 7,812 from other countries (Albania, Kuwait, etc.) and 863 unidentified or not recorded. With the exception of Vietnam, these are all Muslim countries.

Over the same period 12-month period, 111,984 illegal immigrants claimed asylum in the UK. In the previous 12 months it was 99,700. One of the questions our government and media has avoided answering is why — if these are refugees — 83% of these illegal immigrants are male, and 67% are between 25 and 39 years old, or what has come to be called ‘fighting age’. As with legal immigration to the UK, these figures have increased dramatically since 2021, with 39,124 people crossing the English Channel illegally between 2018 and 2021. And yet, once again, 87.4% of these were male, and 75% were between 19 and 39 years old.

In Somalia, the average number of children per woman is 6.01. In Afghanistan it is 4.84 children. In Yemen it is 4.5. In Sudan it is 4.13. In Eritrea it is 3.58. In Iraq it is 3.33. In Syria it is 2.7. And in Iraq, Yemen and Syria, under the barbarisms of Sharia law, men can have up to four wives; so each of the men invading Britain could have over a dozen children they have abandoned in their home country.

The other question unanswered by our government and media is why, if these are refugees who have fled war in their home countries, they have travelled through numerous Muslim countries that are not at war, including Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, etc., and the entire length and breadth of Europe to get to Britain, a non-Muslim country?

According to the UK Government, this Sunday, 6 September, 2026, 624 illegal immigrants landed in Britain in 8 boats, but the number of men invading us in a single day has been far higher. Exactly a year ago, on 6 September, 2025, 1,101 immigrants crossed into Britain illegally on small boats from Calais, which was the highest number in a single day in 2025. Even that, though, wasn’t the highest number ever, which occurred on 3 September, 2022, when 1,305 immigrants crossed into Britain illegally.

However — and this is what the media’s focus on so-called ‘small-boat’ crossings has obscured in the perception of the British public — even if this number of invaders, the highest ever in a single day, arrived every day of the year (making 476,325 illegal arrivals) it would still be only a half of how many are arriving here legally, not on the beaches of Dover and Portsmouth but through the airports of Heathrow, Birmingham, Manchester and Bradford. And in actual fact, the highest annual number of illegal crossings was 45,755 in 2022 — although that was closely rivalled last year, when 41,472 crossed into Britain.

Net legal migration from non-EU countries in 2023, the highest number so far in a single year, was 1,005,000. That’s 2,753 economic migrants from non-EU countries, overwhelmingly from South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, settling in Britain every day of the year, Monday to Sunday, day after day, 19,326 every week. Even in 2025, when net migration from outside the EU dropped to 350,000, the lowest it’s been since 2020, there were 959 economic immigrants settling in Britain every day of the year, nearly as many as the highest number of illegal immigrants (1,101) ever to arrive in a single day. They overwhelmingly come from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Ghana, none of which are at war.

In reality, however, to differentiate these two means of invasion as ‘legal’ and ‘illegal’ is inaccurate, because it is clear that, with a navy, army, air force and special services at its disposal, if the UK Government wanted to stop the ‘illegal’ arrivals they could do so. Instead, not only are our lifeboat services, as we saw this weekend, escorting these fake asylum seekers to our shores, but the Government is then conveying them by coaches — usually, as we saw this weekend, under the cover of night — to hotels and other accommodation paid for by the British taxpayer. Here they are given free pocket money, three cooked-meals a day, free medical care, free access to doctors and dentistry and other benefits that an increasing number of the British people cannot afford to pay for or to which, with the increased burden on our defunded state services caused by the burden of millions of immigrants, we cannot gain access.

In contrast to these luxuries paid for by the British taxpayer, the average time for a Briton waiting for a council home in London is 27 years, and the average time across England is 7 years. In August 2025, there were 6.24 million Britons waiting for consultant-led care by the National Health Service; with the average waiting time 13.4 weeks, around 2.82 million waiting for over 18 weeks, and 180,300 waiting more than a year. In contrast, the NHS has accepted multi-million-pound contracts from the UK Government to send doctors on home visits to hotels housing illegal immigrants.

For the Britons whose taxes pay for these visits, there are 13 million people in England — 28% of the adult population — waiting to see a dentist, including 5.6 million people who tried and failed to get an appointment in the past 2 years; 5.4 million who didn’t try because they thought they wouldn’t get one; and 1.25 million who were put off by the cost. In total, there are about 780,000 people on waiting lists for an NHS dentist.

Finally, while illegal immigrants who have contributed, and will contribute, nothing to the GDP of the UK are receiving three cooked-meals a day, in 2024/25 there were 2.89 million emergency food parcels distributed to 4% of the entire population of Britain, of which 1.02 million went to children. In 2023, at the height of the invasion, illegal immigrants housed in UK hotels were costing the British taxpayer over £8 million a day, or nearly £3 billion per year. In 2025 the cost dropped to 5.77 million a day and 2.1 billion a year. And of the 171,200 illegal immigrants to Britain who had been granted ‘refugee’ status by December 2024, 112,500, 66%, were claiming Universal Credit benefits, all paid for by the British taxpayer.

The widely-parroted claim, therefore, that the collapse of Britain’s public services has nothing to do with illegal immigrants arriving in Britain by small boat is not corroborated by the facts; but is, in fact, a Left-wing myth disseminated by the ideologues of replacement immigration, both the woke-Left and Muslims.

In reality, the men landing unopposed on our shores are refugees in name only, yet they are lavished with every luxury the UK Government can wring out of the impoverished British taxpayer. Once stationed across Britain, they are free to rape our women and children with impunity and to assault and murder our men while we, as we saw this weekend, are arrested by our own police forces for trying to stop them or daring even to protest against the invasion of our country. So what, then, have these 200,000 fighting-age Muslim men been brought here at such immense cost to the British people to do?

Given their age, gender, religion, countries of origin, what in many cases appears to be their military training, and their treatment in Britain, it is clear that they have been brought here for a very different reason than the economic migrants. It was only thanks to a data leak that we learned last year that 24,000 Afghani soldiers have been secretly resettled in Britain. Is it so unlikely that the other so-called ‘refugees’ are any different? In effect — and, I believe, in intention — this is a Muslim army of ‘irregular’ troops stationed across Britain in military barracks emptied of British troops, as they have been in Piddington, Crowborough, Bicester, Barnham, Napier, Wethersfield, Inverness and numerous other military sites. I cannot see any other reason for their presence here, therefore, other than to enforce the Islamisation of Britain by acting as a trained militia in the event of a mass uprising of the British people against the invasion and conquest of our country.

It’s an already observable phenomenon that almost every security guard in every public and privately-owned building in Britain is a foreign national; and although their origins and nationality are impossible to determine, I would guess that they have been placed in such positions by the same organisations and companies that sponsored their transportation here as unskilled, low-paid workers on Migrant Workers Programmes. The same thing is happening in our police forces, which on the excuse of meeting extra-legal Equity, Diversity and Inclusion quotas have for some time now been openly advertising positions exclusively for candidates from so-called ‘ethnic minorities’, even if that means, as we discovered earlier this year, recruiting African child rapists. The same is happening in our security services, which this year advertised internships exclusively for non-White candidates.

Behind its woke vocabulary, this is a programme for the recruitment of hostile foreigners with no allegiance to the British people into positions of authority over the British people. This is being implemented in our government, parliament, civil service, secret services, law courts, police forces, city halls, councils and every other public institution in the UK. What we witnessed on the beaches of Dover and Portsmouth this weekend is only the midway point of a programme for the demographic replacement of the British people in our homeland that continues long after these invaders land and whose goal is the conquest of Britain.

Britain is already an occupied country under foreign control; and unless we rise up now and overthrow this government, parliament, civil service, police force and the deep state of Islamic organisations that are overseeing the Islamisation of Britain, one day soon we will find ourselves hostages in our own country.

Familiarity has numbed us to the sheer weirdness of what we are doing. A normal country treats its borders as sacrosanct. For hundreds of years, we defended our waters with broadsides and cutlasses.
Now, we offer a maritime taxi service to criminals who are seeking to break in to our country.
What a strange hill on which to die. The Left is not just destroying itself electorally; it is undermining our democratic order.
And all for what? To keep importing lawless young men with no claim on our nationality who are already in a safe country? My masters are you mad?

[Alastair Hilton @London_W4]

This month’s Prime Minister Andy Burnham @andyburnham has just announced he’s increasing foreign aid to 0.7% of GDP, which is £21 billion per year. Let me put that in context for you. The average amount of income tax paid per year by basic rate taxpayers in the UK is £2,700. So that means that nearly 8 million taxpayers in the UK are working all year ONLY to give their wages to foreign governments. There are 30 million basic rate taxpayers in the UK, so one in four people that you see working in restaurants or pubs, nurses, cleaners and many more are paying all of their tax to foreign countries. Countries like Pakistan that can afford nuclear weapons, to India that can afford a space programme, to China that can afford to buy the world, to Somalia that doesn’t have a government, only warlords. Etc etc etc etc etc. One in eight British basic rate taxpayers are paying all of their money not to schools in this country. Not for hospitals in this country, nor to fix the roads, nor anything whatsoever in Britain. Every penny goes abroad. Eight million people here giving their hard earned money to the British government who then give every penny away. Every single penny. So, if you’ve ever wondered why things aren’t improving in this country and wonder what happens to the money you’ve made from your toil and your sleepless nights of wondering how you’ll pay the next bill, that’s what happens to it. 8 million of you are working for foreign governments. Think about that.
