UK TAXPAYERS SHOCKED: Iranian Suspect In Israel Embassy Plot Housed For Free

11 May 2025 — British police arrested five Iranians this month, suspecting them of planning a terror attack on the Israeli embassy in London. One of the men, age 40, had lived for over six months in a taxpayer-funded home in Rochdale run by Serco.

Reports say he crossed into the UK illegally from France by boat and then claimed asylum. Neighbors said migrants living there paid nothing for rent or bills — everything was covered by taxpayers.

Terrorism expert Anthony Glees called the Calais boat route a “clear and present danger” to national security. He said warships — not lifeboats — should meet migrants at the border to protect Britain.

Serco has tried using more private homes for asylum seekers instead of expensive hotels. But this plan has raised worries about safety and put more strain on local housing markets already under pressure.

UK RIOTS: Police RESPONSE Sparks Fierce Debate

The report found no evidence of bias, stating that police acted proportionately against those committing violence, including missile throwing and arson. Conservative MP Dame Karen Bradley emphasized the difference between handling violent riots and peaceful protests.

The unrest following the murder led to 246 protests across the UK, with 88 deemed significant. Authorities made 1,804 arrests and charged 1,072 individuals over these events. To accommodate those convicted, the government initiated a scheme to release some prisoners due to overcrowding in jails.

Dame Karen Bradley criticized claims of “two-tier policing,” asserting that organized disorder deserves a strong response compared to non-violent demonstrations. She urged commentators to recognize this distinction instead of spreading misleading narratives about police actions during such events.

Despite these findings, some critics highlight inconsistencies in police responses compared to other recent riots involving different communities. These disparities continue fueling debates about fairness and consistency in law enforcement practices across various incidents in the UK.

METROPOLITAN POLICE Scandal: Officer’s Alleged Extremist Links Exposed

19 October 2024 — Ruby Begum, a 29-year-old police officer of Bangladeshi heritage, is facing a misconduct hearing for allegedly breaking professional standards. The hearing will examine claims that Begum posted “discriminatory and/or offensive comments” on Twitter and possibly misled the vetting process when joining the Metropolitan Police in 2016.

The allegations suggest she failed to disclose ties with a female Jihadi in Syria and showed an interest in extremist teachings. Once praised as a role model during anti-lockdown protests, Begum was put on restricted duties in 2021 and fully suspended by 2022.

Begum’s controversial tweets include remarks about Israel, non-Muslims, and historical events like the September 11th attacks. While some messages were posted before her police service, others continued until at least 2019.

This case is embarrassing for London’s Metropolitan Police as it exposes potential failures in their recruitment process amid other recent scandals involving officers within their ranks.

BRITAIN HALTS Arrests: Chaos Looms Amid Prison Crisis

23 May 2024 — The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) has advised British police to suspend “non-priority arrests” and halt operations that could lead to many arrests, according to the Times of London. The NPCC memo stressed that public protection remains a priority but suggested pausing certain activities to ease pressure on the criminal justice system.

The advice includes not jailing suspects for alleged burglaries if on-the-scene forensics or CCTV reviews are pending. Non-intelligence operations that can be delayed should be postponed. However, large-scale protests and public events should still be prioritized by police forces.

This guidance comes as male prisons face potential overcrowding by June due to judicial delays from COVID-19 lockdowns and barrister strikes. To address this, the government extended an emergency early-release scheme allowing some prisoners, excluding sex offenders and terrorists, to be released up to 70 days early starting Thursday.

Additionally, the government approved delaying court cases, meaning some suspects will be released on bail while awaiting trial rather than being held in custody. The Ministry of Justice has not disclosed how many prisoners have been freed under these measures since their implementation in October.

POLICE CHIEF’S Apology Sparks Outrage: Meeting with Jewish Leaders Set After Controversial Remark

This meeting aims not only to address this particular incident but also serves as an opportunity for law enforcement leaders to reaffirm their commitment towards protecting diverse communities within London, emphasizing inclusivity and respect for all citizens regardless of background or belief system.

The police force’s management of this incident has provoked significant backlash across social media and from community leaders who are calling for accountability and clearer guidance from law enforcement officials.**

ALARMING Surge in ANTISEMITIC Crimes: London Deploys Over 1,000 Officers Ahead of Rally

14 October 2023 — In response to a disturbing increase in antisemitic hate crimes, Scotland Yard has deployed over a thousand officers. This action precedes a pro-Palestinian rally planned for tomorrow. The extent of HAMAS support among London’s Muslim and secular radical populations is yet to be determined.

London’s Muslim community, which makes up about one-sixth of the city’s population, has grown to 1.3 million due to diversity and mass immigration policies by the two main political parties. In contrast, census data shows that the Jewish population has decreased to an estimated 265,000.

Following the deadly HAMAS attack on October 7 that took over 1,000 Jewish lives, numerous protests have erupted. As antisemitic incidents in Britain have escalated since the conflict began, two Jewish schools in London have decided to close until Monday.

Senior Officer Laurence Taylor noted a significant rise in antisemitic crimes compared with last year’s figures during the same period (30 September — 13 October). He mentioned that while Islamophobic incidents have also slightly increased, they are nowhere near as prevalent as the surge in antisemitism.
