Wait, I thought the UK was fully woke.  Does this mean all those prosecutions/detainments for misgendering someone will go away?

UK Stabbing Suspect Pleads Muslim

 

LONDON — Prosecutors were stopped in their tracks this week and left with no recourse to pursue the case any further, after a suspect in a recent stabbing incident in the United Kingdom pleaded Muslim.

Sources close to the case said authorities had been confident that the alleged perpetrator would be quickly convicted and sentenced for the violent crime, but were dismayed upon hearing that the suspect's legal counsel would be entering a "Muslim" plea.

"I'm afraid there's little that can be done at this point," said lead Crown Prosecutor Aleister Burlington.  "We thought we had [...]

Object Lesson:  Britain's High Earners Fleeing Due to High Taxes

The once-Great Britain seems determined to supply us, the United States, with object lessons that we, on the right, pay attention to and the left ignores.

The latest such incident involves the United Kingdom's tax policy - and how high-earning Brits (by high-earning, we mean productive) are fleeing to greener, lower-tax pastures.  [...]

Farage's Reform UK beats out establishment parties in 'earthquake' elections

The right-wing Reform UK Party saw a series of electoral wins early Friday after it secured parliamentary, mayoral and several local election seats in what leader Nigel Farage said is proof that Reform UK is "now the opposition party to this Labour government."

 

Farage, who predicted earlier this year in an interview with Fox News Digital that there would be a "political revolution," said the centurylong, two-party system that has dominated British politics was "now dead" after both the liberal Labour Party and Conservative Party saw losses in a Thursday election. 

 

Reform UK secured a fifth parliamentary seat after Sarah Pochin flipped the Runcorn & Helsby constituency, which is, according to Reform leaders, considered Labour "heartland."

Mass Immigration Without Assimilation Is A Recipe For National Suicide

 

If you want to know what mass immigration without assimilation produces in a country, look no further than Scotland.  Immigrants from Pakistan now constitute an ethno-religious voting bloc in that country with their very own politicians advocating for nakedly sectarian interests.

Recently, a video clip from 2022 resurfaced on social media of Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar standing in front of the flag of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan claiming that "change is coming" and forthrightly calling for ethnic and Muslim sectarianism in Scottish politics.  Sarwar doesn't mince words: He wants his people to take control of every level of government in Scotland.

 

"We will only truly get real power, not if we just have more Pakistanis sitting in council chambers and parliaments, but actually having more Pakistanis and South Asians sitting in the corridors of power making the decisions," said Sarwar.

He went on to declare that the days where "our South Asian community are viewed as a vote bank or a curry bank are well and truly gone.  The days where South Asian communities get to lead political parties and get to lead countries is now upon us.  The days when South Asian communities get to decide not just at which school our children go to but what they are taught in those schools, is also coming."

There's a lot to unpack in his statement.  No mention of the Scottish people, or Britain, or any shared national interests or a common good.  [...]

The SNP had a couple of conflicting issue, supporting Islam and LGBT, well T, and the illogicality sort of spelled their demise, Labour have similar problems, the Cons are a busted flush so the field is wide open.
