Britain Stunned As Report Claims 250,000
British Girls Were Victimized by Pakistani
Rape Gangs

Original Article

Tuesday, British Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe, the leader of the Restore Britain party (sorry to say, at this point I think it is more accurate to look at Nigel Farage and his Reform Party as controlled opposition rather than a real choice), released a report that probably ensures that British politics won't be quite the same. His 219-page "The Rape Gang Inquiry Report" unmasks the concerted effort by British officials to cover up the systematic rape of British girls in their early teens, if that, intimidate the girls into refusing to press charges, and protect the feral Pakistani gangs who preyed on them.

This is not Churchill's Britain. Not the Britain who fought Hitler. This is a cowardly white Britain that is letting foreigners take their country. Many cowardly white's in America are doing the same thing. Call me racist, but be willing to prove me wrong when you do.

When governments refuse to protect the public, especially young women, the elected officials must be voted out of office or the general population must arise and take care of the problem themselves. If there is no government restraining evil, vigilantes have to arise to protect the civilization.

The only reason we are not having the same problem here in mass, is that the rapist in the US has to worry some about women with a concealed gun. So young girls jogging with no purse is their target of choice. When I feel uncomfortable in a parking lot, I put my hand down in my purse as I walk, in an effort to appear that I am armed.

The UK so called Conservative Party and the UK Labor Party governments loaded with socialists have sat on their butts and allowed those Pakistanis to sexually victimize those hundreds of thousands of British girls. The UK needs to police up all those foreign origin perpetrators, criminally prosecute them in special courts, and kick them out of the UK. It appears that the UK socialists have done about the same to the British Armed Forces, especially the British Royal Navy, almost making those military organizations, that had a very proud history, almost irrelevant to their number one enemy, Russia, and as a result it won’t be long before the Russian Navy shows up off the UK and Ireland shores as a result.

We in the U.S. are not too far behind the Brits. Until we eject the muslims from our country, the same thing is going to happen here. The same things are already happening here, but apparently not enough for people to be upset about it. This isn't a racial thing, or even a religious thing. It's about ridding our country of a theocratic political movement whose history provides everything we need to know, and why they need to go.

The British government has known about this for decades. What makes you think a report will change things now? The perps are cheap labor and votes. The British government will use this to suspend elections, jail the people who made the report, and quell any unrest. Will the Brits rise up? How can they? They were disarmed long ago. This is Britain folks. The country most like the USA. If this can happen in Britain, it can happen here in the gool ole USA.

We've been reading stories about this horror- and the chicken-droppings politicians telling the police to look the other way- for years. Gradually the stories are getting louder and more numerous. Hopefully this will bring it to the Public's attention enough that the politicians will HAVE to take their thumbs out of their rectums and do something about it, or be voted out of office -finally! That the British have no right of free speech written into their laws has enabled this Evil to flourish- as #25 said- Tommy Robinson is in PRISON for talking about this. What is his real crime? Embarrassing the evil, crooked, weak politicians that are running Britain today. "For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter. " -George Washington, Address to the Officers of the Army | Saturday, March 15, 1783 It sounds to me like it's time for a little bit of Revolution in Britain!

In 80 years Britain has gone from the mightiest empire on earth to Pakistan's harem. How does that happen? She is also steadily dropping into poverty. Brits can't afford children because they are busy paying for immigrant children and their children's children will be dispossessed in their own homeland. It is a pity.

One industry in America pumps out toxic waste day and night, but suffers no penalty for the damage it causes. It operates at enormous public and private expense, sucking up hundreds of billions of dollars in government money. Its toxic bilge poisons much of society, but those who complain about it are often dismissed as ignorant or bigoted. Its product is largely free of state and federal regulation. That industry is higher education. And the toxic waste it emits isn’t chemical but intellectual sludge, in the form of racial bigotry, antisemitism and crude Marxism.

In a statement read over maritime radio channels, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the US was in violation of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, which President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed Wednesday.

Donald Trump has been the greatest, most clear-eyed and most transformative foreign policy president of my lifetime. But Trump is also the famed businessman who wrote The Art of the Deal four decades ago. There has therefore always been the risk that the president's novel and often unorthodox approach to foreign policy could be subsumed by a greater dealmaking imperative. Prudent statesmanship on the world stage requires setting clear ends and then working backward to calibrate the appropriate means — diplomatic, economic, military or otherwise — to achieve those ends. Because of his dealmaking background, Trump — despite all his foreign policy successes — was always uniquely vulnerable

Nearly twice as many Democrats reported being somewhat or very ashamed to be American compared to overall poll respondents. Out of all U.S. adult citizens polled, 12 percent say they are “somewhat ashamed” and 8 percent say they are “very ashamed.” Still, some Democrats say they are “very proud” to be American (22 percent) or “somewhat proud” (18 percent).

Bush administration, adding: The result is a market distortion [because a bubble of illegal labor] holds down wages for those Americans most exposed to labor competition from unauthorized workers [and] increases demand for housing without a corresponding increase in supply.

I expected this, or at least some variation of it. I wrote about this on Wednesday: Iran demanded the ceasefire in Lebanon to create a steady casus belli they can use to jerk the United States around and drive a wedge between Israel and the United States. Demand a ceasefire, then get Hezbollah to keep poking at Israel with attacks to generate defensive responses. Then use those defensive responses to cancel talks or jerk us around, claiming that Israel violated the ceasefire. This was, at least to me, as predictable as the sun rising in the East. Hell, even I predicted it, and I am not a genius.

He’s right — it’s probably worse. Obama’s treaty did not prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, it simply punted the issue down the road in exchange for cash. Trump’s agreement has the same vague promises, the same payouts, but with the added twist that Iran can and will take the world hostage by shutting the Strait of Hormuz at will. On Friday, just days after the signing of the MOU, Iran moved to close the Strait,

Former Olympian David Hearn was arrested and charged with misdemeanor for destruction of property for vandalizing the Lincoln Reflecting Pool.
