British Man Jailed For 2 Years Over Stickers As PM Whines About "Democracy" - "Sam Melia, who has a young daughter and a wife 8 months pregnant with their second child, is behind bars after a judge ruled he had ‘incited racial hatred’ by distributing the stickers... The stickers included the phrases “reject white guilt,” “It’s okay to be white” and “love your nation”... Meanwhile, non-whites who racially abuse police officers to their faces receive no jail time whatsoever... the same judge gave a man who was caught in possession of child sex images no jail time... While this was all unfolding, mobs of pro-Palestinian protesters were free to roam the streets of London engaging in any obscenities they liked, including open support for terror groups, with virtually no consequences.  For example, two women who displayed parachute images in support of Hamas jihadists who slaughtered innocent people on October 7th walked free with no punishment... Meanwhile, unelected Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was busy whining about democracy being under threat from the “far-right” after someone outside of the establishment, George Galloway, was democratically elected in a by-election... while the country is going to shit, at least it’s going to shit under the most diverse government ever."

The Persecution of Sam Melia: Arrested, Convicted, and Imprisoned for Stickers - "“Britain is no longer a free country.” Such is the rash conclusion being drawn from the case of Sam Melia—an anti-immigration activist who late last week was sentenced to two years in prison for “inciting racial hatred.” His offence? Making and distributing stickers with slogans like “We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066” and “Stop mass immigration.” Other tags included “Reject white guilt,” “Stop anti-white rape gangs,” and “Love your nation.”  Really, the verdict that Britain has ceased to be free is much too hasty. It would be truer to say that Britain has ceased to be free for a certain kind of person: namely, those of us whose ancestors built the country and who, owing to this heritage, have no other place in the world to call home.  Everyone else, of course, stands a much better chance of reading Milton’s Areopagitica (should they care to do so) and concluding that its principles still reign in the birthplace of the poet who wrote it. It may even occur to foreigners residing in Britain, given some of the things they are able to get away with as guests in this country, that England’s love for the known rules of ancient liberty has mutated, rather conveniently for them, into an indulgent cult of pathological altruism.  The malicious vigour with which the British state pursued Melia is even more disgraceful when considered alongside other cases. Bahar Mustafa, born in London but of Turkish Cypriot ancestry, was treated with kid-gloves by the Metropolitan Police in 2015 after posting “kill all white men” on her social media. Far from throwing Mustafa behind bars, all charges against this violent-minded, anti-white agitator were summarily dropped.   There is also the more recent example of Abdul Ezedi, the Afghan illegal immigrant who just a few weeks ago hurled acid in the face of a woman, inflicting life–changing injuries, on the streets of Clapham. It then came to light that Ezedi had been found guilty of sexual assault and indecent exposure back in 2018, but within a matter of years—roughly the same amount of time Melia will spend in prison, to be precise—he was granted asylum for pretending to be a Christian... Melia’s case is best understood as the latest proof of our descent into ‘anarcho-tyranny.’ As I wrote recently, this refers to a sinister state of affairs whereby, far from living in a law-governed country, the most basic rules are gleefully broken by anti-social delinquents. At the same time, their civilised betters are forcibly entangled in an ever-expanding web of dictates, constraints, and speech codes.  When the regime’s agents will behave like anarchists and when they will behave like tyrants is so easily predictable in advance as to be child’s play. If one of their accredited victim groups commits a crime, the approach will be plodding, permissive, and as pathetic as the law can be diluted to allow; if one of these same victim group’s claim to sanctity is felt to be threatened by a certified oppressor, the approach will be swift, despotic, and as severe as the law can be stretched to authorise.   The formula is no more complicated than this. Sam Melia, along with his heavily pregnant wife who flanked him outside the courthouse prior to sentencing, is simply its latest victim. Whether we like Melia, his apparent views, or his taste in historical memorabilia is an irrelevant distraction.   ‘Under a supposedly Conservative government of fourteen years’ standing!’ may be the cliché of our age (particularly among right-wing doom-scrollers), but the persecution of Melia should be remembered by everyone who professes to care about free speech when the Tories seek re-election later this year. Difficult cases, not easy ones, are the real tests of principle... Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made the coward’s move of putting the grave, glaring, and increasingly emboldened threat of Islamism on a par with the amorphous, notoriously shape-shifting spectre of ‘far-right extremism.’... Rather than clean up their own mess, it has become the habit of our political class to externalise the costs onto us. The result in this case? A less free, more heavily surveilled society in which our vindictive colonisers and those of us who resent their presence here are jointly classed as dangerous ‘extremists,’ both equally liable to inflame the ‘community relations’ which are at other times hailed as our greatest strength. Diversity, it turns out, requires not only a formidable battery of legal reinforcements, but a culture of schizophrenia, for its hidden treasures to be made manifest.  Frankly, almost none of what gets tarred with the ‘far-right’ brush would even exist without the treachery of our political elites."

Even the far right must have the right to free speech - "Far-right activist Sam Melia may not be a remotely sympathetic figure. But his conviction in Leeds Crown Court last week should leave any supporter of free speech seriously concerned... Britain’s hate-speech laws have already been used to criminalise all manner of people in recent years. Even mainstream political views are now routinely treated by the authorities as hateful and bigoted.  Melia’s case risks bringing us into entirely new territory, too. One of the counts against him was for his use of stickers to express himself. This is what the charge of ‘criminal damage’ refers to in his case. Essentially, the court found that he had supplied the stickers knowing that the recipients might attach them to other people’s property without permission. This flimsy argument could be used against almost any activist in future. If you hand out stickers at a rally in support of, say, gender-critical feminism, you could end up in court on the basis that some of them are likely to be fly-posted...   Under a Labour government the situation for free speech could get even worse. Already, shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper has promised to strengthen hate-crime laws, potentially extending the definition to cover acts of misogyny. Even purposefully ‘misgendering’ trans people by refusing to use their preferred pronouns could constitute a full-blown hate crime under Labour. Anyone who thinks these laws will apply only to far-right activists or proven bigots is woefully naive.  It’s a depressing scene. The establishment seems to have abandoned any pretence of caring about the right to free speech. It is a right that desperately needs defending, even in cases like Sam Melia’s, where the opinions being expressed are genuinely abhorrent.   The UK now finds itself on a path towards authoritarianism. It’s time to stand up for free speech for all, with no ifs and no buts. Even the far right must have the right to free speech."

Ireland: Thousands Demonstrate Against Mass Immigration - "Popular discontent against mass immigration in Ireland reached new heights on Monday as thousands rallied in Dublin against the country’s lax migration and asylum policies. The protest—the latest iteration in the ongoing wave of populist anger sweeping the Republic in recent months—was organised by a loose coalition of political parties and factions. Gathering adjacent to Dublin’s Garden of Remembrance before making its way to the banks of the Liffey, the protest easily outnumbered a left-wing counter-demonstration. It was addressed by political activist and European election candidate Malachy Steenson, who shot to national prominence after helping kickstart the campaign on migration in November 2022... Steenson said that Monday’s protest highlighted the arrival of a new “grassroots nationalist movement.” He added that, although the government had recently given token concessions to the protesters, “the Irish people will not be conned again by those who give allegiance to the EU before their own Nation.”...   Following on from the emergence of Dutch-style farmer protests the recent political upheaval in Ireland has resulted in the government making token concessions on asylum issues, while a right-wing bloc of populist TDs (MPs) looks set to form in the Irish Parliament (Dáil) in response to the changing public mood."

Iran suspected of murder plot against Swedish  Jewso - "the couple was acting on behalf of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC.  IRGC is a brutal military and intelligence organization, which has been accused of numerous acts of violence abroad. IRGC has been classified as a terrorist organization by the United States, among others.  The alleged goal of the operation in Sweden was to murder three Swedish Jews, according to the Swedish Radio investigation.  ”I think that, at least initially, it affected me a lot of thinking of my responsibility as a father, as a husband, towards my family,” said Aron Verständig.   When Swedish Radio’s journalists, after months of reporting, managed to identify Aron Verständig as one of the intended targets, he was first hesitant to speak openly of the suspected murder plot.  “But on the other hand. I have very strong conviction that one cannot hide. I was born a Jew I will remain a Jew for the rest of my life and I can choose to sort of hide under a rock or I can choose to be the person who I am and that's what I've chosen.”  And he is now convinced he must speak out:  “I think that what Iran wants to do is to harm Israel and I think it’s very difficult for them  to do these kind of things in Israel. So instead they are I mean randomly choosing people who have some kind of official position in the Jewish diaspora and trying to create fear.”... Mahdi Ramezani and Fereshteh Sanaeifarid arrived in Sweden in 2015 pretending to be Afghan refugees with fake identities.  They succeeded in deceiving the Swedish Migration Agency and were granted asylum two years later, in 2017... in the summer of 2016, just over a year before the couple was granted residence permits, the Swedish Migration Agency received two anonymous tips about Mahdi Ramezani, who at the time went under the name Foad Malkshahi.  According to the tip-offs, ‘Foad Malkshahi’ was lying about his identity as an Afghan refugee. It was claimed that ‘Foad’ was actually a potentially dangerous Iranian. The case officer at the Swedish Migration Agency notes about the tip:  The person also says that the applicant is a member of the Iranian military organization IRGC.  IRGC, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, is the same organization that is suspected of having ordered the murder plot in Sweden in 2021... When Swedish Radio reporters examined the couple's asylum case, they found more red flags regarding Mahdi Ramezani and Fereshteh Sanaeifarid.  For example; the ID documents they submitted were fake, and the Swedish Migration Agency's language analysis also raised questions about their alleged Afghan origins.  Despite this, and despite the warnings from the tip-offs, the Swedish Migration Agency granted the couple asylum as Afghans in 2017."

Northern variant on X - "Leftists don't understand that compassion is not infinitely scalable. The best example I've heard is how humans respond to cute animals. If you find a lost kitten you'll nurture it, love it and adopt it. You might even do the same for two. If a hundred land on you, you then need to enlist a third party. But if suddenly a thousand kittens appear in your house then you'll be shovelling the little fuckers into a tree shredder before they get any bigger. There are practical limits to human compassion.   And this is why we can't take all the world's refugees. It makes us feel good to save a few, and we're delighted if we can save more, but the idea we can take as many as want to come is faulty. Pretty soon you have more than you're able to care for, to the point where it starts affecting their health and yours. We can no more allow open borders than we can allow infinite kittens. Pretty soon you hit the maximum compassion threshold where the more you overstretch, the lower the value on life.  Lefties talk about dehumanising language in refuge discourse, but that's what happens when there's a continual stream of images from Lampedusa showing vast crowds of migrants, and when NGOs and governments are actively facilitating migration that nobody actually wants. Though they all have individual hopes and aspirations, it is beyond our means to accomodate all of them.   Policy regarding large numbers of people cannot take individual circumstances into account. Limits have to be imposed. Nobody is proposing feeding migrants into tree shredders, but there comes a tipping point where human compassion becomes a dangerous liability, where eventually we end up creating the very chaos and instability migrants are escaping."
Clearly if you don't have infinite compassion, you're a bad person. If you're white and/or in the First World, anyway. The Third World gets a free pass because of racism/colonialism

Britain’s Jihadist Convictions - WSJ - "Anjem Choudary... jurors concluded, had pledged allegiance to Islamic State and invited support for ISIS in violation of the U.K. Terrorism Act... Choudary’s pro-ISIS activities will come as no surprise to those familiar with his ideology. Choudary, who regularly joked about 9/11, organized a funeral for Osama bin Laden following the al Qaeda mastermind’s death in 2011. Attendees at the event chanted “U.S.A., burn in hell!” and “Obama, burn in hell!” Choudary also threatened British-Muslim shop owners who sell alcohol with flogging in 2013, and he described a future Britain where Queen Elizabeth II “would be expected like all women in Britain to be covered from head to toe.” His goal, he said, was to replace British freedom with Taliban-style rule: “We don’t believe in democracy. As soon as they have authority, Muslims should implement Shariah. This is what we’re trying to teach people.”"

How Debit Cards For Migrants Compare to NYC Welfare Benefits - “Migrants arriving in New York City have received prepaid debit cards which appear to deliver twice as much to spend on essentials as other NYC welfare benefits. The average family of four's monthly Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payment is $713. Under New York's pilot card scheme the cash totals $1,400 every four weeks. NYC's mayor Eric Adams has stressed the cards will cut "20 percent of the migrant costs" in the city. The program has been allocated $53 million, and will replace food boxes provided to migrants living at New York City hotels. Adams' cost-saving project is launched at a time when migrant services are desperate for cash as federal funding runs out.… SNAP benefits can only be used to buy grocery products, and not to purchase baby supplies. Adams clarified the cards being given to migrants can be used to purchase both.”
Left wingers claim there shouldn’t be restrictions on welfare money. Clearly the way to pay for it is to “tax the rich” (i.e. everyone richer than them)

Charlie Kirk on X - "How much could your family do with an extra $1,400 a month (almost $17,000 a year)? Because that's what New York City is giving away to migrants as a prize for coming here illegally.  Also, a startup founded by a former JP Morgan banker gets a $2 million no-bid contract for distributing the money.   America's wealth took two and a half centuries to build, and now everyone is allowed to plunder it except for you."

Dutch-Syrian man arrested for randomly stabbing girl, 4, in German supermarket - "Police in Germany arrested a 34-year-old man accused of stabbing a young girl in a supermarket in Wangen im Allgäu. Authorities said on Thursday, "the suspect is a Dutch citizen originally from Syria."  The seemingly random incident happened at about 3 p.m. on Wednesday in a grocery store on Zeppelinstrasse. "Previous findings showed that the man suddenly approached the 4-year-old girl and wounded her with a knife," prosecutors and police said in a joint statement."

France: Muslim migrant teen has weapon and terrorist images, authorities claim he has psychological disorders - "a young man was arrested in possession of a knife in the courtyard of the Collège Albert-Camus in Brunoy (Essonne), according to information from “Valeurs Actuelles.” The teenager was placed in custody for “carrying a prohibited weapon” and “possession of images of a terrorist nature.”  A teenager, born in Yemen, was arrested and placed in police custody on Friday, for “carrying a prohibited weapon” and “possession of images of a terrorist nature,” according to the revelations of Valeurs Actuelles from a judicial source. Suspected of being radicalized, he was surprised in possession of a knife in the courtyard of the Albert-Camus college in Brunoy (Essonne), where he attends school. The management of the establishment notified the authorities.  The young man is also suspected of having numerous photos and videos of an Islamist terrorist nature in his cell phone. During the search, investigators found that the phone had been factory reset. As a result, all photos and videos are gone. The police were nevertheless able to seize computer equipment during the search.  The schoolboy is unknown to the Criminal Record Processing (TAJ). He suffers from psychological disorders. On Saturday, he was brought before the children’s judge for carrying a weapon. At the same time, an incidental procedure was opened for “glorification of terrorism,” separate from the investigation"

Jimmy Kimmel Says Visiting Japan Made Him Realize US Is 'Disgusting'
Anthony Cumia on X - "So Kimmel says America is disgusting compared to Japan. Of course it is. Japan has a respectful, homogeneous society. They are proud of their country and have a national commonality.  The concept of America is nothing but lines on a map at this point. If you’re proud of it, you’re somehow a racist White supremacist. Letting in 3rd world savages has only made things worse.   Kimmel will point out the difference but won’t dare say why it’s the way it is."
Jaelando❌ on X - "Japan also has a notoriously strict immigration policy. Anytime a lib suggests we should be more like Japan, just mention immigration, and it usually shuts them up."
$Chonk 🚀 on X - "It’s really unbelievable how tone deaf this article is. They praise a country where everybody follows the rules and is respectful, but in their own country tolerate rule breakers and discourage improvement of crime, culture, tradition, and responsibility in any meaningful way"

'MORE OPPORTUNITIES THERE:' Denver official tries to ship migrants to Canadian border - "A city official in a migrant shelter in Denver was caught on camera telling newcomers to try their luck in other U.S. cities — and Canada. Video obtained by local outlet KUSA shows Denver’s Newcomer Communications Liaison Andres Carrera, who also serves as Mayor Mike Johnston’s political director, telling migrants that things are bleak in Denver and the sanctuary city can’t support them. “The opportunities are over,” Carrera told the group in Spanish... “New York gives you more. Chicago gives you more,” he insisted. “So I suggest you go there where there is longer-term shelter. There are also more job opportunities there.” He also offered up Miami as an alternative destination, claiming it has more resources and more Spanish speakers... Denver is essentially making the choice easy for migrants by enforcing stringent limits on how long they can stay in city shelters — two weeks for individuals, six weeks for families with children. The city has even offered to pay for migrants’ bus fare to destinations of their choice."
Of course, they will not revoke their sanctuary city status, because virtue signalling is too important

McCAUGHEY: New York City is doomed to be Migrant Central - "Mayor Eric Adams’ agreement to limit the time migrants can stay in New York City shelters at taxpayers’ expense is smoke and mirrors. It’s designed to fool you into thinking he’s solving a problem when he’s actually caving to the migrant industrial complex... The city currently spends a whopping $387 a night for food and a roof alone for each family and shells out more money for free medical care, education and legal services. This agreement does zero to alleviate those staggering costs... Worst of all, nothing in the agreement empowers the mayor to evict troublemakers who have repeat run-ins with police. The migrants who beat up cops in Times Square were living in shelters, courtesy of taxpayers, and already had long rap sheets. When troublemakers are arrested and give a shelter address, the shelter should be contacted and told they no longer qualify. Why should taxpayers be footing the bill to house criminals? Notorious gangs like Tren de Aragua and MS-13 recruit from the shelters. How convenient that taxpayers pay to house these gangs’ lackeys... Only New York has a “right to shelter” and it makes the city the top destination for migrants. New York City spends more than 10 times as much as Los Angeles per migrant and more than five times as much as Chicago. To top it off, the agreement and the Adams administration are renaming migrants “new arrivals,” whitewashing the laws they broke to get here... Adams praised the city’s “responsible policies” and blamed “Republican extremists” for the border crisis. Sorry, Mr. Mayor, but the crisis here in New York City is due to the lavish benefits local Democrats insist on offering “new arrivals.” There’s no whitewashing that."

leekern on X - "British muslims are more of a threat to Britain’s tolerant way of life than neo-Nazis  They are the most pre-eminent force for racism in Britain  46 per cent of them said they sympathise with Hamas - an Islamic fundamentalist organisation that believes raping women and slitting the throats of babies is pleasing to Allah - and which wants to destroy democracy and replace it with an Islamic state that murders gays, subjugates women and kills or enslaves non-muslims  This is more disgusting and unacceptable than any plausible threat white supremacists pose in Britain.   75% of British Muslims are anti-intellectual racists who, out of their sectarian bigotry, deny the testimony of women who have been sexually assaulted   But for all manner of stupid reasons people are scared to be honest about the extremism and racism we all know exists within that community   Why? You are scared of muslims because you’ve seen too many of them behave like crazy psycho religious lunatics and you mistakenly feel you can be a fawning sycophant and placate them  You are scared of the manipulative trick of being called Islamophobic - which Muslim extremists use against you in order to spread their bullshit  You have an absurd idea that a minority - or people you think are brown skinned - cannot be racists and scumbags  This will not do. There is no acceptable reason not to tackle this head on and call out disgusting attitudes within the Muslim world  Stop treating Muslims like babies  They are adults  And bullshit and racism within their community must be challenged aggressively and without apology   In 2024 they are a more vital force for racism in Britain than any paltry, disparate, neo-Nazi group  It won’t get better down the line unless it’s confronted now"

An alleged gang rape shocks Italy, and provides fodder for an ascendant far right - "Italy has been shaken by the alleged gang rape of a 13-year-old girl in front of her boyfriend in a public park in the Sicilian city of Catania, the latest in a string of shocking sexual attacks in the country.  The case is reminiscent of two alleged gang rapes last summer. A group of seven men and teenage boys between the ages of 15 and 18 are currently on trial for the alleged rape of a 19-year-old girl in Palermo in August.  Weeks later nine young men were arrested and charged with allegedly raping two cousins aged 10 and 12 near Naples and broadcasting the attack live on social media. They, too, are facing trial.   Last month’s alleged gang rape in Catania has become not only a symbol of violence against women in the country, but a cause célèbre for Italy’s far-right government.  The seven suspected perpetrators were all Egyptian migrants, three of them under the age of 18, Catania police confirmed to CNN."
Gang rape is bad - because it helps the "far right"
