This morning, I appeared on Good Morning Britain in a live interview about the grooming gangs. Before I went on air, I was told not to mention the race of the perpetrators. I, of course, didn’t listen.
I have now received an apology from the editor.
My interview is below: 👇🏻
Today a group of Muslims prayed next to the Ministry of Defence, facing the Iraq and Afghanistan memorial.
As I have said before, choosing to pray in this way in public is a political act. It is a social statement and, yes, it is an act of domination.
Anybody who understands Islamism understands that the domination of public spaces is part of the modus operandi. It is done so Islamists can show who is in charge - and to show other Muslims and the wider public that the authorities will bend to their will.
There is quite obviously no need to pray here. The decision to do so is symbolic and pointed.
It is not welcome. We have freedom of religion in this country, which is why there are mosques. But we are not a Muslim country and this is not welcome. It should be stopped.
🚨NEW: Rupert Lowe has responded to the UK government’s decision to BAN under 16s from social media 🇬🇧
“Banning teenagers from social media with ludicrous conditions is unworkable, unrealistic and unwanted.
Here’s a mad idea - let parents parent.
Not the state, but mums, dads, grandparents or whoever else.
Restore Britain will always trust the family over big government.”
COMMON SENSE POLITICS 🫡
It is literally insane simultaneously to think that 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote but not mature enough to look at Instagram at 8:30pm. This is comically absurd.
@kwok_phil No graffiti,no litter no stray dogs or cats , no Ferrell youths , no loud or lewd behaviour, no street crime , no intimidation from drunks or druggies , no idiots flying around on e scooters or bikes, no unidentifiable people with their faces covered , style and class everywhere
Here’s the problem. The liberal political class wants us to treat atrocities like Belfast as single, random, isolated incidents. “Yes, it’s horrific, but don’t overreact,” they say. “Let the police do their job. Justice will be delivered. Let’s remain united,” and so on.
But the public can see that such incidents *aren’t* random or isolated. They are, in fact, all the consequence of massive state failure in the area of asylum and immigration. All roads lead back there.
That’s why people are angry.. They are sick of the platitudes that get trotted out after each fresh incident. They don’t want to hear them anymore. They know that the decisions of establishment politicians have brought us to this current pass, and they don’t trust those same politicians to fix things, especially when some of them refuse to even recognise that the public’s anger is justified.
There has been a huge vibe shift in recent years. Imagine - God forbid - there were another 7/7. Does anyone think the public response would be anything like as restrained as it was then? We are in really dangerous territory.
The public don’t want flowers and candles and “Don’t let them divide us.” They want someone who says, “I recognise that the state has failed abjectly. We have allowed far too many people to settle in the country without knowing who they truly are. It has disrupted your communities. Your anger is justified. And I will do everything in my power to put things right.”
Any politician unwilling to articulate that message, fully and sincerely, is effectively sanctioning more years of growing social disharmony and discord. Things cannot heal until those in power recognise the extent of the problem and what it will take to fix it. And, on both counts, most of them don’t.
That’s why the next few years are going to be very, very turbulent.
