The first leads to the second, and the second reinforces the first.

What Do You Think Happened After This English Teen Converted to Islam?

 

[...] the Oxford Mail recently ran an article about a young English lad from Oxfordshire who "converted to Islam as a teenager."  That must mean that he converted within the last three years, as we're told that he is sixteen now.  Judging on the basis of what we're told about Islam and "Islamophobia," one might have expected this story to be all about how Islam transformed this young fellow's life, and led him to feel better, act better, and live better.  One might have expected to read happy quotations from the boy's parents, all about, say, how he had fallen in with a rough crowd, and there are just so many temptations facing young people these days, but then he discovered the Qur'an, and since then, has been quiet, studious, courteous, and serious about bettering himself and making something of himself in this cruel world.

 

The whole story might have been another establishment media attempt to reassure Britons who are jittery about their country's present and downright fearful about its future.  [...]

I would vote against his party solely because it has the superfluous "u" in its name.

 

So what do our local Brit-types make of these results?

Starmer vows to fight on after Labour punished in polls across Britain

 

LONDON, May 8 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed on Friday to stay in office to "deliver change" after his Labour Party suffered heavy losses in English local elections and parliamentary votes in Scotland and Wales, deepening doubts over his ability to govern.

Just under two years after winning a landslide national election, Starmer saw voters punish his ‌Labour government, with support evaporating even in its traditional strongholds in London, former industrial regions in central and northern England, and in Wales.

 

The main beneficiary was the populist Reform UK party of Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage, which gained more than 1,000 council seats in England, and will likely form the main opposition in Scotland and Walesto the pro-independence Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru.

Early results underscored the fracturing of Britain's traditional two-party system, with the once-dominant Labour and Conservative parties losing votes not only to Reform, but to the left-wing Green Party at the other end of the political spectrum, and to nationalists in Scotland and Wales.  [...]

I watched quite a lot of it, first on Sky then BBC.

 

Greens well an odd combination of Corbynistas and Islamists, they were interviewing traditional Greens who wondered what happened to their Party, anyway bound to split at some point as they only have ProPals and Open Borders in common.

 

Labour reminds me of the Dems in the both abandoned their traditional base, Labours origins are with the Unions now who knows what.

 

Conservatives are the walking dead, they also lost seats and that would have been a wow if it was not for the total collapse of Labour

 

Reform the ultimate protest vote and highly doubt they have the depth needed, but who are you going to vote for otherwise.

 

Lib Dems never get much of a mention but they picked up some seats as they always do at this time of the cycle.

 

What is often not mentioned is that the membership of the traditional parties has collapsed, the people who knock on doors etc, and Labour has lost a large number who could be expected to do this sort of grunt vote.

 

Scotlans and Wales sort of similar, well labourr had been in charge for over 100 years, the Welsh Labour leader lost her seat and resigned.
